Chapter 11 Meat Buns
The four guys were bowing their heads and being scolded right now.
The guys were aggrieved in their hearts, it wasn't that the storyteller was so good, as soon as they went in, they forgot what they were here for, and they ordered two plates of pastries for a hundred dollars......
That's half a month's wage! I didn't know what to think at the time, but I lit it as soon as my mind was hot.
"I've been going for so long, have you ever asked what the situation is?"
A clever fellow was the first to speak. "It's really not that we didn't come back on purpose, it's really that the storyteller is so good. The people in the inn were all there to listen to books. ”
These words not only did not discourage the shopkeeper, but aroused more anger in him.
……
On the other side, Xiayuan Village.
Ning Changrong took out four pears and two buns from the cloth bag he carried in his mother's room. "Mother, Xixi, one of you two pears, the buns are also divided, they are all mutton stuffed buns, and the pears were given to me by the innkeeper Lin. Meat buns bought on the road. ”
"I'll give the others two more pears later."
He can't eat and drink well over there, and let his mother and daughter eat bran at home. Ning Changrong will give them the best within his ability.
"Ah, there's actually a meat bun, that's great. Daddy, don't you eat it? "I haven't even seen any oiliness in the past two days, and Ning Qingxi has been hungry for meat for a long time.
"I've eaten, I'm now the God of Wealth in the inn, who will snub me?"
"That's good, one for you, one for me."
said that without waiting for Wang Xiujuan to make a move, she couldn't wait to take a big bite of the bun.
"Uh." It's so fat!
Ning Qingxi, who ate it, didn't vomit, and didn't vomit. In the end, he barely swallowed it wearing a pain mask.
This is meat! Even if it's not delicious, eating it can add a little nutrition!
Look at her daughter's expression. Ning Changrong was a little strange, "What's wrong?" "He usually buys vegetable buns, but he is reluctant to eat on the first day, and he wants to go to the inn to eat on the second day. Anyway, the inn has a meal, and he eats less in the morning.
Wang Xiujuan also tasted it, "The smell is a bit strong." "She's okay, and she's more receptive to the smell of mutton.
Ning Changrong scratched the back of his head, "Ah this, it is estimated that they are not very good at seasoning here, and they have not handled it well." ”
"Can you eat Sissy? If you can't eat it, forget it. ”
"It's okay Dad, I don't chew, just swallow it." This is what her father specially bought for her and her grandmother to eat, if she doesn't eat it, won't she live up to her father's heart?
Pinch your nose and swallow it all. Then you don't feel the taste.
Ning Changrong was a little annoyed, he wanted to replenish the oil and water for them, but he didn't expect it to become a burden on his daughter.
"When Dad earns the conscription money, he will make money to buy you a sheep to kill and eat, let's eat mutton hot pot!" Let's handle it ourselves. It's certainly not so heavy. ”
The Ning family was used to it, and every time Ning Changrong came back, the three of them would go to Wang Xiujuan's room and mutter.
Ning Changfu and Ning Changgui have some acidity. My mother regards my eldest brother as the pillar of the family, and I discuss everything with him.
It would be nice when they could be so valued by their mothers.
After the two people in the room finished eating the buns, they opened the window and ate the pear to disperse the taste, especially Ning Qingxi needed this fragrant sweet and crispy pear to help her suppress the smell in her mouth.
The conditions were limited, and I only bought two buns. They haven't separated yet, and they know that it's a bit bad to eat alone, although this is Ning Changrong's own money.
"Mother, this is my income today, a total of 747 Wen. It was inconvenient to bring it back on the road, so I exchanged it with the shopkeeper Lin for silver. ”
More than 700 coins is really a bit heavy, and when converted into silver, it is seven coins and 47 copper plates. It's much more convenient to hold, and you're not afraid of being targeted on the road.
Wang Xiujuan picked up a few broken silver grains on the table with a happy face, plus yesterday's one or two pieces of silver! In this way, it seems that five taels of silver is not so difficult.
It's still very promising to save in ten days!
Now Wang Xiujuan finally has the bottom in her heart.
A few people chatted a few more words, and Wang Xiujuan suddenly said:
"Evergreen, you go to the county tomorrow to inquire if there is Chinese cabbage in this place, Xixi said that it was called Siong in ancient times. There should be no in Xiayuan Village. ”
"Okay, I'll ask Shopkeeper Lin tomorrow, all the businessmen who come and see him are passing by, and the news must be better than ours."
……
Li Dafeng was eating pears with a few people in the Ning family in the kitchen, it was too sweet and juicy! Ning Changrong couldn't help but eat a piece.
The pears were cut into several pieces by her, one for each person.
They don't pay attention to the taboo of dividing pears. As long as you can eat it!
Ning Qingxi and Wang Xiujuan had eaten, so they didn't share it with them.
The Ning family didn't care if they ate it first. The pears were originally brought by Ning Changrong himself, isn't it normal for him to eat them for his daughter? Wang Xiujuan is their mother-in-law, they have no ability to do it themselves, they are filial to their mother-in-law, don't they let the eldest brother be filial?
"The pears that my eldest brother brought back are so sweet." Li Dafeng wiped his mouth unsatisfied.
"It's delicious, much better than the fruit on the mountain."
Li Dafeng glanced at Ning Changgui, "The fruit on the mountain is so sour that it can't be sold, can it still be compared to this pear?" It costs a lot of money! ”
……
"Mother, I'll go to the mountain to find out if there are any wild vegetables, there are more people digging these days, I have to look for more, otherwise I will have to dig into the mountain later." Li Dafeng quickly finished handling the housework and was about to go out with a small bamboo basket.
Ning Qingxi and the others have been in ancient times for several days, except for the day they first came, she and Wang Xiujuan have not been out yet.
"Milk, I want to go out and have a look, let's go digging wild vegetables with the third aunt, right?"
has nothing to do when she is idle, Wang Xiujuan also wants to go out to see the Xia Yuan Village in the memory of the original owner, "Okay, Dafeng, let's go together, you wait for me to get a bamboo basket." ”
"Okay, mother."
The three of them set off from home, and Wang Xiujuan and Li Dafeng both carried a small bamboo basket on their arms. Ning Qingxi's body is thin and small, she is nine years old, and she looks like she is barely seven years old, so Wang Xiujuan naturally won't let her take things. There is a big mountain at the entrance of their Xia Yuan Village, and the village basically relies on this mountain to dig wild vegetables for fruits and cut firewood.
The mountains are majestic and endless, and the people of the village do not dare to go deep. Wang Xiujuan can still distinguish this thing from wild vegetables. Ning Qingxi was blind.
Wang Xiujuan privately taught her what kind of wild vegetables she could eat.
After Li Dafeng heard this, he heartily took the samples he picked for Ning Qingxi, and took the initiative to take Wang Xiujuan's job and take her to recognize wild vegetables.
Teach Ning Qingxi how to identify several wild vegetables, let Ning Qingxi dig this piece of mother-in-law he found, and go to other places by himself.
Every day, the clear soup is thin and thin, and after digging for a while, Ning Qingxi will be bored.
Wang Xiujuan saw that she was tired, so she let Ning Qingxi rest on the side.
"Milk, I'd like to go and have a look." After sitting for a while, Ning Qingxi was a little idle.
This is a bit of a primeval forest, which is not a small attraction for her, who grew up in a reinforced concrete city.
The weather is nice today, go around and see if there is any fruit. After eating that pear yesterday, I hooked the gluttonous worms in Ning Qingxi's stomach.
Wang Xiujuan glanced around, there were women squatting in the distance digging wild vegetables, and Li Dafeng was hiding in front of her right and digging.
"Okay, I'll go with you, it just so happens that I don't have anything to dig here." After walking around the foot of the mountain for a long time, Ning Qingxi gave up.
