Chapter 211: Red Dates
"Brother, will you change the red dates in your basket?" Chu Molin looked around and found that this was an alley. He asked carefully, the man carrying the basket.
He didn't dare to say that he would sell it, otherwise it would be awful if he didn't sell it and waited for a while and shouted those people with armbands to come over.
"Switch, little brother, what do you want to change it?" The man nodded excitedly when he heard that he wanted the red dates in his basket.
He has been here for two days. The red dates are not easy to sell, and the things they have changed are not very good. Although there are also tickets, they are not much exchanged. He also wants to exchange a few baskets of red dates for the New Year and rice flour for making dumplings.
"What do you want to change to? I don't know if I have it on me. If you say it, I'll see if I can get it?" Chu Molin didn't carry too much, so he didn't dare to say anything. He could only let the man bid.
"Little brother, can you change the white flour? Or food coupons are fine." The man rubbed his hands with a little embarrassed. These things are not worthwhile, and he was really embarrassed to change the white flour from others.
But during the Chinese New Year, I didn’t even have enough fine grain to make dumplings. My mother didn’t have much time to eat white flour dumplings. There was no way, so she could only speak up with shamelessness.
"I have food coupons and meat coupons. Brother, how do you change this?" Chu Molin put the food coupons in his own pocket, and one meat coupon left, and the candy coupon given by the woman who bought his meat just now.
"Little brother, look at my backpack with twenty kilograms of red dates. Look at me, give me some food coupons and meat coupons. I want to make a big meat dumpling for my mother." As he looked at me, he looked embarrassed and blushed, but his face was dark and he could not see any signs of blushing.
Chu Molin also realized that this man was honest and must have been the reason for this. So Chu Molin took out the remaining pound of meat slices, two pounds of food coupons, and gave a pound of candy and a dollar. He also handed his empty basket to the man.
Although the red dates on this basket of red dates are not worth so much, Chu Molin did not hesitate and carried the basket and left.
The man saw the money and tickets in his hand clearly, and immediately wanted to catch up and return the money to others, but the person was gone. He stood there and was moved for a long time before he wiped the medicine, tears flowed out of his eyes, and left the alley.
I was still muttering, and I met a good person and kept saying thank you.
Chu Molin took those pastries and a basket of red dates on his back and got on the train. After taking these red dates back, Aunt Li could help them make some red date cakes. This thing is easier to store and nutritious, so it is just right for the old men and ladies in the cowshed to eat.
You can also give some to Mr. Lu and some to your father on the farm to try.
Chu Molin, as soon as he got off the train, he saw two people standing out in the crowd. Lu Nanyi and Lu Zihao stood tall and tall, and could see it at a glance.
"How is it? Is things going well?" Lu Nanyi asked impatiently when he saw her.
"It's okay. He was in a good mood there. After he got on the bus, I called Brother Qiao and told him about his situation. Brother Qiao said he would come to pick him up." Chu Molin said as he walked outside the station. There were too many people here, and they were a little squeezed. Fortunately, they were tall, long legs, and the steps they took were bigger than others, so they soon left the station.
"That's good. As long as they can turn people's food relationships around, the old man said, find them with them and ask Grandpa Qiao to go back to the soap factory to be a guard." Lu Nanyi nodded, and then took the snacks she carried in her hand and walked home: "Go back to my house first, grandma has cooked you, and after dinner, we will go back to the village."
"No, I just ate it when I came back. I'm not hungry yet. But if I want to go to your house first, I really bought pastries for my grandparents, and I thought about going to see my dad, giving him some pastries and some red dates." Chu Molin waved his hand. He had eaten a little bit, but he wasn't hungry yet.
Lu Nanyi didn't, so he went straight to lift his back basket and left on the trailer. Lu Zihao rode a bicycle to carry him back.
The legs are too long, and it is a bit embarrassing to sit in the back seat without any ground.
"Xiao Linzi is back, come into the house quickly, grandma has left you food." Grandma Qiao came over and opened the door as soon as she heard the sound of the bicycle. She immediately greeted them when she saw them coming back.
"No need, grandma, I only had a meal when I got on the train. I'm not hungry yet. You bring a basket out and I've got some red dates for you. I want to go to the farm to see my dad later." Chu Molin quickly lifted the basket and exposed the whole basket of red dates inside.
There are indeed a lot of dried red dates worth twenty kilograms, and this kind of big basket is full of baskets.
"Why did you change so many red dates?" Grandma Lu took a basket of steamed buns from the kitchen and came out.
Chu Molin was also a honest person and filled the small basket directly. Grandma Lu kept saying that there were too many, too many, and she couldn't finish it. Chu Molin didn't care and just filled it up.
Dried red dates are lighter. Although they look a lot, in fact, even if the small basket is full, it will only be two pounds at most.
After Grandma Lu took the red dates into the kitchen, she took out a large bamboo tube. This was made by Grandpa Lu went up the mountain and made the bamboo. It can be used to fill rice and soup as a lunch box. It also contains a lot of it, which is enough for a person to eat.
Grandma Lu put all the food left for Chu Molin into this bamboo tube, took a cloth bag to pack red dates and pastries, and a smaller basket of backpacks. She put all these things into the basket and handed them to Chu Molin.
After Chu Molin took the basket, Lu Nanyi also came out with him and rode his bicycle to the farm with her.
Lu Nanyi is quite familiar, and he knows the manager on the farm. He can also handle some things with him.
"Uncle Chen, I'm here again." As soon as Lu Nanyi arrived at the farm, he saw a familiar person and immediately pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and took out a piece of cigarette on the ground.
"Why are you here again? Go in! Just don't disturb people's work." Manager Chen also knew what he was doing, so he didn't make things difficult for him. After taking the cigarette, he waved his hand and let them in.
Lu Nanyi threw down his bicycle and pulled Chu Molin into it.
"I always make you spend money."
