Baoyao

Chapter 24
There are quite a lot of people in Zhuangzi, Mrs. Zhou and Aunt Hua greet everyone when they see them, Qiaohong also calls people, but Qiaozhen doesn't know anyone, she just smiles and remembers what Zhoushi and Qiaohong call others.

The roads in their Zhuangzi are not very good, they are all dirt roads, not too wide, with potholes, but fortunately, they are still dry. If it rains, I am afraid that this road will not be able to walk.

After leaving their Zhuangzi, I walked all the way to the east. The road was much better and more spacious. Many people were like them, walking in twos and threes. Some were pushing rack carts, some were carrying baskets, and some were empty-handed. They're all going to the meeting.

After walking for nearly two miles, the road was better, wide and level, and Qiaozhen couldn't help frowning. Why is there such a big gap between this road and the road in their village?

After walking a few more steps, Qiaozhen could see the shadowy figures and houses in front of him.Those houses are much better than those in his own village.

Finally at the meeting, Qiaozhen calculated in his heart that this village is only about three miles away from his own Zhuangzi, but the difference is huge, the houses in the village are generally much better than his own Zhuangzi.The road is also much better.Why is there such a big difference?Qiao Zhen really doesn't understand.

Qiaozhen shook off the doubts in his heart and began to look seriously.

It will be very big, there will be many people, there will be constant hawking, and there will be everything to eat, wear, and play.

Mrs. Zhou found a corner and put down the egg basket, and began to shout: "Eggs are on sale, eggs are cheap, come and buy them."

Qiaozhen looks funny looking at her mother, this corner is a bit back, and there are not many people, but Qiaozhen also understands that you must pay for a good location, mother must be reluctant, so she can only look for the corner, if there is someone who collects money, mother must be To run with a basket.

Zhou's was selling, Qiaozhen and Qiaohong saw that they were not needed, so they led Shengzi to wander around the meeting.

Qiaozhen looked carefully, and found that the cloth and ready-made clothes sold at the meeting were not high-end fabrics, they were generally worn at home, and there were almost no mid-range ones, even high-end ones could not be sold here.

After observing, she found that her family was not suitable for such a business. Without capital, experience, and people, it must not work.

Qiaozhen looked at the gadgets for sale again, but she still shook her head, business is not good.

Then Qiaozhen looked at the food again, and she was also a little bit greedy for the snacks in her hometown, she hadn't eaten them for a long time, so it's good to have a look if you don't have money.

Huh?Qiaozhen frowned, why is there no food she wanted to find?She remembered Hu spicy soup, meat buns, cold noodles, jelly noodles, hot dry noodles, mutton soup, fire, and mutton soup stewed noodles. These foods are very famous in their hometown. Why didn't she see them for sale?
There were a few food stalls at the meeting, but the food was very mediocre. Qiaozhen saw many people go to eat. The business was very good, and the stall owners were too busy.

When people who have eaten well get up, the stall owner puts the bowls they have eaten in the water basin and rinses them, then throws them into the water and then serves them to others.

Qiao Zhen frowned, this is not hygienic at all, not to mention the internal organs of the bowl, many people don't know if they have infectious diseases, but why no one picks on the fault and says the bowl is dirty?

Anyway, such a coincidence is really unbearable, she leads Qiaohong and Shengzi away suspiciously.

At another booth, Qiaozhen continued to observe, while Qiaohong looked at Shengzi.

"Auntie, Auntie, here, sweet." Qiaozhen was interrupted by the childish voice.

She looked down, and it was Shengzi who was beside her, raising his head, and handed him the thing in his hand, and he was also chewing one in his mouth.

this is?Qiaozhen recognized it, and she looked not far away, and realized that it was the skin of sweet millet stalks.

Sweet millet stalks are somewhat similar to sugar cane, the difference is that it is not as thick as sugar cane, it is thinner, similar to corn stalks, and its outer skin is also blue, unlike sugar cane which is black and red.

In addition, it does not have as much water as sugarcane, nor is it as sweet as sugarcane. It is a local plant, and people with better conditions will buy it and eat it, especially children.

What Shengzi held in his hand was the skin of sweet millet stalks, just like sugarcane husks. Some people didn’t want them. There was a seller not far away.

Seeing Shengzi chewing with gusto, with a small face full of excitement, seeing the hand he extended to her, Qiaozhen felt sad for a while.

She held back the tears in her eyes, hugged Shengzi and said: "Auntie won't eat it, Shengzi will eat it."

Qiaozhen looked at the sweet millet stalk not far away. She couldn't afford to buy it for Shengzi now. She believed that one day she would be able to afford it, and she would not let Shengzi pick up the skin to eat again.

Shengzi followed Qiaozhen and Qiaohong while eating. After a while, Shengzi couldn't move anymore, and said in a childish voice, "Gu, Shengzi wants to eat."

Qiaozhen followed his gaze, that is?stuffed peas!Qiaozhen recognizes this kind of food, and she also likes to eat it very much.

Qiaozhen didn't want to buy it at first, but a picture of Shengzi holding a sweet millet stalk skin suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. She didn't hesitate anymore and walked forward.

Pea stuffing costs eight cents a catty. She thought about the three cents in her bosom, and asked the boss if she could sell it for two cents.

The man selling pea stuffing smiled and said: "Girl, how many rich people can there be at this meeting, and if the children want to eat, they will buy it for one penny and sell as much as they want. Girls come for two pennies?"

Qiaozhen let out a sigh secretly, just sell it.

The stall owner weighed the pea stuffing, then wrapped it in a vegetable leaf and gave it to Qiaozhen. Qiaozhen looked at it and found that it was not much. The thing was made of porcelain and pressed on a scale, so it didn't look like a lot of money.

After eating this sound, Qiaohong would be gone if she ate a little more. Qiaozhen thought about it, and she took out the last penny and bought another penny.

She put a penny of pea stuffing in her bosom, which she was going to give to grandma Chen when she went home, then turned around and gave the pea stuffing in her hand to Shengzi.

"Thank you, aunt." Shengzi took it happily, and his affection for his aunt has improved a lot in his heart. The aunt actually bought him delicious food. This has never happened before, whether it is a mother The grandma who returned him never bought him food.

The little guy ate bite by bite, Qiaozhen smiled and patted Shengzi's head.

Shengzi didn't finish all the pea stuffing, he ate half of it, then looked at the pea stuffing reluctantly, and made up his mind for a long time to pass the pea stuffing to the aunt.

"Auntie, you eat." Qiaozhen was taken aback by Shengzi's cuteness. She didn't love him for nothing. If she was married, she would definitely not be like him, but she was a little sad. Shengzi was only two years old, so sensible, Rare.

"Auntie won't eat it, Shengzi will eat it, give your sister a bite." Qiaozhen said with a smile, and then she looked at Shengzi who was covered with pea stuffing at the corner of her mouth.

The pea stuffing is made of peas, with dried persimmons inside. It looks yellow, tastes sweet, sweet, and soft. The elderly, children and women like it more.

However, because it is yellow, there will be yellow scum left in the mouth after eating. Many adults will say to children: "Look at what you ate, after taking a bite, it's like eating shit, and you haven't wiped it clean."

Qiaozhen also knows that this metaphor is not good, but it is really yellow and ugly. She raised her hand and wiped the sides of Shengzi's mouth.

Shengzi smiled at Auntie, then handed something to Qiaohong's mouth, Qiaohong took a small bite, and said in her mouth: "It's delicious, Shengzi eat it."
