Chapter 31: Maltose
"It's you who hit, what's wrong! You're dozing off, aren't you? ”
After speaking, Xiao Er's head was hit again.
"Uncle, isn't there no one coming to the door? I squinted. ”
It turned out to be related, so he was so calm when he said how to sleep and was caught, and even the quibbles sounded a little bit justified.
"It's useless to call uncle, go to the back and clean up the warehouse."
"Hello, what kind of seeds do you want to buy? Cabbage, little greens, we have everything here, what you want. ”
Facing the guests, the shopkeeper immediately changed his smiling appearance and introduced the goods in the shop.
This season is usually to plant some vegetables and fruits, so he focused on this aspect, and also put them on the counter for Grandpa Su and them to choose.
"This variety is very good, the seedlings emerge quickly, and it is delicious. This one is pretty good, too..."
With the uncle's idea, and with the introduction of the shopkeeper, he soon bought almost all the varieties that Grandma Su needed.
The price given by the shopkeeper is also very fair, and a few big men will not bargain, so they basically take it at the original price. The whole process was incredibly smooth and, of course, fast.
When it was almost time for the shopkeeper to help pack the selected seeds, Niuniu hadn't thought of how to ask the rice seeds to make it seem less abrupt and strange.
"Uncle......
"Uncle, do you still have these rice seeds? It's almost germinating when I soak it in water, and it doesn't seem to be usable, so I took it out and threw it away! ”
"Throw it away, just throw it away, don't you see I'm busy?"
This is the first time that Niuniu feels that she is not angry when she is suddenly interrupted by others, and she is even a little happy.
"Master, I want that."
"Shopkeeper, don't throw away your rice seeds, sell them to me cheaper, my granddaughter has to ask for this thing, and I've been talking all the way."
"I'm going to throw it away, and I'm going to talk about whether to sell it or not. Children just want to have fun, I'll give it to you, you just come to my house often to do business. ”
"That's for sure, Niu Niu, thank you for the shopkeeper."
"Thank you, Uncle! I wish Uncle a prosperous source of money! ”
"It's called Niu Niu! This kid of yours teaches so well and can really talk! Junko, don't throw things away, pack them up and give them away! ”
"Now it's what you want! Look at this little face! ”
"Niuniu is happy! Grandpa is so nice! ”
The smile on Niuniu's face not only did not relent, but became more and more wanton. Don't forget to pat Grandpa Su's ass.
"Brother Su, why did you buy so many things today! Have you made a lot of money lately? ”
The old man who drove the ox cart couldn't help but joke when he looked at the big bags and small bags that Su Qiang and Uncle Su were carrying.
It's no wonder that he has such doubts, Su Qiang and the two of them did take a lot of packages. Even Grandpa Su put Niuniu down and helped share a lot of things in his hands.
Fortunately, there are two big men who came out today, otherwise it would be difficult for this thing to mention here in an ox cart. It's not heavy, it's just a lot of it.
"Brother, don't you be in a hurry to go back now! I still have something I forgot to buy, you wait for me? ”
"I'm not in a hurry, I see, I'm just a few of you guests today. You take your time, you don't have to rush, I'm waiting for you here. ”
Uncle and Niuniu belong to the same village, and in the early years, the family had some extra money, so they bought a cow. Ploughing at home can also be easier, and you can also help carry food when the farm is busy.
Occasionally, I can rent it out to earn a little money or something. When he was free, he drove the cattle out to pull people, and he collected two cents per person, which was also a big entry for the family.
"Dad, there's nothing else I haven't bought, I look like I've bought it all!"
There are all the things that should be bought and what should not be bought, and it's a big bag...
What should be bought is naturally the seeds that Grandma Su explained, embroidery thread or something, and if you shouldn't buy it, you have to start with Niuniu.
After the seeds were laid, they went straight to the shop where they bought clothes, and Zhou learned a little embroidery before he got married, and often came to this house to get some work to do.
Su Qiang occasionally accompanies the Zhou family, and after coming and going, he is also familiar with each other. There is no need for Zhou to come out every time he leads the embroidery work, and Su Qiang can also help to lead it.
There weren't so many things at home for a while, so Zhou asked Su Qiang to do some embroidery for him. By the way, you can buy dot lines or something.
Everything went smoothly, but when I went out, the shopkeeper was dealing with the corners left over from making clothes.
Niuniu said that she wanted to go back to make clothes for her dolls, and she had to ask Su Qiang to buy them for her. It's not expensive, and the three pennies will wrap things around.
But they really can't think of any use for it, it's all leftovers that have been re-screened. After cutting the clothes, he picked out all the ones that could be made into purses and handkerchiefs.
So the nice thing about this is the leftovers, but there are few pieces that can make up the corners, at most they are small strips of cloth and pieces of cloth.
And when did Niuniu have a little doll, why didn't anyone know?
At that time, Niuniu was not clamoring for it, Su Qiang thought that he could go back when the time came, and wouldn't there be dolls if he made a few little puppets for Niuniu?
And a few boys went to school, and no one played with Niuniu, so it's good to make a few puppets for her to play. In this way, I persuaded Grandpa Su and helped Niuniu buy all the cloth heads.
I don't know if I should say that this road is full of coincidences, or if Niuniu has good eyes, and she can see anything messy, and she can see it.
At the meat stall, I fell in love with the big bones that others were going to feed the dogs, and there was not a trace of shaved flesh on them. I don't want to buy her meat, I just want those big bones to live or die.
It happened that the Su family wanted to buy lard back, and they bought a lot of it, and others heard that she wanted to give it to her immediately.
......
So this actually looks at the big bags and small packages, and the lard is worth a few dollars, and the others are almost all given away for free.
Even Su Qiang felt that his daughter was a little unreasonable today, maybe she rarely went shopping, she looked at everything strangely, and she wanted everything!
Ay! I can only comfort myself like this!
It's just that this angle is a little stranger, and the new fabric clothes don't need it, but some scraps; I don't want the flesh of the white flowers, but a few big bones that can knock people to death.
Niuniu doesn't know that her father is complaining about herself in her heart! Sitting on the ox cart and dangling his legs and having fun, the corners of his mouth have not been closed since the beginning.
I bought everything I wanted, and I didn't need any money!
"Niu Niu!"
Grandpa Su stood far away and began to call Niuniu, and there was irrepressible excitement in his voice.
What did Dad buy, why are you so happy? Su Qiang and Uncle had a big question in their hearts at the same time.
"Look! What is it? ”
"Maltose! Grandpa went to buy maltose for Niuniu! ”
"It's really maltose! Grandpa is so nice! ”
Niuniu got up from the ox cart, and she was eager to jump up, and everyone's hearts were pinched.
"Be careful, don't fall!"
Grandpa Su ran over in three steps and two steps, and held Niuniu with one hand. Shove the maltose into her hand.
"How dangerous this is! Don't you know that next time? Otherwise, I won't buy you candy! ”
"Okay, I got it! Thank you grandpa! ”
Niuniu realized that she was standing on the ox cart, but fortunately she didn't fall, otherwise she would have been in pain.
"Master, why did you suddenly remember to buy me maltose!"
As he spoke, he licked his face very much, revealing a satisfied expression. I could see that Grandpa Su's heart melted.
"Grandpa promised to buy it for you that day! There are some things, even if Niuniu forgets it, grandpa will not forget it. ”
Niuniu's hand holding the candy paused, and her tears almost couldn't be contained.
How fortunate she is that she can meet such a good person!
