011 The temptation of hometown cuisine
In less than half an hour, Jia Qilin had just finished eating, and a young man's voice came from outside the courtyard, which was Huzi.
"Brother Kirin, are you alright? ”
"Right away, you wait a minute. ”
Jia Qilin responded.
"Don't worry, you prepare slowly, I'll wait here at the intersection. ”
Huzi replied.
"Brother Qilin, I want to go too, can you take me with you?"
Xiao Yu looked at Jia Qilin with hopeful eyes.
"You Brother Qilin has something to do when you go, and you follow what to mess with. ”
Jia Zhenguo glared at Xiao Yu.
"I want to go......"
Xiaoyu is coquettish.
"Xiaoyu is good, brother is really busy today...... I'll take you next time I'm in town. Okay, okay?"
Jia Qilin touched Xiaoyu's head.
"Oh...... All right. ”
Xiaoyu nodded reluctantly.
Jia Qilin simply scrubbed his face and walked out of the yard.
At the three-way intersection by the river not far away, a blue tricycle was parked, and a sturdy young man with a tiger's back squatted on the side of the road smoking a cigarette. Seeing Jia Qilin coming over, he quickly stood up.
"Huzi, I'm sorry for you. ”
Jia Qilin walked over.
"Brother Qilin, what are you talking about, this little thing is not troublesome. ”
Huzi smiled innocently.
"When I left, you were so old that you were a big man in the blink of an eye. Let's go. ”
Jia Qilin patted Huzi on the shoulder.
"Okay. ”
Huzi opened the door of the tricycle, and the two got on the tricycle.
With the sound of the engine, the tricycle drove along the winding rural concrete road towards the entrance of the village.
"Huzi, what are you doing now?"
Jia Qilin asked casually.
"I usually work as a small worker on the construction site, and when I don't have a job, I drive three wheels to pull our home-grown vegetables and fruits to the city to sell. ”
Huzi replied.
"How's the income? Is it okay?"
Jia Qilin then asked.
"The small worker is basically one hundred and twenty days, and the better one is one hundred and fifteen. However, if you are not satisfied, it will only be five or six months a year at most. As for selling vegetables and fruits, excluding the oil money and booth fees, it is almost one or two hundred. ”
Huzi didn't hide it at all, and told the truth.
"Oh, not bad. If you do it for a few years, you can save more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan and marry a daughter-in-law. ”
Jia Qilin smiled slightly.
"How can I save so much, my family is the only one, my dad has been in poor health, he has to spend 10,000 yuan a year in the hospital, and he has to buy rice and noodles to pay endowment insurance, etc., it is good to save 10,000 yuan a year. As for marrying a daughter-in-law, I can't even think about it. Now our rural girls are breaking their brains and marrying in the town or city. If a rural person like me, who has no education and no good job, wants to marry one, at least 70,000 or 80,000 bride price, and also has to buy a unit (house) in front of the city. Alas...... It's better to be from the city, and one month's salary is enough for us to earn in a year. ”
Huzi let out a long sigh.
"Every place has the stress of life in every place. In fact, it is good for us to marry a daughter-in-law for 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, but to marry a daughter-in-law in a big city, it not only costs hundreds of thousands of dowries, but also has a deposit and a house, and the house is often millions. Ordinary wage earners have been tied to paying their mortgages for most of their lives......"
Jia Qilin looked into the distance through the window and said calmly.
"Ah...... So scary?"
"What do you think ......?"
……
The tricycle drove for about an hour to the county seat. After Huzi sent Jia Qilin to the Wuyi Mall of the county department store wholesale market, he went to the vegetable market to sell vegetables.
"It's been twelve years, and not much has changed. Hurry up. ”
Jia Qilin stood at the door of the mall and looked at it and said.
Today, he not only has to buy some simple daily necessities, but also has to buy a mobile phone, a mobile phone card, and a new bank card.
"Knife, knife and bowl holder cold noodles, black powder oil swirling pig's head ......"
Not far from the door, a stall vendor shouted.
"Mutton, dumplings, lamb haggis, oil cakes, rolling dough ......"
The owner of another stall next to him shouted.
"Stir-fried artichoke fork artichoke foam grinding corn bun ......"
……
The hawkers shouted one after another.
"It's only been an hour since you eat, why can't you help but be hungry when you see so many delicious stomachs?"
Jia Qilin muttered to himself.
"Would you like to have some?"
After all, Jia Qilin couldn't resist the huge temptation of his hometown food and walked over.
"Boss, let's have a knife and a bowl. Put more spicy seeds. ”
"Okay. ”
Jia Qilin sat on a small stool next to the table and swallowed.
This knife bowl tray is his favorite when he was a child, the fragrant and smooth bowl tray with old vinegar sesame and chili oil, the whole tongue bud is sour and refreshing when you eat it.
After three or two bites, a knife and bowl were put on his stomach, and he couldn't help but drink the soup in one gulp, and the sour taste lingered in his mouth, so he couldn't help but swallow his saliva again.
"Boss, one more? ”
Jia Qilin said.
"Hehe, okay. ”
Soon, another knife and bowl tray was served, and Jia Qilin still solved it by dividing it by two, and after drinking the juice, he obviously felt heavy in his stomach.
"I wanted to try the black powder again, but it seems that I can't eat it...... Let's eat it again at noon. ”
Jia Qilin got up and paid the money and entered the gate of Wuyi Mall. On the right side of the door, there is a Unicom business hall, and I walked straight in.
There are many counters in the business hall, and there are mobile phones of major brands in the counters, including Xiaomi, Huawei, Samsung, Apple......
He walked to the Xiaomi counter, and the beautiful shopping guide in black and white overalls next to him immediately walked over.
"Sir, which model of mobile phone do you like, I can take it out and show you first. ”
"Don't look at it, just leave it at that. ”
Jia Qilin pointed to a mobile phone and said.
"Ah...... Oh...... Good good. ”
The beautiful shopping guide was obviously a little surprised, but immediately regained her composure with a happy expression on her face.
The mobile phone that Jia Qilin refers to is the latest Xiaomi Mi 7, more than three thousand, and after the transaction, she can raise nearly two hundred.
The beautiful shopping guide carefully wrapped the mobile phone, took Jia Qilin to the checkout counter, and settled the bill.
"Sir, what more do you want? Do you want to buy a mobile phone for your girlfriend too, we have the latest Apple 8 here, the performance is very good, the price is not expensive, if you buy one for her, she will be very happy." ”
The beautiful shopping guide tentatively guided. When she saw Jia Qilin checking out just now, she clearly saw a thick stack of red tickets in her wallet, at least tens of thousands.
"No, I don't have a girlfriend. ”
After Jia Qilin finished speaking, he walked towards the card business counter, bought a mobile phone, and had to apply for another mobile phone card.
After just a few steps, he stopped.
He felt a man staring at him "casually" in front of the counter on the right side of the door. This "inadvertent" is what is known as stalking.
