River dam, dusk.

When the temperature drops, people go out of their homes and enjoy the coolness of summer.

The old man selling vegetables pointed to the number on the electronic scale: "It's exactly one and a half pounds, and I will charge you 13 yuan 5."

Jiang Ning judged that the real weight was only one catty and two taels, and the electronic scale was a cheating scale of eight taels.

The price of 13 yuan 5 is far beyond Xue Yuantong's budget, first, she thinks it is expensive, and second, it is too much.

Originally, the amount of ginger she was referring to was not much, but the old man who sold vegetables deliberately took a few more pieces, which is easy to encounter when buying vegetables, and some stall owners deliberately let you buy more, if the thin-skinned person is often embarrassed to let it reduce.

"Uncle, help me get rid of all these pieces." Xue Yuantong said.

The old man selling vegetables was not very happy, and at Xue Yuantong's urging, he slowly removed about two-thirds of the ginger, and left one-third on the scale.

Old man: "These are 9 pieces."

Xue Yuantong complained in his heart: "It's too dark!"

The remaining third is actually more expensive than the other two-thirds!

Something is clearly wrong!

When she wanted to ask, Uncle Zhang, who was dressed in a horizontal body, came with a black-backed wolf dog, and the residents of Heba bungalows often came to Heba for a walk.

Uncle Zhang is a pig killer, and he has a lot of cruel words, and he doesn't leash the dog at all.

Adults and children passing by, seeing the big wolf dog behind him, are all frightened, if this dog goes crazy, it is estimated that it can bite people to death!

Uncle Zhang trained the dog well, and the wolf dog followed him honestly and did not sniff around.

"Little Jiang, are you really touching the loaches?" He got closer, saw a bucket of loaches, and exclaimed, "Good fellow, where did you catch the loaches?"

There are so many loaches, there should be two catties, and the wild loaches now cost at least 16 yuan a catty.

The big wolf dog stretched out the dog's head and sniffed, Jiang Ning glanced at it, and the wolf dog grabbed his tail and shrank and hid.

"No, it's in the ditch over there." Xue Yuantong gestured to the puddle under the dam.

Uncle Zhang wanted to try it, but it was hot recently, and he didn't live much, so he had a lot of free time.

After a few simple words, the old man interjected, "I've got you covered, hurry up and pay the money, I have to do business."

Uncle Zhang glanced at the old man and suddenly pointed at his nose: "Last time, Lao Tzu bought two catties of cucumbers from you, and when I went home, I didn't weigh the right amount, Gui Sun, you tricked me!"

Uncle Zhang was angry, he was really angry, and his power was amazing.

The old man shrank and retorted, "I made an honest deal!"

As he spoke, he held the scale with one hand as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Ning judged that there was a reset button over there, as long as the old man pressed it, the electronic scale could return to normal, and it was difficult to find out if it deceived people, unlike manual scales, which could be sat down if they were caught.

"Your grandmother drips, and you dare to talk back to me!" Uncle Zhang is about to hit someone.

Xue Yuantong still wants to buy vegetables and go home to cook loaches to eat, where is she willing to waste time here, she is about to talk to the old man and ask him to weigh the ginger again.

Xue Chuchu beside her suddenly spoke, and her voice was soft: "Uncle, just now one and a half catties were 13 yuan 5, right?"

Old vegetable seller: "Yes, can we still lie to you?"

Xue Chuchu looked at the one-third of the ginger on the scale: "These are 9 pieces, right?"

The old vegetable seller nodded, "The little girl remembers it clearly."

At this time, Xue Chuchu took out a 5 yuan banknote and said neatly, "Uncle, you can wrap us with half of the money you just took out, you don't need to look for the money."

The old man's face changed, and he wanted to repent, and then he looked up and saw Uncle Zhang with a meaty face.

The old man's face sank and he wrapped the ginger in pain.

……

On the way home, Xue Yuantong walked on the field road in the afterglow of the sunset, and praised with a smile:

"Chu Chu, you know how to buy vegetables!"

Xue Chuchu was very modest, "It's not my credit, because Uncle Zhang is on the side, otherwise he will definitely not sell us."

Jiang Ning said, "It's also amazing that you can think of it."

Xue Chuchu was covered

After he praised it, he finally felt that he had contributed to the small group, and the feeling of debt in his heart was a little lighter.

In the past, she often ate Jiang Ning's things, and she always felt ashamed.

Jiang Ning is responsible for making the ingredients, Tongtong is responsible for cooking, and what about her?

is specifically responsible for eating, on the surface Tongtong is a foodie, in fact, she is a foodie.

The environment in which she grew up since she was a child made Xue Chuchu unable to accept the kindness of others calmly, when she was a child at school, she borrowed a dime from Tongtong, and she didn't pay it back the next day, she felt uncomfortable in a panic.

In fact, in school, many classmates are willing to be kind to Xue Chuchu, send her breakfast, snacks, gifts, help her clean, do homework, and enjoy almost everything, there is always someone to take care of it.

However, Xue Chuchu understood that those kindnesses had already been secretly marked with a price, and she never accepted it.

Tongtong and Jiang Ning gave it, she couldn't refuse, but she would always pay it back.

Xue Yuantong shook the bucket, the loaches writhed wildly, and she asked, "Jiang Ning, how many loaches can you eat?"

Jiang Ning made up a random number: "Five."

Xue Yuantong: "I can eat 6."

Jiang Ning changed his words: "I lied to you just now, I can eat 7."

"I lied to you, I can eat 10." Xue Yuantong said solemnly.

Jiang Ning: "I should apologize to you, in fact, I made a mistake, I ate 17."

The two argued while walking, and when they were about to get home, Xue Yuantong even moved out to the Nth power, and in the end they still didn't fight over who ate more.

Xue Yuantong: "Anyway, I'll always be more than you!"

Jiang Ning coaxed her, "Have you seen the loach's beard?"

Of course Xue Yuantong saw it, her eyesight was better, and the five pairs of beards of the loaches were particularly obvious.

"I'll tell you the secret, loaches have a function, and they will grow a beard after eating." He frightened.

Xue Yuantong's expression was suddenly very exciting, she thought of the scene of looking in the mirror after she grew a beard, and quickly shook her little head, she couldn't bear to look directly.

Jiang Ning said, "I'm not afraid of growing a beard, I can eat as much as I want!"

Xue Yuantong said stiffly, "You think I'll be afraid?"

Xue Chuchu saw the childish argument between the two, and smiled lightly: "Jiang Ning, who should you eat less than Tongtong."

Xue Yuantong immediately admitted defeat and announced that she had become a loner, and even Chu Chu had betrayed her.

……

In the evening, they decided to eat loaches, but they were faced with a problem, the loaches caught in the pond were wild, lived in silt, were dirty, and needed to be dealt with carefully.

The best way is to let the loaches grow in clean water for two days so that they can vomit out the dirt in their bodies.

However, Xue Yuantong wanted to eat tonight.

Xue Chuchu said: "You can also eat it, and if you treat it with salt, you can make the loach spit out dirty things, and it can also eliminate the smell of earth."

Xue Yuantong thought about it for a moment: "It seems to be handled like this."

Jiang Ning said, "You don't have to worry about it, leave it to me."

Xue Yuantong was skeptical: "Will you get it?"

Jiang Ning said lightly, "We'll see."

With that, he picked up the bucket and poured half of the loaches, about twenty, enough for three people.

Half a bucket of water was poured into the new bucket, and the loach, which was originally dirty, became clear and writhed in the water.

The two girls gathered around the barrel to admire his solution.

Jiang Ning showed his right hand, which was a slender, knobby hand, with strong and beautiful lines, and a sense of strength.

After Xue Yuantong saw it, she hid her little hand with low self-esteem.

She said, "Don't show off, let's get it."

Jiang Ning pressed his palm and pressed it on the surface of the water, putting on a master's demeanor.

Xue Yuantong: "Hmph, so it's mysterious."

Xue Chuchu raised his spirits and was ready to see what Jiang Ning was going to do, it stands to reason that he was very reliable and rarely teased them.

Suddenly, a low-frequency "buzz" sounded, like a sweeping wave, and the entire bucket shook

Tremble.

The surface of the water inside the bucket seemed to boil, and countless tiny bubbles appeared, and unlike boiling water, the volume of those bubbles was so uniform that they were almost identical.

Jiang Ning exerted his aura, carefully controlled, and the ring-by-ring shock waves repeatedly scanned in the water, and with the pervasive divine sense, the loaches in the water trembled at high frequency.

At the same time, countless filthy things overflowed from the loach's body, like washing the marrow and cutting the bones.

Twenty seconds later, Jiang Ning withdrew his hand, and the originally clear water had become turbid.

"Change the water." Jiang Ning commanded.

Xue Chuchu came back to his senses and hurriedly changed a bucket.

Jiang Ning repeated his old trick, and after ten seconds, there was only some dirt in the bucket.

"Alright, it's done."

He not only removed the dirty substance, but also killed the parasites, bacteria, and earthy smell.

The scene just now was so strange that Xue Chuchu couldn't help but ask, "Jiang Ning, you..."

Jiang Ning: "Ancestral technique."

Xue Yuantong couldn't get used to his pretentious demeanor, and said disdainfully, "What is that, look at me!"

She struggled to move a bucket, put her hand in the water, stirred hard, and after a while, a whirlpool appeared in the bucket, in order to show the effect, Xue Yuantong lost the origami boat, and the boat was immediately swallowed by the whirlpool.

Xue Chuchu: ...

"Forget it, I don't care."

Although Xue Yuantong was not convinced by Jiang Ning on the surface, he did get a lot of dirty things just now, and it seemed that the loach was very clean.

To be on the safe side, Xue Yuantong sprinkled some salt into the bucket, and when the loach touched the salt, it was like touching poison, twisting wildly, making a "clang" sound, and Xue Yuantong hurriedly closed the lid of the bucket.

After a while, she poured some cooking wine, then brought the loach out, cut off the head, broke the abdomen, and slapped it flat.

"Eat the dried loach tonight!" Xue Yuantong decided.

Jiang Ning has no opinion, he is only responsible for eating, and while he is waiting for the meal, he leans back on the small chair and plays with his mobile phone.

Although the summer vacation has begun, there is still 999+ information in the class group every day, and there has never been a day of desertion, so it can be seen how strong the friendship between the classmates is.

Dong Qingfeng: "I'm planning to visit the Nanshi Museum next week, do you want to team up?"

Cui Yu: "Don't go, next."

Jiang Yanan: "Is it fun inside?"

Zhang Chi, who had been moving bricks for a day, scoffed: "Look at what that thing is for, it's better to buy something to eat."

Because Zhang Chi's character is very poor and he speaks very impulsively, his words were skipped by everyone.

Yu Wen: "My eldest sister plans to go next week, and I'll go with her."

Dong Qingfeng: "When the time comes, let's make an appointment for dinner, I know a private restaurant."

Duan Shigang supported his good brother Zhang Chi: "If you have that money, you might as well go to an Internet café to play games."

Dong Qingfeng was not a master to be messed with, so he said, "The money you have for the Internet café is enough for you to visit all the museums in the province."

Duan Shigang was not convinced: "Are you going online?"

"No." Dong Qingfeng replied.

Duan Shigang seized the opportunity, saw the stitches, and pointed to the point: "Then have you seen all the museums in the province?"

Dong Qingfeng: "I've seen it all, what's wrong?"

Duan Shigang: ...

Jiang Ning was satisfied with the class group.

The bewitching clown avatar sent a message, but Jiang Ning ignored it directly.

He searched in the large group of his school and found a familiar name, which was Ding Shuyan's social account.

A smile appeared on Jiang Ning's face, at the barbecue stall that night, Wei Zishan, Lin Zida, and Zhuang Jianhui were in a group.

Presumably, Ding Shuyan probably knows Wei Zishan.

He thought of something interesting.

As he said and did, he tapped the screen and chose to add friends.

In the next second, Jiang Ning's smile froze, and a prompt popped up on the screen [The other party is forbidden to add friends].

……

Xue Yuantong held the cooking spoon, turned the ginger, garlic and millet in the pot to spicy, stir-fried the fried loach, and the whole kitchen was full of fragrance.

She swallowed saliva while stir-frying, stupidly excessive.

Xue Chuchu made an electric cake and made a dead dough cake, and the rice cooker was boiled mung bean tea.

Jiang Ning contributed two tomatoes, which he picked in the garden of Huqi Mountain, after Xue Chuchu cut them, mixed them with sugar, and a cold tomato was ready.

Dinner was a meat and a vegetable, three people ate, it was getting late, and the kitchen was a little stuffy.

Jiang Ning turned on the light at the door and moved the dining table to the hall, near the open space outside.

Uncle Tang, who shook a fan to enjoy the coolness, greeted: "This is the time to eat!"

Jiang Ning chatted a few words, and the dishes were ready.

Xue Yuantong didn't eat the loach first, and the chopsticks were towards the tomatoes, which Jiang Ning took back!

Xue Yuantong has been hungry for a long time, and his chopsticks don't stop, eating three pieces in a row.

She was very enjoyable to eat, but it was bitter, she didn't understand why Tongtong didn't eat the dry loach and ate tomatoes.

Jiang Ning saw Chu Chu's reserve, and said, "Leave her alone, eat vegetables."

Xue Chuchu sandwiched a piece of loach at this time, Tongtong's craftsmanship is as always, spicy and fragrant, delicious and delicious, without the slightest fishy smell.

She bit into the loach, it was fragrant and crispy, and even the bones were crispy.

Uncle Tang next door grabbed a handful of fried broad beans, looked at them, and said, "The three of you are firing together all day now?"

Xue Yuantong: "I cook!"

She moved her chopsticks towards the dry loach.

Uncle Tang laughed twice, his hand shook, and the fried broad beans fell to the ground, he quickly bent down to pick them up, and he didn't feel dirty, so he rubbed them and continued to eat.

Seeing Xue Yuantong and the others looking at them, Uncle Tang smiled: "Don't underestimate these broad beans, in our era, it was not easy to eat fried broad beans!"

Xue Chuchu agreed: "My grandfather too, he used to harvest peanuts and transport them home, but they were spilled halfway, and my grandfather stopped to pick them up."

Uncle Tang felt that the little girl was sensible, so he chatted a few more: "A few here and a few there, the accumulation is too much, what do you say?" If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles, you can't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas."

Xue Chuchu nodded lightly.

Uncle Tang was happy and boasted: "Our generation is used to living a hard life, and we know how to cherish it best!"

Xue Yuantong pouted: "Last month, you lost 50 in the fight against the landlord, I heard you sigh at the door, 50 yuan is enough for you to buy how many broad beans?"
