At more than eight o'clock in the morning, the black calf was full, but Liu Xing didn't see the thin figure of the melon seed by the river.

I thought that the melon seeds had forgotten the previous agreement to pick wild strawberries by the river, and when they were about to lead the black calf back to the cattle pen, on the ridge on the other side of the river, there was a sweet and glutinous cry of melon seeds: "Brother, brother...... Nest here!"

"You girl, why did you go, why did you come so late?" Liu Xing turned his head to look at the melon seeds carrying the woven bag, and couldn't help but ask.

"Don't mention it, the woven bags of the nest were almost confiscated by Old Man Wang. The melon seed quickly ran towards Liu Xing, with anger in his big eyes: "He said that I stole his pigweed, which is really unreasonable." ”

"Then how did you escape in the end?" Liu Xing took the woven bag distressedly and put it beside the black calf.

In saltpeter village, most of the villagers have pigs in their homes.

Therefore, the pigweed on the ridge is generally not allowed to be picked indiscriminately.

Once discovered, it is a trivial matter to be confiscated, and sometimes he will be scolded, as a person who has come over, it is very clear.

"Hey...... Wo hit the old man Wang with a stone. The melon seed raised her little head and laughed slyly, she was afraid that Liu Xing would scold her, so she hurriedly added: "But I didn't hit it, but I was scared, so I took the opportunity to run away." ”

"Not next time. Liu Xing reached out and touched the little head of the melon seeds.

"Uh-huh. The melon seed nodded obediently.

"Don't say anything, go down to the river to pick wild strawberries. Liu Xing took the black calf, and after explaining that the melon seeds stood on the bank of the river and did not walk around, he rolled up his trousers and sat on the black calf.

The water is in a hurry~!

Because it was morning, Liu Xing, who was soaking his legs, felt a biting cold.

But he didn't care at all, but tightened the leash and directed the black calf towards the wild strawberries on the riverbank.

Wild strawberries are wild fruits that ripen for several months because they are vines. In rural areas, it can be eaten from the end of March to the beginning of July of the solar calendar.

However, not all ripe wild strawberries can be picked and eaten into the stomach, some of them are crawled by snakes or caterpillars, do not pick, this is not a joke, once eaten by mistake, the light will be diarrhea, and the heavy will be poisoned.

In rural areas, there are not a few people who get sick every year because of eating poisonous wild strawberries.

However, Liu Xing is a reborn person, so he will not make such a mistake.

When he saw wild strawberries of the wrong color or mutilation, he basically didn't touch them.

Only those wild strawberries that are full of grains and bright red are picked.

That is, in ten minutes, the two pockets on the clothes were full.

Liu Xing did not continue, but tightened the bull rope and let the black calf take him ashore.

Seeing this, the melon seeds hurriedly greeted him, and happily stretched out his hands.

Liu Xing smiled and gave all the wild strawberries in his pocket to the melon seeds: "It's almost nine o'clock, let's go back and feed the pigs!"

"Uh-huh!" melon seeds nodded indistinctly as they ate wild strawberries.

Liu Xing put a woven bag of pigweed on the back of the black calf, and after taking a look at the surrounding environment, he led the melon seeds in the direction of home.

On the way, he paid special attention to the plants on both sides of the river.

Seeing large patches of flowering shallots and tender wild celery, I had a plan to make money.

But then he got a little discouraged.

Because in the 80s, shallots and wild celery were everywhere.

If you want to sell it at the market, I'm afraid it's simply impossible.

If you don't know it, you will be laughed to death by other villagers.

This is not a joke, but a fact.

Wild vegetables such as shallots and wild celery will only sell at a price after a few decades, and now it is 1982, so I am afraid that I can't even think about it.

"Huh?" Liu Xing, who was holding the black calf, suddenly stopped, attracted by the large emerald green on the riverside not far away.

This emerald green thing is nothing else, but lotus leaves.

He took over the entire riverbank, and it spread to other places.

Looking at the area, there must be at least a dozen acres of land.

Below these dozen acres of land.

You don't have to think about it, there are a lot of lotus roots.

Because it grows on the banks of the river, no one wants to pick it.

The reason for this is that in addition to the deep silt on the riverside, the lotus root is difficult to dig and cannot be bought at the market, and few people are willing to buy it.

But Liu Xing doesn't think so.

No one buys it in the bazaar, so can't he take it to the market and sell it?

Anyway, the distance to the market is not much different from the distance to the city.

I just don't know if the vegetable market in my memory is open.

If it hadn't been opened, it would have to be sold from house to house.

But it's better than selling it at the market.

Because in the eighties, the people who rushed to the market were all peasants, and there were not many workers.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing smiled self-deprecatingly.

I thought I could use the experience of rebirth to quickly turn the situation around the family.

Now it seems that there are too many constraints of the times, and in order to succeed, I am afraid that we must have a deep understanding of the current situation.

In other words, I'm going to go to the city tomorrow anyway.

Even if things in the countryside can't be sold, he has to go to the city to investigate the market.

As long as the market is determined, you know which goods are in demand.

Then it will be easy to make money next.

After the decision was made, Liu Xing was not thinking nonsense.

Instead, the pace of going home was accelerated.

After closing the cattle and feeding the pigs, he immediately came to the riverside with a basket and a wooden barrel.

The melon seed was originally going to accompany his father at home, but when he saw Liu Xing's 'big move', he hurriedly sneaked out.

Liu Xing had already discovered this scene, and he didn't stop him when he was stunned, but acquiesced to the follower of the melon seeds.

After putting down the dustpan and the barrel, he rolled up his trousers and walked into the lotus leaves by the river.

I thought that the mud under my feet would be very deep, but when I stepped on it, I realized that it was very shallow, and it was not even the height of my feet.

At this time, Liu Xing was relieved, and was about to bend down to dig the lotus root, but the next second he was stunned, only to see that around the lotus rod, there were many field snails densely adsorbed.

The river snail is a good material for making snails, and a copy can sell for dozens of dollars in a few decades!

In the eighties, though, the snail may not be worth much.

Because in memory, no one made snails to sell in '82.

But Liu Xing can't manage so much, even if these river screws are not valuable, they can add a dish when they are touched, and eating sweet potatoes every day is not a thing.

Just do it when you think of it, Liu Xing, who rolled up his sleeves, bent down and touched the conch.

In just ten minutes, the barrel was full.

Liu Xing, who had no choice, had to carry the wooden barrel and laboriously went ashore, poured the river snail into the basket, and then continued to walk down the river bank and touched it.

In a puddle, he was pleasantly surprised to find a nest of river crabs.

The big ones are about to be the size of a palm, in order to prevent them from escaping.

Liu Xing hurriedly surrounded the puddle with soil.

A ...... Two ...... Three ...... Four ......

In just a few moments, there were more than 20 river crabs in the barrel.

The melon seeds on the shore saw this scene and cheered excitedly: "Brother, brother...... Is it another meal at noon?"

"Hmm. Liu Xing looked up and smiled at the melon seeds.

At home, I must eat sweet potatoes at noon, as for vegetables, except for cabbage, the others are still vegetable seedlings, even if they are not vegetable seedlings, under the cooking without vegetable oil, it is also tasteless, so don't want to eat a good meal at all.

And now there is a river crab, wash it and put it in the pot to cook, it will definitely be a full meal, although it is not as delicious as pork, but it is already a good meat dish.

But the only fly in the ointment is that it's spring, not the best season to eat river crabs, if it's autumn, cook a few river crabs with a glass of wine, the taste is simply amazing.

"Brother, the nest also has to catch the 'fat girl'. The melon seeds on the shore saw Liu Xing catch the river crab and grabbed it accurately, and suddenly felt itchy in his heart, and without waiting for Liu Xing to agree, he rolled up his trousers and carefully walked into the lotus leaf.

Fat Obedient belongs to the dialect, and in saltpeter village it means crab.

Liu Xing is an authentic saltpeter villager, so he naturally understands.

However, he was very annoyed by the actions of the melon seeds.

was about to try to get the melon seeds ashore, but the next second he heard the screams of the melon seeds.
