Chapter 122: The Grain Store Shopkeeper's Soft Grinding and Hard Bubbles
Successfully loaded the grain into the car, An Liang and Anton drove the car, and the three of them went to the grain store.
The rest of the family continues to peel peanuts, and they can peel forty or fifty catties a day, but this is already very good, after all, they all have to be peeled by hand, and their fingers hurt.
But now, they don't care if their fingers hurt or not, and they are all looking forward to a restaurant banquet for a while.
One, two, three, four, five, six, all of them combined, none of them have ever been to the restaurant to eat, can you not look forward to adding excitement?
Xia Qiyue, on the other hand, hurried to the grain store, because she had already exceeded the time she had made an appointment yesterday, and she was afraid that the grain store manager would not grind her.
When she arrived at the grain store, the shopkeeper was respectfully standing at the door of the grain store to see off customers.
looked respectful and humble, with a small and low appearance, so that Xia Qiyue couldn't help but look at the carriage in front of him a few more times.
Waiting until the carriage in front of him was far away, Xia Qiyue got out of the carriage and walked to the door.
"The shopkeeper's... Didn't delay your business, did you? Xia Qiyue walked as he spoke, and the carriage behind him allowed Liangzi Dongzi to drive close to the door of the store.
"Ah, you're here, it's too early, it's not time yet! Let the carriage go to the backyard! Just talk to the people there! ”
The shopkeeper said nothing, then entered the shop and ignored it.
Xia Qiyue had no choice but to let the two of them drive the carriage to the backyard of the grain store.
As soon as there was a knock on the door, Xia Qiyue said what she meant, and the middle-aged man in the backyard who seemed to be in charge led her inside.
After weighing, the rice was carried in, but Xia Qiyue asked to follow up, and they agreed.
They only thought that Xia Qiyue was a relative of the shopkeeper or something, so they had no intention of embarrassing it.
Xia Qiyue looked at the donkey walking around the mill outside the grinding plate, his eyes were still blindfolded, and he was curious.
In her previous life, she had seen this kind of grinding disc when she was a child, and at that time, her grandmother took her to grind fried rice to eat, and it was not too delicious to eat with yogurt.
That kind of cream is not whipped, it is made by fermenting milk, or it is the kind of cream that can be made from yellow oil.
Xia Qiyue looked at it, and the light yellow rice slowly grinded into white and clear rice, which was a very artifact.
However, as soon as the rice came out, the backyard steward couldn't wait, and after saying hello to Xia Qiyue, he hurriedly ran back to the grain store.
Xia Qiyue didn't care much, she just thought that people had something to do, but unexpectedly, it didn't take long for the shopkeeper to hurry over, and she realized that the backyard steward had only run away when he saw her rice.
The shopkeeper ran over with a snort, didn't care about greeting Xia Qiyue, and grabbed the freshly ground rice in his hand and looked at it carefully.
rubbing, smelling and biting, there are still words in the mouth, "Good, wonderful, fine!" I've been dealing with grain all my life, and I've never seen such high-quality polished rice. ”
Next to him, the housekeeper in the backyard hurriedly stepped forward, "I'm right, shopkeeper, This is the more refined rice in the finest, this kind of rice is strong and fragrant, and you can smell it from afar."
Xia Qiyue looked at the two people who completely studied themselves as decorations, and then looked at the two people who were guarding the carriage behind them with some worries, and approached the shopkeeper quietly, and asked coldly
"Is it good rice?"
The shopkeeper was frightened and threw a small handful of rice on the ground.
"Oops... Girl, you're scared to death! ”
Xia Qiyue nodded, "Shopkeeper, you're scared to death too!" ”
Without saying a word, she hurriedly ran over and began to study her grain, but she said that she would give her silver, how could the shopkeeper take her grain and study it without asking?
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for this girl, it's a little one who saw that your rice is a good rice, so I went to find the shopkeeper to give the palm of my eyes, I'm really sorry..."
Without waiting for the shopkeeper to speak, the backyard steward behind him hurriedly stood up and apologized.
"I know that my rice is high-quality, high-grade polished rice, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to great lengths to come and grind rice, wouldn't it be better to buy ready-made rice? Because this rice is delicious, that's why I came to grind rice! Xia Qiyue said something proudly as if showing off.
The shopkeeper couldn't help it, and squatted down to pick up the rice that he accidentally dropped.
"The little one is here to pick it up, the shopkeeper..."
The two of them picked up the rice like this, but Xia Qiyue didn't care so much, someone helped her grind the rice, and she didn't pay attention to a small handful of rice, mainly because she was afraid that she would be misunderstood as selling rice.
Even if you want to sell it, you have to let them beg for themselves, so that they can sell it for a good price.
Sure enough, when the second set was finished and the third set was finished, the shopkeeper couldn't help it and came to talk to her.
"Little girl, did you grow this rice at home?"
Xia Qiyue turned around, first glanced at the two people next to the carriage in the distance, and saw that they couldn't hear it, so he said, "No!" ”
"Not? Can you tell me where this rice comes from? ”
Xia Qiyue frowned, looking very embarrassed.
"It's okay, if the other party doesn't want people to know, I won't publicize it!" The shopkeeper was eager to know, so he hurriedly promised.
Xia Qiyue shook his head, "It's not that I don't want people to know, it's just that my sister is more introverted and doesn't want to have too much contact with people, and she doesn't want to go to places with a lot of people, so I don't know if I'm willing to sell rice to you!" ”
The shopkeeper was surprised, is it actually a woman who planted this rice?
But that's not the point: "Little girl, can I do it alone?" Don't bring anyone else, so you won't disturb your sister! ”
Xia Qiyue complained in her heart, don't you know where my house is when you go? People living in rented houses, refugees fleeing all the way, where do you get the rice to sell you?
So she changed her words, "My sister is happy and quiet, I don't want outsiders to go to her house, the shopkeeper really wants to tell me the price of the grain, I will go back and tell her, within three days, if you don't send it before dark in the evening, you are unwilling, if you are willing to sell it to the shopkeeper, I will let my sister send it to you!" However, my sister is always willing to go out when there are fewer people on the street, and the shopkeeper has to wait a little longer before closing! ”
naturally foreshadowed his other identity, Xia Qiyue was proud.
"Good, good! This is really good, girl, the high-grade polished rice in our shop is twelve copper plates a catty, your grain is better than the high-grade, I will receive fourteen silver, how about it? ”
Xia Qiyue shook his head, "Shopkeeper, you don't do business with me, I don't sell these in my hands, I can't eat enough, I can only convey for you, if my sister doesn't sell it, then I won't come in three days!" If you agree to sell it, she'll send the rice! ”
The shopkeeper smiled, glanced at Xia Qiyue's grain greedily, gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, I know, then pass the word to your sister, just say... Let's just say that I will collect her food for fifteen yuan a catty! I've been waiting in the store for the past three days, and it's closing late! Be sure to convey it! ”
Xia Qiyue showed some embarrassment, and the shopkeeper's big hand waved, "This grinding rice will be free for you!" No silver! ”
"Well, I'm going to get the word out."
