Pastoral Five Siblings

Chapter 160 Selling Melons

The Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th is a reunion festival. I hope that the moon will be round and people will be round. Yuchun spent money to make a few sets of moon cake molds, peeled a lot of melon seeds, and dried raisins, walnuts, and jujube paste last year. Moon cakes, brown sugar, red bean paste, dried melon, chestnuts, and various fillings, packed into two big boxes.

In this era, few folks eat moon cakes. Only the royal palace and rich people pay attention to eating moon cakes, and the poor don't pay attention to that. Mid-autumn eating moon cakes was not popularized until the Ming Dynasty, and became a national food.

Mr. Chai saw Yuchun's fancy mooncakes, and his eyes widened. This child is really a strange child. She has never been to the palace. How could she know these things and she can make them herself.

"Chun'er, have you ever eaten mooncakes? How did you come up with the idea to make these tricks?" Chai Lao asked, Yuchun was taken aback. She didn't know that there were no mooncakes among the people, and she didn't ask about these things. , because she couldn’t see mooncakes, or the Tao family was so poor that she couldn’t bear to buy mooncakes. She really didn’t think about it last year.

This year, she had a sudden feeling that she missed her parents so much, so she made moon cakes. She had never seen them sold anywhere, and she couldn't say that she had eaten them. "I did it" really got away with it.

Yuchun is not sure about the popularity of mooncakes. She has never seen mooncakes last year. The reason why she likes to make mooncakes is not because she likes to eat mooncakes, but because she misses her parents very much during this reunion festival. She made these mooncakes for her parents. Although they couldn't eat them, it was her own heart.She has no brothers and sisters, and her parents only have her as a daughter. On the day when the whole family should be reunited, the parents must be lonely and miss her very much.

I hope that my parents dream of the moon cakes she made for them, and I hope that I can also dream of the moon cakes my parents set for her. My parents must think that she is dead, and I don’t know how sad they will be.

Would it be comforting if they could dream of the mooncakes they made for them?This is her only wish, and I don't know if it can be realized.

Yuchun looked at the full moon and was in a daze all the time. Friends from previous lives, classmates, grandma, aunts and uncles.I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a happy family reunion.

"Yuchun, what's wrong with you, are you sick?" Li Xue asked worriedly.

"Yeah, Yuchun, why are you always in a daze?" the little girl also asked.

"Nothing. Just sleepy."

Yuchun fell asleep in loneliness.

The little girl and Li Xue came to Yuchun's room several times, and saw Yuchun in a daze.Such a good festival, making so many mooncakes, she should be happy, why is she suddenly silent?With a sad look, could it be that he remembered something sad?

yes!Li Xue and the little girl felt the same way, the fate of the three of them was so similar, without the love of their parents.Without the care of relatives, Yuchun is luckier than the two of them.Yuchun has a brother and a brother, and they and her are of the same mind, they are better than the two of them, and they don't even have a family.

Li Xue felt that the fate of the three little girls was the most miserable, and that he and his aunt's family were very good to him, but the little girl didn't even have any relatives, so Li Xue usually felt sorry for the little girl. Son.

"Little girl, tell me, does Yuchun miss Tao's parents?" Li Xue asked the little girl.

"No way? Do you want them to sell her?" The little girl didn't want Yuchun to think about the people of the Gu family, thinking of them was just looking for trouble.

"Maybe it's because you have relatives but you don't get family affection, so you feel sad?" Li Xue thought this way. Although her father is relatives, it's worse than not having one.

"Yuchun wouldn't miss them that much, would he?" Xiaoya felt that if Yuchun missed them, she would be sad that they always wanted to sell her.

Seeing that Yuchun had fallen asleep, Li Xue saw that she still hadn't raised her brows in her dream, so she couldn't help but sighed distressedly: What's wrong with Yuchun? She has master's care, brother's care, wisdom, and love. Money, ability, everything is better than others, only a pair of vicious parents are missing. After so many years, I should let it go. Why miss them?

People have to think more about themselves when they are alive, and their parents won't feel sorry for them if they are broken by grief.

Li Xue was thinking about the reason why Yuchun was unhappy, and felt that it was not worth it for Yuchun to feel sorry for those who had nothing to do with her.

Li Xue's distress is beyond words. Yuchun is her lifesaver. Yuchun gave her her second life. Yuchun made her and Yongming perfect again. The relationship between her and Yuchun is inseparable. , Yuchun will always be the person she is most grateful for.

She feels that if there is no Yuchun in the world, she will not be able to see the sun, the world will collapse without Yuchun, her fate will plummet without Yuchun, and she will live forever without Yuchun. in panic.

Yuchun is a towering pine and cypress, and she is a thin wisteria.

Li Xue has almost become dependent on Yuchun.

She was worried that Yuchun seemed to be out of spirit, maybe he was sick?

Li Xue sat for a long time before leaving Yuchun, and it took a long time to fall asleep after returning, and she was restless in her sleep. She got up and went to Yuchun's room when the genius was about to shine, and saw Yuchun's face blooming like a flower.

Li Xue went to the kitchen in peace and prepared breakfast.

Yuchun also woke up, she didn't go to bed early last night, Yuchun had another night's dream, dreaming that she went back to her hometown and looked for her parents in the village, but she was so tired that her legs hurt and she ran everywhere , did not find the parents, and finally went around a few times before returning home, but saw the parents were on the kang, the mother was holding a child in her arms, white and fat and cute, the mother looked at the child smiling , it seems that there is no sadness of missing her during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Listening to his father shouting: Son, Yuchun knew that because of his disappearance or death, his parents had no support, so he had a little brother. Yuchun really blessed them, their parents' life is good, and their family property is also heir.

How can a mother in her 50s still have children?Yuchun thought it was impossible.

Yuchun really wanted to know whether she was dead or missing, but a tornado came in and swept her away through the window, and she was happy for her parents vaguely, like a dream.She wants it to be a reality.

It was at this moment when Li Xue came in, Yuchun was smiling beautifully, her parents and successors also relieved her worries, she woke up and felt that it was a dream, and she was also satisfied, thinking that maybe her soul had really returned It's best to really comfort yourself after a trip.

As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, the melon gardens in Yuchun will begin to mature.You can tell how ripe a watermelon is by flicking it with your finger. Yuchun ate melons a lot in his previous life, his grandma's family grew them, and his own also grew them. Yuchun likes to eat melons the most.No matter what kind of melon, she has to pick it by herself. She likes watermelons with sandy flesh, and almost knocks out all the watermelons.She was the one who picked melons. In fact, picking melons is not a difficult technique.It is the experience of knocking melons and eating melons. As long as you eat melons every day, you will be able to practice your skills very well.

After another three to five days, the melons will generally be ripe, and Mr. Chai said: "Have someone send a letter to your eldest brother, telling those big melon storages to come to pull melons in three days, and if they are late, they will lose their share."

"Okay, Master. Who will deliver it?"

"Chun'er, you don't need to worry about this. Someone will send it to you." Mr. Chai said this, Yuchun was willing to worry about it. Her martial arts improved day by day, and she felt that Mr. Chai's hidden guards were hiding not far away. Common people can't find it.

Chai Lao picked the best one and ordered people to pick four carts, saying that someone in the capital entrusted him to buy them, and Chai Rong also asked for them from people close to him. Wrapped in hemp leaves, the watermelon is packed layer by layer with grass, so it may be damaged.

Chai Rong rode on horseback and brought six carriages: "Brother Chai!" Yu Chun picked him up all the way, and Chai Rong dismounted and walked with Yu Chun: "Chun'er, is your master very good?"

"Master is very good! Brother Chai, don't worry." Yuchun shouted from afar, "Master, my elder brother is here!"

"This child! So happy to see your elder brother?" Mr. Chai thought that Yuchun liked his son very much, so he was very happy.

"Master, you never see Big Brother Chai, are you unhappy that he is here?"

"Happy! Happy! In front of me is my beloved son and disciple. Master is so happy."

"Master!...You speak unluckily."

"Hehehe! This girl still believes in those things." Chai Lao opened his mouth and laughed

Every carload of melons and watermelons is estimated, and there is no scale, and Yuchun doesn't have such a heavy scale here.

The price is set by Chai Rong, and the people who buy melons don’t sell them, so they don’t talk about compensation. Every family is rich, and melons can’t be bought in the county. Identity is in charge, and you have to be happy to spend more money.

You spent more money and didn't sell you more, it was because of Chai Rong's face, but Mr. Chai bought all these melons.

Zhongli Mansion only bought one cart, and the price was as Chai Rong said, and Mr. Chai also sold it to Zhongli Mansion because of the face of Zhongli Mansion.

For the four carts delivered to the capital, Mr. Chai gave Yuchun 1000 taels of silver, and Yuchun was taken aback. The melons were too expensive to sell. Jin, each cart is no more than a thousand catties, each cart only needs 20 taels of silver, and four carts can't exceed 100 taels. This... these melons are golden egg melons.

Yuchun knew that Master had silver, but Master didn't buy melons, so how could others be so generous: "Master, don't you have too much money for melons? Don't put them in. If they are your relatives, how can you collect money?"

"Don't think too much, money is what you deserve, and they can't buy it even if they have money, especially such a good melon, they have never seen it before, and they should give four thousand, they have a lot of money, don't waste it No." Mr. Chai insisted on giving it, but Yuchun couldn't refuse, so he accepted the bank note happily instead of being respectful.

The six carts that Chai Rong brought were 50 taels less than the ones in the capital city. Yuchun got 200 taels. There were only three acres of melons in total, and only half of them were picked, and they were sold for more than 2000 taels. For beans, Yuchun wanted to grow melons just as a hobby, and it would make more money than growing other crops.

Who would have thought that selling so much silver would be like a dream, making Yuchun dizzy with excitement.

If there are such buyers every year, wouldn't he become the king of melon growers.

Growing melons is hard work, but it is not as hard as doing barbecue. It is more profitable than doing barbecue for a year.

The carriages left, but Chai Rong stayed behind. He said he would stay with his father for a few days, and he would not leave if he liked to eat melons. While scooping water, everyone sat in the melon shop washing melons and eating melons. Chai Rong even asked, "Will you return the melons that Chun'er promised elder brother?"

Yuchun's bright smile made Chai Rong startled: What is stunning?This is the real surprise, but it's a pity that I may not be able to control my marriage, Chai Rong's eyes dimmed.

Yuchun was a little strange, Chai Rong suddenly became unhappy, was it because he was slow to answer, Yuchun hurriedly said: "Brother, don't say you want a carload of melons, I am also happy that you took all these away. "

Chai Rong could clearly see that Yuchun had misunderstood, and he had no words to explain, he could only cover it up with jokes: "Not so much, not so much, I don't want a car, I don't have a cellar there, I come here a few times a month Just eat enough."

Yuchun still didn't understand why Chai Rong was unhappy. She looked at her master, and Mr. Chai could also see her son's loneliness, so she shook her head without knowing why.

Just when Yuchun was wondering, he heard the sound of horseshoes and luan bells, and smoke and dust floated up on the road. A brown-red horse rushed over. When they reached the melon field, the two immediately turned over and fell off the horse. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
