Chapter 32: Laba Porridge
January 24 is the Laba Festival of the lunar calendar. Ou Tingting came to Li Yuxin's house very early, and Li's mother happily pulled her to prepare the ingredients for Laba porridge. Ou Tingting was overjoyed, one after the other, busy in and out.
Li Yuxin took the time to go to Xinhua Bookstore and bought an English-Chinese dictionary.
On the way back, Li Yuxin thought of something, so he went to the Yuxi flower shop.
"Boss Xie, boss Xie."
"Oh, I thought it was. Li Yuxin, why do you have time to come to me. The corners of Xie Yuxi's mouth squeezed out a rare smile.
"Thank you, Boss is polite." Li Yuxin smiled sincerely.
"You're welcome, you're not going to talk to me today, are you?" Xie Yuxi joked.
"What, do you have a blue enchantress here?" Li Yuxin searched everywhere.
"Yes. How? Want to buy it? Xie Yuxi pointed with his chin to the pile of blue flowers under the counter.
"This is the Blue Enchantress? Get me 19 sprigs. Li Yuxin's eyes lit up, as if he had never seen a blue enchantress.
Xie Yuxi gave him a strange look and didn't say anything. She wrapped the flowers directly in white confetti and tied a light pink bow at the lower end of the bouquet.
"How much?" Li Yuxin took out his wallet and prepared to pay.
"It's still the price that night, you can figure it out yourself."
When Xie Yuxi said this, Li Yuxin was confused.
Li Yuxin couldn't remember when he had come to buy this flower.
Xie Yuxi looked at him with an ignorant look, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was even more weird.
Could it be that he got drunk that day? Li Yuxin thought about it for a long time, how much money did he give? When roses are the most expensive, they are only 5 yuan a flower, so this flower can't be more expensive than roses, right? Thinking of this, Li Yuxin took out a great man's head from his wallet and put it on the counter, and said magnificently: "Don't look for it." ”
So, Li Yuxin picked up the packaged bouquet and took a taxi and left.
Xie Yuxi looked at this hundred-yuan bill, and he wanted to die. Xie Yuxi wanted to cry without tears, this business was really a failure, I wanted to make two more, but now I even lost my capital. Xie Yuxi clenched his fists, raised his arms, and shouted at the door of the store: "Li Yuxin, my mother owes you in my last life, ah!" ”
"Boss Xie, what are you crazy about? I've heard your voice from afar. Yingzi happened to pass by and parked the car in front of the flower shop.
"It's not that Li Yuxin yet." Xie Yuxi said angrily.
"Oh? What's wrong with him? Yingzi asked with interest.
"He just bought 19 blue enchantresses, and I asked him to look at them, and he gave them 100 yuan, and told me not to look for them. Are you angry? ”
"Who told you not to make it clear." Yingzi glanced at her and wanted to laugh in her heart.
"I'm not trying to make two extra bucks. He was drunk that day, and he gave 12 yuan back to one flower, so he should give more today. Xie Yuxi couldn't figure it out.
"Since he's drunk, he must not remember anything, don't you ask him to give whatever he wants, isn't it embarrassing for him?" Yingzi pursed her lips and smiled.
"yes. I saw that he thought about it for a long time, and finally gave 100 yuan, as if I had taken a big advantage. Xie Yuxi's anger has disappeared a lot.
"You are clever but you are mistaken by cleverness." Yingzi's words pierced his heart, but Xie Yuxi was heartbroken when he heard them.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, I'm here today to deliver you an insurance policy." Yingzi took out two insurance policies from her shoulder bag and handed them to Xie Yuxi.
Xie Yuxi didn't even look at it, so he found a random place to put it away.
"Boss Xie, don't be angry, I'll invite you to drink laba porridge at noon today." Yingzi's silver bell sound made Xie Yuxi lose his temper.
"What you said, I'll go with you to eat and drink at noon." Xie Yuxi's face finally showed a smile.
The two chatted for a while, and Xie Yuxi introduced a few more customers to Yingzi, and Yingzi wrote them down one by one, planning to prepare the information and visit again.
At 11:15, Yingzi looked at the time and hurriedly asked Xie Yuxi to close the door.
Xie Yuxi saw that there was no business at this time, so he pulled down the roller shutter door and followed Yingzi into a taxi.
The taxi driver asked, "Where to go?" ”
"Kiyosenji." Yingzi said to the driver.
"Going fast?" Xie Yuxi didn't expect that the Laba porridge that Yingzi said was actually the meal of Qingquan Temple.
"That's right, once a year, absolutely vegetarian porridge." Yingzi said beamingly.
"Free?" Xie Yuxi hesitated slightly.
"Think beautifully." Yingzi said mischievously.
"Is it expensive?" Xie Yuxi asked in a low voice.
"It's not expensive, everything is fate." Yingzi made an Amitabha Buddha with one hand.
"You mean, we're going to get married?"
"Yes, it's fate."
Speaking of getting married, Li Yu's novice was holding the cold blue enchantress and was hurrying home. He wanted to give Ou Tingting a surprise, a surprise that he had never done when he was so old.
"Mom, I'm back." Li Yuxin didn't use the key directly, but stood at the door, knocked lightly a few times, he hid the flowers behind him, and he estimated that it would be a little girl who would open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Li Yuxin didn't even think about covering his face with flowers from behind him, "Ding Ding Ding, little beauty, give it to you."
"I'm not your little beauty, hehehaha."
When Li Yuxin heard the voice, he was immediately embarrassed, so he had to cough a few times and shouted: "Dad, it's you." ”
"Hahahaha." Li Yuxin's father laughed heartily again.
Ou Tingting heard the laughter, poked her head out of the kitchen, and when she saw this situation, she couldn't help but laugh.
The little girl ran over sweetly, took the flowers, and smiled beautifully.
