Chapter 599: Calling for Rice (30)
The village street was becoming less and less crowded, and they all went home. Cooking smoke rises to make meals, plates and bowls on the table for bedtime meals. To the south, there is a vinegar factory, and the housekeeper has heard of it, but he has never bought vinegar there. I have eaten his vinegar for sure, and there are few vinegar companies in Ping'an Village, no more than three.
The housekeeper said, "There was a soy sauce seller, and he said that the eaves of his house stretched out to the yard where his neighbor made vinegar?" ”
When he heard this, his eyes widened and the whites of his eyes increased, and he looked at the butler, blinked, and said, "Butler, the soy sauce seller told you?" When this man came, he was angry, and he was about to go to the village office, and he didn't know the housekeeper, and he also saw the soy sauce seller talking to a man.
"A soy sauce seller told me." The housekeeper replied.
"The one who was stretched out into the courtyard by the eaves of other people's houses is my family." Said the one who made vinegar.
"It's your home." The butler looked at the vinegar maker.
"Yes." The vinegar maker gestured to the butler.
Qian Xiwu weighed the woman's backbone, weighed seven catties and three taels, and the woman asked for it. Qian Xi wiped three taels and tied the spine of the woman.
Tethered to the spine, Qian Xiwu handed the spine to the woman.
"Give you money." The woman handed the money to Qian Xiwu and grabbed the rope of her spine with one hand.
The woman paid for the spine and left.
Turning the money in his hand, the housekeeper was looking at him, and he showed the money to the housekeeper: "Look, the money for selling the backbone is seven catties." Qian Xi went to the rope and took the money from selling the old lady's meat, and he said: "This is the old lady's money, a total of two copies, the fat girl didn't buy it, left." ”
The housekeeper looked at Qian Xiwu and smiled, "That fat girl didn't buy horse meat, and the money made you powered?" ”
"Butler, what are you talking about? That fat girl didn't buy horse meat and left? If you don't believe me, you go after her and ask the woman. Qian Xiwu pointed north and looked at the departing woman.
See, Qian Xiwu doesn't look like money. He said, "I'll laugh with you, why are you serious?" ”
"Butler, give you the money, I'll go to the inn. I won't show you horse meat. Qian Xiwu stretched out the money to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper smiled, he didn't say this, but let Qian Xiwu look at it again, and when he said it, he was a little embarrassed. He looked at the money and smiled. Reached out and took the money. He said, "Then you go to the inn?" ”
"I'll go to the inn, I'll show you." Qian Xiwu stretched out his hand, raised his foot and left.
"Hey, go so fast?" The housekeeper watched Qian Xiwu leave.
Qian Xiwu went, and the vinegar maker took a step forward, and took the carriage to see the meat in the carriage. He turned back to the man and said, "Steward, the man is gone, who sells my horse meat?" ”
The butler stuffed the money into his trouser pocket and stretched out his hands, "Look at my hands." ”
The butler's hand was as oily and bloody as the axe that cut flesh and chopped the bones.
"I'll sell it." The butler said, and when he had finished speaking, he went to get a knife. He asked, "Whatever you want, it's two copper plates and a catty." ”
When he saw the butler's hand, he knew that the vinegar maker knew that the butler sold horse meat.
Those who sell vinegar should buy some horse meat, horse meat is cheap, and it is not easy to meet. And he looked at the flesh of the horses, and the flesh of the horses was cut off. He clenched his fists: "Then trouble the housekeeper to cut five catties of horse meat for me." ”
Qianxi strode straight to the inn, he wanted to see why they were not ordinary and the people who went to the south gate. See if there are peanuts or melon seeds?
"Fulai Inn" Qian Xiwu stood on the north side of the inn door, looking at the plaque.
After seeing it, he strode into the inn, and at first glance he saw He Bufan Hefeng and the three of them. "What are you three doing?" Qian Xi Wu stood three or four steps in the inn.
"Bear with it." Seeing that it was Qian Xiwu, He Feng replied.
"Bear it, what can you endure?" Qian Xiwu walked towards the three of him, looking at those who went to the south gate. Qian Xiwu saw that they were all sitting separately, as if they were sitting at someone else's table.
In front of Hefeng's side, Qian Xiwu asked, "Why are they all sitting separately?" Qian Xiwu didn't look at it, and pointed towards the two dining tables.
"The inn and restaurant are full, there are no empty tables, and the housekeeper lets them squeeze with others." He Feng replied to him.
"I see?" After looking at the table and the restaurant full of people, Qian Xiwu asked: "Where are the peanuts and melon seeds?" ”
"Where do you get peanuts and melon seeds, you can only watch and endure them." Why don't you look at him and say.
"You don't want peanuts and melon seeds?" Qian Xiwu asked him.
"I asked for it, but I didn't give it." Fei Teng returned to Qianxi Five.
"Didn't buy it?" Qian Xiwu was a little disappointed.
There was nothing he could do about it, so he asked, "Why do you endure it, what do you endure?" ”
The three of them all looked at the table, and the good food on the table made them languishing.
"When I see good food, I don't have money to eat." He Feng said why.
The food is very good, the fragrance fills the house, and the smell of drinking on people's bodies, which is not good, and it is the worst taste in this restaurant. Those who drink are talking, those who eat quietly, eating quietly.
"What do you endure, you can't eat any food?" Qian Xiwu muttered.
He Feng didn't know how many mouthfuls of saliva he swallowed, and watched others eat the dishes on the table. This is a kind of endurance, He Feng told Qian Xiwu about his endurance, and also said their endurance to Qian Xiwu.
Qian Xiwu went to get a stool to sit on, right next to He Feng, he wanted to experience what it was like for He Feng and the three of them to endure. Watch others eat those good dishes, black-gray sauced beef, golden pot-wrapped meat.
The restaurant was full, and even the idle stools were sat by them. They think it's funny, and they know that watching people eat is enduring, but they still have to watch people eat.
Staring, swallowing. The tongue licks the lips and swallows the saliva. I thought to myself, swallowing my saliva. Sniff in the nose and swallow saliva. Listen to the sound of eating, swallow saliva. Swallowing saliva, eyes are flat, sitting upright and watching, four people are patient, watching people eat, watching people drink, watching people raise their glasses and snort wine. Male diners, female diners, there are old men, there are old women, take a closer look, there are Tongren, soldiers and four workers.
It turns out that not only are they enduring it, but the soldiers and servants who are sitting at various tables are also enduring it, enduring others to eat and drink, others to eat and drink, and look at you sitting.
They weren't any better than the four at the counter, and even worse than the four of them. They sit upright, but they always have to look at the wine and the food on the table, and whether the people at the table are looking at them.
They arrived last, and the shopkeeper had to serve the food to the guests who arrived first, and then they did. The chef also cooks for the first to come, and then they come.
The shop is small and the second-hand end tray "The dish is coming!" "Serving food to the first to come. The people at the same table have more dishes, but their stomachs are empty and they have more saliva. "Guest officer, please have food." The shopkeeper brought the tray of Chinese food to the dining table. "When is the time for us to make lo mein?" The soldier spider with a picturesque face and a gray body asked.
"Brother Bing, your small bowl of lo noodles will be ready immediately." The shopkeeper nodded and smiled at the second-hand end tray.
"Hurry up!" The soldier spider urged, and he pressed the table and gurgled in his belly.
Hearing Brother Bing's stomach gurgling, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Brother Bing, you will be patient for a while, and the small bowl of lo noodles will be here soon." I'm going to urge the cook. The shopkeeper pointed to the kitchen and turned around.
