Father's Farmer's Wife: Farming Makes a Fortune

Chapter 85 Buying Corn
Nanmenyue returned to the mountain, and was about to go to the mountain lake with a bamboo basket.

Mrs. Liu was in a hurry, and the ox cart was driven by Li Pangdun to Old Man Yu's pigsty. She wanted to go down to the field to break some soybeans, but the journey was too far, so she had to rush to go early next time.

Seeing Nanmenyue rushing down the river, she followed her: "Mother Ying'er, where are you going? Take me to help you." The third Yu also went hunting in the mountains, and there were only two elders at home. , she is the only one who can help.

Nanmenyue untied the small bamboo raft, and dragged Mrs. Liu onto the boat, "I'll go to the mountain lake to pick up some snails. You can come, as many people as possible."

Mrs. Liu didn't know what picking up snails was, but she thought it wouldn't be difficult, so she just followed. She walked back and forth on the waterway several times, and it was already very easy.

Entering from the entrance, the mountain lake is as quiet as a clear mirror, reflecting the beautiful spring in the mountains like a scroll of flowers.

Nanmenyue hung the basket on her shoulders, braided her trouser legs, and went into the water. The lake was shallow, just below her knees, and the sand and mud stirred up by her feet on the water surface made the water muddy. Nanmenyue had to bend her body and fumble with.

The snails depend on the sludge for a living, and the more abundant the sludge, the more the snails gather in groups.

Mrs. Liu looked at Nanmenyue, followed her example and went down the river. Seeing that she was holding up a palm of mud, she picked out a few small black dots, and those that looked like small curly stones were snails. .

Facing the water with their backs to the sky, the two of them groped for quite a while, and the snails finally filled the basket.

Let's just fish for this today, try to see if you can succeed and then fish a little more.

When the two returned from the mountain lake, Nanmenyue soaked the snails in a wooden barrel, waited for it to spit out some sand, and then sent it to the county seat tomorrow.

Seeing that she was idle, Mrs. Liu wanted her to follow her to the village to pick some soybeans: "Mother Ying'er, if you have nothing to do, then you can take me to the village's field. It's time to pick it." If you don't pick it up, it will explode in the field after a few days in the sun.

Nanmenyue told her to take the dung pan and lead the horses by herself.

Seeing that the two of them were going to work again, Guo Kefu followed. She had been sitting since she woke up and had breakfast, and she couldn't speak, she was dumb like a piece of wood.

It's better to work in the fields with my mother-in-law. When I got married, my sister-in-law also said that I should be more diligent in my hands and feet.

Seeing her being so active, Mrs. Liu didn't stop her. She couldn't send other people's daughters-in-law down to the farm and leave her own daughter-in-law to relax at home.

The Li family's land is not far from the entrance of the village. After the carriage arrived, Mrs. Song hurriedly went: "Mother Ying'er, you can rest. I'll break the pods for a while and it will be fine."

Nanmenyue ignored her, and helped Guo Kefu get out of the car and headed towards Jiji. If the three of them picked these two rows of soybeans together, how fast they would be.

Next door to the Li family's land is the cornfield of the old Zhou's family. The old Zhou's family lived in the village, and they didn't have much contact with the Li family at first, because the land was close, and there was some intersection.

The mother-in-law of the Zhou family came out of the corn grove with a few corn cobs, and greeted Mrs. Liu familiarly: "Oh, Li's daughter-in-law, your soybeans should have been harvested long ago."

Mrs. Liu smiled shyly, glanced at Guo Kefu, and smiled: "No, preparations for my son's wedding have been delayed for a few days."

When Zhou's mother-in-law heard that Mrs. Liu was holding a wedding, she took a few more glances at the two women who came with her. The one who lowered her head and looked shy should be the new daughter-in-law.

Unexpectedly, that idiot Pangdun could still get a wife, that's great.

"That's the eldest daughter-in-law, she's really sensible, I never thought that all the ladies from rich families would be willing to work in the fields, daughter-in-law of the Li family, you are really blessed."

Zhou's family is far away from the village, so naturally they don't know about the Qi family's affairs. Looking at Nanmenyue's figure, she looks like a lady from a wealthy family, and knowing that the eldest son of the Li family married a rich lady, so she guessed like this .

Liu smiled awkwardly, not wanting to ruin Nanmenyue's reputation, so she explained: "No, no, this is the daughter-in-law of the neighbor Qi's family, come here to help."

Zhou's mother-in-law let out a long cry, and looked at Nanmenyue curiously. Nanmenyue also looked at her, and she turned her head away.

"Hey, sister-in-law, your corn is so good, what's the price?"

Nanmenyue is a little curious about the market, after all, she has planted a large piece of land in the mountains.

"It's not worth the money. I'm just afraid that the land will be abandoned, so I just plant some. If you like it, you can take some back after a while."

The corn was harvested, dried and crushed to feed some livestock. Who would bother to sell it? It hurts from sitting on the buttocks and it can be sold for less than ten cents.

Nanmenyue listened to this, so she put down her work and walked over, picked up a larger piece of corn and peeled it off. The corn kernels inside were plump and neat, yellow and white, and they looked very good.

Nanmenyue thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Sister-in-law, sell me your corn cobs, and you can set a price."

As soon as Mrs. Liu heard that Nanmenyue wanted to spend money on this worthless thing, she was afraid that she would be fooled, so she hurried over to stop her: "Mother Ying'er, what are you doing with this thing? It's worthless. If you want to eat it, the one behind me The ground will soon be harvested."

Knowing Liu's kindness, Nanmenyue turned around to comfort her: "Aunt Liu, I have my own plans, don't worry."

Zhou's mother-in-law heard that Nanmenyue wanted to buy the corn, her eyes lit up, and she grabbed her: "Sister, I really want to accept it. My sister-in-law will give you a good price. The county sells it for two cents a catty. If you want Take just one note."

"One penny, one catty!?" Nanmen Yue exclaimed.

The mother-in-law of the Zhou family nodded, thinking that she disliked being expensive, and took a few steps back: "One penny is one catty. If you collect enough five catties, I will give you one catty, and ten catties will give you two catties."

Nanmenyue looked at the Zhou family's mother-in-law begging for sale, and wanted to lower the price: "Well, sister-in-law, you are acquaintances with Aunt Liu, so I will not make it difficult for you. I will charge ten catties, and you will give it to me." How about three catties?"

The mother-in-law of the Zhou family didn't even think about it, she clapped her hands and agreed: "OK, I'll break it off for you right now, when do you want it?"

"Come and pick it up at noon tomorrow, let's export the deal in the field."

Seeing that there was no way to stop her, Mrs. Liu could only shake her head. What's the use of this corn cob? It's too heavy for her to give it to her for free, and she still spends money to buy it, so her heart aches when she thinks about it.

Nanmenyue negotiated the price with Mrs. Zhou's mother-in-law, and continued to break the pods when she came back, thinking about it, and got another extra money, so she started to work lightly.

After breaking the soybean pods, Mrs. Liu asked the two of them to wait in the car. She went to the vegetable field to gather some spring vegetables and went back. Come again.

Mrs. Liu came down from the field, walked through a small forest, and came to her own vegetable field. This vegetable field has not been taken care of for a long time, and a lot of weeds have grown.

Liu Shi squatted down and began to pick vegetables, and a strange look followed her not far away.

　Tickets, floating, whoring, floating!Say important things four times, the day after tomorrow will be more eight thousand, beg for a reward for being cute.
