Meng Haisheng never expected that it would only take half an afternoon.

Lin Mucheng persuaded Qu Lan and Wu Lixia to help make cold dishes.

And they even got paid!

He admired Lin Mucheng from the bottom of his heart.

Cold dishes are originally a small business, and the profit is not much after deducting the cost.

But in this case, Lin Mucheng did not just ask his family members to help, but took out two yuan every day.

With this generosity, Meng Haisheng also felt that Lin Mucheng would definitely be his best right-hand man in the future.

The three sisters-in-law and daughters-in-law of the old Meng family went to the vegetable garden to pick cucumbers and carrots.

Although it was a bit tiring, the faces of the three people were all happy.

Meng Haisheng felt that earning dozens of yuan a day was a small amount of money, but in Lin Mucheng's eyes, it was a huge sum of money.

There were fewer carrots planted in Xiashan Village in spring, and Lin Mucheng estimated that this amount at home would definitely not be enough.

So she went to her familiar aunt's house and asked if she sold carrots.

Because there are many vegetables to eat in this season, and carrots are oily, the villagers don't like to eat them, and they are sold at the market for only about 10 cents.

The villagers saw that Lin Mucheng bought them for salad, so they sold them to her at 8 cents per pound.

Lin Mucheng was not picky because they sold them to her at such a low price. She bought all the carrots, big or small, and charged 8 cents per pound.

After she negotiated the price, Meng Haisheng borrowed Uncle Meng's cart to go to the house to pick up carrots.

Other people in the village saw it and couldn't help asking a few more questions.

As a result, Meng Haisheng didn't collect the bupleurum, but he collected a lot of carrots and small water radishes.

Looking at the radishes piled up like a small mountain at home, Meng Haisheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Salad can only be said to make a small profit, and the big profit is still reselling bupleurum.

As the sky gradually darkened, Meng Guangzhu and Meng Guanglian came back from the mountain carrying the bupleurum they dug.

Meng Guangzhu directly carried the bupleurum to Meng Haisheng's house.

"Haisheng, take a look at the bupleurum we dug."

After a whole day on the mountain, Meng Guangzhu's face was red from the sun, but he had a big smile on his face.

He dug bupleurum for a day, weighing 70 to 80 kilograms. Even if it was only 40 kilograms after drying, he could make a lot of money after selling it.

Meng Guangzhu has been a farmer all his life, and he is busy every day facing the loess and back to the sky.

But even if he works so hard for a year, he may not have a few big unity in his hands.

But digging bupleurum gave him hope.

"They are all pretty good, and they are big."

Meng Haisheng poured out most of the bupleurum, and the bupleurum inside was basically more than two years old.

"Tell me how to deal with it."

Meng Guangzhu saw Meng Haisheng picking up bupleurum, and it seemed to be quite troublesome.

"The newly dug bupleurum should be cleaned quickly, without any sand or dirt, and then placed in a bamboo flat to dry."

"It's hot here, so it's basically dry after two noons. There's no need to rush to pack it in bags after it's dried. Just put it in a cool place to let it dry."

Meng Guanglian nodded repeatedly.

"Then let's go back and wash the bupleurum."

Meng Guangzhu came in a hurry, and ran away excitedly in a short while.

Meng Haisheng, as a son, could naturally feel the joy emanating from Meng Guanglian's body.

He looked at Meng Guangzhu's back as he left, and a deep smile appeared on his face.

"Dad, when can we make dumplings again?"

Momo held the puppy in one hand with great effort, looking at Meng Haisheng eagerly.

She still remembered the white and plump dumplings.

Meng Haisheng rubbed the top of Momo's head. Although he was a little tired after a busy day, he was willing to make dumplings for Momo.

"Dad will go get the meat now."

There was still a piece of fresh meat hanging in the well, just right for making dumplings for Momo.

"Haisheng, don't be busy. You've been tired all day. Let's have cucumber fried meat tonight, and I'll roll some noodles."

Meng Haisheng was reluctant to let Lin Muching cook alone.

"Then you cook, and I'll knead the dough and roll the noodles."

Lin Muching looked at Meng Haisheng suspiciously. She didn't believe that he could roll noodles.

Eight or nine out of ten men in the village are hands-off bosses, and the cooking work at home is basically done by women.

She has been in Xiashan Village for several years, but she has never seen anyone who can make dumplings or roll noodles.

"Momo, come here and help Dad roll noodles."

When Momo heard that she was asked to participate, her big watery eyes instantly brightened up.

Children of her age like to help adults with work.

"Momo is really good at making dumplings."

Momo raised her little hand and made a pinching motion, but her little finger was not very obedient and turned into a fist.

"Well, Momo, but before we help dad buy noodles, we have to firstWash your hands, I saw you hug Xiaobei just now."

The father and daughter were happily kneading the dough and rolling noodles.

Lin Mucheng was a little worried and went to take a look from time to time.

As a result, Meng Haisheng's noodles were better than hers.

Momo was also very well-behaved and didn't make trouble.

While Meng Haisheng was rolling noodles, she sat beside him and asked questions.

"Dad and grandma said that mom will give birth to a little brother in the future, and she won't want me anymore if she has a little brother. "

Momo pouted her lips, looking very unhappy.

Meng Haisheng was speechless when he heard Momo ask these questions.

Some older people in the village like to scare children like Momo.

They may feel that these are just jokes and harmless.

But they don't know that these words, which seem to be nothing special to adults, have a different meaning when they fall into the ears of children.

If they are timid, they may even have a knot in their hearts.

"Momo will always be Daddy's little princess."

"No matter whether Mom gives birth to a brother or a sister in the future, Dad will love Momo as much as he does now."

Momo nodded seriously.

Although she couldn't figure out some things, she could still feel Meng Haisheng's kindness to her.

The father and daughter were whispering to each other. Meng Haisheng had just finished rolling the noodles when he heard a knock on the door.

"Haisheng, are you home? "

Meng Haisheng wore an apron and went to open the gate.

The person who came to see him was Meng Xiaomi, who was two years younger than Meng Haisheng.

She used to be Meng Haisheng's little follower. She could basically be seen wherever Meng Haisheng was.

During this period, Meng Xiaomi's father sent his mother back to her mother's home.

Meng Xiaomi had a conflict with his father and followed his mother to his grandmother's house for a few days. He just returned to the village today.

"Brother Haisheng, I heard that you are collecting Bupleurum now. How do you do this job? Tell me. I will also go to the mountain to dig Bupleurum tomorrow."

Meng Haisheng let Meng Xiaomi into the yard.

"Do you know Bupleurum?"

"We all dug Bupleurum when we were young. Who doesn't know it?"

"That's good. "

While talking, Meng Haisheng picked a few Bupleurum chinense that were more than two years old from the ones drying in his house and showed them to Meng Xiaomi.

"The big and small ones are this size, one yuan per catty. For now, I want the big ones instead of the small ones."

Meng Xiaomi looked at the Bupleurum chinense in his hand carefully and gestured with his palm.

"Brother Haisheng, I will go to the mountain to dig Bupleurum chinense tomorrow."

"Don't be lazy when you dig Bupleurum chinense back. Wash it and dry it quickly."

"It's hot now. If you don't clean it up and leave it overnight, it will go bad."

Meng Haisheng warned him with concern.
