Chapter 630: Catching Snakes

Chapter 630 Snake Catching

Even with a good-nature Wu Ma's personality, she became a little impatient after waiting for a long time.

The old farmer has seen her for so long, but she is still waiting in place, grateful and guilty, and quickly walked forward and said, "I'm really sorry. I've delayed some effort on the road, which has made you wait for a long time. See what you want, I'll make you cheaper."

Seeing that the father and son were anxious, Wu Ma was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, her clothes were soaked with sweat.

The kind-hearted Wu Ma retreated back when she reached the complaints.

The old farmer and his son unloaded the basket on their backs. In addition to the wild fruits on the mountain, there were also some wild vegetables and wild mushrooms.

Seeing that the fruit was not only fresh, but also very large, Wu Ma felt very appetizing. The wild vegetables were even with water droplets, and they were clearly picked today. She nodded with satisfaction, but did not dare to make decisions without authorization. She said to the old farmer, "I definitely want this fruit. As for wild vegetables, I want to go back and discuss with my wife. You can wait for a while and I will come back soon."

The old farmer nodded, "Sure, I'll wait no matter how long."

Only then did Wu Ma quickly step into the temple through the back door.

Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Tang walked around and happened to meet Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Ding who were out for a walk. Several people simply walked together and found a cool place to talk. Mrs. Zhang lived with Mrs. Ding these days and became very close to each other. What's more, Mrs. Zhang asked Mrs. Tang to be a matchmaker for Ms. Ding, and Mrs. Ding felt very grateful. She said less flattering to her and got along more sincerely. Mrs. Zhang is also a personal sensual. How could she not feel it if it was false or sincere? She discovered Mrs. Ding's changes and was very happy and treated Mrs. Ding as a friend.

Several people sat and talked in the shade of the corridor. I don’t know what Mrs. Ding said, which made Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Zhang laugh. Even Mrs. Tang used a veil to block her mouth and chuckled softly.

Wu Ma hesitated whether she should go forward to ask for instructions.

Mrs. Zhang's eyes were sharp-eyed. Seeing that she was moving forward and moving forward, she knew that she must have something to say. Mrs. Zhang waved to her, "Come here quickly, what are you doing? It's hot and I don't stay with your wife. Have you gone to the mountains to play?"

Wu Ma naturally knew that Mrs. Zhang was talking to her. She quickly walked to the corridor and said respectfully, "Mrs. My in-laws are really good at telling jokes. I don't go out often and can't tell the difference between the east, south, west and north. If I enter the mountains, I will probably only be fed to the wolf."

"Don't talk nonsense." Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, "There have been no wolves in Putuo Mountain for decades, but there are many snakes and insects. It is said that there are special snake catchers..."

Mrs. Ding interrupted curiously, "What is the use of a good snake-replenishing method? Do you want to make medicinal wine?"

Mrs. Zhang said, "How many snakes are there on this mountain and what wine can be soaked clean? I heard that there are vendors who specialize in snake collection. Snake skins and snake gallbladders are useful, and they are very rewarding. Many people go into the forest in summer, and many people lose their lives for this."

"Life?" Mrs. Ding looked puzzled and looked very shocked.

Mrs. Zhang said, "Some snakes are poisonous. Do you think they will lie there and wait for you to catch them? Once they are frightened, they will fight back and hurt people, and they are not just a joke."

When Mrs. Tang heard them say one by one, she pulled the words away and said with a smile, "There are still people doing snake catching business in the past few years, and few people have done it in recent years. I heard that those old people who are good at snake catching will apply some snake medicine on their hands to avoid accidents."

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Ding nodded repeatedly.

Mrs. Tang took the opportunity to ask Wu Ma, "What's the important thing about you coming?"

Every time Wu Ma faces Mrs. Tang, she feels nervous and says with a stuttering, "No... it's not important. In front of her, she asks me to go to the back mountain gate to buy wild fruits. In addition to the fruits, I see that wild vegetables and mountain mushrooms are also good, so I want to ask my wife if she wants to buy some."

Before Mrs. Tang could speak, Mrs. Zhang asked anxiously, "Is it fresh?"

Wu Ma nodded honestly, "Fresh, dew hanging on her head, it looks like it's picked in the morning, green, and you'll have appetite."

"Buy it, buy it!" Mrs. Zhang immediately made a decision and said, "It just happened that we made vegetarian buns to eat at night. Puji Temple is good everywhere, but the monk in the kitchen is too careless and has no clear soup and no water at all. It is better to drink boiled water." As soon as she finished speaking, she said to Mrs. Tang with embarrassment, "Look at me, this excitement is so complacent that she dares to steal your words. Don't be as knowledgeable as me, I have to change this problem in the future." Finally, she asked again, "What do you think about me?"

"Of course it's good." Mrs. Tang also thought that the vegetarian dishes in Puji Temple were very average, but she came from hard days and was very grateful and contented when she had to eat, so she didn't say anything. Since Mrs. Zhang wanted to make vegetarian buns, she naturally had no objection, so she ordered Wu Ma, "You go and buy more, and you can't just eat small dishes by yourself. The monks and other pilgrims in the temple have also prepared some, and there is not much money on the left, so she doesn't have to make jokes with people without careful calculation."

Wu Ma nodded and agreed, "Yes."

Mrs. Zhang knew that she was a good person who had no evil thoughts in her heart, for fear that she would be deceived when she went out, "I'll ask my personal mother to come over and give you a blow, so that you won't be able to hold it alone." As she said that, she winked at the personal mother behind her and signaled her to pay the money.

The proposal was made by her, and there was no reason to let others spend money.

The close mother immediately understood and nodded secretly.

But how could this little move be hidden from Mrs. Tang's eyes? She smiled and said, "No, I'll just let Mama Li go there."

Madam Li naturally understood and immediately said, "Yes, I happened to take a look at the fun."

Mrs. Zhang was not good at talking anymore, so she could only say, "Then I will open my mouth and wait for the ready-made ones."

Madam Li accompanied Mama Wu to the back door and saw the old farmer and son huddled in the shade of the corner. She grabbed a big leaf from somewhere and was constantly fanning the wind. As soon as she saw Mama Wu coming back, the two of them hurriedly came forward.

Madam Li looked at the wild fruits and vegetables in the basket and nodded with satisfaction, "It's indeed a good thing. Just calculate how much you have done after weighing it, and then help us move in."

The old farmer didn't expect that the other party was so easy to talk to, and two baskets of mountain goods were left behind. He was surprised and happy, and he couldn't stop at many places. "Thank you, noble man, I must say that I'll be careful, I won't be short of weight, and I won't cheat your money."

He calculated the price, Madam Li paid, and the old farmer and his son helped to deliver the goods to the kitchen behind Puji Temple. He had been doing business here for a long time and was familiar with the monks in the temple, so no one made things difficult for him.

After leaving the house, the old farmer collected the money and embarked on the way home with a happy look on his face. Those who were still waiting for business couldn't help but look envious, but the old farmer's son frowned all the way. The old farmer asked, "All mountain goods have been exchanged for money, so you can buy rice and noodles. Why are you still unhappy?"

The son said, "If I had known this, I would have carried the two baskets at home..."

The old farmer laughed when he heard this, "Silly boy, you are too greedy. That's good. How much do you want to sell? Let's go buy rice with your father."

The son then showed a happy expression, and the father and son walked towards the distance while talking.
