Yoyo Farming

Chapter 23

Then look at the weather, and start to pick grapes with branches and leaves. After picking, hang them directly on the tree to let the sun dry. This is a natural raisin method.Those who have used it include Robinson Crusoe.

And some grapes whose branches and tendrils were originally entangled on the tree, because they are afraid of overripe, it will be a pity to fall to the ground.Just cut off the branches and let them still hang under the tree.

Those hidden under the leaves that cannot directly bask in the sun should also be moved out to bask under the sun.After doing all this, Fu Niu was sweating a lot. As a reward, she peeled some grapes and ate them. They were sweet and juicy, really delicious.

Today, Fu Niu didn't want to hide this treasure here, so Fu Niu took a look at the many grapes on the tree, a bamboo basket of mushrooms and fungus, and five or six bunches of grapes to bring back for You Shuan to eat.

Let's go get fish now, Fu Niu suddenly remembered, turned around and picked off a few grape seedlings. I don't know if I can survive when I get home, but let's try.

Along the way, I wondered how much the raisins cost per catty, because the grapes I picked just now weighed no more than a hundred catties, and at least twenty to thirty catties could come out in the sun.Fu Niu hasn't done it, so it counts as much as there are, because there are still many unripe vines on this piece of vines.

When passing through the bamboo forest, there were indeed a few bamboo shoots, all of which were picked off and put in the bamboo forest.The bamboo basket was hung on the apricot tree just now.Pick off a piece of bamboo empty-handed, and wait a while to fish.

Fu Niu took this bamboo and went to the pool. The water was really high, and there were a lot of fish just from the surface of the water.In view of the fact that it was exhausting to catch live fish and bring them home last time.Fu Niu was only going to die today, holding a bamboo pole in her hand to relieve her anger, she stabbed three fish on the bamboo at once.

As if to vent the suffocation of the past few days, Fu Niu kept tying the fish, and beads of sweat fell on her feet from time to time. After venting, Fu Niu counted the fish on the shore, and there were 21 fish in total.Getting so many fish back now is another effort.

Fortunately, Fu Niu still has two hands.Cut the fish at the water's edge and put them into cloth bags together.Look at the sky is getting late.Backtracking began.

When passing through the bamboo forest, I took a few bamboo shoots with me, passed by the apricot tree, and untied the bamboo basket from the tree.The bamboo basket is hung on a big tree branch, and is afraid of falling off, so it is wrapped with small branches a few more times.

Wild animals cannot come up, but there are some grapes that have been pecked by birds.This account can only be settled next time.It was already getting dark, and I could barely see the grapes that were no longer plump but had holes. Fu Niu threw away all the grapes, and only three or four bunches were left to eat.

Although Fu Niu who went back like this was tired, she only thought about her own life in Jiu Dongli, and turned her fatigue into motivation.

Youshuan in the village was still waiting to pick up Funiu, and when he heard the sound of branches dragging the ground, he quickly asked, "Is that sister?" Funiu replied proudly, "It's me, Youshuan, you're here to pick me up again. "

Then I said more proudly: "Come to help my sister." Today's things are not ordinary.There was a bamboo basket hanging on his arm, and there was still a big branch dragging behind him, but this branch was covered with mud.

There is a big bag of fish on it, if you don't drag it all the way with branches, you can't bring it back at all.Youshuan went to the back to push it, touched the cloth bag, smelled a fishy smell, and said to Fu Niu, "Sister, you got so many things today."

When the two of them returned home, You Shuan had rekindled the fire in the stove, and it was already boiling.Before Fu Niu could open her mouth, she took out a fish from her cloth pocket, washed it and threw it into the pot. It was regarded as an extra meal for Xiao Fu after entering the mountain.

Fu Niu hurriedly washed the fungus and threw it into the fish soup. The mushrooms were decided to be sold tomorrow. It was not cool in the house. Fu Niu took out all the fish in the yard, washed them in the stream, and put the grapes in the water. After washing, take it back for Youshuan to eat.

You Shuan was very happy when he saw that there were so many fish and counted twenty. "Here, Youshuan, these grapes are delicious." Fu Niu gave Youshuan the cleaned grapes.

You Shuan was eating sweet and juicy grapes, and asked Fu Niu, "Sister, is this the only grape? If there are more, you can sell them. One catty of grapes is worth three catties of cornmeal."

Another advantage of cornmeal is that it can be discussed between siblings about how much other things are worth.Fu Niu did the math and said: "There are grapes, but my sister only wanted to get fish, so she didn't take them out."

At this moment, Fu Niu was squatting in the yard and rubbing all twenty fish with salt, and all the salt in the house was soaked.Youshuan eats grapes by herself, and Fu Niu doesn't let Youshuan take over her hands: "You can just watch the fish in the pot, and it's not good to get fishy with your hands."

There are more fish today, and Fu Niu thinks it is a fortune, and she starts to pay attention to what should be paid attention to, but at that time, she only paid attention to this moment.Youshuan was looking forward to happiness: "Sister, there are so many fish, there must be a lot of money tomorrow."

Looking at the Sophora japonica flowers, mushrooms and fungus in the basket, Youshuan is just calculating how much he can sell for tomorrow.After the fish soup was ready, the siblings had another full meal. This time there was fungus in it, which was also extraordinarily delicious.

Fortunately, the salt was put into the fish soup first, otherwise, Fu Niu used up all the salt and still felt that it was not enough. Anyway, it would be okay to hang it in the yard until tomorrow.

Her shoes and clothes were covered in mud, and she couldn't be particular about it. After drinking the fish soup, Fu Niu felt sleepy and tired, so she said to You Shuan, "Call me early tomorrow, and I'll go to the market to sell fish."

Youshuan just said regretfully: "It's a pity that tomorrow is not a big market. The fish may be sold for what price." Fu Niu said sleepily: "I will sell it in a restaurant. The last time I saw where the restaurant is, I took mushrooms and fungus. Sell ​​them there, let’s eat the pagoda flowers by ourselves.”

I still remember eating Sophora japonica once, it was very sweet.

"But we're still short of money." You Shuan reminded in a low voice, but Fu Niu didn't reply, she was already asleep.

Early the next morning, Fu Niu went to the market by herself, and after going there once, she had already gotten to know her pretty well.Moreover, You Shuan said that he would hurry up to embroider at home. Seeing that Fu Niu brought so many things at once, You Shuan felt stimulated, and said loudly, "I can't be worse than a woman as a man." He decided to stay at home and embroider as hard as he could. .

Youshuan didn't come with her, just like Fu Niu's heart, she planned in her heart to buy some things she needed after she sold out, and when Youshuan came, she wouldn't let you buy this or that.
