Chapter 106: Worried
Old Man Chen thought about it and no longer refused.
Xiaoxi continued to stuff it into Old Man Chen's hand, and motioned for him to put it away, "You eat these first, and then ask me when you're done." ”
This time, she had a lot of stock. "Like jujube cakes, if you want to eat them, ask me again. ”
"Well, I know it all. "He won't be polite to his granddaughter. When the cattle are fine, he likes to eat snacks such as fried peanuts to polish time.
Bring the chestnut cakes back to the house with two baskets and hand them to Granny Chen. When Chen Yubin on the side saw it, he pouted and looked at Xiaoxi with an unhappy face.
He finished his homework just now, and when the sun went down, he followed Granny Chen back to the house to roast the fire.
He didn't spin around, so the brook forgot about him. Smiled apologetically, "Oh~ I forgot about you." Go, come out with me. ”
Pulled Chen Yubin and went out.
He picked up half a basket of salty chestnut cakes and half a basket of sweet chestnut cakes and handed them to Chen Yubin.
"Ah~ just give this basket?" Chen Yubin said unhappily.
"These are for you first, and then ask me when you're done. Besides, this chestnut cake needs to be hot to be delicious, you can be with me at any time, and if you want to eat it, ask me if you want to. Shall I let you watch while I eat?"
He shook his head, thought about it, nodded again, and took the basket and put it into his space.
Because she had a good meal at noon, Granny Chen cooked a pot of green vegetable noodles in the evening. Everyone has no opinion, because everyone knows what is going on at home.
One person scooped a bowl of noodles, a small bowl of pickled shredded radish, a small bowl of pickled cabbage, a small bowl of cold pickles, and of course, the indispensable sauerkraut for the meal.
The production of pickled shredded radish and pickled cabbage is very simple, the ingredients are cut into thin strips, dried for two days, leaving only a little water, put in salt, pepper noodles, monosodium glutamate, ginger and garlic dices and cooked oil and chili seeds, and then put some coriander, green onions, garlic sprouts and the like. Stir well, put it in a plastic bag, store it tightly, and it can be left for a long time.
After the kimchi is soaked, pick it up, put in monosodium glutamate, ginger and garlic and cooked oil and chili, you can also put some soy sauce, put it in a plastic bottle, and pour a little when you eat, it is very convenient and the storage time is also long.
These small dishes are easy to store and take a long time, so they are long guests at the dinner table of Xiaoxi's family.
During the meal, Old Man Chen told Granny Chen that he was going to take his two children to the county seat tomorrow. Granny Chen didn't say anything, just nodded and said she knew. Buying New Year's goods like this is handed over to Mr. Chen.
Xiaoxi remembered that it seemed a long, long time ago for the whole family to go to the scene together, but forget it tomorrow, Granny Chen will probably get in the way if she goes, and she will have a chance in the future.
Because I have to get up early tomorrow, after a simple wash, the whole family will rest early.
Early the next morning, before dawn, about six o'clock, the third master got up. All wear their best clothes.
Old Man Chen got up early and cooked a pot of white porridge. Originally, he wanted to cook noodles, which was convenient, but he thought that Xiaoxi didn't eat noodles in the morning, so he forgot it.
Xiaoxi ate a small half bowl of white porridge with side dishes in the morning. Because she had to take the car later, she was motion sick, so she didn't dare to eat too much. If you throw up in the car, it will be embarrassing.
The three of them packed up, and one of them carried a backpack and went out.
There was a big bowl of white porridge left in the pot and simmered in hot water, and it was still hot when Granny Chen got up later, so she didn't need to be hot anymore.
Walked to the brigade, did not rent a motorcycle, and continued on the way. When they arrived in the township, they waited for the bus from Longyan, and the three of them got on the bus and went to the county seat.
The route was discussed with Mr. Chen the day before.
Thinking that they had memorized it, they didn't plan to rent a motorcycle from the brigade, which was inconvenient.
You don't have to go to the countryside to go to the county seat.
On the halfway road from the brigade to the township, you can follow the trail on the hillside to the place where they must pass through the county seat - Wangjiahe.
Most of the people nowadays are still frugal, basically get up early, don't go to the countryside to take the car, take the road to Wangjiahe and then take the car, only spend half of the money.
And the time it takes to walk the trail is about the same as the time it takes to go to the countryside and then take a car to Wangjiahe.
Therefore, everyone to catch up with the county is basically to walk to Wangjiahe and then take a car, after catching up with the set in the county seat to take a car to Wangjiahe, and then climb the mountain and walk back.
On the car, it seems that they are basically going to the market, because everyone is either carrying a basket in front of them, or holding a basket in their arms. There are also things in the aisles, so that people have nowhere to put their feet.
Old man Chen took two children and squeezed them up. He didn't want to wait any longer, the cars behind him would only get more and more crowded, and now this is good.
"Squeeze it again, I have two babies here, squeeze it, squeeze it. Old Man Chen pulled one in one hand and shouted loudly while squeezing back. In addition to the backing, the aisle is also full of people, and it is very crowded.
There was no room in the car for their backs, and the three of them had to carry them. But there were too many people in the car, and as soon as they turned and braked, Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin were too young to stand, so they had to firmly hold on to Old Man Chen's sleeve.
But Xiaoxi still leaned forward carelessly, didn't brake the car, if it wasn't for Old Man Chen's quick reaction and grabbed her, she would have almost hit the back of the person in front of her. After Xiaoxi was frightened, he touched his cheek with palpitations, and was almost disfigured again.
It was a bumpy ride, and I almost threw up the stream. Got out of the bus station and held on to the wall for a long time to catch his breath before relieving himself.
"Xiaoxi, what are you asking us to carry a backlash for?"
Yesterday, Xiaoxi told him that he would have to carry a recite today.
There were too many turns along the way, so the car was very bumpy, and some young people saw that he was carrying a big backpack and kindly wanted to help him carry it for a while, or squeeze it again to make room for him to put the backpack.
caused him to wave his hand again and again to refuse, and he was holding on to the back rope, not daring to let people take over. Because, he carried an empty back.
And the young people who were rejected by him all secretly said, "The old man's physical strength is really good" and "The old man should be strong".
Now the anxious heart has finally been put back in its place.
Xiaoxi smiled slyly, raised her eyebrows, and said playfully: "Grandpa, do you want to make some money while the New Year is being made?" He also stretched out his right hand in front of Old Man Chen, rubbing his thumb and index finger against each other.
This old man Chen has never seen this wealth fan, so he was a little surprised. Chen Yubin had seen it many times, and he was not surprised at all, but asked happily: "Really, how to make money?"
Xiaoxi grabbed the back rope and pulled the back rope behind him forward.
"This?" Chen Yubin asked in a strange voice, pointing to the back in front of him. "Is it selling back. Picking at his head in bewilderment.
But this back is old, how can it be sold for money? Even if it is new, it can't be sold for money.
"Of course not...... Xiaoxi retracted the whole sentence, covered her mouth, and whispered, "Have you forgotten my space?"
"That's right!" Chen Yubin slapped in surprise and shouted, startling Old Man Chen.
He had already reacted, but he was silent, just looked at Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin, and listened silently.
"Be quiet, what's the fuss? Old Man Chen frowned and couldn't help but scold.
Chen Yubin covered his mouth in disdain and glanced at Old Man Chen carefully.
Xiaoxi looked around, pulled Old Man Chen and Chen Yubin back and retreated. He pressed his throat and said, "Master, don't I have a lot of fruits in my space, I'm going to sell some when everyone is preparing New Year's goods today." There are many rich people in the county, and it must be easy to sell. ”
Old Man Chen thought, today is also early, they want to sell some, if they can't sell it, they won't waste it.
Chen Yubin looked at Old Man Chen expectantly. Last year, when he saw Chen's father and Chen's mother setting up a stall, he was greedy for a long time, and this time it was finally his turn, how could it not be exciting.
"What are you going to sell Xiaoxi?" Although the granddaughter had an idea, Old Man Chen still asked uneasily.
This means that he agrees. Although she planned to set up a stall today, no matter whether Old Man Chen agreed or not, but now that Old Man Chen agreed, it saved her some trouble.
"Master, I thought about this before I discussed it with you yesterday. Swallowing, he re-said, "I'm going to sell grapes." After a pause, he looked at the two people in front of him.
Seeing that they didn't say much, they just looked at her seriously and listened to her.
Xiaoxi smiled with satisfaction, it seemed that they were all relieved of her.
Putting away the smile on his face, he explained, "Why do I plan to sell grapes? Because although there are people who store these grapes, the technology is not in place, and the quantity is small. Therefore, in these two days, there are few grapes in the world, and the price is high. ”
"During the Chinese New Year, everyone eats more greasy, and this grape is refreshing and greasy. Moreover, there are many rich people in the county, and there are many people who want to come and buy grapes. ”
suppressed his voice a little, "Master, Binbin, you know how delicious the grapes in my space are." ”
Chen Yubin came to his senses, his eyebrows and eyes furled, and he nodded, "Well, the grapes are delicious, and there must be many people who buy them." ”
Old Man Chen also nodded. Although he didn't speak, it could be seen from his facial expression that he agreed with Chen Yubin's words.
After casually looking around, Xiaoxi asked, "Master, where do you say we are going to set up a stall to sell grapes?" As if he didn't know the county seat, he handed over such an important matter as deciding the location of the stall to Old Man Chen.
"Then let's go first. "People come and go here, talking as they go.
Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin didn't say much, and followed Old Man Chen.
Although Old Man Chen looked calm in front of Xiaoxi, as if he didn't care about it in his heart, he still had a scale in his heart.
Although I haven't been to the county seat for many years, the layout of the city has largely remained the same. So Old Man Chen took the two of them to their destination quickly.
