The Little Days of the Great Landlord

Chapter 18 Going to the Market
"Oh! Please sit down, please sit down, we are all neighbors, you're welcome..." Yang Ming smiled and said, he really couldn't believe that this woman looked only 18 or 9 years old, but she was ten years old children?

"Big brothers sit down too, let's eat melon seeds. I just fried them today. Our family is just my wife and I. We have troubles in the future, so we need to help out." This young woman is the neighbor of Yang Ming's family. Liu Fen, Zheng Baoer came home with a few big peaches, so Liu Fen naturally wanted to ask where they came from. Hearing that her daughter said they were given by the aunt next door, Liu Fen came over with a dustpan of freshly fried melon seeds and peanuts to thank. Those big peaches add up to more than ten catties.

When Wei Qingqing, Sun Fangfang chatted with Liu Fen, they found that she was thirty years old, but she looked so young, so they were very interested, and they dragged her into the room to chat and discuss beauty secrets. Appearance is 'very' concerned.

"That's that, that's why neighbors need to help each other!" Yang Ming laughed.

"Hello, Uncle!" Zheng Baoer said timidly at this moment.

"Hello! It's Bao'er, right? It's so cute!" Yang Ming smiled and stretched out his hands to pinch the little girl's face, making the little girl hide in her mother's arms restrainedly.

"You guys chat, I'll go cook for you, Mrs. Liu and Bao'er will eat at home!" Seeing that the three women were chatting happily and it was getting late outside, Yang Ming said with a smile.

"Why is this so embarrassing? Let's go home and do it ourselves. You just moved here today, so you must be tired too." Aunt Liu said as she got up and wanted to leave.

"Oh, sister-in-law Liu, don't leave! I'll eat at home, and I want to discuss beauty care with you!" Wei Qingqing held sister-in-law Liu's hand, refusing to leave.

It was Sun Fangfang who directly turned on the TV and tuned a cartoon channel, and the little girl Zheng Baoer couldn't move her feet.

"Well, I'm really bothering you." Seeing that her daughter was completely sucked away by the cartoon, Mrs. Liu nodded helplessly, feeling guilty for her daughter welling up in her heart.

"I'll go and cook for you!" Since she was eating at someone's house, she couldn't eat plain rice, so she always wanted to help. Mrs. Liu rolled up her sleeves, revealing a white forearm.

"Today is our women's world. Let Yang Ming do it by himself. Let's go to the kang and continue talking." Wei Qingqing couldn't help but dragged Aunt Liu onto the kang.

Yang Ming shook his head with a wry smile. He understood Wei Qingqing quite well. Ever since Wei Qingqing's face got better, she cared most about beauty and beauty. Now there is a successful example of beauty beauty, Mrs. Liu, here. Of course she would ask for advice.

Since there are guests in the evening, the dinner is very rich, eight dishes, a pot of soup, and the staple food is white flour steamed buns steamed at noon. The northerners have always had a soft spot for white flour steamed buns.

Moving the Kang table to the Kang, Yang Ming brought the food into the room.

The first dish is scrambled eggs with tomatoes, sprinkled with a handful of coriander, and smelling it will make you appetite.

The second dish is patted cucumbers. After smashing the crisp and prickly cucumbers, cut them into sections with a knife, stir them with sesame sauce, pat a clove of garlic, and pour some vinegar. It is refreshing to eat.

The third dish is chili cabbage. Blanch the young leaves of cabbage with water and put them on a plate, then heat the oil in the pan, stir fry a few small peppers, fry them into chili oil, and then pour them on the cabbage while it is hot...

The fourth dish is Mushu meat. This is what Yang Ming learned from the school chef when he was in college. Pork, fungus, cucumber, eggs... served on a plate, it looks black, yellow, red and green, very annoying human appetite.

The fifth dish is a mixed fruit plate, which is simple to make. Peel and remove the cores of pears, apples, peaches, and apricots, put them on the edge of the plate, cut the watermelon in half, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon , placed in the center of the plate, the melons and cantaloupe were peeled, the seeds were thrown, and they were all cut into crescent shapes. On the top of the fruit plate were peeled and seeded grapes.

The sixth course is scrambled eggs with leeks...

The seventh dish is fried meat with celery...

The eighth dish is steamed potatoes. After the potatoes are steamed, peel off the skin to reveal the white, greasy and soft meat. Then cut them into small pieces with cotton thread, put them on a plate, and sprinkle them with sugar... Originally, Yang Ming planned to cook them. It’s made of shredded sweet potatoes, but I don’t have this skill, so I only made steamed potatoes mixed with sugar.

The soup is tomato and egg soup, which is full of a large pot, with green onion and coriander floating on it, which is appetizing.

A grate of steamed buns is not served on the table, except for putting a few on the table, and the rest are directly placed on the lying cabinet below, and anyone who eats it will take it.

Take out two more bottles of beer from the refrigerator, two cans of drinks, and dinner is ready.

The ingredients for dinner were common, but most of them were produced in the farm space. As soon as it was served on the table, there was an extremely attractive fragrance that diffused into the whole room.Regarding the things that grow in the farm space, Yang Ming really didn't hide his thoughts: I do have ghosts in my heart, but I will never let you see it from my face. If you cover up furtively, your anger will weaken first. , the gas is weak, and all the little ghosts are coming.

"Heh! Your food is really delicious!" Aunt Liu gently sniffed the aroma of the food, and praised sincerely.

"It's all ordinary food. I'm new here, and I haven't prepared anything good. I'm going to go to the market tomorrow to buy something. Can Auntie Liu help me to refer to it?" Yang Ming put the chopsticks on the table.

"There are three episodes tomorrow! What do you want to buy?" Aunt Liu asked.

"I'm going to buy a piece of tarpaulin. I plan to build a shed over the well in the backyard, so as not to keep messy things falling into the well." Yang Ming said.

"Not only to buy thatch, but we also have to raise chickens, ducks and geese..." Wei Qingqing interjected, and pulled Sister Liu up to the table, "Sister Liu, let's eat..."

"Wash your hands and wash your hands... I found out that you two have good things here. In the morning, there were peaches, and now there are so many..." Sun Fangfang reminded.

"You can eat what you have, why are you talking so much? Husband, go get us some water!" Wei Qingqing rolled her eyes at Sun Fangfang and instructed Yang Mingdao.

"Okay!" Yang Ming nodded, and went to the outhouse to bring in a basin of water.

Three women and a little girl washed their hands together, and then went to the table to eat.

"If you want to buy thatch or something, then go to the village, where the most that sells thatch, and it is easy to bargain. If you want to buy some chickens, ducks and geese, then go to Majiagou, where there is a livestock market, next to the livestock. In the city, there are chickens, ducks and geese that sell chickens, ducks and geese, all of which are hatched by the old hens that you raise, and Liujiatun is also good, but I heard that the chickens, ducks and geese sold there are all traffickers, and most of them will die when they buy them." Liu Aunt caught A piece of watermelon, while eating in small bites, said.

"Are chickens, ducks and geese hatched by old hens?" Sun Fangfang was a little surprised.

"Old hens with brooding nests hatch together, anyway, it's only a few days away, and the old hens don't come out of the nest until all the eggs are hatched," said Aunt Liu.

"Then go to Majiagou tomorrow..." Yang Ming said.

"Mom, tomorrow is Sunday, and I'm going to the market too..." Zheng Baoer whispered while picking up a piece of potato.

"If you don't go, what are you going to do? Do your homework at home!" Mrs. Liu gave her daughter a glare.

Zheng Baoer pursed her mouth and dared not speak.

"How do you plan to get there? Majiagou is in the valley, and the road is not easy to walk. If you drive, the car outside you can't get in. When the villagers go there to go to the market, they drive the donkey cart. ..." Mrs. Liu said.

"Husband, don't we have a donkey cart in our backyard? We can borrow a donkey from the folks..." Wei Qingqing had never ridden a donkey cart before, so she naturally found it new.

"It's useless to have a donkey cart. Will he drive the donkey cart? Then drive the donkey cart into the ditch..." Sun Fangfang said, holding a piece of spicy cabbage.

"You don't even need a donkey. The carriage in your backyard is a horse-drawn carriage. It was distributed from the landlord's family when the local tyrants were hunted down. Donkeys are small animals and cannot be brought along." Aunt Liu said.

"It's okay, I still have a walking tractor, the tractor will definitely be able to carry it." Yang Ming thought of the walking tractor he bought in the sales system.

"A walk-behind tractor? Where is it? Why didn't I see it?" Sun Fangfang wondered. When she moved, she kept staring at the side and didn't see any tractors at all.

"It's just under the back of the truck. It's so light that I can carry it by myself. You won't see it unless you get on the truck." After speaking, Yang Ming put down his chopsticks and walked out without much effort. He walked in with a walking tractor.This walking tractor has a total weight of only 100 kilograms, and the diameter of the wheels is only 30 centimeters, but the chassis is high and can be adjusted according to the specific terrain conditions. The total length is only 30 meters, and the engine looks only 20 centimeters in length and width , [-] cm high, delicate and compact.

"Really? But why haven't I seen this style? How powerful is it?" Sun Fangfang raised her eyebrows and said.

"8 horsepower, I heard it was imported from a foreign country, and I bought it just because I looked at it." Yang Ming pointed to the strange writing on the tractor body and said.

"Which country's characters are these? I've never seen them before..." Sun Fangfang frowned as she looked at these weird characters.

Wei Qingqing naturally knew the details, and said, "There are so many words in the world, how can you still know them all?"

"That's right, maybe it was made from some small country! Let's not discuss this when we eat and eat, or the food will be cold after a while..." Sun Fangfang said.

"Sister-in-law Liu, since Bao'er is willing to go, let her go with us tomorrow..." Wei Qingqing said.

Before Mrs. Liu could say anything, Sun Fangfang said, "Can we go together tomorrow? Yang Ming doesn't know where Majiagou is either? With Mrs. Liu leading the way, we are not afraid of getting lost."

"Yes, Mrs. Liu, let's go together tomorrow." Wei Qingqing also said.

Now that we've talked about this, Mrs. Liu can't refuse anymore, so she can only nod her head, but Xiao Bao'er is so happy that she doesn't even eat, and she just lies down in front of the TV, watching "Pleasant Goat" And Big Big Wolf"...

The sky is dark, like a pitch-black curtain, dotted with stars, and the moon is curved, like a silver hook, fishing in the endless sea of ​​stars.

The night in a mountain village is definitely not comparable to that in a big city. It is really dark, so dark that you can't see your fingers.

Yang Ming slept in the west room by himself, and the east room was occupied by Wei Qingqing, Sun Fangfang and Liu Fen's mother and daughter. Originally, Liu Fen's mother and daughter planned to go home after dinner, but Wei Qingqing refused to let her go. Liu Fen insisted on letting the mother and daughter sleep with them and whisper something at night, but Liu Fen refused and could only agree.

"How unlucky! Why is this kang so hot?" Yang Ming lay on the kang, tossing and turning. The kang was too hot. He cooked two meals a day, both of which were burned by the Westinghouse stove. The kang was scalding hot. of.

"Calling...Calling..."

The phone rang, and Yang Ming sat up from the kang suddenly. He picked up the phone and saw that it was Zhang Yingning's call. He hurried out of the house and went to the courtyard to answer it.

"Hello? Aunt Zhang?"

"It's Yang Ming, right? Brother, where are you?" Zhang Yingning's voice was a little anxious.

"I'm in the country! What do you want?"

"Do you still have sweet potatoes in your place? We have no use for the goods you bought last time..." Zhang Yingning said straight to the point.

"It's... useless?" Yang Ming clicked his tongue a little, "That's not the case..."

"What's so old and young? Tomatoes are fine. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are made into potato cakes and sweet potato cakes. They are eaten as a staple food! How long is it enough?"

"I don't have many sweet potatoes here. If I want more, it will take two days. But I have some other things here, do you want?"

"Also? Tell me what it is? Can you guarantee the quality?" Zhang Yingning became interested.

"They're all fruits and vegetables. There are dozens of them. I can't tell at the moment. If you want to see them, I'll send you an email. The quality is absolutely guaranteed." Yang Ming said.

"Did you pass the quality inspection?" Zhang Yingning asked.

"Do you still need a quality inspection?"

"Of course, that's an entrance thing."

"Tomatoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, you didn't check the quality inspection, did you?"

"That's because I did the quality inspection for you. Do you think I open a big hotel and dare to serve everything to customers?" Zhang Yingning rolled her eyes at the other end, this big brother is too naive.

"Cheng Chengcheng, Aunt Zhang, I'll send it to you after I do the quality inspection."

"Forget about the quality inspection, how many sweet potatoes do you have? Get me a few thousand catties for emergency..." Zhang Yingning did not forget the original intention of calling.

"OK, I'll send it to you now..."

"Is it troublesome? If it's troublesome, wait until tomorrow..."

"No trouble! Just wait a moment, it will be delivered to you almost before 12 o'clock tonight."

"Success, that's it, I'll wait for you at the hotel entrance."

The two hung up the phone, Yang Ming looked at the time, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, "Qingqing, Aunt Zhang called and asked for the goods, I will pick up the goods and deliver them to her, I will be back before dawn..."

"Go, be careful on the road..." Wei Qingqing's voice came from the east room.

Yang Ming opened the door, got into the truck, and drove the truck away from the small mountain village.

There is an expressway from Yungu County to City S, but the distance is quite far, 100 kilometers. From Huaishu Township where Zhengjia Village is located to City S, it is only 60 kilometers if you take a small road. Go to the county and take the expressway If so, the distance is far away, 120 kilometers. Generally, people take small roads to save fuel when going from Huaishu Township to S City, or from S City to Huaishu Township.

But what Yang Ming wanted today was speed. The highway was in good condition, and he could drive directly to City S, unlike the small roads with black lights. Therefore, he drove directly to the county seat, and drove towards City S along the highway. .

The Transformer brand transport vehicle can reach a maximum speed of 400 kilometers per hour. Of course, Yang Ming will not drive so fast, but a speed of 100 kilometers per hour is still possible.

When he arrived at Yingning Hotel, his trunk was filled with potatoes and sweet potatoes at some point.

"Big brother, you've come!" Waiting in front of the hotel was not only Zhang Yingning, but also the big bosses who signed the contract, all anxiously circling around the door.

"Aunt Zhang, what's the matter with you?" This battle was too big, and Yang Ming was flattered.

"Don't say anything, let's inspect the goods first! Brother, drive the car to the backyard..." Zhang Yingning didn't wait for Yang Ming to get out of the car, opened his car door and sat in the passenger seat.

"Auntie, is it so hot?" Yang Ming drove the truck towards the backyard of the hotel.

"It's not just a question of whether it's hot or not. According to customers' feedback, after eating the sweet potato pancakes you provided, they can throw Bolt away..."

"Bolt? The sprinter?" Yang Ming felt ashamed. He also ate sweet potatoes, but why didn't he feel anything?

"Really? Although it's a bit exaggerated, you're really full of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and you'll be sold out in two days..." Zhang Yingning said with a sigh.

"Stupid? Are there still people who are hungry in modern society?" If you can afford a hotel, you won't be able to live without food, right?
"Of course not, I feel, you know, it's the feeling of being full. It's like being hungry for ten days and a half months, and then let you eat whatever you want until you're full. That feeling... If you have never been hungry, you will definitely not experience it." Feeling that way..." Zhang Yingning explained.

"I didn't see it! Auntie's realm is quite high."

"of course……"

The car drove to the backyard of the hotel and stopped in front of the warehouse. After Yang Ming and Zhang Yingning got off the car, logistics personnel stepped forward to unload and weigh the goods.

The big bosses also stumbled over from the front yard and exchanged warm greetings with Yang Ming. After only a few days, they realized the importance of Yang Ming and admired Zhang Yingning's vision even more.

"Sweet potatoes and potatoes are both 5000 kilograms..." After a short time, the weight was weighed, and logistics personnel immediately came up to report the data.

"12 yuan a catty, a total of 20000 catties, a total of 24, big brother, let's go, transfer the money..." Zhang Yingning pulled Yang Ming to transfer the money.

"Aunt Zhang, I'm going to use money tomorrow! How about using cash..." To go to the market tomorrow, but those who need cash, the market does not provide bank card business.

"Success, whatever you say is what you say, anyway, 24 is not much..." Zhang Yingning said, since I don't want to transfer money, I will pay in cash. The lockbox delivered the money.

"Big brother, you order, sweet potatoes and potatoes, each of which is a thousand catties in our hotel, and they will share the rest." Zhang Yingning opened the lockbox, revealing stacks of red banknotes, and moved it to Yang Ming's ear. Side, whispered: "I have deducted the [-], and you have to be careful. Since our sweet potatoes became famous, other hotels in the city are so greedy that they are trying to find out about you. Be careful when you travel. Hold on."

"It's okay, I hid in a mountain corner, and they couldn't find it." Yang Ming counted the money, and the money was not bad at all, so he closed the lockbox and said, "That's right, Aunt Zhang, Uncle Zhang (Zhang Dapao) ), Sister Mei (Li Hongmei)...it's getting late, so I'll go back first..."

After Yang Ming greeted everyone, he got into the car and drove away.
