There seems to be a group of crows flying across the sky in pairs, quack quack...
I don't know how much time passed, but I heard a muffled grunt. Mrs. Cao, who was lying on the ground, raised her hands and raised her nose, as if she felt something was wrong.
Open your eyes wide and look at the pile of things that have been compressed and deformed. One breath, two breaths, three...
"ah!"
After realizing what had happened to her face, Mrs. Cao knelt down and jumped up, rushing towards the river ditch below in one breath. Regardless of the cold weather and the ice, she splashed the water straight on her face.
call.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Mrs. Cao gasped for air, turned around and rushed towards the Song family to settle the score with the culprit.
But before I could take two steps, I felt the pain in my chest that had been kicked so much. I had been delayed by the sheep dung just now, so I didn't even notice it.
It really hurts her to death!
Mrs. Cao covered her chest and rushed back angrily. She entered the yard and grabbed a bamboo stick leaning against the fence. She came up and hit Aling, "I'll beat you to death, you wild girl. You dare to kick me!"
But Aling was none other than someone else. Could he have just stood there and beaten her?
His body had swayed a long time ago, knocking off Mrs. Cao's attack. When he focused his eyes and found the person again and swung at him, the person had changed places again.
After going back and forth, Mrs. Cao was so tired that she gasped for air and could no longer stand still, but she was not close to Aling's side yet.
She couldn't hit anyone and couldn't bring out the bad breath. Mrs. Cao was in so much pain that she couldn't help it. She glared at Song Qiu and said, "This girl is from your family. I'll pay you for hitting someone! She kicked me. My chest hurts so much. I'm afraid."
They all suffered internal injuries from the kick, I don’t care, you have to pay me for the medicine!”
It is not unreasonable to hit someone to pay for money. It is not wrong for Mrs. Cao to want to steal the money at first, but it is not wrong to get Aling's kick and hit the sheep dung in vain.
Song Qiu nodded, "How much do you want for the medicine?"
When Mrs. Cao saw that Song Qiu was so easy to talk, her eyes bulged, and then she covered her chest with a look of pain and weakness on her face, "I'm old, this kick will kill half of my life. If I don't take some ginseng tonic,
But if you can’t make up for it, we are all from the same village, so I won’t argue with you, just pay me for a ginseng root!”
"A stick of ginseng? How much money is that?"
Mrs. Cao didn't know either. She only knew that ginseng was very expensive and not something people like them could afford. One ginseng cost dozens of taels, right?
Then he raised three fingers and said, "Thirty taels! I want thirty taels. If it's not big enough, I'll buy half a stick!"
Song Qiu listened and couldn't help but look at Aling.
Aling shook his head: It's just that the kick looked scary, I didn't use my internal strength! There was absolutely no internal injury from the kick, at most it was just a bruise on the skin. Eat ginseng? It's enough to make up for her death. You don't treat the little girl as a human being.
It’s an old thing to see, it’s better if I don’t covertly put a sack on her!
Song Qiu:......
She had an idea in her mind and looked at Granny Cao and said, "How can we just pay the money back like this? What if something goes wrong? It's better to have a doctor look at it immediately."
With that said, he hurriedly called Lihua: "Go to the village chief's house quickly and ask Uncle Mingde to come over and take a look."
Mrs. Cao knew what was going on with her. She was in a little pain, but she could still bear it, so it probably wouldn't be a big deal. If Mingde was called to see her and said she was fine, why would she need thirty taels?
silver?
If you are busy, you have to stop Lihua and not let her go.
But Zhang Zaohua over there was as slippery as a rabbit, rushing out in two steps.
Soon, Tang Mingde followed.
Zhang Zaohua was there, and there were many villagers who came with him.
I heard that Granny Cao had been kicked, so everyone came to watch the fun.
Mrs. Cao didn't want to show it to Tang Mingde, so she hid again and again. She just said: "Look at whatever you want to see. If you don't want to see it, just give me some herbs and rub it on. I don't want to pay so much, one hundred
Do you have to pay some money?"
Everyone looked at how she was jumping, so how could they not know that she was probably fine?
In the end, Song Qiu just grabbed five coins and gave her to her. Do you want it? Although my family kicked you, who told you to try to steal the money box? You deserve it.
Mrs. Cao cursed and had nothing to do with Song Qiu, so she had to grab the five copper coins and go back.
When I go back, I see a few baskets of radishes still lying in the yard. How do I clean them up?
Just thinking about it made me angry all over, and when I dragged the broom, I wanted to teach Xiaocao a lesson.
"If you were more careless and delivered two more baskets in one trip, I wouldn't have to lose the carrots! They all delivered them in one trip, but you were better off. You were running around for most of the afternoon! You just sold me five cents.
money!"
"It's fine now. There are so many radishes! How about stacking them?"
Xiaocao also felt that she was too late, so she didn't dare to hide when she was hit. She was beaten all over again, but she was still thinking in her heart that this small spanking was relatively light compared to the beatings her parents had given her at home.
, she can bear it.
But Cao Daqiao, who was calmly holding a brazier and warming himself by the fire, saw Xiaocao being beaten and said, "Mom, you broke her and you planned to buy me another one?"
As soon as Mrs. Cao heard this, her hands stopped unconsciously. Yes, buy it after breaking it? She doesn't have that much money.
If it was broken, she would have to spend money to buy medicine, which she was not willing to part with.
Then he cursed and retracted his hand, and shouted to Xiaocao to hurry up and make dinner. She felt a lot of pain in her chest and had to lie down and rest.
Xiaocao only received a few blows and didn't feel any pain at all. She looked at Cao Daqiao with gratitude in her eyes, thinking that her mother would ask her father every time she cooked, so she cautiously moved closer and said, "Mr... Mr.
What do you want to eat?"
A little girl who is a little over six years old and a little older timidly shouts "Ms. Mister". If anyone else is listening, it will definitely be very funny.
But Cao Daqiao didn't know what he was thinking, but his eyes were gentle and tight, "You can do whatever you want. There is meat in the kitchen. Cook more. Your body is too thin. You need to replenish it."
Only then there is meat.
Xiaocao felt even happier after hearing this, nodded and went away.
…
The whole village's radishes were collected at once, and there were quite a lot of them. Early the next morning, except for Miao who had to guard the bacon for smoking, Lao Deng and Lao Yuan started cutting up radish cubes.
Even Zhang Zaohua helped cut it with a knife in a decent manner.
Song Qiu also cut it all morning, and then went to the inn with the mixed dried radish.
The radish is cheap to harvest. It costs at least 100 kilograms for five cents. When you make dried radish, you can remove all the skin and water, and only about 15 kilograms are left.
Song Qiu made a rough estimate of the seasonings required for about ten kilograms, and then set a price for the dried radish.
It's not expensive, only two pennies per oil paper bag, which is estimated to be about half a catty.
In this way, one pound can be sold for four cents.
Fifteen kilograms can get you sixty coins.
Apart from the cost of five cents, seasonings and oil paper, she still made a lot of money.
You don’t want to make a big profit, but you can make a small amount of money.
Song Qiu set the price, and took advantage of the time to weigh the dried radish in packages with Lihua and package them. Then he put some in the tea shed and the specialty shed selling hot and sour rice noodles sets, and waited.
If there are customers, we will sell them together.
Every day, many people packed up steamed buns as dry food in the tea shed. Yuan Hua and his wife took advantage of the opportunity to sell them and asked people to taste them. At the end of the day, they really sold a lot.
Song Qiu looked at it and felt relieved about the carrot business. He continued to do it one after another, and he didn't ask for more, just enough to sell.
