Easy to farm

Chapter 74 Plan
The summer night is very long, Yang and Pei Yongping next door said this in a low voice, through the window, Pei Xiangxiang could see the stars and the softly shining moon.

Pei Xiangxiang was worried that what Mrs. Zhu said today would make Mrs. Yang think wildly, so she decided to take Mrs. Yang out for a walk, so she pushed open the door and knocked on the door next door. Soon, she heard Mrs. Yang talking A voice came from inside, "Is it Xiangxiang? Come in, the door is open."

Pei Xiangxiang pushed open the door, but did not go in. Instead, he lay at the door and said to Yang, "Mother, the wind is blowing comfortably tonight, and there is a moon, let's go out for a walk."

Mrs. Yang shook her head, as if she lacked interest, Pei Xiangxiang had no choice but to cast her eyes on Pei Yongping. When Pei Yongping saw this, he pushed Yang's and said, "Don't think too much, there is me, you just stay with me today." Xiangxiang, let's go for a stroll, maybe there are people telling stories on the stage of the Liu Family Theater."

"That's right, that's right, Sister Chunhua said that there are people telling stories for several days in a row, which is very interesting."

The Liu family theater that Pei Yongping mentioned was more than 20 years ago when the Liu family in Nanhe Village suddenly became rich, and then built a theater in their own compound, specially inviting troupes to sing operas.

I never thought that the young master of the Liu family was a prodigal son. When Mr. Liu returned to the West, after he took over the family business, he only knew how to spend time and drink, and was ambiguous with the actors in the troupe. The yard slowly fell into disrepair, and finally weeds grew overgrown, but the theater stage became a place for children in Nanhe Village to play.

Later, on summer nights, the stage of the Liu Family Theater was full of folks enjoying the cool air. At some point, there was a new storyteller in the village. When the weather was fine, everyone liked to gather around here to hear the storyteller telling stories.

Seeing Pei Xiangxiang looking at him expectantly, and Pei Yongping also said that it was not good for Mrs. Yang to repay their kindness, so he got up and let Pei Xiangxiang pull him out the door.

As soon as they went out, many people were chatting and walking with cattail fans on the road. Almost all of them were walking towards the Liu family stage. Seeing this, Pei Xiangxiang roughly guessed that the storyteller was probably there today, and he was immediately overjoyed.

The stories told by the storytellers are all rumors and secrets from the previous dynasty or the current dynasty, from the court harem to ordinary people's homes. This is what Pei Xiangxiang likes to hear, although many people say it is hearsay and has no truth, but Pei Xiangxiang believes that there will be no groundless rumors, and he can also take the opportunity to learn about the situation of this dynasty.

Before I got to the stage, I could see from a distance that several lights had been hung around the stage. The three floors around the stage were full of people, and an old man with white beard and hair was sitting on the stage. , this person is the storyteller surnamed Meng who suddenly appeared in Nanhe Village, because the old man also showed Fengshui calculations, so the big guy called him Meng Banxian.

When they arrived at the Liu Family Theater, because there were too many people, Pei Xiangxiang had to pull Mrs. Yang to stand in a place that wasn't too crowded and where Meng Banxian could still hear Meng Banxian's words. However, the two of them hadn't stood there for long before Pei Xiangxiang felt someone poking her. arm.

Looking back, the person who came was a familiar face, Pei Xiangxiang said hello, "Brother Da Zhu."

"Xiang...Xiangxiang, it's...really...it's you." Da Zhu touched his head, and when he spoke, his white teeth were shining very brightly. Pei Xiangxiang couldn't help but think that if this is done in modern times, Absolutely perfect for a toothpaste ad.

Pei Xiangxiang looked behind Dazhu, and then asked, "Brother Dazhu, is Xiu'e here?"

Da Zhu nodded, and replied, "Come... come, it's my sister... she said she saw you, so...that's why I came to look for you, she...she's over there...over there. "

Da Zhu stuttered a bit when he spoke, and when he was anxious, his face turned red. Seeing this, Pei Xiangxiang didn't ask him anymore. After following the direction he pointed, he saw Xiu'e and said to Da Zhu, "Thank you." Brother Dazhu, I'm going to find Xiu'e." After Pei Xiangxiang finished speaking, he told Yang Shi again, and then happily went to find Xiu'e.

Pei Xiangxiang patted Xiu'e on the back, and when Xiu'e turned around and saw Pei Xiangxiang, she was very happy and said, "So you are really here, I thought I misread it just now, but you have been busy recently What, it's because you have your brother Lin Xu, so you don't have time to play with me, right?"

It's been a long time since I saw Pei Xiangxiang, and Xiu'e couldn't help joking. Pei Xiangxiang didn't expect Xiu'e to say these words. In her perception, the girls here are still very restrained.

Seeing that Pei Xiangxiang didn't speak, Xiu'e thought she was being shy, and said, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, by the way, sister Chunhua said recently that the water chestnuts in Nanhe have grown up, and asked if we want to pick them Water chestnut, many restaurants in the town and county like to make this dish of fried water chestnut rice."

In summer, there will be a lot of wild water chestnuts growing in the ditches in the river. At this time, water chestnuts are fresh and tender, and they are delicious when fried. At the end of summer, water chestnuts are old and suitable for stewing. In modern times, water chestnuts The market is also good, the artificially cultivated one is particularly large, looks like a bull's head, and is cooked as a snack.

Picking water chestnuts is definitely a physical job. Sitting on a wooden raft to pick them not only has to withstand the high temperature, but also be careful not to capsize the raft, otherwise it is no joke to fall into the water.

After the water chestnuts are harvested, it is necessary to cut the shells one by one, and then take out the water chestnut meat inside, which is very time-consuming and laborious. Of course, because of this, a catty of water chestnut rice can be sold for more than ten yuan per catty. It is much more valuable than wild vegetables.

Pei Xiangxiang shook her head towards Xiu'e. She is not very interested in these ways of making money now. In a few days, the peppers and tomatoes in the vegetable field will be ripe, and she will be busy harvesting and turning them into cash. In comparison, a tomato can be sold for ten cents, so it is easy and comfortable to sell tomatoes, and no one else has tomatoes, so it can be said that they are monopolized by Pei Xiangxiang.

Seeing that Pei Xiangxiang, who has always been keen on making money, couldn't say it, Xiu'e was a little surprised, and asked, "Why don't you go? It can't be because you are engaged. Your mother won't let you go out."

When Xiu'e asked, Pei Xiangxiang shook her head resolutely. Now that she and Lin Xu's marriage is plain, it's just a verbal agreement, and the formal engagement documents are discussed by the two with the intention of finding an auspicious day to complete it.

In Nanhe Village, after the girls get engaged, they basically don’t go out much. Just like Pei Yufang, she stays at home every day making clothes and embroidering purses. Pei Xiangxiang heard from Yang before that Pei Yufang has spent the next four years and four quarters. The clothes to be worn are all ready.

Pei Xiangxiang was surprised and couldn't help being curious. After making so many clothes so early, wouldn't he be afraid that he would get fat or grow taller later and wouldn't be able to wear them?After all, Pei Yufang is only fifteen or sixteen years old now. In modern times, it is puberty, and there are not a few people who become fat and grow taller.

Of course, these are not what Pei Xiangxiang wants to worry about now. The most important thing for her now is to make money quickly and move out of Pei's house as soon as possible. She couldn't wish for it, so she had to quickly save enough money to move.
