Chapter 51 Closing the stall

After the rotten peaches were inspected, the remaining ones were in good condition, and there were only three baskets left that could still be sold. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhang Xin is not the only one who sells peaches in this bazaar, not to mention that Zhang Xin's peaches look not very fresh, plus today Zhang Xin and his wife came late again and still did not grab a good position to set up a stall, let the servants scream and break their throats, and the people came and went in the morning to sell less than a basket, and the remaining two baskets of peaches were exposed to the sun in the morning, and the peaches were visibly wilted down with the naked eye, leaving nearly two baskets of peaches to evaporate with the water, and the peach skins were wrinkled and wrinkled. Lu Jinshi finally greeted the two guests, but when he saw that the peach skin was wrinkled, he didn't even pick it, turned around and left.

Seeing that the sun was almost shining, the pedestrians in the market were about to decrease again, but his two baskets of peaches were not cared for at all, Zhang Xin sighed, leaned on the carriage and bent over, took out a sun-dried peach from the basket, originally wanted to eat one to quench his thirst, but looking at the wrinkled skin, he pinched it with his hand and found that the peaches were a little dry, and he had no appetite to eat at the moment, so he threw the peaches back into the basket. Turning his head, he saw Zhang Xi squatting on the carriage idlely, holding the box containing the money, counting the copper plates in the box, and asked casually: "Ah Xi, how much money has it been sold?" ”

Zhang Xi threw the handful of copper coins in his hand into the box one by one, "There were 110 wen left yesterday, and less than 100 wen were sold today...... That's two pieces of silver. Brother, if you want me to say that we have bought all the things we brought at home, you look at the peaches...... If you want me to say, it's almost there, let's close the stall. As he spoke, he picked up a wrinkled peach and put it in his hand, "How can anyone buy this peach?" ”

"Okay......" Zhang Xin sighed helplessly, these two baskets of peaches seemed to be smashed in his hands. It's a pity to think about it, "closing the stall...... It's a pity that these old peaches have to be thrown away...... What a waste. ”

"It's okay, Brother Xin!" Zhang Xi smiled "hehe" and poured the copper plate in the box into his purse, "These two baskets of peaches don't need to be thrown, just send them to Lao Wang to make fruit wine, Brother Xin, I tell you, Lao Wang's fruit wine is a must, I leave the remaining peaches for him to make wine every time, that taste ......" said and reminisced about the fruit wine made by Lao Wang, and involuntarily smashed it and smashed it.

Zhang Xin looked at his salivating appearance, and couldn't help but be interested, "Oh? How about the sorghum wine we drank yesterday? ”

"There is no comparison...... Zhang Xi shook his head and said, "Fruit wine has the taste of fruit wine, and sorghum wine has the taste of sorghum wine...... "Tilting his head and thinking about the taste of the two wines, "In the words of Jinshi, it is called 'each has its own merits'!" But...... I prefer to drink fruit wine. ”

The wine worm in Zhang Xin's stomach was immediately hooked by Zhang Xi's words. Zhang Xin drank the sorghum wine yesterday and felt that the sorghum wine was simply amazing, and it can be said that there is no other wine in the world. I thought this was Lao Wang's best wine, but I didn't expect that now I heard Zhang Xi say that Lao Wang still has fruit wine that is comparable to it, or even better, and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of Tubo at the moment, and couldn't help it anymore, with both hands and one hand in one hand, he lifted the basket containing peaches and jumped into the carriage, urging the two of them: "Let's go, close the stall!" ”

The three of them drove the carriage back to Lao Wang's small inn, Zhang Xi consciously led the carriage to the back to unload the car, Zhang Xin couldn't wait to jump down with a basket full of crumpled peaches in one hand, walked to the main hall in two steps and shouted: "Uncle Wang! Uncle Wang! ”

Lao Wang heard someone call him, opened the curtain of the door of the room and limped out, "Coming...... Yo, Ashin, why is it so early today? ”

At this time, it was just past the end of the day, and it was still early to eat. Zhang Xin put the two baskets of peaches in front of Lao Wang, and smiled, "Uncle Wang, I heard Ah Xi say that you want to make fruit wine and collect fruits everywhere, as soon as I heard that Uncle Wang had something, I was anxious about my roots, and immediately got two baskets of peaches and Pegasus to send them to you, what do you think?" ”

Lao Wang smiled, "Ashin...... You also learned from Ah Xi with a full stomach of flowers. Okay, I'll get you wine later, ask for yesterday's sorghum wine? Or fruit wine?. So saying, he bent down and lifted the basket.

Zhang Xin was not embarrassed, and said directly: "I want fruit wine!" Seeing that Lao Wang's legs and feet were not good, he hurriedly grabbed the basket, "Uncle Wang, I'll come!" You show me the way! ”

Lao Wang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Okay, I can't let you drink my wine for nothing, you have to work first!" As he spoke, he limped open the curtain of the room and approached the room with Zhang Xin.

It was the first time for Zhang Xin to enter Lao Wang's room and looked at it curiously. Seeing that Lao Wang's house was cleaned up quite clean, that is, pots and pans were messy everywhere, the landlord was a yellow mud stove, standing in a small half of the whole house, with chopped firewood at the west end, and a pile of baskets on the north side.

There is now a whole sheep roasted on the yellow mud stove in the room, it is estimated that Lao Wang has been roasting since the morning, the sheep has been roasted golden in color, emitting a fragrant smell of mutton, one guy is turning a wooden stick to heat the mutton evenly, and the other guy is sprinkling seasoning on the sheep from time to time. There was also a middle-aged woman with a flower cloth headscarf wrapped her hair with her back to the door, and when she heard the movement at the door, she turned around, and saw that the middle-aged woman was slightly fat, and her face was blackened by the fire...... Didn't the fifth child come over, and you still made him tired! ”

Lao Wang listened to the woman's complaint, scratched his head and smiled, pointed to the place where the melons, fruits and vegetables were stacked, "Where the peaches are placed...... said and introduced to Zhang Xin: "This is my Hun family." ”

Zhang Xinba put the basket full of peaches and wiped the sweat on his head, "Hehe...... Hello aunt! ”

"Hey." Aunt Wang answered, took a scoop of water and scooped a full scoop of water, "Come, drink some water." The last time I saw you, I was only so tall......" said and gestured around his waist, "I didn't expect you to be so big now......"

Zhang Xin took the water scoop, drank a large scoop of water in two sips, wiped his mouth, and handed the water scoop back to Aunt Wang, "Thank you, auntie." ”

"Hey." Aunt Wang looked at Zhang Xin lovingly, picked up a meat cleaver from the board next to her, cut a large piece of meat from the hind leg of the roast sheep with a few knives, put it on a plate and handed it to Zhang Xin, "Come, take it." Serve hot! ”

Zhang Xin still wanted to be polite, but Aunt Wang couldn't help but stuff the plate into Zhang Xin's hand, "You're welcome, it's not enough." As he spoke, he also greeted Lao Wang, "Master, go to the wine cellar and get some good wine for the fifth child." ”
