Ye Xinyan naturally didn't know what the people in the village were talking about her family, the family of three came into the house, it was almost noon, and it was time to make lunch.

Qi Younian and Ye Xinyan packed up the things in the car, the utensils that should be washed and the tables and chairs that needed to be carefully wiped down, and immediately started to scrub and wash, there are really a lot of things.

As soon as Ye Xinyan pushed Qi Younian into the house to rest, Qi Yougui walked into the courtyard, and before he entered the house, he asked in a loud voice: "Old/Er, are you back?" How about buying and selling today? ”

This is because they are worried that their business will not be good and they will not be able to sell, right?

Ye Xinyan felt funny in her heart, and hurriedly let her uncle and grandfather into the house, "Uncle and grandfather sit in the house, my grandfather has just entered, it just so happens that you and my grandfather are chatting for a while, otherwise grandpa he can't sit still." ”

Sure enough, Qi Younian, who had just sat down, heard the big brother coming outside, and had already come out to greet him.

Qi Yougui waved his hand at him again and again, "It's all your own family, how can you use so many courtesies." You are not young anymore, you are tired for most of the day, hurry up and rest on the kang, let the leaves worry about you in vain. ”

The two brothers sat down on the kang, and Qi Yougui was really worried that their stall would not be able to do it, so he came over to inquire about the stall.

Mama Jin served two bowls of coarse tea to the two old men.

Qi Younian pushed the tea bowl to Qi Yougui and explained: "On the first day of today, the stall was sold cheaply, so the sale was good, but it didn't make much money." ”

Qi Yougui immediately looked sad: "How can it be sold cheaply?" When you raise the price tomorrow, people will not follow it. What if someone makes a fuss or doesn't come to visit? ”

Qi Younian said with a smile: "No, we are serious about setting up stalls to do business, and we have paid the money to the errand officials in charge of the Yamen market, and we are not afraid of people making trouble." We also told the people who patronized today that the first day is for everyone to taste, so it will be discounted, and the original price will be restored tomorrow. Big brother rest assured, it will be fine. ”

"That's good, we are all poor people, and we don't have any backers, acquaintances or anything in the county. When you set up a stall to do business, you have to be very careful not to offend people. ”

A farmer like Qi Yougui has been dealing with the land all his life, and he won't wander around the county town if he has nothing to do, and he really doesn't know what to do business in the county. Listening to Qi Younian's explanation so casually, he hesitated to believe it.

The two drank tea and chatted, and around noon, Mama Jin made lunch.

Qi Younian said to Ye Xinyan, who entered the door: "Ye Zi went to your uncle's grandfather's house and told your uncle's grandmother that your uncle's lunch is eaten here, so that they don't have to wait." ”

Qi Yougui excused himself: "No, I'll go back and eat." The three of you get up early in the morning, and you are also tired, and you can rest early after you have eaten simply. ”

"Big brother, you don't come over, it's hard to be free today, our brothers have a good conversation, and the big brother has to stay if he says anything. After lunch, it's never too late for me to rest. There are a few corn stalls left over from selling rice tofu today, and the taste will not be good tomorrow, and it will not be sold. Let's eat it at home, and the eldest brother can also taste the taste of this different kind of cake. ”

Qi Younian sat down according to Qi Yougui.

Qi Yougui looked at Ye Xinyan again, and ran away early, so he had to sit down again.

After lunch, Qi Yougui sympathized with the hard work of his second brother's family and said goodbye early and went home.

Ye Xinyan also persuaded Qi Younian and Mama Jin to put down the work in their hands first and take a good nap.

This business must be done for a long time, and in the future, you must get up to do things before the end of the day, and sleep must be guaranteed, otherwise even if you make a few bucks, it will tire people down, and it will not be worth it.

After taking a nap, Ye Xinyan and Mama Jin began to prepare for tomorrow's stall, grinding rice milk, making toppings, and tidying up the dishes, chopsticks, and pots. Qi Younian took care of the livestock shed and donkey cart, and took care of the donkey's forage and drinking water.

The three of them were busy, Qi Yourong walked in from outside, walked to Qi Younian's side, and joked with a smile: "The second brother only cares about being close to the eldest brother, and forgets the third brother." ”

Ye Xinyan stepped forward and took the bucket in Qi Younian's hand for the donkey to drink, "Grandpa is going to talk to my uncle and grandfather, I'll just come here." ”

"Yourong is here." Qi Younian and Qi Yourong said hello, hesitated for a moment, and handed the bucket to Ye Xinyan.

Qi Younian and the two walked into the house, and Qi Yourong continued what he had just said: "I heard that the eldest brother ate a good meal at your place at noon, and you two don't think about me, do you treat me as your own brother?" ”

In a few words, Qi Younian couldn't cry or laugh, "It's just just in time for a meal, and it's worth it for you to be so serious about having a meal by the way." ”

Qi Yourong snorted vaguely, sat on the kang and asked, "What do you have for dinner?" I've heard that your tortillas are soft and delicate, and they're delicious. ”

Mama Jin, who came up with the tea bowl, listened, and her footsteps were a meal, which was when she heard that the old man of the big house had lunch at her house.

The corn stall flowers eaten at noon, that are the few leftovers sold at the early stall. The spread flower needs to be fermented with cornmeal batter before it can be made, and if you want to eat dinner, you don't have time to prepare it now.

Qi Younian took the tea bowl and handed it to Qi Yourong, waving his hand to let Mama Jin do her own work.

Only then did he say lightly to Qi Yourong: "The tortilla that the eldest brother ate at noon was sold in the morning, and now there is no ready-made one at home." ”

Qi Yourong was reluctant when he heard it, "Look at what the second brother said, there is no ready-made, just do it." You can't cook dinner at home, huh? The second brother is unwilling to entertain his brother for a light meal? ”

Qi Younian sighed secretly and explained: "That food is called a stall flower, and it can only be made soft after fermenting with old noodles and cornmeal batter. The leaves are always used when they go to bed the night before, and they are easy to use the next morning. Even now, I can't eat dinner. ”

So? Qi Yourong had displeasure on his face, and muttered in his mouth, "Second brother is really, we have a hard time, you and your eldest brother have a good meal, and you don't want to have another brother eat bran vegetables." ”

Qi Younian said helplessly: "Then tomorrow." Tomorrow, if there is any bread left on the stall, I will let the leaves bring it to you. That's all right, right? ”

Qi Yourong immediately became happy, "Okay, okay, what's not okay then?" Also, second brother, if there is any leftover rice tofu, it would be good to bring it with you. Our family is not particular, you can eat it hot, not too cold. ”

The second brother's rice tofu, which is loved by adults and children in the family, should be more popular than tortillas, if there are both, then of course it is better, and they can also eat the food of the rich people in the county.

When he came out just now, the old woman and daughter-in-law were talking about the food and trade of the second room, saying that the second room was going to live a good life. It would be better if the second brother sent the food sold in the county to his home, and everyone in the family could eat a few bites of good food, which would save them from being annoying.

The delicious food has been settled, and Qi Yourong is not greedy for the wild vegetable cake of the second brother's house, so he sat down for a while and then took his leave.

Qi Yourong hadn't gone out yet, but he met Qi Cheng who came in with a load of firewood, and saw Qi Cheng, who always helped the second room to do manual work every day, Qi Yourong didn't feel uncomfortable, and said hello happily: "Chengzi is here." ”

didn't wait for Qi Cheng to reply, so he went home satisfied and leisurely.
