The sixth brother keenly caught a touch from the grass's eyes - "amazing"? He couldn't help but touch the scar on his face that still didn't exist, and wondered in his heart: when they met for the first time yesterday afternoon, this little girl was still frightened by the scar on his face, how could she be amazed by his face that could scare crying children today? He must have read it wrong!

He glanced at Xiaocao, stopped talking, turned around and walked slowly in the direction of selling breakfast. Xiaocao looked around at the empty surroundings and hurriedly followed. She didn't want to stay there alone, it would be bad if those bastards killed her and vented their anger.

She had been gone for so long, Yu Hai was waiting anxiously at the noodle stall, and saw her daughter following behind a man with a scar on his face and a cold and fierce gaze with his head down. He thought that his baby daughter was being bullied, so he hurriedly limped up to meet him, took his daughter behind him, glared at Liuzi vigilantly, and asked, "Don't be afraid, daughter, Dad is here, and he will never let anyone bully you!" ”

Xiaocao was moved and amused, smiled apologetically at the sixth brother, then pulled his father, sat down on the stool again, and said, "Dad, the sixth brother didn't bully me, on the contrary, he saved me just now!" ”

Then, she told her father about the thrilling scene just now. Yu Hai took his daughter's hand and checked it up and down, but found nothing unusual, so he relaxed a little and said, "The dock is very messy, don't run around in the future!" This little brother was rude just now, thank you for saving the little girl! ”

The sixth brother still maintained his facial paralysis expression, but nodded lightly, and said to Lao Liu: "A bowl of noodles, no bean noodles ......"

Lao Liu Tou pulled out a dough from a small clay pot, skillfully rolled out the dough and cut the dough, and in a moment a bowl of fragrant noodles was baked.

Yu Hai hurriedly took out a piece of pig's head meat and a piece of bad fish from the basket, put them in front of the sixth brother, and said, "Little brother, you can eat these two side dishes with noodles, just thank you for saving the little girl's life just now." ”

The sixth brother raised his eyebrows slightly, but he did not refuse, and when he left after eating noodles, he left two more copper coins on the table. After Yu Hai found out, he wanted to catch up and return it to him, but was stopped by Xiaocao: "Dad, forget it, he is not bad for these two copper plates." Ready, docker meal time is almost up! ”

Sure enough, looking in the direction of the dock, a group of rough old men came here with a smile, and a few anxious ones, trotted all the way over, and shouted to Xiaocao from afar: "Xiaocao girl, give me two servings of pig's head meat, I want to be fat!" ”

"Grass, grass! I want a fat sausage, a pork belly ......"

"Do you have any fish from yesterday afternoon, bring me two!"

……

When Yu Hai saw this scene, although he had heard his son describe it many times, he was still shocked.

Xiaocao was accustomed to it, calmly coped with it, and promoted his new products: "Uncle Hao, I made a new dish today, this is called blood sausage, do you want to have a taste?" ”

"New braised vegetables again? Give me a sausage! A young man at the back of the crowd jumped to his feet and tried to squeeze into the crowd, but to no avail he screamed in a hurry.

"Give me a blood sausage to taste, too!"

"Ahead, your subordinates have mercy, leave me a copy! Xiaocao's craftsmanship, I absolutely trust! ”

……

The father and daughter collected the money and had cramps, and they were busy for more than half an hour, and they didn't have a chance to take a breath. It wasn't until less than a tenth of the braised vegetables in the basket were left that the crowd gradually dispersed.

At this time, Lao Liu's noodle stall was already full of people eating noodles. The father and daughter had no choice but to find a stone by the side of the road and sit down to rest. Grandma Liu was busy and brought a bowl of hot noodle soup to the two, and said with a smile: "Big nephew, Xiaocao, are you thirsty?" Take a noodle soup to moisten your throat. ”

"Thank you, Grandma Liu, are you going to do your job?" Xiaocao took the noodle soup, handed a bowl to his father, held a bowl himself, and drank it in small sips.

At this time, Xiaocao saw his eldest uncle Liu Pei, second uncle Liu Han and eldest cousin Liu Zhiwei eating at a place selling porridge not far away, so he put down the porridge bowl in his hand, took out a bad fish, a blood sausage and a pig's head meat from the basket, and sent them over.

"Where's the eldest uncle, second uncle, and eldest cousin having breakfast...... The second uncle is also here to carry the work today? "Two days ago, the eldest uncle came over with his eldest cousin, and today for the first time, I saw the second uncle also coming, and Xiaocao greeted him warmly.

Liu Pei and Liu Han raised their heads and smiled at her, and Liu Pei asked, "Xiaocao, how is business today?" Look at your sweaty head, are you tired? ”

"Not tired, not tired! Dad came with me today. Uncle and uncle, this is the braised vegetables and bad fish I made, how about you taste it. I did a little less in the first two days, and I couldn't leave you a ......" Xiaocao said a little embarrassed.

Liu Han, who was honest, hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Your aunt brought us pickles, I also saw it just now, your pickled vegetables sell well, let's keep them for money." Your house is full of money now......"

Xiaocao smiled: "I have done a lot today, and there are still many in the basket!" When my family built a house, my uncle and second uncle helped a lot, and Xiaocao should also pay tribute to some small dishes. Big cousin, you taste this bad fish, you must like the taste. ”

The three fathers, sons, uncles and nephews of the Liu family only brought a few pieces of thick bread and two or three salted radishes for breakfast, and asked for three bowls of bean soup for a penny at the porridge stall. Liu Zhiwei looked tall and big, but at the age of fourteen or fifteen, it was the time to be greedy.

If it weren't for Xiaocao, who sold meat and vegetables for a penny, he would have squeezed over to buy and eat them. Sometimes when he sees people working together, eating fragrant pickled vegetables, the fragrance wafting over makes his mouth water.

Seeing that Xiaocao had opened the oil paper bag, and the tempting fragrance went straight to his nose, Liu Zhiwei swallowed his saliva and glanced at his father and uncle, the greedy look was the same as a small stone.

Xiaocao couldn't help laughing, snatched the dough cake in his hand, broke it open, sandwiched a bad fish and a few pieces of fat pig's head meat in it, stuffed it into his hand again, and said, "Big cousin, taste it!" It's all my craft......"

Yu Hai welcomed a few more guests over there, and the basket was basically sold out except for the braised vegetables left for Foreman Sun. He put the basket back on the wheelbarrow, walked over to this side, and said to the two eldest brothers, "Big brother, second brother!" It's just two or three pennies, Xiaocao honors you, just try it! ”

Liu Pei Liuhan couldn't refuse, so he took a piece of pig's head meat with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and savored it, the delicacy that he had never tasted before, made them full of praise. The brothers only tasted one or two bites of each dish, and the rest was left to Liu Zhiwei, who had grown up.

After Liu Pei finished breakfast, he looked at his brother-in-law's legs, and asked with concern: "I've been busy lately, and I haven't seen you, is it okay if you walk so far with this leg?" ”

Yu Hai patted his left leg and said with a smile: "It's okay!" The doctors in the town all said that I should have more time to walk! My legs can be so fast, thanks to Xiaocao who helps me press my legs every night! Maybe it won't be long before I'll be able to do odd jobs on the docks. ”

The brothers of the Liu family praised their sister-in-law again and again for raising a good daughter who was filial and sensible. Yu Hai was even happier when he heard it than his own leg was better.

A few people chatted for a while, and it was time to go to work. The father and daughter of the Yu family also rested almost, so they put the braised vegetables left for Foreman Sun on Lao Liutou's noodle stall, ready to push the cart to the market to buy something.

At this time, the sixth brother with a paralyzed face came over, threw a dime of broken silver, and said, "I have a big customer coming over tomorrow, can you help me prepare a few dishes?" ”

Xiaocao saw that there were two taels of broken silver in his hand, so he asked a few people carefully, whether they were southerners or northerners, and whether they had any special requirements for taste...... The sixth brother answered one by one. Xiaocao has a rough idea in his heart.

At this time, Foreman Sun hurriedly ran over from the dock, and before he could catch his breath, he looked at the broken silver in Xiaocao's hand, and frowned slightly: "Xiaocao, what's the matter?" Is someone bothering you? Tell Uncle Sun, you are covered by your uncle! ”

The sixth brother stared at him with a smile, until he stared at his heart, and then said coldly: "Foreman Sun, I know what you think in your heart!" Wear as big a hat as you have a head! Be careful of the wind, blow your hat away! Xiaocao is open to business, but it is not your exclusive tool to curry favor with customers! Lao Sun, tomorrow's customer, it's not like you can eat it if you want to! ”

Foreman Sun touched his nose and said, "Sixth son, don't be a villain!" Xiaocao helped me, I was worried that she was being bullied......"

The sixth brother glanced at him lightly, turned his gaze back to Xiaocao, and said, "I'll leave it to you tomorrow......" After speaking, he turned around and left.

Foreman Sun was concerned about his attitude, pursed his lips, and whispered: "What are you proud of!" If Lao Paper had come to the dock two years earlier, it would not have been your turn to show off your power here - Xiaocao, what does this stinky boy of Liuzi ask you to help him do? Giving so much silver, there won't be any bad intentions, right? ”

Xiaocao looked at him with a smile and said, "Uncle Sun, he just appreciates my craftsmanship and asks me to get him a few good dishes tomorrow." This money is for me to buy ingredients...... Uncle, the braised vegetables you want have already been placed with Grandpa Liu. It's getting late, I need to go to the market to restock some spices. ”

Xiaocao's clear and bright eyes seemed to reflect his careful thoughts, and Foreman Sun said with a little embarrassment: "Go, go!" I'll give you the money for the food first......"

Today, there are no fairs at the pier, there are not many people, and most of the shops in the market are open. The king butcher, who sells meat, is one of them.

"Little grass girl, come to buy a pig's head and a pig in the water again? How's business going today? Uncle has heard that your penny of meat and vegetables is selling very well on the dock! Wang Butcher greeted with a smile.
