Chapter 16: Business Begins After the Flood
Gao Shaoming and the other three converged, Qiao Hao stayed at the temporary rescue point as a woman, and the other three joined the rescue and disaster relief ranks.
This is more than a month.
After the rain, the sky is clear, the flowers outside the village are vibrant, the lush trees are dyed with new green, the flowers fall on the clear stream, Hao Hao leans on the wall, and looks at the reflection of the gurgling water.
The villagers in the distance laughed and laughed, this season was the summer lotus is in full bloom, if there is a chance, they will hold the boat into the flower lake, pick lotus pods and sweet lotus roots to make delicious.
It's a pity that Hao Hao can only think about it, the fresh lotus root with the skin peeled is snow-white, cut into small slices and sprinkled with a little osmanthus nectar, and the sweet taste is scattered, and Hao Hao will make some at home in previous years.
Sitting in front of the window, I heard a pleasant sound coming from the window......
……
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
The heavy snow fell on the ground one after another, the surrounding was white, the wind was howling, and Hao Hao tightened the down jacket on his body. She made it herself, taking wool and duck down, and filling it to completion.
"Daddy's eating." Hao Hao shouted at the sheepfold.
"Here we are." Xu Laohan was not very suitable for Hao Hao's new down jacket, and he was afraid that it would be worn out, so he still wore his worn cotton jacket and added grass to the lamb in the sheepfold.
This little lamb was added two months ago, Hao Hao worked in the orchard for half a year, received more than 700 yuan, went to the city, bought clothes, and business utensils.
After inquiring about the price, she decided to go to a nearby county to sell near a coal mine, and when she first started business, she wanted to start with cooked food, and sell some modern xiaolongbao by the way, and Shaanxi Province's special snacks, an improved version of meat sandwich buns.
In the eighties, just after the reform and opening up, people's living standards are not high, but there is still a thirst for food and drink, Hao Hao's raw materials are fed in the space, no cost, that is, the slaughter of things will have to trouble Xu Laohan.
In the process of waiting, Hao Hao thought a lot and planned the future path.
"Woman, you hold the baby, be careful that the baby is cold and cold,. I'll pinch your goat's milk for you today. Xu Laohan looked at his granddaughter in the red down jacket, the child has grown really fast in the past six months, from the size of a broom to the height of his calf, and it is white and tender, better than any little doll he has ever seen.
"Dad, the baby is not afraid of wearing thick, and how many times have I told you, put on the new padded jacket I made for you, you look at what this piece on your body has rotted, it is not frost-resistant." Hao Hao couldn't help but say.
"The woman is fine, the old clothes are worn for work, and the new ones are worn when I go out. Let's go back, there is only one last process left today, and the sweet stroller is ready. Xu Laohan has also become smart recently, and immediately changed the topic.
In the past six months, he feels that his body is getting better and better, probably because he has eaten abundantly at every meal, and all the nutrients he lost in the past have been replenished.
"Dad, you have to remember what I said, sleep after eating, I want to prepare things for tomorrow's business, I do business outside, you have to remember to cook on time and eat on time, and when I make money, let's raise a pig next year, raise a few cows, and kill ourselves what meat we want to eat." Hao Hao lowered her head and teased Xiao Tiantian in her arms as she spoke, she was really getting better and better-looking, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, cherry mouth, white and tender skin, her heart was about to sprout.
"Woman, you are doing business alone, Dad, I don't worry, I will accompany you tomorrow to explore the road first." Xu Laohan looked at Hao Hao, his daughter-in-law has also undergone earth-shaking changes in the past six months, not to mention the whole person's spirit, and she is even more handsome than when she first married her son.
In this way, he was not very worried about his daughter-in-law going out, but he still helped to explore the way, so he could rest assured that his daughter-in-law was doing business alone.
"What about the sheep and chickens in the house?" Hao Hao asked.
"I'll prepare food and drink in advance, and I'll be back when I'm settled." Xu Laohan had already thought about it.
"Okay." Hao Hao hurriedly agreed, the first time she went out, she was unfamiliar with many situations, and she was not afraid of being accompanied by someone.
Lunch was still hearty.
Hao Hao made noodle soup and prepared side dishes, and the next meal was much better than in previous months, with new tricks, such as pickled garlic, pig's head meat, duck neck, etc.
"Dad's lunch is ready, I'm going to feed the big and small black, bring them tomorrow, and when you come back, you will take the little black and leave the big black for me." Hao Hao said again.
"These two wolf dogs are too fierce, and I am afraid that it will not be good to take them out, so I will leave them at home." Xu Laohan thought about the two dogs in the courtyard that were as fierce as wolves, and he was afraid that it would be bad if he hurt people.
"Daddy, they're very obedient, but I'll take one with me tomorrow and arm them by the way, so that I'm not afraid of biting." Hao Hao thought about it, she had to dress Da Hei and put on a mask, so that she would not be afraid of biting.
"Since you have figured out a way, let's watch it, my old man won't get involved." Xu Laohan knew that Hao Hao had an idea, so he immediately nodded in agreement. He was going to eat now, because the smell was so tempting.
Hao Hao looked at Xu Laohan and didn't want to talk anymore, and knew that today's meal was very successful.
She quietly walked out of the house and went straight to her own.
She kept her in her own house, and as soon as she raised her feet and entered the house, she saw two dogs surrounding Xiao Tiantian, letting her pull the puppy's ears.
And these two big dogs are as quiet as children, and there is no movement no matter how they tear them.
"Tian Tian knows how to bully her partner at such a young age?" Hao Hao smiled helplessly.
"Ahh
"Tiantian will wait for my mother to serve the meal, and then hug you." Hao Hao ignored it ruthlessly, and went to serve the meal first, and as soon as the big and small Erhei heard that there was food to eat, they immediately followed behind Hao Hao.
"Go and watch Tian Tian and watch her fall. I'll take care of your meal. Hao Hao turned around and shook her legs, because the two puppies pulled her legs, and she couldn't move.
"Wangwang" Dahei saw that Hao Hao ignored himself, and hugged Hao Hao's leg without claws.
"Don't worry, look at Tiantian." Hao Hao shook his legs helplessly.
"Ahh
The baby grows bigger and bigger, she can't take care of it alone, sometimes she is in a hurry, and this doll that is not half a year old is very difficult to take care of.
However, it was precisely because of Tiantian's company that she felt that this long night was not lonely and lonely.
In the 21st century, information technology is so advanced that everyone has a mobile phone or can access the Internet on the spot, but in the early 80s, in this impoverished mountainous area, there was not even a road, and you still had the luxury of a mobile phone, which was really whimsical.
If it weren't for the baby and the dog, she felt that sooner or later she would have collapsed.
Hao Hao fed his daughter a mouthful of porridge, watched her smack her mouth, and couldn't help but smile.
This little person, like his daughter, is the same as his daughter, six or seven months is this cute and cute look, it is estimated that he is well nourished in the belly, learns everything quickly, can run and speak before he is a year old, and can understand what others say, and echo a sentence from time to time.
That made the family laugh, and the mother-in-law praised her granddaughter for being more painful. Now that I think about it, it makes me want to cry.
"Wangwang" Erhei finished eating his own meal, stretched his head over, and squeezed directly into Dahei's bowl, causing Dahei to scream.
"Erhei, don't make trouble." Hao Hao turned around and scolded in a low voice.
"Hmm" Erhei clamped his tail and looked up at Hao Hao, a pair of black eyes, staring at her wet, hoping to ask for her understanding.
"You can't ask for my forgiveness like this, go to the next room and see if my father has finished eating?" Hao Hao has a hard heart, but he just ignores Erhei.
No, Erhei went out wagging his tail.
This little skill was discovered by Hao Hao a few days ago, and since then, Daddy Xu's cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks after eating has been taken over by Erhei.
"Tian Tian is full." Hao Hao looked at the girl in front of him, looking like he couldn't sleep, and couldn't help asking.
"Ahhhh
Hao Hao got up and hugged her over, skillfully breastfeeding, thanks to such a golden finger, otherwise her body would not recover well, and the child would not be able to eat well, where would there be such a happy day today.
Taking advantage of the feeding time, Hao Hao has already planned to sell it tomorrow.
Cooked food, divided into lo-mei and spicy, spiced three flavors, the current test stage, can not be too complicated, and other complementary food, just get some meat sandwich bun, this she is the best at this, because the meat sandwich bun, she is very experienced.
Not because she is a foodie, nor because she has studied for this, but when she was about eight or nine years old when she was a child, her family was short of manpower, and her parents were farming.
Maybe no one believes it, you are an eight or nine-year-old baby who cooks without a high stove, who believes it, but this is the case, because China is so big, there are no surprises.
After everything was organized and Xiao Tiantian was arranged, Hao Hao was busy.
Washing the pot is also a casual thing, preparing lo-mei is the most important, she washes the meat prepared in advance, divides it into several large pieces, and then cooks it in the pot.
The dog has no immunity to meat, and watching Hao Hao put the washed meat into the pot and simmer, the size of Erhei, who had just finished eating, began to make a fuss.
The low-pitched roar sounded like someone choking the neck, low but piercing, Hao Hao was so troubled that he had no choice but to make a sound.
"Don't make a fuss about the big and small two black, I'll cook it for you to eat in a while."
Sure enough, Hao Hao's words fell, and the two dogs stopped barking.
Hao Hao wiped his sweat and looked back at them, the two dogs were lying on the side of the kang, like sun-dried bacon, in the shape of a corpse, Hao Hao couldn't help but roll his eyes, and he was really speechless about these two dogs in his heart.
Xu Laohan had already slept, and when Hao Hao was preparing for meat, he took the time to go to the window to take a look, the room was dark, and Xu Laohan could vaguely hear snoring.
As soon as Xu Laohan slept, she could rest assured that she would cheat boldly, take out the vegetables in the space, prepare some for herself and the two dogs, and make the rest into ordinary vegetables.
"Treat you." Hao Hao threw a pig bone to the big and small Erhei, and was about to go to see if the noodles were good, but the big and small Erhei actually took the bone out of his plate, threw it on the stove, and then wagged his tail and returned to the kang.
Hao Hao couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, don't dogs like to eat bones, and she specially left these bones for them, why did the two dogs throw them away in disgust.
"It's really a success!" She chuckled.
Since I don't want to eat it, I won't give them bones next time, stay to make soup and give them bibimbap to eat.
