Chapter 10 Soybeans
Duan Wu led Duan Wen to his home, and Xiangqin followed with curiosity. They all wanted to see how Duan Xiang had wasted the three hundred yuan.
Duan Xiang was afraid that Duan Wu would be rough with him, so he always kept a safe distance behind them, and even when he got home, he didn't dare to enter the door, and kept poking his head out and staring at the two little eyes.
In front of the wall at the entrance of the hall, there was a neat row of urea bags, and there were twenty bags carefully, and I didn't know what was inside, so that the urea bags were bulging.
Duan Wu opened one of the bags and revealed the contents of the bag, which turned out to be soybeans.
Duan Wen's eyes widened, he couldn't believe that the contents of this bag were all soybeans, there were twenty bags of them!
He couldn't help but angrily pointed at Duan Xiang who was hiding at the door, regretting why he had to protect the fat calf, it was better to let his father pick his skin!
"Do you buy so many soybeans to count them for fun, or to eat them as food, are you such a waste of money!"
With Duan Wen helping to speak, Duan Wu's mood was much better, "That's it, brother, do you think he deserves to be beaten." β
Duan Xiang pursed his lips, aggrieved, and whispered, "Isn't it cheap......
Such a big bag of urea soybeans is only fifteen yuan, and he doesn't believe that anyone can buy soybeans cheaper than this. What's more, he has always believed in a saying, "After this village, there is no such shop." As soon as Duan Xiang entered the county, he heard the shouts of selling soybeans, and also chatted with the boss for a while, knowing that the other party was in a hurry to use the money to ruthlessly sell the soybeans at home at a loss. Probably sympathetic to the other party, Duan Xiang really felt that the price of soybeans was cheap, so he used up the living expenses that originally belonged to his sister Qiuhe and bought these soybeans and brought them back.
It took him three trips to bring all these soybeans back on the tricycle, but how much effort he put in, even the clothes on his body were soaked with sweat, and it is estimated that he lost a lot of fat on the way back and forth.
There was no one to support Duan Xiang, Duan Wu rolled up his sleeves, and chased him all over the courtyard with a broom.
"You spit out three hundred dollars for me!" Duan Wu was like a rich man who collected debts, in order to chase Duan Xiang, he even put on his cloth shoes.
In their eyes, these soybeans may not be expensive, but in the eyes of parsley, these are golden beans that can make a fortune.
She went to the urea bag, grabbed a handful of soybeans and looked at them carefully, the soybeans were yellow in color and full of particles.
Take one and pinch it between your fingers, there is a slight feeling of softness; Put it on the tip of the nose and sniff it carefully, like the moisture of sweet grass penetrating into the nose; Finally, Parsley put the soybean in his hand into his mouth and chewed it, although it had a little green taste, the main thing left on his teeth and cheeks was the rich bean aroma.
The soybeans look fresh and don't seem to have been harvested for a long time, and if parsley is not mistaken, this soybean is produced in the Jianghuai region. The climate there is humid, so the soybeans are still a little damp.
"Uncle Xiangzi, did you buy this?"
Listening to Parsley's tone, did she think that Duan Xiang not only bought soybeans correctly, but also thought that he bought less?
Duan Xiang almost burst into tears when he saw the savior, and hurriedly ran to hide under the light of parsley. He stood up to Parsley, which made her even thinner.
I don't know what's wrong, in front of this weak girl, Duan Wu actually felt that there was a force oppressing him. She was obviously standing there quietly, but the momentum that could emanate from her was not even as good as Duan Wen.
Duan Wu had never dealt with any kind of person, so he couldn't see where this girl came from with this calm momentum.
"This is parsley." Duan Wu thought that he had recognized the wrong person, and deliberately asked Duan Wen with his eyes, and saw that the other party did not deny it, so he affirmed Xiangqin's identity, "Xiangqinβ"
Since coming to Duanjiazhuang, Xiangqin has not officially greeted this second grandfather. She came a few times, but Duan Wu was not there, but she was familiar with Duan Xiang.
Xiangqin hugged her hands into her sleeves and smiled as bright as the warm sunshine in autumn, "Second grandfather, this soybean is a good thing." β
"Anyway, there are a lot of things, you and your grandfather will take two bags back later." Duan Wu is not a stingy person, not to mention that the other party is not someone outside his family.
"Keep it for yourselves, we don't want it." The so-called brothers still settle accounts, not to mention that these soybeans were bought by Duan Xiang with wasted money, and Duan Wen reached out to take a little bit of it, which seemed to be a bit of a fall into the ground, so what kind of person did he become!
Parsley raised the corners of her lips, and her bright eyes were curved like two small crescents, which was very pleasing. "Second grandfather, these soybeans are still left for you to make money."
"Raw...... Making money? Duan Wu thought he had misheard.
Since Xiangqin said so, then she must have an idea in her heart, Duan Xiang can't wait to be a roundworm in her stomach, if he can turn the three hundred yuan soybeans into six hundred yuan and turn it over, not only can he not be beaten and scolded, but he can also boast in front of Duan Wu arrogantly!
"Parsley, tell me quickly, how to make money with these soybeans!" Duan Xiang couldn't wait for a long time, and went straight around the parsley.
Duan Wen was also very curious, and wanted to hear what good way Parsley could help Duan Wu and Duan Xiang's father and son solve this soybean problem.
Parsley pretended to be profound, not in a hurry, but she looked full of confidence, "The tofu and soybean sprouts we eat, the tofu brain and soy milk we drink, which is not made of soybeans." If you use these soybeans bought by Uncle Xiangzi to make those things and sell them, you will definitely earn more than 300 yuan! β
Xiangqin said that she was a little moved, if she was lucky enough to come across such a cheap deal, she would definitely let it go.
Duan Xiang had a good reason to shout to him, "Did you hear that, when you make money with these soybeans, I will pay back your three hundred yuan!" β
Duan Xiang thought that he had done something unintentionally inserted into the willows, so he began to be proud of his achievements.
If it weren't for the fact that Duan Wen and Xiangqin were present, Duan Wu would have slapped him on his big face covered with oil.
"You know that you think money is so easy to make! Get out of the way! Duan Wu drove Duan Xiang away from Xiangqin, it was to make room for himself. He greeted Xiangqin with a smile, completely missing the fierce and vicious appearance just now, "Xiangqin, tell the second grandfather, what should I do with these soybeans." β
Seeing that his attitude towards parsley was completely different from his attitude towards himself, Duan Xiang was very unconvinced, if there was a table in front of him, he would lift it decisively and without hesitation.
Duan Xiang glared at Parsley angrily, then slammed the door and ran away, looking for Duan Yongyuan.
In terms of generation, Duan Xiang and Duan Yongyuan's uncle and nephew are commensurate, but the two are as close as brothers and sisters.
Duan Xiang is twenty this year, and Duan Yongyuan is just over seventeen, and the two are not much different in age, and they have a lot in common.
Duan Yongyuan was rubbing the bud grain with his mother in the courtyard, and the golden bud grains in his eyes occupied half of the red plastic pot.
As soon as Xue Danfeng saw Duan Xiang coming to the house, he dropped the bud grain stick, didn't say a word, wiped his hands and went to the hall.
The whole village knew that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Duan Wen family never paid attention to people, and when Duan Xiang came to Duan Yongyuan to play when he was a child, he would call his sister-in-law to the Xue family sweetly. Over time, he also learned the attitude of other people in the village towards Xue Danfeng, and often ignored her existence.
As soon as Duan Xiang's cheeks were next to the bench, he complained to Duan Yongyuan, "Yongzi, you said that my father treats me differently than he treats other children, and I don't understand who is his biological child!" β
"You're twenty years old, and you still think you're a baby in open crotch pants?" Duan Yongyuan was a little angry.
Talking about his father in front of Duan Yongyuan, a person who has no father, what did Duan Xiang think in his heart?
Duan Yongyuan knew that this fat man didn't mean to expose his scars, this fat man didn't realize that his unintentionality had caused others to be sad.
Otherwise, every time Duan Fat Man came back to complain, would Xue Danfeng not be in front of him?
