Chapter 67 Open a small stove
Zhou Sining finally straightened her waist when she came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, although she was facing the stinky salesman just now, she still borrowed the toilet from someone after buying toilet paper, and after replacing the toilet paper, she was considered alive again.
She looked down at the toilet paper in the crook of her arm, a little disgusted. There are only two kinds of toilet paper sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives, one is straw paper, which is very rough and used by people with good conditions to go to the toilet, and the other is sold by the knife. The other is that she has this kind of in her hand, which is relatively better, but for people like Zhou Sining, who have seen serious and good things, this quality of toilet paper is really far behind.
It's just that she has no choice now, she can only settle.
After solving a major event in her life, she realized that today's town seemed to be a little more lively than usual, and a large oil pot was erected in front of the state-owned restaurant diagonally opposite the supply and marketing cooperative.
Only then did Zhou Sining realize that today was the day to catch up with the big set. If this is a normal time, every day when she catches up with the big set, Li Rucui will try her best to go out for a walk, but for a while, she has been beaten by Zhou Yaosen and stopped a lot, and there are no big sets to go around, so she didn't think about it.
Thinking that it was really unsafe to come to town today, she quickly threw the toilet paper caught in the crook of her arm into the back basket and strode in the direction of home.
When I walked to the entrance of the town, I caught a glimpse of an old man squatting there on the side of the road, with a cloth bag in front of him, and I don't know what it was selling.
Zhou Sining was still thinking when she walked over, she didn't seem to see someone setting up a stall just now, how could she come back and have it, she didn't dare to delay time this time, just a moment of effort, this old man came over to put it up? The cloth bag in front of him was a little broken, she saw that there was a patch on it, and it was estimated that it couldn't contain any good things, and it was estimated that it was either sweet potatoes or bud rice. It's just that if the sweet potato is estimated to be poured directly to the ground, he can't be sold in a cloth bag. Is it bud rice, or rice or white flour?
Thinking like this, she couldn't take a step forward with her feet.
After sucking a mouthful, she felt that she was hungry, and she was not full at all after eating that little soup and water at noon, and at this time she thought of the baked eggs in the stove hole that she had not had time to pull out, and her stomach was even more hungry.
Her body stopped uncontrollably, then turned backwards and walked back again.
"Uncle, what are you selling?" Zhou Sining walked back to the entrance of the town, stood in front of the old man, and looked into the cloth bag.
The old man didn't expect the little girl who had walked over to come back again, but he finally waited for one to inquire, and he hurriedly greeted, "There is something going on at home, I came a little late today, I brought some rice here, the little girl is sincere, if you want, I will give you a cheaper." ”
As he spoke, he carefully opened the cloth bag so that the little girl could see the color of his rice. Usually he occasionally rushes to the market to sell some rice and does not worry about selling, but today there is something at home that is delayed, and he is late, and there are basically no people shopping in the town, he also has the idea of trying it, so he waited at the entrance of the town, but he didn't expect to just arrive here, this girl came to ask.
Zhou Sining unceremoniously grabbed a handful of rice and looked at it, making sure that the rice was of the same quality as the uncle said, and then asked, "How did you sell this rice?"
The uncle stretched out two fingers.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Sining was afraid that he had misunderstood, so he hurriedly asked.
"One dime, two pounds. ”
"It's a bit expensive. Zhou Sining threw the rice in her hand into the bag, she seemed to have heard that the current price of rice is one cent, white flour is one cent and two, and bud rice flour is only five cents. Rice is considered a high price of one dime and two cents.
"It's a little more expensive, but the quality of my rice is much better than what is sold outside, you look at the color, you look at the brightness, you look at our quality, I want a dime and a half is not expensive at all." ”
Zhou Sining glanced at the rice in the bag again, it was indeed as the old man said, the rice was milky white in color, well-proportioned in size, full of grains, and the fragrance of the rice in the bag could be smelled from such a distance.
"Even if it's good, it's not this year's new rice, and your price is still expensive. "It's just June, and it's not yet harvest time in the surrounding rice growing places, so the rice at this time is all from last year, and the new rice hasn't come down yet.
Uncle is obviously not a person who can speak well, so Zhou Sining has nothing to refute what he says, just insisting that his rice will be sold at this price.
Zhou Sining looked at the old man's excavation, and could only compromise helplessly, "Okay, if it's more expensive, it's more expensive, who let the two of us have a fate, you're late to set up a stall, I'm late for the market, let's make it up, and it's all solved, you weigh me two catties." ”
"Hey, little girl, don't worry, eat my family's rice, you won't lose money if you buy it." The uncle took out a scale, inserted the weighing pan into the cloth bag at once, scooped out the rice and weighed it, "Look at it, I'll give you a high one, although my rice is a little more expensive, but my old man never fools people, one is one and two is two, I definitely can't let you suffer." ”
Of course Zhou Sining understood it, although this old man had dug a little, but his heart was not bad, and he was honest in business, she took out two cents and handed it over, "Okay, I'll go home and try it, if it's really delicious, I'll buy it from you in the next episode." ”
"Hehe, then you may not be able to meet me, I don't come often, if you don't see me, go to Jinhuaitun to find me, my surname is Wu, as soon as you inquire about Old Man Wu, someone will tell you where my home is." "The old man was quite welcoming.
"Okay, I'll go to you if I need to. Zhou Sining packed the rice, didn't have the heart to chat with the old man, said hello, and walked home with the basket on his back.
In the afternoon of the same day, while she was alone at home, she opened a small stove for herself. Tasting the rice porridge that she hadn't seen for a long time, she was moved to cry, the days before were really not people's lives, the sweet potatoes and potatoes that saw the sky, her stomach has not been burned out of a hole until now, it is a miracle.
She scooped a spoonful of rice porridge and put it in her mouth to taste it slowly, feeling that the previous hardships were not in vain, and the tiredness was not in vain, she vowed to live the days of eating rice and pork every day in the future.
She ate two bowls in a row, only then did she fill her stomach, and when she saw that there was still a little left in the pot, she finally decided not to embarrass herself, she took out another bowl, and put out the remaining rice porridge in the pot, and there was also a large half bowl, and she took it directly and sent it to the male owner's house. It is estimated that this bowl is directly placed on the male protagonist's table, and the Zhou family can't find out that she is so confident in the male protagonist's good luck.
After coming back, she quickly brushed the iron pot, and then went to the man's house again, and hid the remaining rice and the toilet paper she had just bought under the man's bed. In this home, it is only in the male protagonist's house that she can feel a sense of security.
