Chapter Eighty-Seven: Money Is Hard to Buy, I'm Willing
The glutinous rice was soaked for a day and a night, and in the evening, after Yan Nian finished eating, he quickly sat down and began to make zongzi.
He also removed the hard-boiled eggs, left the yellow in the bowl, put the pork stuffing with the seasoning, and washed the jujubes, all of which were set aside for later use.
Yan Nian began to make zongzi for the first time since his rebirth.
Xiao Nuo Nuo and Yanyan saw that their mother was setting up a dragon gate array on the kang table, and the table was full of delicious food, so they also washed their hands and came over to join in the fun.
"Mother, I'll help you make zongzi." Little Nono said happily.
Looking at the happy scene of the family, Yan Nian was very relieved and happy.
Being surrounded by such two little angels is really the greatest happiness in my life.
Xiao Nuo Nuo has been learning to pack with her mother, and Yanyan has leaked a few packs, and finally she gave up and ran out to play with Xiao Humei.
Soon it was wrapped and began to boil.
The next day, after Yan Nian finished cleaning up, she saw Aunt Zhilan coming over with a few pairs of shoes.
Yan Nian remembered that when she went to Zhilan's house yesterday, she was looking for Xiaowei's business, and forgot to take her shoes back.
"Auntie, thank you so much for making you tired."
After speaking, he turned around and took out thirty copper coins from the kang cabinet and stuffed them into Zhilan's hand.
"It's a little hard-earned money." Then, Yan Nian fished out a few rice dumplings from the bucket, and took a few tea eggs and served them directly to Zhilan in a small basin.
"The day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, Yan Nian doesn't have anything to say, these are the ones I wrapped out and cooked last night, you can take them back and taste them with Xiaowei."
Looking at the pot of zongzi eggs that Yan Nian gave herself, Zhilan suddenly burst into tears, "Child, you have moved my aunt so much, over the years, no one has treated our mother so well, thank you Yan Nian!" ”
Seeing Zhilan like this, Yan Nian was at a loss and hurriedly said, "Look at what you said, auntie, Yan Nian didn't do anything." This is how people get along, you are good to me, I don't have anything good for you, don't cry. ”
Sending away Aunt Zhilan, Yan Nian began to make difficulties, this zongzi was completed decently, but there was no car to sit on to sell it in the town, how could such a heavy bucket be transported to the town?
Come to think of it, let's take the bucket and tea eggs to the village road first, and if you meet a car from the town, you can take a ride.
So, I arranged everything at home and went out with my things.
When I arrived at the village road, I stood on the side of the road and observed the movement of the cars and horses on the road.
At this time, a few villagers who had just returned from work in the mines in the mountains came from the west end of the village, saw Yan Nian standing on the side of the road, and asked Yan Nian, "What are you doing standing here this morning?" ”
Yan Nian hurriedly said, "Are the uncles off work? I was going to the town to sell zongzi, and I didn't see any cars passing by. ”
Hearing Yan Nian say that he was selling zongzi, he looked around the wooden barrel curiously: "Did you wrap it yourself?" ”
Seeing this, Yan Nian took out a few zongzi and handed them to his uncle: "Uncles, try it, it's delicious, this is meat filling, this is egg yolk filling, and this one has jujube filling." ”
A few people had just come down from the mountain, and they were already hungry and thirsty, but when they heard Yan Nian say this, their hunger suddenly overcame their restraints, and they peeled off the dumpling leaves and ate them in a big gulp.
"Well, well, well, it's so delicious, Yan Nian has a copper plate for this, Uncle bought it home, and let my mother and the baby eat some, I didn't have time to go to the market during the festival, so I bought it from you."
Hearing what the workers said, several other people who also thought so in their hearts also responded.
Yan Nian was really happy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Uncles, we are all villagers in the township, Yan Nian will not ask for more of your money, then give you three zongzi with a copper plate, and then two tea eggs are a copper plate." ”
"Okay, okay, you have the final say, Yan Nian, you quickly set it up for the uncles, I have to go home to sleep, I am really sleepy and tired at night."
Loaded the zongzi for a few uncles with his hands and feet, and Yan Nian brought a lot of yellow paper at home in advance, and prepared straw ropes, so that people would not be able to hold and take away the zongzi and eggs.
Seeing that people had gathered here, the villagers who had just eaten also gathered around.
Seeing that Yan Nian was selling zongzi, and seeing that someone had already bought a lot, some people asked how the zongzi were sold and whether they were delicious.
Yan Nian gave people to taste again, and broke the tea eggs for people to taste.
This toss, the zongzi in Yan Nian's bucket have almost been sold, and Yan Nian suddenly remembered that he didn't have some left at home, as well as He Ling's house in the lower courtyard, and Aunt Zhang.
Thinking of this, Yan Nian lowered his head and counted, he really couldn't sell it to others anymore.
So, Yan Nian got up with the barrel and was about to go home.
At this time, Fang Mingyu walked from the west end of the village, saw the wooden bucket that Yan Nian was carrying and asked, "Yan Nian, what are you doing with the bucket?" ”
Yan Nian hurriedly put down the bucket, "It's Brother Mingyu, I have zongzi in this bucket, I've been selling them all morning, it's almost sold, I'm going home, why are you going?" ”
Fang Mingyu hurriedly said: "The zongzi they bought turned out to be sold by you here?" I don't have anything to do, I just sit for a long time and walk around. ”
Yan Nian suddenly thought that the windows and silk cloth of his house were given to him by Fang Mingyu, and he bought so many four treasures of the study for Xiaobao, so he looked at the bucket, took out a few zongzi from the bucket and wrapped them and handed them to Fang Mingyu, "Brother Mingyu, you try Yan Nian's craftsmanship, if you like to eat, I will buy more rice packs in the future, there are not many today." ”
Fang Mingyu's home is not short of these things, especially during the New Year's Festival, and the small kitchen at home has already prepared all kinds of food that should be used for the solar terms.
However, looking at the zongzi in Yan Nian's hand, Fang Mingyu was very willing to accept it, because it was given to him by his beloved woman.
Seeing Fang Mingyu take a bag of zongzi with both hands, and just about to thank him, Yan Nian wrapped a few more tea eggs, "This is also my self-created tea egg, go home and try it together." Yan Nian smiled and handed it to Fang Mingyu.
"Here's for you." Fang Mingyu took out two taels of silver from his cuffs and handed them to Yan Nian.
Yan Nian looked at him with some surprise, "This is unacceptable, I gave it to you, you helped me so much, eat a few zongzi and give back the silver money, and there are so many, you can quickly put it away!" ”
Fang Mingyu hurriedly stuffed silver into Yan Nian's arms, Yan Nian pushed back, and the two of them pushed back and forth.
"Yan Nian, don't want Brother Mingyu to give it to me." Ni Yirou walked over from the village road at this time.
The two of them hurriedly stopped and looked in the direction where Ni Yirou came.
Coming to the front, Ni Yirou looked at the silver in Fang Mingyu's hand with displeasure, "Yan Nian, what kind of valuable thing are you buying, and Brother Mingyu wants to give you so much silver?" ”
After asking, he looked into the wooden barrel again, and said with a sigh in his mouth: "I thought it was a good thing, it turned out to be zongzi, why are there such black eggs?" ”
Fang Mingyu took advantage of Yan Nian's efforts to see Ni Yirou throw the silver into the barrel, and then said to Ni Yirou: "What is this called?" It's called a money that is hard to buy, I'm willing, and it's easy to explain. ”
After speaking, he said to Yan Nian: "You go back, I'll go back too, go home and see if your craftsmanship has grown." After saying that, he walked home with two bags of things with a smile.
