"This year's year is really bad, and it's a good thing to have the ability to make a living and earn some money." The old man sighed, and he didn't inquire about other people's ways to make money.

Today the wind and waves were calm, the old man rowed quickly, and after more than an hour, the boat stopped at the ferry port of Hongxia Town for a long time.

"Uncle Jiang, this is the fare, there will be a long delay in setting up the stall today, so I want to trouble your old man to wait for us for a while." Li Qiu said apologetically while taking out fifteen yuan from his money bag.

"It's okay, I just used this time to cast a few nets to see if there was a catch, the last time the fish ate the fish, I kept yelling to eat the fish, hehe!" Thinking of his grandson's cute appearance, the old man raised a kind smile on his face.

The five members of the Li family got off the boat with their things on their backs, and hurried to the town, and they didn't have time to look around carefully when they entered the town, and they were in a hurry to occupy a good stall.

"Yangqing, hurry up, go to North Lane early and occupy a good stall." Li Qiu pulled Li Yangqing and strode towards the north alley.

The family finally arrived at the North Lane with flying steps, seeing that there were not many people setting up stalls around, Li Wenshi was relieved, looking at the situation, his family came early, and of course there were those who had already set up stalls earlier than them.

As more and more people poured into the north alley, there were chirping voices everywhere, occasionally mixed with animal calls, which was very lively.

The Li family looked around carefully, ready to pick a suitable place for their family to set up a stall, and saw that there was a place between an old woman who sold eggs and an uncle who sold vegetables, and felt that the location was good, so they were ready to set up a stall there.

A few people walked to the selected stall, and Li Yangde asked respectfully to the old woman who was setting up the stall: "Mother-in-law, we are going to set up a stall next to you, is there anyone here?" ”

The old woman who was buried in sorting eggs heard the voice and looked up to see Li Yangde and the others, with a pair of clear eyes on her wrinkled face, and then said slowly: "Little brother, there is no one next to you, you can set up a stall." ”

Li Yangde thanked him gratefully, and then greeted the black-faced uncle who was selling vegetables on the right hand and thanked him, and the uncle smiled shyly and nodded in response.

Li Yangwu and Li Qiu put down the back basket, quickly took out the prepared things and put them on the ground one by one, Li Yangwu put the stove and lit a fire, and when the firewood in the stove burned, Li Yangde put the pot with oil on it.

Li Yangqing took out a few that he brought, opened them one by one and put them on the ground, Li Yangming put the empty back basket with the bottom facing up, so that Li Wen's could put the pot, and the signboard was placed on the back basket.

Some of the solidified lard in the pot gradually began to melt into oil and water, Li Qiu waited for the oil temperature to be enough, then put some meat and vegetable skewers and vegetable balls into the pot to fry, with the ingredients in the pot made a "zizi" sound, the aroma of the food quickly spread in this open place, attracting a group of people to stop and watch, most of them pointed with curiosity, and now there is a lack of the first person to eat crabs.

Li Yangqing saw that there were more and more people gathering, and it was a good time to vigorously promote, touched his face, cleared his throat and shouted: "Walk by, don't miss it, grandparents, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters, hello everyone!" Sell the fragrant and crispy Lee's fried skewers! Let you eat into the mouth and fragrant into the heart, the soft and glutinous skin inside the crispy golden ball, eat it to make you rich, rich and reunited, a string of ordinary vegetarian skewers are delicious and not expensive, two buns of spice skewers will regret if you don't eat, three buns of pork ribs skewers have an endless aftertaste, three buns of a golden dough is delicious and full, one bun and two bowls of chrysanthemum tea clear heat and quench thirst. ”

The crowd of onlookers saw a delicate little girl, who read smooth and funny words neatly, and they were all amused by Li Yangqing's cute appearance.

"Then little girl, bring me three strings of ordinary vegetarian skewers, three strings of spice vegetarian skewers, two skewers of pork ribs and two skewers of meat, and one golden ball." An uncle in a blue linen coat with a long beard in the crowd touched his beard.

"Okay! Uncle, I promise you still want to eat after eating. Li Yangqing said with a smile.

Li Yangde hurriedly took out the ordinary vegetarian fried skewers and golden balls that his uncle wanted, put them on the leaves and packed them, Li Yangwu followed and took out the vegetarian skewers, sprinkled them with spices, and carefully wrapped them and handed them to the uncle.

"Uncle, there are twenty-four texts in total, you can take the things." Li Yangming quickly calculated the price, clearly reported the price of the food, and the uncle immediately took out twenty-four coins and handed it to Li Qiu, who thanked him and quickly received the money in the money bag and put it away.

Uncle Haired First took a bite of pork skewers, chewed carefully, and was immediately attracted by this deliciousness, hurriedly swallowed it into his stomach and picked up another string and ate it in a hurry, chewing while chewing in his mouth and said happily: "Hahaha, delicious and delicious, rich aroma, it really makes people want to eat it, and then pack me ten strings of spice skewers and ten skewers of pork ribs, and take them home for the children to eat." ”

It seems that this string is very suitable for uncle's taste, "Uncle, please wait a while!" I'll pack it for you right away, and welcome to come back next time. Li Yangwu quickly fried the skewers that the uncle wanted to take away and packed them for him, and the uncle took the things and paid the money before leaving.

The people around listened to the uncle's evaluation, and some heart-warming people also bought it one after another, and some poor families were really annoyed by the gluttonous children, and they also gritted their teeth and bought the cheapest vegetarian skewers.

After a while, I saw a lot of people in the market holding fried skewers and picking them up, it seems that no matter what era it is, skewers are indispensable, and there is nothing that can't be solved with a meal of skewers.

"Mother, how about we send some fried skewers and golden balls to Dr. Zheng from the medical hall and Lin Zhutou and Wu Zhutou who invited us to dinner last time? Thank you for their care. Li Yangqing tugged at Li Qiu's sleeve and said.

"You're right, you really have to thank them, we have to know how to be grateful, your mother is wrapped and you and Yang Ming will send it together, you don't feel at ease alone." Li Qiu's meat and vegetarian dishes each took ten strings plus four golden dumplings, wrapped three packets, handed them to Li Yangming, and explained to give gifts.

Li Yangming took Li Yangqing with the wrapped things to the medical hall to see Dr. Zheng first, and when he entered the door of the medical hall, he saw that Dr. Zheng was explaining the medicine boy's work.

"Grandpa Zheng." Li Yangqing greeted sweetly.

When Dr. Zheng heard Li Yangqing's voice, he looked up at the door, and saw that it was the two brothers and sisters of the Li family, and he was a little puzzled, "Brother and sister of the Li family, is there something wrong with going to the hospital today?" ”

"Doctor Zheng, thank you for your help last time, our family has set up a food stall in the town, bring you some food, please try it for you." Li Yangming said as he handed the things to Dr. Zheng.

Seeing this, Dr. Zheng excused himself and said: "No, no, I like to eat the houttuynia you sent last time, we belong to mutually beneficial cooperation, where is the help." ”

"Grandpa Zheng, you must accept it, otherwise our mother will scold us, this is fried skewers and golden balls, no one in the town has sold them yet, the taste is good, you can take it!" Li Yangqing hurriedly persuaded Dr. Zheng to get up, and did not forget to stuff things into Dr. Zheng's hands.

Doctor Zheng saw that he couldn't refuse, so he took the thing, "Then thank you to the Li family brothers and sisters, I will accept the things with shame." ”

"Grandpa Zheng, this is best eaten while it is hot, it tastes better." Li Yangqing reminded.

"Alright! The old man will taste the delicious taste you said now. After opening it, Dr. Zheng picked up a bunch and tasted it, and handed the rest to the medicine boys in the medical hall to share, "Yes, it's really a delicacy in the world, and the old man has a good mouth today." ”

The brothers and sisters of the Li family were relieved to see that Dr. Zheng had eaten well, and after saying goodbye to Dr. Zheng, they were about to go to Lin Zhutou's house, and they happened to meet Lin Zheng and Wu San on the road.

"Ringo, Angkor." The two siblings greeted the two who approached them.

"Brother and sister of the Li family, you are in town today. Where is this going? Lin Putou looked at the two brothers and sisters walking alone on the street, and Xu Xu was curious.

"Brother Lin, Angkor, the younger brother's family set up a food stall in the town today, thank you for your hospitality last time, and send you some worthless food, please try it." Li Yangming expressed his intention to the two and handed the packed food to the two.

"I also want to thank you for saving my mother! That would allow you to break the bill and give me something. Li Zhutou pushed and gave way.

"I won't help you much, this ...... I can't take this thing. Wu Yu quickly touched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Brother Lin, Angkor, since everyone calls him brother and brother, don't be polite, take it! We're going back to help set up the stall, and we're leaving. Li Yangming forcibly stuffed the things into the hands of the two, and quickly pulled Li Yangqing and ran away, without giving Lin Zheng and Wu San a chance to talk.

"Brother and sister of the Li family, the brothers accepted it with a cheeky face, if there is anything in your stall, my brother will try his best to help." Lin Zheng opened his throat and shouted to the brother and sister who ran away.

"Me too, slow down, don't fall." Wu San shouted after the brother and sister who ran away.

Li Yangming, who was running away, heard the sound of the two shouting from behind, so he turned around and shouted, "Okay, thank you, brothers." ”

The two siblings ran back to the stall at home in one go, and saw that most of the food had been sold, and it seemed that the rest should be sold out soon.

"You're back, are you hungry? My mother just went to buy a few steamed buns, you guys eat them! Li Qiu handed each of his brothers and sisters a steamed bun, and the two took it and ate it.

"Mother, have you eaten?" Li Yangqing didn't forget to ask while eating steamed buns.

"You eat first, we'll eat later, you children can't be hungry."

"Little sister, let's hurry up and eat well to help, so that my mother and brothers can eat early." Li Yangming sped up the speed of nibbling on steamed buns.

Li Yangqing nodded, although the steamed buns were delicious, but it was easy to choke when he was in a hurry, so he played a bowl of chrysanthemum tea and drank it, his throat was much more comfortable, and after the two of them finished eating quickly, they took over the work in Li Yangwu's hands and greeted the guests, there are not many guests at this time, and they are not busy.

By the time the sun had set, the stalls had all been sold, and the family packed up their belongings and headed out of town.

"Wait, mother, we promised to sell sugar gourds to Cheng Gang, can you give me four cents?" Li Yangqing did not forget to agree to his nephews.

"This really can't be forgotten, lest they go back and don't buy it, and they will make trouble again." Li Qiu's immediately took out four coins to Li Yangqing, and Li Yangqing took the money and ran to the old man who sold sugar gourds in front, picked out four strings of sugar gourds and came back, and put them in Li Qiu's basket.

Li Yangwu and Li Yangde packed up their things and put them in the back basket, Li Yangming carried the empty bucket, and the family rushed to the ferry, anxious to go back to settle today's accounts, and when they arrived at the ferry port of Hongxia Town, they saw that the old man Jiang was casting a net.

"Grandpa Jiang, how many fish did you catch today?"

"How are you doing today? I had a good harvest today, there are a lot of fish in this river, I caught about thirty fish today," the old man said proudly.

Mr. Jiang took back the fishing net that was finally cast out, and saw that there were four or five palm-length fish in the fishing net, which were jumping around trying to break free from the fishing net and jump into the water, Mr. Jiang quickly took off these fish and put them into the wooden barrel next to him, and the old man Jiang deflected the wooden bucket in the direction of the people sitting on the boat, and saw that the fish of different sizes in the barrel were very energetic and swimming vigorously.
