Fertile land

The next morning, before dawn, Aunt Zhao came with a cane.

"Aunt Zhao, why are you here?"

Luo Zhi'er has put on the rack and is just loading the car.
People were panicking about thieves and poisoning in the village. Aunt Zhao was very angry when she heard about it.

I don’t know who would be so naive as to do such a bad thing!
I heard Luo Zhi'er said that she was going to the town, and today she came here before dawn!

"I'm here to help you look after your home."

Lu Zhi'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Aunt Zhao, but you don't have to be so early, just come over and take a look if you have nothing to do!"

Aunt Zhao said: "Anyway, my old lady can't sleep in the morning, why not come over and take a look, you haven't left yet?"

"Ah, Grandma Zhao! You came so early!"

Miao Miao got dressed and Luo Zhi'er tied up her hair. She ran to wash herself and came out to call Grandma Zhao sweetly.

"Hey, Miaomiao, be good! What you wear today is so beautiful."

Miaomiao was a little shy and her face turned red.

"Grandma will look after the door for you at home, so you can go to town without worry. With Grandma Zhao here, no one will dare to knock on your stove!"

"Thank you, Grandma Zhao!"

"By the way, Sanmao Wife, I'm going to the city today to help my aunt bring a bag of sugar. This guy's mouth always tastes bad when he gets old."

Aunt Zhao took out a few coins from her arms and gave them to her.

"Aunt Zhao, look at you, just come back and give it to me in the evening."

"If so, my memory is not very good, so I forgot about it at night!"

"If you forget it, forget it. It's just a matter of a few pennies."

"Look what you said, a few pennies are not money. Take it quickly! I have no habit of taking advantage of others!"

"All right!"

He turned to Miaomiao and said,

"Please pay attention to safety on the Miaomiao road. Your mother just bought a mule cart and is not very familiar with it yet. Please drive slowly!"

"I know, Aunt Zhao! Then we're leaving!"

"Eh! Eh!"

Aunt Zhao, holding her walking stick, watched from the door as the two of them walked far away and disappeared!
I sat down at that table, stood up again, and walked around.
The couple listened to the cuckoo's "cuckoo, cuckoo!" along the way.

"Quick yellow, quick cut!"

Miaomiao also followed suit!It sounds great!

After studying for a while, she got tired. Miaomiao ate the egg pancakes she made, took a sip of honey water, and said,
"Mother, why does the cuckoo always cry out, "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up?"

"Haha, Miaomiao, do you want to hear a story?"

"Uh-huh!"

The chicken pecks at the rice!

"Okay! A long time ago, there was a farmer and his son. They planted lots of wheat."

"In the season when the wheat is ripe, they still don't cut it!" The villagers asked them, "The wheat is ripe, why don't you cut it?" "

"It doesn't matter, there's still time, just wait!"

"If someone urges them to cut it again, they will say, are you jealous that our wheat grows better than yours? If you want us to cut it earlier, there is no way!"

"They always want to wait for the non-yellow to turn yellow before cutting! Many ripe wheat fell to the ground and new sprouts sprouted.

Just as they were preparing to harvest, boom! ! !It suddenly started raining heavily!hail! "

"Ah! Isn't that the end of the world? There's no harvest for the whole year. If only I and my uncle were still angry to death!"

Miao Miao people's little ghost road.

"No!"

"The result is as you can imagine, there is no harvest!"

"Of course the father and son are regretful, upset and heartbroken at this time. Isn't this crop their life!"

"Facing the loess and turning back to the sky, everything returned to zero. The two of them couldn't think about it anymore, and finally died in depression!"

There was distress in Miaomiao's eyes.
"Huh? So pitiful!"

Sighing,
People can't be too greedy! "

Luo Zhi'er smiled and said,

"In the end, these two people became cuckoos. Every year when the wheat was about to ripen, they would fly back to remind the villagers: "Quickly yellow, quickie!Quick yellow, quick cut! "

They fly around the wheat field urging everyone, for fear that everyone will be late for harvesting!

Therefore, every year when farmers hear the words "quick yellow, quick cut" and "quick yellow, quick cut", they begin to sharpen their knives and prepare for war! "

"No wonder Miaomiao hears her stepfather non-stop telling us to cut the wheat every year!"

By the time Luo Zhi'er and Miaomiao arrived in the town, it was already dawn. It was different with a mule cart. It was much faster than walking.When we arrived at Yumanlou, it was just opening for business. Shopkeeper Zhu didn't expect her to come so early and even chatted with her for a few words.

Take things for quality inspection.

"Ms. Luo, please come in and have some delicious tea before going for a walk on the street."

"Respect is worse than obedience."

"Ms. Luo, I see there are a few baskets in your mule cart. Are they used to make food? Where do you plan to sell them?"

"Haha, Shopkeeper Zhu has really sharp eyes. Nothing can escape your discernment."

"Where are the words?"

"That's right. I made bread and planned to take it to the market to sell. I didn't know what it was like the first time I made it."

"bread?"

"Yes, it's newly developed, let's go and test the waters!"

"Haha, do I have the face to try it first?"

"Of course!"

"Shopkeeper Zhu, please wait a moment!!!"

Luo Zhi'er quickly ran to the mule cart and uncovered the cloth on the basket.

I brought shopkeeper Zhu an oval red bean bread, a square piece of toast, and two cornmeal red bean breads.

"Shopkeeper Zhu, this toast, I think you were very busy in the morning and may not have had time to have breakfast!"

"Toast?"

What a strange and unique name!

"You can slice it and take two slices for breakfast. Drink some hot water or honey water, or milk or goat milk. It's great!"

"You can also fry an egg, put some lettuce on it, and eat it between two pieces of toast."

"This cornbread tastes crispy and crispy. This is my first time making it, so I brought a little. Next time, if it sells well today, I will bring more for you to try!"

"well!"

Shopkeeper Zhu nodded repeatedly and smelled it. Mrs. Luo really has a pair of skillful hands. This bread is golden yellow and tastes sweet and fragrant.

I couldn't help but break off a piece and put it in my mouth. Wow, it's crispy, soft and waxy, with a sweet red bean flavor and an eggy flavor!

I don’t know how it was made. If you sell it on the street, you will definitely get good profits.

In fact, he wanted to buy it.

However, she didn't mention it and took it to the market to test the waters. It seemed like she wanted to start a business of her own!

Luo Zhi'er told him by the way that he would go to the dog market to buy a vicious dog later.

Evil dog?

Upon hearing this, I was worried about a thief in the house.
After the quality inspection was over, Luo Zhi'er hurriedly said hello to Shopkeeper Zhu and left. She was going to the market to grab a good seat.

He left the mule cart at the market stop, carried a basket on his back, a bamboo basket in one hand, and Miao Miao in the other, and went to the market stall.

In the morning, when everyone was rushing to buy ingredients, she went to Yumanlou to deliver the goods.

There are already some people coming and going on the road now, it is a bit crowded, and the places on the ground have long been occupied.

Luo Zhi'er found a corner, which was a bit remote and not many pedestrians passed by.

Looking at the crowded vendors, some are still fighting for position and cursing. Forget it, I can only put it here.

Wait a minute, even this place is gone.

They spread a straw mat on the ground, took out the bamboo baskets from their backpacks, placed the two bamboo baskets on the straw mat, uncovered the cloth, and started shouting!
"Do not miss passing through!"

"Come and take a look, taste and taste our old Luo family's unique bread recipe!"

He raised his voice and shouted.

"We are selling bread. My mother made it with her own hands. It is sweet, delicious, and crispy."

Miao Miao, like a little oriole, also shouted along.

It immediately attracted a lot of customers, and customers looked this way.

Because everyone has never eaten bread?

what is that?From the looks of it, it might just be a kind of snack!

Who wants to eat snacks in the morning? It's better to eat vegetable pancakes because no one will come to buy them.

Luo Zhi'er thought for a while
Would you like to try it?

So I planned to go to a kitchenware store to buy a knife and some small tableware.

When the time comes, she takes out a piece of toast, slices it, puts it on the dinner plate, and gives a small piece to anyone who passes by.
