"The mall counter is outdated and cleared, and there are 100 sets of branded sportswear, which is really good value for money. One hundred, one hundred, you can't buy a loss, you can't buy a fool. Walk by and don't miss out! ”

The siblings stopped and looked in the direction of the sound, where it was a clothing stall, dozens of sets of clothes were hung on a net on three sides, and a man raised a horn in his hand and shouted vigorously.

After some haggling, one person bought a set for eighty yuan.

At the high recommendation of the stall owner, I spent thirty per person and bought another one to wear inside.

At the stall selling shoes next to him, each person spent 100 yuan to buy a pair of sneakers, and the stall owner who sold shoes saw that the sisters and brothers had no socks, so they gave each of them a pair of socks.

When you put on sneakers, your feet are soft, the ground is not so awkward, and you walk like stepping on clouds.

After passing through the night market, the sisters and brothers had a lot of things in their baskets, such as roast duck for 15 yuan, roast chicken for 20 yuan, cans of honey for 50 yuan, and apples for 3 yuan a catty and 10 catties.

The apples were large and red, and they looked like the purple persimferals they had once eaten, but the fruit was larger, and the flesh was crispier and sweeter.

Seeing that there was a folding bath bucket for sale, the two stood by and watched for a while, and after learning how to use it, they also bought two of them, so that they could boil water and take a bath when they went home.

Someone was peeling chestnut balls on the side of the road, and there was a stall next to him, and there was a shouting voice from the loudspeaker above the stall: "Authentic sugar fried chestnuts, twenty-one catties!" ”

Lin Erhu asked, "Boss, what are you doing with the prick ball?" This thing hurts. ”

The boss laughed, "What else can you do?" Peel it off and sell it! This is all I harvested at the bottom of the mountain today, fresh, if you buy raw, I also have a shelling machine here, you can help peel the shell for free. ”

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu's eyes lit up when they heard this, "This can also be eaten?" ”

The boss was unhappy when he heard this, and looked at the two of them like fools, "Chestnuts don't know each other?" Haven't you ever eaten fried chestnuts with sugar? I think you're here to make trouble, aren't you? ”

Lin Xiaoman hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, there are so many mountains behind our house, we don't know if we can eat it." Boss, can you only fry this with sugar when you go back? ”

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, the boss's face softened a little, and he pointed to the sugar-fried chestnuts next to him, "If you buy a pound of sugar-fried chestnuts, I'll tell you." ”

Lin Xiaoman hurriedly took out twenty yuan and handed it over sincerely. The boss was a little embarrassed when he saw her happy, and waved his hand and said, "I just said it, as if I forced you to buy it, put the money away, and I will tell you how to eat." ”

When no one bought chestnuts next, the boss told the sisters and brothers how to eat chestnuts, fried and eaten, boiled and eaten, peeled and stewed chicken...... Hearing this, the sister and brother swallowed their saliva.

When the boss finished speaking, Lin Xiaoman asked the boss to weigh two catties of sugar and fried chestnuts.

This time, the boss didn't excuse himself, weighed two catties and put them in a paper bag and handed them over.

The sister and brother thanked them and walked back, pinching a sugar-fried chestnut, and taking a bite was really sweet and soft, and it was delicious.

When passing by the barbecued sausage stall, Lin Xiaoman gave Lin Erhu fifty yuan and asked him to buy grilled sausages and fish balls.

Maybe it was the first food they ate here, and the taste made them never forget.

When they got home, Lin Xiaoman cooked a pot of gruel, and the sisters and brothers sat at the table with a mouthful of porridge and a bite of meat, and then a fried chestnut with sugar.

"Sister, I didn't expect this chestnut to be so delicious, we have so many mountains back, and we are not afraid of hunger when we pick it back."

Lin Xiaoman didn't seem to hear it, and her face was written that she had something on her mind.

"Sister, this roast chicken is so fragrant, I haven't eaten it before, and the roast duck is delicious, let's buy it tomorrow."

Seeing that Lin Xiaoman still didn't respond, he reached out and pushed her, and Lin Xiaoman came back to his senses.

"Erhu, do you think we should go and tell the second grandfather about the things that the thorn ball can eat? When the time comes, everyone will share it, and you won't be afraid of going hungry. ”

Lin Erhu also agreed when he heard it, "I see that since Uncle Daqiang became the patriarch, the hair on the top of his head has become less and less, and my father said that it was all worrying." We told him about the stabbing ball, he didn't have to worry, and his hair could fall out a little less. ”

After the sister and brother agreed on their opinions, one of them took a handful of fried chestnuts with sugar in his pocket and went straight to the patriarch's house.

At this time, it was late, and it was dark all around, and the sisters and brothers walked one foot deeper and one foot shallow.

When he arrived at the patriarch's house, the lights had been turned off in the patriarch's house, and Lin Erhu shouted outside the courtyard: "Second grandfather, Uncle Daqiang, have you all slept?" ”

There was an answer in the house, and after a while, the doors of the two rooms in the main house were pushed open almost at the same time, and Lin Youwang and Lin Daqiang came out with a piece of clothing.

"It's Xiaoman and Erhu, come over so late, is your grandma a demon again? The second grandfather will take you out. ”

Lin Erhu smiled, "Thank you, second grandfather, this time it's not grandma's business." ”

"What's going on? Let's go, go into the house and say. ”

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu followed the two into the house, and the second grandmother also lit the oil lamp.

The people in the village are reluctant to light the lamp and boil the oil, so they usually sleep when it is dark, and the old man Lin's family only when the lobby brother comes back from the school, the oil in the house will be lit up all night.

But Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu both knew that their elder brother didn't light the lamp to read the sage book, and once heard the dog say that the men and women painted in the books his eldest brother read were not wearing clothes.

Lin Xiaoman wanted to wait for her and Erhu to save enough money, and also buy a house and land over there, so that they could light such a lamp at night.

The sister and brother took out chestnuts from their pockets and put them on the table, "Second grandfather, Uncle Daqiang, this is the thorn ball that I and Erhu found when we were picking mushrooms in the mountains today, and it is strange and delicious to fry it with sugar, you can taste it, can you eat it as food?" ”

Lin Daqiang's brows furrowed, "Nonsense, why do you dare to eat anything?" Not afraid of being poisoned? If you don't have enough food to eat, come and say, I can still make you hungry...... Oops, Dad, what did I say wrong, why are you beating me? ”

Lin Youwang retracted the slap that had just slapped Lin Daqiang on the back of the head, "How many families in the village can eat enough this year?" The two children are also kind-hearted, they can't all wait to starve to death like you, right? ”

Lin Daqiang didn't dare to disobey his father, so he could only shut up aggrievedly.

Lin Xiaoman explained, "Uncle Daqiang, this is really not poisonous, my mother made it for us when she was here, and I ate it when I was young." ”

After speaking, he crushed one and handed it to Lin Youwang.

Lin Youwang took it and ate it in his mouth without hesitation, and his eyes immediately lit up, "I didn't expect the thorn balls everywhere on the mountain to be so delicious?" This time we don't have to go hungry again. ”

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and at the end he slapped his son on the back of the head, "Daqiang, tomorrow morning, you will call everyone in the village over and go up the mountain to pick the thorn ball together." ”

Lin Daqiang heard Lin Xiaoman say that she had done it when her mother was there, and he no longer doubted it.

The whole village knows that Xiao Manniang's family runs a restaurant, has good cooking skills, and can cook more food than them in the countryside.

Seeing that his father had eaten it again, he also took one himself, and pinched it and ate it like Lin Xiaoman.

This time he is not calm, if this can be eaten, he is really not afraid of starvation this winter.
