CHAPTER XX
At the Su family's dinner table, Su Changsheng couldn't help but praise while eating, "This bean sprout is weird and delicious when mixed into a cold dish." ”
"I think it's better when it's fried." Su Jinghang didn't swallow a mouthful of food, and immediately expressed his position.
Yun Niang glared at this son and scolded, "Swallow it and then speak." Su Jinghang received his mother's warning from you, and obediently lowered his head, and the movement of picking vegetables became faster and faster. Yun Niang was satisfied, and asked September: "Jiu'er, is this bean sprout also going to be sold to Yingbin Building?" ”
"Mother, bean sprouts are not like fish, as long as we have beans, we can send as many beans as we want, when we go to deliver fish tomorrow, bring ten catties first, uncle, you go to negotiate with the shopkeeper Qin, a pound of bean sprouts is not less than two cents." September said.
As soon as Uncle Su heard that September handed over such a big matter to him, he immediately became calm, "No, no, this is not good, how can I talk about business." ”
"Uncle, there are many people in our family to deal with in the future, you and my father are the pillars of the family, and these things will have to be faced sooner or later." These words were also said after careful consideration in September, after all, no matter how old this body is, it is not very wonderful to act too out-of-character and be regarded as a demon, the revolution has not yet succeeded, how can comrades be sacrificed?
"Big brother, what Jiu'er said makes sense, she is still young, and this kind of thing will be hard in the future, big brother." Su Changlin looked at his eldest brother with a little apology, his daughter is young, but she knows more than adults, if everything is up to her, he is really not at ease as a father.
Su Changlin's mental activities are not known in September, but he recognizes her father's attitude.
After listening to the words of September and Su Changlin, Su Changsheng's face slowly became slightly gloomy, what their father and daughter said were right, September was still young, she could do it as a little girl, why couldn't he do it as a big man? As soon as Su Changsheng figured it out, he immediately sat up straight, and said, "What Jiu'er said is yes, your father and I will learn to deal with this matter in the future." ”
September nodded with a relieved smile, and Yun Niang over there also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, it is a good thing that her daughter is capable, but I am afraid that those who have a heart will worry about it.
In Su Jinghang's house, Gu Chenye leaned on the pillow that September had padded for him, and worked hard to finish a meal with his less injured right hand, a simple fried meat with bean sprouts, he actually felt that this was the most delicious dish made of bean sprouts he had ever eaten. Listening to the conversation coming from the room on the other side, she was indeed like what Su Jinghang said, not at all like a ten-year-old girl.
After resting for a while after the meal, September secretly found out the money she was hiding, packed a small half basket of bean sprouts, and went to the village chief's house with Su Changlin. As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I saw the old village chief holding a cigarette pouch and preparing to go out, and I was secretly glad that I came in time.
The old village chief looked at the person and said with a smile, "Changlin, I was just about to look for you and you came." Did you kid also know that the Tie Kui family was going to sell land? ”
When Father Su heard this, he asked excitedly, "Uncle Su, you said that the Tiekui family wants to sell land?" But near the river? ”
The old village chief suddenly realized, "I thought you knew, but you didn't come here for this." ”
…… Well, what a coincidence! September secretly complained and didn't forget to step forward and call the village chief and grandfather sweetly. The response was that the calloused hands of the old village chief touched the bag tied on her head.
While talking, a woman of about forty came out of the house, with a smile in her eyebrows and eyes, and beckoned to them in September, "Dad, you let Changlin and September go to the house to sit, and I will make tea for you." ”
In September, I heard that it was the village chief's house, and the hospitality was much better than that of ordinary people. The woman just now was probably Su Wu's daughter-in-law, Aunt Lin.
Su Changlin was talking to the old village chief about buying land, and in September he felt bored, so he simply went around to observe the construction of the ancients' houses. Aunt Lin came in with two cups of tea, and I don't know where to take out a handful of preserved fruits and stuffed them for September, who hurriedly put down the basket and put the preserved fruits in her pocket and thanked her.
"Ah, what is this?" Aunt Lin just noticed the basket covered with a cloth in September, but she didn't pay attention to it just now, and a few bean sprouts leaked. The old village chief also noticed the bean sprouts in the basket at this time, and looked at September suspiciously.
September hurriedly lifted the cloth covering the basket and explained, "Village chief grandfather, aunt, this is bean sprouts, also called ruyi vegetables." It's my mother who recently figured it out, whether it's cold or fried, it's very delicious, and I specially brought it to you to try it. ”
"Wishful dish? I've never seen this kind of dish, it's tender and weirdly beautiful. In September, your mother is so smart. Thank you for going back for me. Aunt Lin took a few bean sprouts and looked at them, looking extremely curious.
"Nine girls, your father just said that he wanted to sell the land at the head of the village?" The old village chief turned his gaze to September and looked at September with inquiring eyes.
September steadied his mind and said slowly, "Grandpa the village chief, we came today in addition to selling that piece of land, there is one more thing we want to ask my aunt to help. ”
Aunt Lin was puzzled, "Looking for me?" What's the matter? ”
"Grandpa the village chief, you also know, we have been delivering goods to the welcome building recently, the shopkeeper lamented that it is not easy for us to get up early in the morning and be greedy for darkness, and pointed out a way to make money, that is, every morning when the restaurant restaurant in the town has not yet opened, set up a breakfast stall at the gate of the city, the family is not enough, so we discuss to see if the aunt has time, and I am responsible for selling breakfast every day, twenty copper coins a day." After September finished speaking, he secretly looked at their expressions, and the old village chief's expression was complicated, but there was a faint hint of excitement.
As soon as Aunt Lin heard that she would buy a breakfast and give her a day's salary outside, where is this to ask for help, she is obviously here to send money, and she happily said that she was willing to go.
Seeing that the parties had agreed, September discussed that "my aunt still has one more matter, I need my aunt's ox cart to carry the things I need to go to the city gate, and I can go out with my uncle and my father, and the same will be true when I come back." Auntie, do you think it's okay? ”
Aunt Lin couldn't be the owner of the ox cart, but she still longed for the twenty yuan salary, and looked at the old village chief expectantly.
The old village chief saw that several people were looking at him, "I am in charge of this matter, so it is decided." After speaking, he paused and looked at Su Changlin, "I don't say the price of these three acres of paddy fields in Changlin, you also know, although the land at the head of the village can't grow crops, but if you want to build a house, it will be calculated as two taels of silver per mu, you may accept it?" ”
September has no idea about the price of land, but two taels of silver per mu is considered within her budget, so she didn't talk about it. But he didn't know it didn't mean that Su Changlin didn't know either, the price was obviously a lot cheaper, and he grinned and said, "Uncle Su, just do as you say." ”
The matter was negotiated, and the old village chief took a ruler and went out with Su Changlin one after another to find someone to measure the land. She went home alone in September, she didn't have enough money, and her father was a man who never went out with money, and he was afraid that he would have to come back to get the money later.
In September, I went to the main house to find Yun Niang, and found that Aunt Zhao was also there, and the two of them were spreading a kang quilt and sewing it again, and it was not good to mention the silver at the moment, so I called "Auntie" and asked Su Hongyu how her body was.
"I can eat for the past two days, and I still talk to us from time to time, I think it's good to do this, I work a little harder with Da Niu, and I don't want her to go back to the wolf's den, but this ...... Alas, it's all fate. Aunt Zhao couldn't go on as she spoke.
Yun Niang hurriedly comforted, only saying that good people will get better if they have good rewards. September knew that it was not the right time to ask, so he slipped away while he was free.
This will be nothing to do, so I paid attention to the bean sprouts, three baskets of bean sprouts, leave half a basket to send to the town, and the rest will not be eaten for a while and a half, so it is better to go and get it for the beans first??
She said she would do it, but she had to go to Huzi before she did it, and if she found a good person, she didn't have to wait for dinner. It's also a good idea to have an on-site training in advance.
An hour later, Huzi found all the people, because the appointment was to meet after dinner, and suddenly changed the time, which caught them off guard. It took the whole village to gather all the people. At this moment, they are all standing behind the house of September's house, and the neat row of half-grown teenagers are all looking at September nervously and excitedly.
September deliberately put on a straight face, and said solemnly, "I think you already know the purpose of my call, first of all, I want to make one thing clear, that is, follow me to do things, you must take it seriously, if any of you think that I am young, and have other thoughts, then you can leave now." ”
Everyone, look at me, I look at you, no one moved, September secretly gave Huzi a thumbs up, and the people who are looking for it are still okay.
"Now that everyone understands, let's talk about the bean sprouts we want to sell." In September, he explained to them in detail how to make bean sprouts, and they all listened very carefully. At the end of September, he asked, "Which of you will use a name?" ”
"Me." What stood up was peace, and Huzi had introduced them one by one just now.
"Then your house should also be known, can you borrow it?" September asked.
"Okay, Sister September, I'll go get it now." After saying that, the people ran out of the way.
In September, he prepared a bag, and when Ping'an came over with the scale, he instructed Huzi to carry a basket of bean sprouts, intending to go under the big tree where the villagers often chattered.
Huzi was curious, "September, what are we going to do here?" ”
"You have to sell bean sprouts in the future, and you must also be able to speak, let's try it in the village today, I will change soybeans, you will watch from the side, and you will know what to say when you go to sell bean sprouts." Seeing that everyone looked thoughtful, September smiled and stopped talking.
Soon, we arrived at the destination, and sure enough, there were several people sitting under the big tree, chatting about the length of the family. A few sharp-eyed people saw a few people coming over with a basket of things, and they asked one after another.
Seeing someone asking, September cleared her throat, it was time for her to perform, winked at several teenagers, and said loudly, "Uncles and aunts, I will introduce you to a new dish today ......." ”
