1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 33 The early bird catches the worm
It snowed just now in Beijing.

It's not very big, and a thin layer covers the entire yard.

The trees in the yard are covered in silver, which is very beautiful.

"Mom, are you up?" Luo Tao called Su Guilan from the courtyard to the main hall.

"What's the matter? She started yelling this morning." Su Guilan complained very much that Luo Tao called her so early.

It's cold today!Su Guilan works so hard and knows that the bed is comfortable.

Look at this day, it's past six o'clock, and the old couple are still sitting on the kang.

Neither washing nor cooking, why wait for it to be ready?

…………

The weather has been cold recently, so the whole family skipped breakfast when we had a break on weekends. If we were really hungry, we would eat some fruit biscuits and make do until lunch.

It doesn't matter if you want to eat, you can make it yourself.

No one stopped me, and I didn't ask for gas and condiment money.

It makes sense to say that it's okay, but it doesn't stop people from being lazy, and they won't be able to cook for themselves even if they starve to death.

Fortunately, there are a few people on the street who are not afraid of the wind and cold.

From September 1979, the central government announced: "Family sideline businesses and rural market trade are auxiliary and supplementary to the socialist economy and cannot be criticized as the so-called tail of capitalism."

There are many people who want to try it out in the capital, and I have seen a lot of them in the past six months.

However, there are people who take care of it. Just shouting "Here comes the red armband" at any time will be more intimidating than anything else.

This breakfast vendor says that if you do something wrong, it will definitely help if you call me like this. This is not just as simple as a fine, but there are also some unclear rules.

For example, he found a way to open the small restaurant he went to last time, otherwise he couldn't open it.

He had a way, and he was still driving in an alley, so he had to avoid people more or less.

The country has not yet officially recognized the status of self-employed individuals, but it will soon. The first self-employed people will appear in Beijing in October next year.

"Boss, what do you have here?"

When Luo Tao left the small courtyard, he was wearing a big thick gray coat and a "Lei Feng hat" that was popular for a while.

Two wind-catching ears are what is most needed, and a pair of cotton gloves hang around the neck.

Su Guilan spent several nights personally making several pairs. Everyone in the family has them, including Zhu Lin's family, and Lao Zhangtou also has them.

The lower body looks very bulky, and he wears mink fur trousers. Even the pants are made of tiger skin, and the trousers are one-sided navy blue.

The legs of the trousers were frayed in several places and I didn't want to change them. The old ones were comfortable to wear.

"Hey! We're not some kind of boss, we just earn a living." The middle-aged man was afraid that Luo Tao would call him "boss". That's right, it's just the beginning. It's better to use this word less now.

"There are steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and millet porridge. You decide what you like to eat and I'll make it for you."

The boss is very enthusiastic about introducing what he sells, this is called service!Warm and generous, innocent smile.

After telling you something, you were all surprised!Later, the smile started to be fake, and it looked weird, with a grin that had no teeth.

Are you secretly eating leeks from the box and showing your teeth for fear of others finding out?

A frame car had a bench about the same height as the wheels tied to the handlebars and body, and a wooden board was made behind the car to block it.

There is a stove in the car, it should be used to heat the things for sale!The buns are packed in a wooden box, and the porridge is packed in an iron bucket on the stove.There are also cages.

Luo Tao straightened his hat with his hand and asked: "What kind of stuffing are there in the buns?"

"Oh, there are vegetable buns and sugar buns."

"Then here are six green vegetables, three sugar packets, and three bowls of rice porridge."

"Okay!" The boss picked up the bag with his hands and counted the money with his mouth.

"A green vegetable bun costs three cents, a sugar bun costs five cents, and there are three bowls of porridge." What did he think of when he said this?
I didn’t know how to say it. I just sold it and didn’t think about how to serve the porridge to others.

"Um, are you sorry? I can't sell this porridge to you." The boss said this unfortunate incident very apologetically. "What's wrong? Is it gone?" Luo Tao asked him twice.

"No, it's not that there's nothing left, it's that there's no bowl for you to take away."

“Isn’t that what those bowls are?”

"What are you talking about? These are for the guests who are eating here. If you want to take them away, how can I sell them in the future?" the boss explained.

Luo Tao looked at it and saw, yes!There is a small long table next to it, with five or six small matzas.

"Why don't you serve me a bowl first? I can eat it here." You can see that he has already taken a big step and sat on the horse.

"Okay, what about the remaining two bowls?" The boss asked Luo Tao what to do with the remaining two bowls.
"Wait until I finish eating! Let's try some steamed buns first."

Luo Tao didn't think about this headache anymore. Someone needs to come to have breakfast. If you don't come in person, you may not be able to eat everything. It's hard to handle just the soup.

Luo Tao really wanted to say: It’s okay if it can’t be packed. The packing box should have a plastic bag if it doesn’t have one!

well!Think too much.It’s better to eat your fill first and then talk about it!
"I got you"

He picked up a bowl, wiped it with a white rag that he didn't know was clean, and opened the lid.

The big spoon sank gently, turned slowly, and gently lifted it up again. The goods were very abundant, and the boss was a conscientious businessman.

The porridge was put into the bowl, and he wiped the rim of the bowl with a rag to drain out the water. Then he picked up the buns and porridge just wrapped in oil paper and put them in front of Luo Tao.

Luo Tao was really hungry, he picked up the bun and bit into it, ignoring the heat.

What you eat is green vegetables, not sugar buns. If you are hungry, you can’t say that you have no brains or common sense.It’s exciting to think about.

Let’s just say, don’t act like a bear, otherwise you will be famous in the place where you live.

The filling is good but a little bland, and the boss is too reluctant to add salt.

A bite of steamed buns and a bite of porridge, eating this meaningful breakfast on the street of Huguo Temple in the cold weather.

In just a few minutes, six vegetable buns and a bowl of porridge were eaten. Don't be surprised why Luo Tao ate so quickly. It was too cold, and the porridge became cold after a while.

If you don't eat it quickly, it will be a cold meal, and the steamed buns won't even come out steaming.

There was nothing left in the bowl, so I started the disc. It was a good habit, I could eat as much as I wanted.

I didn’t feel like sleeping until I finished eating. After finishing eating, I realized that this bowl was not simple!

Luo Tao flipped through it secretly, and he knew what was written at the bottom.

"The Chenghua Year System of the Ming Dynasty" is well written!Saved a lot of trouble.

Luo Tao was quite disdainful when he used to listen to whoever had a meal and picked up a leak, but he never imagined that he would have such luck.

Look at the painting decoration, it should be Guateng!I glanced at the bowls maliciously and felt that they were all about the same, so they couldn’t be the same set!

As soon as the eyeballs moved, there was a calculation in his heart.

I discussed with the boss whether I could lend him two bowls to take the porridge home first, and then deliver it to him. I also said that I would give him the two yuan so that I wouldn't lose money even if I didn't come back.

The boss can think about it. In the early years, takeout was available in this capital, and you could also pick it up yourself, but you had to pay a deposit.

Luo Tao asked the boss to use the bowls he had used just now, pretending to help himself, and took the opportunity to test the bowls.

Unfortunately, the bottom of the bowl was empty. Apart from the painting, there was nothing else like it. Luo Tao complained about why they were so unsatisfactory.

Haven't you ever heard that "a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier"?It hurts to hold my face.

I bought a few more vegetable bags, paid the money, and took two bowls of porridge home.

After about 10 minutes, Luo Tao turned around and returned the washed dishes to the boss, who then refunded the deposit.

Everything is so natural, and my heart is about to explode with joy. What is a child of luck? This is that eating a meal must be so thrilling.

I went home humming a little tune. When I got home, I wanted to enjoy it.
