020: Remembering the taste of the grandmother
The two chatted for a long time, and finally remembered what was going on.
"Eh, let's get away! I'm here today, and I'm still looking for you to buy faucets and shower heads! โ
Liu Lizhu was almost at the bottom of a cup of tea, so she got up and started looking for something to buy in the store.
"I knew you could still come all the way to see me?"
Li Yonghong pretended to complain, but every time an old acquaintance came to the store again, she would be extremely happy.
"It's mainly up to you to come here, and by the way, buy this thing. Hey, the quality of your things here is good, I'm greedy and lazy, I bought a faucet next door to my house last time, and it broke down all of a sudden, and I have to go to you here to replace it with a new one, so I can rest assured. โ
"Just coax me!"
Li Yonghong smiled and took out the best faucet in the store.
She had been to Liu Lizhu's house a few times, and she probably knew the model of the shower head, so she quickly found all of them, and took a plastic bag to pack it for her.
Liu Lizhu took the thing, paid the money happily, and couldn't help but sigh again.
"Really, the quality of the things in your store is good, who wouldn't know? Isn't this also for you to take care of business! โ
Speaking of business, Li Yonghong couldn't help but want to praise Qi Yueran again.
"Xiao Qi, you should know her, I have her recently, and the business in my store is better!"
"Really? I look at this girl and I want to ask her to help me fix the black and white TV that has been broken for a while. โ
Li Yonghong slapped her thigh, she, like Cheng Cheng, was also full of confidence in Qi Yueran's skills.
"Yes! Xiao Qi is deeply hidden, you just have to rest assured to give it to her, although there is no guarantee that it will be repaired, but her attitude and technology are definitely the best in our street! โ
It just so happened that Qi Yueran had also repaired Cheng Cheng's radio, and the two were in the final debugging stage.
Liu Lizhu also crossed her hands and watched them debugging from the side.
The indicator light on the top of the radio is on.
Qi Yueran randomly adjusted the channel, and the sound of festive music came from the radio.
This is only part of it, Qi Yueran opened the cover and took out the tape that Cheng Cheng brought himself.
I took a screwdriver and turned it around, and adjusted the position of the tape.
Put it back in and install it and switch modes.
More than ten seconds passed, and there was still no response.
Cheng Cheng was a little anxious, and even Li Yonghong sweated for her.
But Qi Yueran still had a calm face, patiently watching the tape turn, as if the person who was being watched by everyone was not her.
Finally, music came to the radio!
only heard Cheng Cheng's exclamation, and Li Yonghong also breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, they were too worried, and the silence in front was just reading the blank tape, and the machine had been completely repaired.
"Is this going to be fixed?"
Liu Lizhu looked at the three people who were smiling and asked.
"That's right! Qi Mei is really amazing, she just sent it over, and it will be repaired in a while! โ
Liu Lizhu was also impressed by her, and she was even more determined to bring her her color TV to try.
"Others offer me a minimum of 30 yuan for repair, if you can fix it in a short time, I will open you 50."
"Fifty!?"
Cheng Cheng, who watched the excitement, didn't leave, and exclaimed.
"Yes, fifty!"
Qi Yueran was stunned by this sky-high order, and she was stunned.
Look at Liu Lizhu, and look at Li Yonghong......
I didn't say anything for a while, and I didn't say yes or no.
"This kid is so happy and stupid, he forgot to speak, Aunt Li offered such a high price, you are about to agree, it just so happens that you have been working hard recently!"
"That's it...... I feel like the price is too high. โ
Qi Yueran said honestly.
When Liu Lizhu heard this, she couldn't help laughing.
Her own family runs an enamel factory, and she usually talks to people about business.
I've never heard of myself lowering my price!
Liu Lizhu liked her sincerity and said with a smile:
"Of course, this is a well-deserved thank you fee, because your craftsmanship is worth it, and I'm not stupid, kid."
Dozens of TVs of hundreds can be repaired and reused, otherwise they will be scrap metal.
Which is cost-effective, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
"You just promise her, she has a factory at home, and there is no shortage of these fifty yuan."
Li Yonghong was also amused by Qi Yueran's reaction and persuaded him.
"Okay!"
Qi Yueran finally agreed neatly.
I took out my notebook, carefully wrote down the list, and wrote down a time when it was expected to be repaired.
Seeing that they just talked about a fifty yuan bill, Cheng Cheng was stunned when he watched from the sidelines.
He felt that he had really picked up a big bargain, but he didn't expect Qi Yueran's craftsmanship to be so valuable!
With the help of the members of his bookstore to barter, he quickly repaired his favorite radio in the morning, and it was a huge profit.
Liu Lizhu stepped on the motorcycle, turned the handle to refuel and left, as for the TV, she found someone to run errands and pull the cart in the afternoon to send it.
Riding on the road, she still had a good eye on Yue Ran.
Such a good child, still running an individual, can only set up a stall at present......
It's a shame.
If you can recruit her to her own factory and arrange a good position, it will also be a good place!
But looking at her eyes, it is estimated that she will not be able to dry the boring assembly line.
Liu Lizhu has read countless people, so she can naturally see that Qi Yueran doesn't just want to open a stall that can make a living.
Maybe she's a business wizard!
ยท
A busy day.
Qi Yueran finally completed today's order before five o'clock, that is, before the pick-up time determined with the customers, and made up for the time gap in helping Cheng Cheng to repair it first in the morning.
As soon as she finished her order, she rushed to the kitchen and started cooking.
Seeing that she was working so hard, Li Yonghong had already cut and prepared the dishes in advance, which saved her a lot of effort.
Ye Huaping also happened to come to the store, and saw that Qi Yueran was still busy in the kitchen, so he registered and checked out the guest for her.
The two made an appointment yesterday to have dinner together at home tonight.
And Ye Huaping didn't come empty-handed this time, he brought some small kimchi, and also brought a small jar of chopped pepper radish skin mixed with a little minced bacon.
Qi Yueran came out of the kitchen sweating profusely and shouted:
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"
Ye Huaping has always been a fond of the scene, and seeing that this time it was Qi Yueran who was cooking by himself, he also quickly walked to the table, took a deep breath, and made an exaggerated expression of enjoyment.
"It's so fragrant, Yueyue's craftsmanship is so good!"
Li Yonghong also smiled and agreed:
"I made an appointment with you for dinner yesterday, and at the end of the day, everyone is busy today, and I rushed in to let you try her craftsmanship, you must like it!"
"Of course!"
Ye Huaping said proudly.
The food they cook with joy can't be unpalatable!
Ye Huaping helped to serve the rice, took an extra bowl, and took out the bacon with chopped pepper and radish skin that he had just brought.
Enthusiastically introduced to the other three people at the table:
"This is still the New Year's goods brought at the beginning of school, my mother made it herself, it is relatively dry, I received it very well, and everyone can eat it without spoiling!"
Ye Huaping doesn't eat red meat, and the only thing he can accept is completely lean bacon.
She has been keeping this canned vegetable as a baby, and now more than three months have passed, and there is still more than half a jar left.
Usually, when the living expenses can't keep up, I will take a lunch box to pack a little rice and take it back to the dormitory, mixing these two cans of vegetables to eat.
When Qi Yueran heard it, it was the bacon with chopped pepper and radish skin made by her grandmother, and her heart tightened.
The first one stretched out his chopsticks and tried it.
After taking a bite, the unique sauce aroma of chopped pepper blooms on the tip of the tongue.
The crisp radish skin crunched between the teeth.
Even the slightly dry but chewy, salty, and wet bacon is just the same familiar taste.
In my previous life, I was busy with work, and I could only see my grandmother once a year after work, and gradually I had less and less to say.
Later, I worked more overtime, and I didn't necessarily have time to go back after the Chinese New Year.
My grandfather was not in good health and often coughed, and my grandmother was in charge of the family's affairs, and she aged faster than ordinary people.
My uncle and mother also often came home to visit them.
I remember when I was young, every time I talked about my grandfather's body and the past, I always separated her.
Soon after, there was another sigh in the room.
There is an opportunity in this life, while her grandparents are young, she must be more filial and make up for the regrets of her previous life.
It had been a long, long time since she had tasted this familiar taste.
Today, my mother brought the food, and she only took a shallow taste and fell into the memory.
There were some things she had forgotten, but her sense of taste was still remembered for her.
This is the taste of childhood, the taste of family affection.
Qi Yueran couldn't control herself, and her tears flowed down, which was so inappropriate.
Ye Huaping was a little at a loss for a while, and in a panic he found his handkerchief, handed it to her to wipe his face, and asked anxiously:
"What's wrong, what's this, why did you cry all of a sudden?"
"It's okay!" Qi Yueran tried hard to contain her emotions and squeezed out a smile, "I just touched the chili pepper and accidentally rubbed my eyes with my hand, so it was spicy." โ
"Why are you so careless! I must be tired today, let me look at your eyes......"
Ye Huaping didn't put his mind at ease immediately, looked at her face carefully, and wiped it for her.
Qi Yueran held back the sentence in her heart for a long time, but she couldn't shout it.
ยท
The two took a walk after dinner.
Qi Yueran accompanied Ye Huaping on the campus of Shacheng University.
"Let's have a popsicle!"
Qi Yueran saw that the small shop in front of him was still open, and suddenly said.
"Okay!"
Ye Huaping felt that Qi Yueran was always a little sullen today, and she was not in a very good mood, so she quickly agreed.
Just as they were about to line up at the cashier, a boy suddenly appeared in front of Ye Huaping.
Ye Hua was angry, but he dared not speak out.
It's almost time for them......
Forget it, don't worry about it.
There is no need to be affected by such meaningless and bad mood trivialities today.
Qi Yueran came back to her senses, and what she saw was that Ye Huaping lowered his eyebrows and pretended not to see the boys cutting in line.
And the stout boy stood tall in front of their line.
It turned out that her mother when she was young was not as brave and invincible as Qi Yueran remembered.
She will also be afraid of those who seem stronger than her, and she will not dare to speak out if she suffers.
But Qi Yueran clearly remembered:
When I was a child, one day my mother worked overtime and my father was also on a business trip, so my mother picked me up from school very late.
On the side of a remote alley, I met an exhibitionist.
The exhibitionist had a fierce face, but a demented expression.
Typical stupid and bad!
Ye Huaping tightly protected Qi Yueran behind and accused loudly.
and raised his mobile phone to scold the pervert: [Hurry up, or we will call the police!] ใ
The exhibitionist saw that Ye Huaping was so fierce, and took out a lifeless posture, so frightened that his snot fell out.
But this exhibitionist is still not IQ enough, and he can't react for half a day.
Until his mother Ye Huaping picked up the stone on the side of the road and threw it at the man's feet......
The exhibitionist finally left, holding his head in one hand and his pants in the other, and muttering something in his mouth.
Seeing that the pervert finally walked away, Ye Huaping quickly squatted down, hugged Qi Yueran tightly, and touched her head and comforted:
[Okay, cubs, there are no bad guys, mom won't work overtime so late next time, she must come to pick up the cubs from school first......]
Looking back now, is it that at that time, my mother's voice comforting her was also crying and trembling?
