Chapter 21
21. Planting peaches
When they returned to the city lord's mansion, Shang San Cao Si went to the kitchen to help, and they wanted to have a meal earlier so that they could pick peaches outside the city.
I also want to go, one is to relax, and the other is to burn incense and fulfill my wish in the land temple. Chen Mei'er dared not be too far away from her grandmother, so she volunteered to stay and clean up.
When I walked out on Beitong Street, I praised the two men holding bamboo baskets: "That little girl looks delicate and does things very well. Not to mention the kitchen work, she made the skirt with me. She just took a few days to close the sides. The patterns are so beautiful. It's the first time I see such a coincidental needlework!"
Mrs. Shang Saner got along well with the little lady of the immortals. Cao Si knew that Mrs. Shang had been pampering the soles of the shoe these days, just to give the little lady the shoes to make shoes, which was considered a gift for the ru skirt.
There was a difference between immortals and mortals. Cao Si had no imagination about the fairy lady and joked: "Miss Shang, I really think it's good, so I said to be a wife for the third child!"
When I glanced at my son, my mother shook her head lightly.
Cao Si did not let it go: "He is now the city lord and deserves to be a human immortal!"
Aunt Shang sighed: "It's not a fairy earthly fairy. This city is really dangerous. I also want to find a wife for him earlier. I can really add a man and a half woman. Maybe I will take my grandchildren to move to another city. I'm too lazy to be worried here! But little girl Chen is not good at being a weak person. How can she suppress this demon king? And seeing that she has a bad body, she is not easy to raise. I gave birth to three, and I only support one who is not good at being a good person. She is the only seed of an old businessman. She doesn't look like a child. She should not be a daughter-in-law!"
Shang Saner's mother became a mortal queen, and she was not interested in all the other Taoist techniques her son said. She only chose a "numerology" that Shang Saner looked down upon. She was a little pure, but she was actually suitable for practicing. She was not as greedy as Shang Saner. She had only been greedy for more than ten days and had gained a little.
Cao Si didn't know this and laughed loudly: "The human beings have all kinds of skills, but can't they have children?"
Shang Saner was very sure that she had grandchildren who moved to another city to live in. My mother coaxed Cao Si, but she was afraid that she would be anxious about the marriage and could not see anyone in the city. She had a lot of children and decided to marry her. After all, she used to be stupid and didn't pick on her son, and she didn't dare to mention that child-loving date.
He interrupted with a smile: "I also met a god, how can I get married? The little girl has no fat all over her body and is only at the sixth level of cultivation. She is still a girl who serves tea and water to warm up the bed. How can she be the wife?"
Hearing his tone, Cao Si laughed disdainfully, and his mother glared and scolded: "There is a knife hanging on her head, and there are no figures in the city. I really think that my family is a wealthy Zhou family. Can you keep a house with a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine? But you are so beautiful!"
When my mother scolded, Shang Saner just laughed and listened, afraid that she would be beaten and not speak anymore.
But Cao Si shouted: "Don't say that the city lord's mansion wants to raise a house of women, my Cao's house shouldn't be idle!"
When my mother was not attentive, Cao Si strangled Shang San'er's neck and whispered in a slutty voice: "Miss Shang thought that Mrs. Chen was not easy to give birth to, because she was afraid that she could not breastfeed the baby!"
He refers to Mrs. Chen, who is thin and has small breasts.
Shang Saner stared at him and looked at him hard.
Cao Si for no reason, touched his face and asked in surprise: "Is there any flowers?"
Shang Saner grinned: "I see your teeth are so strong!"
It wasn't that Shang Saner was talking nonsense. Behind them, there was a small embroidery needle following them, until the three of them turned into Xizheng Street and flew away.
I accompanied my mother to go to the Land Temple to burn incense, and then came out to find the peach trees that were already unparalleled.
Those peaches look yellow and red, and they are just ripe, and they are still hard when pinched, but they can be eaten.
In fact, Shang Saner only needs peach pits, whether it is good or bad, climbing the tree and picking them randomly. My mother and Cao Si pick the best picks. After tasting them, they will have to be sweet and wormless.
Not to mention the entire city, the City Lord's Mansion is not even green at all. Other fruits, such as plums, apricots, pears, dates, persimmons, and Shang Saner also want to move some into the City Lord's Mansion. However, these trees do not grow fast, and they cannot be planted again. Without the means of immortals, it is not suitable for transplanting in this season. It is best to wait until all the leaves of the trees fall into their early winter and survive after transplanting.
I picked off the two big frames of peaches, and because it was getting late, I threw them all to the old dog for carrying them.
The two frames of peaches did not shrink and were stable on the dog's back. Cao Si realized it later: "It can carry peaches, why can't it carry water? You still told me to get up early when you see the sky!"
Shang Saner smiled: "Brother, get up early and walk around, your body is more alive. It is not a reason to rely on the old dog in everything!"
Cao Si can't do anything to him.
Back at Beitong Street, Cao Si took away a basket and entered the city lord's mansion. My mother asked Shang Saner to pick up some and deliver them to the Chen family's grandchildren.
I had arguing once today and won a little victory. Shang Saner stopped stumbling to the dead old woman on the bed. Tao handed it to Chen Xiaoniang and turned around and left.
Go back to the city lord's mansion and find a skin bag from the secret library, asking the old dog to release the five secret shrimps I caught today, pack them and put them in the secret library.
That leather bag is specially used by Renxian to store Youbi shrimps, Shang Saner had seen it before.
I went back to the house and talked to my mother for a while. I picked up a few peaches to eat. Shang Saner picked up the wine cup, poured the "rotten wine" and continued to suffer.
If you drink five cents of wine, you can have a dreamless sleep with a little drunkenness.
I woke up at dawn, first cut a small piece of dog meat and went to the Miku to feed the five-section shrimp, and then came back to wash.
In fact, the Youbi shrimp is under the sinkhole passage, and it is unknown how long it takes to get some meat. It can survive if you don’t know what you eat on weekdays. How can you starve to death in a short period of time? But in Shang Saner's eyes, it is just a pile of merit bamboo leaves, and you dare not be careless.
After washing up, I slowly walked out of the city with a bucket.
The surrounding cities must have known about the disaster in Green Willow City. The ghost grandma waited for those who needed to come and plant trees, and the caravans that often came and went changed their routes. When picking up the water, he stood on the hill and looked in three directions north and south, and there were no people on the avenue.
Liujie Mountain is in the east of the city, and the caravans who have traveled in the past are also taboos. When passing by, they would rather walk more roads, walk around the avenues in the north and south directions, and then enter the city from the west gate.
It can be seen that some taboos make sense, what if they really hit it?
He returned to the cross and called Cao Si to replace him in the second half. He was in Cao's house and picked up all the peach pits that Cao Si had eaten last night.
After taking some farm tools, I started planting peach pits from outside the gate of the city lord's mansion along Beitong Street to the south, and prepared a gate to bury one on each side of the left and right sides.
When he planted at the door of the concierge, Chen Mei'er came out and asked him, "What are you doing?"
Shang Saner was prying up the bluestone slab with a shovel, and it was easier to dig a hole on the mud below. Without raising her head, she asked, "Didn't you see it? Plant peaches!"
The little girl was timid: "Don't you go fishing for shrimp today?"
When the fight happened yesterday, the dead old woman must have told her that she wanted to ask the little lady to go to her place to complain, and that she would be hammered. Shang Saner was even more angry: "Today I only plant peaches, not shrimp!"
The little girl was silent for a while and said, "I will help you plant it!"
She was willing to help, so Shang Saner certainly had no objection.
While busy, Cao Sixun came after picking up the water. When he saw them growing peaches on the street, he was also interested and helped.
However, the two streets were covered with bluestone slabs. They had to pry up and move them away first to dig the pits. The bluestone slabs were really not light, and the soil below was hard, which was useless. Cao Si helped to move the stone slab twice and dig a pit, but he was unwilling to do his best and just watched.
The drainage ditch is in the middle of the street and is connected to various ditches. Shang Saner's peaches are only planted on the street. They grow up later and cannot be affected.
Cao Si was depressed and planted in Nantong Street. He was covered with bluestone slabs and digging and filling soil pits. Shang Saner was like the young lady of the immortal, with no sweat on her body.
Before planting it in the Chenghuang Temple, the peach pits were gone first. Shang Saner asked her to go back to the house for lunch, and then ate more peaches and continued planting in the afternoon.
On this day, only peaches were planted, and Shang Saner stopped.
The next morning, Shang Saner called him to carry water again. Cao Si looked around at the cross and was pried up to move to the street. All the bluestone slabs were disappeared.
When the water was pulled into the city lord's mansion, Cao Si searched for Shang Saner and complained: "You are such a conscience, so you are coaxing your brother to play?"
Shang Saner felt strange and asked him: "What's the matter?"
Cao Si hummed: "Where has the bluestone slab been hidden overnight? He said he hadn't learned the immortal method?"
He made Shang Saner laugh: "I asked the old dog to drag it to the public warehouse. What does it have to do with me?"
Everything was pushed to the old dog, Cao Si couldn't believe it, and asked, "Where is the dog?"
Shang Saner answered truthfully: "A uncle slaughter wants to move to the city, and the whole family comes. After that, the butcher and pigs are all raised. The road is not peaceful. I asked the old dog to pick him up. I just left!"
"Is there really someone who dares to live in Green Willow City? Is he also a human immortal?"
"Yeah, they are only third and fourth levels, and they are not worth much. They are punished and the county magistrate has been demoted to defend the city!"
Cao Si left, and Chen Xiaoniangpi came again and asked him, "Are you fishing for shrimp today?"
Shang Saner shook her head and replied, "If the dog is not here, how dare I go to Liujie Mountain? Don't say that a demon can't escape if it collapses, and it's not good to get dyed with demon smoke!"
Chen Xiaoniangpi also asked: "Where is the old dog?"
Shang Saner answered as it was. Chen Xiaoniangpi had the same expression as Cao Si when she left, and she felt lost.
The old dog was not here and felt insecure. On this day, Shang Saner did nothing and just helped me prepare meals and pack up the cyclamen.
Unexpectedly, at noon, the City God's voice sounded again: "There is a stranger entering the city from the West Gate!"
If Tu Zhuang's family came and had an old dog accompany him, the City God would not say that. Shang Saner was startled and asked, "City God, how many?"
"Two!"
There are only two people, and they won't be a caravan.
It's so hard for the dog to be gone!
As the city lord, there was no one in the city who could expect. No matter how uneasy Shang Saner was, she had to go and ask in person.
The two people who were blocked from Xizheng Street were a middle-aged couple holding hands, who were more timid than Shang Saner. When they met each other, the two of them shrank back together.
But in this world where the roads of traveling and traveling are unstable, only two of them can walk to the Green Willow City, which has just been subjected to the devil's disaster. How dare Shang Saner underestimate it?
"Why are you two going to my Green Willow City?"
The woman was a bit pretty, shrank her head and didn't say anything, and the man replied: "Look for someone!"
Shang Saner didn't believe it: "There are not two grasshoppers in the city now, so where is there anyone?"
The man said, "My boudoir, my daughter, please report to God to send a message, saying that she is in this city!"
Shang Saner looked at the couple again and again. Fortunately, Chen Mei'er looked a little like her mother, so she was thin and she would not look ugly.
In order to seek insurance, Shang Saner asked: "What is your daughter's name?"
"Mei'er, Chen. Chen Mei'er!"
