Chapter 22 Pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and make a fortune
Xu Minghua looked at the half-length cuttings and said, "Sister, doesn't it take a long time for these seedlings to grow roots?"
"No, they will definitely grow into a wall before the vegetables grow."
If Xu Zishan wanted to make these vines grow faster, it would only take a minute, but the vegetable fields were under everyone's nose, so she always had to pretend to be normal in front of the villagers.
After planting the rattan fence, Xu Minghua volunteered to take a bucket to fetch water from the nearby pond to irrigate the ground. He also told Xu Zishan: "Sister, you sit down while I fetch water. I am very energetic."
Xu Zishan is so unmotivated, asking her to fetch water from the pond? Well, it will cost her her life!
While Xu Minghua went to fetch water to irrigate the ground, she said to Xu Minghua: "Xiaohua, let me go and take a look."
"Sister, don't go too far, there are wolves on the mountain."
"OK."
Farming is busy now, and there is no one on the mountain. Xu Zishan follows the stream, finds a quiet and cool place, and quickly transfers seeds from the space.
She wants to save food and vegetables.
Nowadays, food is the main food. All kinds of coarse and fine grains can fill the stomach, but vegetables are really in short supply.
At the food station in Baodu City, citizens queue up to grab food every day, which becomes a spectacular sight. Zhang Yingai often puts her vegetable basket at the food station early in the morning and queues up. She goes home to make breakfast first, and then goes over after breakfast is done. She often queues at the number of more than 1,000 people.
outside.
It’s not about what food you want to eat today, but whether you can get the food and what kind of food you can get.
As long as the food comes, no matter what kind it is, just grab it! If you can grab it, you win.
People can't do it without eating grains, and they can't do it without eating vegetables.
The Xu family was too poor, and she was too poor to do business openly and openly. She had to take the time to take a trip to the Xipu District of Baodu City. The Kite Street next to the Chenghuang Temple was a famous black market, and she wanted to spend some money.
Now she needs to save some supplies.
She turned out dozens of steamed bun-sized rice seeds and vegetable seeds and threw them on the ground. Soon, the seeds took root, sprouted, and grew up, and each of them grew into a strong shooter.
She quickly put the sack on the rice shooter's head and fired other vegetables as she pleased, as the rice would not stick to the soil when it fell to the ground.
Rice Shooter: ...Mom, I was put in a black sack!
While harvesting fruits, new seeds continue to grow.
After the rice is harvested, it is moved to the space, and the vegetables are also sorted and moved to the storage yard.
After working for more than half an hour, Xu Minghua estimated that she was about to finish watering the ground. She stopped planting and took stock of the space. She had collected 5 large bags of rice, and other vegetables such as peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, beans, Shanghai greens... about two
There are more than ten kinds of vegetables, and more than 500 kilograms are piled in each storage yard.
Space and time seem to be at rest. What it was like when it was put in, it will be like when it comes out.
"I wonder if people can live forever in this kind of space?" She thought to herself. If she stayed there for 50 years, she would still be 18 years old when she came out...
Hehe, I’m going to become the Tianshan Child Grandmother.
Grains and vegetables can't be given to the Xu family now, but fruits can always be done!
The plants grown from the second-generation plant seeds were normal plants. She took out a second-generation bayberry seed from the space, found a creek on a slope facing the sun, and threw it down.
Sprinkle it with spiritual spring liquid and watch it quickly take root and sprout, growing into a tall bayberry tree in about ten minutes.
Bloom, bear fruit, mature!
June is the season for eating bayberry. Southerners love to eat bayberry, just as Lingnan people love to eat lychee.
The trees are full of purple red bayberries, each one the size of a table tennis ball. The bayberries are so sweet that wild bees and small mosquitoes and flies immediately buzz after them.
Xu Zishan picked one, and the sweet juice filled his entire mouth with a sweet and sour taste. He was satisfied and happy.
"Sister, where are you?"
Xu Minghua had already poured water, but he didn't see her coming back for a long time. He became anxious and went up the mountain to look for her.
Xu Zishan immediately responded: "Xiaohua, come and see, come on."
Xu Minghua is a child from the mountains and is used to being wild. He crawled over from the weeds. Xu Zishan waved to him, pointed to the bayberry tree and said, "Look, I found a bayberry tree."
Xu Minghua looked at the bayberry tree hidden among the trees on the water bank, roared, and rushed towards it.
He walked around the tree and said excitedly: "Sister, how did you find it? I have never seen such a big and purple bayberry."
Not to mention the wild ones, they are grown by the production team in the village next door. How could they be so good!
Xu Zishan whispered: "Stop yelling and find a way to get these bayberries home. If others see them, they will be confiscated, right?"
Definitely! Xu Minghua immediately said: "Sister, you wait, I will call grandma and mother to pick it."
Grandma Xu was driven home by Grandpa Xu to cook. When she saw Xu Minghua running back like a gust of wind, his face was sweating profusely and his eyes were shining.
"Xiaohua, why are you running so fast? Where is your sister?"
"Grandma, my sister found a bayberry tree on the mountain. There are many bayberries on it, and it's really big."
Xu Minghua suppressed his excitement and said "big" several times in one breath, gesturing with his hands.
Xue Aimei had already finished work and was fanning the cattail leaf fan at home while waiting for dinner. Seeing what Xu Minghua said, she cursed: "Why aren't you bigger than the painted pot lid? How can there be such a big bayberry!"
Xu Minghua became anxious and said, "Don't you believe it? If you don't believe it, go and see for yourself. My sister told you to take a big basket and pick it."
Seeing that he was in a hurry and even moved Xu Zishan out, Xu Yingting and the others did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately took a basket and prepared to pick it.
"No, one basket is not enough. You have to bring all the rice baskets at home." Xu Minghua said, "My sister said that if you finish picking them all, if others see them later, they will definitely grab them."
Xu Yingting said in a deep voice: "Why are you making such a fuss? How many fruits can a wild bayberry tree bear? One basket is enough."
Xu Minghua was about to burst into tears and begged: "Dad, can you believe me just once? I really didn't lie."
Grandma Xu was soft-hearted and said, "Don't cry, Yingting. You have to carry all the baskets with you. It won't take much effort to go back and forth to pick them out."
When Grandma Xu and the others came to the mountain and saw the densely packed bayberry tree, they really believed what Xu Minghua said.
That bayberry tree is full of huge purple fruits.
Grandma Xu murmured: "Isn't this the Yangmei from Dong'ao that came to Ta'ao?"
Legend has it that there is a bayberry tree in Dong'ao, Taizhou. It is hundreds of years old and the bayberries it bears are bigger than table tennis balls. However, the yield is extremely low, only ten or twenty pounds per year. Even if you have money, you can't buy it.
"Grandma, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Xu Minghua finally felt proud for once.
The uncle and aunt were so excited that they could not speak. They asked Xu Minghua to let him go, and they picked the fruits carefully and quickly.
From this bayberry tree, ten baskets of bayberries were picked.
They covered it with fresh grass, secretly picked it back home, and filled it up in the main room.
The uncle and aunt looked at Yang Mei with longing in their eyes. None of them wanted to hand it in, and Xu Zishan naturally didn't want to hand it in either. She hesitated for a long time, but if she really handed it in, she would vomit blood.
Grandpa Xu smoked a cigarette and said, "This is the bayberry discovered by Shanshan. Shanshan has the final say on how to deal with it."
"Yes, yes, Shanshan, we will handle it how you say!"
Xu Zishan was very satisfied and said: "We took out a basket of bayberries to eat at home and sold the rest."
"Do the villagers want a share?" Grandma Xu asked.
"No matter what, no one will tell." Xu Zishan said, "Pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, keep your hair and make a fortune, and don't make a big pot of rice."
What is the human heart? Xu Zishan understands it very well. He is not worried about quantity but about inequality!!
