Chapter 226 Eating lotus pods

When Lao Wangtou learned that the horse was gone, he felt his heart tighten and almost didn't come up in one breath.

He went to check and found no trace of the horse.

The people in the village also said they had never seen it before.

Everyone is busy rushing to collect, how can I have time to care about horses?

"This horse doesn't belong to our family!" This is what Pharaoh's head hurts the most. If someone else's horse is lost, he must pay for it.

Someone asked: "How much is this horse? I think it runs very fast."

"At least thirty-five taels of silver!" When Lao Wangtou went to buy a donkey cart, he asked about the carriage.

An ordinary donkey is two taels of silver, and a better one is close to three taels.

The laws of Dachang state stipulate that ordinary people can buy ordinary horses, and ordinary horses are usually selected from war horses, or old horses.

In case of war, the government can requisition it free of charge.

That kind of inferior horses can be used on weekdays. If they go to war, they will basically die, so being requisitioned is equivalent to giving them to the government.

I don’t need it very much at home, so I don’t usually buy it, and I don’t think it’s worth it.

Even if you can buy it, the price is unimaginable for ordinary people.

The quality of horses in villages and towns is definitely worse, but they are still much better than donkeys.

The worst is thirty-five taels of silver, and the better ones are sixty-seven taels.

The horse from Qin Huai's family always felt better than the one on the market. Old Wang couldn't even imagine how much it should cost.

Hearing the price of the horse, the others also took a breath.

greeted everyone and hurry up to find the horse.

Compared to a horse with a few dozen taels of silver, it doesn't matter if the food in the field waits a little.

You can't let the old Wang family lose so much money, can you?

At this moment, the sky suddenly boomed.

There was a loud noise soon after.

It's thundering.

Old Wang's face changed: "Don't be busy, big guy, hurry up and collect food!"

Thunderstorms in summer come as soon as they say, from thunder to rain, it usually doesn't take long.

The adults hurriedly knocked out the rice that had already been cut in the field, and then picked the finished ones back.

The children were in a panic and began to harvest food.

As a result, I heard an ouch on the dam.

"My leg hurts!"

"God, I can't move, who will pull me!"

These children squatted for a long time, walking like ducks one by one.

We have to harvest food quickly.

is simply painful and tormenting.

Lao Wang's family has a lot of food, but luckily there are also many children.

In addition to the three brothers of Gou left, there are 10 boys in total, and the silent and insignificant dumplings, a group of people gathered all the food in a short while.

Then cover it with another layer of tarpaulin, put straw on the surface, and press stones around it.

The food is ready.

They didn’t sit still after collecting them, so they hurried to help other people collect them.

Xiao Ayu was waving her arms and legs, and was also helping to collect food.

She had a small dustpan made by Lao Wangtou for him, humming, and taking the food into the space when everyone was not paying attention.

Then when pouring to the middle, put the grain out.

Everyone was busy, and no one noticed Xiao Ayu's actions at all.

"Hey, today's collection is so fast!" Some people were amazed.

"I'm harvesting food every day, isn't this just practiced?"

Farming will last for more than half a month. Some early households have started harvesting food a few days ago. These children are harvesting and drying food every day, and they move quickly.

"Snapped-"

Suddenly, there was the sound of water dripping on the ground.

"Crack, snap—"

The sound grew louder and louder.

It was like someone was beating a drum, coming from far and near.

Water "copper coins" also began to appear on the ground, blasting round flowers.

Wang Dalang's complexion changed: "Hurry up, hurry up, the rain is coming!"

In the end, there was one family left, and everyone went to help.

Just put the cloth on, and the dense sound of rain came in front of me.

"Wow—"

"Wow!!"

A rain flower was smashed on Xiao Ayu's forehead. She was stunned and touched it with her hand, which was wet.

Tangyuan hurriedly pulled open his sleeves to shield Xiao Ayu from the rain, but where could he stop him?

"Sister Ayu, come here quickly." Wang Wulang took off his single jacket and put it on Xiao Ayu's head to help her cover the rain.

Wang Dalang hid all the food harvesting tools in the tarpaulin, and turned to greet his younger brothers to go home quickly.

My clothes got wet, but I didn't have to change them.

If it wasn't for helping others, they should go home after harvesting their food, and they wouldn't be caught in the rain.

"Run!" After Wang Saburo shouted, he hurried forward.

The mud road that had been raining became very slippery. Wang Saburo slipped a long way and fell into the soil with a snap.

The others laughed when they saw it.

After a while, several people fell on the path, and all of them became clay dolls.

They didn't run away at all, and directly fought a mud battle in the ground.

Xiao Ayu saw it and was eager to try it.

Wang Dalang carried Xiao Ayu on his back and felt that Xiao Ayu was struggling, so he said: "Ayu don't come down, let's go home first."

Xiao Ayu: "Big brother, I want to play too, I want to play too!"

This is so much fun!

She was wearing Wang Wulang's clothes on her head, and when she looked out from under her clothes, she saw a few brothers in front of her, rolling in the mud and having fun.

Wang Wulang also wanted to play, but when he saw Xiao Ayu, he also wanted to go, and when he thought of the picture of Xiao Ayu covered in mud, it turned into the face of Ama's King of Hell.

suddenly shivered.

Tangyuan reminded in a low voice: "There is a lotus pod over there."

Wang Goro turned his head and saw a lotus pond not far away.

"Sister Ayu, let's go pick lotus seeds!"

Anyway, the clothes are wet, so it’s not bad at all.

Compared to playing with mud, Xiao Ayu is more curious about lotus pods.

Wang Dalang glared at Wang Wulang, he didn't know how to coax his sister home, and still pick her here!

Go back and pick you up.

Wang Wulang stuck his tongue out at his elder brother, made a face, turned his head and ran towards the lotus pond.

There are two large lotus ponds in Hujia Village, which were planted by Mrs. Hu. He likes to walk around the lotus ponds, and when he is in the mood, he will paint by the lotus pond with pen and ink.

On weekdays, he just doesn’t allow everyone to pick lotus flowers, but lotus leaves are optional.

When the children want to make lotus leaf rice, they will pick two flowers.

Now, there are still many lotus pods in the lotus pond, and the surrounding ones are basically taken off, and the others are gathered in the middle.

Wang Wulang rolled up his trouser legs and went down to the lotus pond, picking up a big handful.

When the other children met, they stopped playing in the mud, and all ran to the lotus pond to pick lotus pods.

This weather is just right to eat lotus pods, the lotus seeds are tender and tender, and even the lotus seeds inside are not too bitter.

If you wait a little longer, the lotus seeds will harden and the taste will be much worse.

Xiao Ayu is eating lotus pods for the first time. The soft lotus pods are peeled off, and the little guys with round chirps jump into the palm of his hand.

Peel off the skin of the lotus seeds, take out the lotus seeds inside, and eat the remaining lotus seeds into the mouth.

A fresh fragrance bloomed on the tip of the tongue.

Xiao Ayu's eyes are round again: "Sweet, delicious!"

Everyone got lotus pods, except Wang Dalang, who was carrying Xiao Ayu.

Little Ayu held her little hand forward and stretched it out to Wang Dalang: "Big brother, do you want to eat?"

Wang Dalang originally thought, hurry up and bring these babies back, the thunderstorm came and went quickly, and now it just stopped.

Hearing Xiao Ayu's soft and waxy voice, Wang Dalang said to himself again.

Forget it, sister Ayu rarely comes home now, so let her play more.

There is no such lotus pond in town for her to play.
