Chapter 152: Madness (Asking for Subscription)
As soon as these words came out, the aunts and grandmothers next to them all burst into laughter.
Junhui was so angry that his ears turned red, and he shouted at Brother Chen Yang: "I don't have it, don't talk nonsense." ”
"Hahaha, I still said no, look at you, your face is red. ”
These jokes are just jokes after all, even if they are heard by Xia Hua, who has just walked to the intersection, she won't think much about it in her heart.
She was eighteen years old, and she knew exactly what was an unintentional joke and what was a malicious slander.
When I walked to the flat land in the middle of the village, I happened to see the van that came into the village every day to sell pork.
Xia Hua walked over, stood next to the van, looked at the red and white pork on the car, and asked with a little hesitation: "How much is a pound of pork?"
The pork seller was a middle-aged uncle, in his fifties, who had a very serious white spot on his body, and looked strange and scary.
Still, such superficially ugly people are not scary. What is scary are those who are ugly at heart. Therefore, Xia Hua has never felt that this uncle is terrible.
The uncle pointed to a piece of lean meat and said with a smile: "This lean meat is thirty-two yuan a catty." ”
Then he pointed to the pork belly and said, "Three layers of meat are thirty yuan a catty." ”
Xia Hua looked at the banknote in her hand, but no longer hesitated: "Then help me weigh twenty yuan of lean meat, twenty yuan of three-layer meat." ”
"Okay, then I'll give you thirty dollars a catty. The uncle was not embarrassed, and directly set the unit price on the electronic scale to thirty, and then cut a piece of lean meat, and then cut a piece of pork belly, and put it on the scale together.
"Forty-one dollars, one more piece, just give forty. The uncle said as he put the pork in the bag.
Xia Hua said thank you, then handed two twenty yuan to the uncle, and after taking the pork, she hurried home.
When they returned home, several younger sisters and younger brothers were very happy to see their sister come back with a bag of pork, and immediately gathered around like chickens.
Sanhua took the pork from her sister's hand and exclaimed happily, "Haha, there is pork to eat tonight." ”
As he spoke, he raised the pork in his hand high, deliberately not touching it for his younger brothers and sisters.
The little ones were so angry that they threw themselves on her, making a mess of her braids she had just tied and stomping on her clothes with dirty little shoes.
Xia Hua smiled helplessly, returned to the house, hid the hundred-yuan bill as usual, and then returned to the yard to feed the chickens and ducks, and prepare dinner.
There was pork for dinner, so the little ones were very interested, and before the dish came out of the pot, they set the dishes and chopsticks early, and sat obediently on the small bench, sitting in a circle around the low round table.
Summer flowers stir-fry in the cramped kitchen.
After the pork belly is sliced, fry it directly in the pan, and add some light soy sauce when it comes out of the pan. Lean meat is cooked in soup with greens. Now that the weather is dry, it's good to drink some vegetable soup.
After the dish was cooked, as soon as it was brought to the table, a few little guys were impatient to drive the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables.
Xia Hua snatched the chopsticks from their hands.
"Ah, every time. Sanhua screamed impatiently, but she knew her sister's temper, so she obediently got up from the bench, and then ran to the yard to get a little water from the basin to wash her hands.
Several other sisters and younger brothers also went out to wash their hands.
After they wiped their hands clean and examined Xia Hua one by one, they could take back the chopsticks.
Now I can finally eat properly. A few little guys ate and drank like bandits.
While happily chewing the fragrant pork belly, I exclaimed that it was delicious.
Sanhua Sihua doesn't like to eat pork belly, so he can only eat lean meat in green vegetable soup.
The lean meat is cooked just right, not firewood at all, and it tastes just as good.
Seeing her younger siblings eating so happily, Xia Hua was also happy. However, from beginning to end, her chopsticks always only hold green vegetables.
Sihua asked her sister puzzled: "Eldest sister, why don't you eat pork?"
Xia Hua was chewing green vegetables with relish, and when she heard her sister ask, she raised her hand and pinched the natural baby fat on her face, and said very annoyedly: "Look, my sister is so fat, if you eat pork again, it will be even fatter." So, eat it, eat more pork to grow taller quickly. ”
"However, we will also gain weight if we eat pork. Sanhua suddenly didn't want to eat. She didn't want to gain weight either.
Xia Hua smiled: "You won't gain weight by eating pork, you can rest assured, because you are still young, after eating pork in your stomach, it will only make you grow taller, and then make your skin as white as white fat pork, and make your face as ruddy as a red lean pig, it will only make you beautiful, eat with confidence." ”
When Sanhua heard this, she felt that her sister's words seemed to be quite reasonable, so she quickly picked up chopsticks to eat.
Sihua looked at her sister in a daze, not knowing at all whether her sister was joking or serious.
She glanced up at the light bulb above her head.
The white bulb was small, but bright, like my sister.
After eating, when everyone went to grab the remote control, Xia Hua began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
She took the dishes, chopsticks and plates to the bottom of the faucet in the courtyard in batches, and then quietly glanced at the hall behind her, and after confirming that her younger brothers and sisters were concentrating on grabbing the remote control, she picked up the stainless steel plate that was originally used to hold the green vegetable and lean meat soup, brought it to her mouth, tilted her neck slightly, and drank the vegetable soup with a strong pork flavor inside.
If it's going to eat someone else's leftovers, it may be a bit difficult to talk about. But eating her own leftover soup, Xia Hua felt that it was nothing.
After all, there are such conditions at home.
Moreover, pork is too expensive nowadays. If you buy a pound of pork for 30 yuan, the five of them will divide it equally, and one person can only eat two taels of meat at most.
But if she doesn't eat it and gives it all to her younger siblings, the younger siblings will be able to eat a little more each.
Although pork is very expensive, and it is ridiculously expensive, it should not be consumed by a family like theirs at all, Xia Hua is also very clear that her younger siblings are growing up, and if they do not have enough nutrient intake, they will not only be stunted, but also the body's resistance will also decrease.
Therefore, no matter how poor you are, you can't suffer them.
Moreover, there is another very important reason why Xia Hua buys such expensive pork. That is, she didn't want her younger siblings, especially the younger sisters who were girls, to feel that the family was too poor to eat meat.
Although the family is indeed very poor, no matter how poor she is, she will try her best to ensure their material foundation, so that they can afford to eat meat and drink milk, and absolutely must not let them go the wrong way for a bottle of milk.
You know, the heart is separated from the belly. Xia Hua has long known that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs.
Therefore, if something bad happens, the consequences are unimaginable to her, and the family cannot bear it.
As an older sister, although she can't give her younger siblings the best life, she will work hard, and she will do her best to make their lives better, instead of being helpless like she was at the beginning.
There are some hardships and sourness, it is good to have suffered them yourself, and there is no need to let your younger brothers and sisters suffer the same hardships and sourness.
Because she's a sister.
Just like the fourth uncle because he is Chen Yang's fourth uncle, he always feels that he should do more work.
When making mountain pepper sauce in the evening, the fourth uncle had already said 'let me come' several times in a row.
Chen Yang stood behind the fourth uncle and said with a smile: "Fourth uncle, now that you are here, you must master the heat, and don't fry the mountain pepper black." ”
"Oh, you're so long-winded. The fourth uncle said a little impatiently, "How many times have you said this? If there are no adults around a child, even if he falls asleep, he will feel insecure. There's only a little bit of mountain pepper left, and I can do it in half an hour. ”
"Are you sure? How many spices I put in just now, how to mix the sauce, you remember them all?" Chen Yang was still a little uneasy.
The fourth uncle nodded: "Oh, remember, remember, you are so verbose at such a young age, and when you get old in the future, I really don't know what you have to become." Anyway, there is only this pot of mountain pepper left, if I do this pot wrong, I will pay the loss, now you can rest assured. ”
"Okay. "The fourth uncle said so, and Chen Yang couldn't go on long-winded.
In fact, he was not afraid that the fourth uncle would fail to make him lose money, he was afraid that the fourth uncle would fail to make it but didn't know it, and then mixed the inferior mountain pepper sauce into the good mountain pepper sauce.
Then, without knowing the truth, they sold the mountain pepper sauce.
In this way, Chen Yang's production of this signboard can be regarded as a smash.
However, his worries were clearly unfounded.
Although the fourth uncle is wooden, this woodenness is really his merit.
He knows that he is not smart, so no matter what he studies, he will work harder than others, do anything, and definitely be more serious than others.
Therefore, the mountain pepper sauce he made is the same as the mountain pepper sauce made by Chen Yang.
The next morning, when Chen Yang checked the sauce that the fourth uncle made last night, the big stone in his heart was finally put down.
He gave a thumbs up and praised: "Fourth uncle, you are amazing, I didn't expect you to learn quite quickly." ”
"I'm stupid and fly first. The fourth uncle said with a smile.
"It's the stupid bird that flies first. Chen Yang rolled his eyes, "Oh, by the way, Fourth Uncle, the glass jar I bought online has arrived in our town, and you can drive back later." ”
"I'll wash the peppercorns and go again. The fourth uncle said.
"No, I don't. Chen Yang waved his hand and refused, "I'll just wash the mountain pepper, and after the glass jar is pulled back later, we will have to clean the glass jar." You go and come back quickly, and buy some food by the way. ”
"Oh, okay. The fourth uncle drove to pull the glass jar, while Chen Yang stayed at home to take care of Xiaoqian and clean the peppercorns.
After the fourth uncle pulled the glass jar back, the mountain pepper had been washed and dried. So, the two began to unpack and inspect the glass jar again.
"Huh, that's weird. The fourth uncle counted it and said very strangely, "No, if there are fifty boxes or a thousand, should there be twenty boxes? How did I count out twenty-two boxes?"
"Really?" Chen Yang also counted when he heard this. Hey, it's twenty-two boxes.
"It's weird. Chen Yang took out his mobile phone and looked at the online shopping order, and he really only bought a thousand.
But how can this be a hundred more out of thin air?
Maybe it's because the seller sent too much.
Chen Yang thought about it like this, and hurriedly sent a message to the seller: "Are you there?"
Seller: "Dear, here, can I help you?"
Chen Yang's scalp was numb, and he said, "That, I only bought a thousand glass jars, but you seem to have sent a hundred more, is it a mistake?"
Seller: "Dear, it's not wrong." Because you are buying glass products, it is very likely that the goods will be damaged due to improper transportation during transportation, so you will be given more than one product to prevent the incomplete goods from being insufficient when you get the goods. ”
"In addition, because you have purchased a large number of goods at one time, in order to avoid inconvenience caused by defects in some of our products, we have specially sent you an extra 100 items. This way, whether the item is damaged in transit or a defective item, you can be compensated directly, so you don't have to waste time waiting for the item to be reissued. ”
Chen Yang: "However, the number of your extra posts is a bit amazing, and there are actually a hundred more posts." ”
Seller: "Dear, it's all like this, as long as the customer buys ten, we will send eleven, buy a hundred, we will send one hundred and ten." You bought a thousand, and sent you a thousand and one hundred are right. You don't have to worry. ”
Chen Yang understood.
I can only say that I was so lucky to meet such a conscientious seller.
He couldn't help but praise: "Your approach is amazing, we checked the glass jars just now, and all of them are fine, and there are a hundred more of them." ”
Seller: "Dear, if you need it next time, you can continue to buy in our store, and we will give you the greatest discount." ”
"No problem. Chen Yang said, "Then I'll place another order, and I'll have another thousand." ”
The seller did not reply.
I guess the other end of the phone is dancing happily. After all, this kind of big order is really not so easy to come across. But as a result, this one buyer directly sent two large orders......
After a long while, the seller said, "Okay, you can place an order, and we'll send you 1,200 this time." In addition, remember to give five-star praise, preferably with pictures or something. ”
"No problem. Chen Yang took a photo, and then lit up fifteen stars for this transaction, with a picture and a few simple words: good, good, good, very good.
After sending out the review, I placed another order.
Chen Yang told the fourth uncle the truth about the multiple glass jars, and also mentioned the fact that he had placed another order.
After hearing this, the fourth uncle said worriedly: "Xiaoyang, you bought another thousand? ”
"What's wrong?" Chen Yang asked as he took out the glass jar and slowly put it into the basin, "Why am I crazy?"
