Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 306 Discovering Taro

The women queuing nearby couldn't stand it any longer and tried to persuade him: "This is a matter of life and death! Let's be flexible and let him buy some first!"

The sturdy man was unyielding: "Who cares whether it's easy or not? I'm in a hurry to buy it!"

At this time, the shop assistant held up a sign and shouted to the crowd: "It's noon, everyone go home! Come back after noon!"

The people in the long queue began to disperse, and everyone shook their heads dejectedly.

Crowd A said helplessly: "Alas! Whether to sell or not depends entirely on their mood!"

Crowd B also complained: "Not a single grain of rice was seen! We were forced to queue for so long!"

Everyone C echoed, "That's right! We've waited for so many hours in vain under the scorching sun!"

Seeing that he couldn't buy food, the strong man was furious and said, "It's all your fault, you old fool, for getting in the way! I'm going to beat you to death today!"

As the sturdy man spoke, he began to raise his hands, ready to hit the old man.

Seeing this, An Yue couldn't bear to watch it any longer.

She stepped forward quickly and said to the strong man, "It's wrong for him to cut in line, but if you hit him today, it would be your fault!"

The sturdy man let go of the old man's collar, looked at An Yue with contempt, and said, "Damn it! Whose family is this dead kid from? Get out of here right now! If no one else takes care of him, I don't mind helping!"

As the sturdy man said this, he walked forward and was about to attack An Yue.

At this time, Daniu and Ale stood in front of An Yue and shouted in unison: "What are you going to do!!"

The strong man saw two people coming up to him, and seeing that Daniu was even taller and stronger than him, he quickly admitted his weakness and said, "You two... I'm really sorry, I was so rude just now, so rude."

The sturdy man backed away as he spoke, and when he saw that Daniu Ale didn't pursue the matter further, he quickly ran away.

The woman standing by and watching the fun said with disdain, "Tsk! Turns out you're just a bully!"

Another woman sneered, "Oh! That's right! This guy! He can't even afford to eat, yet he still has the energy to bully others!"

When the old man saw the bullying strong man running away in disgrace, he quickly thanked An Yue and Daniu Ale: "Thank you very much, thank you very much, young people."

An Yue took out three cooked duck eggs from the small cloth bag she was carrying and handed them to the old man, saying, "Grandpa, take these three cooked duck eggs back and give them to grandma to fill her stomach first!"

The old man took the duck egg with both hands and thanked her with tears in his eyes: "Thank you very much, young lady. Thank you very much. May I know your name, young lady?"

An Yue smiled and waved her hand, saying, "No need to mention your surname An, Grandpa, you don't have to be polite. Just take it back and give it to Grandma!"

At this time, people around praised An Yue one after another.

An Yue said to everyone: "Everyone go away!"

Then she raised her hands to cover her eyes and looked at the sky. It was already noon.

An Yue smiled and said to Daniu Ale: "Thank you."

Ale and Daniu looked at each other and said embarrassedly, "Why are you being so polite to us, Miss?"

"Are you two hungry too?"

Daniu rubbed his abdomen and nodded: "Yeah, a little bit."

An Yue took out the duck eggs from the bag and said, "Then let's each eat one to fill our stomachs."

Daniu Ale took a duck egg each and said, "Well, good!"

They smiled as they broke the eggshells on their foreheads and began to peel the duck eggs.

I originally brought six duck eggs from home, intending to give each of them two eggs at noon.

As a result, three were given to the old man, and now there was only one left for each person in the cloth bag.

An Yue said as she ate the duck eggs: "After you two finish eating the duck eggs in your hands, you have to start working!"

Ale choked on the egg yolk. He patted his chest and asked, "Hmm? What do you mean, miss?"

"Let's go dig taro." An said, pointing to the river bank.

Ale confirmed with some disbelief: "No, Miss, are you really going to eat that?"

An Yue raised her eyebrows and nodded, "Well, believe me, it's a good thing."

After hearing what An Yue said, Daniu smiled and said, "Okay, I...I, Daniu, will listen to you, young lady."

After he finished speaking, he stuffed the duck egg into his mouth, picked up the shoulder pole and basket, and started walking towards the river bank, with Ale following closely behind him.

"If you two just go there like this, how can you start digging without a hoe or a sickle?" An Yue reminded them loudly with a smile.

Daniu smiled awkwardly and turned around: "Hehe, what Xiaoxiao said is right! I, Daniu, am just a stubborn person."

"Let's find a nearby blacksmith shop and buy a hoe and a sickle. We'll need them at home in the future anyway." As An Yue said this, Daniu and A'le turned around and went back.

"Daniu, you sit here and watch over the wooden boxes and baskets. We will be back soon." An Yue said, and she and A'er walked towards the nearby blacksmith shop.

The big cow held taro leaves on his head and fanned them with his hands, sitting alone under a big tree by the river, waiting.

——A quarter of an hour passed.

An Yue and A'er bought a sickle and a hoe.

An Yue thought that she had to leave someone to watch over the big wooden box, and she couldn't help much if she went down, so she asked the two of them to dig taro.

Da Niu picked up the hoe and A'er took the sickle, and the two of them slowly walked down the stone steps.

When they reached the river bank, they started digging. Da Niu was in charge of digging, while Ale was in charge of cleaning the dirt off the taro.

"Ale, you can take the taro leaves and taro stalks home to feed the pigs." An Yue said while standing on top.

"Okay, miss."

From a distance, I could see the taro they dug out, and they were all quite big.

In a short while, they dug up a large pile of taro.

Daniu said to An Yue, "Miss, look at how much taro we have dug!"

After saying that, he and A'er picked up the taro on the ground and put them into baskets, then carried them to the river in several batches and poured them into wooden boxes.

Ale looked at the dark black taro he had dug out and couldn't help but ask, "I wonder if this taro tastes good!"

An Yue said, "Don't worry, it's guaranteed to be delicious."

Da Niu and A'er carried baskets full of taro and transported them up the mountain one trip at a time.

Soon, the wooden box was full.

At this time, it was already Wei time.

Long queues began to form in front of Lin’s Rice Shop again, and they continued to sell rice.

An Yue looked at the taro in the big wooden box in front of her and naturally didn't plan to queue up to buy food.

Afterwards, Da Niu and A'er carried the wooden boxes, Anyue carried two baskets, and the three of them went to the rest station to take a mule cart.

The three of them waited for a long time at the rest station, and finally a mule cart came that was willing to go to Shijing Town.

An Yue asked the driver: "Uncle, when are we leaving?"

The driver pointed at the mules and said modestly, "Girl, we have to wait for the two mules to drink some water and eat some food before we set off."
