Chapter 100 Jinlan River

The few days before the Dragon Boat Festival are the busiest days that Meiberry has experienced since she traveled here.

The first two days were preparations, such as cutting reed leaves, cooking red bean paste, steaming glutinous rice, all of these were fine.

The main thing is to beat the glutinous rice in the stone mortar, which is really exhausting.

For the job of making glutinous rice, their family can only fall on Mei Youqian's head.

According to her dad, the biceps have gotten bigger these days.

Making zongzi and making cakes is naturally Meiberry's mother with Li Cuihua and Miao.

#Excuse me, how to bring two social fears to work together to enliven the atmosphere?Wait online! #
On weekdays, if you take Miao out to chat, there will be other talking aunts present, so you won't be afraid that the scene will turn cold.

But now that her mother is facing two social threats alone, Mei Berry only feels that she has cooked more tea in the past two days.

Even when she dreamed back in the middle of the night, Mei Berry woke up with all kinds of dream talk from her parents.

Either "I won't fight, I won't fight anymore", or "You guys should say something to me!"

Due to the suffering of my parents, plum berries are no longer available.

Relying on the characteristics of both physical strength and manual waste, Meiberry can only be accompanied by her own stove in the past few days, burning fire every day.

At home, she cooks bean paste, zong leaves, and zongzi basically by her.

Occasionally, throw some eggs into the rice dumpling pot, or pick up a boiled fried rice dumpling, the plum berries are delicious.

As a result, when Mei You found Mei Berry, she saw Mei Berry squatting behind the stove and eating eggs like a little squirrel.

"I saw a cart made of bamboo in the yard. Did your father make it for your mule?"

Meiyou got straight to the point and mentioned the cart she saw at Mei Berry's house today.

"Well, in this way, you don't have to rub other people's carts when you go to the streets. Although the mules are not as powerful as the old cows for the time being, they can still carry your family or pull goods."

In the past two days, her father used bamboo to make a light cart suitable for mule cubs based on the bullock cart he had been riding in and the size of the mule cub.

Thinking of the time when they rode in an ox cart before, and the old ox cart pulled six or seven people, not to mention Mei Berry, even Mei Youqian felt distressed when he saw it.

My own mules can't be treated like this in the future.

Therefore, the mule cart is not too big, and it can accommodate at most three or four people.

Mei Jia nodded. She came to find Mei Berry this time, but she had other things to do.

She wanted to make an appointment with Mei Berry to go to the county together some time after the Dragon Boat Festival.

For the previous soap, all the ratios have been calculated at sevens and eighty-seven. After the Dragon Boat Festival, Mei You will fully implement this matter.

Mei Berry agreed to Mei You without even thinking about it.

Just such a group of people have been busy for several days. The morning before the Dragon Boat Festival, Mei Berry's family loaded the dumplings and pastries into the car before dawn.

In the morning, the family of three let the mule get used to pulling the cart, and the three of them didn't even get on the cart, and only let the mule pull the goods.

When they arrived in the town, as soon as Lin Shoucai's shop opened, they saw Mei Berry and his family delivering zongzi.

"The zongzi with these kinds of fillings have different flavors, and the colors of the silk threads wrapped on the outside are also different. There are corresponding fillings and colors written on it."

After all, Mei Youqian handed Lin Shoucai the small yellow paper that he often used at home, and what surprised Lin Shoucai was that the family in front of him could read.

This piece of paper was also planned by Mei Berry and the others at home.

People who can read these days are considered capable.

I have cooperated with Lin Shoucai twice, so I don't know if they will have any business relationship in the future.

With this stubble, Lin Shoucai's own thoughts of looking down on their family or wanting to take advantage of them will be restrained.

As Mei Berry and the others thought, when Boss Lin took the paper and looked at Mei Berry and his family, the expression on his face changed slightly.

It seems that there are not many changes, but they definitely take their family's literacy to heart.

"Thank you for the reminder. I was thinking about how to distinguish them, but this reminder really solved my urgent need."

With that said, Lin Shoucai quickly settled the rest of the final payment to Mei Youqian, no more and no less.

"Although these snacks are not as exquisite as those in the restaurant, they are still our family's heart. Thank you, Boss Lin, for taking care of our small business these days."

After receiving the money, Mei Youqian handed over the homemade Toutiao Cake and Sesame Oil Mung Bean Cake to the other party.

I didn't make much this time, I made 40 copies of each dim sum and kept them for sale in the town.

Because it was for Lin Shoucai, Mei Youqian specially made a small gift box of better quality to put the snacks in it.

"You're welcome."

Lin Shoucai took the small delicate bamboo box, and was even more surprised by the small snacks inside.

"Good craftsmanship!"

"So-so." Seeing that he accepted it, Mei You left after a few words of humility.

Wei Meili took the mule cubs to the downtown area to sell dim sum.

Mei Youqian had to go to the pier outside the town with her daughter to wait for the boat early in the morning.

The pier outside Lihu Town is less than one kilometer away from the town, and the father and daughter soon arrived at the pier.

The father and daughter asked the people on the pier about the boat to the county, and after paying the boat fare, the father and daughter boarded the boat.

However, because everything was fresh, the father and daughter did not choose to enter the cabin, but stood on the outside deck watching the scenery on the pier in the early morning.

Even in the early morning, the pier in Lihu Town is very lively.

Lihu is like a natural harbor, where many north-south boats are moored, and there are even inns outside the pier.

The inn looked a bit bigger than the ones in the town, very grand.

There are a few shabby sheds next to the inn, and it’s hard to see clearly what to eat inside from a long distance away. Most of the people who consume in these sheds are workers working on the wharf.

Intuition tells Mei Youqian that these things are probably not very tasty.

"There are still a lot of food businesses in this pier~"

Mei Berry saw that her father hadn't been quiet for two seconds before chatting with the boatman who was resting on the deck.

"Hey, it's convenient after all."

"It looks delicious to me~"

"Where is there? It's just that you can eat enough. Although the price is affordable, but the others..." The boatman shook his head and stopped talking, but everything was in his mouth.

"There are a lot of boats coming to this pier to rest every day, so the business of the inn is probably very good."

"Yes, every year just before spring and before winter, there are surprisingly many boats here, and sometimes even boats can't get in."

Mei Berry listened to it for a while, and then she didn't want to listen to the chat between his father and the boatman. Mei Berry looked around, but saw an acquaintance with sharp eyes——

Lin Shoucai, the grocery store owner.

At this time, he was not in the store, but with only a few people around him, he carried two baskets of plum berries and not familiar rice dumplings onto a big boat behind their house.

That boat... Mei Berry took a second look, compared to other boats with many people walking around, it seemed extraordinarily deserted.

"That ship is so strange?" Mei Berry pretended to be naive and interjected into the chat between her father and the boatman, and even led them to take a look at the big boat Mei Berry mentioned.

"Yo, that ship... looks so ruthless, it must have stopped here temporarily, right?"

The boatman has been on the river between Lihu and Jinbai County countless times. He has no impression of this kind of boat at all, and it is definitely the first time he has come here.

"Oh, uncle, do people in the town usually take your boat to go to the county?"

"That's not necessarily true. Some people go to the county to do business, and they will choose some large-scale cargo ships. Here, they usually carry people. They leave when they are full~" The uncle laughed haha, and scanned Glancing at the cabin, he smiled and said, "Look, shouldn't it be time to go~"

After all, he yelled.

Seeing this, Mei Youqian dragged his daughter into the cabin and found a seat next to each other.

Although the boatman uncle said that his boat only carried people, it is rare that the people sitting in the cabin like their father and daughter really didn't hold anything at all.

The boat gradually pulled out of the pier, and Mei Berry watched the surrounding scenery change constantly through the open window in the cabin. Finally, she couldn't sit still anymore and left the cabin again.

Standing on the deck and looking at the wide river, Mei Berry took a deep breath and murmured softly, "This is the Jinlan River."

Because it is early summer, the mountains on both sides of the river are beautiful and beautiful, the villages under the mountains are crisscrossed, and the fields are like fields. When I admire it carefully, Mei Berry even recognizes her own village and the back mountain.

"Wow!"

This kind of vision made Mei Berry marvel at the magnificent scenery, but at the same time, she suddenly discovered a problem——

"Dad, do you think the course of the Jinlan River is higher than the ground?"

Mei Berry stood on the boat and looked at the mountains on both sides. She thought it was weird before, but she couldn't tell.

Now when she looked at her own village in the distance, Mei Berry realized that her perspective was from top to bottom!

Before she crossed this kind of terrain, their mother river seemed to have the same situation.

In history, because of diversions, embankment bursts, and floods caused by the mother river, I don’t know how many people have been displaced and left their homes.

"Yeah, such a river... just in case..."

Mei Youqian glanced around and found that there was no one where their father and daughter were standing, so he dared to whisper: "If this is a river breach... everyone will be finished."

"Dad, have you forgotten what I said about next year?"

The book mentioned the flood next summer. If the family had only had a vague idea before, now, looking at the river above the ground, Mei Berry instantly understood why the flood would cause such a big disaster.

Just when Mei Berry was worried about what happened afterwards, she heard her father say, "Why don't we go to the county to see if the terrain is high, let's buy a house there.

When the accident is about to happen next year, our family will bring the whole family of the third child to the county! "

In the past, I heard my daughter often say not to stay away from the protagonist, but to follow closely to check in and complete system tasks.

But the flood is ruthless. Maybe if people disappeared because of the failure to check in, their family would have to suffer because of the flood.

If this is the case, Mei Youqian's idea is much simpler than that of Mei Berry, it is better for their family to turn to the guest, and then run away with the heroine!
 Mei Youqian: I ran to the county ahead of schedule with the heroine's family.

  Mei Berry: What if the county is not allowed?

  Mei Youqian: Then go to Fucheng!
  Mei Berry: What about Fucheng?
  Mei Youqian: ...then you can ask the heroine where we are going.

  Plum Berry: ...

  Important people are in the boat behind!But I won't show up for now~
  New Acura will appear!
