Smallholder Farmer

Section 15 Cabbage, Shepherd's Purse, and Pickled Vegetables

While her elder brother was chopping bamboo, Yuyue finally found a thick bamboo that could make many things! This bamboo, the thickest place! It's half a foot in diameter, it's almost a tree! It is enough to cut it in half to make a chicken food box, but if the two ends are cut better, it can also be used as a water ladle? Yuyue was still thinking, aunt and brother would cut a section by themselves to make a kettle, and even a piggy bank for copper plates! This bamboo is so satisfying! The more Yuyue looked at it, the more satisfied she became!

Lug those bamboos back to the yard! It took a lot of effort, but luck was very good. On the way, I met the eldest son of the third uncle's family---Fan Qianjin. I want to call him Uncle Jin. , I know I want to make something for the house! He turned his head and moved back to the yard,

Brother Yan, this bamboo needs to be left to dry before it can be made. However, the things that this thick bamboo can be used for can be made now!

Uncle Jin took the bamboo saw he brought with him, sawed it off, and made three chicken food boxes each one meter long! I made a bracket out of bamboo and put it in the chicken shed, one for water and the other for food. I also built two thin bamboos in the chicken shed to let the chickens rest at night!

For the rest, Uncle Jin said he would take it back to his home and do it! Bamboo needs to be processed!

Then he dragged a few bamboos he cut himself and went home!

Taking advantage of the dawn, the three of them were busy cutting pigweed again! At this time, it became apparent that the tools were not enough, so Yuyue could only dig with her own small hoe. Anyway, two people could cut enough for a pig to eat, so Yuyue just dug the wild vegetables on the ground! While chatting with the elder brother next to him, he wanted a small scythe!

Yan Ge'er was the first time in charge of the family, and he didn't think carefully, so he surrendered directly after being nagged by her.

Tomorrow, at the gate of the courtyard, you see someone in the village is going to the town, you go with it, and choose the right one for yourself!

It's okay, bro, I'll dig up more wild vegetables today and tomorrow morning, and send them to the town to exchange for money. I'll earn it myself, and the family only has fifty coins, so don't waste it!

I love to hear this! Naturally nodding like pecking rice!

Yuyue did what she said, and she really buried herself in digging up a lot of shepherd's purse! The next day, at noon, there was a basket full! After explaining to my aunt who was busy at home, I carried the vegetables on my back and sent them to the town! Just thinking about it, should I still go to a restaurant and sell it? When I was struggling, I heard people shouting!

Hey, little girl! Come here! When passing by the biggest restaurant in Zhenkou, the fat shopkeeper unexpectedly recognized her!

Uncle shopkeeper! While putting down the basket! Alas, luck is good, the privilege of a traveler! Protagonist Halo!

Do you still have cabbage? The fat shopkeeper grinned!

That's a good question! In the past few days, I have harvested cabbage early in the morning and at night, and planted some various vegetables. The quantity is overwhelming! Yuyue muttered in her stomach! With a pleasing smile on his face, he replied:

Yes! Is it possible that this cabbage tastes good, and it's too late?

Why don't you carry it back and sell it?

My aunt has something to do, I don't have time, I'm weak, my aunt said, it's better to start the kiln! Anyway, there are not many! The supply is urgent, this is not the season for fresh vegetables!

Little girl, I'll pay you six cents a catty to buy it with you. You can find a car to pull it up, and I'll pay for the fare! At this time, my shopkeeper is just waiting for a meal, and I can't leave!

Okay, I'll sell this shepherd's purse and fetch it! Yuyue immediately surrendered after earning two cents! Sell!

What else are you selling? Uncle, I bought them together. This shepherd's purse looks good to me. How about I give you six cents a catty?

What's wrong? Only Siwen is sold in this market! I have to wait and buy for a long time, besides, I don’t even have one! Yuyue narrowed her eyes with a smile!

Thank you, Uncle Shopkeeper, then I'll go to the village to collect goods! I'll leave the basket with you!

Walking into the town, Yuyue arranged for an ox cart, and the man who pulled the cart looked honest!

Uncle, you will arrive outside the town in half an hour, on the side of the main road heading towards Fanjia Village, I will wait for you by the side of the road, some of the vegetables from my field will be brought into the city to sell, just pile them up Waiting for you by the side of the road!

Okay, little girl, I will pull the cart over after I get off the goods!

Uncle, I'll wait for you on the way to my field!

Honest people are easy to dismiss. Yuyue excused herself to wait for him by the side of the road, and walked out of the town first. Halfway along the road, there were many vegetable fields on the side, and there were no people coming and going. The cabbages on the edge of the field ridges in the space were all taken out and piled up on the side of the road, and the freshly grown vegetables --- onions, common leeks, shallots, and garlic sprouts were also taken out!

The appointed ox cart arrived on time, and the honest-looking uncle was a little curious!

Little girl, where are the adults in your room?

There's a lot of work in the field, I'm going back to work, please help me pack the vegetables! Okay?

What's wrong with that? It's about reaching out!

The uncle is a hard worker, so he loaded the dish into the cart in a few strokes. Yuyue took him to the restaurant. Then I left, it's important to pull the job!

The dishes delivered this time actually contained 300 catties of cabbage, 10 catties each of onions, leeks, shallots, and garlic sprouts! This can be regarded as a fresh dish! The fat shopkeeper is counted as fifteen yuan a catty. Now that it is prosperous, the cabbage can earn 1,800 yuan, and the 600 yuan for the shallots will make a total of 2,400 yuan. The shepherd’s purse is only ten catties, and it will earn 60 yuan!

Thank you, uncle shopkeeper, I'm leaving! Yuyue's back was filled with almost half a basket of copper plates, which was really heavy!

Little girl, my surname is Zeng, which family are you from?

My name is Fan Yuyue. Uncle Zeng can just call me Xiaoyue girl! From Fanjia Village, I live at the head of the village!

Girl Xiaoyue, do you still have this dish at your house?

No, the ones are still in the ground and haven't grown well. I dug the shepherd's purse myself, but there are!

Okay, girl Xiaoyue, if the vegetables in this family's field are ready to be marketed, just send them to my store, but this wild vegetable, no matter shepherd's purse, gray vegetable or whatever, you can go find tender and tender ones. Come on, make enough for a pocket, and I will accept it from you at this price! How about that?

In this way, Uncle Zeng can be regarded as my family's great benefactor. My house is on the side of the mountain, and there are a lot of wild vegetables. I will pick the good ones and dig them for you!

Okay, the money is packed, don't lose it, this stewed chicken, take it, give it to your aunt, and say it was given by Uncle Zeng from the Yipinxian restaurant! Let her remember that the dishes are only delivered to me Come to the shop!

Boss Zeng took out a chicken that he didn't buy at the lunch market. The taste of this dish is delicious, and it is necessary to win over the family!

Hey, thank you, Uncle Zeng! Yu Yue happily walked away with her basket on her back! Anyway, I know what these three traditional characters are! Moreover, this can be regarded as finding a big client for the family! As long as you work hard, you don't have to worry about living a bad life! Yuyue is very down-to-earth! Save the money for selling your own space vegetables first, and use it later when you have a chance! This is not stingy, but a necessary safety measure!

Finding a blacksmith's house that sells ironware, Yu Yue carefully selected a small sickle, especially this one with a smooth handle! This size is easy to use for mowing grass and digging wild vegetables, a bit like a toy!

Bought another pair of big scissors! Ready for honeysuckle pruning! I chose a medium-sized hoe, a small hoe, and an iron watering can! For use in the space, Yuyue spent a hundred coins by herself, carrying a basket on her back, and went home with a smile on her face!

On the way, I put the board hoe, point hoe, large scissors, and watering can into the space and put them away. Naturally, I don’t have a place to put my copper coins, so I just put them on the edge of the field! Temporarily put it in the watering can, only put the sixty cash for the shepherd's purse outside, and deducted the ten cash for the small sickle! Never leave a tail behind in everything!

With the 50 Wen, I bought an oil lamp in the grocery store again! For rough porcelain, the shopkeeper asked for 1 penny, a catty of kerosene plus a handful of rushes, and the total cost was only 10 pennies! It saved another penny. It is really inconvenient not to have a lamp in this room!

Walking to the side of the road, I bought my favorite small gourd scoop for 2 cents, and I also bought a bundle of bamboo fences that can be as long as 20 meters. Turning the corner, seeing that the stripper couldn't see him, he stepped into the space, alone in the space, and set up the bamboo fence on the honeysuckle field! The small gourd water ladle is also placed by the spring! He came out again, and took out a cabbage that was left on purpose, and was going to taste it to see if it tasted good. This is why Boss Zeng has to pay more for the goods! As the old saying goes, what you sell is not as good as what you buy, but I really don't know what my own goods are, so I figured everything was in order, so I walked honestly! go home!

When I got home, I paid the money, bought a bunch of things, and had 40 Wen, which caused a huge response! Brother Yan decided to dig wild vegetables with his sister! My aunt specializes in killing pigweed!

On the third day, after breakfast, Uncle Jin brought over the finished things!

The water ladle that Yuyue wanted, of course, could be made from bamboo, but Uncle Jin's family still had a big gourd idle, so they naturally changed it into two water ladles, and here they are. After all, making water ladles from gourds is more professional!

Sure enough, three kettles were made, the craftsmanship is exquisite! There is also a sling! The piggy bank that Yuyue wanted, took the top and made it into a foot-long one, and she could open the lid to get money! At that time, Uncle Jin also took away the thickest root section of the bamboo. It was originally intended to be used as a water ladle, but now it is unexpectedly! It was dug round, polished, and made into a small round box with a lid! It's not too small, it's about half a foot in diameter!

Yuyue was very happy: Uncle Jin, you are so skillful, thank you!
