Chapter 106 Uneasy
When Mr. Chen thought about it, he no longer refused.
Xiaoxi continued to stuff it into Mr. Chen's hand and signaled him to put it away, "You can eat these first, and then ask me if you want them after you finish eating."
This time, she has a lot of stocks. "Like jujube cakes, if you want to eat them, ask me if you want them."
"Well, I know." He wouldn't be polite to his granddaughter. When he was fine with herding cattle, he liked to eat some fried peanuts and other snacks to polish his time.
He brought two chestnut cakes back to the house and handed them to Grandma Chen. When Chen Yubin saw this, he pouted and looked at Xiaoxi with an unhappy face.
He had just finished his homework and when the sun sets, he followed Grandma Chen back to the house to burn the fire.
He wasn't wandering around, so Xiaoxi forgot about him. He smiled apologetically, "Oh~ I forgot about you. Go and go out with me."
He pulled Chen Yubin out.
He picked up half a basket of salty chestnut cakes again and handed them to Chen Yubin.
"Ah~ I'll give this basket?" Chen Yubin said unhappily.
"These are for you first. After eating, you will ask me for it. Besides, this chestnut cake needs to be hot to taste good. You are always with me. If you want to eat, ask me for it. Do you want it when I eat? Do you want it to be by your side and watch it?"
He shook his head, thought about it, nodded again, took the basket and put it into his own space.
Because of the good meal at noon, Grandma Chen cooked a pot of green vegetable noodles at night. No one had any objections because everyone knew the situation at home.
One person scooped a bowl of noodles, and put a small bowl of pickled shredded radish, a small bowl of pickled cabbage, a small bowl of cold-smoked kimchi, and of course, there are also sauerkraut, an indispensable meal. The whole family sat around and ate with relish.
The preparation of pickled shredded radish and pickled shredded cabbage is very simple. They are cut into thin strips and dried for two days, leaving only a little moisture, add salt, pepper noodles, MSG, diced ginger and garlic and cooked chili, and then add some coriander, chopped green onion, garlic seedlings, etc. Stir well, put them in a plastic bag, store them in sealed, and can be stored for a long time.
After soaking the kimchi, pick it up, add MSG, diced ginger, garlic and cooked chili. You can also add some soy sauce and fill it in a plastic bottle. Just pour a little while eating it. It is very convenient and will store it for a long time.
These side dishes are easy to store and take a long time, so they are the guests at Xiaoxi’s dining table.
During the meal, Mr. Chen told Grandma Chen about the matter that he would take his two children to the county town tomorrow. Grandma Chen didn't say anything, so she nodded to show that she knew. Such things as buying New Year's goods were handed over to Mr. Chen.
Xiaoxi remembered that it seemed like it was a long time ago that the whole family went to the venue together, but let it go tomorrow. Grandma Chen would probably get in the way if she went there. She would have a chance in the future.
Because I had to get up early tomorrow, after a simple wash, the whole family rested early.
The next morning, before dawn, the third master got up at about six o'clock and put on his best clothes.
Mr. Chen got up early and cooked a pot of white porridge. He originally wanted to cook noodles, which was convenient, but he thought that Xiaoxi would not eat noodles in the morning, so he would forget it.
Xiaoxi ate half a bowl of white porridge with side dishes in the morning. Because she was going to take a car later, she was sick, so she didn't dare to eat too much. If she vomited in the car, it would be embarrassing.
The three of them packed up, each carrying a carpet and went out.
A large bowl of white porridge was left in the pot and simmered in hot water. Grandma Chen will still be hot when she wakes up later, so she doesn't have to heat up any more.
I walked to the brigade and did not rent a motorcycle. I continued to walk forward. When I arrived at the township, I waited for the bus coming from Longyan, and the three of them got on the bus and headed to the county town.
The route was discussed with Mr. Chen the day before.
Thinking that they had been carrying carved treasures, they didn’t plan to rent motorcycles in the brigade, which was inconvenient.
Going to the county town does not necessarily mean you have to travel to the countryside.
On the halfway from the brigade to the township, you can follow the small path on the hillside to the place where they must pass to the county town - Wangjiahe.
Most people nowadays are still very economical, so they basically get up early and don’t go to the countryside to take the bus. They only spend half of the money when they take the bus by walking to Wangjiahe.
Moreover, the time spent on the small road is similar to the time spent on the village and then taking a bus to Wangjiahe.
Therefore, when you go to the county town, you basically walk to Wangjiahe and then take a bus. After rushing to the market, take a bus to Wangjiahe and then climb the mountain and walk back.
When I saw that the car was basically a farmhouse that was going to the market, because everyone either had a backdrop or a basket in their arms. There were things in the aisle, so that there was nowhere to put them on their feet.
Mr. Chen was forced to squeeze in with his two children. He didn't want to wait any longer, and the cars behind him would only get more and more crowded. It's still good now.
"Push a little longer, I have two kids here, squeeze and squeeze." Mr. Chen pulled one with one hand and shouted loudly while squeezing backwards. In addition to the back of the silhouette, the aisle was also full of people, which was very crowded.
There was no spare space in the car to place their backs, and the three of them could only carry them on their backs. But there were too many people in the car. As soon as they turned and braked, Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin were still too young to stand, so they had to hold on to Mr. Chen's sleeves.
But Xiaoxi still leaned forward accidentally and didn't stop the car. If Mr. Chen hadn't reacted quickly and grabbed her, she would have almost hit the back of the man in front of her. After Xiaoxi was frightened, she still touched her cheeks with lingering fear, and almost disfigured again.
The road was bumpy and almost spit out the stream. I came out of the bus station and gasped for a long time before I recovered.
"Xiaoxi, what are you asking us to carry a stool?"
Yesterday, Xiaoxi told him that he would have to recite a poem today.
There were too many twists and turns, so the car was very bumpy. Some young people saw him carrying a big backpack and kindly wanted to help him carry it for a while, or squeeze him out a seat to put it on.
He waved his hands and refused all the way, and he held the rope tightly, and didn't dare to take it. Because he was carrying an empty backdrop.
The young people who had been rejected by him all said intimately, "The old man is really strong" and "I should be strong."
Now the nervous heart has finally been put back to its original position.
Xiaoxi smiled sly, raised his eyebrows, and said playfully: "Grandpa, do you want to make some money while the Chinese New Year?" He also reached his right hand in front of Mr. Chen, rubbing his thumb and index finger against each other.
Mr. Chen had never seen this wealth-loving face, so he was a little surprised. Chen Yubin had seen it many times, not surprised at all. Instead, he asked happily: "Really, how to make money?"
Xiaoxi held the rope and pulled the back behind him forward.
"This?" Chen Yubin pointed to the back of the wall in front of him and asked in a strange voice. "Is it a back of the wall?" He clenched his head in confusion.
But this backdrop is old, how can I sell it for money? Even if it is new, it cannot be sold for money.
"Of course not..." Xiaoxi kept his back, covered his mouth and whispered: "Have you forgotten my space?"
"Yes!" Chen Yubin slapped his hands in surprise and shouted, scaring Mr. Chen.
He had already reacted, but he just kept silent, just looked at Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin, and listened silently.
"Why are you doing a low voice? You're fussing." Old Master Chen frowned and couldn't help but scold him.
Chen Yubin covered his mouth awkwardly and carefully glanced at Mr. Chen.
Xiaoxi looked around and pulled Mr. Chen and Chen Yubin backwards. He said with a tight voice: "Master, there are a lot of fruits in my space. I'm going to sell some while everyone is preparing New Year's goods today. There are many rich people in the county, so it will definitely be easy to sell."
Mr. Chen thought, it was too early today. If they want to sell, they can sell some of it. If they can't sell it, they won't waste it.
Chen Yubin looked at Mr. Chen with anticipation. Last year, he was envious of him for a long time when he saw Chen's father and mother set up a stall. This time it was finally his turn, so how could it not make people excited?
"Then Xiaoxi, what are you going to sell?" Although his granddaughter had an idea, Mr. Chen still asked in peace.
This means that he agreed. Although she was planning to set up a stall whether Mr. Chen agreed or not, but now Mr. Chen agreed, it saved her some trouble.
"Master, I decided on this before discussing it with you yesterday." He swallowed his saliva and said again: "I plan to sell grapes." After a moment, he looked at the two people in front of him.
Seeing that they didn't say much, they just looked at her seriously and listened to her.
Xiaoxi smiled with satisfaction, and it seemed that they were all relieved to her.
He put away the smile on his face and explained: "Why am I planning to sell grapes? Because although these grapes are stored by some people, their technology is not in place and the quantity is small. So there are few grapes in the world these two days, and the price is high."
"During the New Year, everyone eats greasy food, and the grapes are refreshing and relieved. Moreover, there are many rich people in the county town, and there are many people who want to buy grapes."
He suppressed his voice a little, "Master, Binbin, you know how delicious the grapes in my space are."
Chen Yubin was energetic, his eyebrows were erect, and he nodded, "Well, the grapes are delicious, and there must be many people buying them."
Mr. Chen also nodded. Although he didn't say anything, he could tell from his facial expression that he agreed with Chen Yubin's words.
After randomly looking around, Xiaoxi asked, "Master, where do you think we are going to set up stalls to sell grapes?" He seemed to have no idea about the county town, and he gave the full authority to Mr. Chen the matter of deciding the location of the stall.
"Then let's go first." The people came and said as they walked.
Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin didn't say much, and followed Mr. Chen and left.
Although Mr. Chen looked calm in front of Xiaoxi, as if he was not calculating, he still had a scale in his heart.
Although I haven't been to the county town for many years, the layout of the city has not changed. So Mr. Chen took them to his destination soon.
