Vegetable Sale Part 2

We got a call this morning at 8:00 from Fujita-san asking if we wanted to bring the kids over and play, they were planning on having a vegetable sale in front of their house. No other plans today so why not, we quickly ate breakfast and got the kids ready and rode the bikes over to her house. When we got there, Yasuko and I started making signs to line up along the road, Fujita-san already had one sign, but we felt it wasn't enough so we made more

The kids were playing in the irrigation ditches and riding bikes while the adults sat around and talked, all day we had about 5-6 customers and sold most of the items that they had. The good thing about Fujita's house, you don't even need vegetables at the stand, you can just ask customers what they want, and then they can go in the back to their greenhouse and pick it right then, can't get any fresher than that, and they are organic.

I stayed over there for about half the day, and we all ate a lunch of rice balls and you guessed it vegetables, Fujita-sans mom grilled young bamboo shoots that her husband had collected on Asahidake, delicious. I needed to plant carrots and daikon so I came home, and worked in the garden. Ueo-san was planning a cookout of Yakisoba and asked me if I would like to join, I told him I think that we already had plans with Sumi-san that night.

While I was working he poured me a beer and said come on Charlie break time, well needless to say that break lasted until 9:30 that night with a lot of good sake (rice wine) being drank, he also smoked some fish which was awesome. Yasuko and the kids ate at Sumi-san and I never got to go.

When I got back home the kids were finishing up baths, and I worked on the Internet for about an hour before going to bed.
