Nongmen eldest sister: Farming and opening shops

Chapter 71

Lin Qinghe didn't pay attention to the gossip in the village, and first turned over the cleared space next to the house to remove the gravel and grass roots inside. The plant ash was sprinkled into the ground to make fertilizer and continued to dry.

After looking through it for the third time, I asked Aunt Osmanthus for some vegetable seeds, sprinkled them in the field, and then began to take good care of the vegetable fields. When the weather is fine, I water them every morning and evening, and I can be lazy on rainy days.

But for this kind of work, the two of them, the two of them, would have to run twice, and it would not take much effort.

After watering the vegetable field, the two went into the mountain again, each with a basket on their backs.

In the wild fruit forest, the siblings wandered around the bushes, and when they met again, both of them couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Hey, why are there no such fruits? It's all because of those birds, who ruined a lot of good things."

Lin Qinghe couldn't help laughing when he heard what he said: "I guess those birds are also blaming you for stealing their food."

"They have to be delicious, I won't say anything, but how many of them fall to the ground and rot, it's a waste of things." This is what he is most dissatisfied with.

"If they were more intelligent, they wouldn't be looking for food everywhere." Lin Qinghe shook his head and said, "Don't feel sorry, it's gone this year, and it will grow again next year. We're prepared, and we'll be back sooner next year." Come, you will surely get more fruits.”

"That's right." With preparations next year, they will definitely earn more than this year. They can also earn a lot by relying on this wild fruit forest.

Both baskets were full of fruits, but the good and the bad were mixed, some were big and some were small, and some were green skins, so if they were not picked, they would be wasted, so they were picked altogether. In short, the remaining fruits are all Crooked melons and bad dates.

"The last batch of candied fruits will not be given to shopkeeper Zheng. We will keep them. We rarely have snacks. These are just right."

The fruit is not good, and the preserved fruit produced will be inferior. If these are given to shopkeeper Zheng, it will inevitably affect the reputation of his own preserved fruit, which in turn will affect the reputation.

Lin Qingsong felt a little regretful when he heard that he didn't want to exchange it for money, but then he thought of eating at home, and felt a little greedy. The homemade preserved fruit is really good, but he is also sensible, so he only tastes one occasionally and doesn't take too much, so He really didn't eat much, let alone enough.

"Our homemade preserved fruit, my family will never dislike it." He reached out and took a wild fruit from his back basket, and then took two bites. The unripe fruit was sour and astringent, which made him grit his teeth. .

Seeing Lin Qinghe laugh straight away, it's rare to see him look so childish now.

The two returned home and handled the fruit skillfully.

Counting the time, the fruit wine at home should be about the same, she immediately opened a jar, and the rich aroma of fruit wine wafted away.

Lin Qingsong smelled it, and immediately came over: "Sister, this smell is really delicious."

Lin Qinghe sniffed it carefully, and nodded: "It's really fragrant, mainly because the smell of the wild fruit is enough, and the taste of the wine is second."

Lin Qingmiao was also attracted by the scent: "Sister, this taste is sweet, isn't it delicious, can I drink some?"

Hearing this, Lin Qinghe was a little embarrassed. Although he drank fruit wine, it was also wine: "This is wine. You are still a child, so you can't eat it, or you will get drunk."

"I'll just take a sip and I won't get drunk. I didn't smell like this when Dad drank alcohol before."

Hearing her mention of her father, Lin Qinghe was silent for a moment: "That is baijiu, which is made from grain, and this one is made from fruit, so the taste is of course different."

"So, the wine we brew with fruit is better?"

"It varies from person to person." She said, took a bowl, and poured out a bowl of fruit wine. The red wine smelled fragrant and looked even more delicious.

"I'll give you a taste, but I've agreed, don't eat too much, or you'll get drunk." If it's a few years older, she doesn't care, but such a young child still can't drink too much.

Hearing this, the two brothers and sisters became excited and looked at each other. Their hands stretched towards the bowl almost at the same time, each pinching one side.

"Seniors are in order. I'm the older brother, so I have to drink first." Lin Qingsong was already hungry and wanted to be the first to drink.

"I'm a younger sister, a brother has to be humble." Lin Qingmiao was not to be outdone.

Lin Qinghe looked at the two of them with a smile, but remained silent, only seeing them relying on their own abilities.

Lin Qingsong said helplessly: "Let me taste it first, if it's not good, I'll tell you."

Lin Qingmiao shook her head: "I can also taste it first, and then tell you."

"Sister, tell me about her, a little girl, it's outrageous to compete with others for a drink."

"A brother who grabs food from his sister is not a good brother."

In the end, Lin Qingsong was defeated and let go first: "Okay, then let you drink first. Let me tell you, this is wine, don't drink too much, or you will be drunk in one sip."

Lin Qingmiao ignored him, picked up the bowl, took a big sip, and then slowly savored it: "I didn't smell it wrong, it's sweet, but the taste is a bit strange, but it's so fragrant and sweet, It suppressed the strange smell."

Lin Qingsong also took a big sip, then smiled and said, "What a strange smell, it smells like wine. You've never drank wine, so it's a joke to say it. This wine smells a bit weak, but it's really fragrant."

"Second brother, you are not much older than me, when have you ever had a drink?" Lin Qingmiao asked immediately.

As soon as he asked this question, even Lin Qinghe looked at him, yes, when has he had a drink, the adults in the family would not allow a child as old as him to drink.

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Qingsong finally said: "I drank a few sips of my father's wine secretly, but that wine was too spicy, not as fragrant as this fruit wine."

Lin Qinghe even secretly drank alcohol behind someone's back. Lin Qinghe looked at him: "Adults don't let you drink alcohol because it hurts your body, especially for children who haven't grown up. Drinking alcohol is not good for your health, and it may even cause some harm. , but remember, don’t drink secretly next time.”

Lin Qingsong nodded quickly: "Don't dare, I won't drink secretly anymore."

"Hee hee, steal a drink, I want to tell father and mother, if you steal a drink, let them spank your ass, hee hee!" Lin Qingmiao said in a vague voice.

Hearing this, the siblings looked up and saw her face was flushed, her eyes were dull, and she would show a silly smile from time to time, how silly she looked.

"Qing Miao, I've made you stupid with just one sip of wine!" Lin Qingsong was a little dumbfounded.

"This is drunk. They say not to drink, but to drink." Lin Qinghe raised her hand and stroked her forehead. She also heard her father's words, and her heart softened for a while, but she was really drunk. How dare she drink so much? drink wine.

Well, I've got another job for myself, tending to a drunk, and hoping to wake up without a headache.
