Chapter 224: Sweet and Sweet
Grandma Liang and Liang Xiaobei have already cleaned the yard, all the red strawberries have been picked, Ergouzi, Wang Xi and eight-year-old Mao have taken a part, and the rest of the supply and marketing cooperatives have been included.
Now the strawberries can rest for a while.
Grandma Liang had already prepared all the offerings for the sacrificial stove, Liang Xiaobei looked at her sister and said, "Sister, there are still 7 days left for the New Year, what should we do with the carrots in the field?" Will it be gouged out after a year? ”
Liang Xiaonan said: "Tomorrow I will go to the town to pay a New Year's greeting to Mayor You and tell him that the carrots will be cut out before the year." ”
"Then do you want someone from our village to shave carrots?"
"No need for people from our village. Tomorrow you go to Nanfeng Town, someone sends a straw basket to the yard over there, see if you like that person, if you like him, ask him to help shave carrots, tell him that an acre of carrots are finished, give 3 yuan, plus 10 catties of carrots, if you don't like him, then don't mention it. ”
Liang Xiaonan told him that a straw basket was 1 cent, and gave them the account to settle on the spot.
When it was dark, Grandma Liang began to sacrifice the stove and asked Xiaobei to close the outside door and not let anyone in.
On the wall in front of the stove was a portrait of the king of the stove, and Grandma Liang set the dining table, put a bowl of meat, a bag of candy, and a basket of strawberries newly picked today.
Grandma Liang had words in her mouth: "Lord Zao, Xiaonan and Xiaobei are very diligent this year, life is good, you must tell the Jade Emperor when you go to the sky, the two children are very hardworking, we must have a good harvest next year, and we will have food every day!" ”
Liang Xiaonan doesn't understand either, it's very interesting to watch, this is the sacrificial stove?
After dinner, Grandma Liang said to Liang Xiaonan: "We have enough food to eat this year, let's steam steamed buns, right?" ”
Liang Xiaonan blinked, rummaged through the information in his mind for a while, and probably knew what this steamed bun meant, that is, people with good family conditions, steamed all kinds of steamed buns, steamed buns, noodles and snacks, and ate until the Lantern Festival after the year, and the longer you eat, the better your life will be.
Dakeng Village is too poor, she has never encountered steamed buns since she can remember, Wang Cuiying originally had some money, but Zhang Xinyi said not to show her wealth, so they never steamed buns before.
"Steam!" Liang Xiaonan is really not afraid now. Afraid of revealing wealth? She is already very merciful if she doesn't flaunt her wealth!
Her rice grain and flour can be generously said to be New Year's goods sent by the leaders of the town, county, and city.
The people of Dakeng Village, she just wants to make it clear that they can see their rise.
The next morning, Liang Xiaonan rode to Xiaoyun Town.
When she was about to get to town, she released a pickup truck from the space, and the back compartment was filled with a bucket of strawberries.
went to the supply and marketing cooperative, It just so happened that Li Shaoping was walking around in front of the counter, he was the manager, but it was time for the New Year these days, no matter how difficult it was in the year, everyone had shopping needs during the New Year, there were a lot of people, it was crowded, and he was next to him.
Liang Xiaonan looked at the crowd crowded in front of the counter and asked, "Are there any strawberries?" ”
"When will it be available?"
The salesman was so busy that no matter how good-tempered a person was, he either didn't answer, or just said, "No!" Without! ”
Liang Xiaonan smiled, strawberries were sold for 1 yuan, and Li Shaoping sold them for 1 yuan and 5, so many people still bought them? She took a closer look and immediately understood, asking strawberries to look at some units.
Seeing Liang Xiaonan, he immediately walked out from behind the counter and said with a smile: "Comrade Xiaoliang, what do you want to buy?" ”
"It's very lively!" Liang Xiaonan didn't answer his question, pointed to the car and said, "I'm here to save the scene." ”
Li Shaoping saw that the car of her pickup truck was covered with plastic sheeting, and he didn't know what it was, and he had an expectation in his heart, there would be no strawberries, right?
Open the side gate and let her drive into the yard.
This courtyard is larger than Liang Xiaonan's yard in Nanfeng Town, and there are several large warehouses in it, piled with various commodities and materials.
Liang Xiaonan opened the plastic paper on the car, revealing a cart full of strawberries.
Because strawberries are fresh fruits, they are not only a little soaky, but also afraid of pressure and take up a lot of space. She just released it from the space, and it only loaded a little more than a ton.
"Oh, it's a strawberry, I thought there weren't any." Li Shaoping said excitedly, "Yesterday I went to your house, and your brother said that he had taken it all." ”
"Let's go over the scales!" Liang Xiaonan said, "This is what I planted in Nanfeng Town, and the city took most of it, and that's all left." ”
There are two yards good, lying is so smooth!
Li Shaoping was so happy, these goods were not sold at all, and now he moved from the backyard to the front counter, and immediately made half of the money!
A few days ago, I was too timid, and I didn't dare to sign an underwriting agreement at that time, and if I signed an exclusive sale, it would be good to grab it in the two counties next door.
He didn't say anything, immediately unloaded, weighed, and settled the bill, Liang Xiaonan got more than 2,000 yuan, and left to find You Guoqing.
They will be working until Chinese New Year's Eve, so the town office is still very lively.
She was still driving a pickup truck, with a backpack behind her, You Guoqing said, "You can come here and bring gifts?" ”
Everyone in the office came over with a smile: "Comrade Xiaoliang, what good things have you brought again?" Is it a strawberry? ”
Liang Xiaonan lifted the back basket, lifted the lid, and took out a few cloth bags, which were full of walnuts.
In this era, you can eat a few walnuts, which is simply beautiful, and walnuts have always been a good nourishing product in the folk.
You Guoqing took the walnut, and the first action was to take the door clip, Liang Xiaonan said that there was no need to clip it, this is a fruit walnut, and it can be broken by hand.
You Guoqing suspiciously took two walnuts and squeezed them in the palm of his hand, and pinched the whole walnut, not to mention that he was a big man, even a child pinching it was not a problem.
"Why is it so thin?" You Guoqing said, "The walnut skin I usually eat is very thick, the meat is less, and there are a lot of deflated seeds, this is good, the skin is so thin." ”
He stuffed the walnut in his mouth and tasted it, and immediately his eyes widened, is this a walnut? Not only is it fragrant, but it is also very sweet and crunchy.
He ate one, and then another, and several people in the office were not very embarrassed, and they were greedy, and the mayor didn't speak, and they were embarrassed to do it directly.
You Guoqing asked Liang Xiaonan: "You gave it to me?" ”
Liang Xiaonan said: "Well, I've given you a New Year's greeting in advance." ”
You Guoqing saw that there were four or five pockets, and there were 3 catties in each pocket.
He opened a bag and put it on the table, and said, "You guys can try it too, and if it's delicious, let's buy some." Xiaoliang, how much do you have these walnuts a pound? How many more? ”
"No, that's all, someone else helped bring a little from the south, I ate it deliciously, and brought it to you."
"Oh, it turned out that someone else brought it to you too!" Don't think about it, there is no lower pocket after eating this bag! Mayor You directly put away the open pocket.
Liang Xiaonan talked about the carrot matter, and Mayor You was immediately happy, the grain matter is more important than walnuts!
"Let's go, I'll go to the field with you to see how the carrots are growing!"
You Guoqing is about to go to the county for a year-end meeting, and none of the 12 towns under the county have a good harvest, and Xiaoyun Town is at the bottom.
He was embarrassed to go to the meeting, and every time he sat at the end, he didn't dare to sigh when he ate.
