Splendid peasant girl busy farming

4418--Andrew Tan's

Mrs. Sun made Artemisia bacon cakes with bacon and sent them to Lao Yangtou and Mrs. Tan for a taste, and Yang Ruoqing came along with her.

I went to town a few days ago, just in time for someone selling strawberries.

In this era, strawberries were a rare fruit, usually grown by dedicated fruit farmers for wealthy families, and basically not sold outside.

But as long as there is money, there is still a way to get it.

And it is also specially picked in the big shed where the fruit growers grow strawberries, fresh and juicy, sweet and delicious.

Yang Ruoqing took Luo Baobao, Xiaoduo and Huangmao to pick them together, and they picked a total of about ten catties and returned, so they also sent some to the houses on the side of the old house to try it out.

"This thing is called a strawberry? I'm holding a round one, and there seem to be little things like goose bumps on it! Can this thing be eaten?"

Tan squeezed a strawberry in his hand, feeling it, playing with it, wondering about it, and questioning it.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said: "Grandma, of course this thing can be eaten, and it's only available in this solar term. It's not sold in Washi, and it's only for those big families."

"Besides, in big families, not everyone can eat it, only those with status and dignity can eat it."

Tan's expression was a little weird, and he asked again: "Isn't it also a fruit to eat, so rare? How much did you buy it for?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "Go to the shed to pick them, fifty cents a catty."

"What? What are you talking about? How much is a catty?" Tan suddenly sat up and asked at a high decibel.

"Fifty Wen." Yang Ruoqing said patiently.

"My God!" Tan's fingers were squeezed hard, and she pinched a hole in the strawberry between her fingers, and the juice leaked out from it.

"Grandma, be careful, the juice is about to fall onto the clothes!" Yang Ruoqing reminded.

Tan hurriedly pulled out a handkerchief to put it under, then stuffed the strawberry with a hole in his hand into his mouth, and chewed it.

Yang Ruoqing opened her mouth, originally wanting to remind Tan that the strawberry leaves and stalks were not to be eaten, but it was obviously too late.

Like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, Tan swallowed it whole. He probably didn't taste much after swallowing it, and felt a little sour, so his brows frowned.

"This stuff is not too delicious. It also has a slightly sour taste. Why is it so expensive? You can't eat it and live forever! What a prodigal!" Tan tsk-tsk, shaking her head while thinking about it.

Yang Ruoqing's hair was full of black lines, and Sun Shi sat aside and smiled awkwardly.

"Mother, this is Qing'er's wish, and it has nothing to do with the prodigal family." Sun said.

Mrs. Tan still shook her head with her mouth open, "Fifty Wen a catty, this pork is only fifteen Wen a catty, right? This catty of strawberries can buy three catties of pork plus five eggs, isn't that a prodigal? "

"I think back when our old Yang's family didn't split up, it was a luxury to buy three catties of meat for the big guys to have a toothbrush festival. It's a good life, but the hands and feet are getting big, and eating so much It's an expensive thing, you won't be afraid of being poked in the back when you say it?"

Hearing Tan Shi's words, all the smiles on Yang Ruoqing's face disappeared.

"Grandma, I don't even know whether you have a sharp mouth and a tofu heart, or are you so vitriolic from the inside out, and you just like to pick up some unpleasant things, and say things that spoil the scenery?" Yang Ruoqing asked bluntly.

"I'm kind enough to send you some new gadgets. It's fine if you don't see my filial piety. If you give me a general training, I won't show filial piety to you. Don't complain then! "

When Yang Ruoqing was saying these words, Mrs. Sun kept winking at her.

Yang Ruoqing knew that Mrs. Sun was worried that Mrs. Tan would not be able to accept her words too directly.

But Yang Ruoqing still had to say it, because what Tan said was difficult for ordinary people to accept.

"Miss Qing, what kind of gunpowder are you eating? I only muttered a few words, and you have run so much. Really, I can't say that you are not right!" Tan Shi pulled her face down and said very displeased.

Yang Ruoqing rolled her eyes: "Grandma, what did I do wrong, are you picking on me? I kindly sent you strawberries."

"I won't say anything superfluous. If you can understand my filial piety, you will naturally accept it happily. If you can't, then I won't force you. I can take the strawberries away. You can save them when you can. If you have a headache, give me a big black pot, I won't recite it!"

As Yang Ruoqing said, she got up and walked towards the table, and picked up a large warehouse bowl on the table, which was full of washed strawberries, which weighed about a catty.

Yang Ruoqing picked it up and was about to leave, Mrs. Sun quickly got up and followed and was about to persuade her, the door of the east room opened, and old Yang came in from the outside.

"Don't listen to your mother, she's been that virtuous all her life, and the good words from her mouth have changed!" Old Yang came into the room and said straight away.

He came straight over to take the bright strawberry in Yang Ruoqing's hand, and said, "Your grandma is blind, and you can't see such a beautiful strawberry. These strawberries are not something ordinary people can eat. The ones in our village A person will never be able to eat such a rare thing in his life, your grandma doesn't know what to buy, don't be as knowledgeable as her!"

Old Yang's words were so beautiful, and Mrs. Tan on the bed shut her mouth wisely, and Yang Ruoqing couldn't hold back the strawberries.

"Fortunately, you are sensible, otherwise, my heart will really turn cold, and I will not dare to honor you in the future, for fear that my grandma will pick on me again and say that I am a prodigal or something."

Yang Ruoqing also glanced at Mrs. Tan on the bed, and continued: "Isn't it just to eat a strawberry, no matter how expensive it is, I bought it with my own money, and I didn't steal it, why should I be afraid of others?" Poke the spine?"

"Why do others poke my spine? I didn't buy strawberries with other people's money, sir?"

Old Yang nodded again and again, "Yes, what you said is reasonable, it's because you think too much, she is getting old, don't be as knowledgeable as her, after all, she still loves money for you, but she is stupid... "

"Okay, okay, I'm stupid, can I be stupid? You two don't run on me by singing and singing, and don't be annoyed, girl Qing. Anyway, I'm your milk, your father's mother, you annoy me blindly." An old woman with a blind eye is also boring!" Tan Shi also spoke out again.

When these words came out of Tan's mouth, it was conceited.

Mrs. Sun hurriedly gave Yang Ruoqing a wink, Yang Ruoqing shrugged her shoulders, just accept it!

"Well, these strawberries are so delicious!" Old Yang picked one up and threw it into his mouth, and started to eat it, boasting as he ate.

"Qing'er, such a big bowl of strawberries will cost fifty or sixty yuan, right?" Old Yang asked again.

Yang Ruoqing nodded with a smile: "As long as the master eats happily, how much money is not a problem."

Old Yang was stunned for a moment, and then nodded more gratified: "Good granddaughter, have filial piety!"
