Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 50

"He must have caught an earthworm just now, it's disgusting, don't touch it, let him wash his hands first." Liu Man'er explained.

"Oh, it's just an earthworm. You scared me to death, kid. I wonder what's wrong." Fang patted her chest.

"No, mother, I hate these things, they are greasy and disgusting. Take him to wash his hands quickly, and wash them several times." Liu Man'er reacted a little violently.

"What's so scary about this thing?" Fang was a little puzzled, but still said with a smile: "No wonder you take Fusheng to wash his hands every time he comes back, so that's why."

"Sister, I always use chopsticks to pick it up, but sometimes I can't hold it firmly, so I grab it with my hands." Liu Fusheng also defended himself.

"Stop talking, go wash your hands." Liu Man'er quickly stopped him, she didn't want to hear him keep talking about that stuff.

After Liu Fusheng washed his hands, Liu Man'er let him come to him, then let him eat loquat, and showed him the little rabbit she had caught.

The child had something to eat and play with, and quickly forgot what happened just now. Seeing him having fun, Liu Man'er said, "You have a new task in the future, mow the grass for the rabbit."

"Okay." Liu Fusheng nodded hastily, "It's okay, anyway, where there is a lot of grass, there are also a lot of earthworms. I catch the earthworms every day, and I can mow the grass by the way."

"You're fine, can you stop mentioning it?"

"Okay, I won't mention it." Liu Fusheng stopped talking immediately, but said secretly from the side: "It turns out that my sister also has something to be afraid of."

That's right, Liu Man'er is not afraid of mice, but she is afraid of these soft insects. In fact, she is afraid of snakes because they are greasy and disgusting.

But one cannot avoid seeing these things when one is born in a farmhouse, especially after it rains, they are almost everywhere in the yard, and Liu Man'er is very annoying.

Fortunately, there are chickens and ducks at home now, and every time she let Ye He or Liu Fusheng release the chickens and ducks, try to let them eat the bugs first, and then she slowly walks out of the room.

Now there are more and more chickens and ducks in the house, and the chickens and ducks will grow faster only after eating earthworms, so although she feels scared and disgusted, she still won't stop Ye He and Liu Fusheng from catching them.

On the contrary, she has to support it, because feeding chickens and ducks with this thing can save food.

However, there are more and more chickens and ducks nowadays, Ye He and Liu Fusheng spend a lot of time digging them every day, Liu Man'er feels that this is a waste of time, and the two of them should not spend their time on it.

After thinking about it, she can only use a unique trick, raise it by herself!

Although she doesn't know much about farming, and she's also afraid of this thing, she at least knows the habits of this thing. It likes fertile land and reproduces quickly.

When she told Ye Yuan and Fang Shi about this idea, both of them were a little puzzled, Fang Shi said in surprise: "This thing can still be kept?"

"Of course." Liu Man'er said seriously: "Our family has more and more poultry now, but the food is limited. If Xiao He and Fu Sheng are kept doing this work, it will inevitably delay other things. Why don't we raise some by ourselves? It will be convenient then."

"But these things are everywhere." Fang hesitated, "Are you sure you can raise them?"

"It's definitely possible." Liu Man'er is very confident about this, "We can raise poultry, and the simplest mollusk is naturally also possible. Mother, think about it, where is the place where this thing appears the longest?"

"Generally speaking, the places with the most fertile land." Fang replied.

But despite saying this, the children in the village couldn't help digging every day, and now Ye He and Liu Fusheng had to run far to find fertile land every time.

Almost every household in the village has chickens and ducks, which is almost the most important source of income in a family, but they have no food to feed them, so they usually look for these little bugs to feed the chickens and ducks .

In spring, these children will go everywhere to catch duckweed to feed ducks, or tadpoles, and earthworms. These things are everywhere. Whenever the children in the village are fine, they will be instructed by adults to do this. live.

Liu Man'er didn't want Ye He and Liu Fusheng to keep doing such things, so she came up with an idea.

Her idea is very simple, dig a shallow pit in the corner of the yard, then pour in fertile soil, give them a dark and humid environment, pour the dug earthworms into it, presumably it will not be long before a large pile will grow out .

At that time, it would be good to bring these poultry to eat once a day, without having to spend so much effort.

After listening to Liu Man'er's suggestion, Fang was still a little surprised. No one in this village thought of raising this thing to feed ducks, but Liu Man'er thought so.

She felt strange, but Ye Yuan on the side interrupted her, he said: "Anyway, it's not too much trouble, just try what Man'er said, it will save Xiao He and Fu Sheng's effort."

Just do what you say, the next day Liu Man'er took Ye He to the temple fair to sell lotus flowers, Fang Shi also took Ye Tianchen to go together, and Ye Yuan went to the restaurant in the town first, and bought some inedible game from yesterday. Sell ​​it, after all this rainy season, drying or smoking these pieces of meat is a little troublesome, it is better to sell it directly, and you can make some money.

After returning in the afternoon, he dug a hole at home to raise earthworms. As for Liu Fusheng, he asked him to dig some earthworms for seeding.

Originally, Liu Man'er's foot was a little injured, and Fang didn't let her go to this temple fair, but Liu Man'er was worried that Fang's skin was thin, and she wanted to see it herself, so she insisted on going.

And after a whole night last night, her feet are almost healed, at least the swelling has subsided, and the road is not too far anyway. Early the next morning, Liu Man'er wrapped her feet with fine cotton cloth, He also insisted on going on the road.

Because of the pain on the road, she still walked a little unnaturally. Fang saw it and said, "I told you to rest at home, but you just wanted to follow. What a disobedient child."

Liu Man'er laughed when she heard this: "Mother, I've been injured. Selling this lotus later can be regarded as doing meritorious deeds for the Bodhisattva. When the Bodhisattva rewards it, maybe it will be fine all at once."

"Mother can't say no to you, I hope so, I just hope everything goes well today." Fang said.

She has never sold anything at this temple fair, so she is still a little worried. She is worried that the lotus will not be sold.In fact, Liu Man'er was also worried, that's why she decided to follow her to have a look.

Otherwise, if she didn't sell it on the first day, it would really discourage her enthusiasm.

The three of Liu Man'er went early, and there were not many people at the temple fair, but as soon as they approached the Guanyin Temple, they could already smell the strong sandalwood fragrance, and the sound of the monks chanting scriptures in the temple came out through the temple wall , The neat chanting sounds really sound like that.

Some hawkers who set up stalls came one after another pushing their wheelbarrows. They were preparing to set up their stalls. After Liu Man'er saw it, she also wanted to take a good place.

Of course, the closer the location is to the mountain gate, the better, and the closer to the mountain gate, the more people come and go, but the good location that allows stalls has long been occupied. The three of Liu Man'er just saw a good location and were about to go there when they saw someone Came on a wheelbarrow.

At this time, Liu Man'er realized that there was a sack under the rocks on the ground, and it turned out that they had already ran over to occupy the position last night.

And she didn't know these ways, so no matter how early she came, she was not as good as others.

"Man'er, what should I do?" Seeing that the three of them couldn't even find a place, Fang panicked.

"Mother, what are you in a hurry for?" Liu Man'er comforted, "It's not a big item, so it doesn't matter if you want a booth or not. We'll just carry the basket and sell it."

Speaking of which, Liu Man'er pointed to a big pagoda tree not far away, and said: "I see there are some rocks there, let's go there to rest first, and when there are more people, Xiaohe and I will go to peddle. "

"Is this okay?" Fang was dubious.

"There's nothing wrong with it." Liu Man'er was confident, and said, "We already had experience last time."

"Well, then it's all up to you. Anyway, mother can't help you if you sell it." Fang said quickly. She has always been thin-skinned. no.

"It's okay, mother, as for you, just come here to play. Just take care of Tianchen and watch things for us." Liu Man'er said with a smile, "When these lotus flowers are sold out, let's take a good look around here together." temple fair."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Fang nodded repeatedly.

Liu Man'er smiled without saying a word, and found a stone to sit down like Ye He. At this time, the temple fair had already started, most of the vendors had already set up their stalls, and the sun had risen too high. Good men and women came over.

First of all, the people in the nearby villages. Liu Man'er saw that their clothes were very simple. Although they were very clean, there were inevitably a few patches. They looked devout, with admiration for Buddha and hope for the future. Liu Man'er also sighed a little.

"Xiao He, you go, tell them the blessings of the Bodhisattva, buy a lotus flower and send it to the Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva must think that you are sincere." Needless to say too much with these people, with Ye He's innocent face and immature words, Presumably many people will buy it, right?
Ye He is not a timid girl. After hearing Liu Man'er's words, she carried a rattan basket full of lotus flowers and walked not far from the mountain gate. Someone came and she repeated Liu Man'er's words. Anyway, the flowers are not expensive. It's just a penny. These people may be very economical on weekdays, but they are not stingy when it comes to worshiping Buddha.

When the number of people gradually increased, Liu Man'er talked to Fang, and walked to the mountain gate with the rattan basket. She and Ye He guarded the gate, one on the left and one on the right. When someone came, they took out a flower Give it to them, and say: "One piece of money for meritorious deeds."
