Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious
Chapter 185 Road collapse, delaying construction
"This is called tomato. I've read in a book that it's best eaten in cooking, especially with eggs."
Qiao Zhizhi: "Are we going to take all these seedlings back?"
"Well, bring them back and plant them in the yard so we can have tomatoes to eat from time to time."
As Qiao Jianer spoke, he started to dig out the tomato seedlings again.
Xiao Meng and Zhizhi also worked diligently.
These tomato seedlings had just been buried, so they were easy to get out. While the two were digging the tomato seedlings, Qiao Jianer replenished the strawberries that he had eaten less.
After the digging was done, everyone carried a little and prepared to go home.
"Although I didn't find any mushrooms, finding so many delicious foods is better than finding any mushrooms." Qiao Zhizhi smiled happily.
"But Jian'er, where does this thing called strawberry you mentioned grow? Why didn't I see any seedlings just now?" Xiao Meng asked in confusion.
"This is growing on those vines. I had already picked them when you came over." Qiao Jianer coughed and touched her chin. She didn't reveal any flaws.
The reason why Xiao Meng and Zhi Zhi were called was because they were the youngest.
In short, it's easy to cheat.
"Great! When the fruit grows again, we can come back and pick them." Xiao Meng said with anticipation, "That place is well hidden and not easily discovered. It will be ours from now on."
Qiao Zhizhi stared at the basket in Qiao Jianer's hand. Even though her stomach was full, she couldn't help but reach out her hand.
Every bite is filled with sweet juice, which makes people sigh that there are such delicious fruits in the world.
When they returned home, the other members of the Qiao family had also returned. They found a pound of chanterelles, three ounces of puffballs, and two green mushrooms, but nothing else.
Everyone remembers that a lot of mushrooms grew after the rainy season last year. It seems that it was a memory error. Firstly, a lot of mushrooms did grow after the rainy season, but not more than the first time. Secondly, with so many people going up the mountain, there were not enough mushrooms to distribute.
When they saw the three children carrying something red into the yard, everyone opened their eyes wide to look.
"Everyone, come and try some! This is the fruit that Jianer found on the mountain. It's tastier than wild apples, wild pears, and wild peaches."
"Is it really edible? It's a bit scary red."
In the past, seeing so many things that looked red like blood, everyone would be scared and would ask the children to throw them away quickly.
But after seeing so many new things with Qiao Jianer and going through the mushroom test, everyone has become accustomed to it.
"Why can't we eat it? We were full in the mountains and nothing happened. Besides, I've read about these in books. This one is called strawberry and is eaten as fruit. This one is called tomato and is used for cooking. It's best to stir-fry it with eggs." said Qiao Lianer.
When everyone heard that it was recorded in the book, they let down their guard and picked up the strawberries to eat.
As soon as they took a bite, everyone's eyes widened.
What kind of magical fruit is this? It’s so delicious. My mouth is full of sweet and sour juice, and it has a unique fragrance.
Everyone couldn't help but one after another.
In a short while, only half of the big basket of strawberries was left.
Everyone subconsciously stopped and thought, after finishing this meal, what if there is no next meal?
Qiao Jianer was in the kitchen making scrambled eggs with tomatoes. She poked her head out and said to everyone, "I know where this fruit grows and what its habits are. If I go up the mountain every now and then, I should be able to find it."
After hearing what she said, everyone stopped hesitating, and soon the other half was also swept away.
That feeling of satisfaction fills the stomach and mouth, making me feel as happy as a god.
I originally thought that after eating so many strawberries, I wouldn’t be able to eat lunch.
But when the scrambled eggs with tomatoes were served on the table, they were smooth, tender and fragrant, and the texture of the rice was so delicious that it was indescribable. It made people almost swallow their tongues, and everyone couldn't help but drink two bowls of rice.
Qiao Lianer thought that scrambled eggs with tomatoes was a classic dish, and this recipe could be sold, and the tomatoes in her space could also be sold.
Well, I’ll arrange it when we get to the county town.
After dinner, everyone planted tomato seedlings in the yard.
There is a small piece of land next to the south wall that is specially designated for growing something, and now it is used to grow tomatoes.
A support was also built to ensure that the tomato seedlings would not be crushed by the heavy fruits.
Now most of the fruits on the seedlings are red, and the other half are green. I am a little worried that I won’t be able to eat them all.
After finishing all this, Qiao Laoda said, "Tomorrow we can go to the county town to set up a stall and do business again."
"No, no, you can't go. Don't go." A villager passed by the door and waved his hand.
"Why can't you go?" Dayong was thinking about Ling Yin in his heart, and he was a little confused when he heard it.
I don’t know what the situation is like in Lingjia Village these days. With a heavy rain like this, some people will be struck by lightning, some people’s houses will collapse, and some people will be drowned.
Although he knew that nothing would happen, he would not be completely relieved until he saw a living person with his own eyes.
"We can't go. The road to Yongguan County is completely blocked. There are many landslides, which completely block the road. It's impossible for a carriage to pass through."
The uncle stopped at the door and said.
"There are still some places that are at risk of collapse, so even if you walk on them, you have to be careful."
"You should wait for a while. It won't be too late to do business after the government clears the road."
The Qiao family looked at each other.
Only then did they remember that in previous years, when there were heavy rainstorms, the roads would always be blocked. However, at that time they had not yet set up snack stalls in the county town and did not travel that far, so they did not feel this strongly.
Now the road is blocked and we can’t go to the county town. Business will be delayed and everyone feels extremely depressed.
"In previous years, when the roads were blocked, it would take about ten days or even half a month to clear them." Old man Qiao puffed on his pipe.
"Everyone can only wait at home."
Qiao Laoer suddenly thought of something and quickly asked Qiao Jianer, "Jianer, when will the materials for building the house be delivered, and when will the construction team arrive?"
"The time we agreed on was 20 days at the earliest and a month at the latest. Now it's raining and it's already taken half a month. I just hope the road can be dug through in the remaining half a month."
Qiao Jian'er was also worried. If the deadline was exceeded, she would have to pay the material factory a penalty for breach of contract and the construction team a penalty for lost work time.
She had only been in this place for over a month and had never imagined that the road would collapse after the heavy rain.
The Qiao family had not thought of this either, because they used to go mainly to the town, and the road to the town was lined with solid rocky mountains, so there was no danger of landslides after a heavy rain, so no one anticipated the situation on the road to Yongguan County in advance.
Looking at Qiao Jianer's expression, everyone knew that something was wrong and they might have to pay compensation, and they felt annoyed.
But what Qiao Jianer was worried about was not just the issue of losing money, but what would happen if those people came when the crops could be harvested and the road was open in half a month?
At that time, we had just started building the house and the materials had not been used up yet. What if I asked her to return them and exchange them for cash?
"Brother Dayong, Brother Dacheng, Brother Dameng, let's go check the road conditions together."
