Chapter 16: White Rice and White Noodles
In his previous life, he felt the heat and coldness of the world, and was suddenly read by a little girl, and Chai Shuiqing's heart was a little unspeakably sour.
"I'll take the mushrooms, you can take this back and eat it slowly."
Saying that, afraid that she would refuse, Chai Shuiqing leaned closer and added in a whisper: "My father left me a lot of millet rice." ”
Li Xiufeng, who originally wanted to eat sweet potatoes, did not postpone it, and after hearing Chai Shuiqing talk about millet rice, he pursed his lips and said indignantly: "You, you should have asked your father and mother to take you to the town, even if you eat bran vegetables, it is better than being called by a thief in the village!" ”
She had said this more than a hundred times, but unfortunately her good friend in front of her was indifferent.
Chai Shuiqing blinked, she naturally wanted to go to the town, but if she was detained, it was better not to go.
Li Xiufeng sat on a stone and began to sort out the wild vegetables picked today, and after picking them, he went to the river to wash them.
"It's only the first month, and your father and mother won't be back until next month."
Even if it is spring planting time, it is impossible for Chai Shouxiao and his wife to come back.
Because even if they want to come back and help with the work in the fields, it will only be done if the thief agrees! Instead of doing farm work, the thief naturally wants her son and daughter-in-law to go to the town to make money.
Listening to Li Xiufeng talk about the Chai family, Chai Shuiqing also sat aside to help pick vegetables, without words.
It took a long time before she suddenly asked, "Xiufeng, have you ever been to the town?" ”
When Li Xiufeng heard this, she made a movement in her hand, and nodded with bright eyes.
However, his eyes were full of nostalgia, and he said excitedly: "Of course I have been there, two years ago, when I sold mountain goods, my father took me and my brother there." It's so lively in town! You don't know, those people are well dressed......"
Chai Shuiqing's words made Li Xiufeng suddenly interested, and she said everything she said and heard.
Listening to Li Xiufeng say a lot, Chai Shuiqing also learned some information from it.
For example, what shops are there in the town, and the price of some ordinary things.
"My dad even bought me noodle soup! And a head rope. ”
Li Xiufeng said, looking at Chai Shuiqing's expression again, there was no envy, but she also thought of the situation of the Chai family, and she didn't mention these anymore.
Chai Shuiqing didn't care about this, she was still an adult in her bones, where could she be coveted by a noodle soup and a head rope!
"Have you ever eaten white noodles? I heard that rich people eat white noodles. ”
This is what Chai Shuiqing is talking about, she just wants to inquire about the situation here.
Li Xiufeng shook her head, she also wanted to eat white noodles, but she had never seen it! But in front of her good friends, she was embarrassed to show that she hadn't seen it.
So, he raised his chin and said proudly: "I heard the second brother say that there are white-flour steamed buns to eat in Qingfuxiang in the town." My second brother has seen it, and I heard that it is whiter than the snow in winter! That incense, you can smell it from a long distance! ”
The proud little appearance provoked Chai Shuiqing to unconsciously hook the corners of his lips.
"Ordinary people can't afford to eat white noodles, right? Did anyone go to Qingfuxiang for dinner? ”
Qingfuxiang's place, in her memory, seems to have been mentioned a few times by the Chai family, that is where Chai Tianyou, the third uncle of the Chai family, has been, and he has also packed food and come back.
As for the taste, it naturally can't enter Chai Shuiqing's mouth.
Chai Shuiqing's unbelieving words made Li Xiufeng anxious, and hurriedly said: "Where, I heard from the second brother that Qingfuxiang's business is good, and the people who go in are all big officials!" ”
"Also, Qingfuxiang not only has white flour, but also large white rice. You don't know about white rice, I've heard that it's more fragrant than chestnut rice! Snow white. ”
"I heard my second brother say that some people in the town go to Qingfuxiang every month to buy white rice and white noodles."
