Chapter Thirty-Eight: Business Expansion: Ding Da Goes to the Street
Hearing Sanya's description, Qiu Se couldn't help but have a new understanding of Mrs. Ding's superlativeness, is this clearly taking Zhao's anger out! It seems that I really have to stay away from her in the future, don't be beaten like Zhao, then I can't do it. And Zhang's personality is not very good, I originally felt that she was quite enthusiastic, but I didn't expect that the yin people behind her back were also so good!
For dinner, Sanya stewed half a strip of tofu with the leftover lard from the refining pot and pasted a pot of cornmeal tortillas, and Wu strongly asked Qiuse to come and eat with them. Qiu Se thought about it and agreed, she couldn't live in Ding's house, and she didn't have any contact with Ding's family! Besides, Wu and Ding Dafu still help themselves in many places.
Qiu Se came over with a plate of scrambled eggs and a plate of mixed cucumbers to add vegetables, but found that Wu and Sanya had not eaten around the kang table, and Sanya was obviously angry.
"What's going on? Where's my dad? Qiu Se paused, put the dish on the table, and asked.
"Our dad went to the main house to be a good person, and the milk gave a total of so many rations, and today is the first meal of the gang to put out the cakes, but my dad sent a plate to people in a blink of an eye! It doesn't matter if we have enough to eat! The three of them told the whole story like a cannonball.
"Sanya, you're done! It's been getting worse and worse these two days! That's your grandmother, isn't it still right for your father to honor them? Wu scolded, his tone was rare and stern, Sanya didn't dare to say any more, twisted his head to the side, still a little unconvinced.
Autumn color was busy playing the round, "Our father sent it over as a gift, and grandma will definitely have something else to eat at that time." ”
"Hmph, just wait." Sanya snorted disdainfully.
And Ding Laohan was very happy to see that Ding Dafu personally sent the cakes over, and felt that the eldest son had not forgotten his roots, so he instructed Mrs. Ding on the side, "You bring a few nests and a bowl of pickles back for the boss." "To exchange the leftover nest head of mixed noodles for fresh corn flour tortillas, Mrs. Ding is naturally happy, and in addition to being happy, she even has a few more chopsticks for pickles.
Ding Laohan instructed again: "It's better to save some money for your own life, eat less dry food at night, and use less good noodles." ”
"Dad, I see." Ding Dafu responded: "I just saw that this is the first time to open a group alone, so I broke the bank." ”
"Milk, I'm going to eat that cake." Jinbao couldn't help it when he saw Huang Chengcheng's cornmeal cakes, and knew that Mrs. Ding in the whole family loved him the most, so she began to be coquettish.
The Zhao family was beaten because of the gang, and now he still has colors on his face, so he is very dissatisfied with Ding Dafu, and at this time he took the opportunity to sarcastically say: "Big brother even if he sends cakes, why don't you send a few more, let your nephew satisfy his hunger!" ”
Ding Dafu was stunned for a while, in fact, he didn't send a lot, that pot only pasted a total of fifteen cakes, he took into account that the main house sent eight more, but he didn't expect that the Zhao family was still too little.
"Shut up, you stinky bitch! If it's too little, don't eat it. Mrs. Ding, who was in a good mood, scolded her third daughter-in-law, and her son was also scolded by the mother-in-law?
"Okay, boss, hurry back to eat, I have to go out tomorrow to ask for work!" Ding Laohan spoke, and Ding Dafu went back to his house with the pickles, but he was a little unthinking.
Sanya's face turned green when she saw the pickles that Ding Dafu brought back, "Look at it, just change it to a bunch of broken pickles." ”
"I can't stop you if you have food!" Ding Dafu had a fire in his heart, and when he saw Sanya complaining, he couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
Seeing that Sanya seemed to be about to fight back, Qiu Se hurriedly pulled her, "Hurry up and eat, it's almost cold." As he spoke, he removed the bowl from the top of the two dishes.
Seeing that the burnt egg seemed to be shining with oil, the other three all took a breath of cool air, and Wu said in a loud voice, 'It's too wasteful, too wasteful'; Ding Dafu looked at the dishes on the table and looked at the autumn colors, lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You don't need to bring food when you come to eat in the future, although your father has no ability, but it's no problem to raise one more person." ”
"Oh." Qiu Se looked at Ding Dafu's low mood and wondered, could it be that these two dishes were unhappy for him? He explained: "The eggs were bought when the room was decorated last time, and the cucumbers were brought by Gazi in the morning when he delivered the fruits. I've just added two dishes. ”
"Alright, let's eat." Ding Dafu didn't say anything more, put away the smoking pot and sat down at the kang table.
No one ate a good meal, Wu looked at the oily eggs and didn't dare to eat them, Ding Dafu was worried, and Qiu Se felt awkward that Wu had been eating eggs for himself, and only Sanya was happy to eat.
After eating, Qiu Se was just about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks but was stopped.
"You sit down for a while, and let Sanya clean up." Ding Dafu said.
Seeing him so serious, Qiu Se vaguely guessed what he was going to say, and it just so happened that she had something to say, so she sat down.
Ding Dafu pondered for a moment before he spoke, "Your mother told you during the day, right?" Then you don't want to go out in the future. ”
"I know what you mean, and I know that you are doing it for my good. But, father, mother, if I don't go out, won't others gossip about me? Autumn asked rhetorically.
"This ......" Ding Dafu and Wu were stunned and glanced at each other, they had never thought about this problem.
Wu hesitated, "This won't be, right?" We're all at home......"
"Who knows if you're staying home or running away with someone!" Qiu Se unceremoniously said another possibility, "The mouth grows on others, and it is possible for others to say anything, and we can't control this." But our ears grow on us, and it is up to us to hear or not. ”
"So what do you want to do?" Ding Dafu seemed to feel that this daughter would not listen to him, so he asked directly.
Qiu Se groaned for a while and said his thoughts, "Now this canned food business is just right, and I'm still worried that one person can't sell it, so it's just that my father won't go with them to carry the work in the future, so help me sell canned food." ”
Ding Dafu frowned deeply, and only after a while did he burst out of a sentence, "Is there too much for two canned food on the dock?" ”
"Dad, I'm on the dock, you can sell it in the alley like a merchant! When I came back today, there were still people in the alley buying from me! ”
"Why do I think you seem to agree with the big girl to go out?" The more Wu listened, the more wrong he became, and he couldn't help but interrupt the conversation between the father and daughter, and asked his husband dissatisfied.
Ding Dafu was silent. To be honest, although he swore in front of Ding Laohan and his family that he wanted to do business to make money to buy medicine for his daughter-in-law, he really asked him to go out to sell but found that he didn't know what to do! At this time, Qiu Se said that he wanted to go out to continue his business, which undoubtedly helped him solve a big problem.
"Mother, do you want me to be scolded every day at home or beaten like a third aunt? I have a bad temper, what if I get into an argument with my milk? "Knowing that the Wu family felt sorry for herself, Qiu Se simply moved Mrs. Ding out, especially since she had just beaten someone today, what if she was addicted to beating and rushed to her? I believe that the Wu family will not let themselves be beaten.
"Then you can't run away! How can you marry when the time comes! Wu sighed worriedly.
"Mother, as long as I save a rich dowry, are you afraid that no one will marry?" Qiu Se smiled a little proudly, and continued: "Besides, those people who chew the root of their tongue haven't come to me to say, if they dare to come, I will smoke her." What's more, now that my father is going out with me, you should be even more relieved. ”
"Then you are not allowed to quarrel with anyone else." Wu was still uneasy, and told Ding Dafu to take care of Autumn Color outside, in short, after some lip service, Wu finally agreed to go out to do business together.
Autumn color asked Sanya to cook canned food at home tomorrow, so she put away the dishes and went back to the house to sleep.
Early the next morning, Qiu Se and Sanya cooked two pots of canned food together, and first filled their own buckets, Ding Dafu also borrowed flat poles and wooden barrels from Ding Laohan, and Qiu Se helped fill another bucket for him, and divided his porcelain bowl in half with him. After locking the door, Qiu Se once again told Sanya the key points of cooking canned food, and then left with Ding Dafu.
"Dad, are you still going to sell cakes?" Seeing that there was still a basket hanging from the hook in front of Ding Dafu's flat burden, Qiu Se couldn't help but ask. Early in the morning, she saw Wu's laborious kneading of tortillas. asked them what they were doing, and they only said that they planned to sell it, and looking at the current situation, it must be Ding Dafu who came to sell it.
"Yes." Ding Dafu was very uncomfortable by the neighbors in the alley, and hung his head deeply.
"Yo, isn't this the boss of the Ding family? What are you doing here? Hey, what are you doing so fast? A neighborhood lady wanted to inquire, but she didn't want Ding Dafu to go fast.
Qiu Se smiled at the lady and hurriedly followed, until he walked out of the alley to the street outside, and Qiu Se caught up with Ding Dafu, who was slowing down.
"Dad, why didn't you shout just now?" Autumn Colors gasped and couldn't help asking.
"What are you shouting? It's all neighborhoods. Ding Dafu felt that the people on the street were looking at him, and he felt uncomfortable again.
Qiu Se guessed that he was too thin-skinned and embarrassed, but if he wanted to do business, he didn't even dare to shout, so he could only use Wu to cheer him up, "Dad, no matter who it is, you have to shout, otherwise what will happen to my mother and the baby in her belly?" Now you can only make money by pointing to this. ”
Hearing Qiu Se say this, Ding Dafu reluctantly raised his head and walked, but he still couldn't open his mouth to sell.
"Canned sugar water, a penny a bowl!" There was no way, Qiu Se could only demonstrate to him first, "Dad, you also shout like me." ”
Ding Dafu raised his face slightly, didn't look at the pedestrians on the road, and puffed up his strength before shouting out a sentence of 'canned sugar water', the voice was small and pitiful, and he only heard it in the autumn color next to him.
Autumn praised with a clear conscience: "It's good, it's much louder than the first time I shouted." Dad, you keep shouting, how much are the tortillas going to sell for shouting together. ”
Ding Dafu seemed to have confidence to be recognized, and when he shouted again, his voice was much louder, "Canned sugar water, one article and one bowl; Tortillas are penny or two. ”
That's it, at the beginning, it was Qiu Se who shouted Ding Dafu and shouted, and then Qiu Se shouted Ding Dafu and shouted twice, and someone really came to buy canned food.
The autumn color was completely handed over to Ding Dafu, and he watched from the sidelines. I saw that his hands were shaking badly, and the canned food was spilled a lot, so he had to add it again, and he almost overflowed when he was too full, but fortunately, he made a lot of money, and he had a more successful start, and then it sold more and more smoothly. Qiu Se had been following behind, and seeing that Ding Dafu was now completely able to deal with the buyer alone, he went to the dock with his burden.
