Chapter 982: Famine, Natural Disasters 139
The brother and sister ate happily, and Cheng Yuanxi, Cheng Yuandong and others began to look for people as soon as they entered the night market.
After looking for a long time, I found them in front of the barbecue stand.
"Mingli, Mingyi."
Cheng Yuanxi strode towards them.
Cheng Mingli swallowed the meat in his mouth, followed the prestige, and saw his father striding over; is not as polite as in the past, looking at him full of anger, he chuckled in his heart, and glanced at his cheerful sister.
"Sister, dad is here."
Mingyi smiled at her brother soothingly, looked up at Cheng Yuanxi and smiled brightly, "Dad, you're here, come and eat meat; The meat of this house is a little more delicious than the two families I ate before, so I bought some after eating and brought it back to my mother to taste. ”
After speaking, he tore off a piece of roast mutton and gave it to Cheng Yuanxi, who had already walked to the table.
The daughter has filial piety, Cheng Yuanxi paused, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little; Take a bite of the meat, the roasted meat is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, there is no fishy smell, the seasoning is used well, and the mouth is full of fragrance.
Immediately he couldn't stop, and he took another bite; By the way, he sat next to his daughter and beckoned to Cheng Yuandong and the others, "Come on, the meat here is different from what we used to eat, and it tastes pretty good." ”
Subtle expression of the meat delicious.
Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuannan glanced at each other, stepped forward, one sat next to Cheng Mingli, and the other sat next to Cheng Yuanxi; And the dark one went to Mingyi's hand and sat down, as for the four brothers of Cheng Mingyi.
Cheng Mingyi, as the eldest brother, consciously stayed at the entrance of the night market to guard the board car he brought; There were only three people, Cheng Minglian, Cheng Mingxin and Cheng Mingming.
A table just sat down.
"Boss, another roasted whole lamb and a row of grilled steaks."
Steak is counted in steaks, that is, half of the steak is secretly grilled on a fire.
"Okay, I'll send it right away." Speaking in a standard Northwest accent, the boss happily sent the grilled steak and roasted whole lamb on the big stove, "Slow use of the guests." ”
Mingyi said: "Boss, help us bake two more steaks, and we also need a large piece of steak; Wait for us to check out together when we go, and help us wrap it up by the way. ”
"Okay, don't worry, the guest will give you a tight bag."
Business is booming, the boss is in a good mood, humming an unknown Northwest minor tune and busy.
Mingyi and Cheng Mingli have already eaten a lot of barbecue and have a round belly; At this time, one person pulls a steak and gnaws it; While watching them eat deliciously, they felt that they had an appetite again, and ate three steaks one after another.
Several large men ate a lot of meat, and only one front leg of the roasted whole sheep was left, and one steak was left; They were all full, and the rest was prepared for Cheng Mingyi.
"Dad, uncle, second uncle, dark one, are your cousins full? If we haven't eaten enough, let's shout some more and take it with you on the way. ”
"When you're full, stop shouting." Cheng Yuandong hurriedly waved his hand, touching the belly of the food support, and tasted the happiness of eating for the first time after escaping from the famine for so long.
Cheng Yuannan didn't get much better, so he let go of eating, and his belt was a little tight at this time.
Dark One can often eat it, but he is very restrained; It's just that he hasn't eaten for half a day, and he's hungry early, so he barely eats eight points full.
The three brothers of Cheng Minglian ate extraordinarily boldly, and they couldn't speak at this time.
Cheng Mingli smiled, "Sister, then let's buy two servings and eat them slowly on the way; We digest quickly, and it doesn't take long for us to digest these things. ”
They practice martial arts, have a good stomach, digest quickly, and are not afraid to eat.
Mingyi gave her brother a look, the elders came, and it must be the elders who settled the bill; wants to coax the elders to give money, but my brother really has no eyesight.
Cheng Mingli looked at the three brothers of Cheng Yuanxi quietly, "Dad, uncle, second uncle, can my sister and I order two more copies?" ”
"Haven't you eaten yet?" Cheng Yuandong was reluctant to pay the money, and touched the twenty taels on his body; If you are full, you will not order, and if you have money, you should save some money.
"I'm full now, and I'll be hungry again later." Cheng Mingli said with a smile: "Uncle, my sister and I often run outside, and we eat a lot and consume a lot. ”
Cheng Yuandong hesitated, but Cheng Yuannan didn't say anything, and took out the twenty taels and fifteen taels on his body.
"Look at it, the second uncle can only take out so much silver."
Anyway, the little niece and little nephew make a lot of money, so let them eat it; The third brother had thousands of taels of silver on him, and compared with those silvers, this bit of silver was only used to make them happy.
"Thank you, second uncle, second uncle is really generous." Mingyi praised without hesitation, and Cheng Yuannan's face couldn't help but smile.
Don't say it, it's not bad to be generous, and it's not bad to get the praise of the little niece; At least it shows that the little niece remembers that he is generous to the second uncle.
Seeing this, Cheng Yuandong also took out fifteen taels, "Is thirty taels enough to pay for the meat?" ”
"Dad, go check out." For his father, Mingyi is justified, "The lamb used to roast the whole sheep is two taels of silver each, and the steak is half a fan of three taels of silver; Roasted the whole sheep and ate three, and to take one away, that is, four, eight taels of silver; Three steaks, nine taels of silver, and my brother and I took another roasted whole sheep away, a total of twenty taels of silver. ”
"There are still ten taels left in thirty taels, and the second uncle will take back the remaining ten taels."
Mingyi settled the accounts, Cheng Yuandong listened to it refreshingly, and Cheng Yuannan's impression of Mingyi's intelligence increased a few points.
"Okay, I'll go check out." Cheng Yuanxi counted twenty taels and took it away to find the boss to settle the bill.
Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuannan put away five taels of silver.
Cheng Yuandong looked at the rest of the silver, and could only silently sigh that the silver was not spent; It costs twenty taels to come out for a meal, and they used to use twenty taels for many years when they were in their hometown.
Cheng Yuannan was glad that there were five taels left.
"Yiyi, how do you have that head and melon seeds? Why is this clever? Cheng Yuannan looked at Mingyi's rarity, and he had a little dislike for his two sons, "Look at your two cousins, it's not good to do arithmetic, it's not good to read; In the future, like the second uncle, he will be a person who depends on the sky for food. ”
The intelligence of the family seems to be concentrated in the third room.
The third brother is a smart man, the third brother and sister are sober-minded and have a city in their hearts; The little nephew has an excellent talent for reading, and the little niece is not weak.
Their family will only have to rely on three rooms in the future.
"The second uncle praises me, it's all good for my father and mother to give birth to me." Hehe smiled and quickly changed the topic, "Dad seems to be back, let's go too." ”
Cheng Yuanxi carried two roasted whole sheep, and a steak came back and handed it to the three Cheng Minglian brothers; Then he took out a stack of oiled paper from his arms, which he begged for from the boss, and took the leftover leg of mutton and steak with him, and brought it to Cheng Mingyi, so that he could fill his stomach too.
The group walked back in a hurry, Mingyi still wanted to see other places in the night market, but unfortunately there was no time to go.
With regret, Mingyi was dragged by her brother to the entrance of the night market.
Cheng Mingyi saw them coming back, and hurriedly walked over, "Dad, second uncle and third uncle, you can be counted as coming back to Gollum."
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Mingyi's stomach protested first.
