Chapter 20 Going to Town
The Cheng family made tofu for dinner that day.

Mrs. Zhao rarely added oil to stir-fry the vegetables, and pulled out two garlic and chili peppers and threw them into the pan for frying. The frying was fragrant, and when the wind blew, the aroma wafted out. Anyone who smelled it I know the Cheng family eats tofu.

It was the first time for Cheng Miaomiao to eat something so tender and smooth.

Her eyes were bright, and she held the bowl and looked at the tofu on the plate eagerly, but the old lady Zhao was very stingy, she only picked up two pieces, and she just stared at her, as if she wanted to hit her.

In the end, it was Cheng Erlang who met his mother's eyes and put a few extra pieces into her bowl.

Mrs. Zhao snorted heavily, and walked out with the bowl and chopsticks without saying a word.

Cheng Wulang asked: "Mother, why are you going?"

Granny Zhao: "It's hot inside, I'll go out to eat."

The others didn't care about it, and just ate the oily tofu, which is rare on the table.

Cheng Miaomiao just buried her head in eating, thinking that she must eat tofu to be happy in the future, and soon she burped a little, and when she looked up again, the plate of tofu on the table was gone.

At this time, Mrs. Zhao's triumphant voice sounded outside the door.

"Yes, I'm going to eat tofu today. This tofu is bought from the eggs my Zhuzi picked up on the mountain!"

"Hahahaha Zhuzi has always been so sensible."

"If you haven't seen that egg, even the county magistrate may not be able to eat such a good thing!"

Mrs. Zhao sat at the door and didn't eat much and just talked. She praised everyone who passed by, and praised the pillars so that everyone could look at the tofu in the bowl.

The villagers caught by her showing off had no choice but to nod.

In fact, on the way back, they had already met Cheng Miaomiao, who was eager to talk. She was small and cute, and the big guys were willing to listen to her talk. The key was that she spoke in great detail.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhao told this story again, and in her story, people became pillars.

The big guy knew it well, and returned home with a subtle smile.

Mrs. Zhao has been talking about this for two or three days.

After dinner, Mrs. Zhao called Zhuzi into the room alone, took out a piece of caramel from the box and gave him to eat, smiling kindly: "Zhuzi, grandma is relying on you to grow her face now. You go to the mountain to find it." You can take whatever you want home, you can pick up more eggs like this, you know?"

Zhu Zi threw the caramel into his mouth and began to lick and bite.

Hearing this, I was a little guilty, but I turned around and thought, anyway, in the future, I just need to grab the things like today and say that he found them.

If Da Ya and Mao Dan dare not give it, then beat them up!
Cheng Miaomiao didn't know what his plan was.

But after she suddenly knew that all the little money she earned would be given to Mrs. Zhao, she didn't want to go looking for things while the pillar was following her, and she didn't want to play with someone who would inform in private!

It's just that Qian Shi also yelled to go up the mountain with Ye Ning the next day.

The two first picked a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms, and then picked all the wild grapes found under the rock wall. Although they tasted a little sour, they could be eaten as snacks when dried. The two moved back and forth a few times Just moved them home.

Before the next day, Mrs. Qian did not go up the mountain because of back pain.

In the past two days, Cheng Erlang's bamboo baskets have also been dried. During dinner, he suggested that he could go to the town tomorrow. I picked a lot of wild vegetables and bath beads, and I have to take them to sell."

"You and Erlang also brought the eggs that the family has accumulated these days to the town."

Mrs. Zhao figured it out clearly.

The old hen at home lays three or four eggs every day, plus the wild eggs picked up that time, I have saved dozens of them, which can be sold for a lot of money.

Old man Cheng took a puff of the dry cigarette with shaking hands, and said, "Buy some more rice noodles for the family, and buy some salt, soy sauce, vinegar, etc., and cut a few catties of meat to bring back, more fat."

The Cheng family brothers' eyes lit up when they heard this. They haven't eaten meat for a long time.

Cheng Erlang said in a muffled voice, "Okay, I got it, Dad."

Mom and Dad are going to town?
Cheng Miaomiao stopped eating in an instant, raised her hand actively and said, "I'm going to town too!"

Mrs. Zhao spat: "What are you going to do, little girl?"

Cheng Miaomiao raised her face and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm going to sell things for Dad, and the wild mint and chrysanthemums that even Dr. Zeng took are sure to be wanted, we can sell them together, and then use the money to buy tofu! "

The big girls' eyes lit up instantly.

It has been a long time since they went to the town last time, and the weather will turn cold soon after the autumn harvest, so there is no chance to go to the town, and it is very likely that they will only have the chance to go this time.

Hearing that he could go to the town, Zhu Zi also yelled: "I don't care if I want to go!"

Cheng Miaomiao looked at A Niang expectantly, her eyes full of pleading.

Ye Ning sighed in his heart and said: "Mom, when I go to the town tomorrow, no one will take the children up the mountain, so let them go to the town with me and Erlang, so that I can watch it."

"Yes, mother, younger siblings may not be able to see so many children by themselves, so let me go together."

Qian Shi immediately jumped out and said.

If she didn't go, wouldn't it be up to the two of them to decide how much to sell at that time, that would not work!

Seeing this, Sanlang's daughter-in-law, Meng Shi, also hurriedly said: "I know my son-in-law is very noisy, or I will also take the children to watch them, so as to save the second sister-in-law from being too busy."

Little Zhou opened her mouth, but she still didn't say the last word.

Mrs. Zhao's eyes suddenly narrowed, and her white eyes looked extremely fierce, and she spat: "I see that all of you are wild-minded. What are you going to do? If you go to work at home, who will do it!"

Cheng Dalang and Sanlang hurriedly stopped their daughter-in-law.

Old man Cheng glanced at them, obviously worried about what happened last time, pointed at Qian with his cigarette stick, and said, "You can go if you want, Dalang's daughter-in-law, and you should follow along. Watch more."

The matter was settled.

That night Cheng Miaomiao was almost so happy that she couldn't fall asleep, she asked over and over again what the town looked like, and finally fell asleep after being exhausted.

The next day, she was called up before dawn.

It takes less than half an hour to walk from the village to the town. In the past, they would take the bullock carts of the same villagers to the town, but there are so many people going home here, and there are still a few children, so they have to walk. up.

Cheng Miaomiao didn't feel too tired, she was used to walking up the mountain these days.

When he arrived in the town, Cheng Erlang found a place with ease, and Ye Ning helped him put out all the bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets, and then took out the cloth bag containing the tassels.

"I'll take Miaomiao to the cloth shop to sell the tassels and then come back."

Cheng Miaomiao immediately patted her chest and assured her, "Don't worry, Father, I will definitely watch over Auntie so she doesn't get lost."

Cheng Erlang laughed suddenly, and patted her little head.

Qian Shi was not interested in this cloth shop, and only told Ye Ning to remember to come back quickly.

Her manual work is very bad, and she can't learn how to weave tassels by hand. If it weren't for this, she would have asked Ye Ning to teach her a long time ago, so how could she give up such a profitable business.

Before going out, my mother can tell her that I have to sell the eggs I picked up.
