Chapter 80 Pagoda Dishes

When leaving, he adjusted his emotions and handed two salted eggs to Yang with a smile on his face as a small thank you for her time.

Yang looked at her back and felt very complicated.

Gu Yu sat at the door, listening to their conversation, but did not express any opinions.

After finishing their morning meal, Gu Jianan and his wife went back to the village.

Gu Yu really wanted to eat the pastries from the store on East Street, thinking that Wang He and his wife should go back by now!
She simply got up and walked to another road to buy pastries. Before she could leave the shop, she saw a pair of ragged brother and sister.

The boy looked in the direction of her house, stopped, turned to the door, and asked, "Master, do you collect wild vegetables here?"

Gu Yu looked at the two children and saw that the boy was about eleven or twelve years old and the girl was three or four years old. They looked skinny and unkempt. There was a trace of blood on the boy's mouth, and there were some scratches on the girl's hands.

He glanced at the burlap bag the boy was carrying in his left hand and said, "Take it, show me the wild vegetables you dug."

Hearing this, Tong Wei temporarily let go of Tong Lili's hand, took out the wild vegetables in the bag and said, "My sister and I dug these in the mountains. I wonder if my employer can accept them?"

No one had eaten these wild vegetables before. He also had no food at home and was very hungry. He took his sister to the mountains to look for food. He accidentally saw the roots of this wild grass that were very beautiful. He dug them back and cooked them. Only then did he learn that this stuff can be eaten. eat.

He thought that this kind of food was fresh and had never appeared on the market before. Maybe there was a way to do it, so he dug some up and sold it.

It's a pity that he is young and the wild vegetables are new varieties. Even though he said it was okay, restaurants and restaurants still wouldn't accept them.

If the restaurant refuses to accept the talkative ones, they will ask the two brothers to leave, while the restless ones will push the two brothers and sisters. There is even a person who is watching the dishes being served, calling them beggars and even beating them.

Passing by Gu's Food Shop, he actually didn't want to come in, but the moment he saw Gu Yu, a voice in his heart told him to ask, otherwise he would really starve to death.

Gu Yu's eyes lit up when he saw the wild vegetables. He bent down and picked up a long, white and plump pagoda dish that looked like a silkworm.

"One penny, one pound?" Tong Wei said in disbelief, her eyes widening.

A rough estimate of the wild vegetables in the burlap bag is about ten kilograms. If the owner, who looks like a fairy, accepts it, it means that the brother and sister will earn ten kilograms of silver today, and they can buy two or three kilograms of whole grains to fill their stomachs. abdomen.

"Well, one penny and a pound." Gu Yu had been thinking about how to do business and use the money openly. I have never paid attention to the wild vegetables and weeds growing beside water, wetlands, fields, wastelands, etc.

The pagoda vegetables are washed and soaked. It is as delicious as soaked bamboo shoots.

These wild vegetables are not worth a lot of money. Unless the people in the village can't survive, there will be people who dig wild vegetables every day and come back to eat them.

People who live a decent life grow fruits and vegetables at home.

Although the life of the villagers in Banshan Village is also difficult, their families are still able to survive and are not so hungry that they eat wild vegetables every day. It can only be said that it is not enough compared to the previous ones, but more than enough compared to the inferior ones!

This also leads to the fact that most of the wild vegetables in the mountains rot in the mountains and serve as fertilizer for the earth.

Some people dig it up and sell it. You can buy it and brew it. When you leave the stall, you give a small plate to the customers to eat, so as to win the hearts of the customers.

He brought the brother and sister into the house to weigh them. The pagoda vegetables in the bag were five taels short of twelve kilograms. Gu Yu calculated the weight of the twelve kilograms and said, "There are twelve kilograms of wild vegetables. Keep the twelve cents." Again. He said: "If you still dig it up, you can send it to me. You can also send other wild vegetables."

After their parents died, only the brother and sister depended on each other. In the past two years, due to their young age and lack of strength. You can't cultivate the fields, and you can't steal the adults.

Two acres of land at home were rented by my uncle for farming. The brothers and sisters are given fifty kilograms of grain a year, but this year's grain has not been collected yet, and the tank has already reached the bottom.

Now that wild vegetables can be sold for money, little Tong Wei showed a happy smile on her face. But just now the scale clearly weighed eleven and a half kilograms, but the boss said it was twelve kilograms: "My boss, it should be eleven and a half kilograms, not twelve kilograms."

"I said it was twelve pounds, it was twelve pounds. Collect the money quickly and leave my shop." Tong Wei pointed out that she weighed the wrong things, thinking that since this child can understand the scale at such a young age, he still said it bluntly. come out.

Looking at his sparkling eyes, he praised: This guy has clear eyes and good character.

Tong Wei's mind was sharp, but she couldn't understand the meaning of Gu Yu's words, and a mist appeared in her tears.

Thinking of his father's dying warning, he suppressed the tears in his eyes and said, "Does my boss mean to harvest all kinds of wild vegetables?"

"I'll take whatever you dig up." Gu Yu didn't know much about the affairs of Tong Wei's brother and sister's family, so he had an intuition in his heart when he saw how pitiful they looked.

Something might have happened to the two little guys at home. Otherwise, how could a child with parents live such a sloppy life?

Facing the poor children, she could show kindness and collect the wild vegetables dug by Tong Wei.

As for other adults, there are so many villagers in Banshan Village who are struggling for life. The first choice for help is the villagers of their own village, not outsiders.

Although Tong Wei is young, she has seen through many people's hearts after experiencing changes in her family.

Gu Yu didn't need to figure out what he meant by what he said next. He understood what it meant. He pulled Tong Lili and bowed deeply, saying gratefully, "Thank you, my boss, for your love for us brothers and sisters."

Then he announced his name and said: "My name is Tong Wei, and next to me is my sister Tong Lili. We live in Hongshi Village. My boss needs wild vegetables. I will dig them up tomorrow."

"Red Rock Village." The name of this village was familiar to her! I made an appointment with the two little guys to deliver wild vegetables the day after tomorrow, and went to the pastry shop to buy five kilograms of pastries and ate them with gusto.

Xu Xi came to work at noon and asked: "Xiao Xi, are there two children in your village? The boy is named Tong Wei and the girl is named Tong Lili."

Xu Xi, who was stopped when she just came to work, thought for a moment, remembered who Gu Yu was referring to and said, "Aunt Yu, the two children you are talking about should be the two children from Uncle Gou Sheng's family."

"Oh!" Gu Yu told Xu Xi that she and her brother and sister were harvesting wild vegetables.

When Xu Xi first came to work at Gu Yu's place, she was thin and small.

In the past few days, I ate well in the shop, slept well, grew a lot taller, and gained a lot of fat on my face.

He slowly talked about Tong Wei's brother and sister: "The Tong family is a big family in the village just like ours. Tong Wei's mother had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to Lili, which caused the root cause of the disease, and she died within two years."

"Uncle Gou Sheng went to the mountains to cut firewood two years ago. He accidentally fell off a cliff and died. When I was still in the village, I knew that his family had two acres of land cultivated by his uncle, and he gave the two brothers fifty kilograms every year. Food, I won’t know what happens next when I get out.”

She came to the shop to work, but she never went back.

Only occasionally did her parents come to visit her when they came to the county town to attend the market. She didn't know what was going on in the village now.

Gu Yu asked about Uncle Tong Wei's personality again, and Xu Xi said at a loss for words: "His uncle is okay, but his aunt, Yu Gu also knows that people's hearts are unpredictable, not to mention that some people have passed away, and the living people will inevitably be a little biased in their actions. .”
