Section 30 Steamed buns
But Yu Fang wants to go, there are not many opportunities, she has just given birth to her daughter, the little doll is about to feed when she opens her eyes, basically she can't leave the sight, her husband and father-in-law are also at home for different reasons, so naturally she can't go out and play crazy like Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao? After breakfast, she called Luli to her, "Come here, my aunt has something to tell you." β
Lu Li obediently walked up to her, Yu Fang was holding the baby girl in her arms, the latter was holding her mother's room with her little hands, squeaking hard, milk would overflow from the corners of her mouth from time to time, Lu Li was very greedy! My aunt and sister told me that he grew up eating stick batter, rice porridge, and white batter - so my sister always laughed at him, saying that he grew up eating batter, and now his head is full of batter!
"Xiaoxiao, my aunt asked you." Yu Fang said, "Where did you pick up all this waste? Anything else? β
Lu Li was startled and hurriedly took a few steps back, "I...... I, I, I, ...... I, I'll ...... No, no, no, no, no......"
"Don't be afraid, your aunt won't beat you," Yu Fang said, "If there is, get more in the future, you know?" β
Lu Li didn't want this to be the result, and immediately smiled, and nodded vigorously, "Hmm! I...... I'm me, I'm here! β
"Also, don't let your uncle know, and don't tell your grandfather, you will go in a while, and when you come back with the money, your aunt will go out to buy you buns."
Hearing that there were steamed buns to eat, thinking of the mouthful of oily steamed buns, the unique mellow and greasy aroma of pork filling, Lu Li was so greedy that he almost drooled! I can't wait for a moment," I ...... I'm me, I'm me, now...... Just go! β
"Wait a minute!" Yu Fang stopped him again, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and opened it to see money and food stamps inside, "Give you food stamps, and buy the buns back in Nanshi in a while, do you hear?" β
"Hey!" Lu Li took a pound and five taels of food stamps, put them in his pocket, turned around and pushed the cart, and went straight out of the city. This time it was a light car, in accordance with my aunt's 'will', and there were buns waiting not far away, under the agitation of the mood, the action was even faster, first I forgot to find the tools here, and dug a few pits on the ground indiscriminately, too big iron ingots could not move, so I had to move small pieces, turn around to look at the large pieces, how not willing to throw them down like this, the child was so tired that he was panting, after all, it still didn't work!
Luli rested for a while, looked at the iron on the ground and used his brain, how to get it to the car? After pondering for a while, I finally had a solution: dig up the dirt around the iron, push the board cart, use it as a lever, and pry it violently! The piece of iron moved a few times, lost the block of the dirt below, and landed on the board cart with a bang, but it was too heavy and knocked the cart over!
Luli is so angry! I did the same thing once, and finally got this big guy into the car - with such a big one, the other small pieces scattered around were not needed. Pick up the cart and head straight to the scrap yard! The aunt who collected the scrap still recognized him, and she didn't want him to come back so soon, "Or you?" This is also picked up? β
"............" Lu Li was so tired that he was panting, ignoring her, just nodding.
"I'll see, it's big! How did you get it? "Weigh the iron and weigh it more than seventy-four pounds! This time, she didn't ask, counted the 11.89 yuan bills, and handed them to the child, "Take it, don't drop it?" β
Luli's heart was pounding, and he couldn't say a word for a long time looking at the big unity in his hand!
Push the cart home, put the board cart away, wash your hands and face, turn your head and go straight to Nanshi - there are many steamed bun shops in Tian (Tianjin), although the reputation of Gou Buli is the largest, but in fact, Tian (Tianjin) people rarely go to Gou Buli to buy, this is not only because of the distance of the distance, but also because the taste of each steamed bun is similar, there is not a lot of difference.
The bun shop was overcrowded, five cents per catty, handed money and food stamps at the window, took a piece of paper with a number, and waited in the bun shop; There are a lot of guests in the seating room who are dining - if you are alone, you can buy a few buns for one yuan, buy a boiled prawn, and then ask for a bowl of rice, and you can eat comfortably.
The smell of wine, meat, and garlic are entangled, and there is an indescribable smell in the air, and through the huge glass window, inside is the rice room and the cage drawer, and every time a pot is steamed, the small window is full of guests, waiting for the shouting inside, "No. 12, half a catty; No. 13, six taels; No. 14 three two! "Every time I called one, I handed out a plate with white flowers, hot buns, and a piece of greased paper on the side of the plate, on which were the numbers and catties written. Luli looked at his note, it was number 44, and there were others!
At this moment, Lu Li suddenly found a familiar figure, it was Ma Wenshi? What is he here for? Also buy buns?
Ma Wenshi did come to buy steamed buns, his position was very high, a few positions were lined up, and his number was called inside, "No. 19?" Seven taels. β
"Here, here." Ma Wenshi agreed, handed in a small pot, loaded the buns, and turned out. Luli turned his brain, put his small pot aside, and followed.
Ma Wenshi didn't ride a bicycle, his house was very close to here, and it only took three or five minutes to walk. Lu Li scolded in his heart, and he stayed away from afar, until he watched Ma Wenshi return home, a woman greeted him, and the two of them entered the house hand in hand, Lu Li identified the surrounding environment and confirmed that he could remember it next time, and then turned around and left.
Go back to the bun shop, find your own small pot, and wait until someone shouts "No. 44, one and a half catties!" He hurriedly stepped forward, took the two plates with both hands, lightly placed them in the small pot he carried with him, picked up the small pot, and ran away as soon as he went outβthe buns would not taste good when they were cold!
When I got home, my uncle and aunt couldn't wait, chopsticks, vinegar, and garlic were ready, and this steamed bun was not only a rare delicacy for Lu Li, but also for the whole family.
By the time the adults and children had eaten and put down the chopsticks in satisfaction, Lu Li had already added vinegar to the bowl three times in a row! Looking at the table, the buns in the three plates were swept away, and there was not even one left, oops, I should have sent a few to Mr. Yang to taste, why did I eat them all? "Oh," Wu Baokun sighed comfortably, "I've got a little help now." (Note 1)
"Xiaoxiao, how much did it sell?"
Lu Li took out the change money and put it on the table, Wu Jihou glared at him, "Don't wait for the adults to ask next time?" Something that doesn't have rules! β
"Grandpa, don't talk about the child like that, Xiaoxiao is also hungry, so I forgot about it." Yu Fang said.
"It's for him to remember his last name for a long time." Wu Jihou said, "Why don't you ask?" Don't take it out? The family gives money to give money, and the money to buy things is hidden by one person? Lack of virtue stuff, die with his father! β
Lu Li felt aggrieved, it wasn't that he didn't take the money out, he really forgot as his aunt said! Why does Grandpa say that about himself? "Dad," Wu Baokun explained to his nephew on the side, "This is a small amount of money from selling scrap products, not from Yu Fang." β
Wu Jihou was stunned for a moment, knowing that he had blamed his grandson, but as soon as he saw his beautiful face of cool Xiao Nai's mother, he thought of his daughter, and hated his father even more, gave him a blank look, and stopped talking.
