Chapter 55: Fried Meatballs

When he woke up the next morning, Xin Andong opened his eyes wrapped in the quilt, only to feel that he couldn't breathe, and he thought in a daze that he seemed to have a cold last night, and finally slept in his mother's warm arms at Brother Aihua's house. Wow, he knocked his head painfully, and after glancing at the empty bowl placed at the head of the bed, he remembered that he seemed to have been fed ginger soup by his mother and slept to death after returning home.

He got dressed and got out of bed, put on socks, old cotton shoes, and a down jacket, and walked out of the room, just in time to see his grandmother feeding the chickens with a pot of wild vegetables, and he shouted, "Milk." ”

Mrs. Xin turned her head, immediately dropped the chicken basin, and said anxiously, "What can I do if I have a fever, hurry back to the bed and lie down, and bring the porridge bowl to the bed to feed you!"

When he was a three-year-old child, he still had to be fed, Xin Andong Khan, and hurriedly said, "I don't need milk, I'm up all the time, and I touch my forehead It's not hot anymore, it's just that my nose is not working, it's okay, it'll be fine after a while." ”

To say that in his previous life, Xin Andong's body was very good, and it was very unusual to catch a cold at most once a year, but when he came here, he could already be very calm about such a trivial matter as a cold, anyway, this body was only slightly better than the weak Sister Lin, and it was normal to have a headache and brain fever at every turn.

Anyway, it'll be fine in a week, but it's a big deal to talk with a little nasal tone these days, breathe through your mouth when you sleep, and endure it quickly.

"Milk, did my mom go back to the county last night or this morning?" he asked.

Grandma Xin saw that her grandson refused to go back to bed and lay down, so she had to follow him, and ran to feed the poor chickens, and said, "She, said that the store can't leave people, she went back last night, asked Second Uncle Jiang to help send them away, and the lobsters were also taken away, don't worry, your mother said that it is definitely enough, tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, the lobster restaurant will be closed, anyway, there is only one day, it should be able to survive." ”

"That's good, I slept at Brother Aihua's house yesterday, so I don't know when I came back. Xin Andong was very annoyed, obviously following his parents to go out to run errands, who knew that he would lose the chain halfway, that is, his father, otherwise he would lose his face.

Since there is enough lobster, there is nothing to do, and now there is one thing in front of him that he needs to hurry up and do, looking at the rows of sausages hanging in the yard, Xin Andong said to Mrs. Xin, "Milk, I have to go to the city later, I am going to sell all these sausages except for keeping a little at home and eating them all for myself, the time is more urgent, and the step of air drying will be saved, otherwise there will be fewer people who should buy it after the New Year." ”

As long as there is a little money in hand during the New Year, everyone is not stingy to spend it, and it is difficult to say after the New Year, taking advantage of this heat, Xin Andong said that he could not let go of a good opportunity to make money.

"It looks like it's still fresh meat, can anyone buy it?" It will take a while to buy it before it becomes a sausage, and Grandma Xin is not confident that someone will buy this kind of meat that can't be eaten.

Xin Andong is quite confident, "Someone must buy it, this batch of sausages just needs to be bought and dried at home for a period of time, it doesn't matter." ”

Maybe people saw that the newly filled sausages were not air-dried, and there were many people who bought them, he couldn't help but think.

"Okay, wear more clothes when you go out, you haven't got a fever yet, let's have breakfast, my milk boiled you two eggs today, and corn porridge, you must love it." "Mrs. Xin will not stop her grandson from making money, and when she heard him say that she was going to the city again, she hurriedly wanted to feed her grandson, otherwise she would be hungry when she went out.

"Well, I love to eat, and my milk really understands me best. Xin Andong was indeed hungry, so he immediately went to wash up and have breakfast.

After breakfast, Xin Andong went to Jiang's house to find Jiang Dahe, the two of them are old partners with previous experience, and it just so happens that Wang Xiangmei is also at home, when Xin Andong passed, Jiang Dahe was begging for fried meatballs around his mother.

Fried meatballs are to get some during the Chinese New Year, although the Jiang family has a little money, but after all, they are not particularly rich, and it is impossible to eat meat every day, it is rare to seize the opportunity, Jiang Dahe followed Wang Xiangmei every inch to ask for meatballs.

He was quite happy when he saw Xin Andong, and enthusiastically handed him a meatball, "Eat it!" The fried meatballs made by my mother are delicious, and I can only eat them once a year during the Chinese New Year. ”

Xin Andong was very enthusiastic, took the black meatballs and ate them in his mouth, not to mention, he didn't look good, the taste was really good, he nodded and said, "It's delicious, my aunt's craftsmanship is really good." At the same time, he took out an egg from his pocket and gave it to Jiang Dahe, "My boiled egg, give you one." ”

"That's it, my mother's cooking is delicious, it's not worse than you!" Jiang Dahe licked the finger that took the meatball, and said proudly, when he saw the egg, his eyes lit up, and he took it and said, "It's still Dongzi thinking about me!"

Wang Xiangmei was overjoyed by her son's praise, but when she saw him swallowing eggs and the starving ghost reincarnated, she had a pain in her eyes, and glared at Jiang Dahe, but she was very satisfied with the kindness of the Xin family boy to her son, and said modestly, " This kid, how can I compare with Dongzi, Dongzi's spicy crayfish is famous in the county, and there are several red-eyed companies in our village who want to sell spicy crayfish, but the taste can't be compared with Dongzi's family at all, I heard that the recipe for spicy crayfish is still Dongzi's idea, your mother and I don't have the ability to make a lot of money!"

Wang Xiangmei said this, it was definitely not sour, she really felt that the Xin family kid was amazing, and her eyes when she looked at Xin Andong were full of appreciation.

The Xin family opened a shop in the county with a spicy crayfish recipe, and it was rumored that the village had made a lot of money, but she didn't have that ability, and she couldn't believe it when she heard this rumor before, but during this time, the son followed the young son of the Xin family to sell sausages, and they were sold to the city, and I heard my son say that a lot of people chased after them, and they also tasted the sausage that the son got at home, and they felt that they had never eaten such a delicious sausage, and the taste was simply amazing, and I really couldn't imagine that it was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy who came up with it.

Xin Andong is not very good at dealing with aunts like Wang Xiangmei, and maintains a consistent modest style, saying, "I just love to eat, I just think about it in my head, I may be better at spicy crayfish than my aunt, but you must be too much stronger than other vegetable aunts, so don't make fun of me." ”

He is just gluttonous, and people who like to eat generally have no bad skills, just like housewives who cook at home every day, cooking every day, no matter how bad the skills can be practiced.

Women love to be patted on the back, especially Xin Andong praised her for her good craftsmanship, and Wang Xiangmei, who is indeed good at craftsmanship, was very happy, and spoke a little more sincerely, "Haha, my aunt has been at home for many years in addition to cooking with children, which of the women in the countryside can't cook two dishes, what your Uncle Jiang said is right, you can make a dish so famous, your Xin family is the only one in our village!"

Boasting is like playing a ball, and it's quite boring, Xin Andong smiled and said, "Auntie, I asked Dahe for help, I want him to go to the city with me, and Uncle Jiang's ox cart, can you rent it again?"

Jiang Dahe was bored, and Dongzi was naturally very happy to ask him to go to the city, "Dongzi, are you going to the city to sell sausages again?"

Wang Xiangmei didn't stop it, and said briskly, "What's this, his second uncle went out to play, and the ox cart is at home, you have to use it to lead it," she scooped up the crackling meatballs in the oil pot, and put another pot into the pot, and said to Xin Andong while looking at the pot, "Dahe can still increase his knowledge when he goes to the city with you, so that this unlucky child can play sand cannon with those children in the village!"

He used to be naughty and love to fight, he rarely fought when he went to junior high school, and he became cleaner, and he didn't roll on the ground to play guerrilla warfare games, but he still loved the crackling sand cannon deeply, and half of the twenty yuan Xin Andong gave him last time had been spent, and all of them were bought sand cannons!

If the remaining ten yuan hadn't been confiscated directly by Wang Xiangmei when they found out the suspicions, the family really didn't know that the Xin family kid gave his son twenty yuan generously.

"Then thank you, auntie, please tell the second uncle," Xin Andong smiled reassuringly, he was really too busy to be alone without Jiang Dahe, after speaking, he immediately greeted Jiang Dahe, "Dahe, let's go." ”

"Okay," Jiang Dahe responded, turned his head and took a few meatballs on the sea bowl with his hand, and waved his hand at Wang Xiangmei casually, "Mom, I'm leaving!"

Eat, eat, eat, know to eat!

Wang Xiangmei had a black line on her forehead, and shouted behind the two people who walked out of the door uneasily, "The city is not as good as the county seat, you have to be careful if you go once, Dongzi, you help your aunt take care of the big river more, I don't worry about his recklessness." "Don't look at the thin and weak son of the Xin family, she just feels that she is more reliable than her own stupid son.

"Don't worry, auntie, I'll take care of Dahe. Xin Andong said obediently.

Jiang Dahe pursed his lips unhappily, "Hey, I'm older than you, I should take care of you!"

Your mother obviously knows that you are the baby who needs to be protected, Xin Andong shrugged, and didn't say this sentence directly in order not to hurt Jiang Dahe's self-esteem.

With the experience of selling sausages in the city last time, this time the two of them are familiar with it, and they are also changing to drive ox carts, on the way Xin Andong bought ten baked cakes to pad Jiang Dahe's hunger, Jiang Dahe did not complain, and the two quickly pulled a sausage cart to Wanran City.

Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, so the market in Wanran City is obviously more lively than the last time they came, with endless shouts and crowds, and many people are shopping, almost to the point of crowding. They originally wanted to go to the stall last time to sell sausages, but apparently the two of them were not very lucky, and the inconspicuous stall was also occupied.

The uncle who sells fruit has been there like a screw, seeing that the two of them also greeted each other cordially, his eyes glanced at the white plastic skin behind the ox cart, his nose moved, his eyes immediately lit up, and he said enthusiastically, "Hey boy, come to sell sausages again?

The last time I bought a hanging, I was waiting to prepare for the New Year, who knew that just took home a few stinky boys can't wait to howl to eat, he hung the sausage on the roof is useless, his eldest son was bold to pad two small benches to touch, he was startled, but he couldn't let his son break his leg because of a bite of food, and after beating the big boy, he had to helplessly take out the sausage and eat.

I can't take this food, there are one and two, his mother-in-law is also hungry for sausages, and his son will be steamed if he is spoiled, and he will eat it all in seven days according to this posture!

I used to think about taking it to honor my parents and my father-in-law's family during the New Year, but I was annoyed when I saw that the sausages were almost gone, but I didn't expect the two boys who sold sausages to come again!

Xin Andong and the two led the ox cart to pass by the fruit seller, and readily agreed, "Uncle Le, but we have to walk a few steps to find a stall today, you will remember to go to our place to buy it later, if you go late, you will be picked up by others!"

It's really not that he said big words, a cart of sausages is fragrant, a dog's nose is very smart, and the ox cart almost all the way to a stop with the eyes of passers-by, and when Xin Andong lifts the white plastic skin, it is no exaggeration to say that the sound of passers-by grunting and saliva is not too much.

It's still the same as last time, three for ten yuan, but because the sausage has not been air-dried this time, it looks particularly full, and the cylindrical thick sausage looks very tempting, and it doesn't need to be sold.

Soon, a piece of hula came to buy sausages, there was no bargaining, and the uncle who sold the fruit was afraid that he would not be able to buy the sausages, so he directly left the fruit stall and ran over to buy the three hangs away, and the others looked at him This posture is also blindfolded, the three hangs of sausages are thirty yuan, the fruit seller is really rich, and his roaring appearance really calmed some people who were originally in a wait-and-see state.

What are you waiting for, if you don't buy it, you'll be robbed!
