Chapter 62: Dry Land Years (8)(2/2)
The hawker's business was not very good. He only sold 1/3 of the candied haws in the morning and noon. Now he was probably tired, so he sat on the street to rest with a haystack in his arms.
Chen Huihong stepped forward and handed the copper plate to the vendor.
The vendor subconsciously caught it and didn't realize what Chen Huihong was going to do.
Chen Huihong took a piece of candied haws and walked away, leaving the vendor stunned. It took him a few seconds to react and murmured: "My candied haws is worth three copper coins."
Then there was a burst of ecstasy, and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Tanghulu, delicious and inexpensive candied haws, the crazy lady bought it with money!"
Chen Huihong had dried fruits in her left hand and candied haws in her right, and returned home with a full load.
By the time she walked back to the outer city, it was getting dark.
It is not that there are no beggars on the road. Passers-by saw her as a woman holding so many things in her hands and wanted to rob her and run away. As soon as she started, she was kicked to the ground by Chen Huihong. She lay on the ground and howled. Then she was yelled at by passers-by.
Shaking his head, he was definitely new to the discussion. He didn't even know that the crazy lady was stronger than an ordinary strong man.
When Chen Huihong returned home, Hui Niang was cooking sweet potatoes.
Seeing that Chen Huihong was back, Hui Niang went up to her in surprise. Chen Huihong stuffed the candied haws in her hands and said, "I won't eat the black noodle dumplings for a few days. Let's eat this first today."
Hui Niang took the candied haws, took a bite eagerly, and said with satisfaction: "It's sweet!"
"By the way, sister, this afternoon I heard that the grain store in the west will have a new batch of cornmeal arriving tomorrow, and the price should be cheaper. The day after tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, so I will buy cornmeal and some vegetables, fish and shrimp tomorrow, and I will give it to you in the evening
Steamed steamed buns and stir-fried side dishes."
"Do you have enough money?" Chen Huihong asked in her soul.
"That's enough. I got a new laundry job this afternoon, and I still have some money left. I can buy some fish and shrimps during the New Year, and I can also go to the meat shop to buy some meat on the Chinese New Year day." Huiniang said happily, "Use it."
According to my mother, this is definitely a good year."
Chen Huihong frowned: "Wash clothes in such a cold weather?"
Hui Niang shrank her hands that were covered with frostbite: "It's always been like this. When I wasn't fleeing the famine, I had to do laundry at home when it was cold. But at that time, I was doing laundry for the landlord's house.
Clothes, no wages.”
Since Hui Niang said that, Chen Huihong didn't say much: "It's up to you. Just make breakfast on Xiaonian's day. I remember you won't have lunch. Shopkeeper Lu of Tai Feng Building will send someone to bring a table in the evening. Then... I'll have your love."
Food to eat.”
"Wow." Hui Niang's face was full of admiration, "Sister, you are so awesome."
"It's nothing, exchange of equal value, everyone gets what they need." Chen Huihong opened the door and wanted to go into the house, took off her outer clothes, and went into the battle lightly to eat melon seeds.
As soon as she opened the door, Chen Huihong seemed to have remembered something, and asked with some confusion: "Do you really only like to eat...black noodle cake?"
That tone was completely like, are your tastes really that weird?
Hui Niang smiled sheepishly: "The black noodle dumplings are already very delicious. This kind of good food can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year at home."
"Sister, you paid for the rent. You paid for the cotton clothes and quilts. You don't usually eat at home. I eat and drink for free every day. It's good to be able to eat black-faced steamed buns.
