Traveling through the money-making life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 1246 Picking Mulberries

A few days passed by in a flash. On this day, Chen Rou was washing clothes in the yard behind her house, Bean Sprouts was playing with pebbles beside her, and Da Zhuang was eating her own paws in the handcart next to her, silly Ah took out the quilts on the bed and dried them in the sun.

After washing the clothes, Chen Rou was about to go to the stream to put the clothes, when Su Liniang entered her house, she was holding two small and exquisite baskets in her hand, and there was a piece of cloth in the basket, wondering what she was doing here, Su Liniang opened mouthed.

"Rou'er, we made an appointment to go to the back mountain to pick mulberries, do you want to go now?"

"My clothes haven't been washed yet, how about another day?" Chen Rou shook the wooden barrel in her hand, the wooden barrel was full of clothes and sheets.

"What the hell, you don't know. This mulberry looks the same every day. It's ripe today, but it won't be sure tomorrow. It might fall off. If you're like this, go pick some with your sister and eat it." I'm full, sister will go with you to arrange clothes again, what do you think?"

The kindness is hard to turn down, and there is a free labor, Chen Rou agreed without thinking.

"Tangtang, my sister is going to get some food. When you come back later, you should take care of the house first, and Da Zhuang will take care of it."

Da Zhuang is the youngest, so Chen Rou is naturally more concerned.

"I see, sister, don't worry." Just as the quilt was drying, the silly girl went to the backyard, hugged one in her arms, carried the other in her hand, and immediately carried the two little guys to the patio to play with rabbits.

Chen Rou found two cleaner baskets from home, but she didn't put them away because mulberries were easy to break.

When the two went to the back mountain, the mulberries in the back mountain had indeed grown very well. The purple-black mulberries were hanging on the tree. From a distance, they looked like grapes. Thinking of the grapes grown at home, Chen Rou She is in a good mood, and she will eat everything after a while.

The mulberries are relatively small and easy to be crushed, so you must pay special attention when picking them. Chen Rou and Su Liniang are careful, and when they have picked all the mulberries that they can reach with both hands, let alone two baskets. Not enough baskets.

"Liniang, isn't our posture too scary?" Chen Rou raised another empty basket in her hand.

"Never mind it, let's come again tomorrow, this time I'll ask Youzi to build a ladder, otherwise the rice seedlings will be planted right away, and he won't have time."

As soon as the mulberry matures, it's almost time to transplant rice seedlings. There are so many fields this year, not to mention her, even the two daughters in the family may have to go to the field.

"Liniang, this mulberry should be more than just this one tree?" Chen Rou asked with a smile.

"Of course not. On the road leading to Wang Village, there are many mulberry trees at Wang Tianbao's house. It's just that it used to be close to Widow Wang's house. Everyone was hiding from the plague, so no one went there."

Widow Wang is now in town, and so is Tianbao. The letter a few days ago said that Tianbao has become a scholar, and he is preparing for the next exam.

Chen Rou wasn't worried about Widow Wang and Tianbao Wang at all. Instead, she was her godfather and mother. She hadn't seen them for so long, so she didn't know what was going on with them.

"What's the matter, Rou'er, why did you say half of this?"

Only then did Chen Rou come to her senses. "I want to ask if this mulberry can be picked and sold in the town?"

"Yes, it is possible, but that thing is worthless."

"Why is it worthless?" Chen Rou was curious.

"There are a few mulberry trees in the town, if anyone wants to eat them, just pick them there."

"What if it was sold in the county?"
