Chapter 117 The Pit of Snacks (Subscribe for the third watch!)
"Grandma, I want to eat sweet potatoes."

Youyou, the little devil king, has shown his power, and he can't be quiet at home for a moment, and now he is thinking about going to eat roasted yams.

Under the leadership of her sister, the little girl Xixi naturally followed blindly, so the little girl also ran to hug grandma's thigh and shouted.

"Grandma, and baby."

What else is there to say, take these two little girls to the street to buy roasted potatoes.

It used to be like this when I was in Dashang Kelp Yoyo. I often bought a roasted potato to take home, and then two people served it with small spoons.

Speaking of Yoyo's fondness for eating sweet potatoes, it's all thanks to grandma.

Holding a little girl in one hand, Yu Xiu happily went to buy sweet potatoes; although she often got headaches from the two little girls arguing, she had to admit that she enjoyed it.

Zhang Hao originally sat at the door with a long bench to brag to his neighbors, but he saw his mother taking the two little ones to buy sweet potatoes, so he became a little interested.

Roasted yams are a good thing. Zhang Hao has not forgotten that when he was a child, he often threw a yam into the stove; even when the neighbors next door burned the ashes, many children would bury the yams into the fire.

At that time, he was greedy and impatient, so many times the yams were half-baked. Of course, a large part of the reason was that Zhang Hao liked big yams at that time, so it was normal for them to be undercooked.

"Tina, let's go buy a sweet potato. It's delicious. I'll take you shopping again. It would be best if there are chestnuts fried in sugar. Mom likes chestnuts very much, and I actually like them too."

Christina, who was quietly listening to Zhang Hao's bragging, became excited, because she couldn't understand Zhang Hao's bragging with others; of course she was very happy when she went out for a stroll.

The two set off immediately. Fortunately, the mother took the two little guys away; but Zhang Hao felt that the mother must have done it on purpose to show off the two little granddaughters.

"Yes, my family has two little granddaughters. The little one belongs to Xiao Hao, and she came back for the first year of this year to celebrate the New Year."

"In that case, my Xixi doesn't know how naughty she is, so I'd better stay quiet."

……

Christina didn't understand much, but Zhang Hao knew what his mother was talking about; but thinking about it, it was normal, with two such lovely and beautiful little granddaughters, it was hard not to show off.

Zhang Hao laughed a few times and didn't say anything, but Christina didn't quite understand, she shouted, "Xixi, Yoyo, I'm here."

Xixi turned around at once, the little girl broke away from grandma's hand, and ran over dancing, "Mom, Shanyu."

Christina immediately hugged Xixi, put her nose against Xixi's little nose affectionately and said, "Xixi, do you know what a potato is?"

Xixi thought for a while, scratched her head and replied decisively, "I don't know."

Yoyo is a little dumbfounded now, she can't understand what her sister and mom are saying, so Yoyo is anxious, "Mom, and me, I'm Yoyo!"

Two noisy little guys really don't make people feel relaxed.

Hug up Yoyo, otherwise this little girl must be dishonest; in order to buy sweet potatoes more easily, it's better not to quarrel with these little guys.

Taking two little guys to buy sweet potatoes is actually not such a difficult task; Zhang Hao also knows that they still attract attention.

The main reason is because of Christina, there are basically no foreigners in my hometown.This isn't a big city, but fortunately, it's just a sneaky look, so there's no trouble at all.

Xixi is basically in a state of ignorance when it comes to roasted potatoes, but Yoyo is different, the little girl knows all about this.

"Grandpa, give me a big, big potato."

He speaks Mandarin, without any dialect accent; his elder brother and sister-in-law are well-educated, but Zhang Hao is thinking maliciously.Some young people go out to work and come back and still speak Mandarin, which feels very awkward.

The old man who sold the roasted potatoes was taken aback, not because of Yoyo, but because of Christina; he was a little flustered, but he quickly realized, "Oh, okay, how big a potato do you want?"

The two little girls, Xixi and Yoyo, naturally wanted the bigger the better, but it was obvious that they couldn't make the decision.

Yu Xiu looked at it and asked, "Are they all red sweet potatoes? Are there any local sweet potatoes, or are local sweet potatoes better?"

The old man roasting sweet potatoes immediately opened the tin stove and said, "Yes, local sweet potatoes cost one yuan, and red hearts are five yuan a catty."

One yuan more expensive is one yuan more expensive, delicious food is the most important thing; although sweet potatoes in small towns like my hometown are sold for five or six yuan a catty, this is also normal, the prices are very high now, in big cities Definitely more expensive.

I bought two local yams and one red heart yam; Zhang Hao and Christina just watched from the sidelines, they may not be very proficient in picking yams, many yams look good, but my mother always said A lot to be desired.

So, let's learn slowly, there are really too many places to learn in life.

The little girls looked at the sweet potatoes eagerly. They had already smelled the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes, and they couldn't wait any longer.

But now is not the time to eat sweet potatoes, either go home to eat, or go to buy sugar-fried chestnuts together.

Zhang Hao squatted down, looked at Yoyo and Xixi and asked, "Are you going home now to eat sweet potatoes or go buy chestnuts with me? Yoyo likes to eat chestnuts, right? Let's go buy some chestnuts before we go back, shall we?"

Youyou nodded straightly, the little girl really likes fried chestnuts in sugar; so she immediately took her uncle's hand and went to buy fried chestnuts in sugar.

This little girl Xixi has no idea, because she still doesn't know if sweet potatoes are good, and she hasn't eaten chestnuts fried with sugar; but since her sister is going, Xixi will naturally follow.Besides, Xixi is a good boy, and both parents are going to buy chestnuts.

The cute Xixi is holding grandma's hand, her little nose is wrinkled; this little girl has learned badly from being with the white lion and white tiger all day long, and now she really has a puppy nose!

"Grandma, big one!"

Xixi pointed with her little finger, and she was looking at the big chestnut; because the big chestnut is beautiful and has a lot of flesh, for Xixi who likes tall and complete, the big chestnut is naturally delicious.

Yu Xiu squeezed Xixi's little face, and said, "Xixi, the small chestnuts are more delicious, and the small chestnuts are fragrant. The big chestnuts are not cooked well, let's buy small chestnuts."

The obedient Xixi had better listen to what grandma said. The little girl stretched her neck to look at the chestnuts fried in sugar; after getting the chestnuts handed over by the small vendor, she immediately lay shyly in grandma's arms, because the little girl was very young. I received a lot of education when I was young, such as not taking things from strangers.

Zhang Hao took the little chestnut and said to Xixi, "Xixi, what do you want to say?"

Xixi became more courageous, and the little girl said in a childish voice, "Thank you."

This is a good boy with good manners, although sometimes he is a bit timid, which is also an indisputable fact.But Xixi's tutoring is pretty good, and she understands basic manners.

I returned with a full load and bought roasted potatoes and chestnuts fried in sugar, which were enough for the little girls to have snacks for a while.

Christina is not unfamiliar with roasted sweet potatoes, because it is impossible to have sweet potatoes in the United States; but she feels fresher about fried chestnuts in sugar. Now she has started to grab chestnuts with the children, and they are peeled one by one and eaten quickly. One after another.

Xixi, who was eating sweet potatoes, became anxious. The little girl stood up from the small bench, stood in front of Christina and said in a hurry, "Mom won't eat, it's all eaten, baby's belly is hungry."

Youyou is also anxious, although roasted sweet potatoes are her favorite, but fried chestnuts are also her favorite, so she and her sister blocked the little mother and said, "Little mother is a villain, don't eat it!"

This time Christina was embarrassed, she did eat a lot of sugar-fried chestnuts, one after another; the children would definitely not be much faster if they did it, but if Christina did it, it would be amazing, basically less than You can eat one in half a minute.

And this little chestnut is not very full, so Christina eats it with relish.

It's really embarrassing to be blocked by two little girls and criticized; now it's Christina's turn to be depressed, and Zhang Hao is just snickering. Being accused by Xixi, that would be why Christina made fun of him.

But now, there is no need to worry about these, because Zhang Hao has also caught a handle!

Although such small oolongs make people laugh bitterly, there is also a lot of laughter in the family.

Christina was defeated by the children, and she knew she had no other choice now; so she could only choose to stop temporarily, and it was enough to taste something new. This is indeed a delicious snack. Christina felt that she fell in love with sugar-fried chestnuts delicious.

There is no need to be fond of sugar-fried chestnuts, because you can buy them if you really want to eat them; moreover, children often don’t have much self-control, but if adults don’t have self-control, then they are joking. Obviously, Christina Not someone without self-control.

Seeing that Christina's foodie attributes began to explode, and seeing that she was more interested in some special snacks, Zhang Hao became happy and felt that he had something to do.

"Tomorrow we will go to the city, where there will be more snacks. Let's taste it slowly, I think you will definitely gain more."

Christina nodded seriously and said, "This is a great proposal. I want to try the other snacks. I think they are delicious. I hope I won't be disappointed tomorrow!"

Zhang Hao rolled his eyes, Christina is really greedy now, she has really fallen into the pit of delicious snacks; this is too fast, she will not really plan to "get fat every Chinese New Year" Three pounds' it!
