Chapter 35: Grandma
Su Changsheng took the Feng family back to the village with another ox cart, and in September, he followed Su Changlin to store his own ox cart, and went to the place where the breakfast cart was ordered last time.
The owner of the shop was a swarthy man, and when he saw them come in September, he greeted them with a mouthful of big white teeth.
"Big brother, haha...... I'm seeing you today. ”
Su Changlin was stunned for a moment, a little unclear. The boss was also shrewd, and quickly pulled Su Changlin to find a stool and sit down.
"Big brother, I won't tell you, the car with wheels you ordered from me last time. I thought about it for a long time and didn't know what it was for, but two days ago my family saw your breakfast cart at the gate of the city, and when I came back and told me, I thought I was going to visit you recently, but you came today. ”
After the boss finished speaking, he touched the back of his head, and there was a trace of embarrassment on his dark face.
Su Changlin was still a little confused, and said loudly in September: "Uncle, the breakfast car was taught to me by a nobleman." ”
Only then did the boss notice September behind Su Changlin, staring at him with unblinking eyes, and a smile on his face. This girl is quite bold...... Because of his rough appearance, ordinary little girls dare not open their eyes to look at him. Now that he is being watched by September so aggressively, he subconsciously touches his face, isn't it so scary?
"Uncle? …… We're going to customize one of those cars today. "This boss is really a weirdo, he has been touching his face and starting, and September can't help but urge.
"Oh... Oh... Okay" The boss smiled embarrassedly at September, and then reacted and asked in a low voice, "You said you drew that picture?" As if seeking verification, his gaze turned to Su Changlin again.
Su Changlin nodded without hesitation, but his gaze at September was a little more proud.
In September, I was in a hurry to go out to buy spices, and I didn't want to stay too long. This boss has a bold face, but his actions are a little procrastinating.
"Boss, I want to make a food truck similar to the last time, but the details have changed slightly. Do you have pen and paper? ”
"There's... Yes... I'll find it for you. Soon, the boss came out of the back room with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
September observed, this ink seems to have been used just now, and it is difficult to ask out loud when I have doubts. According to the oden oven I had seen in my previous life, I drew the frame, and after thinking about it, I only set up ten grids.
The brush was really not used well, and the result of the painting was a little unsatisfactory, and I had to explain it to the boss in detail in September.
"The frame is the same as last time, that is, half of the desk should be replaced with this kind of lattice pot, which should be detachable, and the handles on both sides should be made as high as possible, and the stove placed under the bottom should be made into this square ...... according to the size of the cooking pot."
"Is this also a food car?" The boss couldn't help but ask.
September glanced at him, anyway, it was not a big deal, so he generously explained all the functions, and the boss listened very seriously. At the end of September, I thought that I would probably come again in the future, and said with a smile: "Uncle, people say that once born and twice cooked, our family will need a lot of this kind of thing in the future, you are cheaper this time, and we will all look for you in the future." ”
The boss looked at the drawings drawn in September, thinking about the functions she had just mentioned, and the thoughts in his heart became clearer and clearer, and he hesitated again and again but opened his mouth: "Little girl, my surname is Li, you can call me Uncle Li." It's a shame to say that our Li family has been making a living by striking iron for generations, although I said that there are some crafts to open this shop, but this business is becoming more and more difficult to do......"
September frowned, what does this mean is cheap?
Uncle Li had been observing September's expression, and when he saw her, he hurriedly said, "Don't get me wrong, in fact, I have a business, but I don't know if you are interested." ”
"Uncle Li, if you have anything, you can just say it." September was stunned, and I wanted to talk about business for a long time......
"I think so, the little girl's food truck is ingeniously designed, if you agree, I can do more to buy a good price, of course, the money earned is divided between us and the cost. What do you guys think? Uncle Li said and looked back and forth between September and Su Changlin.
Su Changlin didn't have any idea about this, and habitually looked at his daughter, but in September, he felt that this idea was feasible, but this dining car had a model, and it was not difficult to do. It is estimated that he can earn a little at the beginning, and Uncle Li can say that the two families share the profits equally, which seems to be okay.
"Uncle Li, the five-fifty achievement is exempted, you only give me one percent. In the future, we will have more places to deal with, and it will inevitably trouble you. Well, you're building a grill for me, and I'll draw it for you. September said and moved.
The barbecue rack is much simpler than the dining car, and this one is only used for home use, and it doesn't need to be too big.
After listening to September's words, Uncle Li was very excited. It's just..."Little girl, this is too little, isn't it?" ”
"Uncle Li, you don't have to say much about this. I only need one percent, and if I think of something new in the future, I will do the same. September said with a smile, after all, she didn't come out with anything, she just drew modern things according to the script, and it was enough.
"Hey, then listen to you, whatever you want to fight in the future, give it to me, and you don't need any money." Uncle Li flicked his hands excitedly, this would be quite arrogant.
When September heard this, he laughed twice in a low voice. "In the future, my family will want too many things, don't say this again, and you can calculate the cost price for me when the time comes."
"Ah...... That's okay... But I can't take any money today, so don't shirk it, just make friends. By the way, I still don't know your surname after talking for a long time? Uncle Li looked at Su Changlin embarrassedly.
Su Changlin was stunned and said: "Brother Li, we are all Zhuang families, so if you don't have the surname Su, you can call me Changlin in the future." This is my daughter-in-law September. Su Changlin touched September's little head, and his eyes were full of pampering.
"Okay, Changlin. In the future, I'll have to bring September to sit down often. ”
After watching Su Changlin and Uncle Li get acquainted in September, the conversation was quite hot, and it seemed that his father was not particularly boring.
After leaving Uncle Li's shop, he followed Su Changlin into a shop specializing in spices and grains in September.
"Boss, do you have cumin?" September asked as soon as he entered.
In this era, there are basically general spices, and this small shop is relatively complete. Looking around in September, what peppercorn powder, chili powder, star anise and the like are all written and the labels are neatly placed.
"What cumin?" Out of the back door came a chubby woman.
"It's cumin." September explained.
"That's what you're talking about?" The woman took out half a packet of cumin from the spice bags.
September took it, gently twisted it with his hand, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it. It was the cumin she wanted, but it wasn't too broken.
"That's it, how can the boss sell this half of the pack?" September asked with a smile.
"You...... Is this all you need? The woman looked uncertainly at Su Changlin on the side.
"No, I'm going to buy something else." September glanced at the other spices.
"Hi... I just said, how could anyone buy it...... What did you say? Yes... What more could the little girl order? We have a complete range of spices here, and they are all good goods imported from other places. Just take a look. ”
The woman said to the end, and pulled September to simply introduce it......
I picked it out and put it on the counter with all the spices I needed for September. "Boss, you see I want so much, you can make it cheaper for me, I want more in the future, if the price is right, I won't go to another house."
"Haha...... Look at this little girl who knows how to do business, okay. Seeing how much you bought, I won't charge you for this pack of cumin, what do you think? "That half bag of cumin has been sitting in the corner for a while, the first time the owner bought this product, I don't know how to use it, she tried to cook, and the smell was always weird. After leaving it for so long, September was the first to come to the door to ask, and she was still worried that she didn't know how to deal with it.
September where do not know the boss's careful thoughts, cumin taste is peculiar, and some people may not be able to adapt to it. Moreover, there is almost no barbecue in this era, and cumin probably appears more in pharmacies. However, the half bag of cumin was almost half a catty, and September agreed without hesitation.
Su Changlin gave the money, carried a large bag of spices and went out with the eyes of the proprietress like a fool.
"Dad, are you hungry?" I went out too early and didn't have time to eat. This will see a shop on the side of the road, and September will be a little tempting.
"Are you hungry? When we're hungry, let's go in and get some food? Su Changlin saw Jiuyue's crystal eyes staring at the noodle restaurant in front of him, and hesitated a little. He almost never ate out, and it was already a luxury to eat casually at the stall once in a while. But with the look in his daughter's eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse.
As soon as September wanted to nod, he heard someone shout. "Get out of the way...", looking for the voice, a group of people rushed after a beggar. The man at the head threw the whip in his hand, surrounded by five or six family members, dressed in a golden robe, and his round belly looked like a woman who was five months pregnant.
The bustling crowd exploded in an instant, and September vaguely heard something "Lin Gongzi, bully ......" or something.
The beggar was rampaging through the crowd, and before September was ready, he was surrounded by several family members.
September wanted to go up and have a look, but before he could move his feet, he was pulled into the noodle restaurant by Su Changlin, "Jiu'er, there are so many people over there, what should you do if you are injured?" The boy didn't have long eyes with the whip, and I saw it thrown at the person next to him. ”
In September, I listened to Su Changlin's chatter obediently into the noodle restaurant and asked for two of the cheapest noodles, but his eyes couldn't help but look outside.
I couldn't see the scene behind the crowd, only the cacophony of chattering and shrill scolding, interspersed with weak begs for mercy.
Soon two bowls of noodles were served, and the clear soup was empty. It's not very special. I boiled the noodles in water, sprinkled some green onions on them, and dropped a few drops of oil to charge eight cents. Seeing that he really has no appetite, Su Changlin in line with the principle of not wasting it, eats very fragrantly, and tastes a few bites slowly in September, except for the salt taste, there is no taste at all, it is better to buy a bun for three dollars to eat.
Su Changlin finished eating a bowl, and he had already put down his chopsticks without moving most of the bowl in September. "I can't eat ......," September whispered.
"Eat two less bites and one pad, and let your mother make something to eat for you when you go back." Su Changlin persuaded.
September looked at the cheap dad and couldn't help but want to laugh. It turns out that he also thinks this noodle is not delicious...... Well, then take two more bites.
There is still half a bowl left, and I can't eat it in September. Su Changlin sighed and brought the September bowl over, and ate half a bowl of noodles in a while.
September was a little stunned, and when I was a child, my grandmother often ate her unfinished meals. She thought it was a very common thing, and when she grew up, she realized that the people who were willing to eat your leftovers were your relatives.
When I went out of the noodle shop, I saw that the lively crowd had slowly dispersed a lot, and the boy and the family with the whip did not know where to go, leaving only the beggar curled up in place. The whip marks on his body were terrible, and his already tattered clothes would look like a rag hanging on his body.
His small body was still trembling, and September squatted down beside him, his voice was like a mosquito, shouting intermittently, only two words September heard clearly.
"Grandma'......"
