Chapter Twenty-Six: It's a bit 'too much'
"You Nizi, since you know that no one came in those days, you happened to run into it today, why don't you sell the half bucket of water and then close the stall!"
Wang took the washed loofah to the stove, and said angrily, Aunt Zhao was still shouting when the two of them left.
The ugly orange added a stick of wood to the stove, and when the pot boiled, he lifted the lid and stirred it with a large spoon.
In order to save firewood, the people in the village will scoop the rice before cooking the porridge, that is, mash it, so that it is cooked quickly and glutinous enough.
Hearing that the Wang family had been complaining about this stubble, the ugly orange asked rhetorically, "Mother, then do you say that we still have a deal at that time?" ”
Wang thought about it for a while, and the business on their stall was good for a while, that is, when Chen Tucang left their stall to tell stories, and as soon as he finished speaking, their business was deserted.
She knew in her heart that those handlebars didn't come to scoop water and had nothing to do with this storyteller, but there was still a little mile!
Wang wiped the kitchen knife board with a rag, and said to the ugly orange, "That's because you scooped the price high, whoever came over you said that it was three pennies and a scoop, and seven or eight out of ten shook their heads after hearing it, and it would be strange to have a deal!" ”
"Aren't there two or three people scooping water?" Ugly Orange laughed, got up and took two eggs, knocked one into the bowl, and was about to hit another one, letting Wang scoop it away.
"You Nizi, just add more water, just two of us, how many chickens are you going to make!"
Saying that, Wang went to the water tank to scoop a scoop of water, and put the egg in his hand back into the basket in the hand, these were sent by Ah Niu earlier, and there were seven or eight left after eating at this time, so why not save some.
The ugly orange looked at the poor egg in the bowl and flattened his mouth, scooped a small half scoop of water into the wooden barrel and added it, broke it up and waited for a while to fry it in the pot.
Wang put the loofah on the board, cut it into hob pieces, and said, "No matter what, you set up a stall later, and put down the original price, let's still shout at the price of two pennies and three pennies, and keep it bad." ”
Today they went to set up a stall and caught up with the handlebar-type "callback", which means that they have to catch a trip with the handlebar type every three or four days, and they are here today, and the next time they come back will be estimated to be a few days later......
Therefore, there are definitely not so many people at the entrance of Ming'er Village, and they can also hide for a day.
The ugly orange rolled up his sleeves, brushed the pot on the other stove, the corners of his mouth moved, he wanted to say something but didn't say it, Hengzhi her mother didn't go with her tomorrow, what should she do.
When she came back, her mother said that Aunt Zhang was napping in the yard with Xi Lingzi in her arms, and she didn't look at their yard at all.
Scrape out a small half spoon of ointment from the oil jar, put it in the pot to melt, pour in the beaten eggs and fry until eight ripe, put it out and then burn the pan to scrape the oil and fry the loofah.
Seeing that the ugly orange was busy and didn't speak, Wang thought that he had taken the words seriously, the girl was thin-skinned, don't cry behind her back, and she stopped chattering when she looked at it.
In a soft tone, he said, "Also, you don't have to go up the mountain to scoop up that spring water from tomorrow, what kind of mountain spring water, and then you can go directly to the river to scoop it, we don't have to work hard, you see you have to carry a big gourd back and forth a few times to fill these two buckets of water, and an afternoon's work is so grinding." ”
Wang went to get a plate and came over, this is for the ugly orange to scoop vegetables, while chattering, he didn't forget to remind her to put more salt, this is to be eaten with gruel, it can't be light.
The ugly orange couldn't resist Wang, so he grabbed a few more salt beans and put them in the pot, stirred them, scooped them into the plate, and brought them to the hall.
Wang also scooped two bowls of gruel and brought them in, and the mother and mother cleaned up and began to eat dinner.
Scooped a spoonful of loofah scrambled eggs for the ugly orange, she sandwiched a piece of pickles by herself, and said, "Nier, did you hear my mother talking to you, don't go up the mountain to scoop water tomorrow, if you have this kung fu, it is better to learn needlework from your mother, you must know that the girls in our village are all making their own wedding dresses......"
The ugly orange suddenly cried and laughed, she remembered a sentence that Li Laifu used to say, this sentence was only said when he was arguing with the Wang family, saying that if there was surplus food at home in the future, she would not be given food to eat, and her ears would be quieter when she was hungry!
Originally, she thought that what her father said was a bit too much, but now she really felt that her mother said something 'too much'.
"Ouch Niang, I'm really convinced of you, I'll tell you the truth, I'm going to go up the mountain tomorrow, and I'll go out of the stall later, and I have to scoop this mountain spring water to sell."
Wang snorted, "Hey, you can't make sense, who did you learn from such a stubborn person, what's the use of scooping those!" ”
The ugly orange said softly, "Why is it useless, the spring water on the mountain is much better, or the village entrance Zhao Fuzi is always good for this ......"
Wang said disapprerovingly, "What's the matter, we didn't fool them with the water of the stinky ditch, the water in the mountains is different from anyone in the river, isn't it all water!" ”
The ugly orange sighed slightly, thinking about what to say to the Wang family, at first she went to the small river outside the village to scoop water, at that time she was the only one to set up a stall at the entrance of the village, those handlebar style had no extra choice, and when thirsty, she could only go to her to scoop water and drink.
But at this time, there are more mothers-in-law and aunts who come to set up stalls, and there are more handlebar-style options, and everyone scoops water from the river.
Wang looked at the ugly orange with a strange expression, as if he understood and didn't, "You are different from others when you scoop water on the mountain?" ”
Ugly nodded affirmatively, "No! You also drank the water lady I scooped from the mountain, could it be that you didn't drink something? ”
Wang frowned, "Nier, my mother really hasn't drunk anything, this is a bowl of water, you still want your mother to drink the taste of old wine." ”
Ugly Orange couldn't tell her about it, she used to think that she was drinking water from her own home, and often went up the mountain to scoop some mountain spring water.
There are two jars in her yard, one large and one small.
The large jar was filled with water from the river, which was used for washing and washing, and the small jar was filled with water from the spring brought down from the mountain.
Wang is used to drinking, and for her, these are just water in her own jar, nothing different.
Seeing that the ugly orange was speechless, Wang thought that he was right, and began to talk again, just a few words, and let the ugly orange learn to do needlework or something with her.
Ugly Orange thought that everything she said at this time was idle, and only by pouring the copper to her mother would her mother be convinced!
