Chapter 031: Soybeans soaked in water
"Brother Xiangzi, are you really from Green Willow Village?"
From the chat just now, Ye Xiaohua already knew his name, the young man was very talkative, probably because of business, he would not seem strange to anyone, and she also knew that her name was Zeng Xiang.
Zeng Xiang is not tall and his skin is a little dark, which may also have something to do with his perennial stall under the scorching sun, he smiled and showed his white teeth, "You girl, what am I lying to you for?" ”
"What, do you still know about Green Willow Village? Have you ever been to our village? ”
Ye Xiaohua shook her head, the family that the original owner knew was also surnamed Zeng, and it was also from Luliu Village.
"Haven't been." Ye Xiaohua asked Zeng Xiang with a smile, "Brother Xiangzi, you give me your kettle, and I'll put some jam for you, the water brewed out is delicious!" ”
"This ...... How embarrassing is that? ”
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, if it weren't for you just now, I'm afraid that fat woman would have eaten more."
Zeng Xiang had seen the bright red jam and coveted it for a long time, he knew that this thing must be delicious, if it was not delicious, the fat woman would definitely not eat so much shamelessly.
"Then I'm welcome, little flower girl, if you come to set up a stall in the future, my brother will cover you, if anyone bullies you, I will help you out."
Ye Xiaohua's mouth was very sweet, "Then I'll thank Brother Xiangzi first." ”
Next, when Zeng Xiang sells his eggs, he will also help Ye Xiaohua to drink, when there are no guests, the two of them will chat for a while, and Zeng Xiang will also teach Ye Xiaohua some of his experience, such as what kind of people want to buy, what kind of people just look at it.
During the chat, Zeng Xiang also curiously inquired about why Ye Xiaohua brought her younger brother to sell things, what about the adults in the family?
It's easy to be bullied when a little baby sets up a stall.
Ye Xiaohua is not the kind of person who treats people as confidants and talks about everything in a few words, she grew up in that environment in her previous life, in fact, she is very insecure in her heart, she always feels that it is good to keep a certain distance between people.
Don't be too intimate, and don't cross that distance.
But this time, when she faced Zeng Xiang, who met for the first time, she said a lot of things, her life experience, how she was bullied, and so on.
Zeng Xiang was stunned when he heard this, "My mother, Xiaohua'er, you didn't lie to me, there is really such a person, then your uncle's family is really not a thing, how can you be so ruthless." ”
"Even I listen to the atmosphere, and your cousin, but really, I want to get married and want to live in a big house, so I forced your sister and brother to live in the cowshed, what is your cousin's name, if I see it, I will help you beat him." Zeng Xiang said a little indignant, and it was really that the life experience of these two children was too pitiful.
"Brother Xiangzi, you're so good, but you don't need to fight."
"Alas, your cousin is such a black-hearted person, who married him is really eight lifetimes of blood mold, I have to tell the girl in our village, you have to inquire carefully when you say goodbye."
"My cousin's name is Ye Teng."
"Ye Teng?" Zeng Xiang's face darkened, "Are you from Yanghe Village?" ”
After saying such a long time, Zeng Xiang really forgot to ask.
"You...... How do you know? Ye Xiaohua looked at his expression, she didn't panic at all, she thought she had guessed the right thing.
"Hmph," Zeng Xiang's face was still ugly, it was even more disgusting than eating flies, "Okay, Xiaohua, I did you a small favor, but you did me a big favor, Brother Xiangzi will definitely visit me another day, I won't tell you, there is something at home, I have to close the stall." ”
Zeng Xiang was in a hurry, and he ran away before the eggs were sold.
Xiaodouzi still likes this Brother Xiangzi, just now Brother Xiangzi gave him a hard-boiled egg, he asked while eating: "Sister, why is Brother Xiangzi gone?" ”
Ye Xiaohua hooked her lips and smiled, seeing that Zeng Xiang was a warm-hearted person, he could be regarded as teaching a wicked person a lesson and helping a good person.
After Zeng Xiang left, although Ye Xiaohua was a little bored, but fortunately, before noon, her jam was all sold, it seems that she can sell some next time, and she will have to buy some more sugar later, and strive to make more next time.
The picking period of mountain vitex is only a few days, and if you miss it, you will have to wait for next year, so you can sell it for money and hurry to the back mountain to pick more.
The jam was sold for a hundred yuan, enough to purchase things this time, there are too many things missing at home, but she is small and has little strength, and she can't carry too much back at a time, this time Ye Xiaohua plans to buy some rapeseed and plant the vacant land in the backyard of the house.
Li is too lazy, and she doesn't care if the grass grows in the backyard, so she deserves to be poor, and if she grows some potatoes, sweet potatoes and vegetables, she won't have nothing to eat in summer.
As for buying vegetables, Ye Xiaohua went to the rice grain store again, there was not much rice that the family bought last time, and she broke it this time to go back.
However, the owner and the guy of the rice shop were busy greeting customers, and they didn't have time to take care of Ye Xiaohua, she was idle and wandered around the door for a while, and when she went back, the owner of the rice shop was still very busy, and he was talking to the man standing opposite him.
"It's not that I don't accept you, big brother, your soybeans are blistered, why do I want it?"
"Just dry it."
"It's not a matter of drying, and it's not the smell of drying, big brother, it's not me talking about you, why are you so careless."
"It's cheaper." There was more pleading in the man's tone.
He seemed to think that the shopkeeper wanted to reduce the price when he said this, but unexpectedly, the shopkeeper still shook his head, "It's not a matter of money or not, I took it, it would be equivalent to smashing it in my hands, do you want to go and see whose fried sauce is and sell it to them." ”
"Boss, aren't you kidding me? Now is the time to fry the sauce, now the sauce will give maggots. ”
Ye Xiaohua put the twenty catties of rice she had just bought into the back basket, and wondered in her heart, can't you make tofu if you can't fry sauce? Wouldn't it be nice to sell it to a tofu house?
But she suddenly thought of one thing, she walked on this street several times, but she didn't see the tofu seller, is this craft too complicated, people here have not mastered this skill.
"There's no other way?" The man's posture lowered a little more.
The shopkeeper sighed and shook his head, "I can't help it. ”
Ye Xiaohua looked at the man with a sad face, and became more and more sure of her guess, it seems that the people here really don't know how to make tofu, so isn't she?
In the shopkeeper's shaking head and sighing, the man was no longer entangled, and was ready to carry a large bag of soybeans back to find a way.
Ye Xiaohua led the little bean, took two quick steps and followed, "How much are your soybeans a catty?" ”
The man's eyes lit up, and he thought he had met a nobleman, but when he turned around, he saw two dolls, and the fire in his eyes was immediately extinguished, and he smiled bitterly with a broken face: "What's the matter, little girl, do you want to buy it?" If you really buy it, it's five cents, oh no, three cents a pound. ”
The man didn't pay attention to Ye Xiaohua after speaking, probably thinking that she was a little girl who definitely couldn't come up with the money, and was just playing with him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took two steps out, Ye Xiaohua asked again: "I want to buy it, but I can't take it." ”
The man sighed, "Girl, I don't have time to joke with you!" ”
