Today was another day when I failed to make my deskmate wait and see, showing admiration and yearning eyes.
Liu Weizhi felt sleepy listening to the bell after school. As soon as the bell rang, his deskmate immediately jumped out and followed the teacher.
I don't know why he was in such a hurry to go back.
Tomorrow, tomorrow he will bring the chocolates, those country bumpkins must have never seen such a good thing. This was given by his uncle's boss, and he was given two in total. It was so rare that he was reluctant to eat it.
When he takes it to the classroom, his deskmate will definitely ask him for advice, and maybe he will show eyes that yearn for it but can't get it.
If he is willing to bow his head to his own, it is not impossible for him to give him a little bit of a taste.
With this good wish in his arms, his steps became brisk again.
Zhang Baoguo ran back quickly all the way.
When he went back, the cake was already done, and the meals were also ready, waiting for him to go back.
He went to look at the cake first, and poked it lightly with chopsticks. It was soft and felt a bit like a chicken cake. The color of the bottom was warm yellow. As soon as he got closer, the sweet taste came straight to his nostrils, and he felt like he was about to open his mouth. .
This cake is about the size of a basin, oblate and oblate, with a layer of jam on top, and some raisins and fruit pieces scattered on it, which looks very attractive.
Zhang Weiguo chuckled: "Brother, smell it, it smells delicious. There are 5 eggs, milk powder, sun-dried flour, and snow-white sugar. There are a lot of good things in it."
That amount makes me feel distressed, this cake is really a precious item, look at these things, how can it be worthy of these good things without gold.
However, it is worth putting more good things. He thinks he can understand why the price of this thing remains high, and why some people are not discouraged by the price. Just smelling this smell is very attractive. up.
It would definitely taste better with cream.
Su Hui painted the words "Happy Birthday" on it with dark jam, because it was the same color as other jams around, so it wasn't too conspicuous, but the purpose was achieved. Looking at this cake, the twins laughed until their gums showed came, showing the joy of both of them on full display.
But the cake has to be eaten later, they have dinner first, and today's dinner is also very rich.
There is a whole piece of sweet and sour fish, steamed wild pigeon, and fried minced pork with shredded kelp. Another hot wild vegetable, as for the soup, it is made into a pumpkin cup.
Portions are also adequate.
The twins are Shou Xinggong, the two legs of the wild pigeon were given to each of their brothers, and the two wings were given to Zhang Baoguo and Zhang Weiguo, but Su Hui didn't eat them.
She has no sense of the taste of pigeon meat.
I ate a lot of sweet and sour fish.
After eating and drinking enough, after resting for a while, they formally brought the cake up. For this cake, they had a bit of restraint in eating, and kept their stomachs to eat the cake.
The cake is divided into two equal centimeters, and then delivered one by one. The first one is given to the mother, and it is also the largest piece. The part with a lot of fruits on it is specially selected. There are various kinds of fruits, including dried fruits and seasonal ones. Fruit, and canned fruit.
Followed by Zhang Baoguo, Zhang Weiguo, and last is his own.
Now there is no cake fork at this time, either use chopsticks, or put it in your mouth with your hands, it is not so particular.
As soon as he put it in his mouth, Zhang Baoguo's eyes widened.
Extremely soft and silky like milk, it melts in the mouth, and the mouth is full of sweet taste.
If you give this type of dim sum to the elderly, they should like it very much. Of course, children will also like it very much. They don’t look up when they watch the younger brothers eating, taking small bites, but they move quickly. , After a while, one piece bottomed out, and I silently picked up the second piece. Fortunately, I made a lot of weight, otherwise it would not be enough.
Everyone didn't have time to talk until all the cakes were finished. Zhang Weiguo licked his lips, a little unsatisfied: "Mom, do the cakes sold in those shops also taste like this?"
Su Hui: "There are two possibilities, one is more delicious, and the other is not so delicious."
Saying this is equivalent to not saying it, but my mother hasn't eaten it, so there is nothing I can do, Zhang Weiguo touched his belly.
"I'm so full, mom, can I continue making cakes for my next birthday? I'll help you then."
Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dingguo nodded frequently: "We will help you together when the time comes."
Even Zhang Baoguo looked expectant, but Su Hui slightly raised his eyelids: "Let's talk about it later." Let's see if she is in the mood then.
Yes, that's how willful it is.
They won't be disappointed after hearing this answer. There is still so much time left, so let's see when the time comes.
Mom is talking about being merciless now, but when the time comes, they are so coquettish, there is a high possibility that mom will agree.
After eating too much at night, Zhang Baoguo purposely walked around in the yard to digest the food. The four of them were full and went to bed late. The next day, they got up early to go to training, and then trotted to the town to go to school.
When he arrived, it was not too early or too late. He sat down in his seat, opened the book, and his deskmate also arrived. At this time, there was no formal class, so Liu Weizhi took out two colorful packages and asked loudly on purpose. : "Zhang Baoguo, my uncle gave this to me. He said it was a rare item from his superior. I haven't eaten this packaging before. I don't know what's inside. Have you ever eaten it before?"
This immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked over.
The candies wrapped in tin foil are colorful, and the female students fell in love with them after seeing them.
If it was them, they would have to keep the wrapping paper after eating it.
The people in the narration gathered around: "I haven't seen this package before."
"Yes, I haven't seen it before. Is it a new candy?"
"It should be. Look at the shape, there is nothing else but candy. Biscuits won't be packaged like this."
"Maybe, maybe it's a new one."
"Zhang Baoguo probably doesn't know, he has never seen him eat candy biscuits."
"The family is not like us."
"Yeah, why did you ask him, we haven't seen him before."
"Don't be so secretive, tell us what this is?"
"Open it and see what's inside?"
"Yes yes, let's see."
Zhang Baoguo didn't even have a chance to speak.
If it wasn't for the seat here, maybe it would be squeezed out.
"Perhaps you smashed it, and we'll share some."
Some people said this brazenly, and immediately aroused booing. This looks like a high-end product. It is a bit embarrassing to say this, but the embarrassment is the embarrassment, and there are more than one or two people who are looking forward to it.
But Zhang Weizhi didn't notice everyone's expectations, and responded directly to their words: "This is not possible, this thing is so expensive, and we can't sell it in our town. It seems that everyone doesn't know each other."
He took a special look at the tablemate who didn't talk to him at all: "Zhang Baoguo, why don't you talk, haven't you seen him?" He wasn't curious at all
He only glanced at it when he first took it out, and then he took the textbook and wrote something. He didn't know what he was writing, and he didn't know how to be serious all the way in class, and now he's pretending here.
Zhang Baoguo took a look and knew what it was. It was chocolate. It was the first time he ate it. It was a gift from brother Xie Ruixie. It was a bit bitter, but the taste was rich and smooth, with endless aftertaste.
Looking at the packaging, he has eaten more beautifully packaged ones, wrapped in iron boxes.
The supply and marketing cooperatives in the city, as well as the supermarkets in the provincial capital, sell chocolate. He still remembers the price above. For ordinary people, it is definitely a luxury, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it.
Even if you grit your teeth and buy it, you probably just buy a few to try something new.
When he went to the city, Uncle Xiao Guxiao also gave them a box once, and Uncle Limao also gave it to them once.
After all, I ate a lot.
Zhang Baoguo had been called by his name twice, and it was hard to stay silent: "I don't know, I haven't seen it before."
The answer was not what I expected, but the breath in Liu Weizhi's chest not only didn't go down, but got higher and higher.
He must be pretending, pretending to be indifferent, pretending to be as plain as water, but in fact, he may not know what he thinks in his heart.
I definitely want to eat it, but I can't hold back my face, so I have to pretend to be unmoved.
Thinking of this, Liu Weizhi smiled. At this time, the class bell rang, and the others went back to their seats slowly, their eyes were still on the two candies in front of Liu Weizhi.
Liu Weizhi lowered his voice, and said to Zhang Baoguo, "You really want to eat it? I won't give it to you!"
Zhang Baoguo: "...?"
How did you know I wanted to eat
In addition, at the same table, do you know that you are really naive and hateful
———
Su Hui cleaned up the things in the mustard space, and then went into the deep mountains again to hunt some more prey. All the plants in her mustard space were crops, and there were no living things. The only living things were raised in large tanks. You can eat fresh fish anytime you want.
In addition, some meat is frozen, and there are hares, pheasants, deer, deer, and wild boars from time to time.
In the past few years, the situation here has been very good, and there have been no large-scale disasters like ten years ago.
Therefore, the stability in the past few years has made up for some of the vitality lost due to the famine, but the supply of fine grains is still in short supply. After all, the output of rice and wheat is there, and most people still use coarse grains mixed with wild vegetables to fill their stomachs. Fine grains are a small part. It is an expensive thing that people only take out to eat on special occasions.
The output of rice and wheat is low, and their output is not increasing. It is not feasible to use them to fill the stomach. We can only grow crops with a larger harvest. Now is this period again. Secretly hidden, or destroyed, so as not to bring harm to the family, is the easiest time to start.
After this period of time has passed, its value will increase hundreds or thousands of times. As for where most people worry about where to hide it, it doesn't hold for her.
Her mustard space is the safest place, no one else can find it no matter what.
What Su Hui thought was going back and forth within the day, the time was calculated, she first went to the city to find Brother Hu, and provided him with the sauce.
He is already an acquaintance with him. After so long, Brother Hu still hasn't been able to find out the details of this person. Either he has a good background, or he has real skills. Faced with such a situation, he put away all his little thoughts , Honestly follow the rules, pay the money with one hand, and deliver the goods with the other hand, the relationship between the two is also harmonious.
Hello, hello, everyone, let's make money together.
The taste of these sauces is there, he bought it, packaged it well, it is a gift that can be sold, and made a full pot.
On the other side, Xiao Gu's situation is not bad, his status is not as good as that of Brother Hu, who is deeply entrenched in the city, but he is already well-known. Fennel will also provide high-quality rice, game, fruits, etc. These prices are also very high, especially for some rare fruits, which are small, and the price is higher than the high-quality rice.
He used these to complement other people with resources and expand the scope of business.
In this way, even if Su Hui didn't supply him frequently, he could still support that period of time by relying on those things.
In the beginning, he was completely dependent on Su Hui, but later, the proportion of other things gradually increased. Up to now, Su Hui's things still accounted for the majority, and other things can earn him a bowl of food. At least Well, the situation in his family has been greatly improved. Although the clothes in the house are afraid to be exposed for fear of being reported, he doesn't feel bad about eating at all, and everyone's face is ruddy after eating.
On the side with Brother Hu, it’s all about money transactions. On Xiao Gu’s side, he will also use other things instead. For example, if he gets good fabrics, good dry goods, etc., he will keep some on purpose. At that time, they will be counted according to their value, especially some good things that are available in other places and that they don't have here.
Xiao Gu gave a lot of rice, but he had the small head, and the big head Su Hui kept it for good things.
After making a deal with them, Su Hui hurriedly went to the stall owner selling comic books first, picked out a few comic books for a few children that they hadn't read before, and then followed him to a strange little book. courtyard.
The villain book stall owner had a smile on his face: "Last time you told me to keep some good things for you, but I put pressure on you to keep them for you, otherwise they would have been taken away by others."
He said this with a somewhat smug tone.
Su Hui's eyes fell on the box he opened. There was only one thing inside the box, which was wrapped in red cloth. When he opened the red cloth, it was a safe jade lock, the kind used by rich families for children in ancient times. What is common and uncommon is its jade material.
"Look at this quality, this water head, I have taken over so many, this one is second to none." He smiled.
It's not big, but the quality of the jade is undeniable. The skin is as creamy and smooth. Su Hui touched it lightly and nodded, very satisfied: "How much is the price?"
"This one costs four hundred, I decide, you can pay three hundred and eight."
This price is really not low. A worker, a worker with a rank and an age, can only get more than 30 yuan a month, and 380, that is a year's salary. If you buy a small piece, you can't eat or drink it. Ordinary people would definitely not be able to make jade that is still eye-catching, that is, only those who really like this kind of jade and who have a relationship so that it will not leak to the outside can afford it.
Fearing that she would scare her away with a price, he explained: "This kind of good thing, let alone a year's salary, could not be bought in ten years, and it is only in this year that this price will appear."
There is nothing wrong with this, but the price still has to be cut: "Now this thing can't be taken out. No matter how good the thing is, it is still a pearl covered in dust, and it will not see the light. I want it, and you can give me an honest price."
"You really want it? That's the lowest, the lowest is three hundred and sixty."
"Come up to a whole number, let's say three hundred and five. I brought something else this time. Would you like to accept it?"
She also carried dozens of catties in the basket this time, but the dozens of catties were not rice, but high-quality white sugar.
She grew sugar cane and refined it herself, and she didn't spend much effort. She just carried it around with the formation. In terms of value, white sugar is much higher than rice.
"Yes, of course!"
Look at this snow-white appearance, how could he not want it
He didn't do her any harm, so he paid her a price that was higher than the market price.
"anything else?"
"And rice, watermelon, strawberries, grapes."
These fruits are not available in this season, so they are even more precious.
"How about I bring it over first?"
"No hurry, no hurry, I still don't believe in your character, let's continue, continue."
"Is there any other jade like this? I like this quality, regardless of size, color, ancient or modern."
"This is not available now, I will help you pay attention."
"There are also a few calligraphy and paintings from the Tang and Song Dynasties. Last time you said that you would pay attention to them for you. They are specially kept for you. They are good things for everyone. There are also this jade pillow and this copper tripod..."
Because they were no strangers to each other, and their integrity was guaranteed, so facing Su Hui's advance reservation, he left a lot of good things and did not disappoint him.
Part of it was paid with rice, sugar, and fruit, and the rest was paid in cash.
All of a sudden, most of her inventory went out, lest she have to sell them one by one by herself.
That is to find a safe place to put it, and then the villain bookstall took people to move it away, and many things happened.
Then Su Hui went to the uncle at the waste collection station. The items there are not as high-quality as here, but there is also an advantage, that is, the quantity is large, and it is cheap and affordable.
It's not easy to put the big things in his place, but for the small ones, just hide them in the scrapped "garbage" in any corner.
There were other people around when she was channeling, Su Hui acted as if she didn't know the old man, first went to find newspapers and books, and waited until there was no one else, then the old man came over.
"Young man, you haven't come for a while. If you don't come, I will give those things to others."
Su Hui cupped her hands: "Why didn't you come, it's just that there are some delays."
The gates of the toll booths are not closed, only when they are closed in broad daylight will there be ghosts. They walked to a corner, a corner that others could see in advance, and covered it with something.
The old man took out a dilapidated and useless linen bag, which was tied loosely with a rope.
With a slight twitch, the rope untied.
"Here are some calligraphy and paintings. I don't know whether they are true or not. You can see for yourself. A picture costs three yuan."
He pulled another bag: "The ones here are cheaper, one yuan per piece."
Su Hui squatted down, opened quickly, and looked over one by one.
She doesn't look at the author, but only at the handwriting, painting skills and artistic conception. Although some are imitations, they are still valuable.
The three yuan part was specially selected by the old man, there are ten pictures in total, and Su Hui took all of them.
One yuan is more, Su Hui picked eight pieces.
Put it all in an old sack.
"Here, these are some gadgets."
He took out a small box on the table foot from a corner, and opened the secret compartment.
Inside are small items.
Pearl jewellery, gold and silver jewellery, and scattered gemstones.
"What's the price?"
"One dollar at the top, then two dollars in the next row, and at the end, five dollars in that row."
Su Hui looked around, but there was nothing good.
"Master, where are the good things these days? Just this?"
Calligraphy and painting are things that many people don't want. They are paper, which is difficult to preserve and difficult to hide.
These little things are the best sellers.
"Also, why are you in a hurry." The old man stared: "Is this one you didn't like?"
Isn't it just that the collection is a little too much, do you want to clear the inventory, why do you ask so much.
Su Hui picked up a jade lock: "This one." The style is simple, although the texture is not very good.
It's gone, old man, let's talk, it's okay, it's better than not seeing any of them.
He put away the box and looked outside. There were few people on the road.
He entered the back and called her over: "Come here and have a look, this box is reserved for you according to your request."
The box is a camphor wood box, only one corner is missing, and there are traces of repairs, but it can still be used.
There is a hidden compartment at the bottom. When it is opened, there is a jade ruyi, a set of ruby heads, and a pair of emerald rings.
Unexpectedly, the rubies and emeralds were of excellent color.
This kind of fineness, the old man rarely appears here.
"You're not disappointed with this, you take it all, three hundred yuan, no bargaining."
Su Hui nodded bluntly: "Deal!"
Then he pulled out another small box: "Look at this kind of thing."
Inside was a porcelain bowl and a slender-necked vase.
Something from the Qing Dynasty.
"Do you think it's like this? It's three yuan a piece. I didn't put the big ones here. They were all in one batch. I didn't divide the others too carefully. I will give you one by one, a total of twenty-three pieces. "
"Sure, I want it!" The price is not expensive, mainly because the ruby has won her heart.
A whole set, evenly, if it was at the owner of the villain book stall, this set would cost several hundred.
Returning with a full load, the bulk of the money that was just sold to Brother Hu and Xiao Gu was spent in this way, leaving only more than 300 yuan.
She went to look for books first, but didn't find what she wanted, so she went to the provincial capital by car, went to the library as soon as possible, found the materials she wanted, and then went to do other things.
This information was her main goal in coming to the provincial capital.
After buying the book he wanted, he had some time left to do his own activities. He happened to see a cake shop and walked over. Someone was picking up the cake with a ticket.
The cakes are all ordered in advance, and then the ticket is taken, and the bread can be bought directly. The bread does not need to be in advance, but it needs to be purchased with the ticket, money and food stamps.
Su Hui bought a piece of bread to try, and it tasted pretty good, but she can fairly say that the cake they made by themselves is better than this one.
Next, Su Hui deliberately drilled into the alley, this kind of place is most suitable for private transactions, but today seems to be some special day, people wearing red armbands often appear, even if someone wants to trade, seeing this situation, I dare not.
Su Hui felt that she was unlucky today, and was about to leave these alleys when a young man ran out from the corner of a certain alley in a hurry. He didn't see Su Hui and bumped into him, then lowered his head and said hastily, "I'm sorry." Then he continued to run, but he didn't run very far, and was caught by the red armband guarding in front. At this time, two red armbands ran over from the place where he ran out of breath, and saw him being caught by two companions. Stopped, showing a smug smile: "I let you run! See if you can run!"
Then the two people who caught him began to search him, but when the search was over, the faces of the two people changed: "Where are you hiding? I advise you to be honest! To avoid unnecessary suffering."
"What, it's impossible!" The two panting people kept walking: "We have been following him, absolutely on him!"
The young man: "Did you misunderstand? I didn't bring anything with me, so I brought some money for backup." Only the few cents found in the search, other than that, nothing else.
"Let's see, take off your clothes!"
In the end, they touched it up and down, and it was indeed gone. At this time, the short one among them, who was still out of breath, stopped Su Hui who was leaving: "You! Yes, it's just you! Stop! Say, Are you his accomplice and a capitalist? Hand over your belongings!"
