Chapter 187 Agree
"Uncle Chen, I'll go back first. I'll discuss this matter with grandma."
Zhou Mingshu said goodbye to the Chen family one by one, and then got on the donkey cart of the old Zhou family.
"You guys are selling really fast, and you've even bought the vegetables. Are we going home next?"
Zhou Mingshu asked happily before he even sat down.
"Haha, yes. As soon as we got there, we saw a bunch of people waiting there. We were scared. We thought they were here to rob us."
What Boss Zhou said was a bit exaggerated, but it was not difficult to see that they were really happy.
"Haha, that's really great." Zhou Mingshu responded.
"Next we are going to buy mung beans. We don't have much at home, so we need to stock up some more."
Boss Zhou drove his donkey cart towards another street.
"Yes, uncle, I drew a picture of the 'minced garlic artifact' I designed. Let's go to the blacksmith shop and make this thing. With this thing, we don't have to go back and forth to mince garlic."
Zhou Mingshu briefly explained the working principle of the "minced garlic artifact" to the piece of paper. Boss Zhou looked at it and found it very simple so he agreed. It was also because of this that he remembered that he still had a knife to sharpen.
Whether you make this 'minced garlic magic tool' or not, you must go to the blacksmith shop.
Boss Zhou took them to the grain store to buy two bags of mung beans, and then went to the blacksmith shop. It was almost noon when they finished all these things.
"Sit tight, we need to speed up, or we won't have lunch."
Boss Zhou let go of the donkey's reins and let it run freely.
The wind in my ears blew my hair onto my face, sticking it tightly to my face and I couldn't touch it away.
Fortunately, they finally got home before dinner time.
"Why are you so late today? Did you do too much?"
Seeing that they had not returned yet, Mrs. Zhou was undecided whether to cook for them, so she waited.
Now that everyone is back, let’s quickly put the prepared food into the pot.
"Mom, everything went smoothly. We just went to buy green beans and went to the blacksmith shop, so it took some time."
Boss Zhou took out the polished kitchen knife, and the reflected cold light almost blinded Mrs. Zhou's eyes.
"Okay, this is much brighter than before. I'm going to cook soon, so I'll give it a good edge."
Old Mrs. Zhou picked up the kitchen knife in her hand and felt that this knife was heavier than the previous one.
"Okay, we bought some vegetables and meat, you can cook it."
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhu had already brought in all the things. Looking at the full baskets, you could tell they had bought a lot.
"It's not like we don't have any food at home, why buy so much?"
Although Mrs. Zhou said this, she had a bright smile on her face.
Zhou Mingshu also came over at the right time, "Grandma, Uncle Chen is going to the county to buy medicinal herbs the day after tomorrow. I want to go with him. I have already asked Uncle Chen for permission. Do you agree?"
Looking at her granddaughter's bright smiling face, how could Grandma Zhou say no?
"Since you have agreed, then go ahead. It's a good opportunity to see the world. The county is much bigger than our town."
Zhu was also very happy and touched the back of her daughter's head with a smile.
"Okay, but they have to leave early the day after tomorrow. If I go, I have to sleep at her house for one night."
"Okay, then you can bring a set of clothes with you tomorrow. Will you be back the same day?"
Zhou Mingshu was not very clear about this issue, but he felt that he should be back that day.
"When you come back, go to the market to find your mother."
"I understand, grandma. I'll go to the seed shop to buy some vegetable seeds and flower seeds. If the price is right, I'll buy more."
"Okay, just plant it on the ground next to it."
Boss Zhou was not very tired, after all, he was doing the easiest job.
After unloading the donkey cart, Zhou Mingjie led the little donkey to eat grass.
"Luckily I brought six buckets today, otherwise it wouldn't be enough to sell. Those customers are like crazy. If I weren't here, your two sisters-in-law wouldn't be able to handle it."
This time, Boss Zhou did not exaggerate and gave a vivid description of what happened this morning, which made Boss Zhou No. 2 and Boss Zhou No. 3 sneer at the sound.
"Brother, according to what you said, we have made a lot of money today. So next time when we buy buckets, don't buy such small ones. Just buy a big one. If you buy a bunch of such small buckets, they won't take up enough space."
What Zhou Laosan said made sense. With so many buckets on the donkey cart, there would soon be no room for anyone.
"You're right. Next time when we buy a bucket, we'll have to buy a big one." Boss Zhou laughed.
The mung beans they soaked in the morning were obviously not enough for tomorrow morning.
Boss Zhou soaked some more and went to grind mung bean milk in the afternoon.
Zhou Laoer and a few others were at home tidying up the land next door.
Today's area has increased compared to yesterday.
"What is our mother going to plant?" Boss Zhou had not discussed this topic with them yet and had no idea about it.
"It will be too late if you wait for me to worry about it, haha. The seeds have already been sown."
Zhou Laoer sat aside and smiled. As soon as they drove the donkey cart away, the other men, young and old, started to take action.
I turned over this wasteland full of grass roots and dug out so many baskets of grass roots.
"I sowed some radish seeds first, and then planted some garlic, chili peppers, and I think coriander and shallots. I don't know the details, so you should ask mom later."
Zhou Laosan didn't care about this, he was just digging the ground, he just heard these things by accident.
"Yes, it's okay to plant these. They are what we eat and use often."
Hearing this, he realized that his mother had already arranged the use of the land, so he should just work more and interfere less.
The lunch was very rich, with meat, vegetables and sesame cakes. We also happened to have steamed some new steamed buns and wild vegetables today, so everyone could eat whatever they wanted.
"Sanya, many of these Viola yedoensis are in bloom. Can you eat these flowers?"
Old Mrs. Zhou asked. She was very hesitant when picking vegetables today, wondering whether this flower was edible.
San Ya said before that Viola yedoensis is both a wild vegetable and a traditional Chinese medicine. It would be bad if the flowers turned out to be poisonous.
"Grandma, you can eat it. Don't worry. The same goes for purslane. There won't be any problem if you eat it."
"That's good. Now most of the wild vegetables outside are in bloom. I don't even dare to dig up the ones that are in bloom, haha."
But now that she had received San Ya's affirmative response, she didn't have to worry about any problems anymore.
After Zhou Mingshu fried the loach, he also fried a few eggs and stewed them together. The whole pot of soup seemed quite sufficient.
She served herself a bowl of loach soup, which was really delicious.
After finishing a bowl of soup, Zhou Mingshu really couldn't eat anymore.
Looking at the sumptuous meal on the table, she smiled and went back to the house.
A life of having meat every meal has finally come true. As long as the jelly business can continue, there will be no worries about having meat to eat in the future.
