Chapter 27 Discovering Business Opportunities to Make Money and Harvesting Wheat(1/2)
The relationship between men has always been quite clumsy, and the turning point in getting to know each other is also very strange.
The four old men laughed and started chatting all over the place.
Si Chen's craftsmanship was pretty good. He made a big pot of Maoxuewang and prepared a plate of peanuts to drink.
There was a layer of fiery red oil floating in the hot pot, with some white sesame seeds sprinkled on top, and a circle of red pepper segments on the edge of the pot. It was so tempting to look at it!
With a chopstick, he stirred up the attractively colored pig blood and brought out the bean sprouts, bean skins, enoki mushrooms, ham sausage and green vegetables underneath.
Even the bean sprouts are dripping with red oil, which is extremely spicy, Siha~
The pig blood that melts in your mouth, the delicious side dishes, and the very rare white rice make the Zhao brothers sweat profusely and feel so good!
Qi Renshu and his wife received the rice by ticket.
For Yuanmeng County, which has no paddy fields, rice is still a rarity these days.
Just like this Mao Xue Wang, it is actually a Sichuan dish that usually uses duck blood, but also uses pig blood.
In Yuanmeng County today, almost no one knows how to cook Maoxuewang, even chefs in state-owned restaurants.
Last time Mrs. Si made Maoxuewang, it was actually Si Chen who was the main chef.
The geographical location of Yuanmeng County is a bit special. It is located at the junction of North China, Central China and Northwest China. It is considered to be in the north, but it is not typical enough.
Four men of different ages enjoyed the meal together.
After the meal, the Zhao brothers, with glowing faces, stood up to say goodbye:
"Brother Chen, we will go back first. The eldest nephew and eldest niece are having a full-moon banquet. We are going to have a banquet, burp!"
Zhao Yi also specifically explained:
"I went back to sharpen my sickle in the afternoon. The sky has cleared up. Starting tomorrow, all the young and old men in the village will have to harvest wheat."
Si Chen nodded and agreed: "No, during the five, yellow and six months, the dragon will snatch food from its mouth. That's all rations. It's better to hurry up early than to wait late."
"It's a June day, with a baby's face. I cry whenever I want, hiccup!" Although Zhao Cheng's face was stained by drinking, he had a good drinker and was still sober.
"That's alright, I won't keep you here anymore." Si Chen didn't show any concern.
"Stay, stay!" The Zhao cousins waved goodbye boldly.
Si Chen looked at their figures turning back three times, and something suddenly came to his mind:
Harvest the wheat~ No, the opportunity to make money is here again!
…
Over in Sijiacun, Mrs. Si led a group of women's troops back home in a mighty manner.
There are no diapers these days, so babies are kept in diapers.
I have poop, so all I can do is clean the diaper.
Even these diapers are cut from old sheets, but they need to be made into double layers using a sewing machine.
The diapers for the two children were made by Silige on her sewing machine all night after she was chased and beaten out by her mother in the early morning of that day.
Once it was ready, it was given to Si Chen along with other supplies in the morning.
Sili Ge is a kind-hearted person with a soft mouth. On the surface, he earns 2,580,000 yuan, but on the inside he is quite timid.
He often causes trouble with his words, but then spends money and effort to clean up the aftermath, which is thankless.
After cleaning up the children, Mrs. Si suddenly said: "Honghong, why did you cut your braids?"
Wan Hong unnaturally tucked a strand of hair hanging down on the side of her face behind her ears, sweating on her palms.
Si Letian was clever and intercepted the words: "Huh, my mother thinks the long braids are in the way."
As she spoke, she gave her mother a calm look and continued:
"Didn't we agree yesterday that the children should go home first? My mother cut off her long braids in order to do things neatly."
Mrs. Si looked at the mother and daughter calmly and asked:
"Don't Honghong cherish her long hair the most, but suddenly she's willing to give it up?"
"No, my mother was quite hesitant, so I decided to cut it for her!"
Si Letian pursed her lips and motioned to grandma to look at the corner:
"The braid is still there. Another day, the hairdresser will come and change the basin and pot."
Mrs. Si looked at Wan Hong's slightly red and swollen eyes, feeling confused, but she didn't ask any more questions.
Wan Hong breathed a sigh of relief quietly, picked up the child's diaper, and hurried out to wash it.
At this moment, Si Xiaoxiao rushed in furiously. Before anyone arrived, his voice came first:
"Letian! Letian, come out quickly. Let's go to Yang Ernuo's house to see the excitement. Aunt Huang is dancing there!"
Si Letian:┗|`o′|┛Ouch~~
Si Xiaoxiao, you are a pig teammate!
The door curtain opened, and Si Xiaoxiao, wearing yellow-soled red polka-dotted leggings, stepped in.
"Hey, Xiaoxiao is here." Mrs. Si greeted people with a smile: "Come in quickly."
"Hello grandma, hello second aunt." Si Xiaoxiao came over with a youthful look, curious:
"Ah, are these Brother Sichen's twins? They look..." A bit ugly!
"Looks like brother Si Chen, hehe!" After Si Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he didn't wait for anyone to answer and said to himself:
"Lotte, let's go quickly, let's go to the back and watch the excitement..."
"Si Xiaoxiao, look at your outfit, it looks like tomato and egg drop soup." Si Letian tried to change the subject with a venomous tongue:
"Paired with the white shirt on your upper body, you can even have white-flour steamed buns. It's the finale of the dinner, right?"
Yuanmeng County has a traditional banquet tradition. The last dish is basically tomato and egg drop soup, paired with steamed buns, the staple food.
"What's wrong with you! These are the new pants I just bought this morning." Si Xiaoxiao spun around in circles, showing off:
"I bought it from the women's clothing counter on the second floor of the department store. Your seventh aunt helped me select it."
Si Xueqin, who was on her third trip, came in with two 50-pound bags of flour on her shoulders and joked:
"Li Ge asked you to wear it, but you dare to wear it? Tomato and egg drop soup, give way to Sixth Aunt."
"Oh! Sixth Aunt!" Si Xiaoxiao was angry and anxious, acting coquettishly and stamping her feet:
"Grandma, look at them!"
Mrs. Si pretended to be angry and favored Si Xiaoxiao, saying:
"Xueqin, Lotte, how can you talk and laugh like this? It's obviously very good-looking, but this is scrambled eggs with tomatoes!"
The air was quiet for a second, then suddenly burst into laughter.
When Si Xiaoxiao heard this, he became even more helpless and stamped his feet repeatedly.
Mrs. Si quickly comforted her: "Good-looking, youthful and beautiful, with the style of a Hong Kong star!"
Si Xiaoxiao then burst into laughter.
"Hey, Xiaoxiao, in whose house does the Huang Shenpo you just mentioned dance?"
Si Letian's eyelids couldn't help but twitch!
"Who else could it be, Yang Ernuo!" Si Xiaoxiao curled his lips:
"Last night, the sheep Ernuo got into trouble and fell into the river in front of our door. My dad and many people worked hard to fish it out."
"What's going on?" Mrs. Si asked.
"Hum, I don't know. Although I watched the excitement, I didn't understand it very well." Si Xiaoxiao had a round dark face and frowned:
"Anyway, the sheep Ernuo can't speak and keeps crying." www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
"After I fished it out, I knelt on the ground facing your house and kept kowtowing."
"His mother was so frightened that she invited Aunt Huang to dance the whole night."
"Si Xiaoxiao! How do you talk?" Si Letian was unhappy:
"Yang Ernuo kowtows, how can you say it's against our family?"
Si Xiao smiled and choked, not knowing what to say.
Mrs. Si's face was a little solemn, she frowned, and a guess was vaguely formed in her heart.
However, she suppressed it and just treated it as gossip and said:
"Xiaoxiao, if you want to see the excitement, go and have a look. Letian has to take care of the baby."
"Ah? Okay then!" Although Si Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed, he still ran out to eat melon carelessly.
Mrs. Si sat down on the kang, crossed her legs, stared at Si Letian, and said:
"Tell me what's going on."
