Love delays my farming

Chu Yao told his grandparents what happened on the phone, and Grandpa Chu said: "Since he is the grandson of your uncle's grandfather's friend, then come and live here, what money do you need? Back then, your uncle and grandpa lived alone outside. It’s hard, we have to be kind to others when we get them.”

Chu Yao said: "I'm not afraid of a dude or something, it's not easy to provoke."

Grandpa Chu thought for a while, and said: "Probably not, your uncle and grandpa are supposed to have a proper temperament. Besides, he is here to recuperate, so what's wrong with him? It's really too much, so please ask him to take care of him." Send it back, what is a child afraid of?"

Chu Yao also felt that he was thinking too much. He sent a text message to the lawyer to ask about the personality of the eldest grandson. The lawyer replied that he was very calm and quiet, and he was a very easy-going personality.But because the family is rich, even if they recuperate in their own villas, they will always be disturbed by people, and they feel very annoying, so they want to find a clean place and so on.

Chu Yao's heart was half relieved, and then he rushed into the market with a basket to protect his grandparents.

This town is called Lingshan Town, because the mountain here is called Lingshan.But many places with mountains will have a spiritual mountain, and this name is just a good meaning for this mountain.As for the legends of Lingshan and the gods of Lingshan, they are all the same, and there is nothing to talk about.

Lingshan Town is the largest town outside the mountain. There is a passenger station extending in all directions. Other nearby towns or villages come and go through this passenger station.There is a large farmer's market in the town. Every [-]th day of the new year, this farmer's market will be open to people from various towns and villages to trade goods, gradually forming a market.

The last time I came to the market was the day when Chu Yao sent his parents away. At that time, the market was already coming to an end, and many people closed their stalls and went home without seeing any excitement.Later, because the family was busy with the few acres of land, I just asked Kang Huiguo to help bring some meat and vegetables.Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu had long planned to come to the market. They also went to this kind of big market when they were young, but after the adjustment of urban planning, many markets were withdrawn.

Not to mention Chu Yao, even Chu Yao's parents' impression of the market was still in childhood.Occasionally, I can hear from my parents that they went to temple fairs when they were young. There were dragon and lion dancers who were particularly lively, and those who set up a stage to sing operas, sold various snacks, and sold dog skin plasters.

It's just that temple fairs have gradually disappeared in cities and towns, and even this kind of large-scale market has gradually withdrawn from the stage of history. It can only be seen in such small towns and rural areas.

Most of the square outside the farmer's market is occupied by small vendors, and many snack makers occupy the leading position.

Chu Yao just felt dizzy. He wandered around for a long time in the fast food that sold wontons, deep-fried dough sticks, soy milk, old tofu, and various fried chicken drumsticks, bread, and twists.They came out early in the morning and only ate a bowl of tea soup made with hot water. After the car bumped all the way, the bowl of tea soup had long since been digested.

Now that I got out of the car and found a toilet to clear the goods, I just feel that my stomach is empty and uncomfortable.

Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu also wanted to eat something. They ordered wontons in clear soup and tofu nao, and ordered two deep-fried dough sticks and a sugar pancake. After eating it, Chu Yao felt unsatisfactory, so he asked the boss to make a cloth bag egg I shared with my grandparents and ate, and my stomach was full.

Leaving from the food stalls outside, we began to formally visit Daji.

There are all kinds of cheap clothes on the outside, all kinds of old coarse cloth, cloth shoes, panniers and baskets lined with stretched cloth.Bamboo and rattan baskets and plates, etc.Two steps in, there is a stall for buying mountain products and aquatic products. At a glance, Chu Yao saw that the village head Kang of Taoyuan Village was standing next to several big red barrels, selling big fish 25, medium [-], small [-], and killing them fresh.There are many people around who are picking and choosing, which is very lively.

Grandpa Chu went up to say hello, and then followed the crowd inside.Near the gate of the market, there is a shop that makes freshly baked bread and cakes, with a strong fragrance.In order to attract customers, they make and sell the cakes on the spot, saying that no drop of water is used in the cakes, and the eggs are all stupid eggs laid by their own free-range chickens.

After weighing two catties of cake, the grandparents and grandson went straight to the butcher's shop in the market.This butcher shop is also divided into specifications, there are stalls with brand names and home-raised ones.However, even if the pigs raised at home need to be tested if they want to sell them, people always prefer pigs that do not eat feed, even if they are more expensive.

"Grandpa, our pigs are good. They are mountain pigs that have been raised for two years. They go out to find food by themselves. Look at the fat and white meat, and they haven't eaten any feed! How can such a pig raise Even two hundred catties are considered heavy, so naturally it will be more expensive. It will take two months for me to come back after selling these two pigs. If you miss it, old man, you will have to wait." The stall owner was introducing his pigs to an old man, and the old man The uncle wanted to buy it, but he was a little scared off by the price of more than 30 per catty.

Grandpa Chu saw that the pork was not bad, so he discussed it with his wife and ordered five catties of pork belly, a big elbow and a set of ribs. Minced five catties of minced meat.So many things filled a pannier, which was temporarily carried by the only strong laborer.

Seeing that Grandpa Chu had bought so much, the old man was finally moved. He ordered two catties of pork ribs and two catties of pork belly, and he had to add a few more for a pink ticket.

"If it's a little better, I can't afford it. Your old brother is so willing to buy it." The old man looked at Chu Yao's basket, not knowing whether it was distressed or what, he just sucked his teeth.

Grandpa Chu said cheerfully: "It will take a long time to eat, there are many people in the family."

The old man was also acquainted, and said: "I thought you were going to hold a banquet, and you are not from this place according to your accent."

Grandpa Chu said: "Come and play for a while. The mountains and rivers here are beautiful. Let's recuperate."

"Stylish man." The old man laughed twice, put the meat he bought into the basket, and went on to buy other things.

After buying meat, I saw a stall selling seeds and vegetable seedlings.This is Grandma Chu's favorite. She bargained with others and bought two pepper seedlings and more than ten pepper seedlings, and carefully put them into her basket.

Chu Yao helped carry the basket, and saw that there were people shopping around with trailers, and felt that he had miscalculated.He should also buy a trailer. With dozens of catties of meat on his back, he didn't feel anything at first, but now he's panicking.

The three wandered around in the crowded market, and bought brown sugar bricks with a strong aroma, a large pile of various seasonings, and finally a few large pieces of tofu on top, filling all the baskets fully.

Chu Yao carried one on his back, one in his left hand and one in his right. He felt like a little daughter-in-law who was going back to her mother's house.It's just that this little daughter-in-law is so tired that even a 1.8-meter man can't hold it.

"There are livestock sellers in the back!" Grandpa Chu discovered the New World.

At the end of the market, there is a large open-air area, which is the livestock and poultry trading market.The chickens and ducks in big baskets, the piggies in the back of the cart, and the cattle, sheep, donkeys, mules and horses tied to the pillars are quite lively.

Chu Yao was so smoked that he sneezed twice, and then found that his grandparents had gone to see the cattle and sheep.

Grandma used to say that it would be a waste to dry and burn so much grass. It would be nice to raise cattle and sheep.Chu Yao even suspected that the reason why the two old people were so excited early in the morning was actually to buy this.

"Grandpa, we don't know how to choose when we buy this. Even if we can choose, how can we get it back?" Chu Yao is a two-year-old man. He has just learned how to transplant rice seedlings. He is a younger brother among farmers, and he will get some cattle and sheep back. , I'm afraid I'm really going to toss to death.

He doesn't know how to raise this stuff either!

The old man heard the same reasoning, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Kang Yongshun who was picking out piglets, and his eyes lit up immediately, "Nephew!"

Kang Yongshun looked back and saw Grandpa Chu, and also laughed, "Uncle Chu, what are you here to pick?"

Grandpa Chu said: "Just take a look, are you going to buy piglets?"

Kang Yongshun nodded honestly and said: "Isn't your family planning to raise a few pigs? Coincidentally, my nephew's family is also planning to raise a few pigs. I was thinking about picking a few more pigs. When your pigpen is finished, you can buy it directly from me. Just take it here. If you don’t like it, you can come back and pick it later.”

The stall owner who sold piglets saw the voice, stopped smoking, and just smiled: "Buying piglets? Our family bought them by ourselves, packed them up, and put them on when we go back to raise them."

Grandpa Chu looked at the group of little white pigs and shook his head, "I want to raise those flowers, black ones, the ones that can run in the mountains."

Chu Yao thought that the old man was thinking farther than himself, so he asked, "Grandpa, I think this little white pig is also pretty."

The stall owner laughed and said: "The old man knows how to eat, this pig is an economic pig, and it will be fattened up quickly when you buy it back. If you raise it yourself and kill it for food, it is better to raise local pigs. , and I’m not afraid of those wild cats and dogs. I sell this kind of white pig here, and my in-law’s family next to it, and his family has black earth pigs.”

Kang Yongshun first picked five small white pigs for the stall owner to weigh, and after paying the money, they put them in a basket and said, "That's right, if you want to eat by yourself, then buy local pigs. The local pigs here are delicious, but it's hard to get them." Fat, it weighs more than 100 catties a year, and many of them are raised for two or three years before they come out of the circle."

How did Chu Yao know this? He thinks that he can eat anything, but now that he looks at his mouth, he is not as good as the old man can choose.

There are not many people who buy native pigs. Although native pork is expensive, it is difficult to raise and they don't like fat.But the little piggies were getting old and energetic, running back and forth behind the car, and one of them almost jumped out.

Knowing how to buy pigs depends on whether they are mentally or not, and whether they can eat them. Only Chu Yao stretched his neck and stared at a little pig in the corner.That little piggy is only the size of two palms and looks rather weak.The stall owner sprinkled some rice bran into the trough, and it groaned for a long time but couldn't get any food.

Grandpa Chu also wanted to pick five. Kang Yongshun jumped into the cart to help him choose, and the stall owner watched from under the cart.He noticed Chu Yao's eyes, spit out thick smoke and laughed, "What, little brother, did you like that little one?"

Chu Yao was a little embarrassed, and said: "I just see that it can't eat, and I am anxious."

"That one is too weak to grow up. If you want me, I will give you a bonus. Isn't it popular for people in the city to keep pigs as pets now? You can keep this little thing for fun, Raise as many as you can, and eat meat at worst."

That little piggy didn't grab the food, and stood aside pitifully, with tears in its bright black eyes.

Chu Yao's heart softened when he saw it, and said: "Then give me a head, and I will take it back to play."

Grandpa Chu had pigs and wanted cattle and sheep. Fortunately, Kang Yongshun persuaded him, but he said that there are people in the village who herd cattle and sheep at home. It would be better to buy them from the village, and it would be convenient to transport them. This made Grandpa Chu rest The thought of driving the cattle back.

The piglets were all placed in baskets. Kang Yongshun said that he would ride a motorcycle and take them back to the village for a while, and then send them over after the pigpen on the island was built.Grandpa Chu was so grateful for this, he praised Kang Yongshun all the way, and Kang Yongshun's black face turned red.

After finishing the big set, Chu Yao was about to go back to have lunch, when Chu Yao received another call from the lawyer.Said that the young master couldn't wait any longer, he was going to set off today, and it was estimated that he would be able to arrive on the island tomorrow morning.

Chu Yao: ...

This young master is too urgent, right?
