Chapter 29 Golden Vegetables

"My family's food, what's the matter if I cut it off with a knife! Let alone five hundred Wen, it's 500 taels...uh!"

Halfway through the talk, he finally understood what the five hundred cash for a knife of green vegetables meant.

The little daughter-in-law who was holding a straw rope to tie the vegetables next to her let go of her hands in shock. The vegetables dropped all over the floor, and she hurriedly picked them up again, and she tied her hands again and dared not move.

A knife of spinach weighs half a catty and can be sold for five hundred cash, which means that a catty sells for one tael of silver!
This is one tael of silver!

I bought enough grain to feed a family of five for two months, enough fabric to make two sets of brand new clothes, enough to buy two jars of good wine and two packs of good snacks...

The vegetable garden was quiet, except for the slight hum of the grass curtains blown by the north wind, there was no other sound.

The vegetable seedlings in the vegetable shed are carefully looking at the world against the wind.Their original emerald green color has now turned golden yellow in the eyes of everyone.

Yes, it is the color of gold.This is not a vegetable, it is a treasure made of gold!

At this time, old shopkeeper Chen and Xiaomi rushed over.

The unscheming Lu Wu was the first to jump forward and grab the girl's arm, and asked anxiously, "Sister, do our vegetables really sell for one tael per catty?"

Lu Xiaomi glanced at the crowd indiscriminately, intending to muddle through, but her second brother, who was the most careless, raised the topic, and there might be news about this matter from the city in the future, so it's not good to keep it a secret .

So he nodded and said, "This is the first batch of green vegetables. If you eat them fresh, the price will naturally be a bit more expensive, and it will definitely drop after a while."

The villagers heard this, and although they didn't admit it explicitly, it was enough for them to understand.

He had previously privately said that millet growing vegetables was a mess, but now he wanted to slap himself a few times.Whoever tosses and tosses golden vegetables that can cost a catty and a tael of silver, quickly bring a dozen to his house!

Almost [-] catties of green vegetables are enough for a family to live comfortably for a year.

If you don't see it with your own eyes and hear it with your own ears, who can believe it?

But now this matter is clearly in front of my eyes, are you envious, jealous?

Of course there are some, such a good girl, why was she not born in their family...

Xiaomi felt the same as the green vegetables in the vegetable shed at the moment, it was really about to be cooked by everyone's scorching eyes.

She coughed twice, and quickly changed the topic, "Two more vegetable sheds are vacant. After a while, the uncles and aunts will help me move out another batch of vegetable seedlings. In addition, I will cut some more green vegetables, and each family will take two catties back to taste. indivual…"

"Oh, this is impossible!" Before Xiaomi finished speaking, a group of women and men almost jumped up and shouted, "It's not easy to cut such an expensive vegetable!"

"That's right, it's better to keep the silver for sale!"

"It's not that I haven't eaten green vegetables, I'm afraid I'll vomit every day after a few months! Jingui is so easy to waste!"

While talking, the young daughters-in-law were afraid that Xiaomi would insist, so they directly covered the vegetable shed.

Xiaomi couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it. After thinking about it, he had to call Xiaodao and the younger generation, "Brother Xiaodao, wait for me to make a list. You will help my elder brother go to the city to buy some wine and meat tomorrow morning."

Xiaodao's younger generations naturally responded with open eyebrows and a smile, "Don't worry, Miss Xiaomi, I'll take care of it for you neatly!"

Xiaomi thanked them, and then turned to everyone, "Aunts and uncles, we grow some vegetables at home, and we have been tossing everyone from the beginning. Now that the vegetable gold has been sold, the capital has been recovered, and it is time to celebrate. At noon tomorrow, big pieces of meat and big bowls of wine are enough! Uncles and aunts must come!"

"Xiaomi is too polite!"

"Okay, let's be happy too. The children will also go. If they learn a little bit of Xiaomi's aura, the family won't have to worry about their future."

Everyone talked in a hurry, but they all agreed happily.

After many days of hard work finally saw the results, the joy in Xiaomi's heart almost overflowed.I want to laugh when I see the sun, I want to laugh when I see the mountains and forests, I want to laugh when I see the pots and pans.

She was in such a good mood, and the direct result was that the dinner table of the Lu family was almost collapsed again.

The rest of the New Year's goods during the Chinese New Year were all made into delicious dishes and brought up, and everyone who ate it was full again.

After washing the bowls and chopsticks, Xiaomi is going to make a list. It stands to reason that now that the vegetables are harvested at home, Old Master Feng and Uncle Bi will send some vegetables as a thank you gift.But today the villagers know the price of green vegetables, and they are afraid that they will be scolded by the two old people even if they send them.How about buying some tobacco leaves or snacks and tea leaves tomorrow, which look neat and can be handed out.

As she was thinking about it, she saw Father Lu waving at the door of the main room.

These days, Father Lu has become the husband of naughty children in the village. I don't know if he has contaminated the vitality of the children. He has a better appetite and a lot of energy.Seeing Huanxi, Xiaomi grinned and ran over.

"Father, are you calling me something?"

Father Lu's expression was a bit complicated, he led his daughter into the room and sat down, and even poured her a cup of tea with his own hands, before finally saying, "Xiaomi, father knows, you have really worked hard for this family."

Xiaomi was taken aback when he heard that. The always unreliable father is almost a typical example of not caring about worldly things and not caring about common things. Why did he suddenly think of praising her, a girl who is out of line in words and deeds?Is there something not to say?
Thinking of this, she responded cautiously, "Father, I don't work hard, I should."

Father Lu coughed twice, turned the blue and white teacup in his hand, and then said, "Well, Xiaomi, you see, people in the village have really helped our family a lot these days. Well, the sages have something to say ..."

"Father," seeing that the old man was going to talk at length again, Xiaomi hurriedly interrupted the conversation, and said very sincerely, "If you have something to say, I will promise it, and I will definitely agree."

"Okay, that's good." Unaware of the leeway in the girl's words, Father Lu obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and continued, "I mean, the villagers helped a lot earlier, did you put the vegetable grower Teach them how to do it. You see, our family has sold so much silver and lives in the same village, so they must feel uncomfortable. As time goes by, people are not enough, and they are prone to some greed. Besides, our family... may still be in the future. You have to rely on these folks for help. You..."

"Father, it turned out to be this matter. Don't worry, even if you don't tell me, I plan to talk to everyone at the banquet tomorrow. If someone wants to learn how to grow vegetables, I will keep it safe and never hide it. It’s just that the cost of this kind of vegetable is too high, among other things, even Haibu costs ten taels of silver a piece. I’m afraid they have the heart, but they can’t afford it.”

Regarding the matter of teaching how to grow vegetables, Xiaomi had planned for a long time, and now he heard that his father was going to say this, so he immediately felt relieved and complied.

"Whether you want to do it or not is a matter for the villagers. Whether you teach or not is a matter for our Lu family. In short, you must treat the villagers better. In the future, they may help protect you."

Father Lu was afraid that his daughter would be perfunctory to him, so he gave another order.

Xiaomi heard it funny, "Father, look at what you said, who can come to the village to snatch me back as a wife! Don't worry, your daughter is smart and won't cause trouble casually. I will take care of these things at home. Dad just Take good care of your health, go for a walk in the city when you have time, and meet your classmates and friends. I have money here, and when Dad sees an ancient book he likes, he will buy one or two."

"Okay, okay, I've been wanting to go to the bookstore for a long time. The last time was last autumn...uh," Xu recalled the last time he spent money from the family's food sales to buy books. Father Lu blushed and hurried to make up for it. "Well, I will definitely not buy expensive ones this time."

Xiaomi felt sore and hurt when he heard this, and quickly persuaded, "Father, life is better at home now, even if you spend ten taels or eight taels, my daughter can afford it. But you'd better go to the city with Uncle Yang, Yang Although Bo is a servant, he is very knowledgeable and understands the world, so I can rest assured that you go to the city together."

"Okay, I'll talk to Lao Yang tomorrow morning."

"There is a banquet at noon at home. Dad, don't go shopping for too long. It's best to come back with elder brother."

"Okay, okay, I must come back early."

Father Lu got his daughter's consent, and thought that he would be able to bring back some of his favorite ancient books tomorrow, so he smiled happily.

The father and daughter chatted a few more gossips, Xiaomi went in and spread out the bedding for the old man, felt the surface of the kang to see if it was hot, and then turned and went out.

Under the two big poplar trees in the corner of the courtyard, Feng Jian was standing in the darkness that dazzled the entire world, perhaps because he was about to fall asleep and come out again, his long black hair was not tied up, blown up by the mischievous evening wind, Unassuming and reckless.

In her previous life, Xiaomi hated men with long hair the most. She was paranoid that long hair was a woman's patent, and men with such long hair were not refreshing and sunny enough.

But at this moment, in the dark night, only the cold moonlight shines on the man in front of him.The straight black and thick long hair not only didn't damage his handsomeness, but added three points of evil charm, it was too alluring...

"Brother Feng... Brother Feng!" Xiaomi tried his best to suppress his beating heart, and called softly, "It's so late, why are you still awake?"

Feng Jian didn't speak, and raised his hand to beckon. When Xiaomi stepped forward, his eyes rolled, and he carefully checked that she had no trace of crying, and then said softly.

"If you don't want to, no one in this world can take your things away."

"Ah?" Lu Xiaomi was stunned for a moment, but suddenly his heart felt as if he had been hit by someone, and his nose was sore.

Although the three elder brothers obeyed her arrangements in everything, they would never go against her words.Father Lu simply herded the sheep to graze, and directly let the girl be the head of the house. She seemed to have the freedom that all women in this time and space envied.

However, no one knew how terrified she was when she supported the entire Lu family by herself.

For this vegetable growing, she spent so much effort and took so much anxiety.

Now that the hard work has paid off, the father will send it out with a word. He has not considered her hard work and dedication. Although she has thought of it a long time ago, she is still a little wronged.

And everyone didn't see it, but the man in front of him was, strictly speaking, a stranger. He was the only one who saw her grievance, and even told her so firmly that as long as she didn't want to, she didn't have to do it!
