Chapter 5 Rush to the market
Ding Yiyi got up early in the morning, she looked at the sky before dawn, freshened up and looked at the sky in a daze, after coming for a long time, she missed her parents more and more, and she didn't know if they were doing well, how was it now, I hope that time stands still at the moment she left, she really can't imagine how sad her parents should be when they lose her, and when she thinks of this, she can't help but shed two lines of tears. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Ding Yiyi remembered the lyrics: "It is said that it can prevent old age, but the mountains and rivers are far away from home", and he can't go back to another country now.
Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, my father and mother also got up. Ding Dashan shouted Ding Yiyi in the courtyard, and Ding Yiyi opened the door and walked out. Ding Dashan is going to the town today to find a blacksmith to repair farm tools, and it is time to plant wheat soon, and the farm tools that should be used are broken and need to be repaired.
The family hurriedly ate breakfast and went to the entrance of the village, the sky has leaked out the white color of the fish belly, the mountains are undulating from a distance, the mountains are golden, it is very good-looking, just like gold all over the ground, but it is not gold, otherwise people will not squeeze their heads to pick up gold, Ding Yiyi feels a little funny.
Seeing Grandpa Li driving the ox cart on the road at the entrance of the village to wait for business from a distance, the family sped a few steps towards the ox cart. "Grandpa Li, are we going to take your ox cart to the town today?" Ding Yiyi asked with a smile. "You're here so early, get in the car!" Grandpa Li smiled kindly at Ding Yiyi.
Ding Yiyi put the small basket on his arm on the ox cart, raised his feet and stepped onto the ox cart, and after sitting down, he picked up his younger brother, and Ding Chen also helped the ox cart to get into the cart. "Uncle Li, please bring their mother and mother to the town, and I will go to the blacksmith to pick up farm tools, so I will leave first. After Ding Dashan finished speaking, he carried the farm tools and left.
"Mother, which is the largest restaurant in the town?" Ding Yiyi wanted to inquire first, and when the time came, the province would spin around like a headless fly. "Yiyi, we don't have money to buy food, it's all because my father and mother have no ability and can't give you a good life. Ding Chen's face was full of guilt, she and Ding Dashan worked hard for a year to take care of the family's food and clothing, the thatched house they lived in should have been renovated a long time ago, the money in their hands was not enough to buy bricks and tiles, seeing that more and more brick houses were built in the village, they only had envy, and when Xiaochen was older, she also went to find a job, so as to build a house as soon as possible.
"Mother, I want to go to the restaurant for something, the food you cook is delicious, let's not spend that unjust money to eat the things in the restaurant." Ding Yiyi looked at her mother's face and hurriedly comforted her mother, she couldn't see her relatives sad in her previous life, and now Ding Dashan's family is her family in another world, and she must treat them well. Ding Chen's hearing her daughter say this, the guilt in her heart decreased slightly, and her daughter was really sensible, which made her very pleased.
Ding Yiyi was thinking about how to apply the sales knowledge she had learned in her previous work-study years to ancient times, so that she could sell her dates.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Ding Shizhu's daughter-in-law in the village took her little daughter to sit in an ox cart, and Ding Guangfu's daughter-in-law came with her. The ox cart was already full of these people, and Grandpa Li beckoned everyone to sit down and shouted at the ox cart to set off. Ding Yiyi took the ox cart for the first time and only felt that the ox cart was very bumpy, which can be described as turtle speed compared with modern cars.
Along the way, everyone talked and laughed and didn't feel how difficult it was, and after a while, they met Ding Dashan, Ding Chen said hello to him, and the ox cart continued to move forward, and after about half an hour later, they arrived in the town, and after a group of hot and laughing goodbyes, Ding Yiyi followed her mother to buy rice grain. Ding Chen bought five catties of brown rice, one catty of salt, and some spices and left the grain store. Xiao Chen gnawed his fingers in Ding Chen's arms and watched the people coming and going on the street, and he didn't cry. Niang San went to the meat stall and cut three taels of fatty meat, bought two pork bones, refined the fat meat, and boiled the pork bones into soup.
Ding Yiyi saw that she had bought all the things, so she asked her mother to take her to the restaurant, and walked to the door of the restaurant, as soon as Ding Yiyi and Ding Chen walked into the door, Xiao Er greeted her with a smile on her face: "What are you two going to do?" Ding Yiyi showed her intentions, lifted the cloth on the basket and took out a date and handed it to Xiao Er. After tasting it, Xiao Er felt that his mouth was full of sweetness, and his lips and teeth were fragrant, Xiao Er asked the two to wait for a while, and he went to the back to report. Ding Yiyi asked her mother to sit on a stool and wait, and she stood aside with a small basket on her shoulder.
After a while, the shopkeeper came out: "I heard Xiao Er say that the dates you make are delicious, can you let me taste them?" Ding Yiyi handed the dates to the shopkeeper, who looked at the dates that were shining with an attractive luster, picked one up and put it in his mouth, which had the fragrance of honey: "Little girl, this date should not be difficult to make, say, how much silver do you want? Sell us the recipe." "The shopkeeper is really shrewd, and at a glance he knows that this date method is simple. "The shopkeeper looks at it, I just think it's okay to think about it, the method is really simple, but it's just a snack to eat, this time I just gave the shopkeeper a taste, I hope we can cooperate for a long time in the future, I still have a lot of pastry recipes at home, I don't know if we can agree. ”
The shopkeeper listened: This little girl is sharp-toothed, if her family can really make good pastries and meals, she can also make a fortune in the restaurant, but I don't know if this little girl has lied to him, looking at the mother and daughter three like ordinary farmers, should not be able to make anything good, you might as well leave some leeway, buy the date recipe, put a long line to catch big fish, and there is not much loss if you can't catch fish.
Ding Yiyi looked at the shopkeeper's eyes and knew that he didn't believe his words: "Shopkeeper, if you can't trust me, then forget it." ”
The shopkeeper thought to himself, this little girl is not simple, he can actually see his thoughts, and hurriedly said: "The little girl's words are wrong, I am just thinking about how much silver is appropriate for you, and we can't take advantage of you in such a big restaurant." The shopkeeper turned his head and called the account room: "Go and get ten taels of silver to this sister-in-law." The bookkeeper turned and took the money. Ding Yiyi thought to herself: This shopkeeper is really a profiteer, although her recipe is simple, but it is not only these silver taels, in order for her to endure it in the future, she must open her own restaurant when she makes money in the future, so it is too much of a loss to give others ideas.
Thinking so, after the bookkeeper handed over the silver to Ding Chen, Ding Yiyi and the shopkeeper went to the private room to dictate the recipe, and after the shopkeeper wrote it down, Ding Yiyi took his leave.
She wants to go back with her mother before lunch, and if she doesn't go back, she won't be able to catch up with the ox cart, and her father may have gone back.
