Chapter 38: The Grocery Store
When the brothers were working hard to move the stones, Du Xiaoxi also woke up sleepy-eyed.
In order to prevent moisture, the wooden planks were built very high, and Du Xiaoxi's short legs could not reach the ground, so he could only ask the rivers and lakes for help, "Fourth brother!" Fourth brother! ”
In the morning, the child who is used to peeing is about to be suffocated to death, and he can't wait!
Du Zhizhong was still reminiscing about the grilled fish made by his second brother in his dream, and he was woken up by his sister with his saliva, and he reluctantly destroyed the saliva on the third brother's quilt and put it on the upper place to cool down.
"Do you want to pee?"
Du Zhizhong has served Du Xiaoxi at home several times and knows her urine in the morning.
yawned and stepped forward and hugged Du Xiaoxi to the ground, Du Xiaoxi lifted the curtain and ran out, but came back in the blink of an eye.
"Fourth brother! No thatched houses? ”
Du Xiaoxi looked very anxious with cotton pants, I was in a hurry, I was in a hurry.
"Thatched house?"
Du Zhizhong's sleepy eyes were hazy, and he reacted to what the thatched house was, and appeased Du Xiaoxi, "You wait, I'll find someone to ask!" ”
Du Zhizhong ran out in a hurry, found a soldier and asked where the thatched house was, and after being looked at by the soldier with a strange look, he said, "It's all big men, what are you shy?" 'Send it back.' In short, men are not allowed to ask for thatched houses, and we don't have that thing here.
Du Zhizhong ran back and looked at his sister who was very anxious, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you go on the spot?" "His sister is difficult to serve, whose baby doesn't come on the spot, she has to go to the thatched house every time.
"This is where the second brother lives?" Du Xiaoxi roared.
Du Zhizhong shook his hand indifferently, "It's okay, it's okay, dig a pit and bury some soil later, he can't see it at all, and besides, the third brother will live in the future." ”
In the end, Du Xiaoxi, who couldn't bear it, came to the spot in his second brother's small hut.
Waiting for the fourth brother to bury the traces cleanly, Du Xiaoxi was a little glad that he didn't eat too much, what if he didn't have a poop? Is it like the men here who want to find a forest to squat around?
After solving the big physiological problem, Du Zhizhong rolled up the sleeves of his sister's thick cotton jacket and washed his face, and then ran to the back of the house to free his bladder.
Knowing that there was no food now, Du Zhizhong resigned himself to starting a fire to cook, and he could still cook simple porridge!
After Du Xiaoxi's hand and foot (guidance) cooked a fragrant rice porridge, Du Zhizhong thought that he had the same talent as the second brother to be a chef.
Usually those who come to change labor can only leave immediately after finishing the day's work, Du Zhiyi is stained with the light of Master Xile and can stay for one more day. In the morning, he helped move a few boats of stones, and Du Zhiyi did not go again in the afternoon. Commanding Du Zhizhong to pack the things that should be packed, Du Zhiyi teased Du Xiaoxi for a while, and fell asleep with a snort.
slept until mid-afternoon, Du Zhiyi explained to his younger brothers and sisters to stay in the house obediently, and went out to wander around by himself and didn't come back until the next night. After a simple dinner, Du Zhiyi took Du Zhilian back with two fish to grill and add food, and made Du Zhilian howl again in the evening. Du Xiaoxi's day trip ended miserably in a small thatched hut.
The next morning, Du Zhiyi woke up his two younger brothers, carried Du Xiaoxi on his shoulders, and left the camp where he had lived for more than a year.
Du Zhilian sent his brother and brother to the boat, and watched the boat float away before reluctantly returning to the camp to start working.
When Du Xiaoxi woke up, he found that he was on the road again, and with the help of the fourth brother, he scooped up the river water, washed his face, and ate something simply, and waited for him to go home with anxiety.
Towards evening, the boat was returned to the fisherman, and the three of them hurried home.
Du Xiaoxi lay on the back of Second Brother Du one by one, thought of a good idea to escape punishment, and decisively pretended to sleep.
The back of the second brother, shake and shake!
Du Xiaoxi really fell asleep.
Du Zhiyi was warmly welcomed when he returned home, and Du Niang didn't laugh or laugh when she saw the sleeping girl.
Du Xiaoxi was woken up by hunger.
Touching the gurgling belly, Du Xiaoxi sighed, thinking about whether to continue to sleep or continue to sleep?
But I'm so hungry!
Du Niang saw her girl sitting in a daze when she was half asleep, sat up with her clothes on, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" Want to pee? ”
Du Xiaoxi looked at Du Niang with surprise on her face, nodded fiercely, and then pouted pitifully: "Mother, I'm hungry!" ”
Du Niang nodded Du Xiaoxi's little head and smiled dotingly, "You! After speaking, he got up and carried Du Xiaoxi out of bed, and went to the kitchen to warm up the meal left in the evening for Du Xiaoxi before coming back.
Du Xiaoxi ate hot bibimbap, hugged Du Niang's neck and kissed her several times, and coquettishly called her mother to fall asleep sweetly in Du Niang's arms.
Probably because the night before was very good, Du Xiaoxi found that no one crusaded against her the next day, and she couldn't be happier!
After Du Zhiyi went home, the specific matters of the Du family opening a new shop were in full swing, without him, the best thing that the Du family made of meat was not Du Niang, a few women who walked around the stove every day, but Du Zhiyi.
Daddy Du called his sons to discuss the matter of opening a shop, and said that Du Zhiyi would be the chef, but Du Zhiyi decisively refused Daddy.
I'm killing pigs and killing them so cool, why do I go to cook on the fire?
Don't go!
It's good to cook you a pot of meat every day, but you still want to spend the whole day?
Don't think you're my dad and you can get an inch!
The shop is about to open, the cook is gone, is it swollen and broken?
Daddy Du is really unwilling to rent a good shop to other families to earn money, and if the food shop can't be done, then he won't do it, anyway, there are so many docks that sell food, and the competitiveness is also great.
Du Xiaoxi was held in Du Zhiyi's arms, and I wanted to yell, I will make a cake! I'll make dessert!
However, Du Xiaoxi didn't have that guts.
The Du family is afraid that the bear child plays with fire** During the cooking period, the child is strictly forbidden to go to the kitchen, Du Xiaoxi said that no one believed what she would do. You are a girl who is not as tall as the stove, who are you fooling!
"Why don't you open a grocery store? One sells oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, meat, and eggs, one sells mountain goods and fruits, and the other sells groceries. There are a lot of stalls selling vegetables on that street, and the big boats of those rich and noble families don't look down on them at all, and some of them are also for the next people to eat. We can collect the mountain goods from the village, and bring them back by the way when we collect the pigs, or we can let them send them to our house. We can also buy some when the ships sell fresh things. An adult at home can greet him, and the fifth brother didn't just come back from school, so let him watch it too! ”
Du Xiaoxi thought of the large fruit forest in Shanshui Temple, and decisively praised the eldest brother: "Good! "One day is a teacher and a father for life, since the master is also a 'father', then the fruit of Master Xile Lin himself, an apprentice, can naturally pick it at will. Exclusive supply of fruits and vegetables grown by Master Joy himself, what a free signboard!
Daddy Du thought that it was really feasible, don't look at the original idea of being a food shop, but it requires a lot of labor, not to mention that the day of standing on the stove is very tiring, that is, placing an order to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, washing vegetables and dishes are indispensable.
The Du family now looks at a large number of people, but there are only three adult sons, and one place has been occupied by labor for many years. Now one stays in Dujia Village to take care of Grandma Du, and he is tired of taking care of the fields and killing pigs, and the other is also busy with him, and he really can't spare anyone who can work.
It is said that the price of mountain goods sold in the north is very high, and those large cargo ships will carry a lot of them to sell them halfway every time, and they can also make the difference in price.
As for Du Wu, after five years of clan study, the names of the whole family are probably not written evenly, and there are more days of skipping class than the days of going there, and it is no longer useful for Grandma Du to send pork to her master now. Du was already graduated by his master five years ago because he did not have the talent to study literature. Now I am naughty and mischievous in Dujia Village every day, and it is best to bring it over to see the shop.
Daddy Du slapped his big hand, "Okay!" Let's do it! ”
