Seeking a more beautiful pastoral Chapter 49

Chapter 49 Uninvited guests (weak drops for powder)

Li Haixin left early. When he arrived in the town, it was only half past noon. He first went to the shopkeeper's shop to put down the dustpan and left a small altar of bamboo shoots to thank him.

Boss Wu smiled and said, "If you don't come, I'll drive to your house."

Knowing that this sour bamboo shoot was to Wu Rui's taste, Li Haixin smiled and said, "Young Master loves it. I will send fresh ones every few days. "

Wu shopkeeper thanked him with a smile.

When we arrived at Pinxiang Restaurant, the restaurant had just opened and the waiter was cleaning it inside and outside. Li Haixin explained his purpose, and he hurried to tell the news. In a short time, the shopkeeper Hu came out of the yard where he lived behind him, smiling at a distance. "Oh, I can give you an expectation. Last time, the remaining sour bamboo shoots made more than a dozen dishes. As soon as the reputation spread, people would not eat them again. "

He shook his head sadly as he spoke.

Li Haixin said with a smile, "I want to send it early, but it takes time to marinate, doesn't it?"

Hu shopkeeper motioned for the boys to carry cans and nodded repeatedly. "Yes, if you don't know this, your village will visit you this morning."

Pickled bamboo shoots are fished out of this jar and stuffed in. They also know that there is no secret recipe for pickled bamboo shoots, so they can't move the whole jar.

The shopkeeper said nonsense, Li Haixin * * sent more than 40 kilograms of bamboo shoots. According to the original agreed price, the shopkeeper paid 220 yuan.

Li Haixin is worried that if he gives more, he won't be able to sell it. Seeing that he didn't mention it, he didn't ask. It just means that bamboo shoots should not be kept in the cellar for more than five days at most. Let the shopkeeper know about Hu. I asked the date of the next delivery of bamboo shoots.

The shopkeeper thought it was a new dish and didn't know how much it could sell in a day. After thinking about it, he told Li Haixin that when bamboo shoots were used again, he would ask someone to pull them, so that he wouldn't have to run again.

Li Haixin, think about this. You don't have to send it yourself, you can save some effort.

When I got home, I gave the money for selling bamboo shoots to Lihua and asked her to count it. Looking at these bamboo shoots' money, Li Wei sighed with emotion and said, is it easy to make money? I'm risking my vest.

Holding hands, I figured that one jar of bamboo shoots could sell for two hundred and twenty dollars, and those twelve jars of bamboo shoots were almost three hanging dollars.

On the basis of last year's summer grain and autumn grain, I sold the money. In March, bamboo shoots can barely be harvested for another month. It is necessary to urge several sisters to dig more.

I just don't know how Hu's shopkeeper spends in a small restaurant. Thought of here, she was a little depressed again. She was too eager for success to ask the restaurant-Li Wei, who was carried away by money, completely forgot that she was limited by this small body and how many brain cells it would take to do it.

The day after Li Haixin sent bamboo shoots, it began to rain. This family has been busy with bamboo shoots for several days. Today, they are free. He hurried to cut some pairs of soles and asked Chuntao Chunlan for help. Li Hai found the hoe and polished it. When the rain stops, it's time to hoe the ground.

It has been raining for two or three days. When the rain is a little dry, why not hoe the ground? This is the only job at this time, so why not let the sisters work in the fields.

Shortly after He left, the shopkeeper Hu sent a man to drive the carriage to the Li family, and Chun Xinghe Li Wei recognized him. Chuntao welcomed the man into the yard and asked him how much he wanted. The waiter said 60 kg, and the shopkeeper said to marinate more bamboo shoots.

Li Wei see his face heavy, guess hu manned new dishes may be very popular.

Chuntao and Chunlan walked into the thatched cottage, fished out the bamboo shoots and packed them. The boy gave 300 yuan money and hurried away with the carriage.

Liu Chun personally experienced the process of selling bamboo shoots and was very excited. She took her elder sister and second sister to dig again.

Chuntao said that only when there are two jars at home are they empty. Dig some other places, it will make the bamboo forest full of mud.

Chun Liu refused, insisting on pulling two people together. They had no choice but to change their old clothes and a pair of sandals to dig with her.

Pickling bamboo shoots twice won't take long. Sour bamboo shoot soup, cut the bamboo shoots, dry the water on the surface, stuff them in and seal them.

After Li Wei implemented her first plan to earn money, she turned her mind to her agricultural books and small vegetable garden. Although bamboo shoots can be sold for money, they can't be sold all year round, just like her father's dustpan-they can only be made during the slack season, and the money earned is limited.

In mid-March, the business of this middle-aged Hu shopkeeper restaurant gradually improved, and the sour bamboo shoots increased from 60 kg to 80 kg every five days.

After more than half a month, the first batch of pickled bamboo shoots were all sold out, and * * * got three taels of silver and dozens of pence. He cut the meat that day and made a fried pepper with sour bamboo shoots at home. The whole family was very happy.

The second batch of pickled sour bamboo shoots has also been pickled. On this day, He talked with him again, bought several jars, and prepared to pickle them again when there were tender bamboo shoots in March.

Li Haixin still went to town at three o'clock in the afternoon, ran for two days in a row and bought twelve pot-bellied jars.

The family has been busy for two days, filling the newly bought cans. Every four rows on the east side of the main hall are spectacular.

Li Wei figured that in March, he could pickle a dozen jars with wheels. These things add up, a * * * can sell 1232 yuan, which is the harvest of the family's more than ten acres of land in two or three years except taxes and food.

He's face is crossed all day, saying that pear flower is a great hero of our family.

Li Haixin thought about what he had said before about raising a pig. Taking advantage of the gap in the evening, I built a pigsty with grass mud next to the chicken coop. On March 16, there was a party in town to send dustpans and eggs, and bought three little pigs and children back.

As soon as he got home, an unexpected visitor came to the house.

Li Haixin saw that the carriage was the one that had been following him on the road. At that time, he thought it was our village or going to Hejiabao and Xiwang Village.

Wu Rui jumped out of the carriage and walked into the yard with his head held high. He shouted at the excitement of standing next to his sisters for a while, "Why don't you go to town on March 6th?"

Li forehead. That sounds like asking her fourth sister out.

Koharu came running excitedly, and Liu Mei stood upright. "Who told you to come to my house?"

Not to mention the bitter face, he explained to He He who heard the news: "The young master has to come, and I, I can't persuade him."

Xiao He also has a headache for the child, but even Wu's manned son dare not neglect him. He said with a smile, nothing. Asked again, "Wu shopkeeper to know not to know? So far away, do you dare to take the young master around? "

Jules said with a bitter face that it was stolen.

Wu Rui proudly carried his hands back and forth in their home. Sniff, a look of "seeing your family is poor".

Chunxing is annoyed. He grabbed his arm and dragged it under the apricot tree. He shouted, "You don't want to fight, come on, fight, and then you should go."

He shouted to let go. Although the child is a boy, he is no match for Chunxing if he really wants to fight. Don't really hit people.

Chunxing groaned and let go, and the demonstrators waved their fists at him and ran to the east room.

At first, I lost my goal, but I saw a circle of people looking at me. Wu Rui felt uncomfortable and annoyed. He shouted, "I'm hungry. I want to eat." Then he sat on the long collapse under the apricot tree, his face facing east and his back to everyone.

He looked at each other and shook his head helplessly.

Jules rushed to persuade him to go home. He was beating in the air with a whip in his hand. Jules hid to one side with a bitter face. The young master was unhappy, so he went to complain to the old lady and grandfather. They were either reprimanded or sent to the woodshed.

He looked at the sky, and it was getting late, so he called to the butcher shop in the south of the village to see if there was any meat.

Chuntao came into the room and took out the gyro, hoop and slingshot that Niange played two years ago. He stood in the yard and called to him, "Master, did you have a good time?"

Wu Rui paused for a moment, turned around awkwardly, saw what Chuntao was holding, and snorted again. "I haven't played anything good, young master."

At first, Chun Liu just thought the little boy's affectation was funny. Hearing this, his face sank. He ran over, took everything in Chuntao's hand and shouted at him, "If you want to play, you won't be allowed to play."

He poked his head out of the kitchen and scolded Liu Chun. "How old are you? You are still as knowledgeable as a baby. "

Wu Rui listened to what he said and held his head higher. Liu Chun threw her things on the ground, leaned against the wall of the hut with a shovel, called peaches and pears, and went outside the yard. Koharu apricot saw it in the east room and ran out, followed it out.

Wu Rui shouted under the ceiling of the apricot tree, "Hey, what are you doing? Hey, hey, wait for me. " His voice did not fall, and the figures of several sisters had already disappeared in the bamboo forest.

He ran in a hurry.

Why don't you shout for more care in the kitchen? Don't let him fall, Chuntao replied from afar.

Wu Rui panted after them and shouted, "Why didn't you wait for me?"

Several people turned to look at him and turned their heads back.

Spring willow found tender bamboo shoots, dug them with a shovel and dug up a few. Spring peach, spring apricot and Li Wei each hold a tree and peel it. Wu Rui blushed and stamped his feet when he saw that several people ignored him.

Chuntao smiled and handed him a bamboo shoot in one hand. "You don't like sour bamboo shoots? Pickled with this. Do you peel it? " The other hand patted the stone beside him and motioned for him to sit down.

"I don't do rough work," Wu Rui shouted, his face redder.

Li Wei's little hand labored to peel bamboo shoots, thinking that this boy has always been so grumpy, and he will definitely die of diseases such as cerebral vascular rupture when he is old ~ ~ ~ After meditation, he felt that he was not kind, so he twisted his face and vomited twice.

Chunxing took the bamboo shoots and put them in front of her, humming, "If you want to peel them, you won't. Hurry back to your home. "

Wu Rui's eyes drooped, his hands rested on his hips, stared fiercely at Chunxing and shouted, "I'm not leaving."

The loud voice made the sisters stop their work and cover their ears.

He looked up at the sky proudly and was satisfied. After a long time, no one made a sound. Looking down, they are peeling bamboo shoots again.

He jumped at once and kicked the thick bamboo bowl in the jungle. The yellow bamboo leaves that fell last winter fell from the rustling and spilled all over the sisters. Chunxing looked up at him and was about to get up. Chuntao quietly pulled off her skirt, and she sat down again, still peeling bamboo shoots.

When Xiao Sijie got up to argue with Wu Rui, Li Wei didn't miss his fake smile, but when Chun Xing sat down again, his smile froze.

Snigger, this grumpy child is also quite fun.

Wu Rui found that no one paid attention to him. He thought about it, pedaled closer and pulled the bamboo shoots in front of Chunxing to his face. "Ha, if you don't let me peel it, I have to peel it."

Sitting on the big stone that Chuntao just pointed to, learning the appearance of several people, peeling bamboo shoots, while peeling, muttering that it is dirty and not fun.

Erzhu saw that the young master finally stopped, wiped the sweat from being scared, and stood by and waited.

Because of his visit, Mr. Stanley Ho specially branded white flour and leek cakes, and fried his favorite Chili sour bamboo shoots and fried meat. It turns out that when pear blossoms were small, peppers were never put in cooking at home, and only a little was put at the end of last year. Boiled a few salted eggs and stirred a pot of white flour egg soup.

Li Wei thought this boy was going to make trouble for a while when he was eating, but he didn't expect to eat well. While he was eating happily, he muttered that his bowl was too thick and broken, there were too few dishes, and the white bread was not soft.

He said with a smile, two days later, there will be a pile of elms, which can be steamed to eat.

He had a half-baked bread in his hand and his mouth was full of tears. He also said in the previous sentence that whoever wants anything doesn't need money, and then he asked awkwardly if it was delicious.

Chuntao flushed with laughter several times, trying not to laugh out loud.

Jules ate three or two meals at a separate small table, and stood watching Wu Rui. He felt relaxed and happy when he saw that he had eaten more than half of the pancakes. He must go back and talk to the old lady about it, and think to himself that he can be punished less.

After lunch, when he saw that his eyelids were sore, he asked Chuntao to take him to take a nap on the Kang in Niange. When he wakes up, he eats too, so that Li Haixin can send him away.

He complained that the kang was too hard, the mattress was thin and the quilt was broken.

Chunxing can't bear it. She ran over and shouted, "I don't want to sleep, hurry up."

Wu Rui stared at each other and lay down disgruntled.

He has no time to cook some pig food to feed the newly bought pigs. Let Li Haixin take twenty or thirty dollars to the mill in the neighboring village to buy some bran.

Chuntao and Chunlanna didn't dig the soles well a few days ago, and Liu Chun was going to dig bamboo shoots again, but the jars at home were full, so he led Chunxing and Li Wei to dig grass in the garden.

They set aside the big garden and let Li Wei set aside his own small garden.

Jules felt very sorry and came to help mow the grass.

Wu Rui slept for about half an hour and woke up. Li Haixin hasn't come back yet. He invited him to play for a while and then sent him home.

He swung around and looked around. Throw a small stone into the henhouse, watch the chickens with their wings cut all over the fence, and take a small stick to pound the three piglets just caught lying in the sun. The pig was beaten all over the pigsty by him. He stood beside the pigsty laughing his head off.

Hearing this, Chunxing tugged at the grass and muttered, "Look at that stupid look."

Liu Chun smiled and looked back at her. "See if you dare to be presumptuous again."

When Li Haixin came back, he was relieved to see Jules playing top with him. Take the bran off the car and look at the sky. It is getting late. Let He clean up a dozen catties of sour bamboo shoots and put them in the bamboo basket. There is nothing to take home, so he went to the garden and cut a large pinch of the first spring leek, tied it with a straw rope and let it take.

Wu Rui refused to leave, saying that he had not played enough and wanted to play again. Chunxing threw those things into his carriage, put his hands around her waist and shouted, "Here you are. Take it for yourself and don't come to my house again. "

Wu Rui shouted, "Don't you dare kick me out."

Chunxing looked up with a look of "you are the one who got rid of it". He hurried over and punched her on the back.

And gently appease Wu Rui, don't argue with Miss Xing, it's getting late, and parents should worry if they don't leave.

Wu Ruicai unwillingly dropped the whip of the gyro and got into the carriage. Don't forget to keep an eye on Chunxing when you leave.

After leaving, He patted his clothes and smiled at Chuntao. "This young master has been here for a long time, and his ears are almost deaf."

Chuntao also said, "Yes, I heard him shout, and my forehead hurt."

The family took aim at Koharu apricot again, laughing to see if she would dare to be presumptuous in the future.

When Tong Yongnian came back from school in the evening, Chunxing complained to him that the boy bullied her and her parents and sisters blamed her. If he dares to come again next time, let Tong Yongnian beat him to help vent his anger.

Li Wei looked at him with a book in his arms. Although the proportion is higher, it is not necessarily better than others. It's still uncertain who will beat him.

Tong Yongnian pursed his lips, patted Chunxing on the head and smiled. "Well, if he dares to bully you again, my brother will help you beat him."

Soon after, Li Haixin also came back with a donkey cart. Tell Mr. He that the shopkeeper Wu is going crazy, and everyone in the family thinks he has lost it. The good man has disappeared in the study. The old lady was so anxious that she fainted once. Just after Wu Rui was delivered, the shopkeeper insisted on hitting him, but the old lady and his wife protected him from harm. The house is a mess.

He also said that the donkey was really old, could not run fast, and was anxious on the road. In the past three years, they have cultivated autumn land in the pear fields of Hejiabao. Two uncles brought oxen, carts and plows, and this year they added plows and rakes. Li Haixin discussed whether to buy a calf and feed it until the old donkey was completely exhausted and could take over.

It's the same if you think about it. He can't borrow animals to farm every year. I agreed.
