The daily life of a farmer through farming

On the second day, Bai Shui and Lu Yu packed all the sunflower seeds they had worked on all night into sacks, and rushed to the town with the ox cart of the neighbor Uncle Liu.

"What are you two tinkering with again, so anxious?" Although Uncle Liu was busy driving the ox cart, he still did not forget to gossip with the quiet two behind him.

Bai Shui had a tired look on his face, and Lu Yu was no exception. His big eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, but he was extremely excited. Before Bai Shui had time to speak, Lu Yu responded unprecedentedly, "Bai Shui and I were picking up on the mountain. I bought some mountain goods and are going to sell them."

"This is also very good, but now many people will sell it like this, I'm afraid they won't make much money."

"Let's not talk about this first, Uncle Liu, you should try this first." Bai Shui leaned over, took out a large handful of sunflower seeds from the sack and handed them to Uncle Liu, "Peel the shell off like me."

Uncle Liu followed suit dubiously, and the moment the sunflower seed kernels were put into his mouth, all doubts disappeared, and he couldn't help turning his head back with a look of surprise, looking at the confident Bai Shui, "You boy, strange Knowing how to pick things up, this thing is from our mountain? Why haven’t I seen it before?”

"These are the sunflower seeds on our mountain." Bai Shui didn't hide it from Uncle Liu, but fortunately he said it together.

In Bai Shui's impression, he had a good impression of Uncle Liu, much better than those relatives of Lu Yu's family. Besides, he and Lu Yu often borrowed ox carts from others, and they didn't ask for money. It has nothing to do with his family, after all, if sunflower seeds become popular in the future, anyone can get them out.

"Uncle Liu, you can go back now, don't wait for us two."

"Then how do you two go back? I don't care. I'm not in a hurry to collect the food now. I will meet the old man here, and it will be over in one morning."

The more Uncle Liu said this, the more ashamed Bai Shui felt, and hurriedly whispered, "I want to use the money I earned last time to buy a bullock cart for my family."

Bai Shui told the truth, Uncle Liu drove away with a happy smile on his face, Bai Shui saw that Lu Yu was only quiet at the side, and he was already used to it, so he began to look for theaters according to the experience of the last visit.

The whole street is filled with the aroma of all kinds of food, and there are all kinds of cries, it is very lively. When it comes to the theater, before entering, Baishui can hear the various accents of Wu Nong's soft words inside, looking at Lu Yu next to him , "You stay with me, I'm afraid this place will be a little messy."

As soon as Bai Shui finished speaking, Lu Yu's little white hand grabbed Bai Shui's sleeve again, and silently followed behind, making Bai Shui's mouth slightly open.

"You two, are you here to listen to the opera?" The shop waiter blocked Bai Shui and Lu Yu's way, and when he saw the big bag on Bai Shui's hands, his tone became even worse, "If you are not listening to the opera, leave quickly, Don't make trouble."

Observing words and emotions is a skill that will never become obsolete in any era. Bai Shui was not annoyed by the waiter's words, but explained with a smile, "I want to see your shopkeeper. I have something good to show him here. You must use it." .”

"Go, go, what good things do you guys have, leave reality quickly." The waiter in the shop still wanted to continue talking, but was frightened by the old voice behind him and fell silent.

"But you two are looking for me?"

The visitor was wearing a black gold ironing shirt and a hat of the same color. Although he was a bit older, he walked briskly and had a dignified manner. I had to bow my head and back away.

"It's not easy to discuss here, shopkeeper, can you take a moment to discuss in detail."

The man in the image of an official opposite Baishui didn't dislike Baishui and Lu Yu's coarse cloth attire, looked down at the big bag in Baishui's hand, nodded, and said, "Come with me."

Arriving in a closed tea room, Bai Shui put some sunflower seeds on the table, and let the shopkeeper observe, but the shopkeeper turned the sunflower seeds on the table over and over to check, after a while, Still haven't figured out what's going on, and there's some displeasure on his face.

"what is this?"

"Peel this thing open and eat the kernels inside. The shopkeeper will just watch."

The shopkeeper did as he did, peeled one and put it in his mouth. The burnt aroma of sunflower seeds in the fire and the inherent fragrance of sunflower seeds themselves, mixed and kneaded, made people's lips and teeth fragrant, and they couldn't stop their mouth movements. The shopkeeper is so addicted to food, he seems to have forgotten the current situation.

"Do you want to remind him, he's eating nothing!" Lu Yu whispered in Bai Shui's ear, even looking at the shopkeeper with a bit of resentment in his eyes, he didn't express his opinion, just ate there The food that Baishui worked so hard to make in his family is really angry!

The shopkeeper seemed to have heard Lu Yu's complaint, and smiled awkwardly, "Don't worry, little brother, I'm not a free eater, let your husband give you a price."

Bai Shui was surprised by the shopkeeper's insight, not only could he see his own purpose, but he could also detect that Lu Yu was his husband and wife, this person was really difficult to deal with.

"One sack and two taels of silver." Bai Shui was ready to bargain, but the man agreed without saying a word.

"Okay, these are for you, but I have one condition."

Look, the money is not so easy to earn.

The shopkeeper sipped the tea on the table and said slowly, "My theater is not the only one in our town, but from now on, your sunflower seeds can only be supplied to our family."

"That's not a problem, but I have to say something up front so we won't have any misunderstandings in the future."

"Little brother, just say it."

"Our folks on the mountain have seen the business we do for a long time. I'm afraid they will learn to do it in the future, and we can't guarantee who they will sell it to, so this." Bai Shui pretended to be embarrassed, "Besides The sunflower seeds are also in season, after this autumn and winter, I am afraid they will be gone."

The shopkeeper thought for a while, stroked his goatee back and forth, and then said, "That's okay, as long as you sell this sunflower seed to my store, and supply us every month if there is supply."

The deal was concluded, but the shopkeeper was a cheerful person. He gave the money to Baishui and asked him to supply them with a big bag of sunflower seeds on time next month. Taking Lu Yu away from the noisy scene of singing, reciting and fighting, the whole person was refreshed after leaving the theater.

"Let's go, let's pick an ox cart." Bai Shui weighed the money in his hand and pulled Lu Yu all over the streets and alleys with a smile, his heart was as warm as the sun at this time.

There are fewer hawkers selling food on the street now. I am afraid that after breakfast time, there are more odds and ends, such as rouge, silk for women, and wooden toys for children. It's shouting loudly.

"Lu Yu, how old is your sister?"

"I'm 17 years old, two years behind me." Lu Yu was puzzled by Bai Shui's question, what is this person going to do?

"It's so old, I thought she was only fifteen or sixteen, and it's time to dress up. Go and pick a gift for her."

Bai Shui didn't think too much about it, he just felt a little sorry that he had been going to town recently, but he didn't show his heart to the child.How can I say that the child is the only little angel of justice in the Lu family, even if she doesn't bring food to Lu Yu, she should thank her, after all, this girl has given Lu Yu a lot of happiness.

At this time, Bai Shui didn't know that the focus of his life had become Lu Yu.

"Choose any gift, and she will be satisfied if you cook her a good meal." Lu Yu wanted to stop Bai Shui from walking towards the small stall. Can make money and spend money.

"I'm buying something for your own sister. Why are you so reluctant? Earn money after you spend it. If you save it, you won't have children. Trust me."

For the first time, Bai Shui covered Lu Yu's slightly fleshy cheeks with both hands, the warm touch was so soft that his heart was in a mess, and gradually he felt that his face was a little hot, so he put down his hands just now, turned around and began to pick things out.

This action made Lu Yu really stop talking, and could only follow Bai Shui silently with a blushing face, waiting for Bai Shui quietly.But my heart was beating wildly uncontrollably, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.

In the end, Bai Shui put his eyes on the rouge of the salesman. During these days of crossing, he also met a lot of people in Jingchuan. Some girls were smeared like the costume dramas he usually watched, but Lu Wenyue was like this. There is a clear stream among the girls, everyone has this love of beauty, I am afraid that the family refused to give her money to decorate herself, so they simply bought two boxes of rouge and gouache, and gave them to Lu Yu.

"Come on, this time we have to get down to business."

Seeing that Lu Yu had packed his things, Bai Shui walked side by side to the cattle and horse market that deviated from the bustling streets. This cattle and horse market was as busy as the bustling streets before.

The only difference is that the first is the smell of food, while the latter is the animal smell of cows and horses. Bai Shui and Lu Yu walked around in this all-animal market, and they seemed to be shopping around in their eyes. In fact, Bai Shui was very guilty at this time, if he was said to be an expert in business, but it was really hard for him to buy an old cow.

"Lu Yu, have you ever understood animals?" Seeing that Lu Yu blinked his eyes incomprehensibly, Bai Shui said again, "I mean, you might choose this cow well?"

"Since I was a child, I helped Aunt Mi let go of the cattle. I know something about it. For example, this one looks energetic, but its body is a little thinner, and the cultivated land will be left behind by other cattle." It turns out that Baishui also doesn't understand. , It really embarrassed him, a full-fledged farmer, thinking that it was finally time to play his role, Lu Yu's voice also rose, and he walked around, helping Bai Shui to explain with his mouth not idle.

Bai Shui listened intently, and finally fixed his eyes on an old cow with a khaki-yellow background and white flowers, pointed to the "moo" old cow and said, "How about this one? What you said is good about it. Take it all."

This cow does not look like other old cows in the same color. The yellow background and white flowers are very pleasing to look at. The eyes are bright and round like copper bells. Under the introduction of the cow seller, it opened its mouth. The teeth are neat and it screams. Hong Liang, at a glance, he could tell that he was a young and strong cow who had just grown up.

After Lu Yu took a look at the other cows, he felt that this cow was not only good-looking, but also very suitable for his own requirements. The most important thing was that Bai Shui liked it, so he agreed.

Bai Shui also bought the cart used for tying the oxen. The ox cart is dark maroon throughout, and the carpentry work is good. The planing is exquisite and flawless, and the wheels are round and hard.

As Baishui, who is proficient at driving in modern times, it may not be able to drive an ox cart. Ever since he and Lu Yu got on the old ox cart, Baishui has driven the old ox cart tottering, making Lu Yu laugh constantly.
