Farmer's happy event

Chapter 29
After a few spring rains, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it's time to change into unlined shirts.

Mrs. Yang took apart the cotton-padded clothes and trousers that the family wore in winter, washed them, dried the cotton inside and put them away, while she continued to wear the outer layer of jacket as a single shirt.

Lianzi finally understands why these clothes look so old. It turns out that they depend on them all year round, which is really hard work.Although this is the case, Lianzi felt urgently that it was time for the family to add new clothes.

But now their family's spare money has been spent on repairing the house, buying farm tools, buying seeds, and buying all kinds of messy supplies. There is no spare money to buy clothes.

Is it going to be like this?Lianzi couldn't help frowning, of course not, she still has to make money.

As for what to do?Sell ​​medicinal materials?But it doesn't make much money.Sell ​​dried fruit?It's the off-season now, and it's not easy to sell. Even Liu Jinglin's small baskets are no longer made, because they are so rarely used.

Preserved fruit, thinking of preserved fruit, Lianzi suddenly remembered that she had a dream a few days ago, dreaming that she ate a basket of strawberries.At the beginning, I still thought it was interesting, why did I have this dream?Now that I think about it, I really want to eat strawberries.

At that time, strawberries were relatively expensive. I don’t know how the prices are in this era.It's just that strawberries are not suitable for storage, and they must be eaten soon after picking. Presumably at this time, after spring, it will be very difficult to eat strawberries again.

Thinking of this, Lianzi's eyes suddenly brightened.That's right, isn't she good at making candied fruit? She can definitely make strawberries into candied fruit.Preserved fruit in the north and candied fruit in the south must be very delicious when made into candied fruit.

Thinking of this, Lianzi wanted to give it a try.However, this initial investment has not yet come to fruition.The only thing the family can sell for some money is probably some medicinal materials prepared a few days ago.But how much can it sell for, at most it's half hanging money.If you want to make preserved fruit and candied fruit, I'm afraid it will cost you a tael of silver just to buy strawberries, and you don't know how much you can sell.

No matter what, let's get together the money at home first, and find more if you can.

Lianzi got off the kang, put on her shoes, and ran to a corner opposite the kang, where there was a high stool, on which were the medicinal materials made by lotus seeds.

"Are you going to sell it?" Seeing the small figure of Lianzi holding the medicinal materials on the high stool, Gu Zi walked over to help her.

Lianzi frowned and said, "No, it's not enough."

"Do you want to dig some more?" Gu Zi said, "What did you say last time that it was called Polygala, can you dig it now?"

Lianzi patted her forehead when she heard the words, yes, there is Polygala, how could she forget Polygala, it is a more valuable medicinal material.

"Yes, yes, yes," Lianzi said repeatedly, "Let's dig."

Gu Zi was a little helpless, this little sister really heard that the wind is the rain.But she didn't delay, and went to the stove to get a basket and a small shovel, and ordered beans and chestnuts, and the four sisters walked up the mountain again.

If Guzi hadn't reminded her, Lianzi would have almost forgotten Yuanzhi on the mountain.It was hard to find Polygala that had already dried up, how could it be forgotten so easily.

When I went to the mountain, I saw that Polygala, which was still withered in winter, has sprouted again at this time, and its leaves are bright green, which makes people feel like they have seen hope.

Lianzi took a small shovel and carefully dug out the roots of a polygala plant and put it into a small basket.Polygala only needs to take its rhizome to make Polygala tube and Polygala meat, and the other leaves can be taken home and fed to livestock.

Lianzi's family does not have livestock, which is why she wants to work hard to make money, and wants to buy some chickens and cows to feed.

In the winter before, everything was sluggish, and there were not many discoveries. Now, looking at it, there are quite a lot of Polygala on the mountain.If all these are done well, it should be able to sell for a lot of money.

The more she thought about it, the more vigorous she became, Lianzi couldn't help but intensified her movements, and only went home when every girl's basket was full of herbs.

After returning home, Lianzi couldn't wait to start packing these things.

The quantity excavated this time was so large that a small pile was piled up.Lianzi moved a few small benches and placed them in the yard, and took a few sisters to sit on them. She carefully cut off all the leaves on them with scissors, exposing the green and glossy Polygala stalks.

According to the thickness of Polygala rhizome, some lotus seeds are hammered with wooden sticks or kneaded by hand, and the wooden core is taken out to make Polygala tube and Polygala meat. The very thin ones are washed and placed directly under the sun If it is dried in the sun, it can be made into polygala sticks.

After the batch of medicinal materials were ready, Lianzi packed them up by category, and only waited for them to be sold in Dr. Xu's medicine cabinet when he was free to go to town.

The sun in spring is better than that in winter.The medicinal materials were dried within a few days, and Lianzi collected the polygala, and planned to send them to the town to sell tomorrow.

"Mother, where can I grow strawberries?" During dinner, Lianzi asked casually.

Yang thought it was just lotus seeds that were greedy and wanted to eat them, so she said, "There are some sold in the village, I will buy some for you then."

Seeing that Mrs. Yang misunderstood her meaning, Lianzi hurriedly expressed her idea of ​​making strawberry preserves and candied fruit.

"Okay, okay," Li Zi immediately agreed.Although making these things is really tossing people, but the taste is really good.Strawberries are delicious, but if they are made into candied fruit and candied fruit, wouldn't it be even more delicious?Li Zi was moved immediately.

Yang thought much more, thought for a while and asked: "It's time, isn't it hard to sell?"

"We're not selling it now," Lianzi explained. It's really not easy to sell now. "Let's take advantage of the strawberry season and make it first. Even if we don't sell it, we can keep it well and sell it when there are no strawberries. Go out, won't someone buy it?"

"It's not easy to preserve it in summer, people will be eaten by bugs before they eat it." Yang said again.

Yang's concerns are not unreasonable. These dried fruits, especially sweets, are particularly serious for bugs in summer, but if they are made into candied fruit, this problem should be solved.

"If you really want to eat it, let's buy less. As for preserved fruit, it's better not to make it, and don't waste money then." Yang seemed to disagree with Lianzi's proposal.

Lianzi was well aware of Yang's temper, and knew that there would be no results if she continued to talk, so she simply stopped talking and left it for a long-term discussion later, but the strawberry season will soon be out of season, and it can't be delayed for too long.

On the second day, for the first time this time, Yang Shi and Liu Jingren not only brought lotus seeds to the town, but also brought the other three girls with them.This time they separated, they don't have to be sneaky like before, even buying something for their children, and dare not spend money if they have money.

Although it is not the first time to go to town, the girls in the family are still very excited.Since last night, Lizi has been yelling for Mrs. Yang to bring her to buy flowers.Lianzi couldn't tell, Lizi played with a group of boys all day, how could he love these flowers?
After arriving in the town, Liu Jingren found a place to park the ox cart, got on the basket and took the whole family to Dr. Xu's clinic.

Dr. Xu happened to be sitting in the medical hall today, and when he heard that Lianzi and the others had come to deliver medicinal materials again, he got up and greeted with a smile.

After getting along with each other a few times, Dr. Xu may also understand that this family has no intention of sending their daughter to be an apprentice, so he dispelled this idea himself.In this way, getting along will no longer feel awkward.

"But it's been a while since I've come." Dr. Xu greeted with a smile, let Lianzi's family sit down, and asked the waiter to serve tea.

Yang said with a smile: "Isn't this busy planting peanuts? Only when the planting is over can I have some free time. Come here."

Doctor Xu glanced at the medicinal materials in the basket in Liu Jingren's hand, and said with a surprised smile, "There is still Polygala this time?"

"Yes." Lianzi smiled sweetly, "I just did it according to the book, and I don't know how it is done. Doctor Xu, please show me."

Dr. Xu bent down and picked a few times in the basket, looked at the polygala tube, polygala meat and polygala stick inside, nodded repeatedly and said: "Not bad, not bad, it has benefited a lot."

"Where is it? It's because Doctor Xu taught well. Otherwise, Lianzi is a little girl, how can she make these things?" Yang always feels very happy when others praise her child, but she can't express it too obviously. no?

Doctor Xu praised a few more words, and then called the waiter over to weigh it.This time, apart from Polygala, there were a lot of miscellaneous medicinal materials, and they were sold for a total of seven or eight hundred yuan, which was also within Lianzi's expectation.

Although the seven or eight hundred yuan is much less than the income from selling preserved fruits, it is not bad for the current family situation.

After bidding farewell to Dr. Xu, the family entered the market in a good mood.From morning until now, she was already hungry, so Yang ruthlessly sat down with Liu Jingren and a few children at a small stall, each ordered a bowl of wontons, and ate deliciously.

After eating, I went to buy some hair flowers for each girl, and I bought some needlework and other things for myself.

After calculating the lotus seeds, after deducting the money to buy strawberries, there are about [-] cash left over, which is more than enough to buy a ruler and make a gown for everyone.So I wanted to persuade Mrs. Yang to buy some cloth and make new clothes. Their clothes were so old that the lotus seeds felt like they could be torn apart by force.

Yang disagreed at first, saying that the clothes were well worn and there was no need to waste money on making new ones.After soaking the lotus seeds and chestnuts for a long time, I had no choice but to agree.

The four girls happily followed Mrs. Yang into a cloth pile, and picked out a piece of ruler head sprinkled with red flowers. Yang talked about the price for a long time, and then happily walked out of the cloth pile with cloth in her arms. Get on the ox cart when you came.

Lizi thought that she would have new clothes to wear soon, and chattered happily all the way, even saying that when she grew up, she would wear new clothes every day.

　This week, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and July will be double-updated, and the time for the second update will be set at [-] pm.

　　PS: I just remembered that there is such a thing as being on the new book list, so let’s count the votes, I’m teary, I won’t let everyone vote in vain.
