As long as you grew up here, there will always be childhood memories in your memory, maybe that memory is a string of sugar gourds, a sugar man, a small piece of maltose or a small object eaten on this large set.
These memories will accompany people for a lifetime, especially when they are old, and the memories of childhood will become more and more violent, stimulating every Chinese wandering abroad to think about returning to their roots.
A stall in Yatougou Village is located not far from the small park in the middle of the town, because they came early, they occupy a relatively open territory, lined up, and the upside-down baskets are used as brackets, supporting the movable car floor removed from the board car, and building a simple trading stall.
The golden sun will be sprinkled to the world without hesitation, pray for the town, ushered in the first big set of the new year, cars come and go, crowds of people are surging, people come and go wearing new clothes, the expression is happy. At this time, children are usually the most excited to see.
After Luo Yumin set up his belongings, he straightened up and looked at the stalls in the neighboring villages, the things were similar to his own, they were all eggs, rice grain, live chickens, etc., but his own family had more paper-cuts than them.
"Sister, I'll take a look elsewhere..."Luo Yuliang is young in the end, and his temperament is a little jumpy, and he soon can't bear to keep it, and finally has a little money in his pocket, and he also wants to see if there are any objects he likes on the big set.
Luo Laohan glanced at his grandson with a dry cigarette, and at this time the old man's hearing seemed to be normal again: "Let your sister go with you, there are many people on the set, don't knock..."
After the two siblings left, they were far away, and they didn't think about whether the children could hear Luo Laohan still shouting uneasily, "Liang boy, listen to your sister, don't run blind..."
The big strong stall that picked up Luo Yuliang when he went back to school was placed next door, and he was about to shout for business, he casually glanced at the stall of Luo Yumin's house, his eyes lit up, and he walked over.
He grabbed the potatoes from Luo Yumin's stall, compared them with his own, and found that the same size, the other party's was obviously much heavier, and the skin was also much brighter, as an old crop, he could definitely see that this potato was a high-quality variety.
"Uncle, I think your yam eggs are much better than mine..."
The two old men of the Luo family, as soon as the potatoes were harvested, they were all put into the warehouse, and after picking out the seeds of the year, the crooked melons and cracked dates would be used as food, but what Qiangzi held in his hands was obviously better than the ones he kept for himself, and the old man was also confused.
"Liangzi and his milk, this is our yam egg?" The old man asked.
"That's not good, Yu girl moved out of the library in the morning." Luo Zhoushi turned her head to take a look, and it happened that someone came to ask the price of paper-cutting, and she was too busy to go back to take care of the business.
What they didn't know was that as early as last night, Luo Yumin had replaced more than half of the potatoes in the warehouse, and picked out the smaller potatoes in the system growth to mix in.
According to the original plan, she wanted to replace them all, but she was afraid that it would be too prominent and arouse her grandfather's suspicion.
"Uncle, go back and exchange for me some yam eggs from your house, and I'll use them as seeds for next year..."
At this time, a tourist came to the stall to see that there was no mud on the potato, so he grabbed one and checked it, and then asked, "Old man, your yam egg is not big, but the weight is not light, is it planted with chemical fertilizer..."
"Nonsense, no one in our village uses that thing, everyone uses the fertilizer from the cow and sheep dung they have saved." Luo Laohan usually has bad hearing at home, but I don't know what's wrong, this is surprisingly sensitive in the bazaar, no, people's voices are not loud, and he can hear it clearly, which makes people blush.
"This guest, you can't be blind with red mouths and white teeth, my uncle is almost eighty years old, and he has planted the land all his life, but our No. 1 capable crops within a radius of dozens of miles, no, they are old, and the government doesn't need them to pay taxes, and the grain they grow can't be eaten at home, so they take it out and sell it, and get money to pay for the tuition of the two children, you can't ruin the reputation of the old man here."
It can be said that Uncle Qiangzi is really a warm-hearted man, and when he saw someone talking nonsense, he was busy coming out to defend Luo Laohan.
"Yo, the old man is not in a hurry, you are in a hurry first, am I just asking, Cheng, I will take this back, when I haven't said it, the old man, what is the price of your yam eggs..."
However, people with a heart will think that selling things in the market is like this, even if the goods are good, the party who wants to buy them will always pick and choose to find some faults, because only in this way can the price be suppressed.
This is the law of trading, and even Luo Yumin's plane trading system will automatically pick the good and the bad, the valuable and the priceless~O~
Yam egg is the common name of many northerners, while southerners mostly call it potato, and it also has a scientific name, that is, potato.
Potatoes can be fried and eaten, can be shredded and fried, can be braised with meat and eaten, can also be steamed and eaten as rice, and then can be smashed into a puree mixed with flour in a special way to make cakes, the way to eat is strange, it is a well-known food in the north and south of the country, in some countries in the West, potatoes and flour are still used as staple foods.
Although there are many ways to eat, picking potatoes is also a kind of knowledge.
The first choice is that the potato can not break the skin, the smoother the cortex, the better the quality, such potatoes are easy to store; Then try to choose the round one in appearance, the more round the better; Third, you can't eat the sprouted potatoes, and you can't eat the ones with blue and green skin, because they are all toxins, and if you eat them, you will have abdominal pain and diarrhea, and you may die if you eat them.
In many places in the north, potatoes are the main vegetables in winter, so you should be especially careful when storing, North China, northern Shaanxi generation of caves used as storage rooms is the best, because the deeper the cave is dug, the cooler it is, and in the south, there are some emergency spare similar cave-like air-raid shelters, in summer, there is usually the best place for citizens to enjoy the coolness.
"One dollar and three catties..."Luo Laohan quoted the price, this is the general price on the big set, if Luo Yumin is here, the price quoted will definitely be much higher.
"It's a little expensive, how about five catties for one dollar, I've got it all..."The tourist estimated that two baskets of potatoes were dozens of catties, and it didn't cost much, but the psychology of greed still made him can't help but lower the price.
"It's so cheap, if this yam egg is in peacetime, it won't be able to beat the scale for one dollar or two catties."
