Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 18
Like the current South Street, it is a place for ordinary consumer groups to buy things. For example, people in neighboring villages come here to buy daily necessities.

There is also a West Street and an East Street in the town. There are many rich people walking around on these two streets. There are also some hawkers setting up stalls there to make a living, but they have to pay five yuan a day to set up a stall there. fee.

Lin Xiaoqiao pestered Li Erhu to go to East Street and West Street to have a look.So, the three of them went to the east and west streets for a stroll. When they got there, Lin Xiaoqiao knew what his little uncle said was true. The streets were full of carriages and sedan chairs.

The shops over there actually sell the same things, but most of the guys there are looking at people with their eyes on the top of their heads, and they didn't visit a few shops.

Lin Xiaoqiao took a closer look at the market here, and it was really rewarding.The bazaar here is not as chaotic as the bazaar where they set up a stall just now, everything is neatly arranged, and there are many vendors selling snacks and the like.

Lin Xiaoqiao took a look, and found that those foods were all the same, and it was not the same as when she was in college in her previous life, the snack street behind the school had many kinds of food.

However, it seems that there are still a lot of people who buy it. It is estimated that the types of snacks of the ancient people are too monotonous and lacking.

Lin Xiaoqiao observed carefully again, it seems that most of the people who come to buy things in the market here are housekeepers, maids and servants of rich families, they are quite willing to spend money, and they are very generous.

The three of them walked around and soon finished shopping on the two streets.Although Lin Xiaoqiao was tired from walking, after a morning of investigation, Lin Xiaoqiao already had some ideas in his mind.She really wants to quickly put her ideas into practice, so that her loving grandma's family can get rid of poverty and become rich.

As for her own family, the Lin family, it's not that Lin Xiaoqiao didn't think about it, but she didn't think that if she made money, she would still have her share when she was so aggressive towards Mrs. Zhou.

She has heard for a long time that Mrs. Zhou has gone through the house of Mrs. Li's couple many times. She has stolen all of Mrs. Li's dowry, and Lin Erniu's occasional part-time wages. It's very clean.

Therefore, Lin Xiaoqiao decided to postpone their family's poverty alleviation plan a little bit. When the family is separated, she will help the family earn money.

Now, she can earn some money and put it with her grandma to prepare for the separation.

Ideas are always beautiful, but reality is always cruel.

Now Lin Xiaoqiao's mind is full of her money-making plans. There are many ideas and ideas in her little head, but there is no suitable opportunity to implement them.After all, she is only eight years old and illiterate. Although she really wants to share her ideas with her little uncle and the others, she doesn't want to be too sharp now, and it would be bad to be suspicious.

Lin Xiaoqiao went back thinking about things all the way. On the way, Li Erhu turned back to the place where they went to the market and set up a stall, and bought two pieces of malt candy for the two sisters.

Although Lin Xiaoqiao was not very rare about this kind of food, Lin Xiaoxi cherished it very much, and she didn't eat it immediately by herself, but put it carefully in her pocket, saying that she would take it home and give it to her two brothers.

Lin Xiaoqiao was particularly touched. Although everyone is poor, their hearts are together. Even if they are not at home, they miss each other.This is the real family relationship!

So, Lin Xiaoqiao followed her elder sister Lin Xiaoxi's example, and carefully put that piece of 'precious' malt candy in her pocket, and prepared to leave it for her two brothers who loved her dearly.

It has been two days since I came back from the market that day, and there was a light rain yesterday, which made Lao Li very happy.It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, and the seeds in the ground have just been sown. This rain is undoubtedly too timely for the farmers.When it rains, the seeds will germinate quickly in the soil.

This morning, Old Li was planning to take his son up the mountain to cut some bamboo and come back to weave bamboo baskets.Now, there is not much work in the field, and all the peasants in the village can weave baskets with both hands, and Old Li is no exception.

There are not many fields in the Li family, and old Li doesn't like to sit idle at home, so he plans to weave some bamboo baskets at home, purely to kill time.After editing, you can keep it for your own use, or take it to the fair next time and sell it.

Lin Xiaoqiao and sister will definitely not miss this kind of excitement. The road is slippery after the rain. Sun didn't want Lin Xiaoqiao and sister to follow, but both of them insisted. , he happily said yes.

So a group of four people, Lao Litou and Li Erhu took machetes and ropes, Lin Xiaoqiao sisters carried bamboo baskets, and happily went up the mountain all the way.

The mountain in Xiaowan Village is to the south of Li’s house, and it’s not too far to walk, it takes only 10 minutes to walk there.Adding up Lin Xiaoqiao's two previous lives, this can only be regarded as the first time to climb the mountain. Although he has climbed the mountain before, those are tourist attractions. Climbing the mountain is like climbing stairs, which is meaningless.

The mountain is densely covered with jungle and overgrown with weeds, and it is very difficult to climb. Fortunately, Mrs. Sun used cloth strips to tie the trouser legs and sleeves for the two sisters before, otherwise there might be some small bugs that got into the clothes.

Lin Xiaoqiao's excitement at the beginning was completely replaced by nervousness. The two sisters held hands and followed the two adults, walking cautiously. Lin Xiaoqiao was very frightened. Suddenly a snake or insect came out of the grass.

After walking for a while, they came to a dense bamboo forest. Old Li, his father and his son, picked up some older bamboos with a machete and chopped them.

Since it just rained yesterday, many tender bamboo shoots emerged from the soil on the ground.

The Lin Xiaoqiao sisters were in charge of digging up some bamboo shoots to add a delicious dish to the Li family's dining table.

The two sisters dug very hard, and soon dug a bamboo basket full of tender bamboo shoots.Lin Xiaoqiao also wanted to see if there were any other resources in the mountains that she could include in her plan to make money.

So, she carried another empty bamboo basket on her back, and pulled Lin Xiaoxi to walk forward.

Old man Li raised his head and told them not to go far.

Holding a thin bamboo in his hand, Lin Xiaoqiao carefully brushed aside the grass all the way, walking in fear.Hey, in order to make money, she really went all out!
Lin Xiaoqiao muttered in his heart, God, for the sake of my sincerity, please help me.

The two walked to a small bush. Lin Xiaoqiao was pleasantly surprised to find that there were many mushrooms growing under the tree. Thinking of the delicious taste of the mushrooms, her mouth was almost drooling.

Lin Xiaoqiao looked at those mushrooms with bright eyes, but seeing that there were many types of mushrooms, she didn't know which ones were edible and which ones were not.
