On the other side of the wharf, several large ships are docked at the wharf in an orderly manner, and two boards are set up between the big ships and the wharf, on which are workers carrying goods.

These anti-bag men are all young and strong men, and they have a lot of strength. The work is calculated by quantity, and there is a steward sitting there at the dock, carrying a bag to give you a special bamboo stick.

When you arrive at the warehouse, there is also a bookkeeper at the door of the warehouse, and he signs it to the bookkeeper, and Mr. draws the word "positive" under your name, and signs a stroke. How much work to carry, and count how many "positive" words to check out at night.

Live on the same day, settle on the same day, and there is no arrears.

When there is a lot of work, the workers on the docks are too busy, and when there is little work, it depends on how you have a relationship with the steward. If something happens, the dock steward will just order it away.

Zhao Dashan is the relationship between Huang Laohan, Huang Laohan has a familiar old brother at the dock, and he used to live on the dock. Now he doesn't carry the job, because he has been mixing in the dock for a long time and has a wide range of people, so he has pulled a group of people, and he specializes in taking jobs to earn some face money.

When the three little girls came over, there was a small vendor standing next to the No. A warehouse, all of whom were selling food.

Some carry a basket with home-cooked peanuts and corn. Some bring a basin with washed grapes, dates, and pears......

These are snacks, and they are basically the little heads of the running boats, or the stewards on the docks, or the family members in the passing passenger ships will come to buy them.

There are also people who make cakes at home, carry a large pot of water, and come to sell them, and the business is also good. Some of these workers who were working at the wharf were far away from home and were reluctant to go to the town snack shop to eat, so they bought a cake here, drank cold water, and hurried to work.

One picture is convenient, and the other is reluctant to delay the time on the way back.

Not far away, a group of four or five-year-old children were playing in the sand and gravel on one side, either the children of the dock workers, or the children of the aunts and aunts who set up the stalls.

A slightly stronger little boy was a bit overbearing, and with a push, he pushed a little girl of four or five years old to the ground. The little girl cried loudly, but no one cared about them, but a bunch of children.

At this moment, a girl carrying a basket came out of the small vendor, thirteen or fourteen years old, walked over and picked up the crying little girl, took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears. Then he took two peanuts out of the basket and handed them to the little girl, as if to comfort her in a whisper.

A few children next to him also gathered around when they saw that the little girl had peanuts, and the girl with the basket took out another handful of peanuts from the basket, and each of them gave one to them.

The chubby little boy put down the wood he was digging for and came over, and the little girl shook her head at him, as if to say that he had beaten someone, so don't give him peanuts, Huang Dou guessed.

As a result, the girl who carried the basket also gave the little chubby boy a peanut, and the little chubby boy peeled the flowers and put them in his mouth, smiled and took the little girl's hand, and the little girl stopped crying and obediently gave it to the little chubby boy.

The children were happy to have peanuts, and cheered and rushed to the higher mound, and together they lifted a stone that was pressed against the mound.

The girl with the basket looked at it, and then walked back to the middle of the peddlers, and stood, waiting quietly for the business to come to the door.

Soybeans and Xiaoyu pulled the pineapples, looked in front of each stall, and didn't buy them, but turned around and turned to the front of the No. A warehouse.

Zhao Dachuan is standing at the door of No. 5 warehouse A to count the goods, the Zhao brothers have studied private school for several years and can read and write, otherwise this kind of counting will not be Zhao Dachuan's turn.

In the distance, Zhao Dashan and several workers were carrying a bag of goods to the No. 5 warehouse, and the goods were a little heavy, which made Zhao Dashan's spine a little bent.

This is still a sixteen-year-old child, but he has become the breadwinner of the family, the main laborer.

Huang Dou couldn't bear to look at it, turned around and pulled Huang Pear and Zhao Xiaoyu to walk back again, and walked in front of the girl who sold boiled corn and fried peanuts.

This is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, dressed very cleanly, but there are several patches on her clothes and pants, and she knows that her family is not good at a glance.

However, the little girl looks good, her eyebrows are clear, she has two small dimples in her smile, and her exposed teeth are white and neat: "Little sister, what do you want to buy?" ”

"You have to peel the shell of this fried peanut, it's too troublesome, I want to eat it without peeling." Soybean said seriously.

When Zhao Xiaoyu heard this, he hurriedly and secretly pulled the corner of the soybean's clothes, Zhao Xiaoyu thought to himself, peanuts are in the field at home, and it costs money to buy them, what a waste.

"The peeled ones won't be soft for two days, it's not delicious, and my business is not very good, if you want to eat it, I'll fry you a little peeled tomorrow, can you get it tomorrow?" The little girl was also very patient.

"Okay." Huang Dou raised his hand with a smile: "Give you two cents, calculate the deposit, I will take it tomorrow, if this point does not come, you will sell it to others, someone will definitely ask for it." ”

"No, no, you just have to come." The little girl hurriedly shook her head: "My name is Wang Dani, you can come to me directly tomorrow, if you don't come, I won't lose money by selling it to others." ”

"Then I'll tell you how to fry, I want two servings, one sweet and one salty."

The aunt who sold the cakes next to her laughed when she heard it: "Little sister, I know that boiled peanuts are salty, and I haven't seen sweet peanuts yet. ”

Huang Dou didn't argue, pulled Wang Dani to the side, and said as he walked: "You go back and prepare a bowl of peanuts, wash it with water, and pour it out." Put it in a clean pan and fry until the skin bursts. Then, prepare a three-tone spoon of white sugar, put a little water in the pot, add the sugar, fry until it becomes caramel color, and then put the freshly fried peanuts in and fry until it hangs the pulp. This is the sweet peanut I wanted, do you remember? ”

"Remember, but, but I don't have any sugar at home." Wang Dani said a little embarrassed.

Huang Dou didn't care about her, and continued: "Prepare another bowl of peanuts, boil some boiling water, put the peanuts in the boiling water, cook for a minute, take it out and set it aside for later use." Prepare a bowl with water in it and put the right amount of salt. ”

"What's the right amount?" Wang Dani couldn't help but ask.

Soybeans were asked: "Well, if you put more salt in a bowl of peanuts for cooking, you will have half more than cooking." ”

"Oh, got it, and then what?"

"Then dissolve the salt, put the peanuts in the pot and fry until the peanuts are cooked, and then put the melted salt water in and continue to fry, until the skin is a little crispy."

Zhao Xiaoyu looked at the soybeans strangely, it's so troublesome, are people willing to do it, do you really want to eat it, can't you go back and ask your sister to fry it for you!

Wang Dani looked at the soybeans with sparkling eyes: "Stir-fried like this, it should be delicious, little sister, how did you think of it." ”

"My grandfather and my dad like to drink, and then my sister will give them fried peanuts to drink, my dad likes sweet, my dad and uncles like salty."

Huang Li opened her mouth and looked at the third sister talking nonsense seriously, when did our family fry salty peanuts and sweet peanuts again? How did I not know? When I go back, I'm going to ask my grandfather, and I'm sure he ate it secretly.

"Little sister, then you come tomorrow, I'll fry it for you and bring it over." Wang Dani couldn't help but reach out and touch the head of the soybean, these three little girls are so good-looking, good-looking and well-behaved.

Soybeans have a black line, and I hate to be touched the most, who is the child?

"Go home quickly, there are a lot of people on the dock, be careful of touching them." Wang Dani patted the dust on the hem of Huang Li's trousers, and carefully tightened Huang Li's already loose braids: "Go back quickly." ”

"Big sister, goodbye." Huang Li obediently took the hand of the soybean and waved to Wang Dani.

Soybean pulled the pineapple and followed Zhao Xiaoyu for a few steps, thought about it and ran back: "You can try to make less salty and sweet mouth, put as much sugar as you want, put as much salt as you want, grasp the proportion, do it well, wrap it in oily paper, how much is a pack, sell it and try it, maybe someone likes it." ”

Wang Dani listened, her eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally the dimples at the corners of her mouth became deeper and deeper: "Little sister, thank you, will you come tomorrow?" ”

"Not necessarily, you don't have to wait for me, if I want to eat, I can ask my sister to fry, you can fry less, sell more." said that soybeans finally put their minds at ease, it's not good for people to be too honest, and they don't know how to hint.

When he got home, the little black dog came running from afar and circled around Soybean's trouser legs. Huang Li smiled and reached out to hug it, and Huang Dou kicked the little black dog away: "You go and wash your hands and then hug them, only hug them for a while, and wash your hands again after hugging them." ”

Huang Li obediently ran to the well, scooped out a scoop of water from the bucket of water, poured it into the basin on the side, and carefully washed his hands.

After washing, I washed my face with a towel, hung up the towel, poured the water into the gutter by the vegetable field, hurriedly ran over, picked up Xiao Hei, and began to open the human-dog chat mode.

The puppy has been here for two or three days, and the brothers, sisters, uncles and nephews have given several names, but the soybeans are not satisfied, and finally they are called Xiao Hei Xiaohei.

Old man Huang took his son and a few older grandsons back to Huangjiagou, and the people in Huangjiagou who lived in the courtyard and outside the courtyard also went back.

The shacks were torn down and piled up in a messy corner of the yard. Huang Damiang and Huang Sanniang cleaned up for a long time before they could barely sort out a yard and a few houses.

Aunt Huang had a big belly, went in and out and looked back a few times, feeling a little uncomfortable, the house was ruined, not to mention that she was distressed that the little soybean sisters all watched.

But what can be done, there are many people, all huddled together, and the walls will inevitably leave stains and scratches.

These houses have just been bought, but Huang Dou proposed to renovate them, and the walls are all white walls with limestone tuning and brushing. The furniture is also a new style that Huang Laosan took his son to play according to the requirements of his daughter.

Huang Dou pulled Huang Pear and muttered for a while, Huang Pear ran over and pulled Huang Si Aunt to talk, and Huang Si Aunt finally shifted her attention to her daughter.

Huang Dou thought, when the autumn planting is over, I still have to repaint these walls, otherwise those stained footprints will really not be able to see.

I don't know what these people think, borrowing someone else's house, making stains can still be understood, what does it mean to make one dirty footprint after another, can't you sleep in the middle of the night and climb the wall?
