Chapter 7 Selling Soybeans

The village is silent, with the occasional bird passing by, no different than ever.

No one found out that there was no one missing.

The crisp cry of the baby sounded in the mountains, and Lu Qingcao's family also got up.

With the blessing of the spiritual spring, Lu Qingcao's body was not painful at all.

Su Yihua lay on the side of the bed and patted the baby in a decent manner: "Mother, my sister has been crying." ”

"Sister, sister, mother, what's my sister's name?" Su Erli also lay on the side of the bed, looking up at Lu Qingcao.

The child has been born for almost ten days, and he still has no name.

The pink baby noticed that everyone was talking about him, stopped crying, and his black eyes turned around, which was very cute.

Lu Qingcao leaned over and sniffed the milk fragrance on the baby's body, and said casually: "Just call Tingting, Lu Tingting." ”

Granny Qin brought a pot of porridge, and when she heard the words, she had a meal in her hand: "Why is the child's surname Lu ......?"

The children in the village all have their father's surname, the first two daughters are surnamed Su, and the youngest is surnamed Lu......

If it spreads outside, it will be poked in the backbone again.

Lu Qingcao didn't care about that, and her fingers swept over Lu Tingting's little face, causing her to giggle.

"You see, she likes the name too. Lu Tingting, Lu Tingting. Lu Qingcao pinched her daughter's thin face, "Ting is to stop, I will not have any more children in the future, Tingting is the last." ”

Lu Tingting, who looked like a kitten, snorted, not knowing joy.

Lu Tingting is too thin, she is not enough in the womb, and she has no milk to eat.

Lu Qingcao's body was barely alive, let alone breastfeeding.

Fortunately, Lu Tingting is not a picky eater and eats everything.

Su Yihua looked at her mother's doting appearance, and her heart was sour.

In my memory, my mother had never done this to them.

Su Erli also puffed out her cheeks, and said awkwardly: "Mother, I also want to have your surname." ”

Why does my sister have the same surname as her mother? She wants it too!

"Okay, from now on, Erli and Yihua will all be surnamed Lu, and my surname will be mine!" Lu Qingcao agreed.

The daughter she gave birth to, she can give her child whatever she wants!

Granny Qin had already prepared the rice soup, and said hesitantly: "If the Su family knows, they will definitely make trouble......

"Then let them make trouble, and they won't give child support, and they still want to pick up the three daughters for nothing? Think beautifully! Lu Qingcao stretched out his hand to hug his three daughters, and the empty piece of his heart was filled.

Lu Erli's little face rubbed in her arms, and her face was full of happiness: "Mother is the best." ”

Lu Yihua's stiff back gradually softened, and it stuck to Lu Qingcao's body.

Listening to the voices of the mother and son, Granny Qin sighed, didn't say anything, and only said, "Come and eat." ”

After eating three meals of boiled soybeans in a row, Lu Qingcao couldn't stand it.

Condiments are scarce in the village, only oil and salt, and they are very valuable.

Wang Er's family is poor, only half a jar of coarse salt, and I don't know how many years it has been placed, and the snow-white salt flowers have begun to turn yellow.

In order to save money, Granny Qin usually eats by herself without salt, and only relies on the bark of trees in the mountains to enhance the flavor.

A mouthful of rice soup with a mouthful of tree bark looks a little funny.

In order to replenish the children's body, a spoonful of coarse salt was put in the boiled beans.

But the soybean soup is still unpalatable.

Lu Qingcao is really unaccustomed to eating.

Even canned soybeans in the last days are better than this.

What's more, if you eat too many soybeans, the air quality in the house is also worrying......

"Mother-in-law, I have saved a lot of soybeans, so I might as well sell them at the market and exchange them for some meat to replenish the children's bodies." Lu Qingcao knocked on the side.

Granny Qin has always had no opinion on her thoughts, and nodded and said, "Okay, I haven't been to the market for many years, I don't know if I can find it." ”

As soon as Lu Erli heard that she was going to the market, she immediately patted her chest and said, "Mother, I'll take you there, I know." ”

Lu Yihua also nodded: "I know it too." ”

Taking advantage of people's inattention, Lu Qingcao filled half a bag of soybeans from the space and put it in the yard.

There are more than a dozen catties of soybeans in a small half bag, which is a lot of material in the last days.

The two children were more powerful than she thought, and they carried the soybeans for a whole hour, but they didn't shout tired.

Looking at the bazaar, Lu Qingcao was a little disappointed.

It's too much different from what she thought, at best it's a vegetable market.

The market is full of people from nearby villages, and there are no rare things, they are all grown in their own fields and sold.

In addition to some grain, there is only a meat stall and a small fish stall.

"Big girl, how do you buy this?" As soon as she stood still, a woman with yellow teeth came up and asked in a low voice.

"Ten pennies a pound." Lu Qingcao didn't understand the market, so he quoted a high price first, and he could drop it if he couldn't sell it.

Hearing the price, the woman was stunned for a moment, looked up and down, and said, "How can it be sold like this?" It's all about it, you're the first to come back, right? ”

Arguments?

Soybeans on sale?

That can't be earned?!

Seeing that Lu Qingcao was puzzled, the woman kindly explained: "You big one can also do laundry and cook, and you can give birth in two years, you can buy 100 yuan, and the small one has to be raised for a few years, waste food, and sell it for 50 yuan at best." ”

Co-authoring is to buy her daughter?!

Lu Qingcao was furious, and his voice was a few degrees higher: "I'm here to buy soybeans, even if I starve to death, I won't sell my daughter!" ”

The woman knew that she had touched a hard bone, so she didn't dare to talk more, and slipped away.

This roar attracted sideways glances on the side of the road, and someone came over and asked, "Girl, how do you sell these soybeans?" ”

"Ten pounds and one pound, a total of twenty pounds." When business came, Lu Qingcao also softened.

The woman looks middle-aged, carrying a cloth bag around her waist, and she looks like she is not bad for money.

She shook her head and smacked her lips: "It's too expensive, and it's not a golden bean, ten cents a catty!" ”

Seeing that she was leaving, Lu Qingcao hurriedly stopped her and whispered: "Sister, the price can be negotiated, how much pound do you give?" ”

The eldest sister reached out and picked up a handful of beans, put them in the sun and looked at them: "The beans are good, there is no scum, you can give Sanwen a catty." ”

Sanwen?

Twenty pounds of beans is only sixty dollars!

It's not a good deal at all.

"It's too cheap, at least eight cents." Lu Qingcao shook his head.

Shuangfa bargained, and finally sold for five cents and one catty.

Lu Qingcao took the heavy hundred texts, and his heart blossomed.

This is her first pot of gold.

The woman also carried the beans and walked away: "Big sister, next time you have such good beans, you will bring them, you will receive as many as you want, and the people in the town will like this." ”

In front of the meat stall, Lu Qingcao looked at the pork for twenty wen and a pound and made a difficulty.

For a family of five, buying a pound is not enough to stuff her teeth, and she also wants to make new clothes for the children.

That's a stretch of money.

"Mother, look." Su Erli squatted on the side of the road, looking at Lu Qingcao with surprise in her eyes.

The man on the side of the road put a chicken coop in front of it, and there were dozens of chicks in it.

The tender yellow chick chirped and fluttered up and down in the coop.

Su Erli's fingers reached through the cage eye, and the chick thought it was food, and pecked it lightly, making her giggle.

"Boss, how do you sell chickens?" Lu Qingcao changed his mind.

"Twenty wen apiece, you can buy more cheaper." The man is also a farmer, with a simple face and teasing words and deeds, and he has no business after standing here all morning.

Lu Qingcao cut the price without reluctance: "Fifty-three are not sold?" ”

The man hesitated.

"Don't sell it." She was gesturing to leave.

The man immediately agreed: "Sell, sell, you choose three." The chicken boy is squeamish, he has been in the sun all morning, and then he pulls it back, and it is estimated that he will not survive, so it is better to sell it to you, and it can be regarded as saving a few lives. ”

He helped select three sturdy chicks.

In the small bamboo cage, the chickens are not panicked, and they are chattering non-stop.

Lu Erli held it like a baby, and the three of them talked and laughed and went home.
