Chapter 385: Fire
The fingers are still recovering, and they have not been in good health recently, and they are drowsy and weak, and they are slowly adjusting. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info At the end of the month, ask for a ticket n(*≧▽≦*)n
Although Tian rolled her eyes angrily, she did not scold Xia Zhi. On the one hand, now she doesn't dare to beat and scold Xia Zhi casually, on the other hand, she thinks about it herself, and she has to admit that what Xia Zhi said makes sense.
Although this is the case, it does not mean that Tian does not complain about the summer solstice in his heart.
Although the truth is that truth, the summer solstice is capable. Tian still felt that Xia Zhi was not wholeheartedly concerned about himself and his mother's affairs, that is, he was not very concerned.
"It's going to change the backyard and the old couple told her, you see if she agrees. Tian muttered in a low voice, she didn't think about it at all, would Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia make excessive demands on Xia Zhi?
I didn't have it before, and I'm afraid it won't be in the future.
Tian deliberately didn't think about it. She pondered in the hall for a while, and when she heard that the three girls in the west room seemed to have packed up and gone to sleep, she slowly walked back to the east room.
The eldest girl was still crying, and the second girl's eyes were also red, and she comforted the eldest girl in a low voice. Hearing Tian come back, both girls raised their heads. There was anticipation in their eyes.
Tian's heart was even more uncomfortable. "Let's get off early. "I don't mention what I just did. The eldest girl and the second girl knew that the Tian family had not been able to convince Xia Zhi when they chased him out.
But Shopkeeper Liu can be said to be the last straw for the eldest girl, and the only hope she sees for her future life. knew that it was unlikely, but the eldest girl still couldn't help but ask Tian. "Aunt, what did you say about the summer solstice, the summer solstice. I just want to meet my master, maybe I'll ......."
"Let's talk about it later......" Tian said vaguely, and let the eldest girl and the second girl go to rest.
The summer solstice returned to the Westinghouse, and after resting for two hours, he was busy again. Sun Lan'er and Channier got up with her. The three girls freshened up and went to the backyard.
The cakes were prepared last night, but the lamb soup had to be boiled in the first pot in the morning. When they reached the backyard, the people in the upper room and the west wing were all up and were busy with their own work. The lights in the east wing had just come on.
Second Uncle Xia's family got up late, but Old Man Xia couldn't stand it and called them up. Second Uncle Xia also came out to explain, saying that he was too late preparing meat skewers yesterday, so he got up late today.
Everything that should be prepared is ready, even if you get up late, you won't delay it.
This is what Second Uncle Xia said.
Old Man Xia had a calm face. He originally wanted to count down Second Uncle Xia, but then he thought that this was the first time that Second Uncle Xia was out of the stall, and if he split his head, he would be scolded, but he was afraid that the omen would be bad, and he was also afraid that it would hit the enthusiasm of Second Uncle Xia's family.
Thinking like this, Old Man Xia suppressed his anger and only told Second Uncle Xia that he couldn't get up late in the future.
When Sun Lan'er and Qian Ni'er arrived in the backyard, they immediately took firewood with Mrs. Xia and boiled the first pot of mutton soup. This pot of mutton soup had been boiled twice before they left last night, and if they boiled it again now, not only would the taste be stronger, but it would be hot when it was packed in a bucket and transported to Linshui Town, as long as it was lit under the cauldron on the stall, it would be open for business.
With this pot of thick soup as a base, their business will be easy to do today.
Xia Zhi helped out outside for a while, and then came to the landlord's house. The little black fish slept late last night, didn't get up in the morning, and is now sleeping in the bed. Xia Zhi walked over and gently pinched the little black fish's red face, but the little black fish didn't wake up.
Daqing also followed, looking up to call. Xia Zhi hurriedly gestured to Daqing, Daqing snorted lowly, and really didn't scream, just put the two furry front paws on the edge of the kang, and the big head rested on the hairy paws and looked at the little black fish with wet eyes.
Daqing is like this, even if he doesn't make a sound, the little black fish is guaranteed to wake up after a while.
Xia Solstice wanted to take Daqing away. Mrs. Xia walked in and asked her not to bother: "Your uncle should also wake up." If he gets up late and doesn't catch anything, he'll have to make a fuss then. ”
The little black fish is definitely going to follow the stall.
"Then we'll be back early today. "The summer solstice said.
"Can you come back early?" Old Lady Xia was not sure. Although Xia Solstice said it well, after all, this business is the first day of business, and no one knows what the final result will be.
"Absolutely. Xia Zhi said with a smile. She was very confident in the mutton soup and baked cakes made by Mrs. Xia. And it's approaching the end of the year, and there are definitely more people rushing to the market, and there are definitely more people who are willing to spend money than usual.
It's been a busy year, but don't you just want to have a good year?
"Milk, what else do you need for the New Year, you tell me, I will buy it back when I see it. It's definitely cheaper to buy now than to buy in front of you. Xia Zhi discussed with Mrs. Xia again.
"What else do you want to buy, you don't have to buy anything, the things you brought back from Fucheng are enough for the New Year, and there are other things at home. Mrs. Xia said with a smile.
Although she said so, Xia Solstice still planned to start buying supplies for the New Year.
While the grandfather and grandson were talking in a low voice, the little black fish woke up. Before he could open his eyes, he stretched out his arm and hugged Daqing. Daqing happily shook his hairy tail out of the shadow.
It's another day full of energy and joy.
The little black fish stretched, and a carp got up from the bed.
Mrs. Xia was busy helping the little black fish get dressed and tidy up: "Look at your skin, you don't have to get up well, this even jumping, there is no stopping energy......"
When the little black fish is cleaned up, breakfast is ready.
The three groups of people each eat one, Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er eat at Uncle Xia's house, they help Uncle Xia, and Uncle Xia also takes care of food in addition to wages.
The meal at noon for a while was also eaten separately, after all, Second Uncle Xia's family was also in business. When the time comes, whoever does a good job will have the money to prepare a more sumptuous meal.
It's also an incentive.
After breakfast, when everyone in the Xia family was ready to leave, it was not yet dawn.
Because the money is here, the three gangs are doing business, and the big guys have cars to do. Qian Yuelai didn't go back to his house this time, he lived in Daxingzhuang for a few days, and today he also went to the market with the Xia family to continue his cattle, sheep, mules and horses business.
Old Man Xia, Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish didn't get in the car. Even if it is a car with more money, so many people and guys are crowded enough.
Old Man Xia rode Xiao Gray with the little black fish in his arms, and Xia Zhi rode Big Gray, and followed behind the two cars.
“…… Thanks to the month of this car today, it will be a matter of time in the future. Old Man Xia said to Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi nodded: "If my second uncle's business grows for a long time, he will have to buy livestock and tie the cart, anyway, he will use it for farming in the future." "The car that Uncle Xia is driving now is a partnership between Old Man Xia, Third Uncle Xia and Xia Zhi. When you want to use it, of course, you have to use it with the three of them first.
Old Man Xia nodded: "Yes, it's just for a while, I'm afraid he can't afford it." ”
Xia Zhi smiled: "Aren't there still big ashes and little ashes?" ”
"The two donkeys have never pulled the cart. Old Man Xia sighed. Big Ash and Little Ash are a bit delicate. The big ash is from the summer solstice, and the little ash is still from Li Xia. In addition to being used for leg strength, if you really want to let these two donkeys do heavy work, Old Man Xia always feels that he is not too happy to go.
In the past, three members of the family tied a car together, which was usually enough. When the farm is busy, you can borrow or hire a car. But now that Second Uncle Xia's family is back, this car is not enough.
The second family is a drag on people.
If they are diligent and duty-bound people, and they encounter natural and man-made disasters, it is certain that the family will do their best to help. But that's not the case.
Old man Xia sighed in his heart, the second son was not angry, and he didn't give him a long face. It is not easy for him to say that he wants to fight for the interests of his second son.
After thinking about it in his heart, Old Man Xia also reviewed himself, he couldn't continue to condone and get used to his second son's family, he had to let them suffer a little more, so that he could remember it for a long time in the future. When he's gone, there's no need to be so relieved.
"They don't need any big guys for that business, so if they can store it, they will find a place to store it. Let them bring their own things they usually want to bring, and they don't have to take the car, so they can leave early in the morning. Old Man Xia said loudly.
Not only did Xia Zhi hear this, but also Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia, who were sitting in the car in front. In addition to May and Xiao Xia Yang, Second Uncle Xia's family and Guo Xi's family of three are all here today. They were huddled in a car, and there were a lot of things on it, almost on top of each other.
In this way, they did not say who came down for a walk.
Xia Zhi smiled secretly in his heart, understanding that Old Man Xia would not give the big ash and little ash to Second Uncle Xia. It is estimated that the big gray still borrowed the light of the small gray.
Little Ash is Li Xia's donkey. Old Man Xia must be embarrassed to let Xiao Ash pull the car for Second Uncle Xia.
Old Man Xia decided like this, of course Xia Zhi would not mention the matter of lending Big Ash and Little Ash to Second Uncle Xia.
Wax Moon is the coldest month of the year in Pak Chin Province. In the early morning of the wax moon, the sky will be bright and unclear, and this is the coldest time of the day. Xia Zhi sat on the back of the big gray in full gear, and the two legs were also covered with cotton specially prepared by Mrs. Xia, although the cold wind could not blow through, but he could still feel the cold.
This kind of coldness is very refreshing.
When I arrived at the market, the sky was just white. They come early, and others are not late. The vague figures in the bazaar, these are the people who did business in the early days. Everybody is making hard-earned money.
Although it is hard, no one will complain if you can make money. After all, for the villagers, they work hard for a year, and the main thing they get is food, and they rarely see the money for activities.
The so-called activity money, that is, liquidity, cash.
Without agriculture, there is no stability, and without food, the society will be in danger of starvation. No business, no wealth, no circulation, no money, no wealth.
Xia Zhi knew this sentence a long time ago, but she only experienced it in the past few months.
Everyone got out of the car and was busy setting up stalls. Uncle Xia San's group of people are cooked, and the sheep soup is watched by Xia Zhi himself. Qian Yuelai didn't go to help Uncle Xia, but came to help Xia Zhi.
Second Uncle Xia was a little busy there, and Old Man Xia was in charge and helped with the work himself. Xia Solstice also took the time to go over and watch it twice. What to do, what to pay attention to, everything she could think of was carefully told to Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia. The rest is the sentence: Master leads the door, and the cultivation is in the individual.
Second Uncle Xia's business is doing well, and Xia Zhi will not take credit. If Second Uncle Xia's business is not doing well, it is Second Uncle Xia's own problem.
The three stalls are next to each other, and they are all ready one after another.
The first one to open turned out to be the sheep soup on the summer solstice.
On such a cold day, it is really practical and comfortable to drink a bowl of hot and fragrant mutton soup in the morning, plus two cakes.
Sun Lan'er and Qian Ni'er were happily busy. Speaking of which, this is the first time that the two girls have shown their heads, but most of the people who rush to the market are simple villagers, and once people are busy, everything they think about is serious, and everything else is nothing.
Sun Lan'er and Qian Nier are not shy, they have no time to be shy. The two girls are used to working at home, and they are grateful to Xia Solstice for helping them, and they have worked hard.
With the first guest, soon there was a second, and a third......
Many people praised the sheep soup as good.
The mutton soup boiled out by Mrs. Xia is milky white and very fragrant. People who know the industry say that this soup is real, and the craftsmanship of boiling is good.
There are also people who like to eat the cakes baked by Mrs. Xia, and after eating, they buy two more and take them away.
On the third pole of the day, Xia Qiao helped pick up the water twice, and added ingredients to the soup twice. The business of mutton soup is naturally better than that of Second Uncle Xia, and it also surpasses that of Third Uncle Xia.
Xiao Shu'er happily ran to help Sun Lan'er and Qian Ni'er.
Uncle Xia's business is not to worry about. Second Uncle Xia's stall also has customers. Whether it is the mutton soup or Uncle Xia's stall, as long as there are guests, everyone will help promote Second Uncle Xia's barbecue.
Xia Zhi felt that for Second Uncle Xia, who came out of the stall on the first day, his barbecue business was already good.
But Second Uncle Xia was in a hurry, especially when he saw that Sun Lan'er and Qian Nier were almost too busy collecting money, he was a little angry. Second Uncle Xia couldn't hide something in his heart.
This is a very euphemistic and kind statement, if it is said bluntly, Second Uncle Xia must not suffer a little loss, but if he is a little uncomfortable, he has to say it.
Second Uncle Xia came over and told Xia Zhi that the business of mutton soup was good. “…… I said I'd do it. Sixteen, you still care about this little money! You see I'm idle over there, and it's cold and cold in winter, so you should rest at home with your uncle at sixteen......
"Sixteen and I are not at home, and this business cannot be given to you. "The little black fish just went to Uncle Xia's stall to eat some French fries, and walked back just in time to hear Second Uncle Xia's words.
The little black fish doesn't beat around the bush, he is all directly scolded. “…… Sixteen, I will consult with you first, and I will do it for you. You don't like it, you don't like that. Now that you see that you are making money, you are red-eyed again. Don't bully Sixteen Good Talk, you tell me!"
