My live broadcast room communicates ancient and modern

In the big house booked by Erdaohe and his party.

At this time, Liu Laozhu and the boys had already stripped naked. They were all men, regardless of their image, and the three of them were burning their waists with a quilt on a hot kang.

All their clothes have been washed, and everyone's cloth shoes have been brushed.

From time to time, there will be boys who get off the kang in shifts, pulling a pair of old straw sandals borrowed from the store to add firewood to the kang hole.

To keep the house and the kang warm all the time, we can ensure that everyone's clothes and shoes are dry tomorrow morning.

"Why isn't third brother Xu coming back?"

If you don't come back, don't dare to cut in the door to sleep.If he didn't cut in the door, Uncle Lizheng brought too much money to buy goods, so he couldn't sleep well.I just hope to live in Fucheng for two days to rest my mind, otherwise I will have to go back and forth for more than ten consecutive days.During this trip, everyone lost at least two catties.

Liu Laozhu wondered: "Isn't he going to guard his mother outside the door again? This silly boy is damp, but he changed his clothes and guarded him again. Go and see personally, is there anyone back from that house?" There was a change of inner clothes, but Xu Youcang wore short ones.

The grandson of the fourth uncle's family said: "Uncle, I saw that the third brother went out with his aunt after changing clothes, don't worry about it."

The boys are envious.

It's good to have a mother with you. Aunt Xu brought a change of clothes and straw sandals for Third Brother Xu.

Even if the clothes they put on were tattered and looked like they were worn for work, they were much better than them.

Along the way, my aunt wiped the third brother's hair with a handkerchief, and used a wooden spoon to spread some hot sauce on the potatoes when he ate them.

I heard that the third brother was injured when he went out to work, and my aunt spent a lot of money at home to get the medicine for the third brother, and took the pills with her when she went out.

They often heard their aunt call Xu Youcang, don't forget to take medicine and drink plenty of water when driving.

In the county town, he told him carefully, and he must have brought his son with him to sell goods when he arrived in Fucheng, so that the third brother could see a lot of new things.

Everyone knew that Mrs. Xu brought goods here, and she wanted to sell goods for Guan Langzhong, but it was not clear what to sell and how much money.All I know is that the jars and baskets I brought are all gone, probably sold out.

The people in the room were talking about Xu Youcang, only taking advantage of the two-clothed Xu Youcang, he opened the door and walked in.

Xu Youcang was holding five oranges in his hand.

Except for Liu Laozhu who has eaten and bought oranges in the house, he knows that they are very expensive.

Most of the other people have never even seen it, let alone eaten it, and they have never eaten it.

Even Liu Laozhu's eating oranges was a coincidence and a treat for his friends.

Although he himself bought it with money, but at that time his old wife was pregnant with her old son, so he bought it twice.A few years ago, the price of oranges was even more expensive than it is now. The old wife didn't care what delicious food she had and wanted to give it to her eldest daughter and son, so he didn't eat a single bite.

At this time, there was a kid who didn't know how to eat, and was eating orange peels.

Xu Youcang stopped him, saying that the orange peels had to be brought up, and they couldn't be eaten.

In fact, he also ate the skin before, it looks so good-looking and golden, and it sells so expensive, if he eats the skin, isn't that for nothing?

He stopped after hearing his mother say that the peel was not edible.

As someone who has been there, Xu Youcang imparted experience to the younger brothers: "I heard from my mother that eating the white part of the orange petals is the best for your health. Although chewing it is a bit bitter, it is better than the orange petals for health."

His mother is someone who has seen rich people eat oranges in a restaurant in the county seat, so she is definitely not wrong.

The Sun family boy looked at the orange peel, there were more white silk stalks in the peel, wouldn't it be more beautiful to eat?

Xu Youcang was taken aback for a moment, that's right, he only remembered that his mother wanted to keep the outer skin, and he heard that drying it could be sold to pharmacies for money.If you ask him, selling fruit peels for money is a trap.What kind of people often buy oranges to preserve their peels?Affordable and still short of selling fruit skin money?
But his family is poor, and he can sell a penny for a penny.

"Then eat it, just leave the outermost part to me." After speaking, Xu Youcang took the lead in nibbling the inner peel of the orange.

Due to the inconvenience of coming to the big house, Mrs. Xu never expected that the skins of these five oranges were only left with the yellow layer, which was thin, and the white inner skin was gone. .

When Xu Youcang handed it over, Mrs. Xu was speechless.

"Mom, they say it's delicious, sour and sweet, and it's watery when you bite into it, which is different from the wild fruits picked in the mountains. Let me thank you."

In fact, many wild fruits in the mountains are not astringent, but everyone is poor and hardworking, and they are afraid that people will lose the fruit before the fruit is ripe, so they pick it up and eat it.

Xu Youcang didn't learn that Li Zhengshu also told the price, and after hearing the price, the people in the big house didn't know how to eat the five oranges, and they were all timid and slightly ashamed.

Maybe I guessed that my mother would go all out to buy such an expensive fruit for Tian Xin.

Mrs. Xu looked sad, a peel, in modern times, especially during the Chinese New Year, oranges are eaten, and everyone throws them away after eating, and they don't even bother to smell the incense.Families with good conditions even have rotten fruits that are more expensive and rare than oranges, but here they hold them like treasures.

She asked the third child to wait.

This kind of orange peel that has been bitten by more than a dozen people, she specified that it should not be kept to dry.

After thinking about it, everyone was driving all the way, and everyone was quite angry and dry.

Cut the orange peel into shreds and scald it twice with [-] to [-] degrees of water. After scalding the bitter taste, Mrs. Xu scooped out a spoonful of honey and some sugar from the honey she bought for pastries. Then I borrowed a kettle from the store.

The storekeeper thought that Mrs. Xu was quite polite because she borrowed the kitchen stove and gave them a separate amount of money, and suggested that they would only borrow it in the dead of night so as not to delay their work, so they happily found a slightly larger red clay kettle.

The old lady Xu cut the orange peel into shreds and soaked it in water, and asked Xu Youcang to send it to the big house.

"Taking advantage of the clear taste, drink it like sugar water."

The boys in Erdaohe Village didn't expect that after tasting orange segments worth tens of pennies a catty for the first time, they drank the peeled syrup.

Just to dry the clothes, the kang was so hot that their throats were dry.

"What is Aunt Xu doing?" A boy asked.

Xu Youcang said that he had bought some ingredients and borrowed the shop's kitchen to make desserts for Tian Xin'er.

Everything sold in the city is expensive, and just a few pieces of jujube cake cost more than 40 Wen.If you can do it yourself, it's cheap.Even if the cooking is not as good as the selling, the precious ingredients are not too bad.

Xu Youcang felt sorry for his niece, and being described by the eldest son of the Liu family as a pipe plug made him feel extremely sad.

He originally wanted to prepare more food and drink for his niece in Fucheng for the journey back to the city, and finally came to Dacheng, where they had everything for sale, and he didn't want Tian Xin to go back and eat potatoes again.Moreover, the money earned on this trip is already enough, and more than half of the famine has been paid off, the pressure has become less, and I am not afraid of extravagance.Live life carefully, not to treat children badly and save money on children.

There is only Tian Xin in their family, and they haven't taken care of them yet, so wouldn't that be a waste of time?The injuries he and his second brother and fourth brother suffered felt meaningless.

As for other things, like my mother mentioned that I want to try more other pastries in order to sell them, Xu Youcang didn't say anything.

But the Erdaohe boys also understood that it seemed that Aunt Xu's family must have earned some money this trip.Furthermore, even if they didn’t make much money, it’s not a secret that I heard that the three brothers of the Xu family went to the county’s Wang Yuan’s family to help, and they were recommended by someone they knew.There are a few bad-mouthed women in the village who guessed how much they earned when Aunt Xu happily returned the two taels of silver from Grandma Xu's family.

But no matter how rich they are, if they were replaced by those stingy people, no matter how rich they are, they wouldn't be willing to treat them like this.

The boys drank the orange peel water, and felt deeply in their hearts. Aunt Xu's various cares along the way made them realize more deeply what kind of elder this is, and they respected him unconsciously.

Many people thought in their hearts: I have to talk to my parents when I get home.
