Chapter 24: Oranges
"The Peng family cut corners?" Jiang Yuanyuan came to be interested.
"Yes, these coffins are not made of paulownia, pine, and cypress at all, you know, the best coffins are made of nanmu, ebony, and sandalwood, although the ones they bought are not the best, but they are also medium, at least they will not be corroded in the soil for a long time, they went to the Peng family theory, and the Peng family said that their coffins must be fine, it may be that their land is not good, there are termite nests, or ah, the land is damp and corrodes the coffin, and the family can't, But I felt that it must be a coffin problem. So I found a special person to identify. ”
"At first glance, it's not a problem of land at all, this coffin is made of a mess of various scraps, only a drop of pine wood, and the middle of the coffin is empty, and there are all kinds of insect eggs on the trunk, which has been buried in the ground for a long time, can't stop the smell, and it also attracted insects, and the eggs have also hatched, resulting in such a look."
"The Peng family must not have expected that after the coffin was put on the ground, no one would open it again, but when such a thing happened, their cutting corners were so clearly discovered."
Jiang Yuanyuan pondered for a while, this is indeed a coincidence, after all, if it is a coffin that has been in the ground for several years, even if it is corroded, it can be said to be normal, after all, except for the wood of ebony, sandalwood and nanmu, basically no one can guarantee that the coffin will not corrode off for a hundred years.
"Where did you hear about this?" Jiang Yuanyuan asked.
"It was Liu Lao who told me." Sheng Rong said, "I think this thing can be used." ”
"Hmm......" Jiang Yuanyuan nodded and took a bite of noodles, "The Peng family is cheating, it is impossible to just make a fake, they will definitely suppress this matter, hearsay is unfounded after all, we must give them a solid evidence." ”
"Then, at the critical moment, release it together!" Sheng Rong said with a smile, his thoughts coincided with hers.
Jiang Yuanyuan put down her chopsticks and smiled.
"Since the handle has been sent to us, whether it is true or not, we must make it real, and hold on to it." The smile is sweet, and the words are spoken, but there is no mercy.
Sheng Rong's gaze moved to Zhao Hui, who walked out of front of the teahouse over there, he smiled, and raised his hand to fix Jiang Yuanyuan's hair.
They deliberately sat here, just so that Zhao Hui could clearly see their every move, no matter what, talking about a list that is not considered to be making money, basically will be a little unhappy, a little small action is not surprising, they just showed frowning, happy, were all seen by Zhao Hui in their eyes, seeing this, Zhao Hui will only think that they are easy to satisfy the little citizens.
"Let's go back when you're done!" Sheng Rong stood up and clapped his hands, Jiang Yuanyuan looked at Sheng Rong's empty bowl, and then saw that she still had more than half of the bowl left.
When others come out to eat, they call it eating, and when she comes out to eat, they call it a loss.
The two of them wandered slowly on the street, passing by a mask shop, Jiang Yuanyuan suddenly thought of the two masks she bought last time, she was stunned after being beaten, and never remembered that there was such a thing, seeing the mask, Jiang Yuanyuan pursed her lips, she involuntarily stood still, and pulled Sheng Rong to the vendor's side.
She looked around, and didn't find any better than the two she liked last time, and couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, Jiang Yuanyuan looked left and right, and saw a good one.
This is a full-face cover, but after taking it down, Jiang Yuanyuan found that this could actually be separated.
The left and right are the same half, and together they are just one piece.
The styles and patterns on both sides are different, but they won't be very inconsistent together, Jiang Yuanyuan has played it several times, and it feels very good.
"Boss, how much?"
"Girl, this fifteen wen in your hand." The boss said.
Jiang Yuanyuan was just about to take out the money bag, but she stretched out a pair of hands and handed the money over, Jiang Yuanyuan looked back in surprise, Sheng Rong was taking back her money bag as if nothing happened.
"I like it! Take it if you like it. Sheng Rong rubbed Jiang Yuanyuan's head, Jiang Yuanyuan squinted her eyes and smiled, and nodded.
"For you." Jiang Yuanyuan handed the other half to Sheng Rong, Sheng Rong was surprised for a moment, but he also took it, he took it in his hand and played with it, and then bent down slightly and lowered his head in front of Jiang Yuanyuan.
"Bring it for me."
Jiang Yuanyuan took it from Sheng Rong's hand, she gently hooked Sheng Rong's ears, so that the mask was obediently attached to his face, Sheng Rong opened his eyes, and he looked good unexpectedly.
Sheng Rong spontaneously took the one in Jiang Yuanyuan's hand, he gently pinched Jiang Yuanyuan's ear, hooked the mask, and put the mask on the ear, Jiang Yuanyuan felt that the place where he was touched by Sheng Rong was a little hot, and the heat began to spread little by little, flowing to his heart.
"Ahem! Let's go, let's go! Jiang Yuanyuan took Sheng Rong's hand and hurriedly left, Sheng Rong nodded, and followed behind Jiang Yuanyuan with a smile.
Passing by a sugar water shop, Jiang Yuanyuan stood still, and the sweet smell poured into her nose, which smelled so good that her whole body was numb.
"Want to eat? Walk! Sheng Rong couldn't help but smile when he saw Jiang Yuanyuan's appearance, Jiang Yuanyuan was too obvious, if he couldn't see it, he would be really stupid.
Pulling Jiang Yuanyuan in and sitting down, Sheng Rong called Xiao Er.
"Yo! What do the boy and the girl want! A young woman walked towards the two of them, "We have three brown sugar syrup, corn syrup, brown sugar egg syrup, lotus seed lily syrup, and osmanthus syrup. ”
"I'm going to ask for three brown sugar water." Jiang Yuanyuan licked her lips, a little curious about what the three brown sugar water was.
"If only I wanted corn." Sheng Rong said, "Another golden cake." ”
"Great!" The woman nodded, turned to the back and went to place an order. Jiang Yuanyuan looked at it with some expectation, and subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"I'm so hungry before I even come up." Sheng Rong felt funny and said it unceremoniously.
Jiang Yuanyuan couldn't go up or down with a mouthful of saliva, choked in her throat, very uncomfortable, she blushed and glared at Sheng Rong, this glance did not make Sheng Rong feel how powerful, but more charming, and he felt itchy in his heart.
Touching his nose, Sheng Rong looked away.
"Huh! Your stuff is coming up. The woman came up with their things, Jiang Yuanyuan looked at it, and found her own bowl, three red porridge, which turned out to be three kinds of beans......
"Eat slowly, if you need anything, just call us directly." The woman spoke, and she got up and wanted to go back to the kitchen, but when she saw someone at the door entering, her face changed, but she hurried to meet her.
"Guest, what do you want today?"
"I want orange water." The person who came sat directly on the bench and cynically put a silver dollar in his hand on the table.
"Guest officer, you've been here for half a month, and we really don't have this thing here!" The woman was embarrassed, "Moreover, oranges are only available in the south, and we don't have them here, and we don't have them here, and we can't afford to get that precious thing." ”
"I don't care about anything else, but the sugar water shop is to have orange water, and orange seeds are introduced here, I know it, don't try to fool me." The man said domineeringly, "My father just wants to eat a bite of orange syrup from his hometown, and I won't embarrass you today, I got the oranges, and you can make orange water for me." The silver dollar is yours. ”
As he spoke, the man placed the bag he was holding on the table, and he took out a few orange, round oranges from it.
The woman gritted her teeth, she didn't know what to do, she didn't know what orange water was, what it tasted like, how it could be made, but looking at the silver dollar, she didn't want to give up.
"Guest, do you want to describe what this orange water tastes like, let's ...... Give it a try? The woman looked at the silver dollar on the table, and felt a little itchy in her heart, and when she saw that the raw material was available, she decided to try it.
"Sweet and sour, full of grains." The man thought for a moment and tried to describe, "I've been here since I was a child, and I only remember the taste of my childhood, and I can't even remember what it looked like." ”
The woman thought for a while, took an orange and went to the back, Jiang Yuanyuan took a sip of porridge, she thought about it, and felt that she had found something key.
Jiang Yuanyuan and their family have an orchard a few kilometers away, the orange tree was introduced before, the tree is growing, but this taste, but it is not sweet at all, bitter not to say, the skin is not like oranges can be easily peeled off, this fruit can not be sold, the boss is anxious, digging these trees are reluctant, lost it is also distressed, simply give these fruits to them these farmers, if there are people who like to eat this kind of thing, you can buy some, three pennies a, very cheap.
Jiang Yuanyuan also ate this orange back then, I have to say, this thing is really unpalatable, and then Jiang Yuanyuan's grandmother boiled the fruit and added some sugar, the bitter taste dissipated, leaving a sour taste and the sweetness of sugar, but it is indeed sweet and sour, full of particles.
However, after Grandma's absence, no one cared about this thing anymore.
But the fruit farmers did not cut down these trees, they did not introduce much, although the fruit is not edible, but this skin can be dried and sold for two or three years, this is a good tangerine peel, it is expensive to buy, it is a waste of these pulp, Jiang Yuanyuan often sees piles of pulp piled up under the tree as fertilizer.
Suddenly had an idea in her heart, Jiang Yuanyuan drank her sugar water in three or two sips, she looked at the room expectantly, Sheng Rong followed Jiang Yuanyuan's gaze, I don't know what she thought.
After a while, the woman came out and carried a bowl, and when she put it on the table, Jiang Yuanyuan saw it, and it was floating in the bowl one by one, and the water was slightly yellow.
I was a little satisfied in my heart, just in time to see Sheng Rong solve the last golden cake, Jiang Yuanyuan waved her hand, and they settled the account and left.
"It's not the taste I want."
When she walked out of the door, Jiang Yuanyuan heard the man's somewhat lost tone.
As soon as she came out, Jiang Yuanyuan happily grabbed Sheng Rong's arm and said, "Sheng Rong Shengrong, I have found a way to make money again." ”
