Master is not to be provoked

It was almost noon, before the collection was over, Ke Muai waved her hand: "It's sold out. If you want to buy it, come back in the next collection. I'll bring more mushrooms. I spend the summer picking mushrooms in the mountains." It’s better now, if you uncles and aunts like to eat, I will go to the mountains to pick them again in the next few days, and I will recite them all next time.”

Some people were dissatisfied: "I think there is still some in your bag, why don't you sell it?"

Ke Muai said: "Leave this to Grandpa Wu. I have occupied his place all morning, so I have to express my gratitude."

Everyone praised the kid for his conscience, and then left in twos and threes.

Ke Muai poured out the last remaining pine trees in the sack, which weighed more than a pound, and carried it into the house in a flower basket for Wu Shengli.

Originally, he set up a stall in front of the door, although it was only in the east corner, but the crowd gathered around occupied at least one-third of the place, so it would be difficult for the vehicles coming for repair to enter the yard, but fortunately, when the market was going, the crossroads were too crowded. Crowding, as long as it is not a particularly urgent problem, most people choose to wait until it is clean before repairing, which does not delay much work, but Wu Shengli is still not very happy.

Seeing that Ke Muai brought over a catty of mushrooms for him, she thanked him again and again, and then she felt a little more balanced: "How many mushrooms can you bring in total, keep them for yourself and sell them, and leave me anything else." Having said that, he still took the mushrooms without hesitation, handed them to his wife to wash, and stewed potatoes for lunch.

Today, because of going to the market, few people came to repair cars. Xu Leyang died after sticking to two tires. He felt very sorry for Ke Muai. There was no one to protect him. It was a hot day to carry more than 20 kilograms of mushrooms to sell, which really made people panic. After finishing his work, he washed his hands, greeted Wu Shengli, and brought Ke Muai out. : "Let's go, uncle will take you to the restaurant and eat your favorite wonton."

He secretly felt sorry for Ke Muai, but in fact, the reborn Ke Muai felt sorry for him in his heart, feeling sorry for his uncle's end like that: "Okay, uncle, it's the first time I've made money today, so I'll treat you to a grilled chicken rack." .”

The so-called restaurant is nothing more than a snack bar with three or four tables selling buns and noodles.

The nephew and uncle found a "Guo's snack bar", and ordered two bowls of wontons and a grilled chicken rack. Ke Muai insisted on ordering a bottle of beer for his uncle, and then secretly went to pay the bill. [-] yuan, [-] yuan for a chicken stand, [-] yuan for a bottle of beer, a total of [-] yuan and [-] cents.

Xu Leyang tore apart the chicken rack, handed the meatiest shoulders and waist to his nephew, picked up the chicken ribs and ate them himself: "Did your father beat you again these days?"

"No." Ke Muai shook his head, "My dad doesn't come home very often these days, I cook and eat by myself, and I'm having a great time."

Xu Leyang snorted coldly: "He just got the money, so naturally he has to go out and enjoy himself, and sooner or later he will die to stop it."

Ke Muai only ate two wontons and said he was full after eating the wontons. Xu Leyang didn't eat too much, so he asked the owner of the snack department for a plastic bag, and put nearly half of the remaining chicken racks in it for Ke Muai: "You take Go back and eat, don't let your dad see."

When paying the bill, I found that Ke Muai had already given the money, so Xu Leyang didn't say anything, but had to take out ten yuan and stuff it into his nephew's clothes: "How can you spend money for dinner with uncle? Your mother is gone, and in the future Keep an eye on everything, and hide the money well so that your dad won't see it." After finishing speaking, he patted Ke Muai's head, sent him to the entrance of the town, and then went back to the car repair shop.

Holding the ten yuan, Ke Muai's eyes were a little red. His uncle was an apprentice, and Wu Shengli was in charge of food and housing here, but he was only paid 200 yuan a month, which translates to an average of more than six yuan a day. The meal cost my uncle nearly two days' wages.

Now that I have money, I can buy things and develop the world. Ke Muai returned to the town and bought six seeds of corn sorghum, black beans, soybeans, radishes, and cabbage. A bag of salt, fruit knives, and plastic buckets were put into flower baskets and sacks in bits and pieces, and they walked back with farm tools on their shoulders.

After crossing the big stone bridge and reaching a place where there were no people, he got into a pine forest beside the road and brought his things to the cave.

The eight savages were all there, and when they saw him coming, they immediately surrounded him happily.

Ke Muai led them out, chose a relatively flat open space on the gentle slope to the west, and led eight savages to clear the weeds with a sickle, pick up all the stones, first turn over the ground with a shovel, and then use a shovel to plan the ground. Out of the ditch, the eight savages were strong and strong, and even the women were more powerful than ordinary men. They were real female men, and they worked very fast. He ordered the ground to be turned and the ridges straightened.

The climate in the space is different from the outside. It’s already mid-September, and the trees outside have begun to drop their leaves, and the corn leaves in the field have also begun to turn yellow, but the space is still warm, sunny and humid, which is a bit like The meaning of spring, or that it is like spring all the year round, Ke Muai decided to give it a try and planted all six seeds. If winter enters soon, nothing else will survive, but he can still harvest some radishes and cabbages .

Ke Muai taught people to sow seeds by hand. He grew up in the countryside and has done all kinds of work, so he knows all about these things like the back of his hand.

It took the savages a few days to open up four acres of land. According to Ke Muai's plan, one acre of land was planted with corn, one acre of sorghum, one acre of soybeans and black beans, and one acre of radish and cabbage.

Ke Muai worked hard to make money, not only to go to the fair in Shiqiao Town, but also in the adjacent Caoting Town on February [-], and Baita Town on January [-], that is to say, every month except the [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th. Three days away, you can go to the market, but the journey is relatively far.

Ke Muai is the one who is not afraid of hardships. He rushed more than ten episodes in a row, sold more than 1000 catties of mushrooms, and earned more than 600 yuan. Most of them bought various utensils and put them in the space. Zhuang and the others bought tatami mats, added thick quilts, hot water pots, thermos bottles, and bought eight sets of clothes from people selling second-hand clothes in the streets. Each of them bought a set of military coats, but it was a pity that they didn't have that much money.

The eight people have finally gradually left the state of "savages" and entered a civilized society. They are fully dressed in clothes, pants, shoes and socks, wash their faces and bathe every day, clean up the cave, and cooking is no longer limited to roasting, but cooking, frying and stewing. , Started to use spoons and forks to eat, and Ke Muai also bought them chopsticks, but they haven't practiced well yet. They also started to learn to use simple words in communication, saying good morning and good evening.

The seeds in the ground germinated quickly. Ke Muai felt that the temperature was getting hotter every day. Outside, it was autumn and winter, but here it was spring and summer. So he quickly brought in more than 20 kinds of grain and vegetable seeds. Plant them.

He bought ten chickens from Aunt Wang across the door for them to raise, two males and eight females, and together with Qi Qin and the others, they built a chicken farm the size of a basketball court in the woods, made a fence with branches, and built chickens inside. Wo, the weather here is so warm, I believe it won't be long before we can see flocks of bright yellow chickens.
