The splendid youth of the farm gate

Chapter 149
So the family first went to Ren Shan Tang.

It was cold, and there were many people with colds and colds. Both the clerk and the shopkeeper Wen were busy in the drugstore. Qingguo walked up to Mr. Wen who was doing calculations and keeping accounts.

"Grandpa Wen."

"Hey, Guoer, why are you here? Is someone in the family sick?" Mr. Wen put down the brush in his hand, leaned forward and said to Qingguo.

Qingguo shook her head, and put the pickles and sour radish in the bamboo basket on the counter.

"It's almost Chinese New Year, my father and I are here to buy new year's goods, and I'll send you some homemade side dishes by the way."

"Hey, I have taken advantage of your family a lot this year."

Mr. Wen laughed and picked up the small bamboo basket, and called a boy to take the contents of the basket to the kitchen in the backyard.While teasing Qing Guo.

"It should be," Qingguo said crisply, leaning slightly, and said softly, "Grandpa Wen, our family may move to the next year, and I will cook for you. The dishes I cook are very good!"

"Okay, okay, okay." Mr. Wen nodded vigorously, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Wen is waiting."

Not long after, the clerk came back with an empty basket, and Qingguo was about to reach out to pick it up, but Mr. Wen took the basket before her, and then took a greased paper bag from the counter and put it in the basket.

"Guo'er, here are some pieces of malt candy, you can take them and eat them."

"Hey, Grandpa Wen, there's no need. You'd better save it for Bao'er!" Qing Guo repeatedly declined.

Baoer is Mr. Wen's little grandson, and he loves maltose the most.

"There's also Bao'er's. These are for you to eat, good boy, take them home and share them with your sister and brother."

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Qing Guo had no choice but to accept it.Seeing that the shop was very busy, she was too embarrassed to stay too long, so she said a few more words to Mr. Wen before turning around and walking out.

Luo Xingzu and Lin were waiting outside the shop, and when they saw Qingguo coming out, they went forward to greet her.

"Guo'er, let's go buy meat now, the meat needs to be bought early to be fresh."

"Okay, let's go to the butcher shop then."

Qingguo took out the oiled paper bag in the basket, took out the few pieces of maltose in it, and divided them up one by one.

"Guo'er, mother doesn't want to eat it, you can eat it." Lin pushed Qingguo's candy hand away and said with a smile, "This candy sticks to your teeth."

How could Qingguo not know that Mrs. Lin was unwilling to eat it, so she put the candy into Mrs. Lin's mouth and said, "Mother, just eat this piece."

Lin had no choice but to eat the piece of candy with Qingguo's hand, and Qingguo fed Luo Xingzu a piece in the same way.

"Guo'er, it's really sweet." Luo Xiaojiang narrowed his eyes and said.

Maltose, like frosting sugar, is a precious thing, and this is the first time Guoer has eaten it since he traveled through time.Sweet things are always particularly easy to make people feel happy, she imitated Luo Xiaojiang, squinted her eyes and nodded.

"Yeah, it's so sweet!"

The butcher Zhang's family was the only one selling meat in the town. Because of Widow Sun's relationship, when buying meat, Luo Xiaojiang kept a stern face.How could Butcher Zhang pay attention to whether a child Gao was happy? When Luo Xingzu said that he wanted to buy twenty catties of meat, he immediately became very happy.

"Twenty catties, ouch, brother Xingzu, you've made a lot of money this year!" Butcher Zhang chatted with Luo Xingzu while chopping meat with a knife in his hand.

"What are you earning! The farmer's family is just earning food and clothing." Luo Xingzu said.

Butcher Zhang weighed the cut meat and put it in the basket that Luo Xingzu handed over, "Brother Xingzu, it's not uncommon to weigh twenty catties of meat in one go in ten miles and eight towns. This is really begging day."

"Twenty catties of meat, fourteen Wen a catty, a total of 280 Wen." Qing Guo handed the counted money to Butcher Zhang, and said to Luo Xingzu: "Father, let's go, don't you still want to buy a chicken?"

"Hey, let's go."

Luo Xingzu cheerfully picked up the basket and was about to leave.

"Wait, brother Xingzu, you bought these twenty catties of meat, and I'll give you this big bone. It's not bad to cook soup at home." Butcher Zhang threw a big bone into the basket.

"Hey, how good is this..."

Qingguo originally wanted to follow the root of the bone, but saw that Zhang Tuhu was talking nonsense, and Luo Xiaojiang looked unhappy again, so she said to leave, and now the free door-to-door advantage, how could she not take advantage of it? Luo Xingzu left.

A few steps away from the butcher's shop are chicken and fish sellers.

Mrs. Lin chose an old hen that had been raised for three or four years just by looking at it, but Xiao Jiang pointed to a big rooster with bright coat and shouted that he wanted to buy that one.

"Mother, the rooster is good, the rooster's feathers can be used for feather dusters!"

Lin smiled and scolded Luo Xiaojiang, and said with a smile: "The rooster is rough, but the hen is better. I will buy some shiitake mushrooms and stew them together."

Well, Qingguo thinks that Mrs. Lin has more say in this kind of matter.

After buying the chicken, I also bought the eggs by the way, and I also bought a big grass carp weighing four catties.Qingguo is really worried. Is it really necessary to eat such a big fish from the first day to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?

"There is a grocery store in front, let's go and buy some sugar, let's go to Xiaotao's house." Lin pointed to the store in front and said.

The group went to the grocery store in a mighty way again, and bought a catty of frosting sugar and a catty of maltose. Lin also chose red vermicelli and dried mushrooms and weighed some of each.

At this point, the purchases for the New Year are complete.

"Go, go see your third aunt."

Since it was the end of the year, Lin also guessed that Lin Xiaotao must be helping out in the shop. When the family arrived at the roasted seeds and nuts shop, they saw Lin Xiaotao and Huang Baozhong greeting everyone.

"Peach."

"Sister, why are you here?" Lin Xiaotao threw the scale in her hand, turned around and came out to meet her.

Because Huang Baozhong had a customer shopping, he turned around and said hello before continuing the business.

"Take care of yourself first. My sister and your brother-in-law are here to make some New Year's goods, so I'll come and see you." Lin said.

Lin Xiaotao glanced at Huang Baozhong who was busy, and said with a smile, "It's okay, brother Baozhong is busy, sister, I'll pour you a cup of hot water."

Mrs. Lin didn't stop her either, she followed Lin Xiaotao with her gaze, and seeing that Lin Xiaotao was much lighter than she saw last time, she couldn't help but sighed softly.

"Sister, brother-in-law, let's have some hot tea." Lin Xiaotao greeted Lin Shi and Luo Xingzu, then turned to Qingguo's third sibling and said, "Guo'er, take whatever you want, you're welcome."

"Got it, Third Aunt."

Qingguo smiled and went to grab a handful of sunflower seeds. She knew that Lin Xiaotao would be unhappy if she didn't grab anything.

Luo Xingzu saw that Huang Baozhong was too busy alone, so he stepped forward to help, and let Lin and Lin Xiaotao whisper.
