The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family Chapter 189

   When we arrived at Zhuangzi, we saw neat rows of fruit trees in the distance.

  According to the mountain, plant all the way to the middle of the mountain.

  Yan Er Er laughed.

   Find the right place!

  This time, he directly explained the purpose of coming, and told the manager of Zhuangzi that he was instructed by the aunt.

  The manager asked casually how many trees he wanted to buy?

  Yan Laoer rubbed his hands together, and said: "Two hundred trees." Afraid of embarrassing others, he added a sentence: "It's just a tree, I won't pick."

   Almost surprised the steward walking ahead.

   Why don't you choose? If you want to choose, I have to be able to take out those too!

  He turned around and his face was a little uglier than before.

   "Are you kidding me?"

Seeing that someone misunderstood, Yan Lao Er hurriedly explained: "It's my fault, I didn't tell you clearly, my family wanted to buy it, and the villagers also joined in the fun when they heard it, and they all wanted it. There are only so many of them. We really don't choose, what? The saplings are fine, and when they bear fruit in the future, each family can mix and try."

  The steward still showed suspicion on his face. He had never heard of country people buying so many seedlings at once.

   "The saplings are sold according to the year. A year's seedlings cost 30 yuan. You want 200 trees. Do you have enough money?"

  Yan Laoer took out the money in pain, quickly demonstrated his purchasing ability, and quickly took it back.

  The steward's expression softened a lot.

   It's not just to make trouble.

  As for the stinginess of this countryman, he doesn't care, it's like that in the farmer's family, and he hasn't seen much money in his life.

"There aren't that many, only a hundred or so trees. You'll have to find out the exact number. In this way, since you don't choose a variety, I won't take you there. I'll charge you a deposit of 100 Wen. After three days, you Take people to pull the seedlings, and then give the rest of the money."

   "Why not enough? There are so many planted on this mountain!" Yan Er Er swept the lush greenery from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside.

  Now is the time to bear fruit, and the green and yellow fruits are particularly eye-catching.

   "Those are numbered and cannot be moved."

The steward talked generously about his business of borrowing chickens to lay eggs: "These hundred or so seedlings were planted last year, and they survived. If you want more, I can sell you some for two years, but It's more expensive than this, eighty cents.”

  Yan Laoer shook his head pitifully, and said, "It's too expensive, I can't afford it."

  The manager said in his heart: If you can't afford it, it's right.

   "Brother, it won't work to pull seedlings after three days, can we pull them today? The old man in our village said that today is an auspicious day, and it is the best time to invite seedlings back." Yan Laoer said mysteriously.

  All those in charge are convinced.

  In your village, the old people pay so much attention to why, and they still invite Miaozi...

  Why don't you just ask God to go back.

   "You are pulling radishes from the ground? Just pull hard? The seedlings must be dug out one by one, so be careful not to hurt the roots..."

   "Brother, can you help me?" Yan Lao Er clumsily stuffed a few copper coins into his hand.

   The manager laughed angrily.

   And put the copper plate back to him.

   "You can just dig a hole and plant this kind of fruit tree. Does anyone in your village know how to plant it? Transplanting fruit seedlings also depends on the time. It's not like you just dig it."

  Yan's second son didn't care about that, and begged repeatedly.

  The reason is that one, the old people in the village are more particular, so they believe in this Barabara...

  The person in charge is entangled by him, and he can't leave, and he can't get rid of him, and he can't beat him out.

   Really couldn't stand his pestering method, so he spat out and asked him to come back at night, so he asked someone to help dig.

  Yan Laoer was very grateful, and before leaving, he asked in embarrassment if he could buy some fruit for the child to satisfy his cravings.

   That's fine.

  There are many fruit trees, but there are not many fruits. The host family is kind, and he let go early. If the neighbors in the village come to buy, they will sell some. The fruit trees planted in this village are originally for profit.

   Just like that, Yan's second son Li Zi and Xing bought a basket each.

   We agreed to return the basket at night...

  Yan's second child read to his wife and daughter when they got home: "It's too picky, I don't want to give up the two baskets, I have to return them tonight."

  Yan Yu's hands developed several blisters.

  Li Xuemei is giving her medicine.

  No side, just diluted alcohol.

  The taste is really sour!

  Yan Yu gritted her teeth, her whole face was wrinkled, not to mention how ugly it was.

   She didn't listen to her father's words at all.

  Is it important to have her immature little hands whether there is a basket or not?

   Woohoo!

  The price of forcing a tree is too painful!

  Li Xuemei endured her distress, and wrapped her hands with a clean cloth.

   Can't say anything else.

   The matter of replanting cannot be vague.

  They also learned a lesson.

  Be sure to consume wisely.

  Yan's second child also shut up, his face twitching in sync with his daughter.

   It was really uncomfortable to watch, so I went to the river with two baskets.

   Wash the plums and apricots, and give them to his daughter.

  Yan Yu's hands are supported by three layers of cloth strips, cotton, and cloth strips, which feels like wearing cotton gloves.

   After enduring alcohol for a while, I feel that I can persist.

  After eating the plums and apricots produced by that Zhuangzi, Yan Yu immediately found the strength to continue fighting!

  Plums are sweet and sour and juicy, and apricots are also sweet.

   I gnawed several of them in one breath, and my mouth was full of juice.

  Carefully putting the fruit core aside, Yan Yu asked her father hopefully: "Father, will it be enough to plant these?"

   "It can't be planted directly, it has to be processed." Yan Laoer shook his head and said.

  Li Xuemei also looked at him with doubts.

  Yes, both of them grew up in the city, so it's normal not to know.

   "The core of this fruit has to be dried in the sun, so it can't be planted directly. Before planting, it has to be pinched and cracked, otherwise the small buds inside can't get out." Yan Lao Er said.

  Li Xuemei and Yan Yu suddenly realized.

  Nodding half understanding.

   I don't really understand the principle, but it's not important, as long as you know how to do it.

  Yan Laoer greeted those who could drive, and took them to pull Guomiao after dinner.

  Two baskets of fruit are difficult for Yan's family to eat.

  Li Xuemei asked Nanny Rong to cook plum soup, and planned to make some dried apricot meat.

Yan Laoer looked at the remaining apricots, and said: "It's a bit small, it's a lot of work to make once, why don't I buy some more, let's make more, the dried apricots can hold, and you and the children can be snacks eat."

  Li Xuemei was very tempted, but considering that the family needs money everywhere, she restrained herself: "Don't buy too much, this thing is not very hungry, it is troublesome to make, and it costs sugar."

Yan Laoer knew her better, knew that she was distressed about money, secretly squeezed her hand, and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, don't worry, eat boldly. I'm going to Yongning today. In addition to inquiring about this fruit seedling, there are also unexpected gains... "

  Li Xuemei was very happy to hear that he had ordered another thousand catties of charcoal, her eyes were full of smiles.

   Listening and listening, he heard something wrong, so he asked, "Why is it selling for three dollars again? Has the price increased?"

"No, we still sell it here for two cents and eight dollars. Doesn't that mean you have to pay to enter Yongning City? This is all cost and has to be counted in it." Yan Laoer laughed and said: "Besides, it is Fucheng, and we can Is it the same price in the countryside? Judging by the attitude of that aunt, I will pay less."
