Chapter 100: Jinlan River
A few days before the Dragon Boat Festival are the busiest days after the plum berries crossed over.
The first two days were preparations, what to cut reed leaves, boil bean paste, and steam glutinous rice, these are all fine.
The main thing is to beat the glutinous rice in the stone mortar, which is really tired to death.
The job of making glutinous rice, their family can only fall on Mei Youqian's head.
According to her dad, her biceps muscles have gotten bigger these days.
Wrapping zongzi and making pastries is naturally plum berries, and her mother took Li Cuihua and the Miao family together.
#请问, how to liven up the atmosphere with two social terrorists to work together? Online and more! #
On weekdays, when I take Miao out to chat, there are other talking aunts present, so I am not afraid of the scene being cold.
But now that her mother has to face two social fears alone, Mei Berry only feels that she has burned more tea in the past two days.
Even when she dreamed back at midnight, Meiberry's awake ears were full of various dreams of her parents.
Either "If you don't fight, if you don't fight, I won't fight again", or "You should say something to me!" ”
The bitterness of my own parents, plum berries can't be eaten.
With the characteristics of physical strength and manual waste, plum berries can only be accompanied by their own stoves these days and burn the fire every day.
She basically cooks bean paste, zongzi leaves, and zongzi at home.
Occasionally throw an egg into the pot where the rice dumplings are boiled, or scoop up a rice dumplings that have been boiled and fried, and the plum berries are so fragrant.
So much so that when Mei You found Mei Berry, she saw Mei Berry squatting behind the stove and eating eggs like a little squirrel.
"I saw a bamboo cart in the yard, which your father made for your mule?"
Mei You got straight to the point and mentioned the board car that she saw at Mei Berry's house today.
"Well, in this way, you don't have to rub other people's ox carts on the street in the future, although the mule cub is not as powerful as the old cow for the time being, but it is still possible to carry your own family or pull goods."
In the past two days, her father made a light scooter suitable for mules and cubs out of bamboo according to the ox cart he had been riding in and the size of the mule.
Thinking of the ox cart they took before, the old cow pulled six or seven people in a cart, not to mention Mei Berry, Mei Youqian was distressed when he saw it.
You can't do that with your own mules in the future.
Therefore, the mule cart was not very large, and it could seat three or four people at most.
Mei You nodded, she came to Mei Berry this time, in fact, there were other things.
She wanted to make an appointment with Meiberry and wait for the Dragon Boat Festival to find a time to go to the county together.
The previous soap, all the proportions have been calculated, and after the Dragon Boat Festival, Mei You will completely implement this matter.
Mei Berry agreed to Mei You without thinking about it.
Just such a group of people were busy for several days, and the morning before the Dragon Boat Festival, the Meiberry family loaded the zongzi and pastries into the car before dawn.
In the morning, the family of three let the mule cub get used to pulling the cart, and even the three people did not get into the car, only let the mule cub pull the goods.
When they arrived in the town, as soon as Lin Shoucai's store opened, he saw plum berries and his family sending zongzi.
"These kinds of dumplings with different fillings have different flavors, and the color of the silk threads on the outside is also different. This has the corresponding filling and color written on it. ”
After that, Mei Youqian handed Lin Shoucai the small yellow paper that he commonly used at home, and what surprised Lin Shoucai was that the family in front of him actually knew how to read.
This piece of paper is also a plum berry, and they have planned it at home.
Those who can recognize words in these years can be regarded as capable.
I have cooperated with Lin Shoucai twice, and I don't know if they will have any business dealings in the future.
With this stubble, Lin Shoucai's own idea of looking down on their family or wanting to take advantage of it will be reined in.
Just like Mei Berry and they thought, Boss Lin took the piece of paper and looked at Mei Berry and their family, the expression on his face changed slightly.
It doesn't seem to have changed much, but they definitely take their family's literacy to heart.
"Thanks for the reminder, I was thinking about how to distinguish it, and this reminder really solved my urgent need."
Saying that, Lin Shoucai gave the remaining balance to Mei Youqian neatly, no more, no less.
"These dim sums, although not as delicate as those in the restaurant, are also our family's heart, thank you Boss Lin for taking care of our family's small business these days."
After taking the silver, Mei Youqian handed over the home-made headline cake and sesame oil mung bean cake to the other party.
I didn't make much this time, so I made 40 of each dim sum and kept it for sale in the town.
Because it was for Lin Shoucai, Mei Youqian specially made a small gift box with better quality and put the snacks in it.
"You're welcome."
Lin Shoucai took the delicate small bamboo box, and was even more surprised by the small snacks inside.
"What a craft!"
"So-so." When Mei You saw him accept it, she modestly said a few words and left.
Wei Meili took the mule cub to the downtown to sell snacks.
Mei Youqian also had to go to the dock outside the town with his daughter to wait for the boat in the morning.
The wharf outside Lihu Town is less than a kilometer from the town, and the father and daughter are soon on the wharf.
The father and daughter asked the people on the dock about the boat going to the county, and after paying the fare, the father and daughter got on the boat.
However, because everything was fresh, the father and daughter did not choose to enter the cabin, but stood on the outside deck and watched the scenery on the pier in the early morning.
Even early in the morning, the wharf in Lihu Town is very lively.
Lihu Lake is like a natural harbor, where many north-south boats are moored, and there is even an inn outside the pier.
The inn looked a little bigger than the one in the town, and it was very magnificent.
There were also a few simple sheds on the edge of the inn, and it was difficult to see what food was in them from a distance, and most of the workers who worked on the docks were consumed in these sheds.
My intuition told Mei Youqian that these things were not delicious.
"There are still a lot of food businesses in this wharf~"
Plum Berry watched as her dad hadn't been quiet for two seconds, and then chatted with the boatman resting on the deck again.
"Hey, it's convenient after all."
"I look at it and it feels delicious~"
"Where? It's just that you can eat enough, and although the price is affordable, the other ......" The boatman shook his head and said no more, but everything was silent.
"There are a lot of boats that come to rest at this pier every day, and the inn is estimated to be doing very good business."
"Yes, every year at the beginning of spring and before the beginning of winter, there are so many boats here that sometimes they can't even get in."
Plum Berry listened for a while and then didn't want to listen to the conversation between his father and the boatman, and Mei Berry glanced around, but saw an acquaintance with sharp eyes-
Lin Shoucai, the grocery store owner.
At this time, he was not in the store, but only a few people with him, carrying two baskets of plum berries and familiar rice dumplings on a big boat behind their house.
That ship...... Mei Berry looked at it twice, compared to the many people walking around on other ships, it seemed to be extremely deserted.
"How strange is that ship?" Plum Berry pretended to be innocent and inserted into the small talk between her father and the boatman next to her, and even took them to look at the big ship that Plum Berry mentioned.
"Yo, that ...... The eyes are ruthless, it should have stopped here temporarily, right? ”
The boatman has run on the river between Lihu and Jinbai County for I don't know how many times, and he has no impression of this kind of boat, it is definitely the first time he has come.
"Oh, uncle, do people in the town usually go to the county to take your boat?"
"That's not necessarily, some people go to the county to do business, pull goods, and will choose some large cargo ships. I'm here to carry people. Sit and go~" The uncle laughed, glanced at the cabin again, and said with a smile, "Look, isn't this time to go~"
With that, he shouted.
Seeing this, Mei Youqian pulled her daughter into the cabin and found a place to sit together.
Although the boatman's uncle said that his ship only carried people, it was rare for the people sitting in the cabin to be like their father and daughter who really didn't have anything in their hands.
As the boat drifted out of the dock, Plum Berry watched the changing scenery through the open windows in the cabin, and finally she couldn't sit still and left the cabin again.
She stood on the deck and looked at the wide river, the cool breeze on the river was blowing, and Mei Berry took a deep breath and whispered: "This is the Jinlan River." ”
Because it is early summer, the mountains on both sides of the river are deep and beautiful, the villages below the mountains are vertical and horizontal, and the fields are like fields.
"Wow!"
This kind of vision made Plum Berry admire the magnificent scenery, and at the same time, she suddenly found a problem-
"Dad, do you think the channel of this Jinlan River is higher than the ground?"
Mei Berry stood on the boat and looked at the mountains on both sides, and he thought it was strange before, and he couldn't say what was weird.
Now when she looks at her village in the distance, she realizes that her perspective is actually from the top down!
Before she crossed this terrain, it seemed to be the case with their mother river.
Historically, because of the diversion, the bursting of the embankment, and the flooding brought by the mother river, I don't know how many people have been displaced and uprooted from their homes.
"yes, such a river...... In case ......"
Mei Youqian glanced around and found that there was no one where their father and daughter were standing, so he dared to whisper: "If this is a river breach...... That's the end of the calf, everybody. ”
"Dad, have you forgotten what I said about next year?"
The book mentions next summer's flood, and if the family only had a vague idea before, now, looking at the river channel above the ground, Meiberry instantly understands why the flood caused such a big disaster.
Just after Mei Berry was a little worried, she heard her father say, "Otherwise, let's go to the county and see, if the terrain is high there, let's buy a house there."
When the accident is about to happen next year, our family will pull the third family to the county! ”
I used to hear my daughter often say that you should not stay away from the protagonist, and you must follow closely to punch in and complete the system tasks.
But the flood is ruthless, maybe if the people are gone because of the failure to check in, their family will have to die because of the flood.
In this case, Mei Youqian's idea is much simpler than Mei Berry, it is better for their family to be anti-guest, and when the time comes, take the heroine and run away!
Mei Youqian: I ran to the county in advance with the heroine's family.
Meiberry: What if it doesn't work in the prefecture?
Mei Youqian: Then go to Fucheng!
Meiberry: What about Fucheng?
Mei Youqian: ...... Then ask the heroine where we are going.
Plum berries: ......
The important people are on the boat behind! But I won't show up for the time being~
