Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

Changsheng washed his hands and went to help in the kitchen. When Liu Yu saw that Changsheng had taken over the task of making shortbread, she went to the backyard with a rake and dug all the ground that needed to be dug.

It saves my grandpa and grandma from having to dig the ground again.

The vegetable garden in the backyard is also enclosed by a bamboo fence. The radishes grown are growing very well, with large, juicy leaves spreading out, and the exposed rhizomes are also quite pleasing.

The cabbage is also a very big tree, with green leaves and snow-white sides, which makes you feel happy after just a few days of looking at it.

Thinking about talking about making dumplings with Chang Sheng, Liu Yu went to take a look at Jiucigou again. The thin green leaves of leeks were green, and when she got a little closer, she could smell the unique fragrance of leeks.

Most people in the village think that the leaves of this kind of leeks are thin and they don't grow very big. Most of them are transplanted broad-leaf leeks. Liu Yu still likes these small leeks with thin leaves. They are fragrant and particularly delicious when making dumplings.

A circle of broad beans planted around the fence is also growing quite well. The whole plant is about the size of a palm, about the height of a person's ankle. Thinking of broad bean soup and broad bean porridge, Liu Yu squats down again and removes the weeds growing next to the broad beans. It was pulled out.

The coriander, onion seedlings, and garlic seedlings also all had ridged leaves. Perhaps it was because they had not been watered much in the past two days. Liu Yu looked at them for a while and felt that these vegetables did not grow as well as the spinach next to them.

He scooped out water from the water tank on the side and poured it on the green onions and garlic seedlings. He poured three buckets full before stopping.

Finally, I walked around the vegetable garden with the rake. When I saw that there was nothing left to plow, I walked to the front yard with the rake and the old bucket.

The water in the water tank used for watering the ground has bottomed out. If you need to fetch some more water, the grandpa and grandma will have to struggle to carry water back from the river.

When Liu Yu filled the water tank in the backyard, she heard Liu Shan's hearty laughter coming from the front yard. Liu Yu was about to share her experience of selling shortbread today with a few cousins.

By the way, I asked them if they planned to go to the kiln entrance to pick up leaks together tomorrow.

Liu Yu went to the front yard, and coincidentally, in addition to Liu Shan, Liu Fan and Liu Yan were also there. They greeted each other, and then asked Liu Yu how business was doing today and whether the people at the kiln entrance were willing to eat.

Liu Yu briefly recounted what he saw and heard at the kiln entrance today, and then asked Liu Fan and Liu Yan: "Big brother and second brother, how good is the business in our town and Shuangqiao?"

Liu Yan was the first to speak: "Everything went smoothly. I brought about three hundred yuan today and sold everything."

Everyone was happy for Liu Yan upon hearing this, and Liu Fusheng and Nian were even more happy.

Liu Yan's face only turned red when he praised her.

"The market town in Shuangqiao is not as big as ours in Shangzhang Town. Perhaps because the dog eggs look so sweet when eating shortbread, the children can't walk on the road and keep begging adults to buy one."

Liu Fan glanced at Liu Shan with a smile: "Of course, our Shanzi has done the most credit and has been shouting hard, otherwise the more than 400 chestnut cakes he brought may not have been sold out."

"Yeah! You actually make so many." Nian was surprised. When she thought that they had all sold out, she felt happy in her heart and gave a thumbs up to her two grandsons.

"My mother is never in a hurry when doing things, Tianyu can't work too hard, and my father and I can't do it fast together." Liu Yan felt a little embarrassed when she heard that her family was at the bottom.

"What's the matter? Tianyu's body is important. You and your father can share the work at home, which is better than many people." After Nian finished speaking, he looked at the old man sitting in front of the stove and lighting the fire with a smile.

Although these children and grandchildren in the family have shortcomings of one kind or another, they are only good at one thing, that is, they have a job in their eyes, and they care about others. They are not like the men in other families, who cannot help a broom when it falls, or can't even make soup. good.

Then Liu Yu looked at the triumphant Liu Shan, pulled Liu Shan to her side, and said with a hint of flattery: "Third brother, teach me the words you use to attract customers!"

Liu Yu now knows that no matter how good your craftsmanship is, there must be someone willing to take a look. How can you make the villagers going to the market take a second look at the things you sell in so many stalls on a street, and be willing to ask about the price and buy a piece to try? Test the taste.

The first point is to attract attention. Although those fancy words are a bit shy to say.

I have to say it’s really ear-catching.

When Liu Yan heard that Liu Yu was seeking Buddhist scriptures from Liu Shan, he also hurriedly came forward.

"Why, I want to learn!" Liu Shan chuckled and looked at his cousin and cousin who were obediently waiting for him to speak.

Uh-huh!

Liu Yu and Liu Shan nodded in unison.

"Listen up!"

"Chestnut cake, fresh chestnut cake, free trial. If it doesn't taste good, you don't have to pay!"

"The chestnut cake is crispy, soft, sweet, and melts in your mouth! Chestnut cake is loved by the elderly, children, and pregnant women!"

"A penny-a-penny chestnut cake, all white dough for kneading the skin, all sugar and filling!"

"........."

"Third brother, you are so awesome!" Liu Yu raised his finger at Liu Shan.

"Hey, what's the point? The key is to be thick-skinned. We don't steal or rob. We do business openly and just sell things for a small amount. No one knows anyone anyway."

Liu Yu waved her hands, looking cheeky.

Liu Yu understood this. He thought the same way when he was hawking today. In his eyes, these villagers going to the market were just walking money bags. As for the problem of not being thick-skinned enough.

Liu Yu is not worried, as time has passed and he has naturally mastered it.

Liu Yan didn't speak. He lowered his head slightly and silently remembered these words in his heart. He had no choice but to do it. His father loved face, so it was no problem for him to cook in the stove. If he was allowed to show up to shout and sell things, I would rather not sell it than do it.

Fortunately, although his mother has been working hard, her temperament is not like his father's, and she also likes to joke. Today, mother and son also work well together. Today, his mother is soliciting customers, and he is also doing sales. If he just waits, If someone comes to ask, they will definitely get a lot of trouble.

Except Liu Yu and Liu Yan who were present, they kept Liu Shan's words in mind, and Chang Sheng, who was sitting in front of the chopping board making shortbread in the kitchen, also secretly kept it in mind.

Today, Liu Yu has to be responsible for the kang cakes and attracting customers. It is really hard. He only waits to help some trivial things, and he has long been filled with guilt.

Hearing Liu Shan say that he needed to learn to be thick-skinned, he suddenly felt enlightened. Indeed, if Hou Er went out to the stall again, he would also yell at them and just treat these people as big white radishes growing in the backyard vegetable garden.

After a while of banter between them, Liu Yu got down to business and mentioned that the kiln and porcelain factories at the entrance of the kiln would clean up defective products tomorrow, and asked the three of them if they would go.

The three of them were quite moved, and they all said that they would go home and ask their parents and give them an answer later.

Liu Shan was impatient and didn't wait for night. As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed back to ask his parents. Liu Yan also left hurriedly. They said goodbye to Liu Yu and others and hurried home to ask their parents.
