Chapter 105: Sugar Gourd
The next day, Li Liang's parents went back to Zaozhu Township with a large number of New Year's goods bought from the city, Li Liang did not follow, he was going to take advantage of the past few days to review with Chenchen and a few of them for a few more days, and then go to his grandfather's house to live for a few days after the New Year.
But he didn't forget his grandparents, he asked his mother to buy a 12-inch black-and-white TV to take back, originally Li Liang meant to buy a color TV, but Li Shuangzhu felt that it was enough to have a black-and-white TV in the countryside, and it was a bit too ostentatious to buy it.
He didn't forget his two cousins Li Hao and Li Yin, and asked his mother to buy them a few catties of toffee to bring back, as well as two gloves he chose.
Li Liang's parents were not at home, and Chenchen, Wang Chao, Zhang Junjie and others, who were doing homework at his house, blew up the pot. They all knew that although Wang Xiulan gave Li Liang a lot of pocket money.
After Zhang Junjie finished writing the math homework assigned by Li Liang, he roasted the fire by the brazier, ate two pieces of white rabbit, and asked Li Liang with satisfaction: "Brother Liang, what are we going to eat at noon today?"
Usually a few people study at Li's house, and usually go back to their own house to eat at noon and night, Zhang Junjie asked, Li Liang knew that he must be greedy.
Zhang Junjie and others had eaten Li Liang's cooking and knew that Li Liang's cooking tasted good.
But now that the weather is so cold, Li Liang's laziness has attacked.
"Junjie, let's go to your mother's store to eat today!"
"Ahh
His mother, Chen Chunhua, explained to him that he had nothing to do and went to the store to eat, after all, this is a partnership between the two families, and it is not good for his family to eat more and take more. If she pays, it will be too hurtful, so she simply asks her family to eat at home as much as possible.
"Okay!" This is Chenchen's voice, she doesn't care, she knows that Li Liang will pay every time he goes to Wangke to eat, the first two times Wang Fagen and Liangzi entertained those salesmen in Wangkelai Main Store, they didn't let the store make less money.
"It's amazing. This is Wang Chao's voice, he just followed Li Liang to Chenchen's grandmother's house once during the summer vacation, and he ate at a branch, so he knew that Wangkelai tasted good. But he hadn't gone in to eat at the head office in the city.
The four elementary schools should seize the time, read the books, and write the homework. At half past eleven o'clock in the morning, Li Liang resolutely locked the half-grown sunspot in the courtyard, and the group walked towards Wangke.
Today is the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and the streets are bustling with people, and there are people buying and selling New Year's goods everywhere. Zhang Junjie is jumping up and down and looking very active, children just like to be lively.
In the past two years, the central government has put forward the slogan of reform and opening up, especially in the second half of the year, the production of Hek County has been guaranteed to households, so that the surrounding peasants can freely control the work in the fields.
Spinach, radish, Chinese cabbage, baby greens, cabbage, cauliflower, garlic and other vegetables suitable for winter growth continue to supply fresh ingredients to the city people.
There are also more stalls and vendors on the street, making rice cakes, blowing candy, selling rock sugar gourds, and selling malt candy.
"Sister, I want to eat rock sugar gourd!" Zhang Junjie said.
"Okay, I'll buy it for you, little glutton!"
Since the conditions at home improved, Chen Chunhua's pocket money for her daughter has gradually increased, Chenchen took out his pocket, took out a dollar, and asked, "How do you sell rock sugar gourds?"
"A string of five cents!"
"I buy ten skewers, can I give two more skewers?" said Chenchen.
The one who sells rock sugar gourds is a young man, and other children generally buy them in one or two skewers, and it is rare to meet such a big customer, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give you two more skewers." ”
Li Liang hurriedly prepared to pay, and at the same time asked, "Chenchen, why did you buy so much?"
Chenchen didn't let Li Liang pay the money, she handed the money in her hand to the young man who sold rock sugar gourds, and replied, "I'll give it to the people in my mother's store later, let them all taste it." ”
Li Liang appreciates Chenchen's point very much, and he is willing to share something without care. After the two got married in their last life, the relationship between the two has always been very good, and a very important reason is that Chenchen is generous and does not care about it, and treats relatives on both sides very well. For those relatives who are too stingy and stingy in the process of ordinary interactions, Chenchen smiles at most, and then rarely interacts, and generally does not lose his temper in front of people, which is widely praised among relatives.
Chenchen took the change recovered by the vendor, and Li Liang and Wang Chao hurriedly used their hands to help hold the 12 strings of rock sugar gourds handed over by the vendor.
Zhang Junjie couldn't wait, took a string from Li Liang's hand, bit the rock sugar gourd in his mouth, and muttered, "It's so sweet!"
Li Liang is holding a handful of rock sugar gourd strings in his left hand, and he is also holding one in his right hand to eat, I haven't eaten this kind of snack for a long time, it feels so good.
I ate all the way to the store, and as the New Year approached, the business in the store was getting better and better. Chen Chunhua stood behind the cashier counter in the store, saw her daughter, son and Li Liang come in, and came out of the counter to greet her: "You go find an empty seat to sit by yourself, and order whatever you want to eat." ”
Seeing that his mother was not angry, Zhang Junjie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "Mom, I want to eat spicy crayfish!"
"No~~"
"And boiled pork slices?"
Once Li Liang made this dish at home, which made Zhang Junjie unforgettable.
"Okay!" Chen Chunhua responded, "You delicious ghost, Liangzi, Chenchen, what do you want to eat?"
"Auntie, you can let the kitchen serve as you like, there are four of us, we can't eat much, is there any soup?"
"Yes, there is pork knuckle soup and yam pork rib soup!"
"Then let's make pork knuckle soup!"
Several people were talking, and Wang Xiuyan, Chen Run, and Chen Li, who were busy shuttling around the store to take bowls and serve dishes, also saw them, put down their work one after another, and gathered around.
They are not familiar with Wang Chao, Wang Xiuyan joked to Li Liang: "Liangzi, come and help my aunt work!"
Chen Run didn't speak, Chen Li was younger and more active, she smiled and said to Zhang Junjie: "Brother Junjie, come and help my sister serve me!"
Zhang Junjie snatched a handful of rock sugar gourds from Li Liang's hand, flatteringly took out a string and handed it to Chen Li and said, "Sister Li, I bought it for you on purpose." ”
"Even if you have a conscience and still remember my sister and me, then you don't need to serve the food, what do you want to eat and tell your sister?" Chen Li took the rock sugar gourd and said with a smile.
"Spicy crayfish!"
The persistent Zhang Junjie still reported the name of the dish.
"Nope!"
Not surprisingly, the answer to Zhang Junjie is still no.
A few people talked and laughed for a while, there were many things in the store, and everyone went to do their own things again.
