Lenggong Prince Farming Story

Early in the morning on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there was a lot of noise outside.

Just listening to Xiao Xiao, he knew that these people were going to the town to go to the market early in the morning. The nearest town to Yu, Daaozi Village, was more than an hour's walk away.Although most of the people in the village would go to the plain market on the other side for more than half an hour's walk to buy things, they would go to towns with rich supplies during the holidays.

It is now the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the Pingyuan market was originally a small street, and it caught up with the big market in the town, so even if the market opened, there were not many sellers. City J is not a developed city, and the small towns under him will not be very developed, but there are many villages here, and there are quite a lot of people gathered here.

And there are some special folk customs of its own here, so the streets and shops in the town are still very interesting.

Da Aozi Village is poor, and the terrain is mountainous. Although it is relatively rich compared with the small villages in the deep mountains, it is incomparable with the villages in the plains. It is a very face-saving thing to have a farming crawler (that is, a small motor vehicle for farming) that can replace the cattle.

It's a pity that in Da'aozi Village, except for the two excited tricycles owned by the Jin family before, the others are still honest farmers.Therefore, it is necessary to get up early to go to the market or something.

People in rural areas hurry up early, buying vegetables and doing business even earlier.If you want to buy something on the street, you'd better get up early, or you won't even have anything left.

Xiao Xiao turned over and got up immediately when he heard the noise outside.

In the kitchen, the old man who had already integrated into the family's life well got up early in the morning, cheerfully cooked a big pot of sticky porridge, and used a steamer to heat up the pastry Xiao Xiao made the day before.Stir-fried bacon omelette with garlic sprouts, spicy cabbage and shredded pork with cavity vegetables are served with three side dishes.

I have to say that although this old man didn't know if he was like his grandma said that his fingers don't touch the spring water, but now he is very good at cooking food. Although the dishes are simple, the taste is definitely not bad.

When Xiao Xiao ate breakfast and snacks made by the old man for the first time, he was still amazed for a long time. Even grandma couldn't believe that the former young master could cook such homely dishes.

From this, it can be seen that the old man did suffer a lot back then.

The breakfast dishes are simple, and because the family has chickens, there is no shortage of eggs, so in the past few days, in addition to making some side dishes, each person can eat an egg in the morning.

The family is having a delicious hot breakfast.Under my grandmother's instructions, I wrote down the things I wanted to buy today, and got on the eastbound car to the town.

It hasn't rained recently. Although the mountain road is not early, it is not full of potholes.So, in 10 minutes, the two arrived in the town.

Glancing at the stalls in the town, although there are not many people now, the densely packed stalls tell people that there must be a lot of people at this moment.So, Xiangdong drove the car directly to the courtyard of the police station in the town.Recently, because Daaozi Village started to open a meal, Xiangdong and the others have already become familiar with the people in this town.

Xia Yu Tianyan asked Xiangdong to walk around by himself, and made an appointment to come back before eleven o'clock.So I took Xiao Xiao to go shopping by myself.

The main task of the two today is to buy seeds.

However, for the grocery shopping that grandma ordered in the morning, before going to buy seeds, I can buy it easily.

Vegetable prices at this moment are not as expensive as they were years ago. After all, the New Year's festival has passed this year.Nowadays, people don’t have such a big heart for comparison. If it is more expensive now, let alone vegetables, no one will buy even meat.

Although the two of them guessed that the seeds thrown into the space before might have been planted and matured to eat, but some of them still had to be bought if they didn't have enough space.

Glancing at the surrounding stalls, Xiao Xiao began to sigh in his heart that the development of the times also drives the vegetable basket.Otherwise, look, this town is really a small town. Although there are many people shopping for vegetables, there are almost no off-season vegetables. It is nothing more than Chinese cabbage, white radish, lotus root, yam, sweet potato, potato, etc. that were stored last winter. .As well as spinach, green vegetables, garlic sprouts, carrots, coriander, green onions, leeks and the like that are still growing in the ground.Mushrooms and fungus are also available, but they are all dry.

Since there is nothing new.Xiao Xiao simply bought a few items that he didn't have at home, such as yam, lotus root, tofu, bean sprouts, etc.Is it Lantern Festival?Of course there are quite a few people who buy glutinous rice balls, but it's a pity that Xiao Xiao made several kinds of glutinous rice balls yesterday when he was making cakes.Even if you don't like eating glutinous rice balls, you can still eat a few.He asked himself whether the glutinous rice balls made by the imperial chef were not as good as those on the street that were only wrapped in brown sugar.

Liberty Street shops have always been miscellaneous, unlike the vegetable market, where everything you buy is with what you buy.

In some villages, when buying vegetables, they will bring chickens, ducks, eggs, etc. from home to buy together.

So, when Xiao Xiao finished buying lotus root, he found a few healthy-looking Golden Flower Chickens with pink combs.Well, the old hen grandma at home is reluctant to eat, but the old man's body was overworked before, and now he has to make up for it if he wants to get better.The old hen a few days ago was bought from the urban area by Xia Yuran, who asked the construction team to be in charge of buying vegetables.

So, without further ado, he immediately ordered five fat old hens that the village woman who bought potatoes had caught from home.One winter, because of the cold weather, most of the chickens didn't lay eggs very much, so the fat, local chickens in the village also gave it a weight of four to five catties.Even if its fur and internal organs weigh more than a catty, the meat must weigh three catties!Really fat.

Thinking of the stewed old hen soup, Xiao Xiao felt his saliva drool.

After being teased by Xia Yutianyan, the guy turned around and quickly called Xiangdong.

These five fat chickens, Xiao Xiao, didn’t want to catch them back and trouble him to kill them. If they were caught, grandma would definitely not be willing to kill such fat chickens, so he asked the village woman to help them get it to a place that specializes in killing chickens, and paid ten yuan. Manual fee, let people kill and clean.

After that comes meat and fish. There is no shortage of these things. After all, this mountainous depression has not developed much. Almost every small puddle can catch a fish, and every household raises pork.It's a better day now, and those who buy meat during the festivals almost never have anything left.

Xiao Xiao and the others finished getting up, but they had a car, so those who left half an hour earlier than others could arrive at least an hour earlier.Therefore, catch the fish when it is good, and take the meat when it is good.Both Xiao Xiao and Xia Yu Tianyan like to eat pig meat, and when they saw that the meat buyer had fresh pork knuckles and pig meat, they packed them without saying a word.

There are a lot of people at home recently, and the consumption of meat is very fast.At that time, the new old man also took great care of grandma.So, Xiao Xiao cut another five catties of pork belly and bought a freshly killed rabbit.

As soon as the meat was bought, Xiang Dong brought a group of young men over with the five fat old hens that Xiao Xiao killed just now.He took all the vegetables in Xia Yu Tianyan's hands and the things he bought at this moment.

So far, what grandma explained has been successfully completed.

Finished what grandma did, next came the seeds.

Although it is not yet March, it is already possible to plant trees.

Spring planting always has an exciting component.

When Xiao Xiao was shopping for vegetables just now, he saw many people bringing their grape vines, pear trees, and peach trees to sell.

However, he just asked.

You must know that the ones who actually buy this thing here are still at the temple.

People go to the small temple over there to offer incense on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. When they come down, they can’t help but take a few back when they see fruit trees or something. Even if they can’t grow all of them, at least one or two can survive. , when the time comes, the child will have fruit to eat.

Xiao Xiao didn't go directly there, after leaving the side where the vegetables were bought, the next area was the center of the town, and all the stalls in this area were people from the town.Vegetable seeds are also bought here.

Xiao Xiao stopped at a place where a loudspeaker shouted to buy seeds.

According to the sound from the speaker, these seeds were all shipped from a certain factory.Xiao Xiao doesn't care about this, what he cares about is whether this kind of seed is good or not.There are many people who simply buy.Some bosses also opened it for those who know how to grow vegetables.

These seeds have their own packaging, and you can tell what they are at a glance. Xiao Xiao squats over there and chooses carefully, such as cauliflower, celery, lettuce, small green vegetables, cowpeas, peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, bamboo shoots, cucumbers, and watermelons. , melon, cantaloupe, winter melon, pumpkin, etc. choose two packs of each.

These seeds don't matter, the ordinary ones are one yuan a pack, and the most expensive ones are like cantaloupe, watermelon, etc., which cost three yuan and five a pack.Xiao Xiao packed a lot with 50 yuan.

The boss was kind, thinking that this was his big customer, and sent several kinds of flower seeds.Only then did Xiao Xiao discover that the gift in the cardboard box behind the boss was flower seeds!

Xiao Xiao doesn't like growing flowers, but everyone loves flowers, regardless of men and women, people always go for beautiful things.

Of course Xiao Xiao knew why the boss took the flower seeds as gifts, because in the eyes of rural people, flowers are not edible, and most of them would not buy them.

So, he gave the boss ten yuan, and chose several edible and drinkable flower seeds in the box behind the boss.
