Deep in the bamboo forest is my home

The youngest agreed, but he didn't think so in his heart.The He family has a small family, a brother matches a boy, which one doesn't find the right family, even if the He family's brother is a gift from God, but just give him a stepping stone, the Liang family really wants to propose marriage, can the He family not agree?Can you not rush to answer?

The youngest thought in his heart, naturally he didn't follow Liang Xiu's instructions in doing things, what to do every day, the He family left it alone, at most, when the uncles talked about the shortcomings of the parents, they asked for a while, and then Go back and report to Liang Xiu.

Three days after the family reunion, the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mu Sheng brought the shopkeeper of the restaurant to the small courtyard of He's family, and took away half of the lotus roots left in the pond.He also said that before winter, he wanted to walk around Gyeongju Port to see if there were any fresh vegetables and food, so that he could bring some back.The Mu family found the fleet and asked Boss He if he would like to set off on the same boat.

Boss He nodded with joy, and asked about the cost of borrowing the boat.

But Mu Sheng smiled and said, "I also borrowed the east wind from another family this time. I have a friend who often travels between the north and the south. He owns a fleet, the Downwind Fleet. The helms are all old people who have been at sea for more than ten years. , I am very familiar with the sea route to Gyeongju Port. As for the vacant shipping space, I dare not say anything else. I want to bring lotus roots with me when I go to Gyeongju Port this time, so I can see the merchants who sell them to the sea. Your family’s rice happens to be brought along too.”

"I'm afraid it's not very good." He Xiaohu, who had been silent all this time, said suddenly, "The friends of Mu Dong's family are thinking about their friendship. We may make it difficult for the owner to carry goods like this. The old people in the village have always hired a fleet of boats to travel Gyeongju Port has been there for many years, and the waterway is also familiar. I don’t think this matter will bother Mu Dong’s family.”

Mu Sheng looked sideways and smiled slightly, "No trouble. It's just that last time I heard He Momo mention that the waterway is difficult. I went back and asked some experts. They said that small boats are easy to be swept by wind and waves when they travel by water. If you encounter huge waves, otherwise, with the water potential of the Minjiang River, the big ship will not be afraid of wind and waves, and it will travel more safely and take less time than small boats."

Yang Yan'er looked at her son, and then at her own man, selfishly wishing that Boss He could get on the big boat of the Mu family, but there was meaning in his son's words, and Yang Yan'er also understood that the He family and the Mu family had no relationship or reason.Hit furniture once without spending money on a boat.When good things happened all at once, Yang Yan'er couldn't help but panic.Thinking about my own home, there is nothing to look at, a few pieces of land, and the pond that is more valuable. Apart from these, there is nothing else that Young Master Mu can fancy.

Yang Yan'er, who was thinking about things, gradually exerted all her strength in holding Xiao Si's arm, He Xiao Si was uncomfortable being hugged, babbling and screaming.

"If that's the case, my family will discount the price and give the money to the owner. Please ask the Mu owner to offer a price." He Xiaohu made up his mind, no matter what price Mu Sheng quoted, he said that his family was poor and couldn't afford it.

"Actually speaking, I also have selfish intentions." As soon as Mu Sheng finished speaking, the members of the He family all stared at him.Mu Sheng sighed inwardly, he was really impatient, he glanced at He Xiaohua who was sitting by the wall, and said slowly, "Papa He said that lotus root is easy to preserve, but from Baisha River to Qingzhou Port, the waterway is more difficult to say. Walk for ten days. During this period of time, I want to entrust the preservation of the lotus root to Father He, and I will find a buddy to follow me to learn."

Father He nodded again and again, saying that there was no problem, but his eyes slipped to his second son.Yang Yan'er breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as his arms relaxed, He Xiaosi felt comfortable and quiet.

He Xiaohu frowned and didn't speak.What Mu Sheng said sounds good, but He Xiaohu always has a feeling in his heart that Mu Sheng has other plans.

He Xiaohua didn't think as much as her family did. In business, it's not for nothing that others help you. Naturally, there will be rewards for helping.For the new dish of lotus root, I only reported a few of them. The Mu Dong family must want to order more, and then monopolize the market.He Xiaohua accepted Mu Sheng's help with peace of mind, and only planned to think about a few more dishes.

The matter of borrowing a ship to sell grain at Gyeongju Port was settled in this way.

Boss He approached He Xiaohu to ask how to store the lotus root. He Xiaohu slipped into He Xiaohua's room on the pretext of flipping through the book while his family was not paying attention.

He Xiaohua didn't want to be fooled, so she confessed to He Xiaohu.Weave the sunflower basket first, not the usual cylindrical shape, with a small opening at the top and a long middle, but elongated at the bottom, which can hold the whole lotus root. Put a layer of bamboo or wooden boards on the bottom first, and put a layer of lotus root. The lotus root is not used. Wash it, dry it together with the pond mud, put it down, and cover it with a layer of sand.Such a layer of lotus root, a layer of sand, a sunflower basket can be piled up six layers, the top is sealed with sand, and the thickness is about one finger long.

He Xiaohu did this and told Boss He the method.Boss He immediately led someone to weave sunflower baskets and prepare the sand.

A good day was chosen, and the fleet hired by Nanhe Village set sail from Baisha River.Mu Sheng and Boss He took the small boat sent by Shunfeng Fleet, and changed to the big boat when they arrived at the mouth of the Minjiang River.This time Yang Yan'er didn't want to stay at home and wait no matter what she said, she followed her all the way to the pier, and sent Boss He away wiping her tears.

Jia Xinger and Yang Dahe also came to the pier to watch the fleet set sail.Jia Xing'er found Yang Yan'er from the crowd, and the two held hands and talked about one thing.Yang Dahe also took part in the early spring childbirth test, but unfortunately he had to wait.Jia Xing'er thought that her son was good at studying, but working in the fields would be good.Who knew that when Yang Dahe was asked to go to the field, this kid actually ran away without a trace, and later pestered his wife to allow him to continue his studies.Speaking of these, Jia Xing'er sighed again, and praised He Jia Xiaozhu for being obedient and sensible, and knowing how to help the family share some burdens.

Yang Yan'er pursed her lips, responded with a smile, and said politely, Dahe looked clever, and he must be doing well in the future.

When mentioning her son, Jia Xinger frowned tightly.Turning around, I wanted to find my son, but I didn't expect him to run to the front, chasing after the fleet, yelling.Jia Xing'er tightened the handkerchief, secretly scolding the kid for not worrying.

Jia Xing'er's troubles diluted Yang Yan'er's sadness.Although he is still worried about Boss He, Fu Lang's thoughts can easily be taken away by other things, such as other family's worries, his own son's marriage, the younger brother's education and so on.After Boss He left for a few days, Yang Yan'er returned to normal.

He Xiaohua pestered He Xiaohu to take him to the pond at dawn or at dusk.After the autumn harvest, the lotus root should be kept for seeds, and the lotus root seeds will enter the dormant period.He Xiaohua told Boss He and He Xiaohu about the choice of lotus root seed early in the morning, but Xiaohua was still worried and had to see it for herself.

Choose lotus root with buds on the head of the lotus root, and insert the lotus seed obliquely in the pond. The pond water is kept at adult knee height during the day, and the pond water is kept at waist depth at night to keep the lotus root warm.

The bottom of He’s pond is sloping, with one side deep and one side shallow. The deep side is close to the Baisha River, where fish are raised; the shallow side is close to the Nanhe River, where lotus roots are grown.Baisha River and Nanhe River flow into the pond through drainage holes, and the holes are covered with fishing nets, so the fish raised in the ponds cannot enter Baisha River through the holes.When the Baisha River is in the dry season, stones are used to block the entrance of the cave to keep the water depth of the pond.

He Xiaohua carefully explained to Bai Lao Er, who was guarding the pond, and paid attention to adjusting the depth of the pond water to maintain the temperature of the pond.Bai Er looked at He Xiaohua strangely, thinking to himself that this little brother knows a lot.
