Good Farming in Spring - C54
As Zhang Liu watched the interaction between eldest daughter and his youngest son, his heart was also sour. His son was only two years old, and his mother-in-law was so biased, it was really incomprehensible to her. No matter how unhappy she was with him, Chun Xiao was still the grandson of the Lin Family, and was so insignificant.
Although it was small, Chun Xiao was not big. Chun Xiao was arched by Little Spot, and with the butt lying on the ground, although it was a little painful, and the circles around his eyes were a little red, but he still rubbed his bottom while laughing, and Lin Chunnuan quickly picked her brother up from the ground.
“Little Spot is playing with me. He didn’t do it on purpose. Sis, I’ll be more careful next time. I won’t fall.”
“If you want to play with Little Spot, you can play with it. Big sister doesn’t refuse. But you have to be careful. Don’t let yourself get hurt, okay?”
With a playmate, even if he was slightly injured, he would still want to be alone.
“Yes, Sis. I will be careful in the future.”
After wiping his hands, he ran back to Little Spot’s side. Little Spot was also squatting at the corner waiting for him, and when he saw that Chun Xiao had returned, he chirped for him a few times, his voice extremely warm and gentle.
Seeing that his daughter had returned to the side of the brick bed, Zhang Liu discussed with her daughter.
It’s not easy to bring living things, and the price is high. I’ll go to the village and ask which family has an extra chicken cub and we’ll buy it. Right now is the time to sell the chicken.
Hearing that there was one in the village, Lin Chunnuan also approved of going to the village to buy it for her mother. She couldn’t differentiate between male and female, and if she spent expensive money to buy a bunch of roosters, that would be really dangerous.
“Sure, Mom, you can go to the village and buy it. Pay whatever you need to and don’t let them talk behind your back.”
Zhang Liu nodded, she knew what her daughter was thinking. Since she had already left the Lin Family, she would live a fair and square life, and Zhang Liu knew how much effort her daughter had put in in in order for her to be able to stand up straight.
“I got it. Mom just wants to go pick some good stuff. I didn’t think about saving money, but even if I didn’t, it would definitely be cheaper than town.”
Zhang Liu explained to his daughter, she was not a greedy person, it was always good to be able to save some money.
“It’s up to you. Mom, let me get you some silver coins. How much do you need?”
Lin Chunnuan took out some money from her pocket. Although she had only left some idle copper money, this made Zhang Liu’s eyes widen.
“My daughter, why is there so much money? Haven’t we already bought everything?”
Zhang Liu could not believe it as she caressed the large amount of copper coins her daughter had left on the brick bed. Chun Jiao and Chun Xiao also came over to touch it, they had never seen so much money before.
Mother, didn’t I say, just tell me what my family needs in the future? I still have money here, and this is a good season, and it’s also the time to sell my tea leaves. Money cannot be cut off.
Lin Chunnuan felt that this sword was not very strong. After all, she was only eight years old and her hands were small, but when she saw her mother’s gaze, she knew that there were not many left. She took out her hand once again and did not dare to scare her mother anymore.
Since I have enough money, I will capture a few more. In the autumn, even if I become a chicken, I can sell them for money. In the future, our mother will be able to hatch the chicken again.
When he thought about how his own house could be filled with running chickens, Zhang Liu became excited and quickly took out a kernels and carefully stored all the coins away, continuing to make himself a blanket.
“Wangzhige, let’s go chop some bamboo and come back, the bamboo plaque are too few, we need to make up more, tomorrow we will go up the mountain and eat tea and mint, Big Brother Yunhe said that he has dozens of tea houses outside, if there is anything more, we have to work harder.”
Seeing that he himself could not help much, and just as he mentioned the tea leaves again, Lin Chunnuan remembered that the bamboo plaque s were not enough. If it was alright, he would have to make more bamboo tubes, and after last autumn, he would have to save more tea leaves.
“Alright, I’ll be there after I put on my outer garment.”
After hearing Lin Chunnuan’s shout, she immediately responded as she walked out from the shed and went to get some water to wash her hands.
“Aiya, I forgot to bring some meat of deer back to Mingzi and Dou Zi. If we put this meat back tomorrow, I don’t know if it’ll stay put.”
Zhang Liu suddenly remembered something when she heard that her daughter was easy to talk to with Dou Wang.
“Let’s have some more meat tonight. We can stew Little Spot’s meat. The meat should be ready for tomorrow. If not, let’s stew the meat a little saltier. Tomorrow, Little Spot will have enough to eat for one day.”
Lin Chunnuan could only think of this method, it would be worrisome if there was more meat, and worrisome if there was no meat.
After finishing all these meat of deer, Little Spot would have no meat to eat, and he himself did not know if Wangzhige’s set of food would work. Tomorrow, he would go up the mountain to gather some tea, and then, he would be able to see if there were any harvests.
That’s what I want to tell you. This morning, I heard the sound of someone knocking on the door, so I went out to take a look, only to find that no one was there. I didn’t dare to open the door, so I lay on the wall to take a look.
I’m afraid someone left it in front of our door and hung it up in a shady place in the warehouse. The two of you go and take a look, Wangyou, if there’s anyone who has a good relationship with you, they’ll let you help me look at the things.
One of them rushed out of the house, while the other rushed out of the firewood shed. The two of them almost bumped into each other at the entrance of the warehouse.
Seeing the wounds on the wild chicken and rabbit, they knew that they guessed correctly, and couldn’t help but admire how powerful the Great cheetah was, being able to find Dou Wang’s good home. It seemed that the Great cheetah was more worried about their son, because this time, Little Spot’s food and drinks didn’t matter.
Mother, you should clean up the chickens and rabbits. Those chickens and rabbits are the food that Little Spot brought over, we’ll let him eat that tomorrow, we’ll stew the meat of deer at night, and give Little Spot a little less salt, and the rest will use more salt to stew for a few days. Wangzhige and I will go out for a while.
Lin Chunnuan shouted towards the house. Dou Wang took his machete and the two of them were just about to leave the courtyard when Zhang Liu hurriedly walked out of the house and called for the two people.
“Wait a moment, where did that wild chicken and rabbit come from? We can’t leave something that we don’t know the reason behind.”
Mother, don’t worry, Little Spot’s father sent him food, and it’s not something unknown. Don’t worry, we’ll just give Little Spot some food, and Wangzhige and I will go chop some bamboo, and take advantage of the weather to come back and open it up for drying. We’ll make a few bamboo plaque for him tomorrow.
Lin Chunnuan reported to Zhang Liu as she walked. After she finished speaking, she had already left the courtyard, and Zhang Liu had caught up to the entrance of the courtyard.
“Alright, I got it. The two of you be careful. Come back early, and don’t be too greedy. You must be tired.”
After Zhang Liu instructed his daughter and Dou Wang, seeing that the two of them had agreed to leave, she bolted the door and returned to her room.
Looking at the new cotton cloth and cotton on the brick bed, then looking at his daughter who was helping him compress the cotton, and his son who was playing with Little Spot, Zhang Liu felt that she was really blessed.
Wangzhige, we only have these few months of business to do. After autumn, we will not have any way to earn money, so, we need to think about buying more goods and exchanging them for more money. We can talk about winter when winter arrives, but we need to first save up the money to survive this winter.
When Lin Chunnuan was walking with Dou Wang to the top of the mountain, she was muttering to Dou Wang. Other than Dou Wang, no one could talk about her current business, so if she had any ideas, she would be willing to share them with Dou Wang. Dou Wang was also the best listener.
“Mmm, mint and tea leaves fall in the fall. I know that. This half a year will be more difficult for the both of us. Let’s earn more money.”
Dou Wang was not only willing to listen to the words of the spring, but he was also very poor. Now that he could earn money, he wanted to protect himself a little more.
We also need more tea tubes, which are better at storing tea than wooden tea boxes. As long as we prepare more tea boxes, we can store the tea leaves that we can’t sell first, but we can sell them in the winter. Although that’s not new tea, winter is the time when tea sales are the highest, and everyone is willing to drink hot tea.
During the two days that she stayed in the teahouse, little brother stonecrop had always been using cold tea to serve her. The taste of the cold tea was very ordinary, without the tipsy taste of the new tea leaves, she definitely would not drink too much, just to quench her thirst, and the sales would definitely not have winter.
In fact, only in the summer should we drink hot tea. Drinking it until our bodies are soaked in sweat is the best way to relieve the heat, however, the customer’s habits will not change according to their will. Many people will still feel that it is not very comfortable to drink hot tea, after all, in this era, taking a shower is not convenient, so we still need to reserve more tea during the winter.
