Chapter 13: The First Pot of Gold

Early the next morning, the genius Ma Ma Liang got up.

At this time, Yu Guixiang was already cooking breakfast in the stove room, and the pig's trotter soup left over from yesterday was put in some fresh mushrooms that he hadn't eaten last night.

The fragrance is still attractive, just smelling the smell can hook the soul!

After Xia Qiqi finished washing, he went to the stove room to help.

Actually, there is nothing to help, the rice is ready, she just needs to eat a bowl of hot mushroom soup!

After a bowl of soup, Xia Qiqi's stomach felt full.

"Mother, do you want to ...... You are resting at home today, and I went to the town to sell the pig's trotters myself, and I will help you inquire about the work by the way? ”

Xia Qiqi asked.

This trip to Ping'an Town is also a mountain road of more than ten miles, and it takes an hour just to walk.

This is still the speed of a normal person, if you count your weak body and Yu Guixiang, the woman who was five months pregnant......

According to a rough estimate, it will also take an hour and a half, that is, three hours!

She gritted her teeth, endured it, and it passed. But Yu Guixiang, a pregnant woman, can stand such a long time of traveling?

"Mother is fine!" Yu Guixiang shook her head, "This family, you can't be left alone!" ”

Yu Guixiang's face was full of tenacity.

No one would have imagined that after living in such poverty, Yu Guixiang, a woman, would want to take on the burden of this family!

Xia Qiqi subconsciously glanced at the direction of the room, at this moment, Xia Duofu was still sleeping.

"Qiqi, it's not easy for your father, he is going to work for Rich Yang today, and it's a matter of all the time!"

Chadorf was a carpenter, and his skills were not bad.

Therefore, when the farm is not working, he repairs some broken tables and chairs for the nearby landlords, or makes some furniture.

You can also get some wages, but what's the use?

All the money went into Mrs. Xia's pocket, and the Xia family had four rooms, and she had never seen a single copper.

But Xia Duofu is still so filial, a bowl of common mushroom soup, you have to get a bowl for the old woman!

"Mother, you hurry up and have breakfast, let's go to town, it's not easy to sell pig's trotters if it's late!"

Similar to Xia Qiqi's calculation, it did take more than an hour for the two old, weak, sick and disabled to walk to Ping'an Town.

When I came, the sky was still numb, and when I arrived in the town, the sun came out to dry my butt!

Three pig's trotters were put in a bamboo basket on Xia Qiqi's back, waiting to be sold later.

Almost without hesitation, she asked Yu Guixiang next to her directly.

"Mother, where is the biggest restaurant in town?"

Yu Guixiang was stunned and didn't come back to her senses for a while.

Didn't the girl take the pig's trotters to the market and sell them?

seemed to know what Yu Guixiang was thinking, Xia Qiqi took the initiative to explain, "Mother, there are many people buying things in the market, but we have three pig's trotters, and we may not be able to get rid of them immediately."

What's more, the people in the bazaar don't necessarily have a good eye, knowing that our pig's trotters are the trotters of wild boars! ”

Yu Guixiang nodded knowingly.

She personally led Xia Qiqi to the largest restaurant in the town, Babaolou.

It is said that this is a restaurant opened by a very powerful staff member in the county, and on weekdays, the people who go to eat are the squires who have some money nearby, or the landlords of some fields.

People like Xia Qiqi, who are covered in patched clothes, can't go in.

So Yu Guixiang still couldn't hold back, and pulled the sleeve of Laxia Qiqi, "Qiqi, let's go to the market, it's not for us to come here!" ”

"Mother, it's all here, why don't you give it a try!"

Xia Qiqi said, and walked to the Eight Treasure Building.

Yu Guixiang's heart jumped to her throat, and she stepped on the ground of Babaolou, as if she was stepping on cotton, and her feet were soft.

Unsurprisingly, he was still at the door, but he was stopped by the guys in the restaurant.

"What are you two doing? Beggars are not allowed to enter the Eight Treasure Building! "Dude.

"I'm sorry, we...... Let's go! Yu Guixiang apologized desperately, for fear that Xia Qiqi and herself would offend the big guy in front of her and lose their lives.

She hurriedly pulled Xia Qiqi outside, but Xia Qiqi was unmoved.

She shook Yu Guixiang's hand back and smiled at the guy: "This big brother, we are not beggars, we want to ask, do you want my fresh wild boar trotters for the procurement of your restaurant."

Our wild boar trotters, made of pig's trotter soup, or braised pig's trotters, are hundreds of times better than ordinary pig's trotters! ”

"Let's go, who wants your broken pig's trotters!" The guy is obviously not a good person, he doesn't look at the bamboo basket handed over by Xia Qiqi, and he pushes Xia Qiqi vigorously.

Xia Qiqi's first reaction was to protect Yu Guixiang, and said in his mouth: "This big brother, I see that you are also a good person, blessed and long-lived, and you will have great achievements in the future!"

It's just that my mother is still pregnant, and we are not beggars, but we just want to support ourselves and exchange for some food for the Tibetan winter.

Rather than let us leave in such a pitiful way? You might as well do good deeds and help us ask the steward, if you want this pig's trotter, you will also be a hero of the restaurant.

If you don't want to, you won't have anything to lose, and my mother and I will leave immediately, so as not to cause you trouble, will you? ”

Xia Qiqi's attitude was very respectful.

The young man has been called all his life, and he has never been touted, and he was praised by Xia Qiqi so much, he really had the heart to do good deeds!

"Yes, look at you too, wait!"

The man turned around and went into the restaurant, and after a while, when he came out again, he brought a lean man with him.

The man was tall and thin, with dark skin, and when he saw Xia Qiqi, he asked, "Do you have wild things?" ”

"Yes!" Xia Qiqi handed the bamboo basket to the man.

The man grabbed one of the pig's trotters, looked back and forth, and finally nodded, "It is indeed a wild boar's trotters, you come with me, and I will take you to see my master!" ”

As soon as the man spoke, the guy didn't say anything, and let Xia Qiqi and Yu Guixiang follow him into the Eight Treasure Building.

The environment in the restaurant is indeed luxurious, and it can be seen that it is for the rich.

However, compared with the modern five-star restaurant that Xia Qiqi saw, it is not half a star worse.

led Xia Qiqi and Yu Guixiang to the back kitchen, at this moment, in the back kitchen, chickens were flying and dogs were jumping, and a fat man was chasing a chicken in the yard.

The chicken's movements were agile, and the fat man chased him for a long time, but he didn't catch it.

Just when the chicken arrived in front of Xia Qiqi, Xia Qiqi's eyes were quick and grabbed the chicken.

The chicken fluttered a few times, couldn't break free, and resigned to his fate!

The fat man saw that Xia Qiqi grabbed his chicken, and hurriedly walked in front of Xia Qiqi, at this time, the black and thin man next to him said to the fat man:

"Master, I have checked the goods, this pig's trotters are indeed the hooves of wild boars, not fake domestic pigs, do you want them?"

Taking Xia Qiqi's chicken, the fat man nodded heavily, "Of course!" ”

"That's ...... price"

"You give twenty wen a pound!"
