Fields of Gold

Just say it! Yu Xiaograss pulled out a piece of silver from where he hid the money and thought about putting it in his arms again. In the early winter north, there has been a chill formation, and many have worn swollen jackets. So Yu Xiaowei stuffed a series of hundred words of copper plates, and there was nothing out there to see.

Yu Xiaowei carried a huge basket with joy, with equally excited little stones, towards the pier. Dongshan Village is closer to the pier than the town, but it would take more than an hour to walk. Yu Xiaocao was in a good mood and walked away without feeling too tired.

This is the busiest part of the dock. Fishing out of the sea is loaded and returning, and the southwest corner of the pier forms a natural fish market.

Large housekeepers come to buy, picking out seafood and fish that their owners like. Buying from all the big wineries, restaurants and inns in town is also waiting here for the freshest sea fish.

On the dock, several freighters had just landed, and dock workers, organized by foremen, orderly unloaded the cargo onto the carriage. It's called selling, drinking, and muttering... interwoven to form a bustling morning view of the pier.

Little grass feels this intense breath of life, deeply touched in her heart.

“Second Sister, that's the place to sell it earlier. The stone came with Dad once before, where he bought me a big white bun. White buns are the best! ”

Snack stones point to a place outside the dock that leans against the side of the road with a few simple shacks and warm air in the morning breeze.

Pier workers and fishermen, perhaps with dry food. Take a cold morning or have a bowl of hot soup to keep you warm.

There are markets where there is demand. There are porridges, soup noodles, stoves and buns in that low shack. There are also farmers who sell home cooked small dishes with baskets or salted vegetables while they are idle.

Little grass dishes, with their own halibut craftsmanship of previous life, should be a place to compete. However, there are a lot of people here, it passes into her milk mouth, I'm afraid even the principal money will be scratched over...

“Little Lotus... or Little Grass?” Little Grass didn't expect to meet someone she knew at the pier, turning her head and seeing a strange face.

This is a slightly black teenager, quite tall, fifteen or sixteen years old, with big eyebrows, a familiar feeling between her eyebrows —— this... who?

The little stone in her hand gave her the answer: "Cousin, what are you doing here? Are you here with your aunt? ”

He is the son of Uncle Liu Zhiwei, 14 years old. Although he is only fourteen years old, he looks strong and powerful. He doesn't look like an uncle, he doesn't look like an aunt, but he looks like an uncle.

Liu Zhiwei hehe chuckled: “Well, I came here with my aunt, and uncle, to see if I could find a job at the pier... uncle came here often, familiar with the foreman, already went to unload the goods. I'm too young to use me! ”

The teenager spoke with indignation. Although he is not old, he still has the strength. He followed his father down on weekdays and worked hard. Why don't you use him?

“Little grass, rock! What are you doing at the pier?” Grand Aunt Han walked over with a basket and greeted her gently.

Little Grass brothers politely called out "Auntie Big”. When the grass was smashed in the head and slept for three days, Grandma, Grandpa and several aunts came to see her and brought a hen and a half basket of eggs. It was inadvertently confiscated by the Zhang family.

In Zhang's view, Liu's two heads are not well for three days, and Yu Xiaowei is another big medicine can. I can't fill these two bottomless holes with more stuff from my family!

Little Grass has a good impression of her own home. I learned from Xiao Lian's mouth that her great-aunt was very generous and enthusiastic about their family, which is true.

As they were saying, it was time for the dock workers to rest for breakfast. On the order of the foreman, a hundred and ten workers, some with cloth bags in their hands and some with empty hands, came this way.

Sell early and enthusiastically solicit business: “Hot soup, hot soup, hot cabbage soup, radish soup...”

“Hot porridge, hot porridge! Hot and cheap, every penny, every bowl..."

“Soup noodles! Bowl of soup noodles, boy! A bowl full of food...”

“Pickled vegetables, delicious pickled vegetables, a penny divided among several people, brother, buy some pickled vegetables, will work hard...”

Auntie said to the two brothers, “This is a good time to sell food. I have to hurry up and ask for business. You haven't had breakfast yet, have you, Zhiwei? Here are five copper plates. Buy some buns and share them with your younger siblings. ”

In the talking room, there was already sweat on his head, and the dock worker with the smell of sweat came over and smiled at his aunt: "Sister-in-law, a penny of soy sauce and pickled pickles! ”

“Okay!” My aunt grabbed a couple of cakes in his hand and put some sauce on them. The pickled vegetables are finely chopped and sautéed in pork oil. A penny, a bag of oil and paper.

The man took the cake and ate it with a big mouthful. “Sister-in-law, don't tell me, it still tastes good under your big sauce, and the pickles are salty and moderately salty. I'm used to eating your family and eating other people's food. That's not right! ”

“That's it! Who's the daughter-in-law?” A tall, healthy middle-aged man with healthy wheat skin, five handsome officers, patted the man's shoulder from behind and smiled at his white teeth.

Little rock jumped on him and grabbed the middle-aged man's calf. “Uncle, you haven't been to my house in a long time. Little rock misses you! ”

Liu Pei bent over and held the little guy up. He held him in his hand. He looked at the little face of the little guy's flesh with surprise and smiled. “Is your family alone? You've grown a lot of weight! ”

“No, Second Sister catches fish and catches rabbits. It's delicious to roast! Next time bring an uncle...” If it's a small stone, you can't afford to treat meat like human beings. Now you can have a barbecue or stewed meat every few days (take the prey to Uncle Zhao's and cook it in her stove). One or two prey is really not a rare thing for him.

Liu Pei carefully measured Yu Xiaograss's face, and the smile on his face became stronger: “Xiaograss is really good at catching fish and catching rabbits! With this heart, your uncle will be happy. Does your grandmother want you to take the meat outside? ”

“Tell the kids what this is about!” My aunt glanced at her head. Little grass can see that her business is not good. After all, she has salty sauce and everything at home. She can bring everything from home herself. Who pays to buy it?

Little stones chuckled and said: "We are all cooked in the mountains, eaten by our own family. Don't let my grandma know. ”

“Don't forget to eat more privately for your mother, your mother has been hard all these years!” Liu Pei sees the suffering of her only sister over the years, but there is nothing she can do to help.

Dad shouldn't have married a sister to someone like that then, if there was a stepdaughter, there was a stepfather. It used to look okay. When their old man went to school, even Old Man Yu's heart went sideways.

“Well, the little rock left my mother chicken legs and rabbit legs, and there's a lot of meat on them!” Little guy sells good.

Yu Xiaograss screamed at Xiaoshi and smiled and said: “Stone, get down! Give Uncle a break and eat something. ”

“Nothing! How much weight can a five-year-old have?” So Liu Pei put the little guy down. The foreman said there will be an official boat to load later, it can't be so-so.

There are dock loaders eating and unloading around, and there's a lot of talk about this official's boat. Yu Xiaoxue heard that it was one of the county princes in Jingli who went out to sea and went far away to exchange new species.

From everyone's gossip, Yu Xiaoxue learned that when the Emperor was still a king, he also liked to sail the ocean. These big boats that can sail the ocean were freed up in their teens today.

Before boarding, Jianwenti sailed many times to reach the South Ocean, the West and even further afield. Bring back the high-yielding potato crop, along with some strange spices. For example: hot peppers with swollen mouths, crunchy cucumbers to eat, watermelons to quench thirst in summer...

Yu Xiaograss tragically remembered the history of junior high school in previous life, and also mentioned the development of Ming Dynasty navigation. However, in the lower part of history, Mrs Sanbao Zhenghe, not some prince, has nothing to do with Jianwenti. Did the Founding Emperor and this Builder come through?

Alas, crossing is risky, you must be careful! In many Miyagi Dojo novels, they also cross colleagues, take care of each other less, and love each other a lot. Little people, fight the emperor with nothing! Stick to your tail and keep your head down!

The two brothers did not let their aunts buy buns and lied about eating them in the morning. They stayed at the pier for a while, and officials came to clear up. The prince traveled, idle miscellaneous people, etc., retreated and avoided.

Cleared out, not only the two little grass brothers, even those carrying baskets for business, are thrown out of the pier. Merchants in the shed were spared.

Little stones quarreled to see the county king. Yu Xiaograss had to hold on to his little hand, and was blocked from the side of the road by official duty. He saw the noise from the people's stitches.

At that moment, the noisy pier was quiet. A wagon full of cargo, with a large number of tails almost invisible. The first few clothes were minimalist with noble characters, riding tall horses, clustered around a Chinese clothing teenager.

“Second sister, that big brother, is that the county king?” The sound of the little rock is not loud, but it is particularly clear on the road where the sound of the horseshoe remains.
