Traveling through mountains and rivers

Tao Qing and Ning Ze didn't go to bed immediately after returning, but picked out the peaches with the Tao family.

I didn't notice so much when picking peaches, but when I picked them slowly, I found many problems.

Some peaches have been bitten by insects, although they are not big, but they can still be seen. This kind of peaches must not be sold.

There are also some peach-shaped ones that are not very good-looking. These can be regarded as defective products and put aside until the end.

Some of them are relatively soft to the touch. This kind is too ripe and won't last long, so you should pick it out and keep it for yourself.

After selecting all the unsuitable ones, wipe off the mud on the peaches and sprinkle a little water to keep them fresh. The round peaches look very eye-catching.

There is no need to pack the peaches at night, and wait until the next morning to pack them, so that you don’t have to worry about the temperature of the peaches being too high to rot after you put them in your pocket.

Because there were too many peaches, when they picked one by one, it was already mid-moon outside, and the children were already sleepy and yawning.

At the end of the day, Tao's aunt drove them to bed. They will go to the street tomorrow, so it's okay to wake up late.

What the Tao family said was also to let them sleep for a while, anyway, it's almost the same now, Ning Ze didn't insist, and Tao Qing took the three children to wash, and then carried them back to the room to sleep.

The three children had always slept with Tao's family, but today they were carried back to their room by Ning Ze, which made Tao Qing a little puzzled.

"Ah Ze, there aren't enough beds here, and they won't be able to sleep even if you carry them here. Why don't you carry them to Ah Mo's side!"

Ning Ze explained, "It's okay, just for one night, squeeze first, you don't have to go to town with me tomorrow, just make a bed on the ground, let the children sleep with us at night, they are still young, let them sleep with us We can get closer when we sleep. I can’t take care of them during the day, and if I don’t care about them at night, I’m afraid the children will become estranged from us.”

Tao Qing naturally didn't want the children to be unfamiliar with them, so he agreed with Ning Ze's words without hesitation.

Ning Ze also felt that they spent too little time getting close to these children, none of them even had a name, and none of them had noticed this before, even though the original owner of this body had been there for so many years. But now that he has taken over, the three children and Tao Qing have become his responsibility, and he has to do everything he says with all his heart.

With the addition of three children, the small bed was indeed a bit crowded, but it was not too much to sleep in. The three children were not big, and the bed was only small, so it didn't take up much space.

Those who were tossed and tossed by them didn't fall asleep, so Tao Qing took a cattail fan to fan them, and he didn't start to sleep until the children were fast asleep.

Well, Ning Ze is also in the wave of deep sleep, there is nothing to worry about, and there is no need to be on guard all the time, Ning Ze falls asleep quite quickly.

……

The consequence of having too many people in the bed is that Ning Ze was woken up before dawn. Douzi crawled onto his chest at some point and lay down sound asleep. Ning Ze felt as if he was being crushed by a stone and could not breathe. , So I woke up.

It was still gray outside, and it looked like it was going to rain.

Ning Ze woke up and couldn't fall asleep, so he simply got up, got dressed and got out of bed.

Tao Qing was also awakened by Ning Ze's actions, and quickly asked him, "Aze, what's the matter? You woke up so early."

Ning Ze said in a low voice, "It's okay, I just woke up, get up and have a look, you continue to sleep, you slept late last night, you don't need to wake up so early."

Tao Qing heard Ning Ze say nothing was wrong, and then looked at the sky outside. Seeing that it was not yet dawn, Tao Qing didn't get up, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Ning Ze left the room, only to find that there were people who got up earlier than him when he went to the yard outside, and someone in the kitchen was already busy with the lights on.

Ning Ze went in to take a look, and found that it was Tao Anfulang, who called out, "Brother, why are you up so early?"

Tao Anfulang turned his head to look at the door, and found that it was Ning Ze, and he was a little surprised, "Oh, it's Yao Ze, aren't you going to town today? I'll get up early and make breakfast, and you will have something later Eat. Why do you get up so early?"

Ning Ze said, "Get up and take a look when you wake up, thank you, brother."

Tao Anfulang hurriedly said, "What's the hard work, anyway, you are cooking for the family. You are going out to make money today, so you have to be full."

Ning Ze smiled, didn't answer the words, stood at the door for a while, said hello to Tao Anfulang and left.

He went to wash his face, and seeing no one, he punched in the yard for a while.

At dawn, all the Tao family members got up except the children.

After Tao Deshu got up, he went to borrow someone else's ox cart, and the rest of the Tao family packed up and waited for him to come back for dinner.

The peaches were all packed in sacks, and the chaff left over from the rice grinding was placed inside to prevent them from being smashed when they were knocked on the road.

This time they planned to go with Tao Deshu, Ning Ze and Tao An, even if they had to move peaches, they would be enough.

It is estimated that they may not be able to return until the afternoon, and the rest of the Tao family will go to the mountains to pick peaches.

If you want to pick it, it is not so fast. After all, some trees are taller and cannot be picked standing up. You have to go up the tree, which takes a lot of effort.

But in order to make money, this effort is nothing to the Tao family.

Tao Deshu quickly lent the carriage back, and it belonged to a well-connected family, which was just a matter of one sentence.

When Tao Deshu came back, they could have dinner, and the family sat down to have breakfast.

After breakfast, I began to move the peaches to the ox cart, and tied them with hemp rope after they were put away so that they would not fall.

In fact, the bullock cart is moving so slowly, the chances of it falling off are really slim, but the Tao family looks at these peaches as if they were looking at silver. They are too nervous, and Ning Ze can only let them toss. Be careful. wrong.

It was still early, the sun was just showing half of its face, and there were almost no people walking in the village. Occasionally, they just greeted them, but no one asked them what they were doing in the town with the ox cart.

Tao Deshu and Tao An haven't been to the town for a long time, and every time they come, they feel something new, and they look around for a long time when they arrive in the town.

Ning Ze led Tao Deshu to Mo Qi's Jimin Hall, gave him a few peaches, and said hello to him, while Tao An stayed to watch the ox cart. When Ning Ze and the others came back, they would go directly to Master Wu's house .

Mo Qi was busy and didn't have time to greet Ning Ze and the others, so they left after a few words.

After going back to meet Tao An, he drove the ox cart directly to Wu's house.

Tao An sighed as soon as he arrived at the gate of Wu's house, "This house is really nice, this Mr. Wu is really rich."

Ning Ze didn't notice what the house looked like when he came here yesterday. Now that he took a closer look, he found that it was indeed quite grand, and it looked very big. Even if a family as big as the Tao family lived in it, it would definitely not be crowded. .

Like Tao An, Ning Ze can only envy and envy them in his heart. Who made them have no money? They can't afford such a good house, and they can't afford to repair it either. They can only see and feast their eyes.

Ning Ze said to Tao An, "Brother, don't worry, we will definitely be able to live in such a good house in the future."

Tao An smiled, and didn't answer the question, he was still very self-aware, he didn't know how much money would be enough for such a good house, with his ability, he would never even think about it in this life.

Ning Ze got out of the bullock cart and knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was the little brother Ning Ze met yesterday. The little brother met Ning Ze yesterday, so naturally he still remembered him. Come here, I don't know what is the so-called coming here today?"

Ning Ze said, "Be the one who agreed with Mr. Wu to deliver the goods today. Is your master there? I want to ask him to come out to inspect the goods. It's not convenient for me to come in with an ox cart."

The little brother glanced at the bullock cart behind Ning Ze, and then said to Ning Ze, "Wait a minute, I'll report it right away."

Ning Ze nodded, "Okay, so thank you little brother."

The little brother closed the door and went in. Ning Ze and the others were waiting at the door. Tao Deshu asked Ning Ze worriedly, "Yao Ze, can Master Wu want our peaches?"

Ning Ze smiled, "Father, don't worry, our peaches are not bad. Master Wu said yesterday that as long as the peaches are good, he wants them."

Tao Deshu was still a little worried, mainly because looking at the Wu family's house, he felt uncertain, which was completely different from the happy mood he felt when he heard Ning Ze's words last night.

Ning Ze didn't know how to comfort him, he had to wait for Master Wu to make a decision on this matter.

Ning Ze was in a hurry, when he suddenly heard the sound of opening the door from behind, followed by a voice, "Where is Taozi, didn't you say that Taozi is here? Where is it? Why didn't I see it?"

Hearing the bluffing voice, Ning Ze knew it was the young master of the Wu family.

He took two steps forward and said, "Master Wu, Tao Zi is here."

When Wu Yan heard Ning Ze's words, he immediately ran towards him, his eyes sparkling, "Where are the peaches? Quickly bring them out for me to taste."

This can't wait look, no matter how you look at it, it's funny.

But he is the young master, so this request must be satisfied.

Ning Ze asked Tao An to open a pocket, and took out two big and red peaches from it.

The young master of the Wu family looked at Taozi with brighter eyes, and immediately took Taozi over, rubbed it on his clothes twice, and then put it in his mouth.

The corner of Ning Ze's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.

But the servants following Wu Yan had a calm expression on their faces. Obviously, it was not the first time that Young Master Wu had done such an informal thing.

While Young Master Wu was eating peaches, Master Wu finally came out, looked at his son, and couldn't help cursing, "It's worthless, isn't it just a few peaches?"

Young master Wu didn't hear anything outside the window, he only ate peaches, and didn't hear his father's words at all.

When the Lord came, Ning Ze called out immediately, "Master Wu, we have sent peaches here, and we invite Master Wu to inspect the goods."

Master Wu came over with his hands behind his back, didn't ask any more questions, and just said to Tao An, "Open the pocket and let me see."

After Tao An heard this, he knew that there was something to be done about it, and quickly unwrapped the rope, lifted the sack that had just been opened, and took out several peaches from it to show Mr. Wu.

Master Wu is completely different from Young Master Wu. The peaches are only for viewing, not for eating. The specially selected peaches are naturally good. read it.

Just as Master Wu was about to speak, Young Master Wu, who had eaten two peaches over there, came over and said to his father, "Father, you can order these peaches, they are delicious, sweet and delicious, and still moist. many."

Master Wu was a godly assist, and Ning Ze gave him an extremely grateful look.

With what Master Wu said, and what Master Wu saw with his own eyes, Master Wu also became a little loose.

However, he still didn't agree immediately, but asked someone to fetch a knife, cut a piece of peach and tasted it himself.

Young Master Wu looked at his father with a slightly disgusted look from the side, thinking that his father was too ignorant.

Ning Ze is quite satisfied with Master Wu being so cautious, only in this way, once Master Wu agrees, the peaches behind him will be easy to sell.

After several sips, Mr. Wu finally said with a smile, "The boy is right, it is indeed a good thing. I want these peaches. Just like what I said yesterday, I will send you as many as you have here. It can't be any worse than today."

Hearing this, Ning Ze and Tao's father and son immediately beamed with joy. Ning Ze quickly thanked, "Thank you, Master Wu. Don't worry, Master Wu. The following peaches are only good, and they will definitely not be worse than this."

Master Wu said, "That's good, that's good."

Then he turned his head and said to the people behind him, "Go get the scale and weigh how much you have."

"Yes, sir."
