Chapter 248 Chapter 247 Date Palm

After handing the beetle to Qian Zhongping, Tang Zhitong chatted with her for a while, then said goodbye and went home.

When he arrived under the gate, Tang Zhitong took out some beetles from the space and put them into the bucket. There was more than half of the bucket.

Tang Zhitong did not take it directly to the main room this time. Instead, he hung the bucket on his bicycle and went in alone, urging Wang Jingwen to go out.

"Eucalyptus, bring these millets and vegetables over here. The vegetables were hit by hail yesterday, but they are still edible." Zhang Guifang took out the millet and vegetables that had been prepared and handed them to Tang Zhitong. There was not much millet, only five kilograms. look like.

"Okay. Mom, how much millet do we have?" Tang Zhitong took off half of his raincoat, slung his schoolbag over his shoulder, and then put on the raincoat so that the millet wouldn't get wet. The amount of millet he sent to Yue's house these few times was getting bigger and bigger. Come less and less.

"The ones you asked me to buy just a few years ago are not much left." Tang Zhitong worked as a temporary worker at the construction site for two months last year. When he came back, he asked Zhang Guifang to buy all his quota into millet. In the past six months, he has given it to the Yue family. , and it was given to relatives in the Northeast, and there was not much left.

"Okay. You don't have to worry about food. Our family can't afford it. When I went to my uncle's house last time, we talked about this. I can buy it there. I'll go there again in a while." Tang Zhitong said In a confident tone, he made a big deal.

"Is it really possible? Isn't it cheap?" Zhang Guifang asked suspiciously.

"I can't lie to anyone. You just have to be at ease." Tang Zhitong promised his mother, patting his chest. As for the money, he didn't even mention it. They don't want money, they only accept pornographic goods.

"You little bastard, why don't you lie to me anymore?" Zhang Guifang laughed and cursed, then stopped talking. It's good that her son is older, has his own ideas, and can resist things.

Zhang Guifang didn't ask any more questions, and Tang Zhitong didn't say any more.

Xiao Wang finished packing and came out of the wing, and Tang Zhitong followed him carrying vegetables.

"Brother Guzi, you caught this? Can you catch so many in one hour?" Wang Jingwen looked at the bucket under the gate and exclaimed in a low voice, her voice full of disbelief.

"I caught some and exchanged some with others." In order to be more reasonable, Tang Zhitong made up an excuse.

"What did you use to exchange it for? How could anyone be willing to exchange it for such a delicious thing?" Wang Jingwen asked as she put her bicycle away.

"In exchange for money, money is more popular than food." Tang Zhitong came forward and whispered in Wang Jingwen's ear.

"It's annoying, it's itchy~ I'll give you my salary next week." Xiao Wang blushed and pushed Tang Zhitong away.

"Thank you Lord for your kindness!" Tang Zhitong immediately walked down the slope, only to bend his knees and wave his horseshoe sleeves to classmate Xiao Wang in salute.

"Xiao Guzi, please get back on your feet." Classmate Xiao Wang cooperated. After saying this, he couldn't help but feel happy: "If you hate it, you will make mischief!"

"Let's go. If we don't hurry up, we won't be able to catch the beetle for lunch. It takes a lot of effort to pack it up." Tang Zhitong put the net bag for vegetables on the handlebar, one on each side of the bucket, aiming to keep it balanced and not too heavy.

The two of them arrived at Chunshu Hutong on a familiar road. As soon as they entered, Wang Jingmin bypassed Wang Jingwen and rushed toward Tang Zhitong.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, can you cook this time? What is this?" Wang Jingmin opened the straw curtain on the bucket with ease, and then let go in fear, uttering curses: "Fuck! Bugs! "

"Hey, a manly man is afraid of bugs?" Tang Zhitong teased without even taking off his raincoat.

"Who...who said that! I've never seen it before, I was just shocked!" Wang Jingmin always had a tough talk, and he backed away uncomfortably, squeezing his neck, and said.

"Hello, brother-in-law." It was raining, so Wang Jingying didn't go out. She came over to say hello to Tang Zhitong first, glanced at her brother, and said with disdain: "Coward!" "You are brave, you are brave, open it up and take a look!" Wang Jingmin was not afraid of the second sister at all. He retreated back and was ready to escape.

"Take off your raincoat and put on your shoes." In this moment, Wang Jingwen had already taken off his raincoat and hung it on the balcony, and found a pair of slippers for Tang Zhitong.

"Okay." Tang Zhitong took off his raincoat and handed it to Wang Jingwen. He sat on the horse and took off his rubber shoes and put on slippers. He didn't forget to poke Wang Jingmin: "Afraid of bugs, right? Don't eat it for a while. "

"I...I...who is afraid? I don't like eating bugs, but I believe my brother-in-law's cooking must be delicious, right?" Wang Jingmin asked tentatively after "I" for a long time.

"What do you think?" Tang Zhitong laughed and teased his brother-in-law.

"Brother-in-law, you have changed. You have imitated my sister!" Wang Jingmin replied angrily.

"Who are you talking about?? Who is bad?" Wang Jingwen grabbed her brother's ear and asked "friendly".

"Sister, let go! Let go! How can I have the guts to accuse you? It's the second sister who is bad." Wang Jingmin stood on tiptoes and begged for mercy.

Wang Jingying did not spare him after hearing this. She grabbed the other side and asked with a sneer: "Then you have the guts to accuse me? I didn't hear clearly. Who did you say was bad just now?"

"I'm bad, I'm bad, okay? It hurts, it hurts, let go." Wang Jingmin knew the current situation and gave up decisively in front of his two sisters.

"Eucalyptus, our brother's unit has imported some dates. Let us give you some advice. I bought some and you will take them back to your family to try." Ye Zhijuan ignored the three siblings who were fighting and dragged them out of the bedroom with difficulty. Get out a sack.

"Thank you, Mom, what date?" Tang Zhitong put on his slippers, stood up quickly, and took over to the door.

Tang Zhitong didn't see anyone else. He opened the sack in front of Ye Zhijuan and found something like candied dates, no smaller than the later Western Xinjiang jujubes. He immediately picked one up and put it in his mouth.

"Imported from Yilaq, I heard it's called dates." Ye Zhijuan introduced it to Tang Zhitong.

"Oh, it's so sweet and delicious." Tang Zhitong chewed it twice, his nose and eyes wrinkled, it's so sweet!

Yiraq dates, a high-energy food, actually don’t taste very good, but I didn’t expect it to enter the country so quickly.

"You must be in a hurry. It is a snack on weekdays. It is good to supplement the food." Ye Zhijuan is well aware of the taste of Yilaq dates. It is not as good as domestic candied dates, but it is cheap and has high energy. It is a good substitute. food.

"It's good. I didn't expect that I would also eat imported goods one day, hehe." Tang Zhitong started to prevaricate.

Tang Zhitong has heard of this kind of jujube before. It is affordable and will become the best quality food substitute in the next few years. However, the imported quantity is limited and not everyone can buy it. In the next few years, he was accused of "infecting hepatitis" and disappeared from people's sight.

"This is the first batch. It's a rare treat. They will be imported in large quantities in the future. Sooner or later there will be some on the market. I bought some. I won't send millet or anything like that here in the future." Yiraq dates are resistant to storage due to their high sugar content. Ye Zhijuan was there and knew more, so she bought two bags for emergencies.

"Mom, don't worry, our family will never be short of food no matter how short it is. I went to the Northeast a while ago and found a way to buy food." Tang Zhitong told Ye Zhijuan again the excuse he used to fool Zhang Guifang.

"Okay, tell me what you're missing, and I'll find a solution." Ye Zhijuan pondered for four or five seconds, and finally sighed and agreed.

"Okay, I won't be polite to you." Tang Zhitong agreed cheerfully, and then went to the kitchen to boil water and prepare to deal with the beetle.
