Poor family mother and son

Chapter 287 On the Importance of Mandarin

"Be merciful, be merciful, my lords!"

Chu Yuan's fists were all raised, and the store manager rushed over, clasping his fists and begging for mercy.

Chu Yuan ignored him, and was about to smash his fist down. The shopkeeper "thumped" and knelt on the ground: "Masters, there is a seedling of thousands of hectares in my little old man's house, and this son inherits the incense. If the little boy does something wrong, I beg you Master punish the little old man, huh? Let him go?"

The shopkeeper looked over 50 years old, not like Xiao Er's father, but more like a grandfather, he looked very old.

Seeing him trembling and kneeling begging, Chu Yuan couldn't bear it, so he let go of his hands and stood up: "It's a pity that you pleaded for him, but it's a pity that your son is not a talent, and he molested a girl at a young age!"

The shopkeeper glanced around the room, but he didn't see any girls, and the expression on his face was rather dazed.

"What are you looking at!" Chu Yuan yelled dissatisfied.

The shopkeeper shook his body and replied: "No...you can't, can you? I never dare to act recklessly... Besides, you don't have any girls here!"

"You..." Chu Yuan glanced at Gan Lai and swallowed what he wanted to say.

He had forgotten that Gan Lai was wearing men's clothing, so dusty that he couldn't tell it was a girl's house.

Xiao Sining immediately maintained the rhythm and did not allow silence: "Your son said 'pull people and fuck them all'!"

The shopkeeper blinked his eyes and thought for a long time, then he understood: "Masters misunderstood, my son has never seen the world, and has been in the countryside. It's not because of his bad years that he was picked up to help me. He can't speak official language... ..."

Chu Yuan: "What does it have to do with Mandarin! What we are talking about is that he wants to 'pull people off'!"

The shopkeeper was helpless, and said in the local dialect: "You pull some people naked..." Then he switched to official language: "Is this what the kid said? He means you people are so, so straight up When you look at people from the ground up...it's just...that's straight up..."

He originally wanted to say "Why do you look at people so stupidly", but he didn't dare, so he changed it to "Straightforward".

Gan Lai responded immediately: "That's not right, he also said 'Fuck you fool!'"

Now the waiter in the store finally came to his senses, he was almost scared to death just now, and he was almost beaten, but now he is not reconciled: "Old man, I asked him 'what's the matter', but at that time he grabbed me by the neck What about the son, out of tune!"

The shopkeeper now knows why the outsiders in this room are angry, and there is really a woman in love!
He hurriedly bowed to Gan Lai: "Girl, I'm sorry, look, if you don't open your mouth, the little old man doesn't even realize that you are a girl. You, you are so...really...

Just now my kid wanted to ask why you guys were staring at him directly, you really didn't mean anything malicious! "

Whoops!
Chu Yuan rubbed his nose, Gan Lai rolled his eyes and looked at the sky, Xiao Sining didn't dare to smile in front of Gan Lai, so he had to turn his back, and the rest of the boys also sat down, and then covered their faces with their arms.

Ok?wrong!Gan Lai looked at the shopkeeper again: "Get up and answer first, let me ask you, if this is not a black shop, why are you feeding us this rotten fish? Tell me, did you drug it?"

As soon as the shopkeeper stood up, he knelt back in fright, and waved his hands straight:
"No, no! You are wronged! How could you prescribe medicine? It is true that this fish was not caught today, but it is also a live fish left over from yesterday, so it cannot be rotten!"

Gan Lai: "Impossible? You ate it!"

The shopkeeper stood up tremblingly, picked up a chopstick fish and put it in his mouth to taste it: "No problem, the fish is not bad! That's the taste."

Xiao Bao finally interjected: "Then why is this fish so sour and fishy, ​​and it still smells like a nose!"

The shopkeeper said with a bitter face: "Last year, there was a severe flood, the food and grain were gone, and the roots of the pepper trees were rotten. This year, everything is expensive;
If the little old man still has prickly ash, he can also go to the masters to get rid of the fishy smell, isn't it gone;

But the little old man was afraid that the masters would find it fishy, ​​so he specially ordered the back kitchen to put mustard. The little old man tasted it just now, and it was really okay, not too fishy. "

Xiaobao: "Then the sour smell... did you put vinegar? No salt?"

Shopkeeper: "Well, to tell you the truth, I can't afford salt, and even the price of vinegar has gone up. Except for the largest restaurants in the county, there are ways to get cheap salt. We can't get it here, so we have to use vinegar instead. "

Xiaobao was surprised: "You use vinegar instead of salt? That's not the same taste!"

Shopkeeper: "We eat at home, and we don't put much vinegar..."

Xiaobao: "Isn't this the south of the Yangtze River? Isn't the water beautiful and the soil fertile? How can it be so poor?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed: "Oh, you are talking about other state capitals, but we can't do it here. Our salt here was 110 renminbi a catty last year, and it rose to 150 renminbi during the Chinese New Year, and the price has not been reduced. "

Xiaobao exclaimed: "What salt is 150 Wen a catty! A silver ring is not worth the price!"

The waiter in the shop saw that his father had chatted with him, so he was not afraid anymore, and even said angrily: "What silver ring! That thing is worth half a catty of salt here!"

Chu Yuan was embarrassed at the moment because he blamed others wrongly, so he simply brought the plate of fish and rice in front of Xiao Bao to Xiao Er: "Brother, I'm sorry, sit down and eat, and we brothers will chat while eating." .”

The waiter put his head down and ate it, and he took it as a shock to himself: "You don't have to talk to me, don't turn around and say that I molested you, Fang Laokuo, Guwazisuo? Talk to my old man!"

Chu Yuan: "My name is not 'Fang Laokuo', my name is..."

Xiaobao: "I heard on the road yesterday that Fang's head is... saying that your brain is not working well, idiot!"

Xiao Sining asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, why is your salt so expensive here? We even think it's expensive at forty cents a catty in our hometown."

The shopkeeper: "I don't know, little old man, but I heard that we eat pond salt in the north, right? That's cheap, but we don't produce pond salt here, we produce well salt, and it's not easy to dig a well. The cost of salt is also high, so I can’t afford it.”

No matter how high the cost is, it will be less than one hundred yuan a catty. If so, why not sell salt here from all over the world?

Xiaobao felt that this statement was not true, but the store manager couldn't say anything else.

Chu Yuan asked: "Is the well salt here particularly good? It's white and thin? Otherwise, why is it so expensive?"

The shopkeeper's confusion: "No, they are all yellow and black, neither white nor thin."

Chu Yuan simply went back to the room, took out the seasoning he brought from his luggage, and gave it to the shopkeeper: "Okay, take this, these days we are here, let's use these for cooking, and, sift the rice again cook!"

The shopkeeper was very anxious, and promised in a loud voice: "I want it, I want it!" Holding a few jars of spices, he wanted to drag his son away quickly, but when he saw his son who was working hard, he said, "Oh, you son of a bitch! "
