Chapter 184 Buying New Year's Goods

The four-year-old girl sweetly called her uncle and aunt, not only the people behind the counter were happy, but even the passing adults looked at her with smiles.

In the era of patriarchy, some little girls can still be liked by many people, especially the cute and good-looking little girls, after all, people yearn for beautiful things.

Wu Hao chatted with a few people and carried his sister to the warehouse of the store to get some woven bags. There is no need to pay for this thing, and the treat is not in vain.

Nowadays, there are not many plastic woven bags, but the commonly used plastic bags in the future are rarely seen in rural areas and small towns. People buy tofu and put them in bowls and bowls.

Buy a large piece of meat in a paper bag, buy a piece of fish and carry it with a straw rope, break the corn and carry a basket woven from willow sticks, and take the bottle of vinegar and soy sauce by yourself.

Buy apples with a net bag, buy bulk candies and wrap them in paper, and put chickens, ducks and geese in the net bag to take the train.

Wu Hao held his sister in one hand and carried a woven bag under one armpit, and pointed to peanuts and melon seeds and other roasted goods and said, "It's full."

"Full?"

Not only the young salesperson was shocked, but also the people at the counter next to him felt incredible. The woven bag was one and a half feet wide and one meter high.

Wu Hao said with a smile: "My family has many relatives, so it's fine to bring everything that weighs ten or twenty catties together.

"My grandma has a lot of family members." Xiaodoubao rubbed her little finger, trying to count how many people there were, but she found out that there were quite a lot of people, but who was there anyway.

forget.

This is a gift, and it's not short of money, the saleswoman nodded: "I'll pick out a familiar outfit for you."

The saleswoman was so rare about the small bean buns, she definitely wouldn't miss the portion, and might even give some more. Wu Hao didn't stare at her, and turned around to buy a bag.

It can be used when you go into the mountains and leave it at home. If this aunt is personally contracted for the counter, she will definitely buy a few more bags.

People who are more particular will not let their children take things for nothing, and those who love to take advantage of it are eager to do so.

Nowadays, it doesn’t cost much to buy things for the Chinese New Year. He just comforted his mother and said that it can be spent for 1000 yuan. In fact, after buying everything today, it will not cost 100 yuan.

Xiaodoubao listened to her eldest brother shopping, but she kept her head down, and she took melon seeds out of the bag with her little hands, put them in her mouth, and just ate them.

Seeing that the floor of other people's stores is very clean, she dare not throw things casually after her mother sweeps the floor at home, and she has developed a habit, and she will not throw things casually on other people's floors when she goes out.

Let the eldest brother put her down and eat a few melon seeds. There are too many melon seeds in the little hand, so he raised his hand and stuffed it into the elder brother's trouser pocket.

The aunt has been observing, and she can't help laughing when she sees her movements. You say she is sensible, she really doesn't throw things around, and say she is ignorant, throw it in the elder brother's pocket.

Wu Hao had nothing to do with her, he walked to the uncle's counter and squeezed frozen pears and frozen persimmons, and there were only a dozen or so of each.

There are many people shopping in the morning, but there are fewer people in the afternoon. The leftovers are not sold, and they are a little soft in the house.

The uncle smiled and said, "It's just one for the child after it's melted. If you want to buy more, you can go to the warehouse with me to get it."

After hearing this, Xiaodoubao hurriedly raised her head and stared at Dongli. She had been thinking about it for a long time, and she was too embarrassed to take it, so she looked at her elder brother.

"Put the same in one bag." Wu Hao said, picking the softest frozen pear for his younger sister, and leading her to follow the uncle.

The frozen pears will drip when they melt, and the small bean buns can’t help but want to eat them after rubbing them with their hands. Afraid that the clothes will get dirty, they insist on carrying the frozen pears to the warehouse.

The elder brother and the uncle filled the frozen pears, and she squatted beside and took a bite. The frozen pears had a lot of water, so she stuck her mouth on them and sucked them.

Wait until the water dries up and raise your head: "Ah~ sweet!"

Wu Hao looked at his sister dotingly, and let her eat there, there is nothing to wash and eat now.

You don't get sick if you don't do anything clean, and the children in the countryside make them look like mud monkeys in summer. The more you wash them, the less you get sick.

Down to earth and easy to feed.

Not all frozen pears are sweet, some are watery, and some are very sweet. He picked up a frozen persimmon to taste.

It's different from frozen pears. The ones shipped in one batch are very sweet, and the next batch may be astringent. Even people today can't eat them, and their tongues can't bear it.

The uncle smiled and said, "Buy with confidence, this batch of persimmons and frozen pears are very good."

Wu Hao nodded, it's really sweet, fruit is what you pay for, you can't spend money on those that are a bit rotten, not to mention the bad ones, it's better to spend more money to buy delicious ones if you throw them away.

I eat frozen pears in the warehouse in winter. The little girl is not cold at all. She licks the pears before throwing them away. I have forgotten the frozen pears in my memory. This is the first time I eat them.

He took out his small handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his hands, feeling that his little hands were sticky, so he looked at his elder brother.

"Go into the house to wash later." Wu Hao and the uncle carried the bag and walked out, followed by the little girl.

After putting the things on the ox cart, Wu Hao took out a few frozen pears for the children of the family to eat, and led his younger sister into the house to wash her hands.

He went back to the store to pay, but he didn't see his parents. He left his sister in front of the uncle's counter. The salesmen around here knew the little girl, and they would help to see that she couldn't lose it. He carried a bag of fried seeds and went out.

The uncle picked up another frozen persimmon and handed it to her: "Eat another one."

Xiaodoubao shook his head and patted his stomach: "No time, it's cold."

The greedy cat can bear it for a while, and sits on the kang to eat whatever she wants at home. Her family has a lot to buy, so she raises her head and starts chatting with the people nearby.

When Wu Hao came back, he was quite happy to see her chattering. He nodded to a few people, and picked her up to go to another warehouse.

Now there are few fireworks, and the shops do not display them for sale. They are all provided to work units and people with a little energy.

The store leader has already explained to the warehouse manager, he just needs to pay.

Xiaodoubao didn't remember fireworks, so she might have an impression when she put them up. She pointed to bunches of brightly colored hand-cranked flowers and asked, "What's this big pot?"

"Flowers."

This thing is safe to fire, and it is most suitable for little girls, so Wu Hao directly bought two bundles, a total of [-] sticks.

It cost a penny a piece, and it didn't cost much in total.

"What are bark flowers?" Xiao Doubao scratched her head, she recognized the firecrackers, but she didn't know what bark flowers were.

"You'll know when it's released." Wu Hao couldn't explain it clearly to her, but instead thought of some women whose nickname is Dabaihua.

Northeast called the woven bags silk bags, and he took out two woven bags to hold firecrackers. He bought a few small foreign whips and medium whips.

Small foreign whips cost nine cents a piece and ring a hundred times, and there are Er Tijiao and Ma Leizi, too.

Two kicks are considered expensive, nine cents each, and marlezi six cents, and most people can buy ten or eight at most.

It's really rare for him to buy several sets at once.

If you don't set off firecrackers, is that still Chinese New Year?

I bought some fireworks. There is a kind of slender paper tube. After being lit, colored balls of various colors shoot up into the sky. They are called colorful bead tubes, also called magic bullets, which are relatively advanced.

There were exactly ten bundles in one bundle, and Wu Hao came straight to five bundles. The warehouse manager looked at him like he was looking at a prodigal.

For ordinary people, if you buy two or a few, you will be able to reach the top of the sky. This kid buys more than many big leaders and rich people.

If it wasn't for the greeting from above, he would have wanted to buy less.

There were too few types of fireworks, so Wu Hao bought some Diamond Monkeys, and the storekeeper helped him get a bag to pay the money together.

I put the things in the car, carried my sister back to the store to find my parents, and found the two after half a circle.

His father is holding red paper, clothes and a lot of things, and his mother is responsible for picking the goods.

Wu Hao secretly smiled, women in any era love to go shopping, men only carry bags.

In the past, my younger sister was handed over to my parents, and he went to buy rice noodles and corn noodles. There were too many animals in the family, and corn noodles were consumed a lot.

When the donkeys are bred, many animals can be fed by selling musk, and some investment must be made in the early stage.

Wu Hao bought some snacks and a lot of burnt paper that were not available in rural stores, and put these things in the car. His parents and sister also came out.

Gao Lijuan put down her things and said: "I also bought some chicken, duck and goose meat to send to your grandma. The old lady is reluctant to kill chickens to eat."

"Go to Daji." Wu Weiguo put down his things and let his wife get into the car. The chickens, ducks and geese in Daji are cheap, and he wants to buy live ones and save them for the New Year.

Nowadays, most of the people who visit are carrying live chickens.

Wu Hao went to the restaurant to take out the carriage and followed behind. The market on their side was relatively primitive.

The things for sale are also things that they can't use or can't bear to eat. They can be brought to the market and exchanged for some pocket money.

It is precisely because of this that there are even many barterers, each taking what he needs.

It's the Chinese New Year, even in the afternoon, there are still many people in the market, and the road in the middle is wide enough for a horse-drawn carriage to walk across.

"Mom, mom, it's so pretty!" Xiaodoubao yelled, pointing to a stall, her family had money, and she wasn't as embarrassed to buy this or that as other children.

I don’t want the ones that are too big, and I don’t want to let go of the small ones.

Two cars were parked on one side, Wu Hao didn't get out of the car, he looked at the things in the car in front, and glanced there casually.

The stall owner should be regarded as a relatively professional marketer. The floor is covered with canvas, and there are many small objects on it.

Glass hairpins, rubber holsters for tying hair, the kind of black mesh buns used by old ladies to wrap their pimples; there are also some hair rope key chains and the like.

Seeing that her daughter liked it, Gao Lijuan wanted to buy it herself, so she immediately paid for it, and bought some for her mother by the way.

Xiaodoubao shook his head and wanted to put it on, but when he touched the hat on his head, he had no choice but to take the hairpin and walk to the elder brother to gesture.

Seeing the booth diagonally opposite, he recognized something again, pointed at it and shouted: "Sells big candy!"

"Buy it." Wu Hao asked his father to look at the things, and led his sister to buy a big pond.

It is also called Kanto sugar. It is mostly kneaded into a round shape in the Guan, so it is called Tanggua, and here it is kneaded into long strips or squares, so it is called a large piece of sugar.

During the Spring Festival, offerings to the Stove Lord include wine, steamed buns, vegetables, and a large piece of candy.

There is a legend that after eating a large piece of pond, the Stove Lord would be able to promise good deeds to the heavens, but the children ate them all.

Kanto sugar is fermented and processed with pure natural foods such as millet and malt. It is considered a pure natural food, and it is healthier than those high-grade toffees of later generations.

It is crispy, crunchy and dregs-like to bite. Many children like to eat it. Some families in the Northeast also make thin sugar, which is sticky like honey.

Wu Hao bought two catties, gave one piece to his sister, and led her to a stall not far away to pack it up.

I bought six ducks, four big geese, and seven or eight chickens. These poultry could not move with their legs bound, so they were picked up and thrown into the car.

I was almost done shopping, and I wanted to drive to the other side of Daji to find the people in the village and go home.

As a result, the people selling mountain goods nearby saw that he was generous and bought a lot of things, so they all came over to strike up a conversation, Wu Hao didn't need those things.

After exchanging some pleasantries, Lao Wu was asked to drive away. There was a large circle of people not far in front of him, and it looked very lively. All the people from the village who came to the market were here.

Li Erhuai's screams and cursing could be heard from quite a distance.

Two cars stopped beside, and Xiaodoubao stood up and jumped: "Hurry up, big pot! Hurry up!"

她最爱看李二坏挨揍了。

Wu Hao picked her up and squeezed in to see, this kid was getting a haircut, Northeast is called a shave, and the man who cut his hair was an old man with a razor and a clipper in his hand.

This kid was not beaten, Xiaodoubao's face was full of disappointment, and he was happy to see him screaming in pain.

The old man shaved the hair around his head with a razor, and cut it with a clipper on the top of his head, and this old-fashioned clipper has a problem with pulling the hair.

The hair clipper caught the hair, and Li Erhuai tilted his head to the side as soon as it hurt, and pulled out several hairs at once, which hurt and scratched.

"Oh my god, hiss~" He sucked in the cold air in pain, scratched his head with his hands and cursed: "Old Ji Deng, are you going to shave your head or make me bald?"

This boy cut his head from the beginning, and his mouth was dishonest. His father slapped the back of the head twice and ignored him, leading his wife for a walk.

The old man saw that the kid was pretty rough, and he didn't like him, so he slapped him and scolded: "You are so honest, should I earn money for you to shave your head, or earn money for you to scold me?"

The stool used for haircutting was high, and Li Erbai hopped his butt forward and landed on both feet, turned his head and stared: "Oh, old lamp, try hitting me again!"

The old man was not a good stubble either, he slapped him on the forehead and cursed: "Made! Ben, you are so tall!"

"The three grandchildren in my family are all skinnier than you, which one I have not convinced! You are lucky to meet me!"

Li Erhuai put his hands on his hips and raised his head: "Damn it! You're pretending to be like me! Try to touch me!"

"Hey!" The old man sneered and took out a two-foot-long riding whip from his backpack. This was a whip commonly used in the lock period, and it was very strong.

The old man with this thing is not easy to mess with. He grabbed Li Erbai and whipped him on the buttocks. It hurts to have big cotton pants for defense.

It's enough to hit someone else's child, but the old man didn't even think about beating him to death, so he let go.

Li Erhuai ran to the side before rubbing his butt, glaring at the old man: "Oh, fuck me!"

He was not convinced even though he could snarl, and was thinking whether to kneel down and burn paper for the old man, when the second daughter-in-law came back and kicked him from behind: "You are going home, Sha Lengdi!"

At this time, anyone who is naughty can hit him twice, everyone doesn't care, and the second daughter-in-law doesn't say anything.

Li Erhuai refused to accept it, and pointed out: "No more cuts! Old Jideng plucked my hair."

He's used to being beaten, it's okay to beat me, but it's not okay to pull my hair.

The old man took the whip away angrily: "I really won't cut it for him!"

"Don't tell me!" The second daughter-in-law pulled Li Erhuai and pointed at his head: "Half-lakji is like a dog chewing on it, it's finished."

"Oh!" The old man's eyes were straightened angrily, and he pulled out his whip and waved: "What do you mean by a dog? Get lost!"

The second daughter-in-law has a bad mouth, so she said it casually, and she was not rude, and she called the old man wrong, so she hurriedly said: "Master, don't be angry, I said bald mouth, you cut this hair off."

Don't look at the head being gnawed by the scolding dog, it's really not a big deal, people who cut their hair are often scolded like this these days.

After a few words of persuasion from everyone, the old man got used to it, picked up the clipper and said, "Don't let him move his ears."

The second daughter-in-law nodded and pulled her son to sit down, and stretched out her hands to pull the ears on both sides. Li Erhuai hid the fader, and the ear hurt even more.

Mom really beat him up, he couldn't afford to offend him, he twisted his body and shouted: "You let me go, I have to fuck him!"

Li Erbai grinned his teeth in pain, and Xiaodoubao couldn't close his mouth in joy as he stood beside him.
