Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

When they woke up in the morning, it was already three o'clock in the morning. After breakfast, the two of them planned to go haul some grain first.

While pulling the car down, Li Yunqiang and Lu Xiaoxia pulled Guzi up the slope on the other side of the river.

Li Yunshan naturally couldn't help pulling the car, and Mao Xiaosui wouldn't help even if he was empty-handed.

Ding Wenxiu was picking grain in the field. Coming up the slope, Mao Xiaosui felt something was wrong and asked Li Yunshan, "Is she in our field?"

"It seems so." Li Yunshan sounded helpless.

Before Mao Xiaosui could decide whether to make a quarrel or not, he saw Ding Wenxiu returned to their field after noticing their arrival.

The two of them could only pretend to be blind, fearing that all the ears of grain in the field would be picked up after they left. They simply picked the ears first. The kind of holes that make a pit when you step on them are most likely to be rat holes.

They didn't bring shovels, and it was difficult to dig with their hands. Mao Xiaosui was a little curious about whether there was really food in it, so he told Li Yunshan and started digging.

The hole was dug deeper and deeper, and it was still long. After digging for a while, there was still no food.

Li Yunshan also came over, reached in along the entrance of the cave to try, and said, "I can't touch it. I'll dig it with a shovel this afternoon."

Li Yunqiang and Lu Xiaoxia pulled the car and came again, and Li Yunshan called him.

Mao Xiaosui immediately stared over when he saw Ding Wenxiu's eyes.

Li Yunshan didn't care, and said like a casual chat, "You don't have to ask grandma to help my family pick up the ears, we can pick them ourselves."

Li Yunqiang knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and did not respond. He just heard Ding Wenxiu curse a few more times.

She was still a little surprised by Li Yunshan's care today, and asked in a low voice, "What...did you tell Li Yunqiang today?"

"There's no point in enduring it."

There was no point saying she couldn't bear it, she couldn't really beat him up like he did to others, but she was quite pleased with Li Yunshan's sudden change in caring about him.

They had picked up the grain ears from the two acres of land they had brought back, and the remaining three acres were quickly picked up. Before noon, the two of them loaded up the car and drove it back.

On the way, I met the Lu family. The elderly woman must be Lu Xiaofang's mother. After meeting them, she smiled and said, "My daughter is getting married on September 6th. You all come to dinner."

After the man finished speaking, he left with a smile on his face. Mao Xiaosui felt confused and asked Li Yunshan, "Is she Lu Xiaoxiafang's mother?"

"Yes." Li Yunshan thought for a while and said, "Lu Xiaofang may want to marry in the town."

"So the Lu family is just showing off?" I have never heard of a girl in the village setting up a banquet when getting married. The Lu family is so high-profile, I am afraid that just like what Li Yunshan said, Lu Xiaofang is going to marry in the town, and He should also be a rich man.

However, Mao Mingzhu seemed to have said that she was going to be a housekeeper, but it didn't look like this.

"Then shall we go? Li Yunqiang's family will go, right? Their family has raised Lu Xiaoxia after all."

"You want to go? They may not really want us to go, they may just be showing off."

"No, I'm just curious about who Lu Xiaofang married."

"It's definitely not people like us..."

In the afternoon, he had to pull millet because he was too hungry to have the energy. After dinner, Mao Xiaosui boiled some bean noodles and steamed the steamed buns, and then went to the backyard to pick some green onions.

Wash the green onions, shake them with water, sprinkle some salt on them and rub them on the chopping board.

Rub until the onions come out of the water and become soft, then put in a basin and sprinkle with a little sesame oil and mix.

This is a dish she often ate when she was a child. It is best served with porridge. When the time comes when La Guzi is hungry and she comes back to eat steamed buns, it can also be eaten as a side dish.

Li Yunshan was already asleep in the house, and Heizi was lying on the steps of the kitchen door with his paws folded, his head moving busy as she came in and out.

She hooked her fingers, and Heizi stood up and walked over. He rubbed his head against her hand and lay down again.

The chicken in the backyard had been crowing for a while. She got up to get the eggs. Heizi rushed out. Mao Xiaosui was stirred by it and almost fell down.

The thresher was still busy in the field today. After taking the eggs and returning to the kitchen, the steamed buns were steamed. She put the steamed buns on the panel to dry, poured the water from the pot into the basin, and planned to wash the vegetables and pots at night, and put them away. Then I went back to the main room to sleep.

When I woke up in the afternoon, the sun was even brighter, but it was a little less humid and hot than in June and July. It was very comfortable to bask in the sun in the yard with a hat on.

The green onions that I rubbed at noon are very tasty now. The salty taste has the smell of sesame oil and the unique spiciness of green onions. It is very delicious when paired with steamed buns.

It was also the first time for Li Yunshan to eat it. Since he was not a very picky eater, Mao Xiaosui still asked, "Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious." Li Yunshan asked her, "Did you figure it out yourself or did you learn it from someone?"

"Taking it into consideration."

"It's delicious. It should also be delicious when you drink porridge."

When Mao Xiaosui heard what he said, he hesitated and asked, "It can be pickled, right? You may need to add more salt."

He nodded "Try."

"I don't think there's enough salt at home. We can eat normally until the end of the year. I'm afraid there won't be enough pickled onions."

"My sister-in-law has some at home. Buy some and try them out."

"How come my sister-in-law's house has everything..."

"If you don't have enough meat to sell at home, you have to marinate it in the sun, otherwise it will go bad..."

"Why haven't I seen anyone selling cured meat?"

"The pickled ones are not as delicious as the fresh ones, and they have much less oil and water. In addition, salt is used, and the selling price is almost the same as the fresh ones. Many people are not willing to buy them. They keep them for themselves or if someone wants them. It will be sold only if it is sold.”

"I heard my sister-in-law say that business is very good?"

"I haven't asked in detail, but it should be pretty good. Brother Ding's previous land was sold, and after raising pigs, he bought several acres one after another. One acre of land is considered to be eighteen taels, which is quite a lot. One year I estimate that I will earn dozens of taels."

"If it's so good, why isn't anyone else doing this business? I feel like it's quite profitable and I can still eat it."

"It's not easy to raise. A pig needs to eat as much as thirty or forty chickens in a day. If you really want to open a shop, you will need at least a dozen pigs."

"Not to mention winter grain, summer grass alone is also difficult to obtain."

"Country people can't afford to eat meat all year round. If they're not lucky, they have to throw it away. Not many people here have the spare money. Unless they sell their land, most people don't dare..."

Mao Xiaosui found it difficult to hear what he said. He stood up and said, "Hurry up and get to the ground."

Li Yunshan drank the honey water in the bowl and took another mouthful of green onions before getting up.

He went to find a shovel and a sack, and Mao Xiaosui scooped up some water to wash the dishes.
