After an autumn rain, the breath of autumn became stronger. The water by the river gradually cooled down, and the leaves on Daqing Mountain began to turn yellow. Only the inconspicuous wild chrysanthemums on the roadside were still tenaciously exuding their fragrance. At this time, the fields were busy.
People are the happiest, and the elderly all smile with wrinkles on their faces. That’s right, the bundles of rice brought home, and the fat frames of fruits, all tell people that even if the snowstorm prevents spring sowing,
Although we are slow, the energy we put into the fields has not been in vain. In the next year, we will not have to worry about food and drink. How can we not be happy about this!
The joyful and lively autumn harvest outside has little to do with the Yuezhen family. When the family was separated, they did not ask for any land, so naturally they had no land to work on. Originally, according to their past practice, they should give the old house
They went there to help, but the people at the old house didn’t know the reason and didn’t even send a message. Li Sanzhi was completely heartbroken because of the indifference at the old house during the few months of moving, so he felt cold.
Under the guise of recuperating, she continued to hide in the backyard doing carpentry work. Mrs. Liu also excused herself to take care of Li Sanzhi and rarely went out to avoid outsiders gossiping. On the contrary, Erlang and the three brothers went to the old house to help during the busy farm vacation.
The autumn harvest was over and received unanimous praise from the villagers.
Yuezhen continued to be like a little bee, following Huzi up the mountain all day long. In the past few months, she and Huzi were able to talk, and she found that Huzi had no idea where there were wild fruits and vegetables on the mountain.
As the food became more familiar, she would not hesitate to drag her "half-best friend" Taohua up the mountain with Huzi, and the harvest would be even better.
"Yueyue, can you sell your thorn balls (also known as chestnuts now)?" Huzi asked when they were going down the mountain. Taohua didn't come because she had something to do at home today. Qilang and Jiulang stayed at home to help Liu collect vegetables and reserve winter grain.
Only Yuezhen insisted on going up the mountain because she wanted to get more things out of space.
"Do you know anyone who accepts it?" Yue Zhen raised her arms and wiped the sweat on her face with her sleeves, looking up and asking. Her face, which was sunburned red by the autumn sun, had already been stained with a lot of dirt due to carelessness while busy.
mud.
"Yes." Huzi nodded, picking up the dirt around his feet. His mother used to take him to sell thorn balls, but his mother has been sick these days and has a cough. He really doesn't feel comfortable letting her go.
His mother walked dozens of miles with a big basket of thorn balls on her back. So she wanted to go by herself, but no one had ever been there. The little kid was scared and couldn't express it, so he had to find someone for himself.
Go with you.
"I think I should sell it. I still have a lot at home. I'll go back and ask." Yuezhen took out a lot from the space, and the family had more than they could eat, so she was willing. "I just don't know what the price is?"
"Well, it's pretty good. Last year, my mother sold it for eight cents per catty. But it has to be dried in the sun first and the thorny shell on the outside is removed before anyone can accept it."
"Oh." Yuezhen nodded. It's not bad to be able to sell wild fruits with no capital in the mountains at this price. However, thinking about the sugar-fried chestnuts sold for more than ten and twenty-one kilograms in the previous life, she couldn't help but feel that this price was too much.
The two talked as they walked and slowly went down the mountain. After Yue Zhen knew that Hu Zi planned to go to the town to sell thorn balls, she was also a little ready to make a move. She has been thinking about how to start a business these days. But after thinking about it, she can
The only thing she could show off was her cooking skills. But Madam Liu felt sorry for her and was afraid that one of her would be accidentally burned while cooking at a young age. She was not even allowed to hold the spatula, so how could she say that she was an excellent cook at once?
So, Yuezhen has been thinking about going to the town and the county to look for some ways to make money, but she also knows that if she and Huzi are the only ones selling thorn balls, what if they encounter dangers?
He said that it was difficult to go through the test at home.
After saying goodbye to Huzi, Yuezhen entered the house.
"Mom, I'm back!"
"You're not exhausted, are you? In the past few days, the autumn tiger has been in charge, and the sun has been very hot. You said you are so young, why are you like the Ba family? There are already so many thorn balls in the house, and you still have to follow Hu Zi.
,I don’t know why I have so many things,” Ms. Liu thought, looking at her daughter’s sunburned face and feeling heartbroken.
"Mom, I have a thirsty mouth. Brother Hu Zi said, someone in town collects these thorn balls for eight cents a pound. Let's sell some. There are so many and we can't finish them all."
Mrs. Liu hurriedly gave her daughter a bowl of water and said: "Really, the price is pretty good. There are so many of these on the mountain, and no one cares about them. In the past, it was only the rich families who paid for them. How could anyone be willing to spend such a good price?"
Collect the price, I'll pick some tomorrow, and I can sell more to help support the family." These days, the family can only go out and not go in. Although the money is enough, Mrs. Liu is also a little anxious. Besides, she also plans to wait until after the autumn harvest.
How many acres of land do you want to buy?
"Okay, I'll carry some more when Mom goes away." Yuezhen took the bowl of "Gulu" and ate most of it in one gulp.
In the next few days, Mrs. Liu also went up the mountain and delivered them to her home twice a day. They had basically picked all the thorn balls growing on the mountain. After the thorn balls were dried and processed, Mrs. Liu
Carrying a large basket of thorn balls on her back, she took Yue Zhen and Hu Zi out early in the morning. Originally, Ms. Liu wouldn't let Yue Zhen go, but she couldn't bear her insistence, so she had to agree.
Yue Zhen carried the small basket specially made for her by Li Sanzhi and walked happily towards the town with Mrs. Liu. It was fine at first, but gradually she couldn't stand it anymore. Her legs felt as heavy as lead.
As they couldn't find the road, they gradually fell behind. But looking at Liu and Huzi, who were carrying a bigger basket of thorn balls on their backs and kept walking without stopping, without feeling tired at all, they couldn't help but despise themselves for being so fragile and weak.
The steps he took took longer, and he followed the person in front of him closely.
Because we set off early, it was bright when we arrived in the town. There were constant shouts and shouts on the streets, and various people selling snacks and gadgets were selling their wares to passers-by with flattering smiles. Liu was familiar with the roads.
I took my two children to a snack shop.
"It's still early, let's eat something first!"
"No need, San Auntie, I've eaten it since I got up early!" Huzi refused to go in smelling the aroma coming from the snack shop, swallowed his saliva and said sensibly, his mother didn't give him any coins when he went out, he didn't want to
It's embarrassing to spend someone else's money.
"After walking such a long way, I'm already hungry even after eating. Come on, come on, I'm going in with my aunt to have a bowl of wontons today. It's delicious. It's a thank you to my third aunt for telling you about the opportunity to make money.
Me." Mrs. Liu smiled and pulled Huzi in and sat down. She knew what Huzi was thinking.
"That's right, if I sell the thorn balls later, mother will give me a few more coins to buy candied haws, otherwise, I won't quit next time." Yue Zhen said with a genuine smile.
As soon as the attentive waiter saw the three of them sitting down, he came over and asked, "Sir, what do you want to eat?"
"Bring us three bowls of wontons."
After a while, three large bowls of wontons arrived. The wontons had thin skin and thick fillings, and the color of the soup was clear. Some green onions were sprinkled on it, which made people drool. Yue Zhen took a bite, and her big eyes were filled with laughter.
I couldn't help but squint with satisfaction. Who said that the cooking skills of the ancients must have been poor? Sometimes the food is really delicious when it is paired with original flavors!
Huzi had never eaten outside before, so he ate the delicious wontons. He looked calm, but he was very grateful in his heart. He had been looked down upon by others since he was a child, so how could he, who knew how to read people's eyes, not know what the mother and daughter said?
I just said it to make him feel better.
After the three of them finished eating, they quickly went to the grocery store that collected thorn balls to sell them and brought them back. Both families were serious and honest in their work. The thorn balls were handled well and the boss happily accepted them.
, and also said: For the same goods, he will charge as much as he has.
I finally came to the town, and it happened to be market day, so I didn't want to go back. There were a lot of things missing at home, and Mrs. Liu had to buy them one by one. Huzi also took his mother to embroider a house in the town.
Do the work to deliver the goods.
Yuezhen was a little tired. She had never walked dozens of miles carrying dozens of kilograms of things, so she asked Liu, "Mom, I'm a little tired. Can you find a place to rest for a while?"
, you bought something and came back to pick me up?"
"You kid, I told you a long time ago that I've been working hard and you didn't listen to me if you didn't come. You'll regret it now!" Madam Liu said angrily: "Why don't I take you to the wonton shop for a while, and then I'll come back after I buy something good?"
When I pick you up, I just need you to be obedient and don't run around, you know? There are photographers on the street, if they take you away and sell you, you will never see my mother again."
Yue Zhen nodded quickly, and Mrs. Liu took Yue Zhen to the previous snack shop, bought a few steamed buns, and ordered a bowl of radish bone soup. Mrs. Liu entrusted Yue Zhen to the owner of the shop to watch.
He warned her several times before leaving with Hu Zi.
Carrot bone soup is a bit greasy. The food made by the ancients is a bit bad, especially in rural areas. Maybe they eat less oil on weekdays and like meat and fat. This bone soup is greasy and not like
In previous lives, the oil in bone soup was usually filtered out. Yuezhen was a little disgusted, but she still couldn't bear to waste what she spent money on, so she drank it slowly and slowly.
Mrs. Liu didn't come for a long time, and Yue Zhen couldn't help but feel a little bored. She looked left and right, her round eyes looked very lively, and her white, tender and rosy face was round and cute.
"Is there anyone here?" The male voice in the voice-changing stage was a little hoarse and sharp.
"Um, there's no one there." Yuezhen looked up and saw what a pretty young lady, with red lips and white teeth, a face as beautiful as jade, and upturned red and phoenix eyes. How many rotten girls had been following her in her previous life! However, this aristocratic look couldn't hide it.
How could a young man enter such a small shop? Does he know that the food in this shop is delicious?
How did Yuezhen know that this young man from the Qiao family was called Qin Haoyu. He had met her before. The boy and guard who were waiting for her to find out the news were bored. They had been observing her for a while, watching her frown.
After drinking the soup, my eyebrows moved around restlessly, and my bun face became bulging. The more I looked at it, the more interesting it became. I couldn't help but come in.
Qin Haoyu poked Yuezhen's face and asked, "What's your name? Can you come to my house and be a maid?"
Yue Zhen was about to scream "brainless" when she saw the other person's frightened and stunned face, and then lost consciousness. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, and your support
