Chapter 9 Alone in the county seat
CHAPTER IX
Following.
Meng Chuntao woke up with a sore body, her legs seemed to be filled with lead, and she didn't want to move at all.
I probably ran too much yesterday, and I haven't recovered my muscles after sleeping and resting all night.
Meng Chuntao has never walked so much, and it is almost forty miles back and forth from the county seat alone.
I walked too much, and my feet were blistered.
But last night she had already picked up the blister, and it didn't hurt too much after a night's rest.
Gritting his teeth, he did a lot of ideological construction for himself, and Meng Chuntao got up to freshen up.
As soon as I finished freshening up, I saw Meng Guoqiang wearing a straw hat and coming back with two buckets on his shoulders.
Meng Chuntao took a closer look, and there were fish in both buckets, almost twenty or so.
"You've got the fish back so early!"
Meng Chuntao looked surprised.
How early does this get up?
Meng Guoqiang slept much later than her last night, and he was able to get up early!
"yes, I went out to catch fish before dawn, thinking that I would catch the fish earlier, so that you don't have to make an extra trip."
Meng Guoqiang put down the fish bucket with a smile, washed his hands again, and said, "Breakfast is ready, let's go to the county after eating." ”
Yesterday made so much money in one day, Meng Guoqiang was excited and didn't sleep all night. Although the money is not in his hands, he also witnessed this moment.
Besides, yesterday was peaceful, and no one caught speculation and made him feel relieved, so he thought that he could sell more.
If Meng Chuntao hadn't said yesterday, don't catch so much, Meng Guoqiang would have been able to take all his buckets to catch fish.
If it's all sold, it's all money.
Now when Meng Guoqiang thinks of fish, he can't help but grin.
Breakfast was usually porridge with cakes, but unlike yesterday, the porridge was much thicker and the cakes were much bigger.
Meng Chuntao divided the cake in half as usual, quickly finished her share, and went to clean up.
Meng Guoqiang looked at the extra half of the cake in the bowl, the expression on his face softened a lot, and the three of them finished eating, turned around and walked to the yard to help.
"I've got enough to eat, don't give it to me next time." Meng Guoqiang carried the fish bucket onto the cart and continued, "Is it okay for you to go to the county alone today?" Otherwise, I'll go with you! ”
Meng Chuntao shook her head and said with a smile: "No, I can do it myself." If you accompany me, what will happen to the family field? After a while, you will have to double rob, you still have to be optimistic about the field. ”
Hearing this, Meng Guoqiang stopped speaking and frowned.
This is indeed a problem.
Meng Chuntao checked the things to bring, and after making sure that there was no problem, he grabbed the handle of the cart with both hands, gritted his teeth and walked forward, and the wheels of the cart began to move.
Meng Guoqiang helped to push out the yard and helped to push out the village.
If Meng Chuntao hadn't stopped him, it is estimated that Meng Guoqiang would have been able to help push all the way to the county seat.
"Can you really? Why don't I send you to the county seat and come back? Meng Guoqiang looked uneasy.
"No, no, the car is much lighter today than yesterday, I can do it!"
In order to show that Meng Chuntao could really push, she deliberately asked Meng Guoqiang to let go of his hand and pushed herself for a distance.
Meng Guoqiang saw that Meng Chuntao could push it, so he was willing to let Meng Chuntao push the cart alone, and he stood in place and watched for a long time before leaving.
Seeing that Meng Guoqiang was finally gone, Meng Chuntao breathed a sigh of relief, stopped the cart and sat on the side of the cart to rest.
After resting for a few minutes, Meng Chuntao continued to push the cart and hurried.
Meng Chuntao walked all the way and walked for more than 3 hours to reach the county seat.
Walking to the door of the family courtyard of the sock factory, Meng Chuntao saw at a glance that he had an extra competitor who sold fish.
Meng Chuntao had expected this for a long time, and she didn't have too many emotions.
Selling fish is not Meng Chuntao's unique right, she can sell it to others, and everyone can do business with their ability.
Meng Chuntao was still setting up a stall at yesterday's location, and as soon as she put her things away, she saw the aunt who had bought fish yesterday coming over.
"Little girl, I can't see that you are quite talented in cooking at a young age, and yesterday my family kept praising the delicious fish I cooked!" The aunt couldn't help but laugh.
"Auntie is the one who has a talent for cooking! It's not that I'm complimenting you, I'm just saying it once, you can make it delicious, isn't this talent? ”
The aunt was held by Meng Chuntao, her cheeks were red, and she laughed constantly.
She squatted down, looked at the wrapped melon seeds on the basket, and asked, "What is this?" I didn't see you sell it yesterday! ”
"Auntie, this is the freshly fried melon seeds last night, they are very fragrant, can you taste them?" After Meng Chuntao finished speaking, he opened a wrapped melon seed and poured it on the basket.
The aunt was not polite, and took a few and ate them.
"It tastes so good, it's fragrant and crispy, how can this be sold?" Auntie asked.
"A dime a tube, how many tubes do you want? I'll get it for you. ”
"Bring me two. Little girl, my surname is Ge, what do you call it? Where to stay? ”
Aunt Ge handed over the money, took the melon seeds and didn't leave, and began to inquire about Meng Chuntao's situation.
"Aunt Ge, my surname is Meng, and I live in Yanhe Village."
Meng Chuntao replied politely.
Aunt Ge has been Meng Chuntao's first customer for two consecutive days, and her attitude is naturally not bad.
After a while, I saw Aunt Ge waving behind Meng Chuntao.
Meng Chuntao turned her head and saw several women of the same age as Aunt Ge coming over.
They looked at the fish, then at the melon seeds, and finally set their eyes on the fish. They asked the price, and they wanted Meng Chuntao to be cheaper, and said that the fish bones were fleshy or something.
Meng Chuntao just smiled and said nothing.
"Comrade, when you buy fish from you, do you still teach people how to burn them like you did yesterday?"
Seeing that Meng Chuntao never spoke, one of them couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.
"Teach, you pick a fish first, each fish has a suitable cooking method, I will tell you."
After getting Meng Chuntao's affirmative answer, several people put their minds at ease and picked fish each.
After Meng Chuntao said that he had collected the money, he told them how to make fish.
Several aunts bought the fish, got the recipe and left happily.
Only Aunt Ge didn't leave, she looked at Meng Chuntao with a smile, and said, "Comrade Xiao Meng, do you have a partner, my mother's family has a nephew who is very good, tall and handsome......"
After talking for a while, Aunt Ge revealed her intentions.
She looked at Meng Chuntao and really felt that it was good to go anywhere.
Not to mention that she can do it, she can make money, she has a good personality, and the key is that there will be so many delicious foods, if anyone marries her, she will enjoy great blessings.
Aunt Ge thought that the fertilizer water would not flow into the fields of outsiders, and it would be best if she could book this girl!
"Aunt Ge, thank you for your kindness, I don't want to find a partner for the time being."
Meng Chuntao simply refused directly, in the current situation, she didn't have the heart to find a partner, she just wanted to make good money.
"Don't you really need to look at it? It doesn't matter if you succeed or not, you should make more friends. Aunt Ge still didn't give up on persuasion.
Meng Chuntao shook her head with a smile.
Seeing this, Aunt Ge sighed and said, "If you plan to deal with someone, tell me that my nephew is really good and can bring him to see each other." ”
Dropping this sentence, Aunt Ge left.
After a while, someone came to ask about fish, mainly about buying fish and sending recipes.
After getting affirmation, the man bought the fish, and before leaving, under the persuasion of Meng Chuntao, he bought two more tubes of melon seeds.
Probably because she became famous for selling fish yesterday, everyone who buys fish from her today will ask about the recipes.
With the blessing of the recipe, Meng Chuntao's more than 20 fish sold out quickly, and the melon seeds were also sold out by the way.
