"This rain is not good."

When Tang Qiyue came back to her senses, she saw the tall and straight man standing sideways. She paused and said, "Why is it bad?"

"The snow hasn't melted yet, and the rain has come again. It's still a long way from real winter, so how can it be wonderful?"

Not far away, the refugees saw the snow stop running out and kneeling on the ground crying.

The snow finally stopped and they could go down the mountain and settle down.

Tang Qiyue reluctantly looked away, "What do you think of Baile Village?"

"It's not bad, it's close to the mountains and the water." Xie Changjin looked down the mountain and could vaguely see many villagers busy at work. He could also see the pile of newly built graves, which were chilly.

"Even you say yes." Tang Qiyue was a little surprised. This person usually doesn't show off, but he always sees the point when he looks at things.

Xie Changjin tilted his head and looked at Tang Qiyue. After a long while, he said, "I don't like to guess people's thoughts and ideas. Sometimes I just plan ahead."

After saying that, he walked away.

Tang Qiyue stared at his back and bit her lower lip. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Zhao Bao looking for his mother in the room, so she hurried in.

The snow has stopped, and the happiest people are not only the refugees, but also the common people. This year's harvest was not good, and this snowfall almost resulted in nothing. Now, while the snow is melting and the weather is gradually getting better, they can plant a batch of winter wheat, so they don't have to worry about having a harvest next year.

However, the thick snow had not melted until the end of October, the weeds in the field were covered with snow, and the rain continued to fall for a whole month.

It seems that winter wheat cannot be planted this year.

Without food to eat, the people could only wear straw raincoats and go into the mountains to hunt and dig wild vegetables. They were also afraid of being eaten by wild beasts, so they went out to hunt from village to village.

For several days, Tang Qiyue could see many villagers coming up the mountain, digging and picking up things everywhere. When they saw the wooden house they built, they just stopped for a while, observed it, and then left.

Skilled hunters can more or less hunt lone rabbits and pheasants when they go into the mountains, but most people can only dig up edible wild vegetables to fill their stomachs.

I wish I could use three coins for one.

...

"My girl, will it really be possible to eat these strawberries and vegetables soon?" Since the greenhouse was built, Tang Laosan has been shoveling snow from the greenhouse every day and patiently observing the growth of strawberries and vegetables.

I found that they were growing better and better. The strawberries were getting bigger and redder, and the vegetables were also ripening. I was so happy.

Tang Laosan has worked in the fields all his life, and there is nothing that makes him happier than seeing the things he has planted himself mature.

Hearing the inquiry, Tang Qiyue thought for a moment and went into the greenhouse to take a closer look at the growth. She nodded and said, "It will be ready to eat in a few days. Then everyone can come in and pick them together."

After the first batch is grown and picked, the second batch can be picked in a few days. This winter, they can continue to eat strawberries and vegetables, as well as the peppers that Tang Qiuyue has been longing for.

"Okay! Dad will spend two more days to clean it up carefully." Tang Lao San chuckled.

Three days later, except for the four children and Granny Mo who was looking after the baby, everyone including Xie Changjin went into the greenhouse to help with picking.

The woman was picking strawberries carefully while the man was picking vegetables.

An hour later, 100 kilograms of strawberries, 200 kilograms of vegetables and 50 kilograms of peppers were piled in the wooden house.

Looking at such a huge harvest, the group was overjoyed.

These are all silver.

Tang Qiyue clapped her hands, "Send the vegetables to the town to sell tomorrow morning. If we don't go to the restaurant, we can set up a stall on the street. The price should not be too high. Vegetables are in short supply right now, and we can't make money from this hardship. Just 30 cents per pound."

"As for the strawberries, they can still be stored. Let me go to town and take a look."

As soon as Qingcai is released, Tang Qiyue basically does not need to promote it. She believes that all the big restaurants and small taverns in the town will rush to buy it.

But it is not necessarily the case with strawberries. Firstly, most people do not have much savings, so if they can go to a restaurant to eat meat, they will definitely eat meat. Only wealthy families will buy some fruits to sweeten their mouths.

The strawberries she grew were so rare and precious that she couldn't sell them on the street, so Tang Qiyue's target was naturally the wealthy families in the town, or the dignitaries in the county.

It takes about a day's walk to get from Linjiang Town to Linjiang County, or about three hours by donkey cart. But it would take a long time to get to the capital.

Tang Qiyue still remembered the journey that Manager Fang had told her about, and decided that Strawberry should first make a name for herself in the county town and then move step by step towards the capital.

Of course, she hopes that one day everyone can afford to eat fresh fruits, like in her previous life.

"We'll do whatever you say." The group looked at Tang Qiyue expectantly.

Tang Qiyue pursed her lips, "Then let Brother Hu and Lin San go to the town to sell vegetables. Let me teach you about strawberry. Dad, you, Xu Fang and Brother, remember to weed."

"We understand."

Who would have thought that the next day, when Tang Qiyue was preparing to go down the mountain with ten kilograms of strawberries on her back, a man followed her. She looked at Xie Changjin's calm expression and asked in confusion, "Are you going to sell strawberries with me?"

Can this guy do it? His cold face must have scared many people.

Xie Changjin nodded, "I'll go with you."

Tang Qiyue opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she only said, "Forget it, just follow me."

Anyway, this guy's mouth is like a sawed gourd and he can't utter a word for a long time, so it's okay to take him along.

So the group of four went down the mountain and separated when they reached Linjiang Town.

Tang Qiyue walked forward with her head down, followed by Xie Changjin. After walking for about half an hour, they arrived in front of a house with carved beams and painted rafters.

Xie Changjin stared at the word "Huafu" on the plaque, his eyes flashing, but he didn't say a word.

That's right, ever since Tang Qiyue started growing strawberries, she had wanted to come to Huafu to discuss business. Although they had some unpleasantness before because of the charcoal issue, Huafu was the richest city in Linjiang Town.

I heard that the Huafu in Linjiang Town is just a branch, and the real base is actually in the capital.

Whether it’s true or not, Tang Qiyue doesn’t care much. The most important thing for her now is to use strawberries to expand her sales.

"What are you doing? Not everyone can enter Washington DC." The gatekeeper looked at the unfamiliar Tang Qiyue and quickly ran over to stop her.

Tang Qiyue was just about to introduce Manager Hua's name when she heard a very familiar voice behind her, "What are you doing here?"

On this side, Boss Hu and Lin San pushed a hundred kilograms of vegetables to a crowded place. Without saying a word, they lifted the coarse cloth on the cart, revealing the juicy green vegetables.

Lin San yelled at the top of his voice, "Look, look, fresh and delicious vegetables, only thirty cents a pound."

This amount of vegetables, which was as much as a pound of pork, made many people stop and walk towards the place where Lin San was shouting.

Before I got close, I was attracted by the lush green vegetables. I was so shocked that I couldn't walk anymore.

"Am I seeing right? This is green vegetables? Why is it so fresh?"

"Oh my god! There are actually vegetables in such a cold weather! How do they grow them? I've never seen anything like this before!"

"My mother-in-law also wanted to grow some vegetables for winter, but she died every time she planted them. How did she plant them?"

"Thirty cents a pound? Can it catch up with pork? Why is it so expensive?"

There were all kinds of chirping sounds.

Boss Hu and Lin San did not say anything. They let these people speak first and then spoke after they finished.
