After returning to the countryside to farm, I brought the whole village to become rich

Chapter 220 A New Day of Labor
In the early morning light, the sun slowly rises from the east, and the golden sunlight shines on the earth through the thin clouds, coating the small mountain village with a layer of golden brilliance.

A clear and loud rooster crow broke the tranquility of the village.

Wisps of cooking smoke lingered in the village. After breakfast, the hardworking people started a new day of work.

Men wear straw hats, carry hoes, and lead buffaloes to walk in the fields;

The women carry baskets on their backs, humming unknown tunes, go up the mountain to collect firewood and kill pigweed;
The sheep-herding boy waved his whip and drove the sheep to the green grass...

At 8:[-] in the morning, Grandma Chen has already made the bean curd; the grandfather and grandson are pushing the small trolley, and go slowly to Li Datou's house.

On the side of the farmhouse, Li Datou was busy in the big kitchen. Several pots and stoves were fired at the same time, the mist rose, the fragrance was overflowing, and the sound of spatulas colliding one after another.

At the foot of Old Dongshan, a long stall has been set up in the open space at the entrance of Strawberry Garden.

It was still early, there were no guests, and the villagers gathered in twos and threes to chat.

"Yanhong, I see that your business was very good yesterday, and the people at the stall have never stopped. You have earned a lot, right?"

"Hey, auntie, your jelly noodles sold well yesterday, so you didn't lose much money."

"What, after removing the capital, there is actually not much left."

"If you want me to tell you, the granddaughter of Mrs. Chen's family is clever, and she can earn 10 yuan for a garland."

"Hey! It doesn't matter how much it earns or how little it earns, as long as it can earn money!"

"That is, as long as I can make money, I am happy; so many people came here at once yesterday, I made three pots of jelly and it was not enough to sell.

I thought there would be more people today, so I got up at five o'clock in the morning and made five pots of jelly, but I don't know if they can be sold out. "

Several people were chatting vigorously, Shen Qiuqiu and Jiang Jincheng walked slowly down the country road, attracting a lot of attention.

"Xiao Hua, you're here." Yang Yanhong stood in the crowd and greeted Shen Qiuqiu with a smile.

Then, looking at Jiang Jincheng next to her, the smile on his face became more enthusiastic, "This is your partner, I always heard them say, it's the first time I've seen you."

"Yes." Shen Qiuqiu responded, and introduced to her, "This is my boyfriend, Jiang Jincheng."

Then he said to Jiang Jincheng: "This is my elementary school classmate, Yang Yanhong."

The two nodded and said hello to each other, even if they knew each other.

Standing aside, Qin Manxiang looked Jiang Jincheng from head to toe, and couldn't help but compare him with his nephew Qin Yue.

Then I found that there was no way to compare, height, appearance, momentum... Qin Yue lost in everything.

No wonder Mrs. Shen, grandparents and grandchildren looked down on Qin Yue at the beginning. It turned out that the good things came later.

Another person came over and said with interest, "Xiao Hua, your partner looks very energetic, she doesn't look like a local, how old is she, and what does she do for work?"

This is an aunt from the same village, her mouth is a bit broken, and she likes to inquire about other people's parents.

Shen Qiuqiu was a little disgusted by her inquiries like checking household registration, but it was not easy to get angry because of her feelings.

On the contrary, Yang Yanhong, who was outspoken, turned the person back, "Aunt Li, you are checking the household registration. What does the job of the other party have to do with you?"

Qin Manxiang also interjected, "Your big girl is already in her twenties this year, are you looking for someone?"

Aunt Li immediately retorted, "My eldest girl works in an electronics factory and earns thousands of dollars a month, so she doesn't have to worry about finding a partner at all."

Qin Manxiang curled her lips, "Then why did she come back alone during the Chinese New Year? She didn't bring her partner back either."

The topic was diverted, and Shen Qiuqiu and Jiang Jincheng were no longer the focus of attention.

Shen Qiuqiu winked at Jiang Jincheng, and the two silently avoided the crowd and entered the strawberry field.

Sitting in the bamboo shed, Shen Qiuqiu breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Jiang Jincheng apologetically, "The people in the village are like this, don't mind."

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Jincheng is also from a rural background, and he is often judged face to face every time he goes back to his hometown, so he doesn't feel offended.

The two sat for a while, and then went to the field ridge with a bamboo basket to pick small strawberries for tasting.

There were many tourists who came to pick the strawberries yesterday, almost all the ripe strawberries were picked; after one night, the new strawberries will ripen again.

Shen Qiuqiu picked a small crimson strawberry like a ruby ​​and held it in his palm, subconsciously sighed, "I don't understand why everyone likes big strawberries, obviously the small ones are sweeter."

Although the small strawberries are small in size, they are all ripe and very sweet.

Jiang Jincheng smiled and echoed, "Well, I also think the smaller ones are sweeter."

Shen Qiuqiu said: "Let's pick a little more and take it home to make strawberry jam at noon, and bring it back to Yunchuan for you to eat."

"Okay, thank you Xiaohua." Jiang Jincheng nodded with a smile.

After a while, Grandpa Shen also brought people to pick strawberries.

They are responsible for picking user orders on the wheat field mall, and they pick large and medium fruits that are seven or eight mature, which will not affect tourists' picking.

Just after nine o'clock, there are cars entering the village one after another.

The Strawberry Fields are also getting bustling.

It's just that there seem to be fewer tourists today than yesterday.

Shen Qiuqiu noticed that some young people took photos under the flower wall for a while, and then left directly.

Most of the tourists who enter the strawberry garden to pick are middle-aged and elderly people, or young couples with children, and there are much fewer young people.

Even Yang Yanhong, who was setting up a stall at the door, noticed something was wrong.

She found Shen Qiuqiu, pulled her aside and whispered, "Xiao Hua, two little girls were buying water at my stall just now, one of them said she wanted to go into the garden to pick strawberries, and the other stopped her, saying that your strawberry garden It’s an unscrupulous store that bullies young girls, who will be scolded if they eat a strawberry, and an old lady who can blackmail people.”

Shen Qiuqiu was confused when he heard this, and asked with a frown, "Did you ask why she said that?"

Yang Yanhong nodded and shook her head again, "I asked, but the little girl refused to tell, and drove away after buying water."

Shen Qiuqiu hadn't finished digesting this matter, and received another call from Li Meixiang.

"Miss Xiaohua, several people called to cancel the table reservations this morning, and six tables have already been cancelled.

Ask the guests why, they don't say anything, my dad said something is wrong, let me ask you if something happened? "

Thinking of what Yang Yanhong said just now, Shen Qiuqiu knew that what happened today was not a coincidence;

But she doesn't know what happened now, so she can only comfort Li Meixiang on the phone, "Don't worry, the farmhouse is still open as usual, I will find a way to check and find out the reason."

"Okay." Li Meixiang responded, and said: "There were a lot of guests yesterday, and many dishes were sold out in the evening. My dad specially prepared forty tables of dishes today... If no guests come, those dishes will be sold out." It’s wasted, and you have to lose a lot of money, right?”

"Don't worry, there will be a solution." Shen Qiuqiu comforted Li Meixiang a few more words before hanging up the phone.
