"Come on, let me see it, you are just lazy."

"The vegetables in other people's markets are all brought here by big trucks. How can you compare with the two times you come here? How much do you sell now?"

"It's not what the teacher said about you. Just when I was on duty a few days ago, I saw many people hanging around here, asking when the vegetable seller would open, and some even asked if you were coming.

"

"Think about it, isn't this all door-to-door business? If you were more diligent and made more deliveries, wouldn't you make more money than you do now?"

In fact, what Liang Jinke said is reasonable.

But what he didn't know was that Chen Ling didn't care about this little money.

The original intention of opening this store was not for money.

However, it was hard to explain this kind of thing, so Chen Ling had to say that the vegetables he sold were of high quality, but the output was very low, so he couldn't wholesale more even if he wanted to.

"That's right, but then again, the food you sell is really good..."

"The beans you gave me last time were fried for two meals after I brought them back. The children and adults were all rushing to eat them. I thought my family hadn't eaten beans in half a year, and they thought they were fresh. It turns out you sold them.

The food is good.”

"No wonder you have so many repeat customers!"

Liang Jinke laughed when he said this.

Chen Ling also smiled and pulled the little Mazar he brought over to him to sit down.

"I don't want to sit anymore. I have to go and change shifts with others."

"I just saw that you don't work well and have the same bad habits as a teacher again, so I was holding back my energy in the past few days and wanted to give you a lesson."

"I just happened to see you opening the door today, so I couldn't hold myself back and came right over."

Liang Jinke waved his hand, then pushed the car and walked out the door.

Chen Ling sent him out, wanting to give him some more peanuts, but the old man refused to take any.

"Okay, it's getting late. You should go home quickly. If there's anything going on here, I'll keep an eye on it for you while I'm on duty."

After watching Liang Jinke leave, Chen Ling didn't go to deliver peanuts to the oil mill anymore. He simply cleaned up the yard, locked the door, and drove the ox cart home.

On the way home, I met many people from the same village who were returning from the market, but Chen Ling had nothing in his car except a basket of rice dumplings, so they all thought he was also going to the market, so they simply called him when they met.

Say hello and say a few words.

However, several little children who followed him to the market were very happy to see him. They had already become familiar with Chen Ling. Regardless of the obstruction of his family, they ran over and climbed onto the bullock cart, laughing and joking all the way back home.

.

When he got home and gave Wang Susu the money for selling the medicinal materials, Chen Ling took the rice dumplings over and opened the cloth covering the basket.

"Susu, look, these are rice dumplings given by two friends in the county. I'm going to steam them right now. Let's try them later. How do they taste?"

"Ah? Why did you give so much? I also thought we would cover it for two days."

Wang Susu was surprised when she saw the basket full of rice dumplings.

"I think it's a lot, but if someone insists on giving it, it's not good if I don't accept it."

Chen Ling smiled and said, "Let's eat first. Let's eat more in the next few days, and we'll pack it in during the Dragon Boat Festival."

"Well, I'd better steam it, and you put the rest into the well."

Wang Susu picked up seven or eight rice dumplings and said to Chen Ling.

Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, the rice dumplings cannot be placed outside, nor inside the house, otherwise they will become stale overnight.

There is no other choice but to put it in the well.

There are not many ways to preserve fresh food in rural areas. It is okay when the temperature is low. But when the temperature is high and there is no refrigerator, you have to put the easily perishable food in baskets or buckets, tie a rope and lower it into the well. This can also be used.

It has good refrigeration and preservation effect.

This is how the lamb chops and mutton sent to Wang Jusheng's family a few days ago were preserved in this way. Because they gave too much, the couple took two or three days to finish them based on their current appetite.

Soon, the rice dumplings came out of the pot.

This rice dumpling was made by Liang Hongyu according to the rice dumplings from the capital. It is the four-cornered rice dumpling from the north. It is very big and is a sweet rice dumpling with peanuts and red dates.

However, it tasted quite good. Chen Ling ate four of them in one go to satisfy his craving. But his stomach was not yet full, so he ordered two more bowls of noodles and simply fried two eggs with wild garlic before finally eating them.

full.

The next day is the 25th day of the fourth lunar month, and the Dragon Boat Festival is ten days away.

Chen Ling's family ate rice dumplings early, but other families in the village were still busy with farming.

At night the south wind blows, and the wheat is covered with yellow.

As soon as it enters the fifth month of the lunar calendar, it is the annual wheat harvest time.

Compared to the north, it is about a month earlier.

This is the busiest time of the year.

Even if you don’t plant wheat and plant other crops, it’s almost time to harvest.

Such as rapeseed, such as watermelon.

Rapeseed is better, watermelon is about to mature at this time, and people are inseparable in the melon field.

Wang Lixian stopped working at Erzhu a few days ago. He built a straw shed in the melon field early and took the family dog ​​to guard it at night.

It prevents people from stealing, and also prevents other things from going to the fields to eat at night.

But early this morning, Wang Lixian came to see him and asked Chen Ling to come over and help him out.

When Chen Ling asked, he found out that he wanted to groom sheep.

Wang Lixian's waist was not good, and the big male sheep had a bad temper and was very strong. He couldn't hold it down at all, so he had to come to Chen Ling.

It happened that Chen Ling went to the county town yesterday, and he was free again. He had nothing to do at home, so he went without saying a word.

"Brother Xian, since you don't want to keep breeding sheep, why don't you gelding them when they are young?"

"I wanted to geld it before, but your sister-in-law brought it back from her parents' house a few years ago. It was the twelfth lunar month at that time, and it was cold and there was nothing to feed. I was afraid that the goat would not be able to feed it, so I didn't do it. As a result, it turned out that

After spring, I was either busy planting melons or going to work at Erzhu, so I forgot about it."

"These days, the ram is starting to want to be bred. It's becoming more dishonest every day, which makes people uncomfortable. Then I remembered that this sheep hasn't gelded yet."

Wang Lixian sighed and said.

This is the case with male sheep. If you don't want to keep the breeding sheep, they must be shed when they are four or five months old. Otherwise, after the physiological development is complete, they will just think about the little ewes all day long, and they will always jump around in the circle before the day is over.

Even when they jump out of the sheepfold, they have to be bred with other ewes in the village.

It won't work if you just ignore it. If you keep doing that thing, you won't gain weight.

Just kill the sheep and cut off its roots, so you don't have to think about it anymore.

After the castration, the six roots of the ram are pure and the mind is pure. If you eat and sleep, if you eat while sleeping, you will grow meat quickly.

And the fishy smell in the meat will not be so strong.

…

Wang Lixian's house also has a traditional old mountain village earthen courtyard, with yellow mud walls, black tile roofs, short courtyard walls, and a small gatehouse at the courtyard door.

It is also a long courtyard, but divided into north and south parts.

Wang Lixian's family lives in the north, and Wang Lixian's wife lives in the south. Chickens, ducks, dogs and sheep are also raised in the south yard.

After Chen Ling walked into the courtyard gate, he saw a very large old jujube tree growing in the center of the courtyard. In the south courtyard, there was a tall acacia tree, full of white locust flowers, which could be smelled from a distance.

To the refreshing fragrance.

After a few gentle sniffs, the fragrance of flowers fills your mouth and nose.

At this time, Liu Yuzhi and Da Nier were having breakfast at the table in the courtyard.

Liu Nier was sitting on the thick branch of the old jujube tree, holding a piece of pickle and gnawing on the steamed bun, shaking her legs restlessly while gnawing.

When he saw Chen Ling coming in, his eyes lit up, he called Uncle Fugui vaguely, then he put the steamed bun in his mouth and jumped down from the tree.

"You are not honest when you eat. Hurry up and finish your meal and go to school."

Wang Lixian walked over and kicked Liu Nier on the butt.

"I don't, I won't go until I see the Gelding Sheep!"

Liu Nier patted her butt, scratched her neck and shouted.

He is used to being beaten, so this baby is very strong.
