Chapter 90: Rice and Pot
Then, she strode to the rice shop opposite.
"Boss, I really smell rice, do you have ten catties of rice?"
"Yes, thirty dollars a bag, how many bags do you want?"
"Thirty, a bag, ten pounds?"
"Well, this brand is only ten pounds. ”
Ma Tianyao only felt that the five thunders were thundering, and he turned his head to look behind him in disbelief, and his heart was cold.
"Pull ten bags for me first, can you deliver them?"
You can send it when you are near. ”
"Okay, please help me send it to the Ma family's kitchen across the station. ”
After giving the boss the money, Ma Tianyao looked at the store opposite, she had just walked to the intersection, a woman behind her called her, turned her head and saw that it was Ma Cuiping.
"Sister Cuiping?"
Ma Cuiping's face showed a hint of embarrassment, brushed the long hair on her forehead and smiled.
"Tianyao, hehe, I just came back from Majiawa, what's the matter? You came out to buy rice? I'm not here, did your brother say that the price was too high for you?"
"Oh, no, I asked me about the price of the rice, and it was really expensive and I couldn't afford it, so I bought something else. ”
"Is it true??Did you buy it?Go, go to my sister's store to have a look, I just arrived yesterday in Jinsimi, and the price is not expensive......
"Hehe, no need sister, that ...... I've got something to ......."
Ma Tianyao smiled, pointed in the direction of the station, and then walked away without looking back, leaving Ma Cuiping standing stunned, looking at Ma Tianyao's back for a while before sighing and going back.
When she arrived at the store, her husband came out with his teeth picked and asked.
"What?
Ma Cuiping shook her head.
"Don't. ”
Then she gave her husband a blank look and complained.
"You're really, the last time people bought it was only fifty-five yuan, and this time you directly asked people for ninety-eight? Just because people are stupid? Even if you are blinded by others, you can make seventy-five or sixty-five, and it will be doubled all of a sudden, and only a fool will buy !!it."
His husband was a little unimpressed and sneered.
"Cut, this kind of dirt bun, you lied to her because you can afford her, and after two days, you met and said a few good words, and she didn't come over to give us money?"
"The beauty you think !!"
……
Starting at five o'clock in the afternoon, there were more people coming out for dinner, Ma Tianyao was busy greeting guests, but Shi Xiaoxiao was worried about looking at a pot of rice and a pot of pots.
After holding his head for a long time, he suddenly opened his mind and shouted outside with a loudspeaker.
"White rice is cheap to handle, a bowl of five cents !!"
"The pot is cheap to handle, and it only costs five cents!"
"For five cents, you can't buy the east, you can't buy the west, you can't buy a car tractor. Good pot, can feed pigs, can feed chickens, fighter in rice. Five cents, a bowl, eat and laugh and smile......"
……
Not to mention, as soon as the price of five cents was shouted, it immediately attracted a lot of guests, especially students who had just finished school, such as children like Zheng Huanhuan, who had to drink at least a bowl of porridge and eat a bun at night, but eating a bowl of rice for five cents was definitely a great deal.
As for the side dishes, the students definitely have more side dishes than you think.
"Auntie, bring me a bowl of rice!"
"Okay!"
A junior student bought a bowl of rice for five cents, and Shi Xiaoxiao exploded with excitement, this is the first income he got through his own hands.
This classmate was even more excited than Shi Xiaoxiao when he saw that it was really fragrant rice, and the most important thing was that the amount of rice was large enough.
You know, children in the north don't eat much rice since they were young, they don't produce rice here, but they also eat rice, but they have to buy rice, and they have to spend money to buy it.
However, if you eat food made from flour, you can eat what you grow in your own fields, so women in the countryside rarely cook rice for their children throughout the year.
Spending money is one aspect, and if you eat rice, you have to have vegetables, which is another expense.
To express it in numbers, if you eat porridge cooked with flour, you have ground flour at home, add some water to boil it, blanch the vegetables in the field, and a meal costs almost nothing.
But if you want to eat rice, you can't do it, even if the food doesn't cost money, you have to spend real money to buy it, the cheapest pound of rice is 2 yuan a pound, and a meal will cost a few dollars.
If you eat like this for a month, the average family really can't bear it.
Therefore, the rural children have a special craving for rice, after the child takes the rice bowl, he takes out a packet of salted chili powder from his school bag, and then sprinkles it on top of the rice, stirring it with chopsticks, and it is alive!
The whole rice bowl immediately turned red.
Speaking of salted chili powder, this is a special memory of the post-80s children in the north, when the children in the north often ate it, and this is the favorite food.
(Rural families in the north eat oil chili peppers, which are boiled by pouring oil on ground chili noodles)
This kind of chili powder is almost available in every household, and the rural women of that era steamed steamed buns by themselves, and they didn't see how long they were steamed, and then they were all incense.
When a stick of incense is burned halfway, a pot of steamed buns is cooked.
When the hot steamed buns come out of the pot, the rich children will break the steamed buns and put some lard in them, and sprinkle some salt on the lard to eat.
Children who don't have money will tear up a page of exercise paper, get a spoonful of chili noodles on top, sprinkle some salt and stir well, and then twist a piece of steamed bread and dip it to eat.
Spicy with salty, salty and spicy, with hot steamed buns, the food is called an enjoyable.
When the old driver eats this kind of thing, he will just match the chili noodles with a whole steamed bun, and when the whole steamed bun is dipped in, the chili noodles are just finished.
Now this kid, who is extremely talented, has actually expanded this way of eating to a new level, and Shi Xiaoxiao and Ma Tianyao are dead on the spot.
"Auntie...... Bring me a pot ......"
She was still surprised, a little girl handed over five cents, and Shi Xiaoxiao came back to her senses.
"Little sister, can you stop calling me Auntie, I'm only 18 years old, okay......"
"Okay, Auntie......"
Shi Xiaoxiao's cheeks puffed up, crossed his waist with one hand, and said angrily with a spoon.
"I don't believe it today, come, call sister, give you a free pot to eat!"
The girl was excited on the spot, and hurriedly stuffed the five cents back into her pocket and shouted to the dozen or so classmates behind.
"Everyone, come on, here is my sister to eat pot for free. ”
Then he turned his head and shouted at Shi Xiao.
"Sister, sister, sister......"
He shouted more than a dozen times in a row, and then smiled and spoke.
"Sister, what you said, a pot is a sister, I just shouted thirteen times, and these classmates behind me can eat pot for free......"
The girl was afraid that Shi Xiaoxiao would deceive people, so she hurriedly added.
"Auntie, our teacher said that deception noses will become longer......"
Shi Xiaoxiao was crazy at that time, her hands trembled, and she pointed at the little girl.
"You, you, you, you......"
You couldn't say a word for a long time, and in the end you had no choice but to mumble without confidence.
"I was called sister just now, why is it called aunt again?"
