Chapter 19 The people are in full swing
The people outside were eating the fiery pig-killing dish, and Zhong Xiaohua handed the three hundred wen in his hand to the village chief.
"And the village chief and grandfather, you have been greeting us at our house for the past two days, and you have worked hard. Take the other 100 and go back and buy something delicious for the kids. ”
The village chief pushed it a few times and didn't push it off, and couldn't help nodding lightly, and his evaluation of Xiaohua was a few points higher in his heart.
After he went out to distribute the money to the people working in the village, everyone couldn't help but look at the Zhong family's gaze, and it changed again.
Xiaohua nodded in satisfaction and raised her voice.
"Uncles and uncles, this is what you deserve. Everyone, just take it! And maybe there's something you need to help with in the future! ”
Everyone laughed and came down one after another, if the Zhong family had something to help, it would be fine.
At this time, Zhong Xiaohua's eyes swept to one of the people who didn't speak, but only cared about eating, and smiled slightly.
"And there is another happy event to tell you today. Presumably, many people in the village know that our family lost a batch of hawthorn fruits in the mountains before. Therefore, when you go back, you can bring a letter to your relatives and friends in Shili Eight Villages. Our family collects hawthorn fruit, 20 wen a catty, but to ensure good quality. ”
Everyone looks at me, I look at you, and they are all dumbfounded.
That wild fruit can be sold for twenty wen a catty? You must know that they are working now, and they are only ten cents a day.
Huzi's mother heard others say that this kind of wild fruit is called hawthorn fruit, twenty yuan a catty, and her heart is happy to bloom, she carried so many hawthorn fruits back from the mountains last time, how much does this have to sell!
She thought beautifully in her heart, but, in the face of such a large number of red and bright fruits, how can she turn these hawthorn fruits into money?
If she sells these fruits to the Zhong family, she can't take care of her face, besides, even if she is cheeky, she will definitely not accept Xiaohua's dead girl.
Huzi's mother pondered and meditated, but she might as well hear someone saying that Zhong Xiaohua made a lot of money by selling fruits once in the town.
If she charges twenty wen now, how much will she have to sell it when she gets to the town?
Thinking of this, Huzi's mother stood up and turned around in place, stretched out her hand and patted her thigh, turned around and rushed out in the direction of her house. But as soon as she rushed out a few steps, she turned her head and directly lifted the short hexagram on her body, and regardless of whether it was dirty or not, she directly poured a big elbow into it.
"Haha, I'll go back and give our head of the house more to eat."
Everyone knows what kind of character she is, and they don't care about her.
"Tiger Daddy, Tiger Daddy, where are you? Come back, come back, where are you dead? ”
Huzi's mother shouted at a sharp voice, and shouted from the house to the outside of the house, lest Huzi's father come back late, and this business will not be done.
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry? ”
Huzi's father thought something was wrong and hurriedly ran back from outside.
"Come back, I'll tell you something."
Huzi's mother stepped forward and grabbed Huzi's father, looked left and right to see that there was no one around, so she mysteriously leaned into Huzi's ear and muttered quietly.
"I said, in charge, we can be regarded as rich this time......"
"No, I'm not going, I'm going to you. I'm not going anyway. ”
Father Tiger angrily shook off Mother Hu's hand, walked to the house, sat on the stool, twisted his face to the side, and sulked.
This is something that is supposed to be someone else's thing, how can they still ......
"What do you say? You've got a lot of skills! How embarrassed am I, I picked up things on the mountain, and I didn't write the name of their Zhong family, why am I ashamed, you say...... You say! ”
Huzi's mother pounced on Huzi's father as she spoke, grabbed Huzi's clothes and pushed them indiscriminately, and took out the ability to take care of the house...... Sprinkling.
"The old lady is blind, just marry you such a wreck, look at what you will do all day long, stay at home all day long, inside and outside have to rely on the old lady to support, now give you this idea, you still feel ashamed, you are not ashamed, you earn money for me back! You give! Give it. ”
In the face of Huzi's mother's hysterical scolding, he could only stop talking, sitting on the side without speaking, and sighed helplessly......
Before dawn the next day, Huzi's father was forced by Huzi's mother to carry the burden to the town, and the day after he left, Zhong Xiaohua began to collect hawthorn fruits at home.
Because when she sold hawthorn before, she asked the shopkeeper of the restaurant to exchange some broken silver for her, so she didn't have to bother with the acquisition, and after receiving it for a day, she received three loads.
In the evening, Zhong Xiaohua went to the village chief and wanted the village chief to accompany him to the town to sell hawthorn tomorrow, after all, he is the village chief, and he will have to rely on him for many things in the future! So pushing him to the front also shows that he respects him, and there is also the need to carry the burden and ask the village chief to find a few young and powerful people.
"Grandpa the village chief, have you had dinner?"
Zhong Xiaohua began to greet sweetly when she entered the door, calling the village chief sweet to her heart.
"I've eaten, I've eaten, what's the matter? Little flower, come in and sit. ”
The village chief responded and let him into the house.
When the two of them entered the house, Zhong Xiaohua told her plan, and when the village chief heard it, he patted his thigh and said with high interest.
"Good! All right! I'll go, let me go out and walk around this old bone, how many people do you need to carry the burden? ”
"Grandpa the village chief, we don't use people in vain, let's pay others, so that they can earn money, and they are willing to contribute better for us, what do you say? Grandpa the village chief. ”
Zhong Xiaohua called grandpa in one sentence, and the village chief couldn't touch the north, not to mention, the little girl was not very old, but what she said was the truth, not only did she think a little higher about Xiaohua.
Because of the purchase of a large number of hawthorn fruits, everyone's enthusiasm has also been mobilized, and the door of the Zhong family is really lively these days! Some are back, some are picky, and they are busy.
Because the hawthorn fruit sells well, everyone is in a good mood, and the pace under their feet is also fast, and they rushed home in more than a day after a two-day journey. As soon as Zhong Xiaohua entered the courtyard, she saw the hawthorn fruit in the courtyard, and her heart was beautiful, as if she had seen a lot of silver.
She walked over to the hawthorn pile and reached out to flick the hawthorn fruit, huh? Why doesn't it feel right, why is it so hot in the fruit pile? Turning it in further, there is still a sour smell, and there are small flying insects flying.
It's bad, it seems that the fruit is bad, and she is turning it in, and she is thinking, what is going on? How could it be broken?
At this time, a villager came to deliver hawthorn, and Zhong Xiaohua asked him.
"Uncle, did you pick these hawthorn fruits from the tree, or did you pick them under the tree, can you tell me more specifics?"
"Oh, you say this hawthorn fruit? Now the fruit is completely ripe, and if you touch it slightly, it will fall to the ground, and some people don't want to go up the tree, so they hold the tree and shake it, and then pick it up on the ground, what's wrong? ”
"Oh! It's nothing, it's just that the hawthorn fruit on the ground is easy to spoil without storage, so you tell everyone, try not to shake the tree, it is better to pick it on the tree. ”
"Hmmm! Okay, I'm going to tell you. ”
Zhong Xiaohua was very happy, Zhong Xiaocao was worried, such a big pile of hawthorn fruits, wouldn't it be a pity if it broke like this, she put her hands on her cheeks, her eyes were straight, what should she do?
She dragged Zhong Xiaohua, who was excited, and told the other party about her worries.
Zhong Xiaohua smiled mysteriously and shook her head with a smile.
"Eldest sister, don't worry! I may not be the material for reading, but I am the best at making money. ”
Zhong Xiaocao saw that she was confident, but she just glanced at her angrily, and stopped talking.
And Zhong Xiaohua didn't take a break, so he went straight to the village chief's house, this matter requires the village chief to give him Zhang Luoren, and he must first make the bamboo sticks, which requires a few more people, because making bamboo sticks by hand is a bit slow.
She went to the village chief's house to explain her intentions, and the village chief also knew the urgency of the matter, so he immediately went out to find someone.
Here, Zhong Xiaohua went to Xiao San non-stop, told him the current situation, and asked him to find some partners of the same age as him, give them twenty yuan a day, and let them go to the town to sell sugar gourds, in addition, there will be a commission for selling more.
Zhong Xiaohua rushed home non-stop, she wanted to go home and try a few in person, after all, she dictated it in the restaurant before, and the chefs in the back kitchen did it, and she didn't do it herself, so she must do it herself this time.
Thankfully, she had brought some sugar with her last trip to town, and now it came in handy, she took Don out, put a pot on the fire, added water, and boiled. When sugaring, boiling, and waiting for the sugar to boil the red color, she put the worn hawthorn fruit in the sugar juice, and when the hawthorn fruit was evenly adhered to a layer of sugar juice, then took it out and threw it into the water to cool.
Zhong Xiaohua looked at her masterpiece and felt quite satisfied! It's okay to look good, take one and put it in your mouth, huh! Yes, it's crunchy on the outside, sweet and sour on the inside, I didn't expect that I would make rock sugar gourds myself, she looked at it and nodded.
The next day, with the help of her sister, Zhong Xiaohua tied more than a dozen poles with sugar gourds with hay, and at this time the village chief also brought bamboo sticks, and Xiao San also made up enough people, everything was ready, and he owed the last one - done.
At first, Zhong Xiaohua only came out temporarily, so she didn't dare to do too much, and then she took Xiao San and five children as old as him, carrying sugar gourds and preparing to set off, and before leaving, she brought three younger siblings, she wanted her younger siblings to go out to see the world.
Divide the junior and a few people into several nearby alleys and streets, and let them be in charge of each alley and street, Zhong Xiaohua took the village chief directly into the nearby restaurant.
The Drunken Immortal Building was overcrowded, Zhong Xiaohua smiled and squinted her eyes with satisfaction, and dragged the somewhat stunned village chief to an inconspicuous corner, and was about to do it, when she heard the shopkeeper calling her.
"Miss Zhong, why are you here, why are you sitting here? Hurry, hurry, please take a seat, shopkeeper, Miss Zhong is here! ”
With the shouting of the shopkeeper, everyone also looked over here, and at the same time, the shopkeeper walked this way.
"Xiao Er, say to the back kitchen, bring the buns that are ready to be released here."
"Okay!"
The shopkeeper instructed the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper left.
"No, why did she come late, you have to give it to her first, no,"
"That's right! We've all been waiting for so long, why? ”
"There should be a first-come, first-served everything, right?"
……
The voices of discontent in the surrounding crowd came and went.
Why? They have been waiting here since dawn.
And the buns are limited every day, if there is one more cage, what will they do? Isn't it in vain today?
