Chapter 271: Dumplings
"This year's early-maturing apricots are really early, look at them, all of them are smart, there are no holes, and they are delicious to look at!"
"The price is also good-looking, only five apricots for a dime, just buy two cents for the baby to satisfy the hunger."
"This egg is big, but it is expensive to sell, and it costs a dime and a half."
……
Yunshang stepped on the cart, hurriedly collecting the money from selling vegetables, eggs and apricots, and Gu Shinian on the side was not easy, sending away a few ordinary guests, and bargaining with the second dealer in a whisper.
When Yunshang's things were almost sold, Gu Shinian also negotiated the price here, and the remaining refined white rice and refined white noodles in the bag were all packed for the second dealer.
After the things were sold, Gu Shinian put the cart in place, dragged Yunshang around the black market, bought two pheasants and a hare, saw the pork seller at the end of the black market, and wrapped the remaining small half of the ribbed pork and pork thighs in one go.
The pork in this period did not have any additives, and as soon as Gu Shinian saw someone selling meat, he would find a way to buy it and hoard it for Yunshang to eat slowly.
As for the pork in the Yunshang space, it was also sold out one after another by Gu Shinian, or it was taken out as a gift and left.
Coming out of the black market, the two continued to look for abandoned alleys, put away the cart, took off their old clothes, freshened up, and pedaled their bicycles to the acquisition station.
Under the pretext of looking for villain books and textbooks, the two of them rummaged around at the acquisition station, found three sets of textbooks from elementary school to high school, and also found more than ten line-bound ancient books, two old picture scrolls, and finally Yunshang also received several porcelain in good condition and two snuff bottles under Gu Shinian's instructions.
Thinking of the old lady's penny broken in half, Yunshang sorted out two stacks of newspapers and prepared to give them to the old lady, so that she could take them back to the village to exchange things with others.
Back at home, it was not early, Yunshang took out a piece of pork, two bundles of leeks, thirty eggs, and a big bag of apricots from the space under the cover of the basket, and pulled the old lady over excitedly, sucking saliva, asking to improve her life, saying that she wanted to eat white dumplings!
When selling vegetables in the morning, I heard that people said that they would make leeks and egg dumplings to eat when they went back, and Yunshang couldn't help but want to drool at that time, and when she got home at this time, she naturally wanted to eat dumplings.
The old lady was almost stunned by Yunshang's generosity, subconsciously glanced around, quickly closed the door, and pulled Gu Shinian and Yunshang to open their mouths to reprimand, "You two babies are so bold!" Why are you going to the black market again! If someone catches it, how can an old woman save you two? ”
Seeing that the old lady's face changed color in fright, Yunshang hurriedly hugged the old lady's waist and coaxed, "Milk, don't worry, Second Brother Gu and I didn't go to the black market, we went to the acquisition station." ”
Gu Shinian also nodded beside him, took out the old newspapers and old textbooks under the basket, and showed them to the old lady, "Grandma Yun, Ah Sheng and I went to the acquisition station to buy old newspapers and old textbooks." These meals were exchanged by my fellow villagers who followed up with the city purchase office with industrial tickets. ”
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and stroked her chest with a frightened face, "That's good, that's good." Ouch~, the heart of milk, day by day, I can't let go. ”
Yun Sheng stood on tiptoe and stretched out her little hand to stroke the old lady's chest, "Milk, Second Brother Gu and I are obedient, we can't let you worry about it, and we can't do speculative things!" "That's weird!
"Ouch~, the milk girl, it's really a family!" The old lady smiled happily and hugged Yunshang for a good meal.
Gu Shinian suppressed the corners of his mouth that kept twitching, poured the apricots into the big basin, picked up two more bowls, and prepared to let Yun Shuilian send them to Director Ren's family and Nurse Li's family.
These things are not valuable to Yunshang, but to others, they are rare fresh food.
Director Ren's family and Nurse Li's family took good care of Lao Yun's family and Yun Shuilian, and sent some apricots, which can be regarded as a kiss between neighbors.
Yunshang rarely asked to eat dumplings, and the old lady naturally wanted to meet them, so she picked the leeks first, washed them, and hurried to the kitchen to make noodles and chop the meat filling.
When Yun Shuilian came back from work, the old lady had already rolled out the dumpling wrappers and was ready to make dumplings.
There are two kinds of dumpling fillings, one with leek and egg, and one with leek and pork.
The old lady's hands and feet are very neat, and she only needs to pinch her fingers twice, and a white and chubby dumpling is wrapped.
And Gu Shinian, who was learning to make dumplings on the side, performed much worse, and the dumpling buns were crooked and shapeless.
Yunshang leaned over to take a look, praised Shi Nian very much, and ordered all the ugly dumplings he wrapped in advance.
The bolt didn't understand what Yunshang was saying, but it didn't affect him to join in the fun, and he also bent his eyes on the side, baring his small thin teeth and said, "It's booked, I want to eat ugly dumplings!" ”
Gu Shinian: "......"
Listening to the laughter of the old lady and Yun Shuilian, Gu Shinian turned around and put a little flour on the noses of Yun Sheng and the plug as if punishing, and painted the two of them into flower cats......
When the dumplings are put into the pot, the smell of fresh leeks and the aroma of meat spread, and soon they fill the entire corridor.
Thinking that when Lao Yun's family moved, several families in the small western-style building helped move things, and Yunshang simply found a few small bowls, each bowl contained ten dumplings, and sent them to the neighbors who helped, and the right was to return the favor.
After that, she asked the old lady to get a bowl of dumplings for Director Ren's family and Nurse Li's family respectively, plus apricots, and asked Yun Shuilian to send them to the two families.
After being busy with these things, the family was finally able to eat lunch peacefully.
Yunshang knelt on the bench and bit open the elastic dumpling skin, the hot meat juice suddenly burst out in her mouth, and the fresh fragrance of leeks and the aroma of meat fused together, so fresh that she couldn't wait to swallow her tongue.
"Hmm! Delicious! The plug said vaguely while holding the dumplings and snorting hotly.
Yunshang also nodded quickly, swallowed the dumplings in her mouth, and said to the old lady, "Milk, after eating, Second Brother Gu and I will go to the aluminum factory to see the second uncle, and then send a bowl of dumplings to the second uncle to improve the food." ”
The old lady's eyelids jumped, and her tone was very unassuming, "Your second uncle can buy two dumplings with a day's wages, and if you give a bowl of dumplings, how many days does your second uncle have to work to earn it back?" ”
Yunshang: "......" milk hey~! That's your son, my own son!
Yun Shuilian and Gu Shinian were also speechless, I don't know why the old lady had an awkward relationship with Yun Erchuan, how many days have it been, and when Yun Erchuan is mentioned, she is not angry.
"It's good when he leaves, he comes back once a week, it's been almost a month, and he doesn't know how to come back to see! Tell me, why is he so cold, he throws the bolt at me and doesn't care about anything! ”
