"Do you want to eat this shrimp stewed or steamed, spicy or not?"

"Simmer in oil, don't steam."

Seeing Ye Zixin say this sentence without thinking, Ye Xiangyang couldn't help but smile.

The world of children is so simple.

Back home.

As soon as he put the purchased ingredients in the kitchen, Jiang Qin also entered the door with his back feet.

The time was just right, Jiang Qin put on an apron and prepared to start cooking.

Seeing this, Ye Xiangyang found a cartoon for Ye Zixin to watch, and went into the kitchen to help out.

Although his cooking skills are not very good, Ye Xiangyang helps wash vegetables or something, and there is no problem.

Oh, and he will cook rice in the sense of a single layer.

Estimating the weight of two large and one small three, Ye Xiangyang washed the rice and put it in the pot, added an appropriate amount of water according to the method taught by Jiang Qin since childhood, closed the rice cooker, and started it with the power on and selected mode.

Perfect!

Next, it's all the stage for Jiang Qin's show.

Originally, Ye Xiangyang only planned to buy a fish, but when he saw the tiger head shrimp, he couldn't help but buy a catty, plus the meat and vegetables he bought before, Jiang Qin estimated that he was busy.

An hour later.

Ye Xiangyang's favorite sweet and sour fish, Ye Zixin's braised prawns, plus Jiang Qin's best braised pork, as well as other stir-fried vegetables and a soup, appeared on the table one after another.

Three people, four dishes and one soup, but it is rich enough.

If Jiang Qin was alone, he would definitely not be able to eat this, and he would not usually do so much, but with Ye Xiangyang and Ye Zixin present, then another story.

Jiang Qin took off his apron, and Ye Xiangyang had already helped to prepare the meal.

Seeing Ye Xiangyang and Ye Zixin sitting there waiting for her to be served, without moving the chopsticks, Jiang Qin said with a smile: "Hurry up and move the chopsticks, otherwise the dishes will be cold." ”

Ye Zixin lowered her head and secretly licked the corners of her mouth.

In fact, when her uncle wasn't paying attention just now, she had already secretly eaten two prawns.

It's just that this can't fill her stomach at all, so after Jiang Qin spoke, Ye Zixin happily picked up the chopsticks again.

Eating shrimp has to peel the shell, which is actually quite troublesome, but this is not a problem at all for five-year-old Ye Zixin.

has already practiced a "skill".

You don't even need to worry about eating fish.

However, Jiang Qin still carefully helped Ye Zixin pick out the fish bones, and then gave her the rest of the fish meat.

In comparison, Ye Xiangyang does not have this treatment.

Do it yourself, have plenty of food and clothing.

Finish a meal.

Ye Xiangyang was lying on the sofa, touching his stomach, and he didn't want to move at all.

Ye Zixin was right next to him, maintaining the same posture.

Jiang Qin looked at the big and small ones who had no image at the moment, and shook his head helplessly.

But I was very satisfied.

Next up is the lunch break.

watched cartoons in the living room for more than half an hour, and Ye Zixin, who began to feel sleepy, was hugged back to the room by Ye Xiangyang, and Ye Xiangyang also took the opportunity to go back to his room and squint for a while.

The nap lasted only half an hour.

When I woke up, I was refreshed.

In this home, no matter what you do, there is a sense of comfort that makes people relax.

Afternoon.

Ye Xiangyang was fine, but Jiang Qin was going out to participate in a reading club.

didn't want to be bored at home, Ye Xiangyang also took Ye Zixin out.

There was nowhere to go, so he led Ye Zixin around the community.

Normally, during this time of the afternoon, it is still relatively hot outside, but there are many trees in the community, and when the wind blows, it is still a little cool.

This is also one of the benefits of the old community, right?

And then......

Ye Xiangyang followed Ye Zixin to squat in the shade and watch the ants.

This look is half an hour.

It's in the nature of a child to be curious.

When he was a child before, Ye Xiangyang also did this kind of thing.

Maybe many adults don't understand, and even think it's naïve, but Ye Xiangyang finds it interesting.

Of course, if Ye Xiangyang was left alone to watch the ants for a long time, he would definitely not do such a "stupid" thing now.

But with Ye Zixin, then you can accept it.

In her body, it seems that she can see the shadow of her past.

Seeing Ye Zixin's serious study, Ye Xiangyang regretted a little that he didn't prepare a magnifying glass for her.

didn't want to interrupt her current state, and didn't dare to leave her here alone, Ye Xiangyang gave up his plan to go home and get it.

After persisting for half an hour, Ye Xiangyang's patience was almost exhausted.

After all, it is not when I was young, it is difficult for Ye Zixin to stay focused on this kind of thing for a long time.

So Ye Zixin was the only one left to observe the ants.

All of a sudden, Ye Xiangyang went from elegant biological activity research to the popular behavior of watching children.

"Uncle, why did that old man rummage through the trash can?"

Suddenly, Ye Zixin looked up at Ye Xiangyang, pointed not far away and asked.

Following the direction of Ye Zixin's finger, Ye Xiangyang soon saw an old man about sixty years old rummaging through the trash can, taking out a few mineral water bottles from it, and quickly putting them into the sack in his hand.

"He's picking up bottles." Ye Xiangyang replied.

"But why would he pick up bottles that other people threw away?"

Ye Zixin obviously couldn't understand this behavior.

Ye Xiangyang didn't want to rudely popularize the popular saying and definition of picking up rags with her, so he carefully organized the wording and explained: "Because picking up bottles is also a kind of labor, the old man is making money through his own labor!" ”

"Make money?!"

There is no doubt that Ye Zixin was attracted by these two words.

At her age, she obviously already knows the concept of a part of money, and knows that money can buy many, many delicious things.

For a moment, Ye Xiangyang seemed to see a big ingots flashing with golden light in her eyes.

"Uncle, how much money can you make a day picking up bottles?"

"Not necessarily, it may be dozens, it may be one or two hundred."

Ye Xiangyang really didn't know much about this, so he could only give a vague answer according to his own guess.

"One or two hundred?"

"Probably not so much."

"A few dozen is a lot...... Uncle, shall we go pick up the bottles? When you make money, I'll treat you to ice cream. ”

“……”

Ye Xiangyang suddenly didn't know how to pick it up.

If Ye Rou knew that she was taking her daughter to rummage through the trash cans and pick up bottles, she didn't know if she would beat him up when she came back.

Ye Xiangyang felt that the probability was very high.

However, looking at the little niece's little eyes full of anticipation, Ye Xiangyang couldn't bear to refuse, so he could only discuss and say, "Why don't we observe first, study and study how to pick up bottles to make money?" ”

"Still want to study?"

"In any industry, we must first do market research to know whether it is suitable for us." Ye Xiangyang looked like a person who had come over.

"Listen to my uncle."

Ye Zixin is so young, so she naturally doesn't understand any market research, but with her unconditional trust in Ye Xiangyang's uncle, she nodded and agreed.

"First, we might need a sack."

"Sack!"

"And then ......"

"And then?"

“……”

Ye Xiangyang was also stunned.

He suddenly realized that he had no experience in picking up bottles.

A sack at the beginning, and the bottle is all about picking up?

Nothing seems to be a problem.

And so.

Ye Xiangyang really found a sack and came over.

I am ready to take Ye Zixin to practice and investigate and research.

Mainly, I didn't find anything to study.

The only way to know is through practice.

In this way, one big and one small took a sack and began their journey to pick up bottles.

Of course, it's not just bottles that they pick up, they want everything that can be exchanged for money, including paper skins.

However, the two of them turned around for a long time, but only picked up a flattened can on the side of the road, and found nothing.

They also looked for trash cans.

But these garbage cans in the community seem to have been turned over a long time ago, and none of them can be exchanged for money.

Ye Xiangyang's heart was very depressed.

It's rare to want to get involved in this field for the first time, and it turns out to be unsuccessful.

Very frustrating!

If one day I really fall into picking up bottles, I'm afraid I'll starve to death.

It wasn't until Ye Xiangyang "bumped into" with the "fellow senior" he just saw in the next trash can that Ye Xiangyang suddenly realized.

It turns out that these garbage cans in the community are all owned by owners.

Seeing Ye Xiangyang coming over with the same sack in his hand, the other party immediately became vigilant and had a very indifferent attitude, for fear that Ye Xiangyang would rob him of his business.

Ye Xiangyang was helpless.

He's really not here to grab turf.

But with the sack he still holds in his hand, it's really a little hard to explain.

took the initiative to talk to the other party and asked for a cigarette, which resolved the hostility of the other party.

Ye Xiangyang does not smoke.

Simply after participating in work, I found that sometimes I have a pack of cigarettes on my body, and it will be easier to communicate with people who have smoking habits, so I often carry it with me.

Xu felt Ye Xiangyang's respect, and felt that if he was dressed like this, he would not come to compete with him to grab the territory, and carefully put away the cigarette just now, and the other party's words gradually increased.

Now that the practice has begun, how can Ye Xiangyang let go of this opportunity to visit and investigate when he has the opportunity?

After intentional talks, Ye Xiangyang really learned a lot of industry information and insider stories from the other party, and gained a lot.

Seeing the old man leave, seeing Ye Zixin once again showing a look of loss, Ye Xiangyang encouraged quite confidently: "Don't be discouraged, I have mastered the secret of success in the industry of picking up bottles." ”

I believe that the next time I pick up the bottle, it should be better than this time......
