Red House Farm Stay

Jia Qin's death made the Wang family heave a sigh of relief. Wannian County's biggest worry was eliminated, and Jia Zhuo was finally able to go out without worrying about anything.

Wang Gou'er still went to be a middleman. He knew that he had little advantage in the county, so he specialized in accepting the kind of business that wanted to buy land and small villages outside.He knows the land, the market conditions of the land better, and how to deal with the people in the city.The most important thing is to break up business with other middlemen, but he is very busy.

When Grandma Liu saw that it was spring, she asked Mrs. Liu to take out the pickles sealed in the kitchen, and asked Wang Gou'er to take time to sell these pickles by the pier.

"It's okay." Liu Shi has lived in the countryside almost since birth, so it's not as good as her mother's familiarity with the city.

"Why not, the mouth of people on the boat is the most tasteless, and some people are seasick and vomit. Our pickles are filled with chili peppers, which is the most appetizing. Once the altar is opened, the smell will waft, and someone will come to buy it, Xiao. I have already prepared the jar, and I will seal the jar in front of others. Carrot sticks are fifty cents a jar, and small fish babies are one hundred cents a jar."

These two kinds of pickles are made by Grandma Liu's pressed box. No one will talk about them after eating them. The addition of chili makes the taste even more positive.

"I go."

"I'll go as well."

Jia Zhuo and Qing'er raised their heads, and when they saw the jar of pickles, they began to swallow their saliva, and they could almost smell the sour taste after the jar was sealed.With these pickles, you can eat two big bowls of rice without using any other dishes.

"Okay, you all go." Grandma Liu smiled and the wrinkles on her face stretched out.In the past few days, Wang Gou'er has been plowing the land at home, as usual in the countryside, and plans to grow some vegetables and peppers at home.

Holding two large jars and a basket of cleaned small jars, they got into the mule cart. Wang Gou'er drove the cart, and Mrs. Liu took the two children up.I went to the pier early in the morning to see if the pickled vegetables were selling well.

"Father, let's rent the spinning wheel back, okay?" When Liu arrived in the city, he was not used to it for a while, and panicked, discussing it with Wang Gou'er in the car.

"You rent the spinning wheel back and step on it, and the board is still studying. Don't think about these things. The three children grew up with the wind, and you have to be busy." Wang Gou'er sat in front of the car and drove the car without turning his head. , directly rejected Liu's proposal.

As soon as she heard that it affected Baner's study, Liu stayed silent. In fact, she wanted to rent it back so that in addition to earning more income, she could also teach her daughter more self-defense skills.

But thinking of Wang Gou'er's temper, he didn't speak.Earlier, she wanted to ask her daughter to embroider some handkerchiefs and send them to the shop to earn some pocket money, but Wang Gou'er was not happy.He was afraid that he would really get angry if he taught his daughter to step on a spinning wheel.

He didn't like it and didn't say it clearly. He would give the county magistrate's wife an embroidered screen for a while, and a birthday gift for the county magistrate's wife for a while. In this way, the daughter would have no time to embroider handkerchiefs and sell them.Sometimes Liu thinks about it and finds it funny, no matter how stupid he is, he is still a woman, okay?She can still understand such small thoughts.

When he got to the place, Wang Gou'er stood guard in the car, moved the big jar to the ground, and started yelling.

"Delicious road dishes, fresh, fragrant and appetizing."

Seeing Wang Gou'er yelling like this, Jia Zhuo and Qing'er also learned how to yell. From time to time, someone came over and shook their heads when they asked the price, thinking it was too expensive.

"The ingredients we use are good, clean and delicious." Jia Zhuo and Qing'er kept explaining to others.But after a long time, only a few small jars were sold.

If this continues, the work of the four people will be delayed here. Jia Zhuo became a little anxious, and ran over when he saw a small vegetable seller not far away.Mrs. Liu just treated it as a greedy child and didn't care.

After a while, Jia Zhuo came back, holding two bowls in his arms, Qing'er stretched his neck to look, but saw that there were two empty bowls, and couldn't help being discouraged.

"Quickly, add it." Jia Zhuo didn't explain, and added pickled radish and small fish to the two bowls respectively, and Qing'er and Qing'er walked forward with one each.

Although they said they were at the pier, they were actually on the street where the pier landed.Just take up a place temporarily, and Wang Gou'er has taken care of it, otherwise he can't do business here.

Holding the bowls in their hands, the two of them ran directly to the place where the boats were moored. When they saw the kind of merchant ships with people or passengers, they raised their clear voices, "Delicious pickles, sour and sweet pickled radishes, eat them!" After eating the fresh and fragrant little fish, the appetite will be whetted after the meal. Try it for free, and you don’t need money if it’s not good.”

"You can try it, little girl, come here and let me try it." Finally someone got out of the cabin, picked up a piece, and asked before swallowing it, "Where can I buy it? What is enough for this half bowl?" .”

"Our adults are on the shore, next to the mule cart. If you call grandma Lucai, someone will answer."

With a clever move, Jia Zhuo temporarily named Lu Cai.

The maid-looking person smiled, jumped off the boat, and really went.

Jia Zhuo and Qing'er looked at each other. Seeing the effect, Qing'er let go of her shyness and shouted along with Jia Zhuo, "Grandma's food is free. If it's not good, you don't need money."

Sure enough, with the tasting, no matter how expensive the price was, few people called it expensive, especially those who got off the official ship, and they bought several pots once they bought it.The pickles that hadn't been sold for half a day were all sold out in just an hour. Mrs. Liu didn't dare to count the money on the road, so she kept urging Wang Gou'er to go back quickly.

When I went back, I used a rope to string a thousand copper coins into a string, and sold a total of seven thousand copper plates, which was almost seven taels of silver.

Grandma saw them stringing ropes, and her face was full of smiles, "We have a lot of fish and shrimps here, and we grow radishes and peppers by ourselves. Two jars of soy sauce, plus those small jars, cost about five or six taels of silver." It’s not bad enough to get one or two profits for the cost.”

"Isn't it? Some people came from other places. I heard that our Xiao Yuzai only sells for a hundred pennies a jar. I can't believe it." Liu said, happily putting away the stringed copper plates.

He touched another twenty steel plates and handed them to the little sister, "Go buy candy."

Qing'er took it with a smile, and took Jia Zhuo to the intersection to buy her favorite lollipop.

"Is there any more at home?" Mrs. Liu was eager to sell them for a few more days.

"Just these two jars, don't you think I make too much. If it sells well, just buy some more and make it." Grandma Liu heard her daughter say that Jia Zhuo also named it Grandma Lucai, and smiled. The meaning is getting deeper.

"That's a good thing, I'll go buy radishes and fresh young fish tomorrow morning." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu quickly agreed.Mother didn't say that these were for sale. If she had said it earlier, she wouldn't think it was too much.

One tael of silver a day, 30 taels a month, one year... Mrs. Liu almost passed out.

"This is the first time we sell it. Because we have tasted it, people think it is fresh, and naturally there are many people who buy it. How can we have such a good business every day? Does it not thunder, wind or rain? Besides, you can do it, others It can be done, and it can be sold cheaper than you. When your business is good, the people who manage it will also increase their prices, inside and out, it’s not your turn to monopolize it.”

Grandma Liu knew what her daughter was thinking, and hit her unceremoniously. If doing business was so simple and everyone would get rich, would it be their turn?

It's not that no one makes sour radish and small fish, it's just that no one brings them to others for tasting like they do.

When Mrs. Liu heard what her grandma said, she was immediately discouraged. She thought she could make a fortune, but in the end she was happy for nothing.

"However, you can always make more money. With such a big family, you can't sit and eat." The Wang family is used to ups and downs. Even if they have a small family now, no one dares to relax for a moment.Mrs. Liu took Grandma Liu's words seriously.

"That's okay, my mother and I will study hard. I used to think that this is nothing. Now, look at it. It's no worse than spinning a spinning wheel." Liu nodded and decided to bring Qing'er along. Spinning the wheel and learning to make pickles are also a craft.

"Brother." Qing'er and Jia Zhuo each held a candy bar, and when they saw Ban'er coming back from school, Qing'er greeted him with a smile.

Jia Zhuo slid up against him, and saw half a footprint on the back of his gown with sharp eyes.Glancing at Qing'er, Jia Zhuo didn't speak.The three of them talked and laughed and went back, only to hear laughter in the yard. Mrs. Liu and grandma were discussing about making pickles, talking more and more vigorously.

"Father, is it in the backyard? I'll help him." Ban'er knew that the family was plowing the field these few days, so he went back to the house and changed his clothes.

"This kind of work is not a big deal. You go back to your house to study, but my husband told you to catch up with the progress." Wang Gou'er saw his son holding farm tools, so he drove him into the house.

"It's okay. After reading for a day, I don't move around, and I always feel uncomfortable." Ban'er and his father discussed what to plant at home, and talked about the land in Xiaodongshan. Wang Gou'er was going to live in the countryside for a few days, sowing At that time, he must be watching, and Yoko alone can't rest assured.

"Who is going with dad, is it mother?" It's impossible to have no woman to take care of her, and she can't eat cold steamed buns and pickles every day.

"Your mother has gone, who will cook for you." Wang Gou'er shook his head.

"It's okay, let mother go, Qing'er is very capable now, let's eat simple." Ban'er said.

"Let's see again, your mother may not be willing to go, she is so happy from ear to ear today."

When talking about the pickles, Ban'er also laughed, "Grandma's cooking is delicious."

Sour radishes are quick to marinate, and they will be ready in a few days, while small fish will be marinated for half a month.Mrs. Liu went to Xiaodongshan with Wang Gou'er. The sour radish at home was well pickled, and if it was kept longer, it would not be crispy.

Jia Zhuo and Qing'er discussed it, and they decided to go by themselves, but grandma naturally refused to let him, and Ban'er refused to listen.In the end, Ban'er took a day off and took his two younger sisters with him before going to the pier.

This time there was only a jar of sour radish, and I hired a donkey cart to deliver it to the pier.When it was sold out and there was only one big jar left, they didn't take the car, and Baner carried the empty jar on his back, and walked home with their two younger sisters.

"Brother Ban'er, are you getting along well with your classmates in school?" Jia Zhuo finally found a chance and asked Ban'er.

"Very good." No matter what he asked about the school, Ban'er said yes. Jia Zhuo had never doubted it before, but now he refused to believe it.

"Then last time, there was half a footprint on the back of your gown. Don't tell me that you were playing around with your classmates. If you play around again, you won't get on your pedals." Punching each other a few times, there is no use kicking, it is clearly a fight.

"Don't worry, they can't beat me. A group of city kids, even if they grow up so big, they have never carried anything that weighs two or two." Ban'er smiled, knowing that he couldn't hide it from her, but he still wrote lightly.

"Master, don't you care?" Jia Zhuo had been studying for more than ten years in another time and space, but he didn't know that this was not just about fighting.

Working together to tease a person is very harmful to the psychology.What's more, it's impossible to guard against teasing people. Maybe it won't do anything to you, but it will embarrass you so much that you can't lift your head up.For teenagers, losing face is even more difficult to accept than being beaten.

"Master...he doesn't like to take care of these things." Ban'er smiled wryly, all the masters in the school have their eyes above the top, and none of them are watching people order.Although he worked very hard in his studies, all the children from poor families worked hard, so it didn't seem that he was special.

Children from rich families love to tease children from poor families and newcomers. Most of them dare not speak up and endure in silence, and when they get tired of it, let it go.

Pian Ban'er is not a submissive, if they dare to bully, he dares to resist.When fighting in private, Ban'er can beat several of them by himself.After all, they were the ones who had cultivated the fields, endured hardships, and done physical labor. They were beaten to the flesh, making them cry for their fathers and mothers.

Another characteristic of Ban'er beating people is that they never hit people in the face, but greet these people's stomachs.It doesn't look like a big deal, but it's actually painful.These people were terrified of being beaten by him, and they stopped for a while.

But from their eyes, Ban'er could see that they had suffered such a big loss, how could they give up.

It's just that Ban'er is not afraid, the water from the left and right will flood the soil and the soldiers will block it.

"Brother Ban'er, there must be one or two good friends in the school. If anything happens, remember to ask him to report back. Don't take it seriously. Children are no more likely to act inappropriately than adults. Things come." Adults are still afraid, and they will weigh the pros and cons, but children often rely on their momentary courage, and they may make a deadly move without even knowing it.

"Okay, I won't worry you."

Seeing that the board agreed, Jia Zhuo was a little relieved, but it was a pity that she was a girl and could hardly get involved in things like schools.I had no choice but to look at the board worriedly, hoping that he could really handle it.

Qing'er has been drilling into other people's embroidery shops all the way, looking at the most popular patterns and colors, and then slowly pondering when she gets home.

Ban'er was carrying a big basket with jars of pickles in it. He smelled like sour radish, so he didn't go into the store, but stood outside talking to Jia Zhuo, waiting for Qing'er to look after it before leaving together.

Behind the curtain of this embroidery shop, a small head popped out suddenly, and beckoned a clerk to go in.After a while, the clerk came out and walked up to Qing'er who was not entertained at all.

"Is that someone from your family standing outside?" the man asked, pointing to the board.

Qing'er thought it was the guys who thought they were blocking the gate, so she blushed and said, "We'll leave right away."

"It's okay, it's okay for the girl to take a closer look, I'm just asking." The man's friendly face made Qing'er relax.

"Well, those are my brother and my sister." Qing'er said with a smile without any doubts.

That black boy is your elder brother, but that tall girl is your elder sister, she is really tall, she doesn't look like her at all.The guy cursed a few words in his heart, then turned his head and walked towards the door curtain.

"Is there anything you like? If you have one, buy it and take a good look at it when you go home." Ban'er has a monthly bill of [-] Wen since he entered the school. A younger sister bought snacks or gifts.

Qing'er shook her head, "I know how to embroider myself, why buy someone else's, I'm here to steal my teacher." She stuck out her tongue mischievously, and she laughed.

Ban'er didn't know at all that after they left, a skinny boy in this embroidery shop was whispering to someone, "I never thought that Wang Tianzuo, a piece of black charcoal, would have two such beautiful younger sisters."

"It's hidden under the armpit and we've seen it." The fat boy said proudly.

"That's right, we can't beat him, can't we beat his sister?" A thinner boy echoed.

The fat white boy gave the skinny boy a look, "Look at your useless look, am I the kind of person who beats women?"

"Hey, boss, I was wrong, so why do you ask me if she is Wang Tianzuo's younger sister?" It turned out that the skinny boy was the son of the owner of the embroidery shop.

"You can't fight, it's okay to play tricks." The fat boy said with a smile.

"Even if the boss tells you, what should we do." The skinny boy flattered him.

"Let me think about it." The fat boy pretended to be an adult, stroked his chin, and looked up at the sky from time to time.

This time I brought my younger sister back, and my grandma’s food was still sold out due to its good taste, but obviously it took much longer than last time.Sure enough, when I saw those selling road vegetables, they all started to hold a bowl and invite people to try it.It seems that although this business can be done, it is still unrealistic to rely on it to support a family.It's okay to subsidize the family.

Grandma counted the copper coins, and she was very satisfied that a pot of sour radish could earn [-] Wen after the cost was removed.

"Grandma, a lot of people have asked me how to pickle the spicy taste." Ban'er laughed straight away. In fact, the Wang family all know that it is the effect of chili peppers, but there is no such thing in the market, so naturally no one can taste it.

"This is grandma Lucai's trump card, how can I tell others." Jia Zhuo interjected as he strung up the copper coins with a smile.

Grandma Liu was talking and laughing with Jia Zhuo at Kanbaner, even more happily than counting copper coins just now.

"The sour radish will not be pickled for the time being, and there is still a jar of small fish, we will keep it for ourselves. When your father comes back, we will make it again." Ban'er is going to school, not because he is afraid that the jar of sour radish will be wasted, grandma said He didn't want him to ask for leave.

"Okay, I'll go and water the vegetable patch." Wang Gou'er is not at home, and the first thing Ban'er does after school every day is to tend the vegetable patch.

Ban'er eats at home every morning, and then takes lunch to school.There is a large stove in the school, and everyone's food boxes are put in to steam, and after heating, everyone eats their own food.People who are more particular will send a servant to deliver it, and those who are not particular, just take two steamed buns, steam them so that they are not rare, just take them out and eat them.

Of course, the school also provides food, and it is free, as long as the master thinks you are qualified, you can eat free food.Sounds good, but few people want to accept this benefit.

Apart from not killing people, free food has no other benefits that can be mentioned.The Wang family moved to the city mostly because of their son, of course it is impossible for him to eat such a meal.

Jia Zhuo originally offered to give it to him, but Ban'er firmly disagreed, no matter what he said.The Wang family doesn't care about these things, just bring them if you want.

Carrying the food box and carrying the book bag, Ban'er strode out the door.

Jia Zhuo went to water the vegetable field, and just halfway through watering, he heard a knock on the door, and Qing'er, who was busy in the kitchen, opened the door.

Jia Zhuo put down the water ladle and went out, and saw a thin boy talking to Qing'er.

"Your brother's book was left at home. My wife changed the class yesterday. I don't know if your brother didn't come. You should send it to him quickly."

Qing'er became anxious when he heard that, Jia Zhuo asked, "What book?"

"The Analects of Confucius." The skinny boy finished speaking, "I sneaked out, and I won't be going back to school. By the way, I will send a message for Wang Tianzuo. Send it to me. I'm leaving." After finishing speaking, he really ran away.

Jia Zhuo went into the room and took Ban'er's book, Qing'er took it over and said, "I'll go and deliver it."

Qing'er was dressed neatly and could leave immediately, while Jia Zhuo was wearing patched clothes because he had to water the vegetable field, and had to change when he went out.

"That's fine, you go early and come back early."

After watering the vegetable field, grandma put on her clothes and pushed open the door. After she got older, she couldn't sleep well. Mrs. Liu bought her a pill to calm the nerves, and she had to walk away before she woke up slowly. .

"I seemed to hear a sound just now." Grandma Liu took the basin Jia Zhuo brought to her and began to wash her face.

"That's right, Qing'er has sent books to Brother Ban'er, I changed clothes to pick them up." Jia Zhuo saw his grandma get up, so he went to change clothes in peace.

She had almost walked to the school, but she didn't see Qing'er returning, so she couldn't help frowning. Qing'er knew that there was someone waiting for her at home, so she would never play outside alone.

Could it be that she was delayed in the school, what can she do to keep her in the school?Jia Zhuo quickened his pace and went to the school to find the board.

"What, Qing'er hasn't been here, how is it possible?" Jia Zhuo exclaimed in surprise, Ban'er's expression also changed, the two of them looked at each other, and understood what was going on without words.

"Despicable." Ban'er's eyes were about to burst into flames, and he couldn't deal with him, so he stretched out his hand on his sister.

"Look for them first, Qing'er's safety is more important than anything else." Jia Zhuo saw his muscles bulging and scurrying around like a little mouse under the thin clothes, so he grabbed him anxiously.What's the use of beating people, save them first.
