Chapter 19 Mountain People
"Su Su, you cut the meat and wash the vegetables. I'll go to Uncle Wu's house and I'll cook the vegetables when I get back."
Chen Ling put the two A bunch of vegetables and a bag of peanuts were put into the urea bag, and then he said.
“Huh?”
“Are you going to Uncle Wu to return the donkey cart now? The backyard is locked. I’ll get you the key.”
When Wang Susu heard this, she got up and went into the house to get the key.
Chen Ling stretched out his hand to stop him, "No need to take the key. I'm not returning the donkey cart. The donkey cart will still be used tomorrow. I'm going to say hello to Uncle Wu."
"Oh. , That's it."
"Then I'll get the flashlight for you, it's getting dark."
Wang Susu didn't ask what he was going to do with the donkey cart tomorrow, and turned around to help Chen in the house. Ling took the flashlight and went.
Chen Ling smiled when he saw this.
It’s great to have such a little wife.
When Wang Susu brought the flashlight, Chen Ling took it in his hand and left the house.
I have to say that the nights in mountain villages in this era are really dark.
Not to mention street lights, there are very few that even have electric lights on.
It was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers.
First, the current power supply is not very good, otherwise we would not have decided to install high-voltage power lines this year.
The other is that the mountain people are very frugal. They will continue to live as they did before.
I can’t afford to install a TV, and I can’t use electric lights. The monthly electricity bill is only a few cents, which is too much.
The term "black light and blind fire" is most appropriate in the current situation.
Chen Ling walked to Wang Laishun's house with a flashlight. When he entered, several members of the family were there.
There were kerosene lamps lit in the courtyard, and people gathered around a round stone table to eat.
"Hey, Fifth Uncle, Aunt Guizhen, are eating right now!"
Chen Ling put out the flashlight and walked in carrying peanuts and vegetables.
“Wealth is coming! Have you bought everything?”
When Wang Laishun saw that it was Chen Ling, he put down his bowl, got up and got him a maza.
"Bought it!"
Chen Ling nodded, and then said: "But Uncle Wu, I have to use the donkey cart for two more days..."
This As soon as the words left his mouth.
Wang Laishun's daughter-in-law, who had been silent when Chen Ling greeted her, suddenly frowned, and Wang Laishun's two daughters-in-law rolled their eyes.
"Ah? Donkey cart?"
Wang Laishun was stunned for a moment, but had no other reaction. He said while eating: "You can use it. Anyway, I haven't been busy yet, so you can use it if you want." "
"Are you going to plow the land?"
"It's not plowing. I still have to go back and forth to the county town to pull something."
Chen Ling waved his hand. , explained.
When he said this, even Wang Laishun couldn't help but frown:
"Fugui, what are your plans?"
"I don't have any plans, I'm just going to buy the things I need to buy. After buying it, let’s start plowing the land.”
Chen Ling smiled, how could he tell outsiders what he had planned.
When they heard what he said, everyone in his family, except Wang Laishun, laughed secretly. This idiot was probably out of his mind.
Is there anything to worry about in Erzhu's land?
If you go to the county town and spend money to buy this or that, can you make a fool of yourself?
Look how he cried in the end!
"Okay, you can weigh it yourself."
Wang Laishun sighed, it was hard to say anything in front of his family.
"By the way, Fifth Uncle, I brought you something from the city."
Chen Ling opened the urea bag and took out a bundle of beans and a bundle of eggplants first.
The last thing is peanuts.
Wang Laishun's family was surprised when they saw what Chen Ling brought out were fresh vegetables.
In these days, no one in the countryside spends money to buy vegetables, and everyone has their own vegetable garden.
In winter, it will also be stored in the vegetable cellar and pickled in the vegetable vat.
Only people from the county can buy food.
But no matter what, even in the county, vegetables this season are not cheap.
And they got it right? Is this eggplant and beans?
"Beans? Eggplant? Peanuts?"
"Are they all fresh?" Wang Laishun picked them up and looked at them, his eyes widened in surprise.
“Yes, fresh.”
“These are all produced in the greenhouse. They were just picked. I bought some when I came back from the county.”
Chen Ling smiled and nodded.
"What? Born in a greenhouse?"
Wang Laishun was even more surprised.
"Is this the greenhouse that the boss has been supporting for the past two years? The one that Erzhu built a few days ago?"
Chen Ling continued to nod.
At this time, everyone else on the table also put down their chopsticks and looked over.
Wang Laishun's daughter-in-law Liang Guizhen was too lazy to talk to Chen Ling just now, but now she came over and picked up the beans and eggplants, and took the initiative to talk to him:
"Fugui, you can buy a pound of vegetables in this greenhouse." It will cost a lot of money.”
“Well, it’s okay.”
Chen Ling responded lightly.
Seeing that Liang Guizhen was holding on to the two bundles of vegetables, I didn’t know what she was thinking.
These vegetables were different from those at home.
Before he returned to the village, he found a hidden place and temporarily spawned it from the outside world.
Just like peanuts, they are just a little bit more delicious than ordinary vegetables.
Otherwise he would not be willing to give it to anyone else.
“Aunt Guizhen, these peanuts are also fresh, just from the greenhouse.”
"It will be good to get up early tomorrow and cook porridge for a few children."
Chen Ling reminded.
Liang Guizhen said with a smile that she understood. She still just held the two bundles of vegetables without letting go, and had no intention of looking at the peanuts.
Why?
Generally, beans and eggplants in this season are not seen at all.
Can it be much cheaper?
Although peanuts are not cheap, compared with greenhouse vegetables, they are no longer expensive.
When Chen Ling saw this, he found it funny and said, "Uncle Wu, I'll leave first. I'll bring the donkey cart back to you when it's finished."
"I'll give it to you. !”
The vegetables in the greenhouse were delivered, and Wang Laishun was too embarrassed to sit still.
Chen Ling hurriedly said no, but Wang Laishun sent him to the gate of the hospital anyway.
After watching Chen Ling go away, he returned to the yard with his hands behind his back.
Suddenly he frowned and said, "This kid Fugui was beaten a lot. I'm afraid he was holding back some thoughts. Maybe this time I can really stir up some trouble for him."
"He can make a fool of himself. He is a lazy loser."
Liang Guizhen sighed and walked into the house with two bundles of vegetables.
The two daughters-in-law looked at each other and dared not say anything.
......
When she got home, Wang Susu had already washed and cut the vegetables, and cut the meat and put them in two basins.
After Chen Ling came back, she couldn't help but ask about the origin of this green vegetable.
After all, in this era, the appearance of off-season vegetables is quite curious.
Unlike later generations, even a child would take it for granted.
“This is something produced in a greenhouse. You know what a greenhouse is, it’s the one Erzhu is going to build this year.”
“After it’s built, it will feel like spring inside all year round. "
"You can also grow watermelons and vegetables in winter..."
"With a greenhouse, you can eat things you can only eat in spring and summer, all year round. .”
Chen Ling explained with a smile.
"Huh?"
"Speaking of which, can you really make a fortune by growing greenhouses?"
Wang Susu opened her mouth in surprise.
Then he suddenly thought of something and asked hesitantly: "Well, does it cost a lot to buy so many vegetables?"
"It didn't cost anything, my little housekeeper."
Seeing her little appearance, Chen Ling felt that she was so cute, and stretched out his hand to pinch her little nose.
Wang Susu is thin-skinned, how can he stand this.
In an instant, I blushed and my heart beat, and I glared at him shyly and angrily. I lowered my head and washed the iron pot for cooking, not daring to look up at him again.
