Eldest Sister, Why Haven’t You Married Yet

The young Jin sisters also brought a lot of things this time, but the weight was much lighter than the previous day. The sisters went out early, and when they arrived at the Luohe market, it was easy to find empty stalls. Put the fresh water celery on the top of the dry straw, and then a basket of locust blossoms was also set aside. The sisters were neat and clever, but they set up a stall and started selling.

Nowadays, most of the vegetables on the street are Chinese cabbages that have been hoarded at the age of the year, and there are a few wild vegetables. However, like the young Jin sisters, they are full of dangling and it is really the only one. But after a while, a basket of sophora japonica has been sold for most of the time. The young Jin sisters do not have a steelyard, and selling Huaihua is just wrapped in lotus leaves and tied with a straw rope. One pack sells penny money, which is not expensive, so it sells fast.

"Little girl, are you a bamboo rat?" A fat white man who was dressed very well and brought a guy behind him smiled and asked, "I'm the first to sell bamboo rats in Luohe Prefecture." see!"

"This old man has good eyesight, but my dad was caught by my father on the mountain yesterday, and he was alive and kicking. Are you going to have one?" The nonsense that came from the opening of Young Jin's mouth was better said: "The bamboo rat is not easy to catch If you want it sincerely, how about two people who charge you four dollars? "

The chubby man hadn't said anything. The young pearl on the side took a breath. The two elder sisters of bamboo rats dare to call such a high price!

"The little girl dared to shout when she was young, not afraid of the wind blowing her tongue?" The white fat man was very interested in these two bamboo rats, and the high price of the young gold did not scare him, but he did it directly. Tugged one of the paws. That made the bamboo rat "giggling" at him a few times, and made him "haha" twice.

The stall of Young Jin set up for a while, even the bamboo shoots sold a few, but no one asked the bamboo rat. This fat man is the first guest to ask. She definitely wants to seize this opportunity. Take these two gadgets: "This old man," Compendium of Materia Medica "has records, bamboo rat meat is sweet, tonic and qi, detoxification, this is not the same as the pork and beef you usually eat, This is a good thing! "

Seeing that she even opened her mouth for "Compendium of Materia Medica", the fat white man thought it was a bit interesting: "I can't see the little girl is still hidden! Just rush to you, I want these two bamboo rats, In addition, I've wrapped up all the things in your stall, pick me up. "

This is big business! Young Jin was immediately happy to see her teeth and see her eyes: "Ah! Good Lat! I still have three bundles of water celery, six spring bamboo shoots, and a half basket of sophora japonica, plus two bamboo rats. ? "

The man was also rich and wealthy, and took one or two pieces of silver directly from the purse and threw it into the hands of young gold. Young gold is a little difficult: "Master, our small business, your silver is too big, do you have broken silver?" Not that she didn't want it, but she came out to sell things, where would she take it with you? So much broken silver?

The white fat man listened to her asking this question, but it was a little difficult: "This is already my most loose silver. Otherwise, you will send me two bamboo rats and some wild vegetables to Yunweixuan in Dongshi tomorrow. What if it ’s the money I paid you in advance? ”Then he motioned to the boy behind him to give back the things in the young gold stall, and he was n’t afraid that the young gold would corrupt his silver. .

Young Jin thought for a while and said, "Master, this bamboo rat is not what we say we can get it. In this way, I will send you more wild vegetables and bamboo shoots tomorrow. When the bamboo rat catches me, I will give it to you. How? "This is a long-term business, and young gold can tighten this big customer!

The chubby man didn't care about these two half-silver, and waved his hand casually: "Success, if you catch a bamboo rat again, I'll take it at the price. If you have other fresh food, I'll take it. "After he finished, he didn't say much, and looked away with his big sleeves.

Youzhu watched the elder sister put one or two silver into her arms, and she still couldn't believe it: "Elder sister, the two bamboo rats you caught yesterday were so valuable! One or two silver!"

Youjin rolled up the straw rolls on the ground, put it away, and then picked up her own basket and patted Youzhu's head: "What do you want? Let's give someone a half a silver coin! Hurry back!" Your piggybacker has gone, otherwise what will you send to the city tomorrow? "After listening to the elder sister said, Youzhu got back to her mind and hurriedly picked up her piggyback, followed by Yujin, the two sisters left the castle go with.

***

Youjin Youzhu went into the city to make money, and Yuyin and others were not idle at home: the two big men first washed the clothes of a whole family, and then took You Lingyou Luo to the riverside ridge to find traces of wild vegetables, because The elder sister said last night, even if you pull it back and you can't sell it, you have to eat it as a family. A few children knew that the family now spends money everywhere, and they are all very sensible, saving money for a penny.

When the young Jin sisters returned home, the young Yin and others had already picked up a large basket of water celery and half a basket of ferns. I heard that all the vegetables I picked yesterday were sold out, and the sisters were very happy. After lunch, I didn't even take a nap. I split my head and went to work.

Young gold is naturally going to find bamboo rats on the mountain. The bamboo rat is the best at making holes, so Young Jin came up with a method of using smoke. This bamboo rat is not the same as a rabbit. The smoke comes out naturally after smoking. Youzhu also tasted the sweetness of the bamboo rat, shouting to go with Youjin. Youjin thought about it, and she was really busy, so she took the only younger one who was not so afraid to help.

Young Jin carried a basket of dried straw in his back basket, and a small bag of cannabis was placed in the back basket of Young Pearl, which was used to smoke bamboo rats for a while.

The sisters went to the mountain and made several laps, and then Yu Jin roughly determined which holes were connected. She chose one of the holes and asked You Zhu to hold the sack tightly around the hole: "After a while, my head was smoked, bamboo The mouse designation is here, you have to hold the sack! "

Young Pearl was also a little nervous, nodded with her lips pursed: "Well, I know, elder sister, go quickly!"

Young Jin picked up a lot of wet bamboo leaves and stuffed them with dried straw into the other two holes. Then he took out the fire folds and ignited them one by one. After a while, the thick white smoke curled up. Youjin hadn't returned to the hole where Youzhu was guarding. Youzhu felt the tightness of the sack he was pulling, and then there was a gurgle from the sack. Youzhu was afraid that the bamboo rat would run away. I was still a little afraid while holding the mouth of the bag tightly: "Sister, grab it!"

Young Jin ran over in two steps and the two sisters hurriedly closed the bag, and then tightly tied the sack with strong rattan, then Yu Jin raised the bag and did not know how many bamboo rats. The sack felt the weight, and then squinted with a smile: "There are also four or five bamboo rats!"

"So much!" Youzhu opened her mouth wide: "Then you can change a lot of silver!" It looks like a little wealthy fan fell in the eyes of Youjin, and Youjin was also amused and nodded: "Yes! Can change A lot of money! "

When he caught the bamboo rat, the young gold asked the young pearl to guard the heavy sack, and then he wandered all over the mountain to plan the spring bamboo shoots. This time, Young Jin honestly dug two white baskets of chubby spring bamboo shoots, and saw Youzhu stunned: "Sister, you are going to plan all the bamboo shoots on the mountain!"

"Now it's a good time to eat bamboo shoots. Let's give it to Yunweixuan, and the rest can still be sold in Xishi, right?" You Jin looked at her in surprise: "Yeah, you pearl is now too silver. Can't you get too much? "Youzhu shook her head again and again, how could she feel too much money? When I heard that I would sell more silver, I even wanted to dig more young gold!

After the two sisters took the two large baskets of bamboo shoots and bamboo rats home, it was still too early to see it. They actually ran up the mountain again and dug two baskets of bamboo shoots before returning.

Looking at the bamboo shoots neatly placed under the kitchen gallery, Su Shi smiled a little: "You are going to move the bamboo shoots back on the mountain!" But I also know that the two daughters are good for this family, very neat The ground was cleaned with five or six small pieces and the dull bamboo shoots that were dug to prepare dinner tonight. It's almost full moon after Su's childbirth, and even the young silk in her family is going out to pick wild vegetables. Su's so-so said that the young Jin sisters agreed to let her start some light housework.

Although Su ’s body has become worse in the past two years, and she has been pregnant and giving birth, she has been kept in bed for at least ten months from year to year. However, her cooking skills are indeed inferior to those of young people. It's the same dish, but it's much better than Su Jin's. I caught five bamboo rats today, and the smallest one weighed nearly two pounds. Young Jin slaughtered a bamboo pot stewed with bamboo shoots for the Su family. The sisters were all eating oily mouths.

"It turns out that the bamboo rat meat is so delicious, it's better than pork!" You Bao said with a smile to the young Luo who was too busy to eat.

Young Pearl nodded: "No wonder today's man is willing to spend so much money on bamboo rats, it's really delicious!" While talking about the delicious, he also caught bamboo shoots to eat, there are not many bamboo rats, and the Su family's children are sensible, It ’s not too hard to eat. After all, it ’s already pretty good to eat dishes with meaty flavor, right?

After dinner, young Jin gave two small showers, and then several large ones took turns to take a bath before taking a break. Recently, several children ran outside, all of them were sweating, plus Under the influence of young children, the children of the Su family love to be cleaner than the children of the general households.

In the daytime, everyone was working outside. Now, after taking a bath, they lie comfortably on the kang, but for a while, the Su family yard is calm, the gentle mountain breeze slowly blowing, and the cricket weaving in front of the house. Sounded, everything was very peaceful and quiet, and several children fell into a sweet dream.
