"In the hall." Sakura thought that Li Zheng was also like everyone else, and came to her house to touch the gourd, so he took him to see.

There is only one big gourd in the hall at this time, and the other one is carried home by Jiang Quan, saying that it will be brought to the market next time to be a matchmaker and attract popularity, after all, you can't take your little cousin to the market every time.

Sun Li was touching the big gourd and asked, "Yingbao, how much does your gourd sell?" ”

Ying Bao thought for a while and said a compromise price: "Last time, the shopkeeper of Simen Town gave out thirty taels of silver, this one is about the same size as that one, and it is also thirty taels." ”

Sun Lizheng was very happy when he heard this, because his second son gave him fifty taels and asked him to buy a signature gourd and go back to the town shop.

This time he saved twenty taels in vain, and Sun Li would not return it to his second son.

Who said that Lao Tzu doesn't earn his son's money, it's all nonsense, and when you encounter this kind of good thing, it's right to push the boat along the river.

"I bought this gourd." Sun Li is righteous.

Of course, Sakura Bao was willing, and immediately nodded: "Okay, do you want to carry it back by yourself?" ”

Of course, Sun Lizheng will not carry it himself, his youngest son and a few villagers are collecting taxes in the village, and they will go up to the south slope to pick him up in a while.

At noon, when Jiang Quan knew that his little cousin had sold the big gourd for thirty taels, he was so angry that he beat his chest.

"You fool! Thirty taels were sold, that's the gourd king, many people have inquired with me, I have already opened eighty taels, and a person is going home to discuss the money. ”

"Isn't there another one?" Sakura said unconcernedly.

She was figuring out how to get the big gourd out of the cave. There are many gourds in the cave that are longer than those outside.

"That's a matchmaker! Do you understand the matchmaker, you can't sell it! Jiang Quan sighed.

Ying Bao blinked and whispered to reassure: "What are you anxious about, in fact, I still have two biggest gourds hidden, but I can't show them to you now." ”

She decided, and quietly made two big gourds out at night, saying that she had hidden them in the fungus shed before.

"Really? How did I not know? Jiang Quan was a little unconvinced.

Since the little cousin's gourd has grown to the size of a basin, he has come to see it every day, why doesn't he know that there are two other gourd kings?

Sakura Bao made up nonsense in a serious way: "Because I hid them in a bamboo shed, of course you don't know." ”

Jiang Quan touched the back of his head, a little puzzled.

But doubts are doubts, and he is still looking forward to having two more gourd kings.

The conversation between the two ended, and they went about their own business.

Ming'er is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Yingbao gave Chu Chu a few days off, asking her to go back and have a good holiday, and come back next month.

Yanru bought a lot of candles, boiled a jar of wax oil, dripped Sumu red in the wax oil, and taught her nieces to make river lanterns.

She used an egg, dipped it lightly in wax oil, and picked it up.

The eggshell is stained with a layer of red wax oil.

Once the wax has set, carefully peel the wax shell off the egg shell and set aside.

Just dip the wax again and again, peel off a bunch of oval red wax sheets, and then glue these wax pieces that look like flower petals one by one to form a red lotus seat.

Then use a piece of sheepskin as the base, put a candle with a core in the middle of the lotus, and the river lantern is made.

Sakura Bao followed the school and made a few lights, preparing to go out with her sisters on the Mid-Autumn Festival night to put out the lights.

Jiang Erlang cut down the bamboo, built a bamboo tower in the open space outside the courtyard, and prepared to erect the Mid-Autumn Festival on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Jiang Laohan and his grandchildren were not idle, buying all kinds of colored oiled paper, cutting bamboo strips, and making all kinds of lanterns at home.

Chunniang and her sister-in-law made moon cakes with newly bought carved molds, and the moon cake filling was red bean paste, as well as osmanthus sugar crisp.

After making the river lantern, Sakura took her two younger brothers to knock red dates.

Her family planted several jujube trees, and at this time the jujube trees were ripe, hanging red on the treetops, all of them bigger than bird eggs.

"It's delicious." Jiang Jie picked up the dates and stuffed them into his mouth, clicking and eating vigorously.

Seeing that there were still a lot of jujubes in the treetops that could not be reached, Sakura decided to climb the tree and knock again.

It is very easy for children to climb the tree, climb up in three or two times, and sit in the tree and look around.

In the distance, there are several houses under construction, all of which are brick houses, three main houses facing south, and two stove houses hanging on the east side, which are similar to their own layout.

When these new houses are built and people move in, the southern slope will not be deserted.

Sakura suddenly remembered the flood in her previous life, and her heart was not only worried.

Although my family has moved to the south slope, most of the fields are at the bottom of the slope, and there is no way to move it.

High-quality fields such as rice paddies and wheat fields are basically within the scope of flooding, and a single flood can wash everything away.

"Sister, come down!" Jiang Wu Jiang Jie saw that his sister never got off the tree, so he was a little anxious, and raised his neck and shouted: "Don't beat dates, sister, come down!" ”

Sakura Bao snorted, knocked on the top with a bamboo pole a few times, knocked down all the dates that he could reach, and then slowly climbed down the tree.

Jiang Jie Jiang Wu bent down to pick up the dates, the two puppies pounced and grabbed them, and the rhubarb also picked up the dates and took the initiative to put them in the basket.

Xiao Hei grabbed one and bit the other, and a dog ate dates with relish, and was the same as its owner.

After picking up the dates, the three siblings carried the basket home, and when they walked to the straw stack at home, they saw a child sneaking behind the haystack and peeping at them.

Little Black Rhubarb screamed over there, jumping around trying to pounce, but he didn't dare.

"Who! What the hell! Jiang Wu rushed over and waved the bamboo pole in his hand to intimidate the other party.

"It's me." A dirty, messy boy leaned out from behind a haystack. "I'm Wei Zhan."

Sakura and her brother were stunned.

How did this damn boy do this, hiding behind her haystack.

Jiang Wu and Jiang Jie also knew him, and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing here?" ”

Wei Zhan moved out, scratched his messy hair, and said in a low voice: "I... I'm separated from my eldest brother..."

"Separated?" Sakura Po expressed disbelief. "You have so many guards in your house, can I lose you?"

Wei Zhan frowned and said, "We encountered a large group of bandits halfway, I... I managed to escape. ”

"Big bandits? Where did you meet the bandits? "Sakura has never heard of any bandits near Kotogawa Prefecture in my previous life.

"Over there in Zhouhe County, which is more than 100 miles away from here." Wei Zhan said in a low voice, "I haven't eaten for several days. ”

He was also clever, and exchanged his coat for some dry food with the villagers on the side of the road, and then walked along the official road all the way back to Chuanhe Town.

As soon as Jiang Wu heard that he hadn't eaten, he handed over the dates that Ah Huang was holding, "Give it to you." ”

Wei Zhan took the jujube and ate it.

"What about your brother and the Chen family?" Sakura didn't really believe this kid's words.

Wei Zhan: "I don't know, there are too many bandits, my guards told me to run quickly, just... I was separated from them. ”

In fact, he didn't say anything, he rode his horse and deliberately ran back, and finally the horse was tired and foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground, and he ran into the woods to hide.

When there were no more pursuers behind, Wei Zhan came out of the woods and walked along the official road to Chuanhe Town.

Originally, he could have gone to Qinchuan County, but he didn't go, and directly found Chuanhe Town, and went to Jiang's house in Nanpo.
