Chapter 715 Reclamation of wasteland
The puppy smiled and replied:
"I made it all while the moonlight. After I was done, sometimes I was too tired, so I went under the old locust tree to talk to my father, and I immediately had the strength to work hard!"
"I promised my benefactor to take good care of this place, and I must do it!"
The puppy finally summarized:
"Besides, I promised you that you would share half of your harvest. The horse manure and pig manure you gave me is really helpful! Don't worry, I will never let you suffer a loss!"
The shopkeeper looked at the little dog's shoulder and suddenly looked a little admiring for the child.
Time passes by, and in a blink of an eye, more than March is coming. The puppy's land is becoming more and more refined, and some spicy ingredients are planted. Although the two small patches of tender seedlings still look a little weak, every time the puppy approaches carefully, it is already stimulated by the spicy taste that I want to eat more sorghum cakes.
But the puppy was reluctant to let go. At most, when the seedlings were slightly grown, they carefully pinched off the sharp and yellow leaves at the bottom with their fingernails. He carefully put them into his mouth, closed his eyes and chewed them with satisfaction for a long time. Then he opened his mouth and bit half of the black and yellow sorghum cake.
The little dog put in a desperate effort every day, and his diligent, kind but neither humble nor arrogant personality, soon all the people in Zhendian knew that the little beggar who used to follow the old beggar "Second Master" every day had grown up and had his own small world. The old carpenter wanted to take the little dog directly as a closed disciple, and was also guiding the little dog more attentively.
At that time, spicy ingredients were not regular customers at the dinner table, and people had to calculate clearly when eating salt. Moreover, this spicy ingredients that could increase the consumption of the cakes were even nicknamed "meal thief" by people!
Because of this "meal thief", there is a story circulating among the people. Whenever the puppy comes out to sell with carefully cut vegetables, there will be an aunt who has lost several teeth around him, wanting to see if the puppy will fall off a few leaves of spicy vegetables that customers don't want.
Often at this time, the aunts were not embarrassed to be surrounded by the little dog and did nothing, so they had to tell the story of the "food thief" over and over again:
By the way, when spicy ingredients were spread from the Western Regions to the Central Plains, people were surprised to find that the taste of this ingredient can give people a great desire and appetite to eat. Even the untreated sorghum cakes have a few pieces of spicy ingredients? They taste much more fragrant out of thin air.
So for a while, this kind of ingredient became popular all over the world, but? After all, not everyone can afford it? Even if you buy it once occasionally, it is for the busy farming season? You have to keep going? So I bought one or two trees to increase the amount of food. Fortunately, when working, I can put more effort into it and work more.
On this day? Lao Wangtou on the temple heard a hawker outside the door:
"Selling spicy vegetables! Selling spicy vegetables!"
"My spicy dish is worth a bite. You can be addicted to eating one bite. You can eat two bites and eat three bites to be refreshed. Eat a whole tree and work is better than beef!"
"Sell spicy vegetables! Sell spicy vegetables! Come out and buy them all!"
....
Old Wang listened to it? Thinking of the spicy taste, there was some saliva in his mouth. Then he looked at the black sorghum cake in his hand? Then he looked at the oldest sons and the youngest girls who couldn't swallow their food. No wonder, the grain had not been collected yet. At this time, he could only eat some old stocks, including rice, white flour, millet and other fine grains. After paying the rent and taxes, there was not a few left in the people's homes. He was willing to eat his family in a big chew. Except for two meals left during the Chinese New Year and about the fifteenth, he sold all the others, and replaced them with hunger-resistant and cheap corn and sorghum. With some wild vegetables, he could always last for a whole year and wait until the next time the food was down.
But after all, this sorghum cake is both arousing and difficult to swallow, so everyone can't eat it, which is understandable. When everyone heard the vendor selling spicy vegetables, everyone quietly glanced at Lao Wang, but Lao Wang sighed in his heart and thought silently:
"If there were still a few copper coins, it wouldn't be that when you had to work hard, you would have to let everyone eat sorghum cakes. If you were not good, you would have made a few yellow buns with corn noodles, but this is really no money in your hands!"
Lao Wang couldn't stand the look of everyone looking at him. He turned around and took the black and yellow sorghum bun and left the yard. As soon as he left the yard, he was attracted by the cluster of green things in front of him!
"Is it because the weeds on the street were pulled away and still at the door of my house? But it doesn't look like it!"
Lao Wang looked forward.
"My God! Oh my God! This vendor accidentally lost such a big bundle of onions!"
Lao Wang gasped without realizing it. It turned out to be a "big bundle" of spicy green onions!
Lao Wang hurriedly checked around and saw that there was no one, so he hugged the bundle of green onions that had at least seven or eight, turned around and entered the courtyard again, and closed the door tightly!
He happily blew the bundle of green onions, and suddenly he was still there, all of a sudden, and the children who were frowning and trying hard toward the sorghum buns, which immediately caused a scream.
Even the old woman who had always looked down on him changed her appearance and went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of boiling water for Lao Wang, so that he could drink it after eating the sorghum cakes, and not drink the cold well water like children.
Lao Wang picked up one with pride and was reluctant to eat the green onion. He started eating the green leaves. In a blink of an eye, a few young men took the third daughter, the little daughter and the old wife on the plane to eat all the seven or eight green onions, and drank half a bucket of water. Everyone touched their belly and felt very satisfied and satisfied.
When Lao Wang saw that everyone had enough food and drink, he called everyone and said that we should go to the fields to work as we were full of energy. So everyone was busy working for the afternoon of work. It was not until the sun set and the moon was on the branches that I couldn't see clearly. I was so tired that I felt sore and my back hurt. I could no longer work, so I slowly returned home.
As soon as he got home, Lao Wang would shout to his wife, "Get the sorghum cakes soon and starve us to death!"
