Chapter 16: Neighbors Fall Wrong
Boss Li looked at Shen Qingqing, and saw that the girl in front of him had a ruddy complexion, although she was wearing coarse linen clothes from the countryside, her sleeves were clean and tidy, a wooden hairpin looked neat and tidy, and her facial features were upright and soft when she looked closely.
When wrapping glutinous rice in kraft paper, Boss Li couldn't help chatting: "Sister, I think you came from the countryside to the market, right?" ”
"Yes." Shen Qingqing smiled on his face, his teeth were white and clean. "Come to the rally and sell something and make some silver taels."
"It's good to earn some silver, and life will not be so difficult." When Boss Li wrapped the glutinous rice, the end of his speech was elongated.
Shen Qingqing saw that his tone of voice was unusual, and couldn't help but ask: "Look at what you said, is it possible that you have opened such a big rice shop, and what are the difficulties?" ”
Boss Li saw that Shen Qingqing was also an honest person, and his speech and demeanor were quite generous, so he spit out the bitterness in his heart unguardedly: "Sister, I won't tell you, this rice is not from me from other places, but from my own land." ”
It is understandable to say that the rice grown at home is the rice you bought, and you can make a lot of money by changing the customer's peace of mind.
Then Boss Li sighed, his brows furrowed as if it was the mountains and rivers of Jiudaoguan: "This rice is also the first time I have planted, I thought it was similar to the quality of rice, but I didn't expect this rice to be chewy, it was still slimy, and the people didn't like to eat it when it was steamed into rice, so no one bought it, and it has lost a lot of money." ”
Shen Qingqing couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she heard this, it seems that this is not easy to do business.
Boss Li handed her the wrapped glutinous rice: "Sister, if you like this rice, but come to me to buy it, I will give you a cheaper price." ”
Shen Qingqing thought in her heart that this was good, anyway, she couldn't eat enough of this glutinous rice.
Shen Qingqing understood that Boss Li's business was not good, so he didn't leave after buying glutinous rice, but walked around the rice shop.
Not to mention, the guys in this shop are quite complete, and after a while, Shen Qingqing's eyes looked at the cotton.
Although it is summer now, but when autumn comes, the quilt clothes in the house must be thin, and then buy cotton at a fixed price.
"Boss, how do you sell this cotton?"
"Thirteen cents and one pound." Boss Li replied.
Shen Qingqing touched it, and the cotton was not bad: "Then I want two catties." ”
"Come on!" Boss Li didn't want to mention how happy he was, he wrapped the cotton and gave it to Shen Qingqing, paid the money, and chatted a few more words, and Shen Qingqing caught up with the ox cart back to Anning Village.
I came back much earlier today than yesterday, and there were still two or three hours before I made dinner, so Shen Qingqing was not in a hurry.
Xiao Douding saw that his mother was back, and hurriedly ran to the house from the river, and saw the glutinous rice in the back basket with a face like bitter gourd: "Mother, why did you buy these undelicious rice?" ”
"You don't think it tastes good either?" Shen Qingqing sat down and touched the glutinous rice, but felt that the little bean was becoming more and more like an adult.
Xiao Douding nodded and pointed to the glutinous rice: "Haohao has eaten this kind of rice before, and his stomach is uncomfortable for two or three days after eating." ”
Eating too much of this glutinous rice at one time will increase the burden on the stomach and make it difficult to digest.
Come to think of it, that's a problem.
If you grind glutinous rice into glutinous rice flour, it is not only easier to digest, but also has more cooking tricks.
It's still early now, and sometimes Shen Qingqing doesn't ink, thinking that Aunt Wang's house has a mill, why not borrow it.
Shen Qingqing's house and Aunt Wang's house are only separated by a fence, and they are only two steps away, Shen Qingqing stood in the courtyard and shouted, "Is Aunt Wang at home?" ”
"My mother is not at home." A rather young and sharp woman's voice answered her, and when she opened the curtain of the hall, it was Xiao Wang's who came out.
This little Wang is the daughter-in-law of Aunt Wang, and she has been married for four or five years, I heard that this little Wang was also a grinding horn in the village when she was not married, but she couldn't stand Aunt Wang's ability and shrewdness, and slowly Aunt Wang was the backbone of the family.
Xiao Wang's family is good to gossip in the village, and they haven't heard much about Shen Qingqing's affairs, seeing that she is coming, a pair of Danfeng eyes hooked upward, looking at people even more uncomfortable: "My mother is washing clothes by the river, do you have something to do?" ”
Shen Qingqing was worried about the glutinous rice in her hand, and said with a smile: "I remember that Aunt Wang said that your family has a mill, and I have a few catties of rice here, and I want to borrow your mill for use." ”
Xiao Wang's family couldn't wait to drive Shen Qingqing away, but the faces of the villagers still had to be hung up, so they just opened the door of the east wing: "The mill is inside, you can use it yourself." ”
"Okay, thank you." Shen Qingqing thanked him, seeing that Xiao Wang's family didn't like him, and he didn't say much.
Aunt Wang's mill is not a single mill that can be moved, but a stone mill half a meter wide, on which the stone is pushed by manpower, such a mill is the most practical in the countryside, corn, soybeans, rice and flour can be grinded.
Shen Qingqing put the glutinous rice on top of the mill, put the rope on the stone on his hands, and with a little force, he turned it around.
Shen Qingqing was energetic here, but Xiao Wang stood at the door and didn't leave.
Xiao Wang was born thin and tall, with dark skin and sunken facial features, and he looked like a shrewd person who loved to tell the truth.
In Xiao Wang's memory, this Shen Qingqing has big shoulders and a round waist, and the fat on his body is almost piled on the ground, which makes people look greasy, but when I see it today, it seems to be different from the impression.
This Shen Qingqing was dressed in a washed white blue shirt, with a belt loosely tied around his waist, and his face was fair, as if he had lost a lot of weight.
Of course, this little Wang clan couldn't imagine that it was Shen Qingqing's regular exercise and the effect of spiritual spring water, and thought that she had no food in her house and was hungry like this.
"I don't think you're grinding rice, what kind of rice is this?" Xiao Wang inquired.
Shen Qingqing stopped, wiping the sweat on his face, if he said that this was glutinous rice, Xiao Wang's clan would definitely not recognize it, so he thought of a simple method: "This rice is much cheaper than rice, so I bought it." ”
Sure enough, the woman just had no money in the family.
Xiao Wang thought about it, and couldn't help but get close to Shen Qingqing, I heard that this woman was a dog-skin plaster-like figure, what if she fell into her own home?
If Shen Qingqing knew Xiao Wang's thoughts, he would have to laugh.
But Xiao Wang's family didn't have much knowledge, and he only had one acre and three points of land in his heart, looked at the sun outside, and said, "Ouch, the dead ghost in my family is probably coming back soon." ”
She was talking about her own man, Aunt Wang's son.
Of course, Shen Qingqing couldn't see through the meaning of her words, but she just responded: "Yes, it's time to make dinner, and it is estimated that Aunt Wang will be back soon." ”
Xiao Wang looked at Shen Qingqing and had no intention of leaving, so he stomped his feet and went out directly.
Shen Qingqing touched his cheek, he didn't understand what Xiao Wang's was making trouble about, and thought that he didn't offend anyone anyway, so he left quickly after grinding.
Who knows, Xiao Wang didn't go far, but looked at Shen Qingqing through the window.
After this Shen Qingqing lost weight, although he was not very smart, but his every move had an indescribable charm, Xiao Wang's family was originally jealous, thinking about this Shen Qingqing's seduction of the Lin family's son before, his heart was disgusted, his man is also a master who does not stop, what if this Shen Qingqing falls into his own house?
Thinking about it, Xiao Wang spat out a mouthful of saliva: "This shameless woman." So saying, he went into the house, not knowing what he was rummaging through.
This grinding looked like an easy job, but after grinding for a while, Shen Qingqing was covered in sweat, she stopped, and couldn't help thinking in her heart: "It's still good to have technology, and it won't be so tiring if you have technology." ”
"Yo, Qingqing is resting here?" Xiao Wang held a dustpan in his hand and came in again.
Shen Qingqing looked at the soybeans in her dustpan, and felt that something was wrong, but she just said, "Yes, I'm afraid it will take a while." ”
"Oops!" Xiao Wang's voice is the same as suona. "Look at Qingqing, this is really a coincidence, my dead ghost likes to eat soybean noodles, I think he will come back soon, so I will grind some for him."
As he spoke, he put the dustpan on top of the mill, and Xiao Wang's hand was still pretending to pinch the soybeans, and he was about to grind them.
How could Shen Qingqing not understand the meaning of these words, it was clear that people didn't want to see him and drove him away!
She is not a person with a hot face against someone's cold ass: "Nacheng, you can use it, I'll leave first." ”
As he spoke, he swept the ground glutinous rice flour into the bag with a broom, which was also quite a lot, and there was half a bag.
As soon as Shen Qingqing stepped out of the door with her front foot, Xiao Wang put the soybeans on the table with her back foot, this grinding soybeans was fake, and it was true that she wanted to drive her away.
This Shen Qingqing walked out of the courtyard of Aunt Wang's house, and looked at the door closed by Xiao Wang's family, and felt ridiculous.
How unpopular she is, borrowing something to make people like this.
Shen Qingqing is not a person who likes to look at people's faces, thinking about grinding corn and soybeans in the future, grinding seeds is an indispensable thing, and when you have the effort, find a stone, it is good to get a grinder yourself.
However, this Aunt Wang is a person who is easy to get along with, and this little Wang is afraid that he will be so prejudiced against himself, after all, this is a neighbor, and the relationship should be eased.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingqing took the glutinous rice flour and went home.
