My 1995 Small Farm

"Wow, this is a toy. This toy looks really fun."

After walking two steps, the children found a toy stall. This small stall was surrounded by little children and their parents.

Small stalls sell bamboo and wooden toys.

It is very different from the large-scale production of plastic, but each has its own shape and is basically unique.

There are small cars, small animals, fat pigeons that can move, and monkeys that can pull strings and do somersaults.

In addition, there are ducks and frogs.

When Ruirui saw this, he thought of his little elephant, his eyes immediately lit up, and he shouted: "Little elephant, little elephant!"

"Rui Rui has a baby elephant. You can buy this duck. This duck has a small drum on it, so you can play the drum!"

Qin Yueru pointed at the little duck among them and said.

The little duck made of wood has four wheels under its body, and its body is a small drum of the same wood.

The snare drum also comes with a small mallet.

On the little duck's chest is a button with a rope attached to it.

Not to mention today's children, Chen Ling also played with this thing when he was a child.

It can be said that it carries many childhood memories of Chen Ling.

When Chen Ling was a child, one of the few things in his home that he could remember was this duck toy.

It was his father, Chen Juncai, who bought it from the county town.

After his mother went missing, he could play with ducks in front of his house all day long.

Tie the rope and pull it, and you can hear the thumping sound of the little drum as the little duck runs.

Unfortunately, there was a flood later and many things were lost long ago.

"Uncle, how can I sell this little duck?"

Almost as soon as Qin Yueru finished speaking, Chen Ling took over. He also liked this thing very much.

Ruirui didn't want it, but he had a thought in buying it back.

The old man who set up the stall was pretty good at his craftsmanship, although not as good as Chen Sangui's.

But the toys are well made.

This chubby little duck is infinitely closer to the one he once was.

The craftsmanship is meticulous and the entire toy is polished smooth.

"Take the two dollars!"

The old man was smoking his pipe without raising his head, looking like a stuffy gourd.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling handed over a ten-dollar note and asked the dolls to pick something else.

Two yuan for a small toy is actually not cheap in this day and age.

But Chen Ling obviously doesn't care about this, he just wants the children to be happy.

"The crispy rice here is delicious. I want to buy some crispy rice."

"There are also cat ears and rice strips here..."

Women who have married are also women, plus they are still young.

I can't help but get greedy when I encounter some snacks.

Besides, it’s Chinese New Year and if you have children at home, you should buy more snacks.

Chen Ling was not interested in snacks, so he and Liang Yuemin looked around, looking for something interesting.

The little chestnuts and Ruirui on his shoulders are really greedy.

Even more greedy than my mother and aunts, I want to eat everything I see.

Smelling the scent of dog meat, they wanted to eat it.

People who sell dog meat here call it spiced dog meat.

Chen Ling didn't know how to make it, but he thought it was mainly salty. There were no unusual seasonings in this era.

Not much of a surprise to him.

"That's dog meat. Don't you like puppies very much?"

Liang Yuemin asked the two children: "Can you still bear to eat dog meat?"

Ruirui couldn't understand the complicated words, so she just grabbed Chen Ling's big hand and shouted: "Dad, eat meat..."

Xiao Lizi said: "Uncle, it smells good to me. Just try a little bit. It's not our domestic dog anyway."

Chen Ling couldn't help but laugh and had to buy some for a few kids to try.

Dog meat has no peculiar smell and is indeed very fragrant.

But they didn't buy more, because there were too many delicious things at such a big fair near the end of the year.

Chen Ling also saw various meat skewers, as well as chicken legs and duck legs fried there.

He had never heard of it before, and he had done some of it when he was hosting banquets.

Could it be that this is what happened?

"The sesame **** are delicious, but the meat is not as good as dog meat. It's far worse than what we make at home!"

The women all agreed that snacks were more delicious.

They felt that the meat was very different from the ones Chen Ling made himself, so they didn't take a second look.

But everyone is holding a big paper bag of snacks in their hands. The children eat it, and they eat it too.

Wang Susu also fed Chen Ling and the two children on his shoulders from time to time.

Xiao Lizi sat on Chen Ling's shoulder and could see very far. She soon discovered something new and strange: "Uncle, let's go to the front. There are monkey tricks there. I heard my grandma say that monkey tricks are fun."

The little girl spoke, and the other children also became curious.

Playing monkey is fun once you hear it.

Everyone was clamoring to go.

Anyway, everyone is here to hang out, so go and have a look.

A large family crowded around the crowd.

Only then did I realize that the monkey trick was actually playing in the open space at the entrance of the hospital.

The scene was so big that it took up all the open space in the county hospital.

As soon as they stood outside, they heard the sound of gongs ringing in the circle formed by the crowd, and the man playing the monkey shouted in an exaggerated tone:

“Young and old gentlemen, it’s Chinese New Year, let’s make some money~”

He was funny and made the children laugh.

But the adults didn't laugh. When they saw the monkey charmer asking for money, they found it boring and started to leave.

The onlookers on the three floors inside and three outside just now were reduced by more than half.

Seeing this, Chen Ling quickly took advantage of the situation to find a stone and stood on it.

Upon seeing this, Liang Yuemin hurriedly came to his side, picked up the little fat man and Zhao Dahai's Yaya and watched.

As soon as I got into a good position, I saw two monkeys inside. A big monkey and a little monkey.

At this time, the cute little monkey was holding the plate and spinning around asking for money.

"This monkey is not bad. He is very obedient. He is much stronger than the wild monkeys in the mountains. He can also play this trick..."

Chen Ling was surprised and took out two five-dollar bills from his pocket and gave them to Ruirui and Xiaolizi respectively to put them in.

Ruirui put the money down, shouted excitedly, and leaned down hard to touch the little monkey.

"Quickly thank people and bow to them!"

The monkey man was overjoyed when he saw two five-dollar coins.

After saying this and bowing, he felt that he was quick to speak, so he quickly walked forward and picked up the little monkey for Ruirui to touch.

I was given ten yuan at a time, and I could touch him if I wanted to. I couldn't satisfy him at all, and I couldn't even afford the reward.

"I want it too. Dad, please give me the money. I want to touch the little monkey too!"

The little fat man shouted, and Yaya also looked expectant.

Liang Yuemin naturally paid happily.

Two more ten-dollar bills were handed over.

Good guy, now the monkey man is excited.

The monkey is not doing well yet.

He turned somersaults excitedly on his own.

When he did this, the big monkey and the little monkey followed suit and did somersaults.

Then, the money in the little monkey's tray was scattered all over the floor.

"Oh, you lost your money."

Liang Yuemin was still reminding him seriously.

Little did they know that this was a monkey trick.

He let out a cry of "Ah!" and shouted: "My money."

It's okay if he didn't shout. After shouting this sentence, the big monkey seemed to have received a signal.

He ran over quickly, grabbed the money, and started running into the crowd.

The monkey man was so angry that he picked up the whip and started lashing out.

Monkey playing is also about technique.

It looked like the whip was about to hit the audience, but it suddenly turned a corner and hit the big monkey.

The monkey was also very responsive. He stretched out his hand and pulled, grinned and screamed "ke", then pulled hard and took the whip into his hand.

Then he took a whip and whipped the man who was playing monkey.

While pumping, he screamed, as if he was cursing someone.

The beating made the monkey-playing man cry for his father and mother, and roll around with his head in his hands.

But the adult monkey still kept doing it until the monkey man's shoes fell off and his belt fell off.

I was rolling all over the floor begging for mercy, shouting that Grandpa Monkey pressed the wrong button, I will give you good food and drink every day, and don’t hit me again.

It caused a burst of laughter from the onlookers.

Of course this has been rehearsed long ago, and the monkey has also been trained.

When a skilled monkey juggler hits the monkey, the whip may seem to be hitting the monkey hard, but in fact the blow is not very harsh.

The same goes for monkeys hitting people.

This is the trick of selling misfortunes and pretending to be rich.

In fact, the effect of the program is very good up to this point.

Unexpectedly, the little monkey was also very smart. At this time, while bowing and clapping, he picked up the tray on the ground and started to circle around and scream.

Let everyone reward you with money.

"Good job, this monkey is well trained, this little monkey is smart!"

The crowd of spectators shouted.

This time it was not just Chen Ling and the others, but even the ordinary audience members who were reluctant to pay took out one or two steel coins and rewarded them.

The monkey man was about to say thank you.

Unexpectedly, the little Lizi on Chen Ling's shoulder said with red eyes: "The little monkey came out to support the family at such a young age. It's so pitiful. The monkey trick must have denied it food and drink, causing it and the monkey mother to suffer."

Xiaolizi used to have the temper of a spoiled little princess and didn't understand this.

That is to say, they have come to the countryside more, and with the influence of Chen Ling's cartoons, various small animals have been given human characteristics.

She slowly came to know a lot of things without knowing why.

However, most of these will still be substituted into animal characters.

Then, she said something slightly pitiful and choked.

The other little kids around who came to the market were also angry: "Monkey, keep beating him, I'll pay you, beat him, keep beating him!"

Even the little fat man and the others, as well as Ruirui, started shouting: "Hit!"

The monkey juggler didn't dare to get up now, because there were too many money thrown in. With more money, the big monkey was also able to beat the monkey in a decent manner, and his hands became stronger.

The man playing the monkey suddenly screamed even more miserably.

What an unexpectedly wonderful show.

After watching the monkey show, the children were more excited and felt that they had a great time.

Chen Ling soon discovered something good.

It's a strange stone.

The stall owner said he picked it up in Wangba City.

Set up a stall to sell during the Chinese New Year. It can be used as a center stone or Feng Shui stone at home.

Of course, this one is not as high-end as those in the city, which means it can be buried somewhere at home.

Some are completely buried, and some are partially exposed. Each family has its own interpretation of this based on the different topography.

"The mining in Tortoise City has cut off the river. Both rivers have dried up. What is exposed on the river bed are all beautiful stones. Take a look. These are all good things we picked up!"

The stall owner introduced it and looked at Chen Ling: "The one you picked can emit smoke when water is poured on it. I want to sell this for two hundred yuan."

What Chen Ling chose himself was a strange stone with six holes. This strange stone had an unusual shape, just like a rockery.

But he is not small, about thirty centimeters in height.

"It will smoke when you water it. It contains lime, right? It costs two hundred yuan, how dare you ask for it!"

Liang Yuemin shook his head. It was not impossible that the mines mined in Wangba City contained lime-like substances. (End of chapter)
