Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

Early the next morning, the convoy sent by Young Master Nan arrived, loaded three thousand catties of dry vermicelli, and Zhang Shu got back 98 taels of silver, which he sold at 25 Wen per catty.

Leaving aside how much convenience Master Nan's boat gave him, let's just say that his selling price in the local area has always been 25 renminbi.

Zhang Shu gave the money to Li Mujin, and the two struggled to open the cabinet, took out bricks, and put the silver in. Now there were more than 300 taels of silver in it, and they all earned it.

Li Muzhen's private money is hidden in another place, so that even if the house is ruined by thieves, it will not be looted.

Moreover, the possibility of being burglarized at home is not high. The puppies were skinny when they first came down the mountain. Now that they have been raised for more than a month, their flesh has grown and their stature has grown a lot.

With them guarding the door, strangers can't easily enter the house, and the sound of five dogs barking together wakes up even the dead.

Li Mujin likes them very much. He usually picks up the good food and throws the leftover peach pits to them.

Of course, dogs don’t eat them, they only regard the thrown things as dangerous goods, and then use various means to attack them. Every time Li Mujin watches the activities of the puppies, he can watch them for a while.

There are no children in the house now, but these puppies add a touch of fun to the home where there are only adults.

The big basket of peaches given by Young Master Nan went to half of them on the first day, and they were left there. Li Muqin would eat one every day, and with the addition of other people, it would soon bottom out.

Seeing Li Mujin's regretful expression, Zhang Shu decided to go to the county town to buy some, but he went all over the county town, but he didn't see this kind of peaches for sale.

He thought, maybe Master Nan brought it here from another place.Local peaches are also sold, but they are small in size. Except for a touch of red on the top, the rest of the peaches are green and white, and they taste mostly sour.

Although it wasn't delicious, it was better than nothing. Zhang Shu didn't buy too much, so he bought two catties for a penny and went back to taste it.He saw that there were watermelon sellers nearby, so he picked two big ones and took them back.

After he brought the peach home, everyone washed one and ate it. Li Mujin was fine, he could eat sour, but the others almost felt like their teeth were sour, especially Grandpa Zhang, who took a bite and then covered his mouth. Half of the cheek, whoops.

Grandma Zhang looked at him and patted him, "I'm used to being a monster, why didn't I see you and couldn't eat when I had nothing to eat before."

"I'm getting old and my teeth are failing. Can it be compared to before?" Grandpa Zhang is addicted to sweets, and his teeth are much worse than Grandma Zhang's.

Zhang Shu took out the big watermelon, washed it in the well water, then cut it open with a knife, and asked everyone to eat it together.The other big watermelon was hung in a basket and soaked in the well water. It tasted sweeter and more delicious when the heat was still hot in the evening.

Li Mujin gnawed on the peaches consciously, but didn't touch the watermelon.But Zhang Shu could still see his greed, so he said, "I'll buy you some peaches tomorrow, and it will taste better after a while."

Mrs. Ma was holding a piece of watermelon, and when she heard it, she said, "Where are you going to buy such peaches? There are plenty of peach trees in the back mountain, and no one picks them except those boys."

Mrs. Ma said that Houshan and Li Yan went hunting on different roads. After entering the mountain, one went to the left and the other to the right. Zhang Shu used to go to the left.

Zhang Shu was generally excluded from participating in group activities in the past, so he never went to pick peaches.Li Yan took Li Mujin there, but because Zhang Shu didn't go, he didn't go either.

"That's right, there are dozens of peach trees on that Jijiao Mountain. We used to pick them often. The peaches on two trees are the best. They don't have any sour taste, but they are not too big."

Yu Xiaoliu agreed, he had been there before the separation, and he would be busy making a living after the separation, so there would be no time to play with those furry children.

"Then let's go pick peaches today." Zhang Shu looked at the yearning in Li Mujin's eyes. Since he got pregnant, he has hardly been anywhere. Even if he wanted to see Li's father, it was the two of them who came down.

There was a little joy in Li Mujin's eyes, and then she restrained herself, "I won't go, you go."

"It's okay, I'll take you there, and I'll carry you there if it's not easy to go." Grandma Zhang wanted to persuade her, but she swallowed the words again. You know, the roads are all flat and the mountains have gentle slopes, and with Ah Shu protecting them, it should be fine.

"By the way, let's call Brother Wang and the others together, and bring Dabao, I think he's fine today." Yu Xiaoliu suggested that when they pick peaches later, Brother Yue can accompany Brother Ajin .

"Yes, Xiao Liu, go and call me, and I'll prepare something." Zhang Shu went to the kitchen to get some seasoning, brought a small earthen pot, then took a knife, and took a large mat from the room Rolled it up and put it in a pannier.

He led Li Mujin and walked out slowly.

Grandma Zhang called from behind, "Take care of Hibiscus!"

"Don't worry, grandma, I will."

As soon as he went out, Laiwang was fine too, he carried a pannier, Dabao squatted inside, He Yue also carried a pannier, and gave Yu Xiaoliu one, so he would go back to get it later.

The group of people understood Li Mujin, and walked slowly, chatting and looking at the surrounding scenery.Sometimes, if you slow down and walk around, you will find how beautiful the neglected scenery around you is.

As soon as Li Mujin went out, she felt comfortable physically and mentally, especially when she smelled the fresh air of the mountains, she felt more comfortable.

In fact, his treatment is very good. Basically, he has not worked any more when he has a body. However, he is stuck at home all day and night, which inevitably makes people lose energy.Thanks to the large yard of his house and the large number of people working in the backyard, it was not possible to suffocate the illness.

The peach grove on Jijiao Mountain was not too far from the village, and they rested for a while during the period, so they arrived at the peach grove within half an hour.

Now is the season of ripe peaches, and many overripe peaches have fallen on the ground.This year, because the work at home was left behind, the older children were also detained at home to help, and the younger children did not dare to go up the mountain by themselves.

Yu Xiaoliu wandered around in the peach grove, and then found the two particularly sweet peach trees, seeing that there were still many fruits on them, he was overjoyed.

"Dabao, come here! Watch Uncle pick sweet peaches for you to eat."

Dabao was put down by his father, and immediately ran to Yu Xiaoliu, looking expectantly at the peaches on the tree.

Zhang Shu took the mat out of the pannier and put it on the ground, then asked Li Mujin to sit and watch.

Several men went to pick peaches, so He Yue stopped climbing the tree to join in the fun, but dug up wild vegetables near Li Mujin, and chatted with him.

The peach trees here are quite old, and the branches are also thick. As long as the average adult does not go too high, the branches will not be broken.

Zhang Shu was alone on a tree, picking larger and redder peaches to pick, and accidentally stepped on a void, so frightened that he hastened to hold on to the trunk above.

The person stood still, but it seemed that something was stuck to his hands. Zhang Shu's face froze, thinking it could be bird droppings!He retracted his hand and took a look, only to find that there was something yellow and yellow sticking to it, which was sticky to the touch, not like bird droppings.

He looked up and saw that there were many such things on the tree, some were softer, some were harder, red, yellow, yellow, crystal clear, it didn't look like a bad thing.

Zhang Shu took one, put it to his nose and smelled it, and there was a clear fragrance on it.What the hell is this?The more Zhang Shu watched, the more fascinated he became, and the more he looked, the more he felt as if he had seen this thing before.

Zhang Shu tried his best to recall it, and finally remembered that he seemed to have seen it on the dustpan of his eldest son's house. He seemed to say that it was called "beauty's tears", and it cost [-] yuan a catty to sell in a pharmacy!

This stuff is said to be very good for women. Eating it can beautify the skin, prevent wrinkles, and remove moles on the face.The woman told him to come to ask for it, but when he heard that it was going to be so expensive, he turned around and went back, and was scolded by her.

The beauty's tears turned out to grow on the peach tree, no wonder they wanted to wrap the mountain later, it turned out to be so that everyone would not come to pick the peaches.

Zhang Shu stopped picking peaches, but looked for this beauty's tears from the tree instead. Although pregnant women can't eat them, they can be used later.

The beauties on this tree cried a lot, and after climbing up and down the tree for a while, they picked several taels.He took the hem of his clothes for a pocket, then climbed down the tree, and collapsed on the cushion where Li Mujin was sitting.

Li Mujin looked at the yellow and hard thing that looked like a pebble, and was very curious.He picked up a question tree, "What is this?"

"It's called Beauty's Tears. I heard it's a kind of tonic. You've eaten it very well, but you can't take it now. Moreover, if you sell it at a pharmacy, it's estimated to cost seventy or eighty yuan a catty."

Both Li Mujin and He Yue were very surprised, just this thing can be sold for so much money?Now it looks like, isn't money growing on this tree?

"Not every tree has it. There are many trees with broken bark." The tears of beauty that Zhang Shu just picked were all taken from the broken bark.There is not one on the branch that grows well like that.

"Then Xiaoliu and Brother Laiwang don't pick peaches, pick this one, maybe you can earn some money and spend it." Li Mujin suggested.

"No, it was discovered by Zhang Shu of your family. Even if we pick it, we will pick it for your family."

"Where is it, the trees here are born and raised naturally, so those who see it will have a share, a tree, go and tell them."

When Zhang Shu went to the bottom of the tree and said that, they became excited, and then Zhang Shu showed them the tears of beauty in his hand, and everyone started looking for them separately.

Even Dabao found a few under the tree, held them in his hands and refused to let them go, and continued to search for them in places where the adults could not see them.

Zhang Shu plucked all the beauty's tears from another tree. He looked up at the sky. It was almost noon. He was afraid that Li Mujin would be hungry, so he told him, and then went to the back of the peach forest alone.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Zhang Shu found a small piece of bamboo forest, and there was a "cuckling" sound inside, which sounded like a bamboo chicken.

This kind of chicken is much smaller than domestic chickens, but the meat tastes good and the taste is still very delicious.They like to move together in a group. At first glance, Zhangshu looks like four or five of them, looking for small bugs among the bamboo leaves leisurely.

Zhang Shu picked up a few stones and held them together in his hands, then threw them towards the group of bamboo chickens with all his might.The stones scattered in the air, and shot towards the bamboo chickens with fierce vigor, and hit three of them.

These three were not dead, but the stones hit their wings, probably the bones were broken and they couldn't fly, and the other two flew away quickly.

Zhang Shu rushed forward and tied the three together with grass stems, then happily carried them back.

On the way, he turned a corner to find a spring, killed the three chickens, cleaned them, and brought them back.

When he returned to Taolin, he saw Li Mujin's eyes looking this way at a glance, and the worry in his eyes turned into joy when he saw him.

Zhang Shu felt soft in his heart, Li Mujin was so worried about him just for a while, so how many times he went to sea in the past, how much should he worry about?Thinking of this, his heart was sour again.
