Hard times have room

Chapter 109 Dried Squid

"This... this is impossible, he treats me so well, invites me to eat his smoked dried fish, and chats with me." Wang Jiandang stammered and said a little unconfidently.

It's been an hour or two since he was fooled by that friend. At this time, Pauline broke the key, and he actually reacted a little bit himself.

"Daughter, are you saying that I was deceived by him?"

"Dad, don't be so serious, it's not that serious, what he said must be flickering, but it's not necessarily that the snails he sold lied to you."

Paulin didn't think it was a big deal. The whole package of dried snails was only ten pounds and one dollar. Even if the snails could not be eaten, the loss would only be one yuan. It was not a big deal.

She has always been big-hearted and will adjust her mood and emotions. No matter how big the matter is, from another angle, it is nothing, only people are still there.

"This dried snail is pretty good. The price of a pound and a cent is actually quite suitable. When I get home, I will try to make a dish to see how it tastes. If it tastes good, then this price is suitable. If If it tastes bitter and astringent, then these dried snails are a bit tasteless."

"By the way, how many kilograms does this package of dried snails weigh?"

"Ah, oh, five kilograms. I originally heard from him that I planned to buy all of his belongings back, but I have already bought a lot of things before, and I have no money on me."

"Fortunately, I have already bought a lot of things and spent the money. If I really bought back the ten kilograms from his stall, I would not have lost a lot." Wang Jiandang's words were filled with some happiness. said in a tone of voice.

"Yeah, fortunately you've already bought a lot of things before." Although Pauline thought it was a little funny, she didn't talk about it again, for fear of irritating her father's fragile nerves. After thinking about it, she changed the subject. Bar!
Pauline pointed to the big bag full of things in the back basket and asked, "By the way, Dad, what is this? It's a lot, a big bag."

"This, but it's a good thing. It took me a lot of saliva to take this thing down." When Wang Jiandang heard Pauline asking about this thing, he felt a sense of pride and quickly put down what he was holding in his hand. Two oiled paper bags, took out the big bag from the back basket, and carefully untied the tied string.

The rustling sound sounded, and the things wrapped inside were also revealed in front of the two of them.

"It's squid. It's a good thing. During the Chinese New Year, it was sold in the vegetable market in the county town. I remember that this thing not only requires a ticket, but it's also expensive. As soon as it was taken out, it was sold out."

"At that time, I didn't know your mother yet. When you went to the county seat, your grandfather took me and your uncle and uncle. The whole family almost stared out, but in the end they didn't buy anything."

"I was most impressed when I went to the county seat. It was the scene of robbing squid. A large group of aunts and aunts squeezed in desperately. In less than ten minutes, a squid with a ticket for fifty cents was robbed at once. It's gone, and there are still many people who scolded it and didn't grab it! I haven't forgotten it yet, this time, I have a chance to see it here, so naturally I can't let it go."

"I bought 25 large dried squids, one for thirty-five cents, and these 25 cost almost eighty-seventy-five cents. I basically spent the money you gave me."

"Once you get these squid back, you will definitely not have to worry about selling them. Maybe you will be able to earn twice as much back then. I don't have confidence in others, but I have this one."

He has personally seen how popular and expensive this dried squid is. Now the dried squid at thirty-five cents is really cheap. If it weren't for his money, the squid on the stall was not much, some crooked melons. He didn't like the cracked dates that were too small. He wanted to buy all the squid on the stall and forget about it. There must be some profit.

Wang Jiandang proudly told Baolin about his past with dried squid. In the past, his family was poor, and even if he went to the county town, he could only watch it. This time, when he brought the things back, he had to give the old lady a note and let her Open your eyes and have a taste.

Of course, it also contains a kind of showing off to the old mother, showing her that her son is still very capable, and this kind of thing can be obtained.

After the separation, he will definitely get better.

"Dad, you're amazing, you can find it all, and I bought so many dried squid at such a cheap price. I've been here twice, but I've never seen squid anywhere. Sell."

Pauline sincerely praised her father, how could she have the patience to be like her father, asking one by one, looking at one by one.

Her little money was the easiest way to directly figure it out. She bought all fresh and dried fish, plus a few things with shells, and left after buying them. Where else would you see squid.

"That's right, or I'm your dad!"

After speaking, Wang Jiandang pulled one out of the bundled squid: "Let them cook this one and try it out."

"People are so warm to us, this is what it should be."

"Well, you're right, I'll put it in the kitchen, just tell them when I leave." Pauline took the things and went to the kitchen, and put the dried squid at the bottom of the cabinet. The top of the trotters and twist.

As soon as she returned to the main room, looking at the contents of the two baskets, Pauline took the fifteen catties of soybeans from her father's basket into her own. She could still carry more than 20 catties with ease.

Her father also reduced the weight of the basket. After all, if he carried the [-]-[-] jins back by himself, it would be too much trouble.

"Paulin, where is Uncle Wang?" When Li Ting and Qin Dashan came back, they only saw Baolin alone in the main room, and there was no Uncle Wang in the front yard.

As soon as she and Qin Dashan finished their meal, they were called by Qin Dashan's uncle to inquire about the weather and the purchase of food at noon, and only came back now.

At noon today, as soon as Qin Dashan came back, Li Ting told him what Bao Lin said, and then Qin Dashan told his uncle's family about it. There are many brothers, he will not hide this kind of thing from the uncle's family.

Uncle Qin also believed what Qin Dashan said. In the past two months, there has been a heavy rain and several light rains in Tongmao Village. In addition, there is a big river, so there is no shortage of water in the village, so he didn't care, but after listening to his nephew, Qin The uncle also reacted, the rain was indeed less, so he planned ahead, called his two sons, went out to buy food, and recognized the price. It's a matter of human life, and now it's also a matter of saving some for your family's peace of mind!
The two families both bought more than 100 catties of coarse grains and came back, which can be regarded as a precautionary measure!
