Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 149 Sending Tofu (Second Update!)

Mrs. Tan also sighed, and nodded: "That's the only way to go. Tomorrow, I'll go to Zhou Matchmaker's house to sit for a while. She has a lot of places to go, so let her help find out!"

Old Yangtou reminded again: "Yes. That's good. Remember not to go empty-handed when you turn around. You have to spend the money that should be spent. For the children's marriage, the matchmaker can't be sloppy!"

"I see, the water is cold, I'll wipe it up for you, you go to bed and rest!"

"Ok!"

Silent all night.

Before dawn, Mrs. Sun fumbled to get up and put on her clothes and shoes.

My daughter went back to the town to sell tofu, so she didn't have time to make breakfast, so she was on her way with an empty stomach.

Thinking about this, Mrs. Sun felt uncomfortable.

No, I have to go to the town again today, and I must make my daughter full and go on the road!

Smoke billows from the chimneys, and the villagers of Changping Village are still snoring in bed. In Yang Ruoqing's kitchen, Mrs. Sun is kneading cornmeal by a soybean oil lamp.

When dawn broke in the east, Yang Ruoqing came to the kitchen after washing up.

Just in time for the delicious and sweet corn tortillas to come out of the pan.

"Qing'er, have you washed up? Hurry up and eat, I put an extra spoonful of caramel!"

Mrs. Sun greeted Yang Ruoqing while filling the boiled hot water into the crock.

"Ok!"

Yang Ruoqing walked over, looked at the tortillas in the bowl, and was surprised.

"Yo, mother, why are you burning so much today?"

Picked up a thin, crispy tortilla and took a bite.

Well, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant and sweet, so delicious!

"I scooped up an extra bowl of noodles, and baked the one with Tang Yazi." Sun said.

"Oh!" Yang Ruoqing nodded, standing by the pot, eating corn pancakes with relish.

When half of a pancake was eaten, there was a light knock on the door from the yard by the side door.

"It must be Tang Yazi who is here, I'll go and open the door!"

Before Yang Ruoqing could make a sound, Mrs. Sun put down the crock pot filled with hot water, turned around and left the stove.

After a while, Mrs. Sun turned back, with Luo Fengtang still following behind.

The low kitchen room, because of Luo Fengtang's sudden intrusion, looked even more cramped.

Yang Ruoqing smiled at Luo Fengtang: "Coming?"

"En!" Luo Fengtang nodded.

"Tang Yazi, come, eat the freshly baked corn pancakes!" Mrs. Sun had already handed over the pancakes.

"Auntie, I'm not hungry, I just ate from home..."

Luo Fengtang glanced at the golden tortilla, his eyes lit up slightly, but he still politely postponed.

Qing'er's family had just been separated, and she was poor and homeless, and all the rice and noodles she ate were bought at the rice shop in the town.

No matter how tempting the pancake was, he couldn't bear to eat it.

However, Mrs. Sun was still there to persuade: "Eat, eat, what are you doing with your aunt?"

Seeing that Luo Fengtang still refused to take it, Sun secretly poked Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing came over knowingly, and said to Luo Fengtang: "My mother baked your share, you can just eat it. When you are full, you will have the strength to push the cart and drive!"

"Ok!"

Luo Fengtang lowered his eyes, thanked Mrs. Sun, took the pancakes and started to eat them.

Fragrant and sweet, it is far more delicious than those wild vegetable and grain cakes posted by the uncle...

Yang Ruoqing ate two pancakes, and Luo Fengtang ate four under Mrs. Sun's persuasion!

"Auntie, I'm really full, my stomach is going to burst, I really can't eat any more!"

When the fifth pancake was handed to him, Luo Fengtang strongly refused.

"Half-year-old, eat poor old man, you are right to eat at your age! One more pancake, why can't it fit in?" Sun was still there to persuade.

Luo Fengtang looked for help to Yang Ruoqing who was drinking water.

Yang Ruoqing wiped off the water stains on the corner of her mouth, and looked at Sun's behavior a little dumbfounded.

"Mother, I know your intentions are good, but this is not stuffing ducks, so you can do whatever you want!"

Yang Ruoqing spoke, but Sun had no choice but to give up.

However, he still wrapped the remaining cornmeal pancakes in the bowl and stuffed them to Luo Fengtang.

"Take it with you, eat it when you're hungry on the road!"

……

The unicycle was borrowed from Uncle Daniel's house.

There are wooden shelves more than half a meter wide on the left and right sides of the bottom wheel for storing things.

The handlebars are the same as those of a scooter, and the dirt roads in the countryside are a bit rough.

A rope is tied to the front of the car, and when pushing the cart, put the rope around the waist of the person pushing the cart, so that the balance can be better maintained.

Four buckets of tofu stand on wooden frames on both sides.

Then use a hemp rope, wrap it around and tie it tightly, and you can go on the road.

"Qing'er, Tang Yazi, be careful on the way, come home after delivering the tofu, don't delay!"

Mrs. Sun sent them to the entrance of the village, gave them some instructions, and then turned back to the village.

Here, Tang Yazi is pushing a wheelbarrow, walking steadily on the road in the countryside.

Yang Ruoqing waved her hands and walked beside him. Facing the rising sun, the two of them walked towards Qingshui Town in the east...

It is more than 30 miles from Changping Village to Qingshui Town.

Halfway through a small forest, there are several forks in the small forest.

To the east to Qingshui Town, to the north to Wangjiang County, to the west...Yang Ruoqing doesn't know.To the south, it is to Mian Niu Mountain.

"Tang Yazi, it's still early, let's rest in the woods ahead!"

Yang Ruoqing suggested.

It was the first time that she came to the town with her fifth uncle Yang Huazhou to go to the market with a bunch of things on her shoulders, and she didn't stop on the way.

Thirty miles is nothing!

However, Tang Yazi was pushing a wheelbarrow, and there were more than 100 catties of tofu and water in the cart.

The road conditions are bad, and he has to work hard to maintain his balance, which must be very tiring!

Beside him, Luo Fengtang heard Yang Ruoqing's suggestion and glanced sideways at her.

The girl's breath was a little unsteady when she walked, and her face was flushed.

He has good foot strength. In the past, every time he carried a beast weighing several tens of catties to the town, he arrived in one breath.

She is a girl, and her foot strength is definitely not comparable to his.

She must be tired!

Thinking of this, Luo Fengtang nodded: "OK, then let's rest!"

Put a rope around a thick tree, and then press down the handlebar of the wheelbarrow, and use stones to support the wheels front and back.

After finding such an ingenious balance point, the tofu bucket does not need to be taken down, and the two of them can shake hands and rest aside.

Yang Ruoqing was sitting, Luo Fengtang was standing, she took out a barrel container made of bamboo.

Open the bamboo cover above, the water inside is still warm.

"Tang Yazi, drink some water!"

Yang Ruoqing handed over the bamboo tube.

I ate dry biscuits in the morning, and after a long journey, I was definitely thirsty.

Sure enough, Luo Fengtang didn't think much, took the bamboo tube and poured two mouthfuls.

"Have you finished drinking? Do you want more?" Yang Ruoqing asked with a smile.

Luo Fengtang shook his head: "I've finished drinking."

He was about to put the lid back on and pin the bamboo tube around his waist when Yang Ruoqing suddenly took the bamboo tube back from his hand.
