She danced her little hands excitedly, releasing more than a dozen rabbits and picking a large plate of cherries.
The rabbits are raised in the backyard. If they can be sold, it will reduce the burden on the small courtyard.
As for the cherries, they originally grew in the corner of the yard, half dead.
I didn't take the good news seriously, but unexpectedly it sprouted and bloomed this year, and now the tree is full of cherries.
It looks pretty good, and tastes sour and sweet.
At this time, taking advantage of the novelty, I can probably sell it for some money.
Mrs. Li asked carefully when she saw that there were no vegetables.
"Fu Niu, are there any more vegetables? Can we sell them every day in the future?"
"Ah, ah." Jiayin nodded, pointed at Cherry and frowned.
Because the cherries are so small, they are really difficult to pick.
Mrs. Li was delighted and asked, "Are there as many vegetables every day as there are today?"
Jiayin still nodded, and the old lady felt confident.
Li Laosi was also happy. Although he didn't understand his daughter as well as his mother, he still understood her somewhat.
"Mom, I'll go back quickly. Second brother and escort chief Liu are still waiting."
"Okay, remember to be careful when you come back. When people ask, they say they went to help the escort agency."
Old Mrs. Li told her carefully, "Someone in the city asked where the green vegetables came from. Just say that there is water in the well at home and the vegetable garden is not dead. You can also say that when I went to the mountains in spring, I planted some near the deep mountain spring."
Li Laosi nodded repeatedly. These words are actually true. I can't help but think about it. But at times like this, it's good to have something to eat.
Who can break the casserole and ask the end?
He came back in a hurry and left quickly. The villagers were curious and asked Mrs. Li while waiting in line to fetch water.
"Auntie, why is the fourth child running so fast? Is there something going on at home?"
"No, the escort agency is calling him for help. Natural disasters are severe, and man-made disasters are also serious. Maybe there are bandits and bandits somewhere, but I don't understand. "
Old Mrs. Li waved her hands and spoke vaguely.
But the villagers immediately started to think about it. They usually envied Li Laosi for making a lot of money every time he went out as a escort. Now it seems that this money is not so easy to get.
Bandits and bandits are all desperadoes, and it is simply too dangerous to deal with them.
Although they can't make that kind of money, they still don't have to work hard.
Thinking this way, many people feel balanced.
Mrs. Li saw everyone's expressions in her eyes, but she wasn't angry at all.
Human nature is like this. No matter how good we get along, we can't help but compare ourselves to each other.
And when there is comparison, jealousy arises.
It's always been, I hope you have a good life, but you can't have a better life than me.
Although the Li family tried their best to keep a low profile, they were still too conspicuous among the villagers...
But of course she was not willing to gather her children and grandchildren and wait to die like other villagers.
So, keep a low profile and be a high-profile person.
Jiayin was lying in grandma's arms. She didn't know that grandma had so many thoughts on her mind. She was anxious to tidy up the vegetable patch in the courtyard.
A simple calculation shows that even if it rains immediately tomorrow, it will be half a month before everyone can grow vegetables.
In other words, the family is robbing money... Bah, the golden period of selling vegetables at home is only half a month.
No pain, no gain.
The seeds she had previously sown in the fields can now be harvested.
But most of them are spinach, cabbage, rapeseed, etc., and in the vegetable garden of the small courtyard, there are not many cucumbers, eggplants, and beans.
Now I feel a little regretful. I knew it would be better to set aside one or two acres of land to grow vegetables...
But you can't be too greedy.
The only things that are in front of me, sold successfully, are enough for the family to spend for a year.
In the county town, Li Lao Er and Zhou Guanshi hoped that Li Lao Si would come.
Hearing that the Li family could deliver so many vegetables and even fresh cherries every day, Manager Zhou was very happy and quickly made some calculations.
He was about to take Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si to find someone to sell vegetables, but Li Lao Si stopped him.
"Brother Zhou, our family is an ordinary farmer. Taking out vegetables at this time is too eye-catching. If someone comes to our house to buy them forcibly, our family may not be able to withstand it.
Why don't we ask you to help sell these vegetables in the future. We My family gives me a commission of 10% of the vegetable money. What do you think?"
Manager Zhou was stunned for a moment, his mind turned, and his eyes lit up.
He was originally helping to pull strings, but now he can benefit himself, which is of course even better.
But he couldn't agree so easily, as if he valued money more.
So, he shook his head repeatedly and tried his best to refuse.
Liu Biaotou has a rough appearance and a lot of heart. At this time, he can see that Manager Zhou is hindered by his favor.
Seeing that the Li brothers were also sincere in giving in, he slapped Manager Zhou twice and complained.
"They are all our brothers, so why are you so polite? Don't tell me that you don't leave a few bucks for yourself when doing shopping on weekdays? Brother Li is sincere, so don't take advantage of Qiao. It's serious business to sell the vegetables quickly!"
Zhou The manager's back hurt when he was slapped, so he responded with a grimace.
"Okay, okay, I agree."
He rubbed his back and told Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si.
"I'll transport this cart of vegetables first. Don't worry, I'll take care of it and come back in an hour."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhou."
Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si were not worried, after all, Liu Liu was here. , Manager Zhou didn't dare to snatch the things away.
After sending Guanshi Zhou away, Biaotou Liu and Li Laosi made plans.
The Liu family has nothing else but a complete set of weapons. The two competed in archery skills and fist and kick competitions.
Li Laoer cheered from time to time as he watched, and it was the first time he admired his younger brother so much.
I usually only see him going up the mountain to look for pheasants and rabbits, but I didn't expect him to be so capable.
It's no wonder that the escort leader Liu is very protective of their family. Having a good person like his younger brother to help him must be of great benefit to the escort agency.
Manager Zhou meant what he said and rushed back in less than an hour.
He had a smile all over his face, and the corners of his mouth were almost hanging from his ears.
"Second brother Li, fourth brother, I'm so happy."
Everyone heard that he changed his title and guessed that the vegetables must be selling well.
that's the truth.
Manager Zhou drove the carriage to the door of a familiar teahouse. There was a lack of water in the city and the teahouse was half-dead and about to close.
Manager Zhou gave a handful of copper coins to the two boys and sent them to invite someone.
Junyang County is not big, so in less than two quarters of an hour, five or six familiar stewards came over.
These people were all buyers of wealthy families in the city. We met occasionally on weekdays. They chatted and drank tea together, and exchanged information, and they became familiar with each other.
Manager Zhou is the least conspicuous among them, because the escort agency is far inferior to the wealth of other families.
If he hadn't said he had vegetables in his hand just now, these people wouldn't have been able to arrive so quickly.
When I saw with my own eyes the green side dishes, the juicy cucumbers and eggplants, the green cowpeas and oil beans.
Everyone was excited and their trip was not in vain!
These things used to be delivered to the house every day from the farm.
But with such a severe drought, the village's water supply has become a problem, and there have been few deliveries of vegetables since the beginning of spring.
Nowadays, the house relies on dried vegetables and fungus to support itself, the young master loses his temper and refuses to eat, and the old masters have blisters on their mouths.
Three meals a day is almost a embarrassment to the cooks.
If I bring the vegetables back today, the master will be happy.
Getting rewards is secondary to them. Having their name in front of their master is more important than the many benefits they will receive in the future.
Half a cart of green vegetables was divided up almost in the blink of an eye, and it was even considered too little.
But everyone was satisfied after hearing that there was still tomorrow.
