The Sweet Little Fulang

The mountain road is rugged, and the journey is tiring and difficult, but the full load of prey fills the heart with enthusiasm, and the legs and feet seem to have endless strength.

On the hillside behind the village, two small dogs barked and rushed home, just in time for Shen Yaoqing, who was carrying a hoe to go to the ground, to hear it, and hurriedly looked over, seeing that Shen Xuanqing was pulling a cart that seemed heavy, he called out to the yard. He put down his hoe and hurried over to meet him. In the haste, he rubbed the dog's head twice, otherwise they would keep rubbing against his legs and wagging their tails.

The three of Wei Lanxiang rushed out when they heard the commotion. Seeing that Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing were doing well, the worries in her heart went away. When I came down from the mountain, I was dressed clean and tidy. I no longer looked ashamed like a bandit and bandit, and I smiled more. Looking at that, I was called a spirited head.

In this way, even if she died now, she would be worthy of Shen Shunfu when she went underground.

"Mother, sister-in-law." Lu Gu whispered to her and Ji Qiuyue.

"Hey, it's good to be back." Wei Lanxiang smiled happily, and unloaded the bamboo basket on his back with Shen Yan.

"Brother Guzi, can you give me one of your flowers?" Shen Yan saw several mountain flowers on the bamboo basket. They couldn't name them. The petals rose from the bottom to the top, turning from pink to orange like clouds blooming in the evening sky. , very beautiful, because there are several flowers, she couldn't help asking.

Lu Gu saw this when he was resting on the road, he picked a few branches out of a bunch, and they were originally for them, he heard that he took them out and said, "It's for you."

He saw Ji Qiuyue again, handed it over and whispered, "Sister-in-law, you and mother are also there."

Wei Lanxiang laughed from ear to ear, and she handed the flowers back to Lu Gu, but Lu Gu shook her head and whispered no, so she gave it to Ji Qiuyue, and said, "It's hard for you to be filial, it's just that my mother is old, and you still don't need it." What Dai Huaer does, people will laugh at the old monster."

The family talked and laughed, and pulled the cart back together.

Shen Yan had beautiful flowers in her hair. Although she was young, she had a round face and lovely almond eyes, and wearing flowers made her even more cute.

She was anxious on her feet, eager to go out and wanted to show off to girls of the same age, but the cart brought so many things back, which made her stumble, and after some struggles, she had a choice. First, let's see what Brother Erqing brought back. It's not too late to show off the flowers on your head.

"This is a black-hoofed sheep? Amitabha, it can be sold for a lot of money, and there are a lot of pheasants." Wei Lanxiang looked at the things on the cart, and saw each one muttering one by one, full of joy.

When she knew that the dried goods in Lu Gu's bamboo basket were dried by himself, she got Shen Xuanqing's wink, and she was full of praise: "Guzi picked so many goji berries and a lot of wormwood. It sells for a lot of money, Gai Ming Erniang will get you some rice wine, grab some goji berries and cook rice wine to drink."

Lu Gu took good care of Shen Xuanqing, and she was so diligent. Her selfishness towards her son was no longer biased. The more she looked at Lu Gu, the more she felt that God had opened her eyes. It was a pity that she didn't marry that Lu Wen back. Thinking of this, she clapped her hands and said : "Don't wait for tomorrow, mother will go with your sister-in-law."

Lu Gu was so praised that he lowered his head shyly. Before he could raise his head, Wei Lanxiang went out with Ji Qiuyue to make rice wine with a basket on his shoulders.

Shen Yan also finished looking at the cart at this moment, pulled a few long colorful feathers from the buttocks of a dead pheasant, and said to Shen Xuanqing: "Second brother, I'm going to play with Caixia and the others. .”

I am happy to be back today, Shen Xuanqing didn't care about her being playful and not letting go of ducks, and even took a small cloth bag for her, saying: "Share it with them."

Shen Yan took it over and saw that it was filled with wild fruits, the smile on his face was even bigger, and he went out happily.

The things on the cart were not unloaded, only three pheasants and two hares were taken down, and they were left for Wei Lanxiang and the others to eat, and the rest would be taken to the town tomorrow to sell the cart.

Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing washed their faces and sat in the yard to rest, Shen Yaoqing also stopped going to the ground, took a bowl and sneaked into Wei Lanxiang's room, grabbed more than half a bowl of melon seeds, and sat under the eaves chatting cheerfully with his second brother.

The melon seeds were bought two days ago, the fragrant roasted seeds and nuts, Wei Lanxiang was not willing to take out more, thinking that if someone came from the family, it would be honorable to serve this treat.

Lu Guchang has eaten melon seeds twice at such an age, and there are not many, so he can sit and nibble slowly at this moment.

Someone in Qingxi village made rice wine, and Wei Lanxiang and Ji Qiuyue went to the tofu shop in the next village, planning to stew tofu with meat sauce. Tofu is not available in the mountains, so they will not be rewarded when they come back.

It was just that the family hadn't bought pork recently, so she inquired, and finally asked Mrs. Lin Jinhu from the village for half a yuan, and she would pay it back tomorrow.

When she came back, she saw Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing resting in the yard. She didn't let Lu Gu stop him, and went to the kitchen with Ji Qiuyue to light a fire and cook. As for the melon seeds Shen Yaoqing stole, she glared at her eldest son. Knowing that I thought it was a child.

But she stared and laughed again. Speaking of which, she favored Shen Xuanqing more, but she was not bad for the eldest son. The palms and backs of the hands were full of meat, but they were nothing more than melon seeds.

As for Shen Yan, the youngest daughter is not comparable to the two sons, she always took Shen Yan to the town when she was selling eggs and duck eggs, even if she didn't say anything, even Ji Qiuyue knew that she was taking her daughter to the tooth festival, Either buy a bowl of hot and sour bean curd or a shortbread.

Of course Lu Gu didn't know, he just arrived after all.

After the melon seeds are finished eating, the rice will be ready.

The rice wine is very refreshing, and the red wolfberry is also good-looking. The tofu is stewed until the hot tofu is blown. Let’s have another soft white flour steamed bun. The white flour is finer and much tastier than mixed noodles. This meal is very satisfying.

There was constant chatter and laughter in the yard, everyone in the Shen family had smiles on their faces, Lu Gu didn't have to wash the dishes after eating, Ji Qiuyue asked him to go back to his room to rest, after walking all the way.

This day passed happily, and the next morning, Lu Gu followed Shen Xuanqing to the morning market.

The official road is flat, much easier to walk than the mountain road. The carts are pushed forward. Lu Gu is used to running in the mountains for the past ten days. Walking on such a flat road suddenly feels easy. After all, it is better to go down the mountain.

He was carrying a big bamboo basket, in which besides goji berries and wormwood, he also picked a lot of wild bath beads, which are much cheaper than fragrant bath beads, even people in the town often use them, so no one will buy them.

As for the dried mushrooms, he thinks there are not enough of them. He heard people say that they are good to eat, and they can eat them when they cook soup or stew in late autumn and winter. Except for the ones he kept in the mountains, they also brought some for home. , if we find more fungus in the future, it will not be too late to sell them.

They got up early, and the flow of people coming and going increased after the morning set.

Because she pushed the cart today, Shen Xuanqing brought two benches from home, so she could sit and rest her feet.

Lu Gu's bamboo baskets were placed on the back of the cart, not occupying any other space, so he only had to pay a fee. He took out the bundle of mugwort leaves so that people could see them, and put the cloth bag containing wild bath beads on the bamboo basket. Next to the basket, you can see it even when you open the mouth.

Shen Xuanqing yelled, he hesitated at the side, and when he saw the old lady passing by, he whispered: "The bath beads are cheaper, five pennies a penny, wolfberries are also available, three pennies."

Because it is a dry product, Sanwen refers to a tael of three Wen, which is the market price of goji berries. Last night, Wei Lanxiang went to the village to borrow a nickname, so that he could use it when selling things, so he didn’t have to go to the market to borrow it from others. Yes, otherwise it depends on the face of others.

"Auntie, look at this bath bead. It's big enough to wash your hands for two days." Shen Xuanqing heard his voice, a smile flashed in her eyes, and she helped him talk to people.

Seeing the woman looking over, he said again: "The ones picked in the deep mountain forest are better than the ones in the front mountain. Washing your hair can also leave a fragrance."

Upon hearing this, even the two passing couples and women came forward, grabbed a handful and looked and smelled it.

Shen Xuanqing didn't lie, the tree that Lu Gu found was really good, it was what they used in the mountains, and they could smell it after washing their hair.

"It doesn't smell as good as fragrant bath beads." A husband picked and picked, and even glanced at the wolfberry in the bamboo basket, pinched two to taste.

Shen Xuanqing was used to seeing it, and said gently: "How can wild bath beads compare with fragrant bath beads, ours is cheaper, and it is already more fragrant than other bath beads."

"Well, I'll buy it for six pennies a penny." Fu Lang bargained with him.

"Grandma is just joking. The things are not expensive at all, but they are so good. My husband walked on Guangshan Road for three hours after carrying them back. It's not cheap." Shen Xuanqing did not agree.

This thing is like selling at a low price, only five people get a copper plate, and now one copper coin can't even buy a sesame seed cake, if the price is lowered, Lu Gu will be busy in the mountains these days.

The husband felt that he really wanted something, and seeing that Shen Xuanqing didn't let go and didn't leave, he said a lot in his mouth, and finally Shen Xuanqing said that if he bought it for twenty cents, it would be counted as six.

Originally wanted to buy one for ten Wen, but when he heard that it was only twenty Wen, Shen Xuanqing became a little annoyed, and finally asked Lu Gu what he meant, as long as he bought it for fifteen Wen, it would be six.

It was Lu Gu's first time to sell things, he was nervous and didn't figure out how much he would give for fifteen cents, and he was quick to think, he memorized it silently, and counted six bath beads fifteen times.

When the husband left, he reached out to take two more, Shen Xuanqing pretended not to see it, this kind of person is quite common in business, and the most important thing is to make money with kindness, so there is no need to worry too much about it.

As for Lu Gu, he also understood this truth, besides, he sold it for [-] cents at once. When Shen Xuanqing didn't pick up the money, the husband handed it to him.

Fifteen copper coins are not light, and they are heavy in his hand, but he has no time to think about them, because there are two women who want to buy them, and they agreed with the husband to lower the price just now, and since there are six pennies, they both want it If it's twenty characters, I'll spare two more when it's over.

After Lu Gu finished counting the wild bath beads to collect the money, together with the fifteen cash on the cart, there would be a total of 55 cash.

Farmers are very happy to earn fifty cents at a stroke, let alone Lu Gu, who has not touched many copper coins, the most that passes through his hands is ten cents, when his mother was around.

This large handful of copper coins seemed to him like a dream, but dreams will wake up, so he reluctantly gave the money to Shen Xuanqing.

Shen Xuanqing was puzzled, frowned slightly and asked in doubt: "What are you doing for me? Didn't you bring a small cloth bag?"

Lu Gu thought that he was going to put everything in a cloth bag and turn it in after they were sold out, so he quickly followed the instructions.

While talking, someone came to see the wild things, so Shen Xuanqing had to stop talking, turned around and got busy.
