353rd preparation
Leng Chenxu sat down beside her: "You draw the pattern of the barbecue grill, I can ask someone to help you make it, you can go to the souvenir street to see if you can buy it, if you can't buy it, I'll find a way."
Cumin pepper and chili noodles are very cheap in the western frontier area, I can call my comrades-in-arms over there to help buy some and mail them over, the key is that it will take at least a week to mail them to us, which will delay your business. ”
Tang Xiaofu said: "Don't delay at all, you want your comrades-in-arms to mail all those condiments, and before that, I can use five-spice powder instead of cumin powder." ”
Five-spice powder is sold in the town, and the price is not expensive.
Leng Chenxu nodded: "Then let's decide." ”
Then he said, "You sit at home and rest, and I'll go buy some food and come back to cook." ”
Tang Xiaofu was bored, and she didn't want to move, so she nestled on the sofa.
Leng Chenxu quickly came back from buying vegetables, cooked a pot of tomato noodles, sweet and sour, and he also beat poached eggs in the noodles.
Although the dinner was simple, Tang Xiaofu wanted to eat hot because her lower abdomen was cold, so she was very satisfied with this bowl of tomato and egg noodles, and also praised Leng Chenxu's good cooking skills, even the noodles could be cooked so delicious.
Leng Chenxu picked up a spoon of noodles with chopsticks to dissipate heat in midair: "I don't have any cooking skills, I can only cook noodles and egg fried rice." ”
Tang Xiaofu laughed twice and wanted to pat the horse's ass, but it ended up on the horse's hooves.
After the two of them finished eating noodles, when Leng Chenxu was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, he glanced at Tang Xiaofu, the dress on her body was soaked with sweat, and she could faintly see the cutie in the dress, so she asked, "Can you take a bath in the place where you live?" ”
"Yes, just cold water."
Leng Chenxu stopped what he was doing, looked at her seriously, and said without refusal: "Then you will live with me temporarily!" ”
Tang Xiaofu deliberately told him the truth just because he wanted to live here for a few days, and it was really annoying that he couldn't take a bath in a rented place!
But she was embarrassed to tell Leng Chenxu directly that she wanted to spend the night here, so she played a trick.
Leng Chenxu couldn't see through it, but she felt sorry for her when she was in poor physical condition, and she was still running and working hard for the three bright futures of mother and daughter.
Although the female soldiers in the army will not consider gender when they are trained, he just feels sorry for Tang Xiaofu and doesn't want her to live so hard.
In his eyes, she is like a snail with a load, every step is so hard, he just wants to help her carry all the burdens, so that she can live an easy life like Dawn.
After taking a bath at night, Leng Chenxu rushed to wash her clothes with a bang, Tang Xiaofu's face was burning hot, and her clothes had never been washed by a man.
But I was too tired, and after taking a bath, I lay on the bed refreshed and fell asleep quickly.
After Leng Chenxu was busy, he sat under the lamp and read a book for a while, and he went to bed at ten o'clock, he lived a very regular life and hardly stayed up late.
Before going to bed, he quietly went to Tang Xiaofu's room and was relieved to see that she was sleeping peacefully.
I slept too soundly and too deeply at night, and my biological clock didn't work, and when I woke up, the sun was shining outside.
Tang Xiaofu sat up from the bed, when was this?
Thinking that she was living in someone else's house, she straightened her skirt and combed her hair, and then walked out of the room, and looked around with a thief's head, Leng Chenxu was not there, and there was a bowl of tofu brain and a bowl of dumplings on the table.
She was a little happy in her heart, how did this guy know that I like to eat soup and water in the morning!
Tang Xiaofu walked over and saw that there was still a note on the table, which read: If it's cold, it's hot, don't be greedy for cold and eat cold, you are very moment!
Tang Xiaofu has mixed feelings in her heart, uncle, don't keep talking about that normal phenomenon, I'm embarrassed.
In the face of Leng Chenxu's concern, she decided to turn a blind eye, how many warblers and Yanyan are around this man who is about to stand up, or that sentence, he has so many choices that he will not really pity himself, so he must not fall into his concern.
Tang Xiaofu touched the tofu brain and dumplings with her hands, things were cold slowly in summer, and both foods were still hot, so she quickly washed up, sat at the table and ate sweaty.
After eating, he cleaned up Leng Chenxu's house, left a note, and left with his backpack.
When she went downstairs, when those military wives saw her, they all looked down on her with immoral eyes, but when Tang Xiaofu turned her head to look at them, they all pretended to be nothing.
Tang Xiaofu followed Leng Chenxu's instructions, found a street of souvenirs, and bought plate carbon, which is a bit expensive, a hemp bag of twenty catties costs six yuan!
The chisel is not expensive, a large handful of 300 is only a dollar, and Tang Xiaofu bought three.
After buying things, Tang Xiaofu took the bus to the bridge and got off at the Yellow Crane Tower, and walked not far to his house on Minmin Road at the entrance of the company, and opened the door with the key.
Before she entered the house, a neighbor came over and greeted her with a smile: "Girl, did your family buy this house?" ”
"Well, that!" Tang Xiaofu walked into the house with a plate carbon in one hand and a chisel in the other.
The couple was talking, the house was empty, and it was clean.
"What does your family do, how can you be so rich?" A woman stood at the door and gossiped.
Tang Xiaofu smiled faintly: "My family is a farmer, and the money to buy a house is borrowed, just to have a place to live in the city." ”
"Oh~" The expressions of the neighbors who gathered around the door suddenly realized, the expression of adoration for the rich man on their faces just now was gone, but the attitude was still very friendly.
"Your house is empty, you need some furniture." A neighbor said.
"Hmm." Tang Xiaofu put the things in his hand on the ground and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Do you want a pair of bed boards for me?" The neighbor asked.
"The old one~" Tang Xiaofu was also from Wuhan in his previous life, and he was worse than the shrewd.
The neighbor saw that Tang Xiaofu didn't want it very much, so he said, "What's the matter with the old one, my bed board is sturdy!" Use it the same! The price is also low and affordable! ”
Tang Xiaofu asked lightly: "The price is very low~"
That means that if the price is really low, she thinks about buying it.
"Five bucks!" That neighbor made an offer.
"The old bed board that others have slept on is still five, four, we rural people have no money~"
The neighbor stared at Tang Xiaofu for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed, and with the help of another neighbor, he brought the bed board, and Tang Xiaofu asked them to put the bed board on the floor in the middle room, and she slept on it at night.
He gave the neighbor four dollars, and all the neighbors dispersed.
Tang Xiaofu looked around, she had to buy pots and pans, so she locked the door, went shopping, and found that the same thing was high in state-run shopping malls and low in state-run stores, so she bought pots and pans in a small shop and came back, and these bits and pieces cost almost twenty yuan.
Among these things I bought, there is a resistance stove to boil water, which is very convenient for cooking.
It was noon to buy these things back, Tang Xiaofu bought two steamed buns, boiled a pot of boiling water and filled the water bottle, drank a cup of hot tea and ate two curtains to deal with a meal, and prepared to take a nap.
Leng Chenxu came in a small truck, Tang Xiaofu went out, and moved two barbecue grills from the small truck with him.
"All I need is one." Tang Xiaofu said.
"Anyway, it's made of leftovers, it's easy to do, and it's not troublesome, so I'll ask someone to make two." Leng Chenxu helped her move two barbecue grills into the house.
The barbecue grill is really simple to make, and a small amount of iron sheet and iron rod is welded.
"That'...... How much do these two barbecue grills cost? Tang Xiaofu walked to the middle room, squatted down, and took the money from her backpack.
"I told you that it was made of leftovers, and I didn't need money." Leng Chenxu looked at the four walls of the house and asked, "You haven't had lunch yet, I'll take you to eat." ”
"No, I've eaten it. Can you take me directly to the coach station? Tang Xiaofu originally wanted Leng Chenxu to send the barbecue grill in the afternoon at the earliest, so she planned to go back tomorrow morning and bring some vegetables to try, but she didn't expect him to be so concerned about her affairs, and she sent it over at noon, so hurry home now, come tomorrow morning, and try it tomorrow afternoon to see if you can make money.
Leng Chenxu still bought her a basket of small soup dumplings for her to eat, and then drove her to the long-distance bus station.
When she arrived in the town, Tang Xiaofu bought a lot of pepper, chili noodles and five-spice powder, which were much cheaper than in the city.
Although it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Xiaofu knew that Fang Wenjing and Xiaolan would not go back until seven o'clock, so by the way, she cut a piece of lean meat, bought yuba to cook and eat at night, and asked those meat stall owners by the way what time they usually came out of the stall, and she wanted to buy the large intestine, small intestine, and pig's feet, which are very difficult to sell in the countryside, early tomorrow morning.
Because Tang Xiaofu thinks that she can't just sell vegetable barbecue, she didn't eat vegetable barbecue much in her previous life, and likes to eat meat barbecue, so she has to make some meat snacks, even if it's not barbecue, it's spicy and hot, and many people should eat it.
Although Malatang is spicy and hot, and he sweats all over his body in summer, as a native of Wuhan in his previous life, Tang Xiaofu knows Wuhan people too well, and he is not afraid of spicy, but he is afraid that he is not spicy enough.
The spicy crayfish is so spicy that people can't love it, but no matter what sky-high price the spicy crayfish sells every summer, people who eat it flock to it.
Now it's too late to inform the cousins of the two uncles' families to help me catch crayfish, so let's use the pig's large intestine to make spicy tang with vegetable barbecue, try what the business will be, and then move on to the next step.
There are only three butcher stalls in town, and the owners of the butcher stalls say that they usually leave at 6 o'clock in the morning in the summer.
Tang Xiaofu told them to come out of the stall at half past five tomorrow, she came to buy all the bits and pieces of the pigs, and negotiated a good price with them now, one yuan for one pig intestine and two yuan for four pig's feet.
Those pork stall owners all agreed, especially on a hot day when the pig intestines were given away, no one asked for it, and of course they were willing to exchange it for a dollar.
The countrymen are all creditworthy, and Tang Xiaofu is not afraid that they will regret it after negotiating with the owner of the meat stall, and if they regret it, they will not be able to sell these bits and pieces, and now there are pigs' intestines and pig's feet left in their stalls.
Tang Xiaofu was just about to leave the meat stall when a meat stall owner stopped her and asked her if she wanted a pig's head.
Tang Xiaofu made up for the appearance of the pig's head being cut off, and it was quite hideous, so he said: "I want you to cut off all the pig's head meat, if it is a whole pig's head, I don't want it." ”
The owner of the pork stall said, "If I cut off the pig's head, I can sell it myself." ”
Since we haven't talked about it, let's leave.
A pork stall owner stopped her: "You only need three pairs of pig intestines, I can help you get a few more." ”
"In that case, you can help me get three pairs first, and if you increase the amount in the future, I will add it directly to you." Tang Xiaofu didn't dare to ask for more, she couldn't predict what the business would be, she only knew that the snack business in the night market in the previous life was very hot, but the people in that era were very rich, and the snacks could cost a few dollars, even primary school students could afford to eat.
But this era is different, everyone is poor, who knows if people are reluctant to pay for food?
Then Tang Xiaofu told an old man who sold tofu that he would come to him early tomorrow morning to buy twenty catties of dried tofu.
Dried tofu costs three cents a pound and can be used for barbecue.
Uncle Tofu did not accept Tang Xiaofu's deposit.
To make spicy tang and ask for seasoning, Tang Xiaofu went to a small private grocery store to buy pepper, homemade soy sauce, dried chili, ginger, garlic, and all kinds of marinades.
After buying the things, Tang Xiaofu went home with a large bag.
Rhubarb was guarding the door at home, and he heard Tang Xiaofu's footsteps from afar, screaming happily all the way, crawling out from under the dog hole specially left for him under the courtyard gate, running towards Tang Xiaofu, pounced on her and stuck out her tongue to lick her.
Tang Xiaofu avoided it in horror, this guy sometimes eats poop, so she doesn't want it to lick her!
Seeing that Tang Xiaofu insisted on not letting it lick her, Da Huang forgot it, but his emotions were still high, and he ran around her.
When she returned home and saw a few bowls of leftovers in the kitchen, Tang Xiaofu couldn't help but feel sad, she was not at home, and her mother and sister were reluctant to eat even a tofu, it was all green vegetables.
Tang Xiaofu sent the things back to her room, washed her hands and face and started to cook dinner, and took the time to feed the pigs, chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits in the backyard.
At dusk, Fang Wenjing and Tang Xiaolan came back from the field and found that the door of their courtyard was hidden, and they were all surprised, so they called Rhubarb.
Rhubarb sat at the kitchen door watching Tang Xiaofu cook, and when he heard the owner of the house shouting at him, he rushed out like an arrow from a string.
Fang Wenjing and Tang Xiaolan were even more puzzled, Rhubarb was at home, who opened the courtyard door? They had locked the courtyard gate when they left.
Tang Xiaofu walked out of the house and shouted, "Mom and Xiaolan are back." ”
"Sister!" Xiaolan ran over happily, "You're back!" ”
"Hmm."
When Fang Wenjing saw her, he asked if the house had been bought, and whether the transfer had been handled.
Tang Xiaofu said: "It's all done, and I'll hand over the real estate certificate and household registration book to my mother after dinner." ”
Fang Wenjing and Tang Xiaolan washed their hands and faces, and the mother and daughter ate around the dining table, fried pork slices with yuba, tomato and egg soup, stir-fried bamboo leaf vegetables and a sour lentil.
Rhubarb also got a bowl of oily rice, and there were a few slices of lean meat on top of the rice, and it whimpered with joy.
Tang Xiaofu was sad, people in this era are too poor, and they don't even have dogs to eat.
