Through the small days of farming

The next morning, before dawn, Bai Niannian got up cautiously. He had to get up and prepare a meal for the two cubs before he could go to town to buy something. a little.

He likes to put a little soy sauce in his stir-fried vegetables, so that the stir-fried vegetables taste a bit sweet.

The shoes of several people in the family are all torn and mended, and he has to buy some rags to make shoes. There is not much thread in the house, because the clothes at home often need to be mended, and the thread is consumed very quickly.

While the porridge was cooking, he took the basket to the vegetable garden and picked a handful of lettuce. There were not many vegetables in the yard, but the most common one was lettuce. Thinking of the two pheasants at home, he picked another handful to make firewood. Wang, when he came back after picking the vegetables, the porridge was already boiling, and it was simmering on a low heat.

I mixed some hot water into the cold water to make the water temperature not so cold and then washed and cut the vegetables.

While they were cooking, two little fellows also appeared at the door of the kitchen with sleepy eyes. Chen Mingde rubbed his eyes, "Brother, it smells so good."

"Brother, did you wake you up? Now that you've woken up, let's wash your face and get ready to eat. Brother, I'm going to town with Aunt Chen later." Bai Niannian said while putting the vegetables in a bowl.

"Brother, come here and wash your face." Chen Mingli greeted his younger brother, and came to the small wooden basin where Bai Niannian had poured warm water just now.

"Brother, can I go to town with you?" Chen Mingde looked at him expectantly.

Although he wanted to go to the town with the two cubs, but this time he went to the town to find out the situation first, and then took the two cubs with him when he thought of a way to make money.

"Brother will take you with me next time." Bai Niannian refused, "Today you will go to Aunt Chen's house to play with their Er Niu, and brother will be back at noon, so you have to be obedient at Aunt Chen's house Is it?" Bai Niannian changed his mind, let the two cubs cook sweet potatoes at home, he went to the town alone, and he was not in a hurry to dry the sweet potatoes, he could cook them again when he came back at noon.

"Brother, don't we need to cook sweet potatoes?"

"Well, brother, it's okay, take us to the town next time!" Chen Mingli emphasized what he said.

"We'll work together when Brother comes back at noon. If you are being bullied, don't be polite, just beat you back." After thinking for a while, Bai Niannian added, his cubs can't be bullied anymore, they The family owed a lot of favors to Aunt Chen's family, but it didn't mean that the child could be bullied by their family. This kind of thing had never happened before.

To establish a concept for the cubs, he has been displeased with the little bastards of his uncle's family for a long time, the next time he dares to bully the two cubs of their family, it would be the best thing to beat their little fatty to the bum up.

"Er Niu is very kind to us, and he will give us candy."

"One piece of candy will buy it." Bai Niannian poked his forehead with his finger, "Hurry up and eat, bro, I have to go out to town later, or I won't be able to catch the ox cart, bro, I have to walk Went to town."

"Brother, I've finished washing."

"Brother, I've washed it too."

"Come and eat quickly after washing." Bringing the dishes to the table outside, Bai Niannian served a large bowl of porridge for a person. The porridge he cooked was not as thin as the original owner's. The porridge came out very thick.

The porridge was very hot, so Bai Niannian filled a wooden basin with cold water, and then put the wooden bowl in the water to cool down the porridge. After a few minutes, the porridge was not so hot, and it could be eaten by blowing on it when eating.

After breakfast, I packed up my things, took the only fifty wen left at home, carried the basket, and took the two cubs with me, and went to my aunt's house.

As soon as I walked to the door of my aunt's house, Aunt Chen just came out, "Brother Nian, I woke up so early, I was worried that you would forget."

"My two little ones will be placed in your house first, and I will trouble you again." Bai Niannian said with a smile.

"Come and play with Erniu, come in quickly, it's cold outside, Erniu just got up." Aunt Chen asked the two children to go in quickly, and walked to the entrance of the village with Bai Niannian, because today is not the town It was market day, so there were only five or six people in the village going to the town.

Aunt Chen and the others were holding a basket with eggs in them. The hens are well-raised and will lay eggs in winter. They are raised in a place with a higher temperature. Eggs are rare in winter and sell quickly. .

After saying hello to each other, they took the initiative to find a good place in the bullock cart, which belonged to Li Daniu's family in the village. Li Daniu is now a senior, and usually relies on driving the bullock cart to send people from the village to the town to earn some money.

It costs a penny a trip.

When the bullock cart was almost full of people, the bullock cart started slowly. The fog in the morning was a bit heavy, and the visibility was only about two meters. Grandpa Li knew the way after driving the bullock cart for so long.

As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, the wind poured into his mouth, and the people in the car silently hugged the things they brought to the town.

He estimated the time, from the village to the town, it took about half an hour in a bullock cart, and the bullock cart bumped so badly along the way, that when he got off the cart, his butt felt like it was about to fall apart.

"Auntie goes to sell the eggs first, and you go shopping too, and wait here when you're done shopping. The bullock cart won't wait for anyone when the time comes." Aunt Chen told Bai Niannian, and hurried away with the eggs up.

They go their separate ways and go back here after buying their own things, which saves time, otherwise they might not be able to keep up with the bullock cart if they go to buy the same thing together.

His goal is very clear, first to buy soy sauce, a small bottle of soy sauce cost eight cents, and then saw a bunch of candied haws sold on the street for one penny, bought two bunches, and spent five cents at once One of the money.

Feeling that this money is really worth spending, I quickly went to the cloth shop and bought a bundle of rags for five cents, and bought them back to make shoes.It also cost five cents to buy needlework, Bai Niannian touched the dwindling money in his pocket, and decided not to buy anything anymore.

After buying something, go to Aunt Chen. He and Aunt Chen came here to sell eggs together. He walked slowly all the way. This street is very lively. There are many stalls on both sides of the street. People who sell vegetables At most, there are many people who sell eggs and even mushrooms on the mountain, and the business is good, there are so many things, there are many things.

When he found Aunt Chen, he had almost checked all the businesses on the street, and found that his green vegetable business was the most suitable. There were no bean sprouts here. When the weather got colder, the green vegetables were almost gone. He could Use bean sprouts to make a fortune.

Today's green vegetables are basically three or four yuan a catty, and after a while, the price of green vegetables will rise to five or six yuan a catty.

Moreover, the non-poisonous mushrooms on the mountain, the better the preservation of the mushrooms brought here, the more expensive they are. If he has space, he can put them in the space and bring them to the town, and the preservation will be the same as the freshly picked ones.

Seeing him, Aunt Chen waved to him, "Have you bought anything?"

Bai Niannian walked over, holding a basket with a lot of things in his hand, "I bought it, and I didn't buy a lot of things. Aunt, do you still want to go shopping? I'll help you look at the eggs, you Go shopping."

"Then you're welcome, auntie, go shopping first." Auntie Chen handed him the basket, and went shopping by herself.

The people in the town are relatively rich, and they are still willing to buy two eggs for a penny to supplement the health of their families.

It would be even better if you meet the steward of a big family in the town. You can buy yours in one go, and you don't have to wait here to sell them.

"How do you sell your eggs?"

"Two for a penny. These are chickens that have not been born for a long time. They are very fresh. Let's buy some for the family." Bai Niannian hurriedly sold them when he saw a business coming.

Seeing his intention to move, he continued: "And this egg is a little bigger than other people's."

In fact, eggs are similar to other people's eggs. This is probably a preconceived idea. Give him an egg that is a little bigger than other people's eggs, and it will look more and more similar.

"Then give me ten, and pick the bigger one."

"Okay." Bai Niannian responded, and the movements in his hands were not slow, he picked some big ones to match with some small ones, "It's five yuan in total."

After seeing off the elderly brother, Bai Niannian waited for a while, and then two younger brothers came, chatting chirpingly, rounding up the remaining eggs in the basket.

Seeing that his aunt hadn't come back yet, Bai Niannian chatted with the peddler next to him. The little brother on the left seemed easy to talk to, "Little brother, your vegetables look good, are they grown by your family?"

"Well, this is grown by my mother and I, and it can be sold for four yuan a catty." The little brother looked a little shy at first, but when he talked about their family's dishes, he became proud.

"Do you need money to sell things here? If so, where to pay?" Bai Niannian asked.

"It's good to register with Brother Li, one penny a day, twenty pennies a month." The little brother pointed to the man surrounded by people not far away, Bai Niannian secretly took note of his appearance, and turned around Seeing the cute look of the little brother, I patted his head, "Thank you."

The little brother blushed quietly, peeking at him embarrassingly.

Bai Niannian didn't continue to talk to him, the little brother's business was good, many regular customers came to buy vegetables, seeing too many people was too busy, so Bai Niannian stepped forward to help.

Not long after, the little brother had finished shopping, packed up his things, said shyly to Bai Niannian, thank you, and then went home.

Bai Niannian looked at the other party's soft and cute appearance, and couldn't resist pinching his face, it's a pity that it's not their cub.

I don't know what the two cubs at home are doing, do you miss him?Seeing the candied haws he bought back, the two cubs in the family will definitely be very happy. The two cubs in the family are wronged to eat a bunch of candied haws together. Now that the family doesn't have much money, they should save some money.

After Aunt Chen finished shopping, she returned the basket to him, put the valuables under the basket and the worthless things on top, and the two of them carried the basket to the place where they got off the car this morning.

With sharp eyes, Bai Niannian saw a man suspected to be his elder brother appearing on the street, he followed a few steps, saw his face clearly, and confirmed that he was his natal elder brother, who almost sold him for money.

He closed the door after entering a courtyard, and Bai Niannian walked back thoughtfully.
