Chapter 124: Cleaning up the "old acquaintances" on the train
The weather in the north is cold, and in winter, everyone likes to sit at home and bake the stove, and there are few people doing business outside.
Ye Jin led her sister around and unknowingly came to the farmers' market.
The economy has recovered in the 80s, and the farmers' markets here are thriving.
"Let's go inside."
Ye Jin happily pulled her sister in, passing by the stalls, she immediately noticed that something was wrong.
"Why are these cabbages so big in a bundle?"
"How did you cut such a big piece of meat?"
"Half of the mutton is sold?"
"Sister, are you all so rich? Do you spend so much money on everything? ”
Ye Jin was shocked, and Gu Yan couldn't help but pat her head with a smile.
"It's cold in the north, and people here eat a lot, so they like to buy things back and store them in the cellar, so they buy them in large quantities. Chinese cabbage is bought for ten catties and ten catties, and the meat is also bought for half and half of the meat, so you don't have to feel unusual. ”
"No, you haven't been to the North, how do you know?"
Ye Jin saw that the chives were bundled into a big bundle and thrown on the stall so casually, so she asked tentatively.
"Uncle, can you buy one of your green onions?"
"Little girl, I don't think you're here to buy something, you're here to smash the field, right?"
Northerners buy a green onion, who do they look down on?
"This, I just like to eat fresh things, and there are no green onions at home, so I want to buy a green onion and go back to the next noodles."
Ye Jin patiently explained, and the uncle directly threw a handful of green onions over.
"Take it, a handful of green onions is only one dollar, how can you sell a green onion? You take this handful of green onions back and store them in the cellar, and you want to make dumplings and dumplings. ”
"It's too much, forget it."
Ye Jin couldn't bear it, so she went to the snack bar next to her and bought a few big meat buns.
The buns in the north are white and fat, and there are many fillings in them, of course, the price is not cheap, but one bun is definitely the top two in the south.
After making trouble for a while, Ye Jin began to inquire about business.
The fat man on the train lived in this town, and Gu Yan even found out the information of his ancestors for 18 generations.
At that time, it was difficult to make a move on the train, but now, since he has come here, he naturally has to loosen his muscles.
"Uncle, how to get to Lane 18 of Xinyu Street? If you can tell me, I bought your handful of green onions. ”
Ye Jin took out a dollar from his pocket and handed it over arrogantly.
This is the last handful of green onions, which looks a bit awkward, but the portion is definitely enough.
The uncle took the money and put it in his pocket, and he got up and cleaned up the stall.
"Then you just ask the right person, old man, I live in Xinyu Street, I'll take you there!"
The uncle led the way in front with a flat burden, and a handful of green onions swayed in the basket.
Along the way, Ye Wei was eating the buns in small bites, which were fragrant and soft, and they were so delicious.
Ye Jin took her sister's little hand, and as soon as she turned around, she saw that she had eaten half of the bun.
"This girl, she must have been hungry all these years."
Ye Jin smiled dotingly, Ye Wei finished eating one bun, and Ye Jin handed over his two buns.
"Take it and eat more."
"Sister, will you think I've eaten too much and don't want me anymore?"
Ye Wei's little face was red, she had obviously eaten in the morning, and now she had eaten two big meat buns in a row.
This big meat bun costs two cents a piece, and two will cost four cents, and now my sister gives her two more buns, if she eats it, then she can't eat her sister's salary for a day?
"How so? My sister is so thin, she will buy you as much food as she wants. ”
"You're such a good sister!"
The old man turned his head, with tears in his eyes, his youngest daughter was born in 59 years without food and clothing.
When she was a year old, she had to pick up and eat a grain of rice that fell on the ground.
Even if she saved food in this way, she still starved to death in the end.
It's useless for him to be a father, if he can make more money like the little girl and buy more food for his daughter, now the girl is in her 20s.
"My sister is the best sister in the world!"
Ye Wei straightened her chest, she tightened Ye Jin's hand, and said proudly.
"This is the first lane of Xinyu Street, and it used to be Lane 18."
The old man stretched out his trembling fingers and shook his fingers, and Ye Jin pulled his sister and strode forward.
"Sister, are you going to Lane 18 of Xinyu Street to find your old acquaintance?"
Ye Wei saw that her sister was so eager, and she also quickened her pace to catch up.
"Well, I met an old acquaintance on the train, isn't it going back, and I happened to come over to have a look."
Ye Jin didn't plan to explain the dirty things she encountered to her sister, so as not to stain her sister's ears.
"Then is there a drop for today's lunch?"
Ye smiled brightly, and Ye Jin patted her on the top of the head.
"What do you think, you can do something else when you come to someone else's house besides eating."
This sister of hers has been really hungry all these years, and she thinks about eating all day long.
"What else can you do besides eat? Do you have to give him a gift? ”
Ye Wei saw that her sister was empty-handed, and she didn't look like she was going to give gifts.
Ye Jin smiled and didn't speak, and the doubts in Ye Wei's heart were even stronger.
The two walked over and found that the door of Lane 18 was open, and it seemed that someone was at home.
Ye Wei knocked on the door cautiously, there was no movement in the house, Ye Wei was still muttering suspiciously: "The door is obviously open, how can there be no one in the house?" ”
Ye Jin pushed the door in with a big sting, and at a glance, he saw that the fat man was sleeping comfortably on a chair with his eyes closed with a hot water bag in his hand and a stove on his feet.
Ye Jin swept around the room and found the water cup on the shelf.
"What time is it, why hasn't this person woken up yet, there are a lot of on his eyes!"
Ye Wei took a step back with a disgusted face, thinking to herself why her sister's friend was so sloppy?
"This man doesn't pay attention to hygiene, you go wash his face!"
Ye Jin picked up the water cup and filled a large glass of cold water in the kitchen, and her fingertips touched a little cold water, which made her shiver all over.
Not only is the weather cold in the north, but the water is also bitterly cold.
Ye Jin stuffed the water into his sister's hand, and before Ye Wei could react, Ye Jin pushed on her wrist, and a glass of cold water was poured on the fat man's face accurately, and then flowed down his double chin into his collar.
"Ahh Ahhhh Ahh!!hhhhh Which bastard who killed a thousand knives dared to pour cold water into Lao Tzu's neck? ”
The fat man opened his eyes violently, and he smashed the hot water bag on the ground with a thunderous kick, and kicked the stove away, and the charcoal in the stove splashed right on his feet, and he jumped up and down the hall with one foot.
"Sister, isn't this person a fool?"
