Chapter 56: Waist Basin
The next day, Chen Fan continued to go out to teach how to kill soft-shelled turtles.
Yesterday I went to team 5, today I went to team 4 and team 7, and tomorrow I went to team 8 and team 9, and the task was completed.
The work in the 4th team went very smoothly, and the team leader also sent a basket of things before leaving, which was similar to what the 5th team gave yesterday.
Rice, bacon, preserved fish, cotton, rapeseed oil, pickles, home-brewed soy sauce, home-brewed vinegar, chili sauce, kimchi.
There is nothing new at all, Chen Fan wonders if they are all colluding.
Even if you give one less jar of chili sauce and a few lotus roots, you can do it.
With so much oil, it's a pity not to fry a few plates of lotus root clips.
There are also fried radish balls, tofu balls, sesame balls, sweet potato chips, small crispy pork, small twist flowers, fried fish pieces, fried meatballs, fried egg rolls, fried spring rolls, and 、......
Oops, saliva is coming out.
No, in a few days, I have to find a way to change some flour and glutinous rice flour back, and I must copy the New Year's goods I ate when I was a child to satisfy my cravings.
After finishing his work, he left, and as he was in the 5th team yesterday, the captain of the 4th team also arranged for the militia squad leader to ride a mule to send him to the next station, the 7th team.
It's just that when they passed by the door of a family, Chen Fan saw an old man doing carpentry work, and there was a brand-new big wooden basin next to him, and he was immediately moved, and immediately asked the militia squad leader, "Squad leader, is that wooden basin for sale?" ”
The squad leader looked at him, then at the wooden basin, and asked with a smile, "Master Chen wants it?" ”
Chen Fan nodded vigorously, "Well, I want to." ”
Then he smiled awkwardly, "But I don't have any money, but I can exchange these things for it." ”
It means the stuff they just sent. If the deal is successful, it means that he will confiscate the supplies here and return with a large wooden basin.
But as long as you want to be able to take a bath, it's worth it!
I just don't know if it's enough, in his impression, the big wooden basin seems to be quite expensive.
As a result, when the squad leader heard this, he was immediately unhappy, "Look down on people, don't you?" You came all the way to work hard, and then pulled a wooden basin back, like words? ”
Then he turned over and dismounted, walked straight over, and shouted loudly, "Dad, Master Chen of the Mubasin family has taken a fancy to it, and I gave it away." ”
Well, this is hitting someone's muzzle.
The old man raised his head with a smile, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, "Okay, it's rare that Master Chen can take a fancy to my craftsmanship, it's an old man who can afford to give it away." ”
Then he put down the tools in his hand and straightened up, "I have a basket, a basket, and a wooden basin, and I'll get you a little bit too." ”
Chen Fan hurriedly dismounted, walked over to stop him, and said, "Don't don't, it's not easy for you to make this thing all the time, how can I ask for nothing?" So I take ......"
"Stop!"
Comrade squad leader shouted, glared at Chen Fan and said, "What, look down on people, don't you?" ”
Chen Fan waved his hand again and again, with a wry smile on his face, "Squad leader, how can I look down on people, it's just ......"
He now knows what it means to be a soldier in a show, and he can't explain it clearly, so why do he buy things and buy contradictions?
Fortunately, at this time, the team leader heard the movement and rushed over, "What's the matter?" ”
The squad leader pointed to the big wooden basin and said with a face full of grievances, "Master Chen took a fancy to this wooden basin, and I said to give it to him, and he still had to exchange those things." ”
When the team leader heard this, he was not happy, and said with a glare, "Master Chen, it's too much!" ”
Chen Fan had a bitter face, why did I go too far?
I just wanted a bathtub, but I didn't have the money, so I had to exchange my things for ...... Hey, do you blame me for giving them something in exchange?
So can I use what team 5 gave me to swap lanes?
The team leader sighed, "The team headquarters gave a guideline, and we will strictly abide by this standard." Having said that, there are no good things in our countryside that we can come up with, otherwise we would have to make up a return gift of twenty or thirty yuan anyway.
If you look at this wooden basin again, he can't spend a few dollars, that is, it costs a little wire, tung oil, the wood is a cedar tree grown in the village, find a certificate from the brigade department, deduct a few points, cut it and dry it can be used, and it is not worth much money at all.
Even when the market was not forbidden, this wooden basin was dragged to the market, and it was sold for two or three yuan at most, which was not worth a knife of meat.
You are going to exchange these things now, and I know that you can't bear to take these things, and you want to return them to us in a decent way. But we are not exhausted, we can do whatever we want, and the brigade headquarters sets a standard, so we follow that standard.
And the team headquarters also said that each team can add something worthless appropriately, and now I am in charge and add another wooden basin. ”
Then he raised his hand and pointed at Chen Fan, and said, "Don't bother with it, we will arrange for someone to drag you back with a board car." ”
Chen Fan opened his mouth wide and looked at the team leader blankly, did I mean that?
Do you know how much this big wooden basin will sell for in the future?
1200 yuan!
Seeing that he didn't speak, the team leader couldn't help but change his face, "What's the matter, you really look down on us?" ”
Chen Fan's mouth snapped shut, then nodded, and quickly shook his head, "I mean, we can't let our uncle suffer." ”
The team leader laughed, "You don't have to worry about this, his wooden basin is a requisition, I will naturally convert the work to him, and I won't let him suffer." ”
At this time, other members of the club also came over and persuaded one after another.
"Master Chen, you just keep it, what's the matter with a wooden basin?"
"I know Master Chen, you are kind, but we are not short of this thing, you can just take it."
Chen Fan looked at the sincere eyes of the villagers, and he suddenly thought of a joke in the future.
The poor relatives went to the house of the rich relatives as guests, and when they left, the rich relatives gave the poor relatives two old clothes. Then the rich relatives went to the poor relatives' houses as guests, and when they left, the poor relatives sent a lot of bacon, bacon, tufa, rapeseed oil, etc., which could not be bought, and they were afraid that people would not look down on them.
They are not rich relatives, and they are not poor relatives. It is undeniable that the peasant brothers must have times when they are tricky, but in the face of "their own people" in their eyes, they are more able to dig out their hearts and lungs!
Thinking of this, Chen Fan felt a warmth in his heart, and he arched his hand to the team leader and the surrounding villagers, "Then thank you, thank you." ”
The team leader slapped his thigh and said with a happy face, "Ouch, that's right." ”
Then he beckoned, "Three dogs, set up a donkey cart and help Master Chen send it back." ”
He pointed to the basket on the squad leader's horse, "Just pull these things back together, and save more on the road." ”
So, Chen Fan got another big wooden basin.
Looking at Chen Fan's distant back, the villagers were still whispering,
"What does Master Chen want a waist basin for?"
"Maybe it's used to kill soft-shelled turtles, he's a master, and if he kills a lot at a time, he has to use a waist basin to fill it."
"Possibly."
"It's definitely not a bath anyway."
"You foolish fool, which one bathes in a waist basin? When it's killing pigs, how much water does it cost?! ”
