Chapter 146: Bazaar Buy, Buy, Buy
After selling the sausage, Shu Xin called Ji Hanhai, who had already parked the car, to come over and sell a few things such as pumpkin beans from military sisters-in-law.
Although Ji Hanhai is the son of the head of the group, he has been used to being wild outside since he was a child, and he never takes face and other things to heart, carrying a big green pumpkin on his left shoulder and a few strings of beans on his right shoulder, learning from his sister-in-law to shout hard in the crowd.
One is the daughter-in-law of the company commander, and the other is the youngest son of the regiment commander's family.
As soon as the two of them came out like this, the military wives were not restrained, and they all put the fruits and vegetables they brought on the stalls and sold them.
Ji Hanhai was finally able to make some contribution to the military region, jumping up and down in the crowd, saying for a while that the crabs that came from the sea were big and good, and at another time saying that the mangoes picked by the doll were ten percent ripe, and advertising the things sold at each stall.
When the military families from the surrounding islands came to join in the fun, the shouts of the bazaar came one after another, and the small military family bazaar became very lively for a while.
Shu Xin can be regarded as a successful retirement, and began to concentrate on buying, buying, buying.
There are many kinds of vegetables grown by the military wives, such as tomatoes, lettuce, beans, pumpkins, mushrooms, eggplants, etc., as well as some processed products such as tofu, soy milk, salted duck eggs, preserved eggs, sauerkraut and alkaline noodles that can be preserved, in addition, there are shrimps, crabs, shells and other seafood that are caught in the sea.
There are also some families who have a lot of food and bring rice, flour, red beans and mung beans to sell.
In addition to these, Shu Xin was also pleasantly surprised to find that there are wild lychees, bayberry and pineapples on other islands, all of which were just picked in the morning, very fresh, plus the jackfruit, mango and banana on their island, there are dozens of species, dazzling.
Comfortably looked at everything, didn't let go of every stall, filled the small backpack he brought, and asked Ji Hanhai to transport it to the car several times.
When he was about to leave, he found an old man who had set up a fish bucket at the outskirts of the market, and there were several fat black fish in it.
This old man is dressed as a fisherman, with a short-sleeved shirt, a big wide-brimmed hat, and a big fishing rod next to him.
The fish in his bucket are different from those "stupid fish" picked up by the sea, and they all swim vividly, and he remembers that he just bought a lot of sauerkraut, so he wants to buy one to make sauerkraut fish.
Unexpectedly, the old man smiled and waved his hand,
"I'm just watching this market for fun, and I'm here to play! No money! Take it all! ”
As he spoke, he was going to fish out the biggest one for Shu Xin.
"How?!"
Comfortably, there were some pumpkins and tomatoes in the small back basket next to the old man, which were probably used by other military wives to exchange for fish, and they hurriedly took out an iron box from their back basket and handed it over.
"I'll trade this for this! Do you think it will work? ”
"Is this the Dragon Boat Festival dim sum gift box that has been very popular recently? No, no, I have high blood lipids and can't eat so sweet. ”
The comfortable dim sum shop is very famous in the military area, many people want to buy it to taste, the price of the comfortable heart is 20% off for soldiers and military families, and the island is directly 6% off, a box of dim sum is less than 5 yuan, many people on the island have bought it and tasted it.
The old man's daughter-in-law also bought two boxes for the family to honor his old man, he tasted it, it was delicious, but it was too sweet.
He was accustomed to eating coarse grain chaff, but he was really not used to eating this fine sweet pastry.
Shu Xin smiled and opened the iron box.
"No, no, look at it! This is a sugar-free peach cake I made! It's not sweet, it's very soft! You'll be able to eat it! ”
These days, she stays at home, and when she is uncomfortable, she lies in bed to learn English, and when she is a little better, she goes to the stove room to tinker with the sugar-free peach cake that she promised to make for Yu Lao, and she makes it for several days before she finally makes a perfect match.
The old man's eyes lit up,
"Sugar-free peach crisp? I'll taste it! ”
A box of peach crisps was full, each slice was the size of a palm, and Shu Xin broke half of it and handed it to the old man.
"It's sweet, and the one on the right is salty, scallion-scented! You can taste it all! ”
The old man ate the sweet one first.
This peach crisp looks unremarkable, just like the one sold outside, but the entrance is soft and soft, and it melts away in the mouth without much chewing, and the faint sweet taste slowly spreads from the tip of the tongue to the mouth.
The corners of the old man's mouth rose slightly,
"Delicious, delicious! This sweetness...."
Shu Xin handed over the whole box of peach crisps,
"There's a little bit of Yuanzhen candy in it! The calories are 8% of ordinary sucrose, I only added one drop, and you can eat 20 slices a day without any problem! ”
The old man nodded again and again,
"Good, good! Girl, I see that you still have two boxes in your back basket, or give them to me, and I will catch seventeen or eighteen more fish and exchange them with you! ”
"I'm really sorry, I promised these two boxes to others..."
Yu Lao was going to come over today, she was going to let Mu Jianyun give it to Yu Lao, but she forgot about it when she changed the car just now, but she didn't expect to be remembered by the old man in front of her.
The old man tasted the fragrance of green onions again, ate it in his mouth and looked at the comfortable back basket.
Comfortably saw that the old man was aggrieved like a child, and his heart softened again,
"This thing has a limited shelf life, you have to eat this box for at least a week, so I'll make you another box next week!" Look at you next Saturday..."
"I'll be selling fish at the market next Saturday! We'll meet in the morning at the market! ”
As if he was afraid of remorse, the old man hurriedly stretched out his hand.
"It's a deal!"
Shu Xin stretched out his hand and shook hands with the old man,
"Good! Deal! ”
The old man got up and put everything away, and handed the whole fish bucket to the little girl.
"If you don't sell it, you won't sell it, the barrels will be given to you! I have to go home and let my wife taste this peach cake too! ”
The old man moved too fast, Shu Xin didn't have time to refuse, Ji Hanhai saw that his sister-in-law couldn't move, hurriedly took the fish bucket, and glanced at the old man who was no longer visible.
"Tsk, this old man is so old, how can he walk like a fly?"
"And sister-in-law, you're too good to strangers, aren't you? Such a character will definitely suffer! ”
Shu Xin smiled and didn't speak.
Before, he saw that the old man was standing or sitting, his back was straight, and his feet were kept together, he should be a militia or veteran who had been trained for a long time.
After shaking hands with the old man, she was more sure of her guess.
The old man is the same as Mu Jianyun, his index finger and tiger's mouth are not on the same horizontal line, and there is a layer of calluses in both places, and he looks like a person who uses weapons all year round.
Whether it is a militia or a veteran, they are all heroes who have worked hard for their current good life, and she respects them from the bottom of her heart, so she naturally wants to be kind to them.
