Li Jin got up before six o'clock in the morning and ate a bowl of noodles with clear soup and little water.
Now it is estimated that it is past nine o'clock. After all, his body is only a young man of about eighteen years old. It is when he is growing up, and now he feels that his stomach is empty.
You can buy two buns to eat.
Li Jin walked along Xinglintang Street to the end, then turned right, and in less than three minutes, it was the main street of this town.
The terrain on this side of the town is low, but the ground is extremely flat, making it easy to build houses, and there are seven or eight small villages around. Therefore, this main street is always busy at all times.
There is a bun shop at the intersection of the main street. The buns are the size of an adult's fist, the skin is white and soft, and the steam is steaming.
The proprietress looked at Li Jin's good face, and felt that she had seen it before, but she couldn't remember.
But this did not prevent her from saying hello to selling buns: "Young man, do you want to eat buns?"
Li Jin was not shy now, and asked, "Madam, how do you sell the steamed buns?"
The proprietress spoke cheerfully.
"One penny for vegetarian stuffing and one penny for meat."
She thought that if she saw such a handsome young man, she would never forget it.
After all, her brother is fourteen this year, and as soon as next year is over, it should be said that she will get married. She has been looking for a husband for her child since she was a mother.
Li Jin said, "Then come with two vegetarian stuffings."
The proprietress smiled and said, "Don't the young man try our meat buns? The lotus root mixed with minced meat is praised by everyone in the town."
Li Jin paused and said, "Buy vegetarian first."
After speaking, he took out a copper plate and handed it to the proprietress.
The proprietress put a bun for him, then shook her head, the young man is handsome, but poor.
Although her child is a brother, she also hopes that the child will marry better, at least not worry about food and clothing.
What's the use of just looking at your face? Handsome and can't be eaten.
Li Jin walked around the main street, and he swallowed two plain stuffed buns.
I have to praise that there is no such thing as bleaching powder fluffing agent in the ancient flour. The bun skins are all rolled out by hand, and then steamed in a bamboo steamer. The soup in the stuffing melts into the skins a little. The vegetarian stuffed buns with tofu, cabbage, and vermicelli are delicious.
After eating the buns, Li Jin went to the nearest grocery store.
There are salt, dried chili, pepper, bay leaves and other condiments at the door here.
The boss was taking a nap, and when he saw someone coming in, he just raised his drooping eyelids a little.
Li Jin asked directly, "Boss, I saw a sign on the door that this place sells rapeseeds, what varieties are there?"
The boss took out a pile of paper bags from the deepest cabinet in the shop.
"I have a complete range of rapeseeds here, and basically all the seasonal vegetables that can be bought on the street are available here.
Cucumbers, winter melons, green onions, cabbage, radishes, garlic sprouts... When the busy farming season is over, eggplant sprouts will also be available. If you want to buy them, you can come here. "
Li Jin picked up a package of rapeseeds, unwrapped the wrapping paper, stuck it in his hand, and checked that it was not eaten by insects.
The boss said, "You can pick and choose the rapeseed here. We will never sell the old ones. If there are no vegetables growing in the fields after you go back, you can come and ask me for a refund."
Li Jin thought that although there are many profiteers, such a well-known store still has to pay attention to word of mouth, otherwise it will not be able to open sooner or later.
Li Jin asked, "What's the price?"
"Then it depends on how much you want. Now that the fields are still busy with farming, and there are few people buying rapeseed, I'll give you something cheaper. One pack of four cents, two packs of seven cents, and four packs of thirteen cents."
In the end, Li Jin chose garlic sprouts, radishes, cabbage and cucumbers. These dishes are not difficult to take care of, and they ripen quickly.
After planting in the ground, it will not be long before the family can eat the vegetables they grow.
When Li Jin paid, remembering the smile on the boy's face after drinking the sweet soup last night, he asked, "Is there any sugar?"
"There are some, I have caramel and honey here, as well as dried fruit desserts."
Li Jin thought, caramel is maltose, and it was this kind of candy that was put in the bowl for the boy yesterday.
"Young man, who did you buy this candy for? A bag of candy is worth six bags of rapeseeds. You can go back and discuss it with your parents."
Li Jin said, "No, I want a packet of caramel and a packet of honey."
The boss gave him two small bags of candy. Seeing that he bought more, he also gave him a smaller bag of preserved fruit.
Thirteen cents of rapeseed and forty cents of sugar cost a total of fifty-three cents.
After Li Jin put the things in the bamboo basket, he went to the butcher shop to cut a pound of pork and a pound of pig trotters. As for beef and mutton, butcher shops rarely sell it, so if you want to buy it, you must book it in advance.
This is a total of twenty-seven pennies.
In the end, Li Jin went to the owner's wife in the street to buy two hot meat buns.
The proprietress recognized him and said, "I just said that the young man has to try the meat buns, he is absolutely innocent."
Li Jin nodded slightly, but he didn't put the steamed buns in the basket, but held them in his hands.
It's hot now, so holding on like this, when he gets home, the buns won't be cold.
When Li Jin returned, it was already past eleven o'clock. During this period, the teenager couldn't help but leaned against the wall to get out of bed and opened the door a small crack, so that when he was sitting on the bed, his eyes happened to be looking outside the house, and he would know as soon as Li Jin came back.
Qin Muwen's face burned a little after doing all this.
He... In fact, he didn't think of anything else. He listened to the comings and goings of people outside the house, and his heart kept rising with anticipation, and then his expectations fell, and his heart was filled with disappointment, feeling empty inside.
But when the child wakes up, he has no time to look out the door, so he has to support the child with one hand and feed him rice cereal with the other.
When Li Jin came back, he put all the things he bought in the kitchen, and when he pushed the door in, Qin Muwen suddenly realized it.
"A Jin, you are back."
"Um."
Li Jin was still warm with the steamed bun in his hand. He walked very fast along the way. The average person walked for two and a half hours, and he walked for less than two hours.
Of course, this was because Li Jin's body was weak, and he had to stop and rest when he was tired from walking.
If he didn't rest, he could be as fast as Li Zhuzi's ox cart.
Li Jin put the buns down, took the child from Qin Muwen's arms, and asked, "Is he good in the morning, did he trouble you?"
When Qin Muwen talked about the child, he had a smile on his face, and there was warmth and softness in his eyes that was not in line with a boy his age.
"I didn't bother me, the child is very good, he has been sleeping, and he just woke up when you came back."
Although Qin Muwen has only fed the child for the second time, he has already figured out the rules for children to eat.
One spoon after another, the speed is even, just when the child has finished the first spoon, the second spoon is fed to him, and the child is not even given a chance to spit it out.
After the child finished eating, he was refreshed. Li Jin hugged him and fed him rice cereal last night. He still remembered the smell on Li Jin's body.
At this moment, Li Jin is not excluded, and his hands are open as if hugging Li Jin's neck. Li Jin was close to the child, and the child's mouth rubbed against his face when he was drinking rice cereal just now.
Li Jin was not annoyed, but hugged him very naturally, stood up, and walked back and forth in the room.
