Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 36 Sugar Mantou

After leaving Houle's courtyard door, Gu Siwei said to Liu Dezhu: "Go, take me to the store."

"Aren't you looking for them?" Liu Dezhu was a little confused.

Gu Siwei said: "What do you do with them? Now that you have money, it's important to buy things."

"There are also those in the village...".

"Okay, listen to me, Guo Shengshui can handle those things by himself, so you need to worry about them?" Gu Siwei said.

Liu Dezhu was a little confused.

Seeing his appearance, Gu Siwei said, "Forget it, let's go back and take a look, but let's not go back now, let's go and see what there is to eat and buy some."

Now that he has money in his pocket, Gu Siwei wants to buy something to eat for these guys in the same company. It is impossible to make a good one, but if the white flour steamed buns are suitable, he doesn't mind getting two for each person.

When he heard about buying food, Liu Dezhu narrowed his happy eyes. Although Liu Dezhu thought that Gu Siwei was a spy, he also admitted in his heart that Gu Siwei was a very generous spy.

"Okay, Brother Siwei, what do you want to buy?"

"Don't we have meal tickets, buy some pancakes and steamed buns?" Gu Siwei thought for a while: "Why don't you go to the cafeteria?"

"At this time, the cafeteria has already closed, why don't I take you to the shop?" Liu Dezhu said.

Liu Dezhu is quite familiar with the places to eat here, the only fly in the ointment is that every time he came before, he could only hang around the door, his pockets were cleaner than his face, how could he have money to buy food.

Even if he bought some money, Liu Fulin was reluctant to buy it for his grandson, because every penny he got in exchange was useful. Besides, he, Liu Fulin, was not a good hunter, and he couldn't produce what the workers wanted. It has to be consumed, so even if Liu Dezhu remembered all the delicious shops in this area, he just sniffed it and never tasted it.

"Okay, let's go!"

Gu Siwei didn't think too much about it. For him, the conditions are more difficult now, and he has been hungry for one or two meals. As for the deeper feelings, how can he have them.

Except for the first few days when he first came, he was really not very hungry at other times, especially when he went to the town, the space was full of meat and pickles.

Liu Dezhu took Gu Siwei away and ran to the nearest shop.

At the entrance of the shop, Gu Siwei knew at a glance that the shop was selling pasta. Generally speaking, the pasta shop in Gu Siwei's impression is a breakfast shop, with all kinds of buns, tea eggs, and some porridge in bags. And so on, is the usual small facade.

But this store is really different. There are two open facades of about eight meters, and several steamers are placed at the door, and each steamer is steaming.

Along with the hot air, there is also the tempting noodle fragrance.

Gu Siwei couldn't help sniffing twice more.

Indeed, decades later, he would eat it for breakfast every day, and he would also steam it over there, but he had never smelled such a thick noodle aroma.

Lao Gu didn't know that after decades, it was all refined flour, and the flour used for spreading earlier was definitely not the best wheat pistil flour. Who knows what was removed from these noodles.

Now the flour is the real flour, that is, the wheat has taken off the outer bran, and all the malt and pistil are there, so it doesn't matter whether it is fragrant or not.

The busy salesperson looked up at the two people standing at the door, didn't roll his eyes, and didn't say much, just glanced at it, as if he glanced at the dog poop on the side of the road, turned his eyes away and lowered his head to work up.

This made Gu Siwei feel a little regretful, and it was a little psychologically stressful to take the sheep by hand.

"Let's go, Brother Siwei!"

After sniffing the scent twice, Liu Dezhu was satisfied and decided to leave here.

"Where to go, let's just buy some here."

With that said, Gu Siwei stepped forward.

"Comrade, how do you sell these steamed buns?"

Gu Siwei said to the busy salesperson.

"@#￥#@!"

As soon as the words were finished, he heard the salesperson's mouth like a machine gun, spitting out, and he didn't understand what he was saying.

It's not a local accent. It's almost all Jianghuai official dialect here. This salesperson is obviously not speaking, but a dialect, and it has to be a dialect that someone understands.

The salesperson also seemed to remember that Gu Siwei couldn't understand what she said, so he said in a bit of broken Mandarin:

"Meat buns cost one pound and seven yuan, plus a pound of national food stamps, sugar steamed buns cost eight cents a catty, plus half a catty of food stamps and sugar stamps...".

"Can I buy it with a meal ticket?"

Gu Siwei took out the meal ticket from his pocket.

Seeing Gu Siwei taking out the rice girl, the salesperson said, "If you have a meal ticket, you don't just say it directly. If you have a meal ticket, it's fine. One catty of steamed buns for one catty, one catty for big meat buns, and two catties for three catties for sugar wrinkled heads." Meal tickets...".

Gu Siwei thought for a while, and took out a few: "Give me two catties of sugar buns."

After receiving the meal ticket from Gu Siwei, the salesperson took the wooden clip and put a piece of toilet paper in the other hand, so quickly that Gu Siwei felt a blur in front of his eyes, and a big paper bun wrapped with hot sugar steamed buns appeared in front of him. before.

The paper buns are square and square, with a paper thread tied on them, and when you pick them up, you can still feel the heat of the steamed buns inside through the paper buns.

Handed it over to Liu Dezhu.

"Let's go!"

Liu Dezhu was holding the paper bag, like an idiot, his eyes were staring like copper bells, as if he was holding some precious treasure, his whole body was tense.

After walking for a while, Gu Siwei couldn't stand it anymore.

"There's something wrong with you kid, learning to be a robot?"

"What is a robot?"

Gu Siwei was choked by him, he thought for a while, and decided not to explain to these two idiots, it was too much effort, so he opened his mouth and said.

"What's wrong with you, can't walk anymore?"

While talking, Gu Siwei learned about Liu Dezhu's appearance.

"Brother Siwei, I haven't eaten sugar buns yet."

"..."

Gu Siwei was a little speechless, and didn't know how to say it for a while.

"Why don't you eat one first."

Liu Dezhu shook his head firmly: "No, wait for Brother Shengshui to eat together."

"whatever"

Gu Siwei said.

Along the way, Liu Dezhu firmly protected the two catties of sugar buns, while Gu Siwei looked around. For Gu Siwei, this era is very new, especially those red slogans on the wall. Of course, the streets are full of blue and green. The person in the clothes also made him curious.

"We're back!"

Before reaching the woods, Liu Dezhu couldn't help shouting loudly.

Shhh!
Guo Shengshui jumped out immediately and motioned Liu Dezhu to shut up.

"Have you been checked?" Liu Dezhu asked in a low voice.

Seeing Guo Shengshui nodded, he didn't say a word, but bent down and moved towards Guo Shengshui's place.

Gu Siwei shrank when he saw it, and moved over together.

When he arrived at the place, Gu Siwei discovered that besides a few people in the village, there were also some middle-aged women who came here to buy things.

After about two or three minutes, someone stuck his head out.

"Okay, let's go!"

Gu Siwei stood up and asked, "Why do people care about this?"

"How can there be no one to control the capitalism faction!"

A woman smiled and said to Gu Siwei after hearing this.

From her expression, Gu Siwei understood something. It was obvious that someone checked, but the intensity of the check, as you can imagine, a whole bunch of people are hiding here, and the checkers can't see it. It can be seen that the check is just to go Just a passing scene.

"That's where we are. If we put it somewhere else, it will be fine if we get caught!" Another woman said at this time.

While speaking, this man reached out to pick up the things in the basket.

The women were chatting and picking up the things they liked, and after a while, they chose it, and began to bargain with Guo Shengshui.

Gu Siwei listened for a while and found it quite boring. He glanced at Liu Dezhu and found that the kid was still holding the bag of sugar buns tightly.

Waiting for the people to leave, Liu Dezhu untied the paper buns, and said while undoing them: "Brother Siwei bought sugar buns for everyone...".

"What are you doing with this money? Everyone has brought dry food, just chew and drink some water." Guo Shengdong swallowed when he saw the white-faced sugar buns, and then began to complain about Gu Siwei's waste of money .

Although sugar buns are good, they are also expensive. What do you do with the money? If you have to eat them, they will turn into shit and come out after a while?

"I bought everything, everyone will share one point, two per person." Gu Siwei has no time to listen to his ramblings.

Two catties of sugar buns are really quite a lot, maybe it's because the face is soft and it looks extra big, otherwise Liu Dezhu wouldn't need to hold it in his arms.

After hearing this, Liu Dezhu began to divide.

Gu Siwei said: "I will do with one, and you will give them the rest."

After taking a sugar bun, Gu Siwei took a bite and said.

Asking Liu Dezhu to share the steamed buns, Gu Siwei started to eat them. After taking two bites, he looked around at the guys around and found that each of them took out the dry food, including Liu Dezhu. mouth to send.

"Don't eat?"

"I want to keep it for my grandfather to taste."

"I leave it to my children."

"I want to leave my milk"

……

Gu Siwei felt a little speechless. To these people, his steamed buns were bought for nothing.

Even reluctant to eat it, Gu Siwei urged Liu Dezhu to take him around after eating a sugar bun. Of course, shopping along the way is the most important thing.
