Come on!Foodie!

Chapter 12 Going to the city really pays off

Zhu Hai originally wanted to bring Yang Xiaoyang into the city on the first trip to sell grain, but Comrade Xiaoyang weighed the pros and cons, and thought that the grain could only be sold out after scoring several times. .And now the winter vegetables and rations piled up all over the yard are not in order, so I finally decided to follow the last car.

The last trip was sorghum and potatoes. Zhu Hai didn't say much, but Yang Xiaoyang felt that there was not much at all. He was so tired that he yelled for the Wang family. "Brother Zhu, do you think this donkey is male or female?"

Zhu Hai smiled and swung his whip. The whip slapped crisply in the air, yelling that the donkey obeyed the order and immediately set off. "Mother. Why did you think of asking this?"

Yang Xiaoyang smiled and said: "I'm thinking, when this donkey will get a mule, let's buy it from Big Brother Wang and use it for ourselves."

Zhu Hai thought for a while, then nodded: "Let's say you are young and thoughtful. Er Bao won't bother with me. Every time I use his donkey cart, I have to bring a jar of liquor back to him Well. But you are right, when he gets a wife, we can’t go around like this all the time. Otherwise, we’ll go to the livestock market when we’re in the city, and we’ll buy one that suits us.”

Yang Xiaoyang quickly shook his head, although there are good animals to choose from in the animal market, the price will definitely not be cheap.How can it be more cost-effective than the domestic sales products produced by friends! "Why go to the livestock market? I still think it's better to wait for this donkey to give birth. We can take a few more rides before he gets married. Let him come to our house for a few more meals. .”

Rubbing the top of Yang Xiaoyang's head, Zhu Dazhuang had a teachable expression, and praised: "Yes! Xiaoyang is smart! I completely agree with what you said!"

Yang Xiaoyang leaned forward and gently stroked the ass of the donkey, mourning in his heart: "For me to embark on the road to a well-off life earlier, Da Hui, you have worked so hard! Although there is no pay, I will often send you fodder of!"

The first stop when entering the city is Wanji Shaoguo, the second restaurant at the gate of Xicheng.Zhu Hai said that most of the sorghum he harvests every year is sent to this Shaoguo. Boss Wan is a kind businessman and never deliberately lowers the price, so it is very pleasant to cooperate for so many years.And every time the wine I bring back to Wang Erbao is bought from Wanji Shaoguo, there is a [-]% discount!

In previous years, in addition to saving the sorghum seeds, Zhu Hai would also keep a hundred catties of sorghum rice as winter grain, but since he made sorghum rice once and found that Yang Xiaoyang didn't like it, this year he only kept the seeds.The remaining [-] catties of sorghum were exchanged for [-] catties of white rice in the grain store without telling Yang Xiaoyang.This made Yang Xiaoyang a little distressed.After all, the weight was reduced by half in one fell swoop, and there was some suspicion of wasting food anyway.

Seeing Yang Xiaoyang's heartbroken expression, Zhu Hai put the rice back into the donkey cart, and said, "Don't think about it, the money you make is just for spending. I also like rice, but I can't cook it every time." It’s a good thing, now that you know how to make it, I’m happy to eat it. Besides, I still need to buy rice for the Chinese New Year anyway, so I’d better change it to more.”

Yang Xiaoyang smiled embarrassingly, but he still couldn't bear it: "Brother Zhu, you always rely on me to take care of me like this, I don't know how to repay you."

Zhu Hai smiled and said: "Don't think about it. First, I will send these potatoes to the vermicelli workshop, and then send the donkey cart to Brother Niu. I will take you for a stroll around the city!"

After buying five catties of dry vermicelli and two catties of potato flour at the vermicelli workshop, Yang Xiaoyang couldn't help becoming interested in this handmade vermicelli.Each root is crystal clear but does not contain any preservative additives. Even if you chew it raw, you can taste a sweet taste.It seems that I can make some hot and sour noodles after I go back. The taste of this kind of noodles should be very good!

After storing the donkey cart at Niu Daqian's grocery store, the first thing Yang Xiaoyang wanted to buy was spices.But when he asked if there was a spice shop in Zhuhai County.Zhu Hai's answer made him roll his eyes.

"Why do you want to buy spice powder? Which girl in the village did you like? Why don't I know?" Hearing that Yang Xiaoyang wanted to buy spices, Zhu Dazhuang immediately became nervous.He didn't know why he was doing this, but he just thought that Yang Xiaoyang might have fallen in love with a girl who wanted to give something to others, and then he would get married and move out of his house in two years, so he was angry and angry. stuffy.

Seeing that Zhu Dazhuang's children's shoes had a slightly "stern face", the corners of Yang Xiaoyang's mouth twitched, and he answered patiently: "What! What kind of powder do I buy? I want to buy spices! It is the kind for cooking, and it can be eaten in vegetables like peppercorns. , dried spices!"

Zhu Dazhuang's children's shoes immediately extinguished the fire in his stomach, let go of the boredom in his forehead, and then smirked with a "hehe": "I got it wrong. You want to go to the dry goods store? The first one around the corner is the one."

There are quite a lot of things in the dry goods store.The most are all kinds of dried vegetables, and some dried fruits from southern China that are not produced locally.Common dried fruits such as dates, lotus seeds, walnuts, chestnuts, almonds, and sunflower seeds are also available.But the spices only see four kinds of star anise, pepper, sesame and cumin.In particular, peppercorns were placed on the top of the shelf, and it seemed that no one would buy them.Yang Xiaoyang wasn't very interested in those snacks, so since he knew they were on sale and he wanted to eat them, he wouldn't bother to buy them again.This time when I went to the city, I realized that the journey from Niuzhuang to the county seat was only about twenty miles away, and even if I walked for a day, I could go back and forth, not to mention there was the Wang family shouting donkey there!So he just bought half a catty of star anise, half a catty of peppercorns, a catty and a half of sesame seeds, four taels of cumin and a catty of dried bamboo shoots.

The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he saw that someone came to buy this prickly ash with a different taste.It is said that this thing looks similar to Zanthoxylum bungeanum, but the taste is much more positive than Zanthoxylum bungeanum. There are too few people who know the goods, and few people have Yang Xiaoyang's good eyesight.This kind of Zanthoxylum bungeanum is a unique commodity in the county and even the provincial capital. It was consigned by friends here. After passing this village, there is no such shop.Of course, Yang Xiaoyang knew that this was a polite way of boasting from the buyer and seller.He also knows that even in modern times, many people can't accept the taste of pepper, let alone those who don't know how to use ingredients.

When Yang Xiaoyang told the shopkeeper that he would buy it again in the future when the family ran out, the shopkeeper was even more cheerful.Said that it was rare to meet someone who knew the goods, so I told Xiaoyang that my friend had put something in there, and asked him if he wanted to take a look.Yang Xiaoyang is naturally willing to watch.As a result, the shopkeeper took out the things from the back room to have a look, and found that Comrade Xiao Yang's snot was almost beautiful.It was a cloth bag of cumin.And it's the best cumin! !

Yang Xiaoyang children's shoes have followed Master Li from the orphanage to buy vegetables in the market since he was a child, so he is quite good at bargaining.Although he was very happy to see Cumin, he was still extremely calm on the surface. "Oh, this stuff is okay. It's about the same as this cumin. What do you want to sell, shopkeeper?"

When the shopkeeper saw the half-grown guy across the way asking the price, he knew in his heart that there was something for him. "Anyway, it's still on hold. If you can use it, I'll make it cheaper for you. How about ten old coins and one tael? This is a rare item from outside the Western Regions!"

Ten Wen and one tael?Isn't that one catty worth 160 Wen?Yang Xiaoyang snorted coldly in his heart, a chicken only costs ten cents a piece, no matter how rare this thing is, it doesn't cost ten cents a tael!It's not faster to rob! "This thing doesn't take up much weight. Your bag is worth a pound, right? Well, I'll buy it all, and it will cost me five cents and one tael. How about it?"

Good guy!This kid looks young, but he is really ruthless when it comes to bargaining!The shopkeeper subconsciously turned his gaze to Zhu Dazhuang behind Yang Xiaoyang, seeing the honest face of that person, he might be a good talker. "That's because the difference is too much. If I sell it for five cents and one tael, how can I explain to my friends. Nine, how about nine?"

It's just that the shopkeeper misread Zhu Dazhuang's heart.First of all, Comrade Zhu Dazhuang believed Comrade Yang Xiaoyang's words very much. Xiaoyang said that five renminbi was worth five renminbi, not to mention that things were really expensive.Secondly, for things that can be negotiated at a lower price, he will never let go of any opportunity to save money! "Xiaoyang, why do you buy so much? Don't you buy four taels of the same size? I think it's fine. If you buy it home and get moldy, it won't be counted."

Yang Xiaoyang laughed wildly in his heart, Zhu Dazhuang's children's shoes are really on the road!The words are also very powerful!In order to perform this play well, he immediately made a hesitant look: "That's true. Otherwise, forget it."

Seeing something bad, the shopkeeper quickly stopped him: "Don't tell me! It's fate that you two fell in love with this thing, isn't it? Otherwise, I'll bite the bullet and make it cheaper. Qiwen, how about Qiwen? It really can't be less !"

Yang Xiaoyang had a troubled expression: "I can't refuse at all, even seven Wen, but I have to go around me for three taels of plum vegetables. Will it work?"

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart. The dried plum vegetables cost six yuan and one tael. Although it is not expensive, it is almost the same as five yuan!But then I thought about it, my friend just said to put it in the store to try to sell it, and didn't even think about asking for money.These five coins are also a dry profit, which is better than leaving them in a smelly place at home.After much deliberation, he finally nodded: "Okay! You are really good at bargaining! I have been in business for so many years, but I have never failed you in hard things!" As he spoke, he began to get busy calling Cumin, and reluctantly took Dried plum vegetables.

Leaving the dry goods store, Yang Xiaoyang couldn't help laughing when the two turned a corner.Zhu Hai was confused, and asked, "How did you become so happy? And what the hell is that? It smells weird."

Yang Xiaoyang was trembling with joy, clutching the bag of cumin tightly with one hand, and grabbing Zhu Dazhuang's sleeve with the other hand, saying: "This is a good thing! With it, I guarantee that you will fall in love with eating barbecue in the future Yes!" I don't know if this cumin has been processed, if you don't have it, you can try to grow it yourself, and the cumin is the same, he remembers seeing it twice in the field before, maybe it's not a problem in terms of climate.

Hearing that it was for barbecue, Zhu Dazhuang immediately remembered the barbecue a month ago: "Then why don't you make it for me when you go back?"

Yang Xiaoyang nodded: "Of course I will make it for you. The amount of this thing does not need to be too large. This bag is enough for us to eat for a long time. And I want to try to grow it at home. When it grows, it will be self-sufficient. "

Looking at Yang Xiaoyang, who has been calculating carefully and trying to save money from just now, Zhu Hai has the desire to pull him over and give him a good massage.How could there be such a painful baby! "As long as you like it, you can do whatever you want. Before we go back, let's go to the meat market to buy some meat, and I'll wait until we get back to eat! Let's go to the cloth store to buy two new clothes!"
