Chapter 30: The First Triumph
Seeing that his mother still didn't let him go.
Zhao Tianlei smiled like a little fox, Zhao Jiabao was concentrating on making lanterns, and he didn't notice the smile on Zhao Tianlei's face.
Lin Liangchen didn't expect that her son had already dealt with Zhao Jiabao, and she was still talking to Aunt Sun about troublesome things for her man.
"It's okay, it's okay to have Xiao Lei with him, so that he doesn't have nothing to do at home."
After the two said yes, they concentrated on making this glutinous rice ball, and Zhao Tianlei, who understood Zhao Jiabao, is now very happy, and after saying a few compliments to Zhao Jiabao, he ran back.
As soon as Zhao Tianlei left, Zhao Jiabao began to shake his head, this son is really ghostly, not like him at all, Zhao Jiabao's mind flashed quickly, and he didn't have time to catch it all of a sudden.
The Yu family, who had paid attention to the Zhao Jiabao brothers, came over, saw the two of them cutting bamboo, and asked curiously: "Fourth, what are you and the fifth doing with this?" β
Zhao Jiabao and Zhao Jiafu did not speak very tacitly, and Yu saw that the two of them were silent, and chattered for a while, but they couldn't help it before they moved.
"What does it mean that the old lady is talking to you, what do you mean by ignoring you?"
I had been in trouble for a few days because of Li Zhuang's affairs before, and now the things are coming back, and the money is coming back, so the Yu family has nothing to do, and he can finally come out with his head held high.
Zhao Jiabao raised his eyes and glanced at Yu, "Mother, we don't mean anything, don't think about it, if it's okay, you can go back, my fifth brother and I are busy here?" β
After Li Zhuang's incident, Zhao Jiabao was not too enthusiastic about Yu's cousin.
Zhao Jiafu has not said a word since then.
"You two rabbit cubs, the old lady cares about you kindly, and she thinks I'm verbose, okay. I don't bother to care about you. β
After Yu finished speaking, he snorted twice and left without looking back.
With Yu gone, Zhao Jiabao and Zhao Jiafu can concentrate more on their work.
made a day's dumplings, and the time passed quickly, and in the evening, Aunt Sun and Lin Liangchen said that they would come back tomorrow, and then they went back.
Lin Liangchen said, "Auntie, it's better to go back after eating." β
Aunt Sun shook her head, "No, I'll eat it with you again." My family and my son are afraid that they will go hungry. β
Liangchen's kindness, she understood it.
"Okay, I won't keep it anymore, my aunt walks slowly-"
Aunt Sun nodded and said to Lin Liangchen: "It's not a few steps. Don't give it away. β
"Okay, my aunt will come over early tomorrowβ"
watched Aunt Sun leave. Lin Liangchen prepared dinner. After a busy day, this stomach has long been hungry.
Zhao Jiabao and Zhao Jiafu didn't need Lin Liangchen to call, seeing that the time was not early, they also called it a day and came over to help make dinner, and when they were eating, Lin Liangchen asked, "How are your lanterns doing?" Are you sure you can do it? β
"Fourth sister-in-law, you can rest assured. My fourth brother and I will rush to work again tonight, and we will have another day tomorrow, which is enough, and we will make money by then. We will definitely not forget the benefits of your fourth sister-in-law. β
Lin Liangchen gave Zhao Jiafu a look that counted you as having some conscience, and said: "Forget the benefits, if you really make money, just buy me some food and come back, this rice tank is almost empty, you brothers"
Needless to say, Zhao Jiabao also knew that they must have eaten too much, and the grain that could have been eaten for half a month turned out to be almost eaten in seven days.
"Liangchen, you can rest assured, if we really sell for money, we will definitely buy grain and come back." Zhao Jiabao swore an oath, looking at Lin Liangchen's eyes full of tenderness and sweetness.
Lin Liangchen ignored Zhao Jiabao's eyes and buried his head in eating.
The second day was the fifteenth, and early in the morning, Lin Liangchen pushed out the small cart that had been useless for a while, wiped it clean, and put the rice balls made yesterday on it.
After breakfast, as soon as Aunt Sun came, Lin Liangchen settled Zhao Tianlei and set off with Aunt Sun.
As soon as Lin Liangchen and Aunt Sun left, Zhao Tianlei ran back from Fang's house and stayed with Zhao Jiabao and the brothers.
asked his son if Fang Dayong had seen Zhao Tianlei, and Fang Dayong said that he hadn't seen anyone.
Fang Yongfu put the candy in his hand on the table, and went out to find someone, looking around, Fang Yongfu remembered to go to Zhao's house, and saw Zhao Tianlei jumping around outside the courtyard, Fang Yongfu was immediately relieved.
Thinking of the grievances between his family and the Zhao family, he still couldn't go into the yard in the end, and after a few glances at Zhao Tianlei, he went back with confidence.
Lin Liangchen didn't know that his son was so naughty, sent him to Aunt Sun's house, and ran back by himself, if he knew, he would definitely catch him and beat him up, at this time Lin Liangchen and Aunt Sun had already left Dahe Village and walked on the way to the town.
Since it was still morning, Liangchen didn't dare to boil the rice balls and sell them, if they were really boiled and sold, but no one had anything to pack, so they had to sell uncooked ones.
This is the first time that Aunt Sun has gone to sell things with Lin Liangchen, and she was excited along the way, she was even happier than selling things herself, and asked Lin Liangchen what price she wanted to sell for this rice ball.
Lin Liangchen thought for a while and said, "It's a penny." "This glutinous rice ball is not easy to weigh, so it is better to sell a few of them, and it can be worth a little.
Aunt Sun was speechless, "Isn't this price too high?" β
"What about my aunt's words?" Lin Liangchen planned to listen to what Aunt Sun said.
"If you want me to say, it's better to have two for a pennyβ"
Aunt Sun is always a country woman, and she doesn't have much knowledge, so she thinks that two rice balls for one penny are also considered to be the sky, after all, the meat buns are also two pennies a piece, right?
Lin Liangchen laughed out loud after hearing this, "My good aunt, if this glutinous rice ball is sold like this, we will definitely not make money." β
Two rice balls for a penny? The cost alone is not enough, plus they made a day's dumplings, what about the labor cost? And what about the booth fee?
In the end, it can only be a loss.
When Aunt Sun heard Lin Liangchen say this, she didn't speak anymore, "In that case, I won't forget about feelings." β
She thought that the price of two rice balls for one penny was very fair, but she didn't expect that she would not make money, and it seems that she is still not as knowledgeable as Liangchen. I don't understand that number.
"Yes, but don't be upset, auntie, when we get to the town later, as long as someone asks, you will say that you have a penny, and the same is true for those who have copper coins-"
Aunt Sun nodded in disbelief, and said stunned: "Then it's decided, but Liangchen, don't think my aunt is slow to react." β
"Of course not, I'll report the number later, Aunt Sun, you can get rice balls for others." That way you won't be confused. β
Hearing Lin Liangchen say this, Aunt Sun grinned.
When he arrived in the town, Lin Liangchen first went to pay the booth fee, received the sign, and then pushed the car. I went to find a place with my aunt.
The people in the town today are really as Lin Liangchen thought. There are people coming and going everywhere.
I found a vacant seat. Stopping the cart, Lin Liangchen began to sell, after all, it was the first time for Aunt Sun to do this kind of selling, she was a little embarrassed, Lin Liangchen didn't force her, let her watch. Just sell it yourself.
Before the Chinese New Year, Lin Liangchen sold pairs in this town, and the people who set up stalls in the vegetable market were very familiar with Lin Liangchen, especially her voice. As soon as she came out, I knew it was her.
Now that I heard her voice, three or five of them came to the door and asked Lin Liangchen what was this selling?
Lin Liangchen said with a smile: "Sell rice balls, eat a good reunion~"
As soon as everyone heard it, there was nothing unusual, and they all returned to their positions, Lin Liangchen called a few more times, but none of them reacted, and there was no desire to buy, Lin Liangchen was anxious, this rice ball was made by her and Aunt Sun with great difficulty, if no one bought it, then it could only be left at home.
Their family, plus Aunt Sun's family, can't eat so much?
Not to mention that Lin Liangchen was in a hurry, Aunt Sun was also a little anxious, and asked Lin Liangchen in a low voice: "Liangchen, what can I do if no one buys this?" β
Does she know? As far as the memory of the deity knows, there is no one who sells rice balls every year? But the family does a lot of work.
Thinking about it like this, Lin Liangchen's heart is even more bottomless, but there is no turning back when he opens the bow, he has done everything, he has come, he can't just push it back, right?
Lin Liangchen comforted his aunt, turned his heart sideways, and decided to let it go, if he couldn't sell it, he would have to eat himself.
He cleared his throat again and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, big brothers and sisters, my rice balls are guaranteed to be delicious~ This is not only a sesame trap, but also peanut filling, and more importantly, the origin of this rice ball has a story." β
As soon as I heard the story, I stretched my neck and listened.
Aunt Sun was also curious, "Story, what's the story?" β
She has lived for so many years, why hasn't she heard of it.
"If you want to know what the story is, come and buy the rice balls, keep them delicious, and choose between two flavors-" Lin Liangchen shouted vigorously.
At this time, she cared about what others thought, and there was a thought in her heart, she sold this rice ball.
Seeing Lin Liangchen working so hard, Aunt Sun finally couldn't help it, come on, can't let Jia Liangchen shout there alone, right? Liangchen, a young girl, can lose face, but she, an old woman, can't lose face.
What's there to be ashamed of, isn't that what it's all about?
Aunt Sun gave herself courage, and then shouted vigorously with Lin Liangchen.
Lin Liangchen's voice and Aunt Sun's voice almost didn't resound the whole street.
Xu is Lin Liangchen and Aunt Sun's hard work has played a role, and the people who were originally interested in the story also came over in twos and threes, of course, Lin Liangchen couldn't stop talking about it.
While collecting the money, he said: "It is said that one of the eight immortals, Lu Dongbin, do you know Lu Dongbin?" It's the Lu Dongbin in the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea-
He once turned into an old man selling rice balls in the spring of March, selling them by the West Lake, and at this moment, a young man named Xu Xian walked by here and happened to ask for a bowl of rice ballsββ"
Lin Liangchen was halfway through, stopped, and began to report to Aunt Sun, those who were originally interested in staring at Lin Liangchen one by one, and shouted: "Big sister, what's going on in the back, what's going on?" β
"That's it, big girl, say it quickly-"
"Then how is Lu Dongbin?"
Those who bought tangyuan, you asked Lin Liangchen word by word.
The noisy Aunt Sun almost couldn't hold back, "Well-don't worry, you all, first, I'm sure I'll say it-"
Lin Liangchen didn't expect that such a legend would attract so many people's attention, and the people here haven't heard the story of Xu Xian and the White Lady?
Obviously, there are such things as tangyuaner, why doesn't anyone know about these legends, strange, it's so strange.
What kind of dynasty did she go to?
Lin Liangchen began to wonder?
Didn't God let her be a storyteller? No kidding, she's a woman, but she doesn't have the time to talk about it to those big men all day.
Coming back to his senses by the noise, Lin Liangchen continued: "That Xu Xian, accidentally, he rolled a rice ball into the West Lake and was eaten by a white snake - guess what? β
"We can't guess, big girl, don't sell it, say it quickly-"
Lin Liangxin pursed his lips and smiled, and then he said: "Later, the little white snake turned into a human after eating the rice balls, and married the young man named Xu Xianββ"
After a while, the originally noisy crowd suddenly quieted down, and those people all looked at Lin Liangchen in a daze, and even Aunt Sun looked at her with strange eyes.
Lin Liangchen's heart was a little furious, and he coughed and said, "I didn't say it all, this is a legend - you don't have to react so much, right?" β
After Lin Liangchen finished speaking, he heard someone say: "This legend is so strange, we haven't heard of it - big sister, is there anything else?" β
After the silence, someone began to shout again, asking Lin Liangchen how Xu Xian and White Snake became husband and wife.
Lin Liangchen raised his forehead, these people are really, they all said that it was the legend of Tang Yuan'er, and now they are all concerned about Xu Xian and the White Snake.
"Yes, yes, but-everyone buys the dumplings first, and I'll tell you all after I'm done selling the dumplings, how about it?" Lin Liangchen shouted.
After speaking, those who were originally just listening gathered around and wanted to buy dumplings, Lin Liangchen was in a hurry, and Aunt Sun couldn't wait to give birth to two more pairs of hands.
Originally, I thought that this glutinous rice balls would not be sold, but now it is good, this business is not good, and her old bones are about to die of exhaustion.
Lin Liangchen's voice was almost dry, and he finally sold out the rice balls, closed the stall, and leaned on the small cart to tell the story of Xu Xian and the White Snake.
Lin Liangchen secretly complained as he spoke, he knew that she would say the origin of the Lantern Festival, not the origin of Tangyuan'er, and it was really embarrassing to make it difficult if she didn't clean it up.
Xu Han, who was not far from Lin Liangchen, saw that Lin Liangchen's eyebrows were dancing and what he said, and snorted coldly in his heart, this woman is still so flamboyant, but this woman is still very smart and knows how to use her advantages-
Xu Han whispered in his heart that Lin Liangchen, who was originally talking about the wonderful Lin Liangchen, caused a commotion in the surroundings. (To be continued......)
