"Let's also get used to it in advance, so it's safer to go to and from school at that time. ”

The last sentence touched Mr. Chen, and he agreed, rented a motorcycle, and prepared to go home.

Xi stopped and instructed: "Master, you just go home directly, you don't have to wait for us in the brigade, the road is so wide, it will be fine." This bike ride is also fast, and it will be back in a while. You go back to cooking lunch first, and then try your new rice cooker to see what it looks like. Finally, he patted the cardboard box tied to the back of the car, playfully and authentically.

Old Man Chen was happy, and also joked: "Okay, I'll cook the rice on the pot when I go back, and then fry two plates of meat for you." ”

"Hahaha...... Good!"

From the township to the village, it has been smooth, flat and flat, and it takes more than 20 minutes to enter the village. Descending to the river below, it has been going downhill, and a few people have gone down the slope, which is very labor-saving.

After crossing the river, you have to go uphill, and a few people have to get off the car when they encounter a slope, push the cart up, ride on the flat ground for a while, and push it when they encounter the uphill.

When I got home this time, I was tired and sweaty.

Old Man Chen and Granny Chen brought out four bowls of honey water and gave it to a few people sitting at the big table in the middle of the street, "Hey~ You see you guys are hot, hurry up and drink saliva." ”

Seeing that several people were drinking honey water according to their words, he sighed and complained: "Oh, slow down, so catch up with the claws?"

Brook smiled mischievously, "Hee-hee...... I want to come back and eat your fried meat, hahaha......" squeezed his eyebrows and made eyes.

provoked a few people to laugh, and Old Man Chen glared at her, and couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that they had finished drinking the water, Old Man Chen put away the bowl, "Put on your clothes quickly, sit in this shade, and get rid of the cold later." All of them had red faces, took off their coats and sat in the middle of the street.

Chen Yubin touched his hot cheeks and pleaded to Old Man Chen, "Master~ I'll wear it later, it's still too hot now, you see, my face is burning." He stretched his face in front of Old Man Chen.

Old Man Chen's face was blank, and he said sharply: "Hurry up and put it on, and I'll catch a cold later." The tone softened a little, "If you still feel hot, don't zip it, just leave it open." ”

Chen Yubin pouted, and then reluctantly put on his coat.

"Come back and take a look, what kind of rice cooker did you buy here, is this rice ready? The dishes are all fried, and you can start the meal." Granny Chen shouted to Mr. Chen in the house.

"Oh, I'm coming. "People are very rare for their new things, and Mr. Chen is also very rare for the rice cooker he bought, and he used it for the first time, so he was very looking forward to what the result would be, so he went back to the house with great expectations.

After getting a new bike, several people couldn't help but ride a few times on the road every morning and evening to show off. Wherever you go, you have to ride a bicycle as long as you can.

There is a temple built on the hill on the right hand side of the village, called Baiya Temple.

Xi didn't know what time to catch the temple fair every year, but she knew that the temple fair was on the first day of the first month of the first month of the year every year, but that day was the first day of the new year, and she didn't have time to go to the temple, but on the eighteenth day of the first month of every year, she had to go, which was very lively.

Jiangjia Village and Lijia Village next to it, there is no temple in the village, and if you want to catch the temple fair, you have to come to Baiya Temple, so it was very lively that day.

Xi remembers that in his previous life, when he was still studying in the village, there were two school breaks that caught up with the eighteenth temple fair, and the temple fair was lively, selling candy or something, and the children liked it.

On the day of receiving the book, Xi and Chen Yubin went to the temple fair, too lazy to get the book, the first year was fine, the teacher left enough books, the second year, on the eighteenth day of Xi, they went to the temple fair again, but when they went to school the next day, all the books were enough, only a math workbook. I don't know if it's providential or deliberate.

Who asked her to go to the temple fair on the day she received the book. There was no way, so I had to borrow Zhao Bo's old math workbook, copy the questions one by one, and then start doing the problems.

A thin workbook is sandwiched in a stack of workbooks, which is very conspicuous.

Such a thick workbook, she copied it for a semester, and it took a thick stack of homework books, it was simply miserable!

It's just that the school starts late this year, and the eighteenth can go to the temple to play with peace of mind, otherwise it won't be able to play. The township is stricter than the village, and it is impossible for you to do what you want.

On the eighteenth day, I went out early.

Thinking that the temple fair is very lively every year, the Xi family also plans to make some money through the temple fair this year.

Zhao Zishu's cousin, last year, ordered an acre of sugarcane, which has been stored in a cool place, and today he also turned it out and planned to take it to the temple fair to sell.

In the morning, while still at home, he took a sugar cane and wanted to see if the sickle was sharp enough to make it work.

The sugarcane he grows is not the kind of black and purple bark, but a kind of green-skinned sugarcane, section by section, which looks like a bamboo pole.

The skin of the sugarcane was roughly scraped twice, and the knife fell, only to see the 'click' twice, and the sugarcane was all cut into knots, which was very neat, and won a round of applause from the onlookers, and the sugarcane was generously distributed by the cousin to a few children on the lookers.

You must know that the sugarcane harvested by his family is reluctant to eat by himself, and those that do not grow and do not grow well are distributed to the neighbors on the left and right when the sugarcane is harvested.

The rest of the good ones are to be sold for money, so they have not been willing to eat a mouthful of sugar cane for a winter.

At this time, he gave all this sugarcane to a few children, and he didn't taste it himself, and the creek's heart was warm.

The skin of this sugarcane is very sharp, and if you are not careful, it will pull a cut in your mouth.

Xixin tore the sugarcane skin and took a bite, although the juice was not as much as that of the purple and black sugarcane, but this sugarcane was very sweet and delicious.

But this bite is more strenuous to bite, and on the other hand, Xi still likes to eat purple and black sugarcane.

Xi rolled his eyes, so much sugarcane will definitely not be sold out today, so when the time comes, buy some from my cousin and use it to make seeds.

In front of Baiya Temple is a dam with two football fields in size.

They came early, and there were only a few people who set up their stalls.

The stalls in front of the temple are placed on the periphery, the dam in the middle is to stay, and the lion and dancing arranged on the temple are at the head of the dam in the middle.

My cousin put down two bundles of sugar cane against the wall, left my cousin to look at things, and went around.

Next to their stall, there are about two stalls apart, and the terrain is very good, so the Xi family decided to set up a stall here.

Putting down the back, the family, including Zhao Juan's brothers and sisters, were busy.

Preparation of materialsPreparation of materials, looking for stone stoves, looking for firewood.

Their family is going to sell fish balls today, and they are ready to sell them.

I got up at four o'clock in the morning, began to cut the fish, make the fish puree, season, and only ate two bites of breakfast.

The boring cousin on the side, seeing that there was no one yet, also helped to put things away.

When the stove was built, the pot was installed, the water was just boiled, and people came one after another.

Old man Chen's hands and feet were nimble, and the white and fat fish balls jumped into the water one after another, and when they floated, they scooped up and controlled the water in the basket.

Seeing this scene, some people curiously gathered around and asked Old Man Chen what he was doing and what was he doing it with?

Old Man Chen replied without raising his head, "This is a fish ball, which is made of fish meat." ”

The man asked, but he didn't go away, and continued to stare at Old Man Chen's skillful movements with relish.

Coincidentally, there were many people who were interested in the Xijia stall, and after a while, the booth was full of people. People are going where to be lively, and those who like to join in the excitement are coming in a steady stream to surround the stalls.

It's just that no one asks the price for so long, and Xi is anxious for them when he sees it, what are you doing?

Another pot of fish balls was fished out of the pot by Granny Chen, and Old Man Chen was about to put fish balls into the pot, when his sleeves were ripped off, he made a pause, and looked up.

"Grandpa, don't be busy, cook a few fish balls for them to taste, they haven't tasted it, they don't know the taste, how can they buy it." Brook said earnestly with a wink.

Old Man Chen looked up at the onlookers in front of the stall, obviously interested but not buying, he knew that this was indeed a problem, nodded and agreed to Xi's proposal.

Scoop up all the water in the pot, add a scoop of well water, wait for boiling, put in more than 10 fish balls, and after cooking, scoop the soup into the basin with juice.

Xi took a plate from the back basket, sandwiched a fish ball, divided it into several portions, inserted a toothpick, handed it to the crowd, and said sweetly: "Uncle, aunt, mother-in-law, grandfather, try it, it's free, after you taste it, if you think it's delicious, you can also buy some and take it home to eat, this fish ball is very delicious......

There are free tastings, and they all reach out.

After tasting it, I thought it tasted very fresh and fragrant, and I wanted to try another one, but I was embarrassed, so I asked about the price of fish balls.

"Three cents for five cents. ”

This time I have to do a little bit. The price was negotiated by the family last night. Fish and meat don't cost money, that is, money for labor and a little spice. Small profits but quick turnover.

"It's pretty (the price) okay...... Then come me ......."

After the tasting, the sale began.

At first, it could be very popular, and they all rushed to buy fish balls, but Old Man Chen's freshly made food could not supply their needs at all, so they had to wait for a while, and then the family went into battle, Granny Chen fished for fish balls, and the rest of the people scraped fish balls.

Zhao Juan's brother and sister didn't know where Ye had gone for a long time, and the temple fair gradually became lively, so her cousin went back to her own stall.

After seeing off the group of customers in front of the stall, the family sat on the stone regardless of the image, loosening their muscles and bones, and then continued to make fish balls.

I made more fish balls today, twice as many as the last time, and I basically finished it in one go, and several people were tired.

By the time he sat on the stone again, Xi's eyes were already straight, and he was stunned.
