Wearing a mountain village tuff

The lotus seedlings are ready.

Ye Baiyou looked at the sky, it was sunny just now and now there is no sun.The white clouds were piled together to form a huge rabbit shape.

Time to go back.

Bai Xiaojiang wanted to stay here, and Ye Baiyou gave all the toons he brought to the old man's house.Then he went home with Twelve with the basket on his back.

Bai Xiaojiang thought about it but was worried, so he simply sent him to the bamboo forest in the back mountain before going back.

The two of you, Ye Baiyou, first went to Bai's house to tell them about Bai Xiaojiang's not coming back, and they wandered home with the last rays of the setting sun.

Just as he bypassed the fence and opened the door, the little guy sitting under the fence rushed towards Ye Baiyou.

"Sister-in-law, you are back."

"Are you here alone?" Ye Baiyou touched Xiaotuanzi's face and looked around.

Twelve raised his hand to take his pannier, and casually said: "There is someone, you go to his back and leave."

Only then did Ye Baiyou feel relieved.

"I said I'll call you when I come back." Ye Baiyou fiddled with the little bell on his little bun. "Why sit here and wait?"

Little Ah Zhen raised her hands high and tiptoed towards Ye Baiyou, her eyes were full of eagerness for Ye Baiyou to hug her.

Ye Baiyou bent down to pick him up, and the child's milky smell hit the tip of his nose. "You're so clingy, what will you do when you get married?"

Carrying the child into the room, Ah Zhen imitated Ye Baiyou's face while holding Ye Baiyou. "Such a good sister-in-law, what can I do when my brother comes back to snatch it from me?"

While muttering, he frowned and sighed maturely.

Ye Baiyou chuckled and pinched the tip of his nose: "Little clever ghost."

Little Ah Zhen immediately blushed, Little Baozi's face slipped into Ye Baiyou's arms.

Ye Baiyou turned the little guy upside down: "I'm tired, I'm tired, now Ah Zhen is coming down to play with Xiaojing."

The little guy raised his head and pressed his forehead against Ye Baiyou's.The long and curled eyelashes flickered, and he said dissatisfied: "Okay, next time sister-in-law hugs a little longer."

"Row."

A deal was reached, the child played with the cat, and Ye Baiyou visited his pond.

A place was dug between the pond and the field, which was blocked by Ye Baiyou before he left. Looking at the water level now, it has only dropped a little.Anyway, it's not dark yet, so Ye Baiyou couldn't bear to just put the lotus root he found in it.

He took a pole and a dustpan, went to the nearest ditch and dug a lot of silt and came back.

The smoke in the house had already risen, and it was time for Twelve to ask him to eat.Ye Baiyou had already spread a layer of mud half an arm thick under the pond.

Then get some fine soil piled up on the bank that was specially left by several uncles and brothers, and the pond will be fully alive.

After hastily eating, Ye Baiyou touched the moonlight and planted the lotus seedlings in the water tank.

It wasn't until the moon was in the middle of the sky, Ye Baiyou supported his sore waist, that he climbed onto the shore.

"It's almost done."

After eating, the little guy was taken by Twelve to wash up, and then he sat on the threshold and waited for Ye Baiyou.At this moment, he saw half of his body exposed from the fence, and hurriedly ran to the edge of the fence.

He raised one hand high and rubbed his eyes with the other: "Sister-in-law, sleep."

The voice of the baby is childish and sleepy.

Ye Baiyou was so dirty that he couldn't hold a child at all.

He climbed over the fence, knelt down and coaxed: "Little Ah Zhen, go to bed and fall asleep first, and then sister-in-law..."

Annoyance flashed in Ye Baiyou's eyes, and he was distorted by the children's yelling. "I'll go and accompany you after I take a shower later, okay?"

The child nodded confusedly, turned his head three times a step and said, "Sister-in-law, hurry up."

Twelve just came out of the kitchen, walked in quickly and picked up the child gently while he was confused.Before he could react, he was stuffed into the bed.

Ah Zhen realized later, but was too sleepy, touched the bed, yawned and fell asleep.

"Small, so stubborn." Twelve took the opportunity to pinch his little bun's face.

"Didn't it just steal a piece of candy from you? As for holding grudges for so long." The little paw rubbed a few times, and when it was enough, Twelve went out happily.

Ye Baiyou came out of the shower, her hair half-dried and scattered behind her head.

"Twelve, go to bed quickly, or you won't grow taller."

Twelve walked up to Ye Baiyou and raised his hand to compare with him. "It's only half a head shorter than you. My brother won't be able to get married when he grows taller."

Ye Baiyou snorted, rubbed her hair and yawned softly.Tears welled up in her eyes, Ye Baiyou said, "Why can't I get married?"

Twelve looked at Ye Baiyou and smiled like a fox: "That's right, Madam got married."

Ye Baiyou: "If your young master finds out that you arranged things like this behind him, and your reputation will be ruined, I will blame you."

Then he yawned again.

"Go to sleep, I'm sleepy too."

"I know, I know."

The door was closed, and a small bulge was huddled in the middle of the bed.A little doll like Yutuan'er, I don't know why he clings to him so much.

Could it be that he really wants to find a sister-in-law for himself?

"Little clever ghost." Ye Baiyou lifted the quilt and sat on the bed, and picked up the little guy who was only wearing a white underwear and put him on the bed.

At this moment, her hair was not dry, so Ye Baiyou could only sit back and close her eyes.

Slowly, everyone fell asleep.

Only in the sky above Jing'an Mansion, a fat pigeon and a goshawk met.

The fat pigeon "coo-coo" resentfully, watching the goshawk fly away.Doudou was envious in her eyes, and then continued to work hard by herself.

-

It was sunny for a few days and it rained again.

There are not many seasonings at home, so I just sold the dried bamboo shoots and added some to the family.The most important thing is to buy some chickens and raise them.

The spring rain is like silk, and it falls on the hair of passers-by on the official road.Form into fine white beads.

Ye Baiyou was holding an oil-paper umbrella.In the big back basket, the dried bamboo shoots were crowded and protruding from the back.

Ye Baiyou's umbrella was tilted, completely blocking the back basket.

Twelve: "You don't support yourself, be careful to catch cold when your hair is wet."

"No, it's raining little."

With that said, Ye Baiyou tilted her head and looked at the back basket.Before he could see clearly, his head was covered by a shadow.

"Boom-"

Ye Baiyou narrowed his eyes, and went out with the umbrella in his hand, almost getting hit by himself.

Turning his head, he saw Twelve Man stretched out his foot and kicked a black shadow on the ground.

"do not move!"

After grabbing Twelve, Ye Baiyou could clearly see the fat pigeon lying on the ground in a daze.

"Pigeon meat from the sky?"

Ye Baiyou bent down, stretched out her finger and poked lightly.The soft and shiny fur is sunken first, and there is still a lot of meat inside.

Ye Baiyou grabbed the chubby pigeon and stood up, with a smile in his eyes: "If you sell it, you can buy a chicken."

Twelve glared at the little chubby pigeon, and quickly reached out to cover his paws.Just as she stretched out her hand, Ye Baiyou suddenly touched a bamboo tube.

"A carrier pigeon?"

The little chubby pigeon completely nestled in Ye Baiyou's palm with its mouth open, and poked it twice without moving.

Ye Baiyou: "Can he still fly now?"

There was tension in Twelve's eyes, and he spread his hands out. "Will you show me?"

"Cuckoo..."

Ye Baiyou was concerned about the dried bamboo shoots in the basket, and handed the pigeons to Twelve.

He said: "The pigeon that is going to deliver the letter has been kept so fat, and I don't worry about it falling like this halfway."

Twelve flicked the wings of the little chubby pigeon and laughed dryly.

Shen Da and the others were the worst, and gave him the fattest one.He can't reach any of the other good ones.

"eccentric!"

"What?" Ye Baiyou tilted his head, and through the drizzle, his facial features added a bit of the misty gentleness of the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.Very clear, especially the slender eyebrows and round eyes softened the coquettishness on his face.

Twelve: "I scolded the pigeon breeder."

Ye Baiyou nodded: "I don't know who it is, but if it can fly, let it go."

Without delay on the road, Ye Baiyou, a big basket of bamboo shoots, hurried to the county.

I went to the restaurant first to ask, but they don't accept it for the time being.Ye Baiyou was already mentally prepared.

Taking advantage of the fact that there are not too many people now, I paid a penny for the stall fee, and set up a stall in the middle of the market after receiving the sign.

Because he didn't bring anything to spread on the ground, Ye Baiyou just put the basket on the ground, and opened the bag inside, revealing the dried bamboo shoots that had turned yellow after drying.

"Brother, what are you selling?" An old lady was speaking next to her.

She was sitting on a small stool, and her blue cotton shirt was very clean.His gray hair was combed neatly behind his head, his face was rosy, and he was in good spirits.

In front of her was a basket of fresh toon sprouts.There is still a lot of dew on it.

Ye Baiyou smiled cutely: "It's freshly made dried bamboo shoots."

The old lady was surprised: "There are so many bamboo shoots in spring now, why are they still dried?"

Ye Baiyou squatted down with his back basket in his hands, frowning slightly.

"My family is in the mountains, and it takes time and effort to come here. I thought it would be better to dry them into dried bamboo shoots, which would be easier to take with you. Although they are no match for the tenderness of fresh bamboo shoots, they can be stored for a long time when you buy them back. I guess someone bought them."

The market is now more than half full of people.But there is no one selling dried bamboo shoots, and there are quite a lot of fresh bamboo shoots.

Ye Baiyou sold fresh bamboo shoots a few times in the past few days, but there were few items at that time, so they could be sold at a high price.Although it is almost the end of the season for eating bamboo shoots, it is still much cheaper.

Such a heavy fresh bamboo shoot has a long journey, and it is not worthwhile to carry it back and forth.

The old woman put her hands together and smiled. "Extremely! Spring bamboo shoots are eaten fresh, and they will be gone after the season. But it's different when they are dried."

"How do you sell this? I'll have some too, old lady."

Ye Baiyou didn't expect to get a client after chatting a few words, he thought of the golden color that just flashed by the old woman's mouth.

Feel happy and smile more obediently.

"Because dried bamboo shoots are not well-known, they sell for three pennies and one tael, but since you are the first customer, I will give you two pennies and one tael."

"It's half a catty." The old woman said with a slap on her thigh.

At first glance, it is not bad for money.

Half a catty of dried bamboo shoots doesn't look like a small amount, but it's a big bag, enough to eat several meals after soaking hair.

"Here you are, ten words of sincerity."

The old woman took a look at the bamboo shoots and put them in her basket.He praised: "Your dried bamboo shoots are well dried."

Ye Baiyou: "Fried bacon or stewed meat are both excellent."

It didn't take long for the market to become lively.

The dried bamboo shoots of Yebaiyou are especially unique among the bunch of toon sprouts, bracken and fresh bamboo shoots.There are a lot of vegetables in spring, so you don't have to worry about having no vegetables to eat.But in winter, all these dishes are gone.

Just bought it and put it away.Just like those dry goods, just pick them up when you want to eat them.

"Give me two taels."

"Two or three."

The first bag was scattered in such a way.Ye Baiyou glanced at Twelve, who was holding the money bag with a silly smile, and opened another bag with a broken smile.

It has been sold for more than half an hour, and Ye Baiyou is tired from standing.He simply spread the empty bag on the ground and sat down directly.

The toon buds brought by the old lady next to me were fresh and tender, and they were sold out early at the moment.

"Brother, sit on my stool."

Ye Baiyou saw that she had packed up her things and left, so she was ashamed to bother her. "You pack it up first, I'll sit on this bag, which happens to be on the ground too."

"Hey, why are you being polite, just bring it to me when you're done." The old woman pointed behind him, "My home is over there."

Ye Baiyou remembered that there was an unopened shop behind him.

Sure enough, the people in the county are wealthier than those in the village no matter what.

Ye Baiyou didn't refuse anymore, and took it with both hands and placed it beside her. "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

The old lady waved her hand and walked slowly towards the half-open shop door behind him.

Over the high eaves, you can vaguely see a piece of green behind.That's not a toon tree that's what.

There were more and more people on the street, Ye Baiyou patted the small stool beside her, and asked Twelve to sit down.Holding the basket with both hands, he wandered among the people passing by in the market with his round eyes.

Ye Baiyou cleared his throat.

"Dried bamboo shoots, dried spring bamboo shoots. Made from the new spring bamboo shoots this year, they are delicious and durable. Stir-fried bacon and stewed duck are delicious!"

Twelve suddenly heard him roar and almost fell off the stool.

He hurriedly grabbed Ye Baiyou's sleeve.

Ye Baiyou turned his head and kept talking: "Dried bamboo shoots, dried bamboo shoots in spring. It's delicious and durable. Stir-fried bacon and stewed duck are delicious!"

Seeing his questioning eyes, he didn't seem to think there was anything wrong.After thinking about it for a second, Twelve silently withdrew his hand and shook his head.

Brother Yuzu has this temperament.It's just that I saw too many soft-spoken, reserved and gentle brothers and sisters in the capital, and I didn't react for a while.

In contrast, shouting on the street, even a thick-skinned man like him felt a little uncomfortable.

But Brother Yuzu greets guests like a fish in water.On the contrary, it is even more admirable!

"Twelve, remember to collect the money!"

Seeing that he was distracted, Ye Baiyou quickly weighed the guests.Remind him by the way.

Twelve suddenly came back to his senses: "Oh, good brother."

"This is still your younger brother, he is so handsome."

Everyone looked at Ye Baiyou and subconsciously thought that at his age, he was already married.So it's okay to come out to the public and subsidize the family for a while.Seeing what he said now, they turned their eyes to Twelve who was aside.

"Don't tell me, your brother is really handsome. Is there anyone else?"

It was a regular customer who was talking, and Ye Baiyou weighed her a catty, and added a small one by the way.He smiled and said, "I'm still young, and my family wants to keep some more."

"It's good to be able to settle accounts." The old aunt praised, as if she was looking at her husband, she was very satisfied.

Ye Baiyou just opened his mouth to talk nonsense. "Yeah, my dad at home knows a few words. I watched it from the side since I was a child, and I'll get used to it over time."

Chattering, Ye Baiyou could pick up what anyone said.It took less than an hour and a half for two big bags of dried bamboo shoots to be sold out.

Because all of them are copper plates, the money bag containing silver is not light.

Ye Baiyou showed off her face, her brows were full of joy. "Clean up, let's return the stool to see the chicks."

"okay!"

-

Holding the copper plate, Ye Baiyou walked into the market holding Twelve's wrist.

"It's late now, I don't know if there are any more." Ye Baiyou muttered, stepping into the livestock selling place.

The smell of chicken droppings, duck droppings... the smell of various livestock alternates.

Fortunately, they were all surrounded by low bamboo strips, so they couldn't mess up the road in the middle.

Indeed, as he thought, many chicken and duck stalls were closed.There are still some of the two or three round bamboo strips left.

The light yellow, white, and black chicks are crowded together, the fluff on their bodies glowing softly.Just holding it in the palm of your hand, you can feel the softness.

Ye Baiyou liked it very much.

After shopping around, I finally bought the old man's at the bottom.

The chickens in his family looked more lively. Ye Baiyou worried that he would not be able to keep them alive, so he only bought five.The market is about to close now, and originally sold for five fen for four fen.

Five is twenty Wen.

The chicks are placed in the basket, and the bag of bamboo shoots is placed on the basket.Listening to the soft "twittering" sound, Ye Baiyou couldn't help humming a little tune.

The seasoning at home needs to be added, so I went to the shop to buy some oil, salt, vinegar and soy sauce, which I didn't dare to buy before, and I also bought some of them.Went to Xiaowuwen.

Enduring the pain, Ye Baiyou grabbed Twelve and quickly walked past the sweet-smelling pastry shop, only to be bitten by the bun again.

Ye Baiyou covered her stomach, gritted her teeth and passed through.

When he was about to leave the county, he bumped into the smell of traditional Chinese medicine.His appetite was instantly blown away.

"Brother Yuzu, look at that person inside!"

Twelve shook the wrist he was pinching, and whispered in his ear.

Ye Baiyou followed his gaze.

In the pharmacy is Zhang Pingshu.Just as he was receiving a small paper package from the medicine boy, the little medicine boy was still concentrating on how to use it, and this person came out.

He looked left and right, with a smile and hatred on his face.It looked a little scary.

But as if he was blind, he just didn't notice the two people holding umbrellas.

Ye Baiyou raised the umbrella high, frowned and watched the person go away. "Let's go to the pharmacy and ask him what he bought?"

That expression is the appearance of a thief, the heart is evil.This person also has conflicts with the two of them, so we have to guard against it.

Twelve rolled his hair and said casually, "Rat poison."

Ye Baiyou: "If you eat it, you will die."

Twelve nodded, with contempt in his eyes: "It's not as good as the weakest poison on my body."

Seeing that he was going out of the county town, Ye Baiyou was not in a hurry to hurry.Just as Twelve was far behind him.

Seeing that he was about to cross the road into Xiaoquan Village, the flat number was still moving forward.

"He is going to our Daquan Village."

Twelve thought he was worried, so he patted Ye Baiyou's hand: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here."

But he stopped for a while, and after turning a corner, Zhang Pingshu disappeared.

-

When he got home, Ye Baiyou put the chicks in the kitchen.

Seeing someone, Xiao Jing yelled and came out to rub Ye Baiyou's feet.He picked up the big cat and locked the kitchen door.

"Twelve, let's go see Aunt Zhang."

"Here we come!" Twelve threw the fat pigeon that flew into the house under the bed, and then went out.

"Why are you looking for Aunt Zhang?"

"A few words of reminder, so as not to be poisoned."

"Then what if we put it directly into the well in the village?"

Ye Baiyou was taken aback.The well in the village is the drinking water for the villagers. If it is polluted, the whole village will have a feast.

Twelve laughed:

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's me."

"It's just a cure, it's not difficult."

Ye Baiyou slapped his head and rubbed his head: "You are the only one who likes to be funny."

The two just left.

Unexpectedly, a person knocked on the door quietly and entered the kitchen.
