The fertile farm girl in the portable space

Chapter 38 Green Cucumber Red Tomato
While mowing the grass and enjoying such a beautiful and fresh pastoral scene, Coriander suddenly felt a little comfortable.It has been more than ten years in this era. Although I am poor, I have a mother who treats me well, and I have a lovely brother.

Coriander squinted her eyes, looking at the deep and light green in the distance, the smoke from the cooking in the village, spring has come, and everything will be more prosperous.

Coriander cut a basket full of grass, and sat on the ridge of the field to play for a while.Seeing that it was getting late, he took Dabao to the pond, squatted by the pond, washed the grass in the basket, and vigorously stirred and kneaded it in the basket until the grass in the blue was green and bright, without any mud. Take it home again.

Due to my lack of physical strength, the basket of grass was heavy, and my small body had to walk crookedly with the basket on my arm. When I got home, my arm was very painful. When I opened the sleeve, I saw that my white forearm must be red and swollen.

"Bring it." The old lady snatched it with her hands, looked at it, it was full enough, and she was not lazy or slippery. She hummed a few words, turned around, chopped it up and mixed it into the pig food.

In March, a hundred flowers bloom, pink and willows are everywhere.

"It's a good day today. It's a day for outings. Let's go up the mountain to ask for blessings from the Bodhisattva." The old lady prepared a basket and put white flour buns and black corn buns in it.

"That's not it. I almost forgot, girl, take Dabao and let's go."

Every year at this time, the villagers of Qingshui Village will go for an outing on Yufeng Mountain not far from here.Yufeng Mountain is not high, and there are many temples on the mountain. The villagers will also go to worship the Bodhisattva when they go outing, and ask him to bless the new year with a smooth and prosperous new year.

"Here we come." Coriander was dragging a basket and a big bamboo basket, walking with some difficulty, "Mother, it's too heavy, I can't lift it by myself, please help me."

This is the coriander that went to the space to pick it yesterday.As soon as I went in yesterday, I saw red fruits, long cucumbers, covered with branches, and I was very happy, just in time for the outing.

"What is it?" The old lady had sharp eyes, walked over quickly, and exclaimed in a shrill voice, "Ouch—tomato! Cucumber! It's so big!"

"Mother, you're talking nonsense, where do you get tomatoes and cucumbers in this season?" Mrs. Chen walked over, dragging Dabao who was procrastinating.

"Hey, I still don't believe what the old lady said, come and see for yourself!" The old lady grabbed Mrs. Chen and excitedly pulled her to the basket, "Look. But my old lady's eyesight is blurred? Hmph, eyesight is better than yours."

Chen looked down and was also dumbfounded, unable to speak for a while.

"Mother, don't stay here, you help me carry this basket, I will drag the basket away by myself." Coriander has a headache, how to explain to them, will she treat herself as a freak?It doesn't matter if you don't, in this poor place where people are starving to death, as long as you can get food, you can steal it or touch it, as long as you don't get caught, no one will care where you came from.

"The weather is fine today, and I plan to sell it at Yufeng Mountain."

"Yeah, it's delicious. Elder sister, I want to eat this." Dabao looked at the big round and bright red tomato, licked his little finger, his saliva was about to come down, and he stared at the coriander greedily.

"Good boy, I'll eat it for you later." Coriander lovingly patted his younger brother's head.

"Where did these come from?" Mrs. Chen pulled the coriander over with a stern face, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and return it."

The old lady grabbed Mrs. Chen and said anxiously: "You don't care about this, just eat what you have!"

"Mom, don't worry about where it came from, I planted these myself. Think about it, even if I steal from others, it's not in this season!" Coriander said sternly, rolled her eyes, and suddenly lowered her voice, "Secretly tell you, I found a treasure land in the back mountain. The vegetables I plant - grow faster than ordinary ones."

"Damn child, I won't tell your grandma about such a good thing." The old lady smiled and stared.

"Don't tell others." Coriander deliberately lowered her voice, put her hand to her mouth and whispered: "Outsiders should know, our family has no way to get rich."

"Don't talk, don't talk. Kill me and don't talk." The old lady shouted happily, and rushed forward lightly, "Go, sell cucumbers!"

Out of the village, walk on the country road.From time to time, there are groups of village names on the road, heading towards Yufeng Mountain together.The innocent smiling faces of the children, the loud chatter of the women, the rough jokes of the men, the soft chatter of the old people, everyone talking enthusiastically, the mood that has been suppressed for a whole winter is released, and the days There is hope again.Looking around, the bright sunshine is hot and warm, there are overlapping villages, criss-cross paths, rapeseed flowers with strong colors, colorful wild flowers on the road, and a large field.

The warm wind blows towards the face with a faint fragrance of rapeseed, which is extremely intoxicating.

After taking two cups of tea, I saw Yufeng Mountain from a distance.Yufeng Mountain is neither high nor steep, only a few hundred meters, and the scenery is pleasant, which is very suitable for sightseeing.

In the open field of Yufeng Mountain, there are swings, kite flying, tug-of-war, cockfighting, willow wearing, grass fighting, playing ball, all kinds of activities.From time to time, I heard a series of hearty laughter.

Coriander chose a place where the sellers gathered, and placed the baskets and baskets on the ground.

Only then did Mrs. Chen and the old lady see clearly that the tomatoes and cucumbers in the basket were neatly stacked, but the cucumbers in the basket were cut in half, the seeds in the middle were dug out, and a little sugar was put in the groove.

"It tastes better this way, and I really like to eat it this way." Coriander picked up a cucumber dipped in sugar and gave it to his younger brother, patted his round head lovingly: "Eat carefully, don't drip it on your clothes!"

Dabao nodded obediently, took it and put it into his small mouth, biting it with a "cracking" sound, squinting his eyes and smiling happily, showing round dimples on his cheeks.

The old lady squinted her eyes, thinking, this girl is really smart, she really is a baby of my Hai family, and she doesn't follow the Chen family at all.Looking at the tender, crisp and refreshing cucumber, his throat moved and he swallowed.Then I thought about selling it for money, so I held it back and waited.

When the coriander is placed, it starts to sell: "Let's take a walk and take a look, fresh vegetables! Cucumbers and tomatoes! Cool and refreshing! Refreshing heat and heat! Must-have food for home travel!"

After shouting a few times, Coriander stopped shouting. She believed that the fresh fruits and vegetables on the market this morning should attract people's attention without shouting.

Sure enough, people passing by fell on the delicious cucumbers Dabao was eating, and on the big red and round tomatoes in the basket, they all stopped and rushed over.

"Ouch, look, there are tomatoes so early!"

"Impossible, it's so rare, buy a root and try it!"

"Give me one!"

"I'll take three too."

Coriander was busy selling quickly, collecting money, and changing money.After a while, most of them were sold, and the ones with added sugar were even more expensive.Xi's coriander is from ear to ear.The old lady and Mrs. Chen also joined the ranks of helping.
