Qin Nian found it very inconvenient. Anyway, after two months, when the stew restaurant opened, he would have to buy pots, pans, and utensils here.
It would be better to buy it now so that they can cook here and don’t have to deliver it every day.
Ye Meizi also thought it was right.
After setting up a stove in the greenhouse, it became much more convenient as we no longer had to deliver meals every day.
People in Dawa Village gradually learned that the Geng family and Qin Nian were growing strawberries, and the family had already agreed on a common story, saying that the land belonged to a distant relative of the Geng family.
They were just helping to keep an eye on it. The Geng family was not a wealthy family and it was impossible for them to own such a large piece of land, so no one disbelieved it.
Some villagers went to the fields to ask for strawberries. Qin Nian or the Geng family would pick a few for them, but not too many, otherwise it would be endless and they would eventually become enemies of the entire village. This is human nature.
On the third day of selling strawberries, Suqin went to visit someone.
Mrs. Li was so happy that she asked Suqin to help her watch the hatching eggs. She had to touch them every once in a while.
It can't be too hot, or the chicks in the eggs will die.
Mrs. Li washed a large bowl of strawberries for Suqin and asked her to eat them slowly. She went out with a wooden stick in her hand. She had to see what the strawberries looked like hanging on the branches.
Her legs are no longer lame, and she is leaning on the stick not because of her lameness, but because it is a habit she developed due to hunger in recent years.
When I walked to the end of the field, I saw countless bright red strawberries hanging on the vines. They were so beautiful.
Next to these red strawberries are strawberries, covering about two acres of land. They were planted a few days later than the first crop and are now full of fruits.
In a few days, they will be fully ripe and can be picked and sold.
First time I've seen this in my life.
Mrs. Li gathered her meticulously combed hair and showed a proud and knowing smile on her face. Her Xiao Nian was so capable.
“I am such a blessed grandmother.”
Mrs. Li praised herself and walked forward along the ridge. After every few steps, she bent down and picked a strawberry to eat.
Sweet, very sweet, sweeter than the honey at home.
After coming out of the strawberry field, Mrs. Li went to see the chicks in the cages, all of which she had hatched herself.
Wow, it’s only been a few days and he’s grown so big. He grows faster outside.
The chick screamed and ran frantically in both directions.
"Huh? You were all hatched by me, why are you afraid of me? I can't eat you alive—"
Mrs. Li suddenly stopped talking. She understood why the chicks were running away frantically.
A snake, a black and brown snake was standing by the cage, stretching its ugly head to look into the chicken coop, trying to find a place with a larger gap to crawl in and swallow the chicks.
"Hey, you beast, the chicks I hatched are not for you to eat. You have to let me see you, otherwise you will swallow at least two chicks."
Mrs. Li muttered something to herself, bent down, stretched out her hand, and accurately grasped the snake's vital point.
He picked up the snake, stroked its body vigorously with his other hand, and said with a chuckle, "It's a little over three feet long, so it's not short."
"Why, you planted such a large field of strawberries, and I can't even pick a basket?
Today I will teach you a lesson for this ungrateful person."
The sound of quarreling came from the field.
Mrs. Li looked up and saw, oh, isn’t that Mrs. Qin and Li Dahua, and that grass? What are they doing here?
Do you want to pick strawberries?
Ever since Prince Xuan came to Yi County to distribute relief grain, Mrs. Qin and her family, who were on the verge of starving to death, finally survived.
After the rain, their family also planted some cabbage and radishes in their own acres of land.
Both of these grow quickly and in a few days, they can be mixed with cornmeal to make porridge to drink.
They persisted in this way for two months, and then they heard people in their village say that there was a piece of land outside the county town where people had planted rows of red fruits.
The fruit is sweeter than sugar. If you ask for it for the first time, they will give you one to try, but not more.
I heard that the man who grew the fruit was named Geng.
When Mrs. Qin heard this, she told Zhao Xiaocao, "You go with them and say that there are elderly people at home who are greedy and want two strawberries from them.
You eat one first, and then ask for two after you finish it.
Don't be silly and ask for it first, they can't give that much.
Qin Duo, Qin Kai, Qin Li, the three of you go too, and remember to ask for more after you finish eating, and bring them back after you finish. "
Zhao Xiaocao and the three brothers of the Qin family followed the villagers.
Qin Nian and Geng Feng were picking strawberries in the field, and Geng Tian was at the edge of the field.
Every day someone comes to ask for strawberries, saying they want to try them. Qin Nian has instructed his family to give one to the elderly and children, but not to the young people.
Otherwise, all the strawberries in this field will be taken away. This is human nature.
Zhao Xiaocao was young, and she and the three Qin brothers failed to get any strawberries because Geng Tian refused to give them any.
"Qin Duo, isn't it Qin Nian who is picking strawberries in the field?"
Zhao Xiaocao's voice was full of excitement: "Look at the field, the one carrying the small basket is Qin Nian."
The three brothers of the Qin family took a look and realized it was really Qin Nian.
"Qin Nian, Qin Nian, come here."
The villagers said that the man who planted the fruit was named Geng, and it turned out that he was the family of Qin Nian's fiancé. This time, even if they didn't give the betrothal gift, they could at least get some fruit.
When Qin Nian saw that it was Zhao Xiaocao who waved at her, she ignored her and lowered her head to work in the fields.
Zhao Xiaocao shouted for a long time, but seeing that Qin Nian couldn't come, she had to go back with the three Qin brothers.
Zhao Xiaocao went home and quickly told Mrs. Qin that the people who planted the red fruits were Qin Nian's fiancé's family.
She wanted some red fruits, but Qin Nian was working in the fields and ignored her.
Mrs. Qin decided to take action herself.
The next day, I took Li Dahua and her three grandchildren to the strawberry field.
Looking at the field, oh, it's all red, full of fruits. It would be great if we could give them all.
Pick them and take them home to create as much as you want.
Qin Nian and Geng Feng happened to be at the edge of a field. On the cart beside them were more than a dozen baskets full of strawberries. They were planning to push the cart to the county town to sell.
"Qin Nian, Qin Nian, I'm your grandmother, give me some red fruits to taste."
When Geng Feng saw that it was Mrs. Qin, he looked at Qin Nian.
He knew that Qin Nian hated Mrs. Qin, but it was not convenient for him to refuse.
Qin Nian saw that it was Granny Qin who came to ask for strawberries, and glanced at Geng Tian: "Brother, give her one!"
Geng Tian picked up a strawberry and handed it to Mrs. Qin.
Mrs. Qin raised her hand and ate the strawberry in one bite.
That look reminded Qin Nian of the scene when Zhu Bajie ate the ginseng fruit in the TV series Journey to the West.
Drink it up in one gulp.
"Oh, it's sweet. It's so sweet."
Mrs. Qin gave three consecutive likes.
"Hurry up, boy, bring me some more. And first bring one of the baskets from the cart over here, hurry up."
Mrs. Qin ordered Geng Tian.
Geng Tian didn't know that Mrs. Qin was Qin Nian's biological grandmother. When he heard that she actually wanted a basket, he immediately became very angry.
“Old lady, you are too greedy. You want basket after basket? We have to pay for it. You can try it.
If you want more, pay for it. It’s fifty cents a pound.”
When Mrs. Qin heard this, she was unhappy.
