Chapter 9 Thorn shoots
When Xu Zhixin came back, he stripped off the snake skin, and then Xue took the snake meat into pieces and chopped it into salt. When the snake meat was tasty, he poured some oil into the pot and fryed it. Jinghan looked around and couldn't help but shake his head. It would be vain to eat it like this. It's best to stew the snake meat with the hen. Eating it like this is really not a delicious way.
When we were having dinner in the evening, everyone rushed to eat the snake meat. Thanks to the snake's size, otherwise it would not be enough for the family. The thirteen people in the family, each of them would be divided into two or three pieces. Xue and Zhixin left their own portion to the children, while Wei ignored those and ate them directly. While eating, he said, "It's delicious. Our family has no meat for a long time. It would be nice if we could make some of this back and eat it."
The old man glared at her, "If it weren't for this long worm chasing Wenhan and the other two of them today, they wouldn't be able to hit it. Can you beat this thing at any time? You still do it often? What are you thinking about?"
Wei didn't take the old man's words at all. It was time to eat. Seeing that there was still a piece left on the plate, he quickly put it in his bowl and chewed it all in two or three times. Seeing her like that, Chen couldn't help but shake his head. Wei used to love eating, but he didn't think that it's like this now. Now it's better, there's nothing in his eyes, just eat it. Forget it, I just don't have the same amount as her husband just now. "By the way, in a few days, the monkey legs and bracken on the mountain are going to come down. We have to pick more. Every year the vendors will come to collect dried vegetables. These dried vegetables can be sold for twenty or thirty cents per pound. Then you go up the mountain. Have you heard?" said the old lady.
When Jinghan heard this, it turned out that people had come to buy these dried vegetables in this era. That was very good. Pick more wild vegetables and you can earn some money. "Milk, don't worry, we will all go up the mountain by then."
Chen nodded and said nothing.
A few days later, Wen Han told Jinghan that the thorn buds had already emerged. Just now, Tian Wenhan and Zixuan Mu Xiu led Jinghan into the mountain. Jingya did not follow her. She rarely went up the mountain since she was a child, but Jinghan was different. As long as her brothers went up the mountain, she must follow her.
A few people climbed over a mountain and then found a lot of thorn buds in another nest. Everyone quickly broke down. The thorn buds were about two inches long, which was delicious. Jinghan carefully broke down. The things were all thorns, and they would get them if they were not done well. "Brother, the place you are looking for is really good. The thorn buds grow quite big and there are a lot of them." Jinghan said while breaking.
"This is what Zixuan and I discovered once when we entered the mountain. We used to get some to eat at home. This year, if you want to sell it, we can really break more." Wen Han didn't stop his hand and quickly broke down the buds.
Lin Zixuan looked at Jinghan while swaying the tender buds. Maybe his body had recovered. The quiet feeling at that time was gone, and he was still so lively and did not look that quiet at all.
Jinghan always felt that someone looked at her. Occasionally, he looked up and saw Zixuan's eyes. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel funny. When he first came to this world, he didn't know what the original owner's personality was, so he wanted to pretend to be a little lady, but he didn't expect that he was wrong. This original Jinghan was simply a tomboy. In fact, he was not bad in his previous life and dared to do anything. So now Jinghan doesn't have to pretend too much, just be good. If he was too quiet, he wouldn't feel uncomfortable, and outsiders would be fake.
All three of them worked in silence. After a while, Jinghan's apron was filled with thorny buds. This apron was made by Jinghan for Jingya to help, imitating the apron from her previous life. Then she put a big bag in front so that she could pick wild vegetables and put it in the bag first. "Brother, my bag is full."
Wen Han came over and put all the thorns in Jinghan's pocket into the basket. "You can't say that, the thing Jingya sewed for you is really useful, it's much better than making a basket or something." This way, you can work with both hands without holding the basket.
Jinghan smiled and said nothing. She put all the thorn buds in her pocket in the basket, and then broke them again. There were so many thorn buds here. It wasn't at noon, and the basket was full. "Brother, let's do these. If there are more, there will be no place to put them. We will go to the town to sell them in the afternoon."
Wen Han looked at the basket on his back and pressed it down with his hands. Well, "By it a little more, press it hard, and there will be a place." So he broke it a little more, and it was over. The three of them walked back and crossed the mountain, and saw their home.
"Zixuan, are you going to sell thorny buds in the afternoon?" Wenhan asked.
"No, I broke up less. I don't sell it anymore. I don't have enough food for you. Okay, let's separate here, and my family is back home." Zixuan's home is also by the river, at the east end. There are only a hundred families in the entire Donggang Village, so each family is very far away.
The three of them broke up, Wenhan led Jinghan home, and Jinghan also had a bean sprout of thorny beans in his apron, and the basket was full of them. Jinghan was very happy to see this. When he returned home, Jinghan asked Wenhan to put the thorny bean sprouts in his apron first, leaving only the ones in his apron, which had to be four or five pounds. After entering the house, "Milk, let's break some of the thorny bean sprouts, let's fry and eat."
Chen was very happy when he saw it, "I have to eat this thing every year. The wild vegetables on the mountain are fresher than those at home, but they are not long-term, just a few days." Chen quickly found a pot and put all the thorny buds in the pot. "Oh, there are quite a lot. Your pocket is quite good."
"Grandma, my elder brother and I went into the mountain and laid a lot of thorny buds, thinking about going to the town in the afternoon to see if we could sell it." Jinghan felt that we should say to his family.
"It's true, if you can really sell it, that's a good thing. We Jinghan is also old, so it's okay to leave some money." Chen said with a smile.
"Milk, don't you have to hand over the money you sell it?" Jinghan asked strangely. If you don't separate the family, shouldn't the money you earn be handed over to your grandparents?
"What are you doing for me? In addition to the annual grain and the money sold to me, the remaining money is all yourselves. What do I want to do? How much can you earn is your ability." Chen smiled. The family was not divided, but she was not very stingy with the money in her wife's hands. As long as the money sold to her was given to her. The daughters-in-law were willing to make some needles and threads for some money, but she didn't care about it. It was all the money from this family, and could she go outside?
"Then you talked about picking monkey legs a few days ago?" Jinghan didn't understand.
"Monkey legs are sold, and they are all taken by them. Is there anything wrong with this? I said that, just to remind everyone not to forget that there is such an opportunity to make money. In our forest, there are all kinds of medicinal materials, summer dates, autumn grapes, pine nuts, walnuts, etc., and people will collect them. Generally, children as old as you are willing to go up the mountain to get some back, and they can also add some home use after selling them. Some of them go to buy some delicious food. Our children are rarely greedy. Your elder brother seems to save some for every year to buy paper and pen. If you like to do these, let your elder brother take you. When you sell them, you can also buy some good-looking heads and flowers. You are gradually getting older and it is time to look like a girl." Chen touched Jinghan's head. This little girl was out all day long, and she didn't look like a girl at all.
Jinghan now realized that this is the case. That means that if she saved money blatantly, no one would say anything? This is different from her impression of ancient times? What went wrong? Forget it, I still don’t think about it anymore. “Milk, I’ll go back to the house first and come out to cook for you later.” After that, he ran back to the house.
There were naturally thorny buds at lunch, and I only ate them once or twice a year, so Chen wrapped the thorny buds in noodles and put them in the pot to fry them. When the dishes were brought to the table, Jinghan couldn't help but drool. I really liked this bite. Everyone ate this meal very fragrantly, and although the cake still squeezed his throat, Jinghan ate quite a bit.
After lunch, Jinghan and Wenhan went to the town with Wenhan. The town is not far from Donggang Village, and it took about half an hour to walk. Both of them often go up the mountain and don’t care about this road at all. They arrived at the town at the end of noon. In the center of the town, there is a small market where many people are squatting and selling things. The brother and sister found a place to put the basket down, then put the scale aside, and waited for people to come to buy vegetables.
Jinghan seemed to have many people coming and going, but not many people were looking here, so she started shouting: "Let's see you now, fresh Lingling's thorny buds are coming. Come and take a look, the newly picked thorny buds are here." Her voice was crisp and tender, and when she shouted, someone really looked here.
"Little girl, how do you sell these tender buds?" A woman in her thirties came over.
"Aunt, these thorn buds cost 7 cents per pound. Look, how fat it is. When I go back and fry them, it will taste delicious." Jinghan quickly said the price.
"Seven essays are a bit expensive. So, I buy five kilograms, how about you count me to six says?" the woman asked. The newly-dead thorn buds also sell for about seven says every year.
"Well, what else can I do? Come on, I'll weigh the dishes for you." Jinghan quickly asked Wenhan to weigh five kilograms of vegetables, and then poured them into the basket of the woman Lin Lai. The woman took out thirty cents and gave them to Jinghan. "Little girl, you have taken the money, don't drop it." The woman walked forward with the basket.
Jinghan happily took the money, "Brother, look, we have made money." This is when she came here and earned her first share of money.
