The woman smiled shyly, "It's been washed. It's not for sale. It's just like selling vegetables. Washing it a little better will make it look better. Auntie, you can save it without worry, right?"
This is true, I think about it for the buyer.
But Song Qiu looked at the sweet potato skin and saw that it had not only been washed, but had probably been soaked in water for at least one night.
I don’t know if this family really wants to do the best for the buyer, or if it’s something else.
But sweet potatoes have been soaked in water and have too much water, so they will be heavier no matter what.
Song Qiu took a closer look at the woman and saw that she was smiling, and she looked a little embarrassed and shy. He couldn't tell anything, but the man next to the woman kept grabbing the corner of his clothes and using his peripheral vision when the woman was talking.
Looking at her breasts secretly, her reaction seemed a little awkward.
Before Song Qiu could say anything, Old Yuan had already started talking, "These sweet potatoes look clean after being washed. The ones that have been soaked in water are heavier than the ones that have not been soaked in water. If they weigh one pound or two pounds, I won't tell you."
Yes, you have a lot. Two loads, at least two or three stones, is a lot."
When the woman heard this, her face was stunned. She obviously didn't expect it, or she didn't think there would be any problem if she did.
Then he continued: "Oh, I just wanted to clean it up and look good, but I never thought about this. Auntie, we came all the way to pick this one. Look at this..." How about weighing it?
You don’t care about the point, right?
"Why don't you move back first and spread out to bask in the sun? The sun is good today, and I'll give it to you in the end." Old Yuan directly interrupted the woman before she finished speaking.
When the woman heard that they had to be weighed last and all the hard work had to be done, she was immediately unhappy. She had managed to squeeze in at the front, so what if she was asked to go to the back?
"Auntie, we set out from home early in the morning and walked more than ten miles. We are tired and hungry. If you ask us to wait, how long will it take? There are still children at home waiting for us to come home.
Well, do you think you can pass ours first? It's okay if you lose a pound or two."
These two picks are more than just one or two pounds.
Lao Yuan frowned. With so many people watching, it was hard to lose face and tell her frankly.
But you want her to suffer this loss? That's not possible. Even a copper coin is earned by her granddaughter!
Just as he was about to speak, a woman at the back laughed and shouted, "I mean from the Bupleurum family! I told you that you and your wife had been bathing all afternoon yesterday, so your hard work has been in vain now. Oh God!"
When it lights up, fish it out from the water basin, and pick it up while it is still dripping. It doesn't break your little body! It's so good now, people are no better than you, so why bother, it's all your fault! I said no
Why don't you delay us guys? Hurry up and start driving. Whose family is not in trouble?"
When the woman in front heard this, she looked a little unhappy. She was from the same village as this woman, so she didn't deal with him at first, so she started to curse back.
Another man in the queue said: "Who knows who you are? You are so diligent and willing to plan for the buyer? Isn't it just to get more weight in the water? Otherwise, why are you two willing to spend more money?"
I soaked the sweet potatoes again and again with my strength!"
"Now that people are unwilling to take yours first, it's not that they won't take it. I say go back and dig it out to dry it. Otherwise, they won't take it right away. I'll watch you and your wife cry slowly!"
The woman was shocked by the truth. Seeing that everyone was staring at her, even the people in Songshan Village were pointing fingers, she felt shameless. She was also really afraid that the Song family would no longer accept them, so she would not
If he dared to curse again, he honestly gave up his position and went to the back.
Her man didn't say anything, blushed with embarrassment, and carried the load out of the yard honestly, found a clean field, dug out the sweet potatoes, and spread them out to dry.
The woman followed and watched the people from the same village calling each other one by one to get money, but she had to stay here to dry the sweet potatoes, cursing in her heart.
I still think that the Song family is just the grandfather and grandson, and they are so shameless that they don't care about her sweet potatoes getting into the water. How could I know that they are so picky, and they care about the weight!
In addition to this woman's bad start, the ones she passed next to her were all sweet potatoes that had been cleaned of mud and dried out.
Old Yuan was busy exaggerating, and Song Qiu was settling accounts and giving money. Zhao Anzi and Wen Shunzi, who happened to have empty buckets of sweet potatoes waiting for them to be filled, ran over to help carry the harvested sweet potatoes into the house.
Those who had emptied baskets and carried baskets came out so that they could be returned to others.
There were only about twenty families who came to this village, and nearly two hundred dan were collected. At this moment, there are only two families left.
One family is the couple who are still drying sweet potatoes, and the other is the last family.
Old Mr. Hu frowned and asked people to lift the scale without hesitation.
The first one was soaked in water and weighed more, but this one saw a lot of rotten ones in the basket without even looking through it.
A total of seven people came to this family. An old man led two men and three boys. Each of them picked up a load, some full, some more than half full. There was also an old woman carrying a basket.
Twelve baskets and a backpack contained a lot of rotten sweet potatoes.
This is an exaggeration, at least it costs seven or eight kilograms, and I don’t know how much rotten sweet potatoes are in it.
Old Yuan said: "We won't accept the rotten ones. You need to sort them out first and pick out the rotten ones before spending the rest."
When some men heard this, they looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing what to do.
But the old woman jumped out immediately, "Sister, what's wrong with this? Don't talk nonsense. Our family just dug it out of the ground and brought it here. It's only been a day or two.
Where can sweet potatoes rot? We have kept them for several months without rotting! Why are you harvesting all the sweet potatoes before and not harvesting mine? Who are you looking down on?"
Old Yuan was suddenly sprayed with saliva all over her face, and her face darkened. She knew this woman.
Last year I went to her house to deliver a baby. Her daughter-in-law gave birth to a girl who was very skinny. The old woman cursed her when she heard that. When she left her house with half a bag of beans, she heard the old woman cursing with another daughter-in-law.
, he said, don’t kill the prepared chicken, just give birth to a free girl, take whatever supplements you want, don’t lose milk, and so on.
This mother-in-law is not easy to get along with, she is talking nonsense.
"What I mean is that if these things are dug out and rotten, we won't collect them whether they are put away or dug out. If they are dug up and rotten, they will all be ruined the next day. I am not harvesting them in vain."
Already?"
The old woman was stunned for a moment, then immediately yelled out again, "Ouch! Who's digging sweet potatoes here doesn't dig up a few rotten roots? The one you collected in front of you, if you don't look carefully, which one doesn't have a few rotten roots in it? This is a digged sweet potato,
It’s not like it went bad, it’s just the same food! Why don’t you dislike it? When there is no food to eat, these are good things!”
