Chapter 20: Selling Vegetables
Zhou Gu'er arrived at Tunzikou and saw Sun Jiaming who was waiting for her over there.
Yesterday they had already said that they would meet in Tunzi, mainly to avoid gossip in Tunzi.
"Sister Gu'er, I'll come."
After Sun Jiaming saw Zhou Guer, he said hello, took the handlebar from Zhou Guer's hand, and pushed the wheelbarrow.
"Thank you, Brother Jiaming, you will change me."
Zhou Guer is not polite, the road is far away, Sun Jiaming is willing to help her, she appreciates.
"Okay."
Sun Jiaming nodded.
The northeast is vast and sparsely populated, and the distance between Tunzi and Tunzi is also very far.
Along the way, at the beginning the two of them would talk a few words of homely things, and then they would be silent because there was no topic to talk about.
After all, this is the third time they have met, and they are not familiar with it before, so there is really nothing to talk about.
About twenty miles away, the sun was already very high, and Zhou Guer felt the heat.
There are no hot days here, and it is not yet hot time, but they have been walking, and they are walking fast, and they are still sweating a lot.
"Brother Jiaming, I'll push it, you can also wipe your sweat and rest for a while."
Zhou Gu'er saw that Sun Jiaming's forehead was sweating, and he was a little unbearable.
"It's okay, I'm not tired, why can't I let you push it."
Sun Jiaming wiped the sweat on his face and neck with a towel, and smiled at Zhou Gu'er.
"You're in town for the first time, right? We've been walking for more than half a while, and we'll be almost there in another hour, and if you're tired, sit up and I'll push you. ”
Sun Jiaming was afraid that Zhou Gu'er would be tired, so far away, a big man would feel tired, not to mention Zhou Gu'er's daughter.
"I'm not tired, I'm used to going up the mountain all day."
Zhou Gu'er refused, it was already good for people to help her push the cart, and it would be too much for her to sit on it again. Besides, although she is a little tired from walking these roads, she is not unacceptable.
"Okay, when you're tired, just say it, let's rest."
Sun Jiaming didn't force it.
Zhou Gu'er nodded, Sun Jiaming is really a warm-hearted person, he is really good, why didn't she find out in her previous life?
But thinking about her previous life, Zhou Guer shook her head secretly, with her own character in her previous life, she didn't dare to associate with other men at all, people like Sun Jiaming, she would feel inferior when she saw it, and she didn't even dare to speak, it was strange to have an intersection.
After they entered the city, it was almost noon, Zhou Gu'er calculated, it should be more than ten o'clock now, less than eleven o'clock, it's okay, arrive before noon, it shouldn't miss Sun Jiaming's matter.
"Sister Gu'er, you can sell it here, you don't have to worry about someone driving you away in this place, if you go to the West Market, although there is a larger flow of people over there than here, it is more chaotic, and your girl's house is not very good."
Sun Jiaming helped Zhou Guer park his car in a place called Dongshi.
This place Zhou Guer knows, as Sun Jiaming said, it is a good place, the flow of people in this place is not too large, but it is okay, this area is a relatively high-end area in the city, and the people who come and go are relatively well-read.
In fact, according to Zhou Guer's own meaning, she originally wanted to go to Xishi. In her previous life, her house was closer to Xishi, and she was familiar with it, but just like Sun Jiaming said, although there is a large flow of people there, there are many people in that place, and if she sells vegetables over there, she will indeed suffer if she is not good.
"Thank you, Brother Jiaming, for bothering you."
Zhou Guer sincerely thanked her, Sun Jiaming really helped her a lot.
"Look at your politeness, okay, you sell it here, I'll go first, I'll pick you up here in the afternoon."
Sun Jiaming saw that Zhou Gu'er was all done and he left.
Looking at Sun Jiaming's back striding away, Zhou Gu'er raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"You're selling wild vegetables?"
A middle-aged woman in her forties arrived in front of Zhou Guer's stall.
Originally, there was nothing to eat wild vegetables, but there were no vegetables at this time, and when Leng Buding saw this green dish, she actually thought it was not bad, so she stepped forward to ask.
"Yes, auntie, these are all wild vegetables, they are all packed up, you can take a look."
When Zhou Gu'er saw the guests, he hurriedly cheered up and introduced his wild vegetables.
"It looks weirdly fresh, but this thing doesn't taste good, and it's the first time I've seen someone sell this."
The woman likes Zhou Guer's wild vegetables a little, not for anything else, because it is very clean, generally people from the countryside come to sell vegetables, and the vegetables are all with mud and soil, even those who sell vegetables have black mud in their fingers.
Now look at this girl who buys vegetables, not only does she look good, but her hands are also clean, the main thing is that her dishes are also clean, cleaned up neatly, and you can do it when you take it back and wash it again, it won't be troublesome.
"Auntie, this wild vegetable is not a precious thing, it is all in the tunzi, but the vegetables have not come down at this time, that is, eat fresh. I have a mixed mountain here, you can taste it, if you think the taste is okay, my aunt will buy a handful and go back, and add a dish, if you think it is not delicious, it doesn't matter. ”
Zhou Gu'er smiled and handed over the iron basin in his hand.
She washed this basin very clean, and the chopsticks were also clean, she knew that people in the city paid attention to these, and if you made it dirty, people might not taste you.
The woman looked at the pot handed over by Zhou Gu'er, it was quite clean, and then looked at the pot with green vegetables and red peppers, a clear aroma, as if it tasted good.
"Then I'll taste it."
As she spoke, the woman took the chopsticks and put two bracken sticks in her mouth.
"Don't say it, it's quite crispy, this saltiness is also appropriate, slightly spicy, but it's quite refreshing, I've made it in previous years, and I also put oil and salt, but the taste is not as good as yours, how did you make it?"
After eating, the woman actually asked Zhou Gu'er what she was doing, as if she was here to chat.
"Auntie, there's no trick to this, one is to pay attention to the time of blanching, and the other is ......"
Zhou Gu'er smiled and said her cooking method.
In addition to the middle-aged woman, several women gathered around him, all of whom listened attentively.
"Girl, you're suing me like this, aren't you afraid that I won't buy your food?"
After the woman listened to Zhou Gu'er, she looked at Zhou Gu'er, and a hint of meaning flashed in her eyes.
"Hehe, it doesn't matter if my aunt doesn't buy it, the practice of this dish is not a secret recipe, nothing expensive, and this mountain vegetable is all in the tunzi, as long as you work hard, you can dig it, I am because the family is having a bad time, I want to see if I can sell some money, auntie don't laugh at me, if my aunt has time to go to Tunzi, I will send my aunt a few baskets of mountain vegetables."
Zhou Guer smiled very honestly, with a slight embarrassment on her face, she knew in her heart that the other party asked like this, it must be that she wanted to buy it, otherwise people would leave directly, the more honest she said, the more people would have a good impression of her, this is also the current people are more simple, if it comes later, no one cares so much.
