Return to the small mountain village in 1993

Chapter 9 I like spicy food!
"Collect it. As long as it is food from the mountains, we will collect it."

Boss Qin was generous.

"Okay, then next time I have good goods, I will come to you as soon as possible." Tian Hao said with a smile.

Qin Aiguo also smiled and said: "Okay! By the way, do you dare to catch snakes? I purchase a large number of various snakes here. The more poisonous snakes, the higher the purchase price."

Tian Hao was overjoyed and laughed and said: "Haha, to be honest with Boss Qin, I started catching snakes when I was ten years old. No matter how poisonous a snake is, if it encounters me, it will have no choice but to consider itself unlucky! Just yesterday, I caught one Bamboo leaves and green snakes.”

"What! Green Bamboo Leaf Snake? Can you catch the Green Bamboo Leaf Snake?"

Hearing this, Tan Aiguo suddenly became excited.

"Yes, but that thing is relatively rare, is good at hiding, and attacks very fast, so catching it is still full of danger." Tian Hao said truthfully.

"If you can be caught, how about I give you eight hundred yuan a piece?"

Qin Aiguo looked very anxious. After thinking for a while, he counted out eight hundred yuan from his wallet and said, "How about I give you the money first, and you can send it to me as soon as you catch it?"

Tian Hao blinked and did not accept the money. Instead, he asked with a smile: "Boss Qin, do you trust me so much? You don't even know my name or where I live. If I take the money and run away, I won't catch you." What to do with the green snake with bamboo leaves?”

"It doesn't matter, it's just 800 yuan."

Tan Aiguo looked carefree, "Besides, I believe in my vision. Brother, you are not that kind of person. A mere 800 yuan will not make you so mean."

After hearing this, Tian Hao stretched out his hand to take the money and said with a smile: "No wonder Gouzi always praises the boss for his magnanimity. He is a great person! When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation. My younger brother, Tian Hao, lives in Tianba Village. I will give it to him in ten days at most." You send me a green snake with bamboo leaves."

"Really? That's great! Brother Tian Hao, you haven't eaten yet, right? Why don't you have some at my restaurant?"

After hearing Tian Hao's words, Tan Aiguo became even more enthusiastic.

Tian Hao waved his hand, "No, I still have to go shopping, and then I have to drive more than 40 miles through the mountain road. I don't dare to delay."

"How about I find a car to take you off?" Tan Aiguo asked again.

Tian Hao was very moved, but in the end he refused, "Thank you, Boss Qin, for your kindness. Our Tianba Village is too poor and we haven't opened a road yet! Okay, Boss Qin, let's just say that. Brother, I will leave first. In a few days Come again."

After saying that, Tian Hao left with the basket.

Tan Aiguo also hurried back to the inner room of the restaurant, climbed up to the attic, stepped to the bed, and lifted a gauze scarf on the bedside table.

Under the gauze scarf is actually a telephone!

In this day and age, in small towns, the people who can afford a telephone are not ordinary people!
Tan Aiguo dialed a series of numbers with familiarity.

Not long after, the call was connected, and the sweet voice of a southern woman came, "Hello? Who is it?"

Hearing this voice, Tan Aiguo frowned and said in a cold voice: "I'm looking for Tan Aimin."

But the woman was very respectful, "Oh, it's brother, wait a moment. Aimin, brother's phone number."

A few minutes later, a man's voice came from the phone, "Hey, brother, are you looking for me?"

Tan Aiguo said eagerly: "Aimin, you told me last time that the gallbladder of a poisonous snake is needed to cure Junjun's disease?"

Qin Aimin paused, "Yes."

Tan Aiguo: "Have you found it now?"

Qin Aimin: "I found some, but the effect is not very satisfactory. Doctor Yang said it is best to use snake gallbladders such as green snakes and cobras, but I searched many places and couldn't find them. I found a lot of fake ones. Damn it. Yes, this world is so fucked up, even snake gallbladders are fake!"

Tan Aiguo smiled and said, "I found it! He will deliver it in a few days!"

Tan Aimin suddenly became excited, "Really? What kind of snake is it? Is it the bamboo-leaf green snake from our hometown?" Tan Aiguo: "Yes."

Qin Aimin paused, and then said, "I'll go back in two days. I want to see it for myself."

"Row."

Tan Aiguo then hung up the phone, expecting Tian Hao to catch a green snake.

Junjun is the only male among the descendants of their old Qin family!
Tian Hao left the Blind Man's Restaurant and went to the Miliang Store.

It has been more than ten years since it was re-opened. Since He County is located deep in the mountains, there has not been much change. The streets are old and simple. Many places are still very old bluestone roads. The houses are also wooden houses and stilted buildings.

The only change is that there are more self-employed people than before, and there are also more people setting up stalls during the market.

Today is not a market day, so the streets are deserted. There are only a few old men and women sitting in front of the house chatting, playing chess, collecting shoe soles...

There were several children rolling hoops and competing to ride an old bicycle.

This scene is really full of memories.

Tian Hao smiled slightly and walked slowly to the rice and grain store. The owner of the store was a woman who was embroidering a purse.

He County is a place where ethnic minorities live together, and multi-ethnic cultures are integrated with each other, and this female boss should be a Miao girl, wearing Miao costumes and embroidered with the purses that Miao girls often carry...

Scenes like this are rarely seen a few decades later. At that time, they were almost all Chinese, and I don’t know whether to be happy or worried.

"Boss boss, how do you sell this rice?" Tian Hao asked.

The female boss heard the sound and quickly raised her head. She was not too surprised to see Tian Hao, who was about 23 or [-] years old, wearing patched clothes and carrying a basket.

In these days and months, in the mountains, almost all people dress up in poverty like this.

"Look, what kind of rice do you want, indica rice, japonica rice, or glutinous rice? Each price is different? There are also corn noodles (corn powder), chili noodles (chili powder), flour, and potato powder. …”

The female boss has a clear voice and speaks quickly, and she enthusiastically promotes the products in the store.

Tian Hao had never cared about his family and didn't understand such trivial matters as firewood, rice, oil, and salt. He glanced at the store and found that there were several kinds of rice, which made him feel dizzy.

I thought: Next time I come to buy rice, I must call my wife.

He didn't know which one to buy or how to choose, so he waved his hand and said, "You can give me ten pounds of these first."

"Ten pounds of the same amount? Do you want ten pounds of chili noodles too?"

The female boss looked at Tian Hao in surprise.

"Huh? Yes, I like spicy food!"

Tian Hao said bravely.

"Giggle..."

Seeing Tian Hao's embarrassment, the female boss suddenly couldn't help laughing, "Brother, I think you have never taken care of family affairs like this, right? Tell me about your family situation, and I will help you." You take your pick."

"That's great."

Tian Hao immediately briefly explained the situation at home.
