Fat Niang makes a fortune in farming

Chapter 132 Making Capers
After a sleepless night, when Meng Kejun woke up, the sun was already high.

After grooming in a hurry, he hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of the breakfast that Mrs. Huang had brought to the table in advance.

"Eat slowly, don't choke!"

Huang Shi was amused by Meng Kejun's wolfish appearance, it was the first time she saw Meng Kejun eating like this, as if someone was trying to snatch her food from her bowl.

After sucking the last mouthful of porridge from the bowl into his mouth, Meng Kejun wiped his mouth, then got up to put the bowls and chopsticks on the table into the kitchen.

"You leave it alone, I'll come, I'll come!" Huang quickly put down the dustpan and walked over, then snatched the bowls and chopsticks from Meng Kejun's hands.

Meng Kejun didn't refuse, but went to the eaves and took down the basket hanging on the wall.

Looking at Dong Jingye who was sitting under the eaves and dustpan, there were already a lot of woven dustpan baskets piled up behind him, and it seemed that he had to wait for an opportunity to sell them in the town someday.

"Father! Can you make a bench? It's just a small one, the kind you can sit on wherever you carry it?"

"Yes! This bench is much lighter than weaving a dustpan basket. What do you need a bench for?"

Dong Jingye stopped chopping bamboo slices, looked up at Meng Kejun in puzzlement, wondering why she wanted to make a bench by herself all of a sudden.

"Then I can't tell you this yet!"

Meng Kejun laughed, but decided to keep it a secret from them first, and then tell them when he had chosen a date to open, and give them a surprise.

"Okay, if you don't talk about it, don't talk about it. I will go to the back mountain to chop some rough logs later, and start working on the bench in the afternoon!"

Dong Jingye also laughed, his wrinkled face was full of smiles.

"Father, remember to do more!"

After saying this, Meng Kejun turned around and walked out of Dong's courtyard with a basket on his shoulders.

As soon as I walked to the gate of Maisui's house, I saw Maisui climbing up and down in her yard, sweating profusely from exhaustion.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

Meng Kejun carried the basket and walked in, wondering if he could be of any help.

"The cowpea is about to collapse, I picked all the ones that were about to wilt, and then pulled out all the seedlings!"

Seeing Meng Kejun coming in, Maisui quickly got out from under the cowpea rack with a basket in his hand, and the basket in his hand was filled with a lot of freshly picked cowpeas.
"Let me help you!" Seeing that there are still many cowpeas hanging on the seedling rack, it takes a lot of effort to pick and peel the seedlings by one person.

"No, don't delay you from doing serious things, I don't need much effort by myself!"

Maisui quickly waved her hand to prevent Meng Kejun from doing anything, saving her time.

"I don't have any serious business. I just want to go to Qianshan to pick some green plums. It doesn't take much effort!"

Before he finished speaking, Meng Kejun had already put down the basket on his hands, and rolled up the sleeves on his wrists.

"Why do you want to go to the front mountain to pick green plums? There are several green plum trees in the land next to the mountain in the backyard of my house! There are a lot of green plums on them, and no one picks them. If you want to pick them, I will take you right away." go!"

Hearing that Meng Kejun said that he was going to pick greengage fruit, Maisui immediately thought of the greengage tree in his home. Eating one of the greengage fruit can make a row of teeth sour, and no one wants to give it away for free.

"That's a good relationship. It saves me from going all the way to Qianshan."

Meng Kejun burrowed into the cowpea rack and quickly picked off the wilted cowpea rack.

"Sister-in-law, you can't help but put the cowpeas. If you pick so many at once, it will be empty tomorrow. Why don't you save some tomorrow to pick them up and sell them in the town!"

Such a high temperature can easily volatilize the water content of the cowpea, forming a dry flat shell, which not only affects the taste, but also easily rots and deteriorates.

"I know that too, but there's nothing I can do. The price of cowpeas is cheap this year. Even if I take all of them and sell them in the town, I won't be able to sell them for much money, and I will waste my time. For some of the time I wasted, I will earn back by embroidering two more purses." Already!"

If Meng Kejun hadn't assigned her the job, she would have taken all these cowpeas and sold them. Now that she has more money to work on, she doesn't want to waste time on it.

"The price is not good, so I picked them all and ate them myself. I dried half of them to make dried beans, and soaked the other half in salt water to make capers!"

"It's good to make capers!" Hearing Maisui's words, Meng Kejun immediately had another idea. She quickly got out from under the seedling stand and ran to Maisui's side.

"Sister-in-law, sell all these cowpeas to me!"

"What?" Mai Sui didn't understand Meng Kejun's words, the chat was going well, why did she suddenly let herself sell cowpeas to her.

"Sister-in-law, come here, and I'll talk to you in detail!"

Meng Kejun quickly pulled the ears of wheat under the arbor, and then told her his thoughts in detail.

"Sell all your cowpeas to me at the market price, and I will use them all to make capers."

"What do you do with so many capers?"

Maisui was surprised that there were so many cowpeas, all of which were made into capers, but the few members of Jun's family couldn't finish eating them in a few months.

"Don't worry about it, just sell it to me! Also, sister-in-law, do you want to use those big jars in the corner with you? If you don't need them, you can sell them to me too!"

Speaking of which, Meng Kejun stretched out his fingers and pointed to several large jars under the wall of the Maisui Courtyard. The large jars turned upside down in the corner were covered with sand, and it seemed that they hadn't been touched for many days.

"What else do you need to buy? Just take it and use it!" Hearing that Meng Kejun wanted to buy jars that he didn't use, Maisui immediately stood up and moved out the dirty jars from the corner of the wall one by one.

"These big jars were originally used by my man to make wine, but now that other people are gone, and I don't drink, it's useless to keep such a big jar. If you want to use it, take it, don't talk about buying it. , We are all called life divisions!"

Meng Kejun hurried over to help, "That's no good, you bought this jar with money, how can you not want money!"

Maisui's sister-in-law brought Crescent Moon, orphans and widows, life is not easy, they can earn a living, and I can't use favors to take advantage of them.

"Then if you want to say that, I won't give you this jar! It's something I don't need, and it will be broken sooner or later if you keep it here. It's just right for you to take it away, and give me an empty space!"

Maisui's stubbornness also came up, she knew that Meng Kejun didn't want to take advantage of her, and thought that she could give herself two more money to make her life easier, but although she is poor, she has a little bit of what she should be No more shabby than others.

Seeing that Mrs. Maisui was in a hurry, Meng Kejun knew that he could no longer argue with her, so he nodded quickly, "Okay! Okay! Then I will move these big jars back, and you cowpea, I want them all. But we can agree on this in advance, how much we weigh, and the price on the market, we will calculate according to that price, but we can’t lose a penny!”

"Okay! You can do whatever you want!" Maisui was amused by Meng Kejun's words. In the entire Wangjiatun, only their Dong family is so unwilling to take advantage of others.
