Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 39

Aunt Zhang frowned slightly. In front of Lian Fangzhou and her son, she couldn't say anything about her daughter-in-law, so she said angrily to Lian Fangzhou: "You too, why do you buy so much meat? It's not like having money! If I bought rice and mixed some sweet potatoes, it would be enough to eat for several days!"

Lian Fangzhou hurriedly smiled and said: "I knew that my aunt would definitely tell me! Please listen to my explanation first! The money for the meat was bought today by Aze and I by selling the mushrooms we picked the day before. , A Ze and the others are still growing, so they can't live too hard. Besides, it's just eating once in a while! I also think that my aunt and Uncle Li are always helping us, so of course I can't forget you. Otherwise, we won't feel at ease eating it!"

Everyone laughed when Fangzhou said this.

Uncle Li smiled and said, "Fangzhou is really getting better at talking! You, you really don't need to do that. We are all neighbors. It's a matter of helping hands, why do you always take it to heart!"

"That's right!" Aunt Zhang glared at her, but it was hard to blame her.

Lian Fangzhou smiled, took out the veil from his arms, opened it, gave the two pairs of velvet flowers to Zhao Shi and Li Juan respectively, and said with a smile, "When I bought it for my Qing'er, I also bought a pair by the way. For sister-in-law and Ajuan, worthless gadgets, and I don't know if sister-in-law and Ajuan like it or not!"

How can a woman's family, especially a young woman's family, don't like to dress up and love flowers? Both Zhao Shi and Li Juan let out a happy "Yeah", and they liked it when they held it in their hands and looked left and right, and kept thanking them with a smile.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law and daughter were so happy, Aunt Zhang had nothing to say, but she glared at Lian Fangzhou and shook her head helplessly.

For a while, everyone chatted with each other, and Lian Fangzhou asked with a smile, "By the way, I don't know if Aunt Zhang called me here—"

Aunt Zhang suddenly remembered it and smiled: "Look at my memory! Patronizing some and not talking nonsense, and forgetting the serious things! That's right, your family doesn't have any livestock, and there will be no composting available next year. The crops won't grow without fertilization! We just got ten kilograms of violet seeds, if you want, give me six or seven kilograms and scatter them in the fields in a few days, so that it can be used as green manure when spring begins!"

After the Vetch seeds are sown, they can grow to knee-high in spring and bloom purple-red copper coin-sized flowers. When ploughing the field, plough down as many as possible, and compost it into the soil, which is the best fertilizer, which is green manure.

Lian Fangzhou knew about this, and he had seen it in rural areas in modern times.

She nodded and smiled and said, "Uncle Li and Auntie are still thoughtful. If there is anything left, just give it to me as much as you want!"

"We don't have a lot of fields, and we have enough left over! I have already packed the bag, you can take it back! You can sprinkle it when the weather is good these days." Aunt Zhang said with a smile.

After hearing this, Mrs Zhao also smiled diligently and said, "Fangzhou, wait, I'll get it for you!" After saying that, he turned around.

Lian Fangzhou agreed.

For a while, Mr. Zhao brought a small sack over, handed it to Lian Fangzhou, and said with a smile, "Here!"

Lian Fangzhou took over and thanked him and was about to leave.

But he heard Zhao asked curiously: "Fangzhou, you said you were going to sell mushrooms today? How much did you sell?"

Since she opened her mouth to ask, Lian Fangzhou naturally wanted to say something, and smiled: "There are about three bags of dried mushrooms in total, and a total of four taels were sold like this—"

"What! So many!" Zhao shi cried out in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

In addition to surprise, there is also indescribable envy.

Not to mention her, even Uncle Li, Aunt Zhang, Li Sanhe and Li Juan were all stunned.

Seeing them like this, Lian Fangzhou felt a little embarrassed.

"Fangzhou, is this true?" Aunt Zhang murmured and asked again.

Forty taels of silver, this is the family's expenses for more than half a year. It is really incredible to earn so much in just a few days!

"Are those mushrooms really that valuable?" Zhao shi couldn't help but glanced at the basket that Lian Fangzhou sent over, and suddenly felt distressed: It's all money, what a pity to eat!

Lian Fangzhou smiled and told the story from beginning to end.

Aunt Zhang's color changed when she heard it: "You two brothers and sisters dare to go to Xianteng Mountain? Really—ah!"

Zhao Shi was dissatisfied and said: "Mother, if I knew I could make so much money, I would go too! What are you afraid of, I'm afraid that too much money will bite you!"

"Look at what you said!" Aunt Zhang gave Zhao Shi a blank look.

Where did Mr. Zhao have the mind to take care of that, he looked at Lian Fangzhou eagerly and asked, "Fangzhou, are you still going to pick mushrooms? If you go, take me with you! There are many people to accompany you, in case anything happens. It's good to have someone to take care of, isn't it?"

Zhao Shi had an idea and immediately thought of taking a piece of the pie.

And she herself didn't know which kinds of mushrooms could be eaten and which ones could not be eaten. If someone ate to death and got a lawsuit, it would be troublesome. Of course, it was the safest to follow Lian Fangzhou.

Lian Fangzhou glanced at Aunt Zhang embarrassedly and said with a smile: "I know Auntie, you and Uncle Li are very good to our sisters and brothers. Originally, I didn't want to hide this from you, but I was afraid. You know you won't agree, that's why I—"

As she spoke, she sighed softly, and said, "Aunt Zhang, don't worry! I'm measured and I won't mess around! A Ze and the others are still young. Where can I get enough food? I can't say I have to think of something else!"

Uncle Li sighed and said, "It's really hard for you! If you do this for them, they will definitely treat you well in the future!"

Aunt Zhang also sighed: "That's it! What else can I say after you said that? But there is one thing you need to pay attention to. There are no less than a hundred kinds of mushrooms in the mountains, and many of them are poisonous and eat dead people. If you haven't seen it before, don't pick it randomly! Also, the mushrooms grow close to the ground, and there are all kinds of snakes, insects and poisonous ants in the forest. Look carefully before picking, in case there are traces of something crawling over, Remember not to ask for it! It's okay if nothing happens, but if something goes wrong, it's life-threatening!"

Lian Fangzhou felt a chill in his heart, and said hurriedly: "Fangzhou has been taught, thank you aunt for the suggestion!"

Aunt Zhang smiled, nodded and said nothing more.

Zhao Shi couldn't help but ask again: "Fangzhou, are you still going? Tomorrow? Or the day after tomorrow? Or some other time..."

The Xianteng Mountain is extremely wide, and it doesn't hinder many people to go - even if the boundary is not wide, it is impossible for even Fangzhou to not want people from the Li family to follow.

When even nodded happily, he smiled and said, "Aze and I are planning to go tomorrow!"

She didn't say anything about inviting Zhao's - after all, Aunt Zhang didn't seem to agree with this.

However, the meaning of the welcome in the words is still very clear.

Zhao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but stepped forward and held Lian Fangzhou's arm with a smile: "Fangzhou, why don't I go with you tomorrow? Although I don't understand, you're not here! I don't ask for much, I'll be satisfied if I can earn a few pocket money!"
