Chapter 42: Shopping

"It's not heavy, but it's cumbersome, and it doesn't matter to me."

"I'm tired of running for a long time, so I'll let my father take it next time." As he spoke, he opened the warehouse door and helped the spring peaches put their things away.

"Actually, we have another thing to do this time."

Erzhu Niang blinked slightly, her expression flickered a little, but her tone did not change, and she was still very enthusiastic. "If there's anything, just say it."

"That's right, after she went back that day, she flipped through hundreds of books and found a way to quickly pickle salted eggs, and this time I came to teach you this method." Zhou Kuiruo also saw the change in Erzhu Niang's expression, and pretended not to see it and continued to say his words.

"Huh!" Erzhu Niang laughed a few times, a little embarrassed. "No, no. Aren't you going to do business too? You don't have to teach me. ”

"We don't need to buy this either, and we may be bothered at Brother Yang's stall for a few days. This should be regarded as compensation, so don't shirk it! ”

"Well, well!" I still have two children to raise at home, and if this business is affected, life will not be easy. The time for marinating eggs can be shorter, and you can also earn more.

When he was outside, Zhou Kuiruo wouldn't go to the stove room, but staying with an unfamiliar person, Chun Tao would feel a little uneasy. "September... Come. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Is this a sister?" Erzhu Niang looked at September with clear eyebrows, and then at the spring peach with a sallow and bland complexion.

"No, I'm my sister's sister, and Sister Chun Tao is my sister's friend." September smiled and corrected Erzhu Niang's words very seriously.

"Yikes! What a clever kid he is! Very likable. Erzhu Niang looked at Chun Tao, expecting her to answer, but it was absolutely impossible.

"Sister Chun Tao doesn't like to talk because she stutters when she speaks." September explained again.

Erzhu Niang nodded a little embarrassedly, and the three women stood in the stove room, looking at each other.

"Eggs... What about eggs? "Why don't you go get the eggs yet, I'm still waiting to take September and October to go shopping!

"Oh! I haven't taken the eggs yet! Look at my memory. Erzhu Niang was thinking about why Chun Tao didn't speak or move, but it turned out that she was waiting for her to take the eggs out for a long time.

"Recently, I happened to be pickling eggs again, so I bought a lot of them at home." Erzhu Niang took out a large basket of eggs, and the surface was very clean.

"Wash... Washed? ”

"Hmmm! Yes, it's already been cleaned, and I was going to do it tomorrow, but if you want to teach, you can do it today. ”

Chun Tao nodded, picking out a few eggs that had no moisture on the outside. "Eggs... Wash... To dry... Dry the water, there are... Is there alcohol? ”

"Yes, is his father drinking?"

"Hmm!" Erzhu Niang went into the house to get wine.

"Sister Chun Tao, why do you use wine!" September remembered that her mother didn't use wine when she pickled eggs, so she was curious.

Because it has to be sterilized, so that the pickled eggs will not stink, but does she know what bacteria are? "So... More... Delicious. "Lie to people, lie to people! Anyway, it's not the first time I've lied to someone.

"Oh! Then I'll go home and tell my mother. Chun Tao nodded slightly, and saw Erzhu Niang coming over with a wine jug.

"Here, there's not much left, it should be enough!"

Chun Tao weighed the weight. "Enough, salt?"

"Ahh Regarding Chun Tao's word-by-word way of speaking, Erzhu Niang is a little incomprehensible.

"Sister Chun Tao should be asking where the salt is." September suddenly reacted now that he was here to be a microphone.

"Oh! In this. "Hand the salt to Chun Tao.

Chun Tao poured the wine into the bowl and put the eggs in it. "Bubble one... A while. After two minutes, he picked it up and rolled it in the salt to make sure the eggs were all covered with salt.

"It's... What a salt fee! Erzhu Niang looked at the salt outside the eggs, and felt very distressed.

"Fei Yan... But... But soon... Very... It's delicious... You... You can... Try it. Chun Tao knows that salt is very expensive, and those who are not rich in the family dare not waste it, but if it is a business, it is still possible.

"You... You will... Will it? ”

"Yes, yes, but I'm afraid this method is not suitable for our family." Erzhu Niang looked at the salt of Baihuahua and a big bowl of wine that could not be drunk, and her heart was dripping blood.

Chun Tao knew that Erzhu Niang had a hard time accepting this method, so she didn't persuade her much. "That's... How? ”

"Wash the eggs and dry them, then soak them in wine for a while, and finally coat them with salt." Erzhu Niang really wanted to send away Chun Tao quickly, and she spoke very quickly.

"No... That's right. This one... Four... Forty days... Most... The best to eat, but twenty... Heaven also... It can also be eaten. ”

"Is this really that fast?" After hearing that it could be eaten in twenty days, Erzhu Niang was a little moved. Generally, it takes fifty or sixty days for eggs to be pickled by yourself, and this is only 40 days at most.

"Hmmm! That... Then I... We tell you... Farewell. Chun Tao sealed the jar of eggs, completed the task, and the four of them left.

"Sister Chun Tao, where are we going now?" October rested for a while and regained spirits.

"I... We... Going for a visit? Chun Tao looked at Zhou Kuiruo and asked for his opinion, and the two children also looked up at him.

"Let's go! Go along. After a busy morning, Zhou Kuiruo also knew that the two children couldn't hold back.

"Hmm!" Hearing the satisfactory answer, Chun Tao also smiled slightly, it was the first time she had lived for so long and had gone shopping with so many people!

Although she usually looks calm, she is still a child after all! Zhou Kuiruo inadvertently saw the faint smile on Chun Tao's face, and didn't realize that he was also smiling.

"Great, I've been sitting for so long today and I can finally walk around." October happily walked around Haruka. September is also very happy, but I don't forget to hold my sister's shelf and teach October with a smile on my face. "Girls should look like girls and not jump around the streets."

October grimaced at September, ignored her words, and still went his own way.

The market after lunch is much less crowded, but there are still a lot of vendors on both sides of the street. The two sisters held hands and took a look at this house, and they were very happy to see that house.

Chun Tao and Zhou Kuiruo walked side by side, following them.

"What are you going to buy?" Although Chun Tao didn't move around, her eyes were always looking for something.

"Buy... Buy silk flowers. ”

Isn't that just for kids? If she wants to wear it, she should also buy a hairpin! Zhou Kuiruo looked at Chun Tao's hair tied with strips of cloth and thought about buying her a hairpin.

"Nine... September. Chun Tao stood in front of a jewelry stall, looked at it, and called September who was wandering around.

"Sister Chun Tao! What's wrong? September led October over, and Chun Tao picked up a pale yellow silk flower.

"Was this bought for me?" September let go of October's hand, took it, and looked at the other silk flowers on the stall. "I want this pink one."

Pink? All right! Although I think the pale yellow one is better. "So... This, old... Boss... Many... How much? ”

"It's not more than twelve."

Chun Tao stretched out his hand and compared a six. "Girl, your bargaining is too low, and it's not easy for us to have a small business! You're still going up, how about Shiwen? ”

Chun Tao shook her head and compared a seven. "No, no, it's really too low."

"Let's go... Let's go! ”
