Volume 1 Chapter 52: Cutting Meat and Making Dumplings
got up early in the morning and had a simple breakfast, Pei Qin led Pei Wendong out of the door.
In view of Siya's strong protest, the Fang family only gave Pei Qin five yuan.
Pei Qin was not too little, with a few pennies, the sister and brother left the village.
Zhang Dalang also came out of the village with two bundles of dry firewood, and when he saw that she was leading her younger brother out of the house, she was also going to the market, and her lips moved.
Pei Qin had already forgotten about him, only swept his eyes widely, and continued to walk forward.
Zhang Dalang's eyes were gloomy, and he couldn't help but feel sad. was unwilling to elope with him, and even ignored him. Seeing that you pretend not to know him, are you so tired of him!?
Pei Wendong glanced at him twice, but seeing that Pei Qin didn't say anything, he strode forward and hurriedly trotted to follow.
The people I met, one after the other, thought that they were going to the town to have a private meeting.
Pei Qin didn't feel it at all, and when she arrived at the set, she asked Pei Wendong, "Boy!" Have you made it over? ”
Houshan Village is so close to Taiping Town, Pei Wendong naturally rushed to the set, but only twice, "I rushed during the New Year." ”
Pei Qin crossed the bridge and bought a string of sugar gourds for two pennies for him.
Pei Wendong looked at the sugar gourd wrapped in syrup in surprise and was a little incredulous.
"Let's eat!" Pei Qin took him and continued to walk.
With such joy and happiness, Pei Wendong didn't dare to eat alone, so he took her, "Eldest sister, eat it!" I... I'll just eat one. The remaining three were just taken home for my mother and the third and fourth sisters to eat.
Pei Qin looked down at him, took it with a smile, bit off one, and handed it to him.
Pei Wendong cautiously added one.
Zhang Dalang came to sell firewood, but he followed her all the way, and when he saw her smiling and paying money to buy sugar gourds for her younger brother, he led him to turn a corner, and turned another alley to sell firewood.
Pei Qin led Pei Wendong to the door of Sun Tiezhu's house and knocked on the door.
Grandma opened the door, "Oops! Xiao Pei! I've been waiting for you for two days, and I haven't seen you coming! "Hurry up and let their brother and sister in.
Sun Tiezhu was not at home, so he went out to sell things after making them.
"But it's on the set today! Wait a minute, I'll call him!" The grandmother called her daughter-in-law and went out.
Zou took the shelf and wooden hanger made by Sun Tiezhu, "This hanger is so convenient to support clothes!" It's this clip, it's not done well. ”
Pei Qin took it and studied it, the middle of the clamp was supported by an iron ring, but Sun Tiezhu's iron ring was not good, "Just try a few more times!" ”
Outside, Sun Tiezhu soon returned, "That... I'll get you the money! ”
The money for the starter was last time Pei Qin took a penny, and there were 1,500 Wen.
This time, Sun Tiezhu took it out directly, and said embarrassedly, "Originally, it was all for you at once, and there was nothing left after paying off some accounts." ”
As long as you have money, Pei Qin doesn't care if she finishes giving it all at once, "It's too heavy to hold this money, or change it to a silver slot!" ”
"There is no silver left in the house, only copper plates. Why don't I go out and help you change! Sun Tiezhu scratched his head.
"Forget it! Copper plate is copper plate! Pei Qin asked him not to bother, and told him what kind of wire he had to twist to make a clamp.
Sun Tiezhu was busy talking about giving money.
"Don't worry about this money, just give some when you sell something. I came to Brother Sun today to make a hand-cart. Pei Qin finished here.
Over there, Zou already took a pen and paper with a look in his eyes.
Pei Qin smiled, drew the luggage trolley, and explained it to Sun Tiezhu. I drew a shopping cart with four wheels and buckets.
Sun Tiezhu praised Pei Qin when he heard it, "If these two things are made, it will be really convenient!" Xiao Pei, you are really amazing, you don't even know what to think in this brain, you can come up with these things! ”
Zou was also happy to listen, "Xiao Pei! These two trolleys, carts, you can still hand it over to us! It's the same as a screwdriver, and if it's sold, you'll get a penny! We score less, you score more! ”
"It's not necessary to divide more, this wheel is not easy to do, you try to find cork, otherwise it will not be easy to pull." Make it stronger, make me two for home use first! Pei Qin smiled.
Sun Tiezhu is not at home these days, he is running outside to sell things, and he finally met Pei Qin once, so he wanted to negotiate the price.
"Don't be in a hurry to sell a few, I'll come back in two days, see what the quality is, and then set a price!" Pei Qin said that he was determined, and took Pei Wendong to leave.
Zou saw that she was far away, so he turned around and said to Sun Tiezhu, who was looking at the drawings, "We will really meet a nobleman!" These few strange things are practical, and the money from the sale can pay off the arrears! Ah! It was her brother who was with Xiao Pei just now! I don't have anything to eat at home, and I forgot to say hello! A little baby, who didn't even stutter when she came to our house..."
"I see that Xiao Pei is very arrogant, and he is full of energy, and he won't mind this. I'm going to call Zou Xing to help, make things, and give them more money! Sun Tiezhu said, thinking that there were other carpenters on the set who made starters to sell, and said to himself, "This time I have to save some money and make more money." ”
Pei Qin has money again. led Pei Wendong to buy snacks and sugar, and saw that Pei Houli was also setting up a stall at the market, and the things he sold turned out to be starters.
"Big girl! Shall you also come to the market? Did you come by yourself, or did you come with your mother!? Pei Houli saw them, beckoned and spoke, and looked behind her.
"Uncle." Pei Wendong whispered hello and tightly pinched the sugar gourd skewer in his hand.
Pei Qin only looked at it, then turned around and entered the dim sum shop, and bought a box of mung bean cakes, a box of kidney bean rolls, and a bag of caramel candy.
Pei Houli saw her buying snacks, and he didn't know whether to eat them by himself or go to relatives, but he was sure that she had really earned money, and she couldn't help but wonder. That bamboo rat can really be sold for money, but how did they catch it?
Pei Qin cut more than three catties of meat, rubbed a bunch of cheap big bones, bought a bamboo basket to hold it, and bought thirty eggs in one go, and then beckoned Pei Wendong home.
Pei Houli looked at her posture of buying those things and spending money at will, and his heart was not calm. That bamboo rat is so profitable!?
When the sister and brother returned home, Siya was even more uneasy, and jumped up directly, "You went to get the money and spent it again!?" ”
Fang and Sanya looked at the meat and eggs they bought, and they were also a little stunned.
Pei Qin threw the remaining money on the kang, "I took it consistently, and I didn't spend it." ”
Siya hurriedly went to count the money, and said angrily, "It cost hundreds of Wen again!" ”
Pei Qin looked at Fang and Sanya, "It's more than two hundred words." ”
"When I went out, I gave you five cents, and you spent more than two hundred... Hmm...... "Before Siya finished speaking, Pei Qin stuffed a kidney bean roll into her mouth.
"Talk less, eat more!" Bai glanced at her, Pei Qin put the dim sum on the small table, beckoned Fang and Sanya to eat it too, she pinched a piece of mung bean cake and took it out, and took out the meat, "Go to the noodles first, and make dumplings to eat at noon!" ”
As soon as he heard about eating dumplings, Siya stopped talking. They still ate a meal of dumplings on August 15, and most of their bowls were vegetarian, with more meat and less meat, and there were not a few.
Fang's eyes were sour, and when he got up, he went to make noodles, "Mother will make dumplings for you!" ”
"Just the meat and green onions!" Pei Qin quickly peeled the green onion and threw it into the basin.
The sound of chopping meat sounded, and a few people suddenly gathered at the gate of the small courtyard.
