Joe's Farming

Fortunately, the role of the Lingyun Guard was revealed at this time.

The team members were divided into groups of two and scattered throughout the market to ensure that there were no blind spots in the surveillance.

In addition, Xie Changyu did not come alone, but he thought that Qiao Yu's place was a market, and it would be unfavorable to have the yamen runners appear, so he asked them to change into regular clothes and told them to buy whatever they liked, just as if they were here for vacation.

Fortunately, there were no plastic products, paper towels or other garbage that needed to be disposed of. Qiao Yu also made it clear yesterday that each stall must keep its own stall clean, so at present, it did not become dirty and messy due to the large number of people.

Seeing that his husband had a serious face, Gu Feng asked him what was wrong.

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "It's okay. I just didn't expect so many people to come."

Xu Yuan joked, "It would be better if there were more people. Brother Qiao will charge each stall owner for the stall fee, market management fee, and cleaning fee."

Xie Changyu: "Don't forget to pay the deed tax when the time comes."

Qiao Yu:......

Xu Yuan: ...

Li Xin finally showed up at this time. Seeing the three little ones doing their business obediently, he immediately stepped forward to take care of their business and asked for two yuan.

Xu Dad and Xu Xiaodie also came out to set up their stall with two baskets of washed plums, and Xu Yuan hurried forward to help.

Xie Changyu and his wife finished their fried potatoes and prepared to check out other stalls.

Xie Tianyu was not very interested in those things, so he stayed with Qiao Xing and the others, sitting quietly on the side and occasionally helping to collect money.

Qiao Yu exclaimed, "Wow, it's just a small fried potato stall with two cashiers."

It's almost noon now and the sun is a little hot.

There happened to be umbrellas for sale at the market, so Qiao Yu went to buy two, one for himself and one for Hongxiu.

Xu Ning didn't need it at the stall because Qiao Yu had built a temporary shade in the stall area in advance, using bamboo poles and straw mats, which would be easy to dismantle when the time came.

At that time, no one had the idea of ​​using a parasol. They thought it was novel to see Qiao Yu holding an umbrella. After seeing that Qiao Yu looked really cool with the umbrella, those who were afraid of the heat also ran to buy umbrellas.

The umbrella stall owner was so happy that he insisted on giving Qiao Yu another umbrella.

Qiao Yu took it with a smile and gave it to Li Xin: "Look, it's only been summer and you're already tanned. Although you're young, you still need to pay attention to sun protection."

Li Xin retorted: "Brother, you don't know, this kind of umbrella can only block UVB, but it is UVA that causes skin aging, so it's useless. UVB makes people darker, and I'm a man... so I don't mind."

Qiao Yu took back her hand: "Don't forget it."

Li Xin immediately snatched it back and said, "Yes, yes, yes. UVB will burn your face... and there are flowers on this oil-paper umbrella. It will look so beautiful when it is opened."

Thank you, brother. Then I won’t disturb you and my husband from shopping at the market. I will go shopping by myself!”

Qiao Yu smiled and followed him, taking her husband to check out their own stall first.

Half the people in the market were in front of his stall.

There is no way around it. Each of these items, such as preserved eggs, salted duck eggs with red oil, milk tofu, and fermented black beans, is unique.

Although the price was very attractive, the people from the town did not bargain at all and were very happy to buy.

What's more, in addition to these, Bai Lan and Su Qing also prepared fresh wild vegetables picked the day before, which were picked and washed cleanly, and presented in small handfuls, making people salivate.

The staff of the villa packed the food for the guests in an orderly manner, collected the money, and said with a smile that they were welcome to come again next time, which made Qiao Yu very satisfied.

After walking around, I saw Xiaobai and Dazhuang’s small stalls.

This time, Xiaobai and Dazhuang fried crickets, cicadas and bamboo worms and sold them at three cents a string.

This is also Xiaobai and Dazhuang's side job. The couple gets up early and works late to catch insects for a long time for this small stall. They use lard as the oil and fry them in small amounts multiple times. After frying, they simply sprinkle salt on them.

When Qiao Yu arrived, Li Xin had already eaten a string of fried cicadas and fried bamboo worms with a look of horror and amazement.

"It smells so good. How do you know this bug is edible? It looks so scary."

Li Xin sighed while eating.

Xiao Bai said embarrassedly, "When I was a kid, there was nothing to eat. In the summer, I would go to the mountains to look for cicadas and bamboo worms. When I found them, I would roast them directly on the stove. When they were roasted, I would dip them in a little salt and eat them directly. They were very fragrant."

But at that time, even if Xiaobai found the most, he could still only eat two or three, and the rest were all snatched away by his brothers and sisters.

Hearing this, Da Zhuang quickly handed the string in his hand to Xiao Bai: "Xiao Bai, try this and see if it is as delicious as before."

Xiao Bai ate one with a red face and nodded: "It smells good, you eat one too."

"Hey." Da Zhuang ate the rest happily, then saw Gu Feng and Qiao Yu.

"Second Master, Boss. Do you want to try it? The food that Xiao Bai thought of is delicious!"

Qiao Yu smiled and nodded: "One skewer each, it's delicious. I'll buy a few more for the kids."

Gu Feng quickly took out the money, but Da Zhuang waved his hand and said, "How can you and the boss ask for money when you come to eat? No need."

Qiao Yu glared at him and said, "Then I won't eat it."

Xiaobai quickly winked at Dazhuang, who immediately lowered his head to collect the money, picked out the three largest strings and handed them to Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu took a bite of the cicada first, because Xiaobai removed the cicada's butt, head and legs when frying it, leaving only the high-protein chest cavity, which looked the least scary.

Unlike the bamboo worm, which only has its legs removed, it looks a little scary.

I am afraid of the bamboo worm (bamboo weevil) larvae if they are not released

The cicadas are fried until their shells are crispy, and the fresh barbecue flavor fills your mouth when you take a bite. It is especially delicious because of the little bit of salt.

Qiao Yu was stunned. The taste was a bit like the taste of the frog he had eaten before, but ten times more concentrated. This... was too delicious.

No wonder I heard that some people love to eat this kind of game, and it can be sold for 60 yuan a string in some tourist areas!

He understood now.

Seeing that his husband was silent, Gu Feng said, "Qiao'er, if you are not used to it, don't..."

Qiao Yu came back to her senses and handed the fried cicada to his mouth with a smile: "Husband, it's super delicious! Come and try it."

Li Xin was pleased: "Hahaha, I knew it would be the same as I did at first. It was scary, but delicious after eating it."

Although Gu Feng was naughty when he was a child, they caught cicadas mainly to play with them. What they liked more was to find cicada shells. After collecting them, people in the village would take them to the clinic to make medicine.

Gu Feng took a bite suspiciously, and then his expression showed that he was obviously amazed.

Qiao Yu had already started eating bamboo worms at this time. They tasted very good, with a similar flavor and were very fragrant.

Xiaobai and Dazhuang were very happy to see that both of them liked it and smiled at each other.

Qiao Yu said loudly: "Give me ten skewers of each!"

There were a few guests from other towns who were watching Li Xin eat. When they heard Qiao Yu wanted thirty skewers at once, they immediately started buying as well, fearing that Qiao Yu would buy all of them.
