Chapter 6 Chicken Feathers

"Uncle Qiao, how do you grow this vegetable? It's juicy and sweet, with a very sweet taste. My old man likes it very much and asked me to grow it too." Aunt Ye passed by the door of Qiao's house. Asked Grandpa Qiao.

Grandpa Qiao was drying his tobacco leaves and said proudly, "I don't know, my Manman grew this, and the seeds were bought from Ning'an City!"

"Oh, these are seeds bought in the city. Is Manman at home? I'll buy some from her later. This dish is really delicious." Aunt Ye looked around at home.

At this time, Qiao Manman came out, and Aunt Ye asked her if she had any vegetable seeds. Qiao Manman, who didn't know what was going on at first, also understood at this time, "There's still half a bag. I'll go to the kitchen to get it for you. I won't use the money, and I don't have much money for vegetables." After that, he went to the kitchen to get it. Give her some vegetable seeds.

After Aunt Ye left, Qiao Manman walked to her vegetable garden. She was stunned for a moment. She didn't plant much, but there was so much growing.

"Grandpa, there are too many green vegetables in the vegetable garden. Let's pick them early tomorrow morning and sell them in the town. By the way, I will drive my brother to get the medicine." Then he asked Grandpa Qiao to prepare the rope for tying the vegetables tomorrow.

Seeing that his granddaughter was taking command again, Grandpa Qiao pretended to give her a blow, then turned around and continued holding the rope to complete the work assigned by his granddaughter.

"I'm so envious that I have a good grandpa!" After flattering him, he walked to the room. The old man often preferred to use his spare energy, so as to make them feel valuable.

The silkworm babies in the room had turned into white, fat and oval silkworm cocoons. Qiao Manman put all the silkworm cocoons together and activated the silk reeling technique to turn each silkworm cocoon into a silk thread. A single silkworm can spin more than 1 kilometer of silk thread.

The silk threads were dyed by Qiao Manman with plant dyes found in the mountains. As the spiritual energy all over his body dried up, sweat broke out on Qiao Manman's forehead, and there was a silk handkerchief with a crane and peach pattern on his hand. The colors are completely natural, coupled with the superb double-sided embroidery technique, the unique soft luster of spiritual silk, and the crane and peach pattern are lifelike, just like a crane about to spread its wings and fly out. The entire satin surface looks extremely gorgeous. Anyone who looks at it will sigh that this is a rare work of art.

Early the next morning, Qiao Manman and the Qiao family were busy in the vegetable garden.

"Manman, why aren't these vegetables sold by the pound?" Qiao's mother was holding a handful of chicken-feather vegetables in her hand.

"You can sell them in bundles one by one and you don't need to bring a weighing device to settle the accounts. You also have to take your brother to get the medicine to save time." A bundle of vegetables weighs more than a pound, and then it's time to start a big fight.

After driving for more than half an hour, we arrived at the county vegetable market.

"Brother, wait for me in the car." Qiao Manman said to Qiao Zhiyuan when he got out of the car.

After hearing this, Qiao Zhiyuan also said "Hello" and watched his sister pick up a large bundle of chicken feather vegetables and walk to the vegetable market. He wanted to help his sister but felt a little powerless with his own body. My sister was supposed to be cared for, but she was made to suffer.

At this time, there were many small vendors occupying favorable positions and setting up their stalls in the vegetable market. Qiao Manman could only find a somewhat remote corner to set up his stall.

"Freshly picked chicken feather vegetables from home, fifteen in a bundle, fifteen in a bundle!" Qiao Manman set up the stall and started selling.

The nearby stall owners all looked over, and the stall owner closest to her was an uncle. He took a look at Qiao Manman’s stall and saw that the bundle of vegetables only weighed a pound, so he kindly said: "Little girl, what are you doing?" Are you here to set up a stall once?"

"Yeah, it's my first time to sell a stall."

"Then you can't set the price like this. Generally, a bundle of chicken vegetables only costs 3-5 yuan. If you ask for 15 yuan, no one will buy it." The uncle reminded her kindly.

"Thank you, uncle. I know 15 yuan is a bit expensive, but my green vegetables are very delicious. 15 yuan is still a discount." Qiao Manman thought to himself that this chicken feather vegetable was blessed by the growth formation and nourished by spiritual energy. Of course it’s more than 15 yuan.

The uncle looked at the girl's confident look and said nothing. Aunt Mao who was passing by saw Qiao Manman's chicken feather vegetables, which were indeed fresh and green, and stepped forward and said: "Little girl, your price is too expensive. How about you lower the price and buy two handfuls?"

"If I can't get my aunt down, my vegetables will be sold for 15 yuan a bundle."

"Oh, you little girl, why don't you know how to adapt? You can't sell like this." Aunt Mao said and continued to visit other stalls.

"Yes, little girl, we can't afford to eat the vegetables that are so expensive in the county." An elder sister next to her also said.

At this time, an aunt came over with a basket. She went to the vegetable market today and couldn't buy suitable vegetables. Aunt Deng's little granddaughter just didn't like to eat vegetables. She wanted to run away when she saw vegetables, but the little granddaughter wanted to run away. How can children not eat vegetables?

At this time, Aunt Deng listened to the voice of Qiao Manman's stall and came over, "Little boss, this chicken feather dish is fresh, but it is too expensive, please use less."

"Auntie, this is all natural. No pesticides are used. You will know it is delicious when you buy it." Qiao's family has been eating this dish recently, and their health is getting better and better.

"Then give me a bunch to try." Aunt Deng felt distressedly and picked out a handful of chicken-feather vegetables that seemed to be relatively large for Qiao Manman to bag. If the granddaughter could eat more, fifteen yuan for this dish would be worth it. Worth it.

Teacher Lu’s daughter-in-law has been suffering from morning sickness during her recent pregnancy. Seeing Aunt Deng buying a bunch of green vegetables, she also stepped forward to buy a bunch. She also wanted to see if this fifteen-yuan bundle of chicken-feathered vegetables would make her daughter-in-law eat more. point.

Aunt Deng started cooking when she got home. The chicken feathers themselves were very fresh, so she made a vegetable and egg drop soup.

The fragrance was so delicious that Aunt Deng hurriedly took it out and put it on the dining table.

"Xiaoyu Jun, let's go out to eat." Aunt Deng took off her apron and called her granddaughter and son.

"Grandma, what are you cooking today? It smells so good! Why is it green vegetables again?" Xiao Yu trotted out of the room. The four-year-old child looked plump because he loved eating meat. It was so nutritious that it filled the air. The fragrance made Xiaoyu swallow her saliva.

"I saw a small businessman selling chicken-feather vegetables in the vegetable market today. They were quite fresh, so I bought them and cooked them for you." He said while serving soup to Xiaoyu.

"Grandma, I eat green vegetables every day, and my face turns green. I don't like vegetables," Xiaoyu said, shaking her grandma's hand coquettishly. She wanted to eat meat, but her grandma always liked to cook vegetables for her.

"Xiaoyu, today's vegetables are very fragrant, just take a bite." Aunt Deng looked at her little granddaughter and advised.

Xiaoyu smelled it and it did have a refreshing fragrance. She took a small sip of the soup for her grandma. It was quite delicious! I picked up the chicken lettuce with chopsticks and brought it to my mouth. As soon as I took a bite, I found that the green vegetable was extremely delicious and had a slightly sweet taste. Although the green vegetables he usually eats are fresh, Xiaoyu thinks they have a little bitter taste and are not as delicious as this chicken-feathered vegetable.

"Mom, this is Xiaoyu's favorite dish. How much did you buy?" Chen Jun asked hurriedly as he saw his daughter eating so many vegetables for the first time. After saying that, I also took a bite. It was really delicious. I quickly put a lot of green vegetables into the bowl.

"I didn't buy much, so I bought a bunch to try. It tastes good. I'll buy it later. She sells it a bit expensive, so it probably won't be sold out so quickly." After that, Aunt Deng also took a bite of the chicken feather vegetables and thought it was delicious. .

The whole family devoured a plate of chicken-feather vegetables and quickly ran out of food. The same situation also happened at Teacher Lu's house. Teacher Lu's daughter-in-law had a great appetite after eating chicken feather vegetables, and her morning sickness disappeared.
