Chapter 56: Caught off guard
Su Xintang's breakfast business is even better than she imagined.
But as soon as the business was good, some people naturally followed suit, and when her breakfast was sold for a few days without finding anything abnormal, there were naturally more people selling breakfast on the street. Everyone is not stupid, they all know to make a fortune in silence.
There are more people who sell breakfast, and there are naturally more choices for people who buy breakfast. It's just that Su Xintang sells relatively many types, and many old customers recognize her, although her income has decreased slightly, she still sells the fastest.
There are more people buying and selling breakfast, and red armbands that catch "speculation" also frequently appear in front of the county hospital to arrest people.
On this day, Su Xintang had just picked out the porridge and put it on the table, when suddenly the light of several flashlights swept over. She was startled, and the dense footsteps made her react quickly, it was the one wearing the red armband!
Unable to pack her things, she turned around and went down the narrow alley.
Soon, someone came after him from behind whistling, "Stop! Don't run, don't run anymore. ”
Su Xintang almost didn't even have the strength to breastfeed, she didn't care about the embarrassment at the moment, and quickly turned into another alley, seeing that the footsteps chasing behind her were getting closer and closer, when she was in a hurry, she saw that the door of a house on the side of the road was empty, and she didn't care about being rude, so she quickly got into the house and closed the door.
A few hurried footsteps ran past the doorway, and continued to chase forward.
Su Xintang patted his chest and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's so thrilling!
I was almost caught by those people wearing red armbands, and if I was really caught writing a review on the street, it would be called bad luck.
Even so, she was annoyed at the thought of not having time to take the breakfast with her.
After such a fuss, she not only lost a pot of porridge this morning, but also a bucket of water. Fortunately, glutinous rice and tea eggs have not been taken out yet, otherwise, the loss will be even greater.
She was feeling distressed and glad at the same time when someone suddenly slapped her from behind.
Su Xintang froze there.
"Oh, little girl, it's me."
The person behind her greeted her, "They didn't find anyone, they will definitely turn around and come back to find it." Go, follow me inside and hide. ”
Su Xintang wanted to refuse, but there were wolves in front of her and tigers in the back, and she had no chance to refuse.
I had to follow the man into the house.
Once inside, the man fumbled for a match and lit a kerosene lamp.
"It's you!"
In the faint light, Su Xintang saw his appearance clearly and immediately shouted.
This man was the middle-aged man who had sold a hare for five dollars.
The figure of the middle-aged man was hidden in the darkness, and the faint kerosene lamp illuminated his dark features, and he smiled at her, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.
"Isn't that me? Little girl, I didn't expect that we would be able to meet again, but it was really fateful. ”
M City, a small county, is not big, but it is not small, if you want to meet an acquaintance here, it is not very fateful!
Seeing that it was someone he had dealt with, Su Xintang immediately smiled.
"Isn't it fate! Big brother, this is your home? ”
"Where is this my home, this is my brother-in-law's house. I settle here every time I enter the city for something......" As if realizing that he had said the wrong thing, he stopped with a hearty smile.
Looking at the pheasant hanging on the other party's shoulder, Su Xintang understood.
I remembered that when I first met him, he was selling hares and pheasants, and he wanted to come to the other party to hunt a lot, and he was afraid that he was also here to sell these wild meats when he went to the city.
"You chicken...... How much are you going to sell it for? ”
"Huh? This, this sells, sells four......"
The other party was a little caught off guard and didn't dare to say anything.
"Four? Or five bucks? ”
She took out the money from her pocket, and she lost at least a dozen yuan today, and now she has to pay five yuan to buy pheasants, Su Xintang's face hurts.
"Just give me three dollars. The last time my family was in a hurry to use money, I deliberately overcharged you a dollar. ”
The middle-aged man was not nervous anymore, and deducted the piece he overcharged last time.
"Last time was last time, and we have already cleared the money last time. This time, I'll give you four pieces, have you seen enough? ”
"Enough, enough...... Too much. ”
The middle-aged man was nervous and couldn't sweat, and he was embarrassed to wipe his sweat with his sleeve.
"Take it."
Su Xintang counted four yuan for him, and seeing his nervous face, the original precaution in his heart also faded. Then we started talking to him.
In three or five sentences, Su Xintang took out his address and experience from the other party's mouth.
Huang Shaozhuang was extraordinarily honest: "Last time my dad went, I didn't have anything in my hands, so I had to exchange game for money." It's all thanks to your generosity, little girl, the ten yuan you gave is just enough, so that my dad can go into the ground smoothly for peace......"
The two chatted until the sky outside gradually brightened, and Su Xintang hurriedly left from the courtyard.
With a pair of hands when he came, when he left, Su Xintang not only wrung a pheasant, but also had an extra bag of fungus and loaches. The fungus and loach were all given to her by Huang Shaozhuang, and these things are not worth much money in the countryside. However, Su Xintang had to accept it.
When he returned to the rental house, Su Xintang sensitively found that the door was open, and there seemed to be someone in the room!
Su Xintang picked up a wooden stick used to make firewood from the side and quietly walked into the house. As soon as the door was pushed open a crack, a figure suddenly came out of it, and took a look at her, startling each other!
"Xiao Su, you're back!"
The landlord was embarrassed, and her eyes rolled slightly: "I passed by here just now, and I happened to find that your door was not closed." I called twice, but you didn't answer, so I came in to have a look. Good thing you're back, hehehe......"
"Really?"
Su Xintang was sure that he had locked the door when he left.
In the past few days, the landlord's aunt has come to her every day to eat, and it seems that she is addicted to eating, and she also brings her grandson to eat together. Worried that it would be difficult to find a rental house and a long way to find a rental house if the business of buying breakfast was broken, Su Xintang kept turning a blind eye, and regarded it as using those breakfasts to offset the price of her family's big iron pot.
"Not really! Ah, it's bad, I remember, I'm in the soup at home! ”
The landlord fled in a panic.
Su Xintang stared at her back as she flew away, snorted coldly, and silently closed the door to check the situation in the room.
Grain, I can't see the tea eggs made, the tea is brought from the tea field, and I don't need money. As for eggs, Su Xintang only boils twenty eggs every morning. That's not much, it's just enough to sell out. With one egg per each of the four of them, she boiled a total of 24. But now, she counts and counts, and there are only 19 eggs.
And 5 eggs are missing!
Just when she was busy trying to figure out how to earn money and count the bills, Xiao Tianye once again made a request to appear.
"The wound has healed, and the rest can only be slowly repaired. I continued to stay in the hospital and it was just a waste of money. It's better to go home. ”
