The peasant daughter of the crossing

Chapter 189

"Wait, Xiaobao, show it to your mother." Seeing Xiaobao making a gesture to throw it, Ruhua greeted quickly.

"Mother, why do you want this? Daddy said it was very bitter..." Although Xiaobao said so, he still stretched out his hand.

"That's right! It's not edible. If you want to eat fruit, I'll just go and pick some more tomorrow. Why eat this bitter thing." Sanlang saw that Ruhua was very interested in picking things up, so he thought she wanted to eat something. eat fruit.But he has already tasted the bitterness of this thing, and he doesn't want Ruhua to eat this bitter thing again.

Ruhua looked carefully, and after confirming that it was a persimmon, she raised her head and said with a smile, "This thing is not bitter, it's just that you haven't found a way to eat it."

When Ruhua said this, the scene of eating persimmons in her previous life kept flashing in her mind. The persimmons looked bright red, and they felt sweet when biting into them.Especially when eating persimmon cakes, they are soft and have an indescribable taste.

Thinking of this, a cunning flashed in Ruhua's eyes.

"How to eat it?" Saburo was puzzled. He had seen this thing before when he went hunting in the mountains. He also tasted it at that time, and it still tasted the same way. It's red, and if you don't pick it up, it will fall to the ground...

"That's right! This thing is called a persimmon, and it would be delicious if it's ready!" Ruhua's small abacus kept dialing, as if she saw the white silver taels.

"..." Anyway, Saburo was puzzled, how delicious would this be?It's not like he hasn't eaten it before, "Is this really edible?"

"Hmm! Could it be that I am teasing you?" Ruhua put the persimmons on the table, and then took the rice bowl and prepared to eat, "I have decided, we will get up early tomorrow morning, go to the field to harvest rice for a while, and then wait When the weather is hot, we go up the mountain to pick persimmons."

"Picking persimmons? Why do you pick this thing?" Sanlang thought, this thing is so unpalatable now, no matter how you do it, it won't taste so good.

"Collecting is of course useful!" Ruhua said unhappily when she heard Saburo's questioning tone.

"Useful?" Sanlang didn't know what Ruhua was going to do anyway.

Ruhua doesn't intend to explain anything, anyway, Saburo will naturally know when he is good in the future.

And Ruhua thought about it carefully, no one knows how to make this persimmon, and it will be the only one when it is brought to the market... Thinking about it this way, the white silver taels are dangling in front of her eyes again.

"Mother, what are you laughing at?" Xiaobao was eating when he heard Ruhua's laughter.

Ruhua realized that the father and son were staring at her, she quickly smiled and said, "No, it's nothing, eat, eat."

On the second day, Ruhua was thinking about going up the mountain to pick persimmons, so she got up early to prepare everything.Since some of the paddy fields in the family were taken away by Qian, there are not many paddy fields in the family, so there is not much rice. If the speed of the two of them can be harvested in half a day, but Ruhua is thinking about the persimmons, so she only cuts the persimmons. I don't want to cut it halfway through.

Saburo had no choice but to bundle up the harvested rice and move it home, and then he and Ruhua prepared to go up the mountain to pick persimmons.

Ruhua never thinks too much about making money, and she has a big heart, so she actually invited Xiaobao to go up the mountain this time.So the whole family, two carrying baskets on their backs, and one carrying a basket, went up the mountain.

Led by Saburo, the three of them finally arrived at their destination after walking for nearly three quarters of an hour.

Ruhua looked up at the golden color all over the mountains and plains, but she didn't even show any signs of fatigue, and there was excitement on her face.

"Sanlang, you will go up the tree to pick persimmons later, and Xiaobao and I will pick persimmons below." Ruhuatou looked up at the fruit-laden tree.

"Yeah! I know." Sanlang took out the knife in his back basket, and was going to cut a branch first, and was going to use it for beating.

"Mother, is this really edible?" Xiaobao was still a little worried.Because he just asked his father to pick one for him that looked completely red, but once he ate it, he really answered Sanlang's words.

Ruhua was so excited that she didn't even bother to turn her head, "Yeah! I can definitely eat it, and if I can't eat it, how can I make money!"

Hearing Ruhua's words of making money, the two father and son looked at each other.

However, the two father and son still believed her somewhat, especially when Sanlang felt that Ruhua could make the unpalatable pig intestines so delicious.Otherwise, Saburo would not dare to mess around with Ruhua.

Since the division of labor is clear, the three of them cooperated very well.

For Saburo, climbing trees is a trivial matter, so Ruhua saw that Saburo kept going back and forth between the branches, knocking off the golden yellow all over the ground in a short while.

"Xiaobao, you pick up the ones over there, and I'll pick up the ones over there." Ruhua looked at the persimmons that had fallen all over the floor, wishing she could put them all in the basket at once.

"Hmm! Okay." Xiaobao took the small pannier he was carrying.

Seeing that Xiaobao had already started working, Ruhua naturally didn't dare to neglect, she quickly took out the back basket and began to pick it up.

After picking out the ones under this tree, Ruhua looked up and saw that Sanlang had already changed another tree.

"Sanlang, don't knock too much, you won't be able to fit in the basket later." Ruhua saw that she had already packed two baskets, and saw that Sanlang was still knocking vigorously.

"I won't knock on the top of this branch until I finish knocking on it." Sanlang stopped his hands and looked down at the two people who were busy under the tree.

Ruhua looked up and saw that there were still so many persimmons that had not been picked, and felt a pain in her heart. It would be great if the distance was closer, so that she could bring these persimmons home earlier.But looking at the current situation, hey, I don't have time to bring so many persimmons home.

But Ruhua just looked at it, there are still a lot of persimmon saplings here, so the saplings can be moved home to plant, and there is no need to travel so far in the coming year.But today I didn't bring tools such as a hoe, and it seemed that this task had to be put on hold for the time being.

After Sanlang finished knocking down the tree, the three of them picked the persimmons on the ground together. They moved very quickly, and within a short while, they filled up all the baskets and baskets they brought, and they couldn't even put one in before they gave up!
