Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 106 Chapter [-]: Life

Around the end of the day, the sun is still hot, but those who are on the road have to hurry up, otherwise they will not be able to reach the next resting place before dark.

At this time, everyone is busy on their way, and there are very few people who want to stop for a rest.

So several groups of people came and went in earnest.

In two of them, they took copper coins to pack some herbal tea, and continued on their way without sitting in to rest.

Song Qiu looked at it, and estimated that the business would reach Shen Shizhong at most every day, and then he could start to close the stall, go back to rest early, and get up in the middle of the night.

But there are also those who are tired from rushing and know that they can reach the next town before dark, so they are not in a hurry. Seeing a tea stand here, they just sit in and have a rest.

This is probably going to the direction of Baishui Town. I know that it is only a dozen miles away from Baishui Town.

At this moment, a group of people came in, they were from a certain wine shop, who were specialized in transporting wine, and the carloads of wine jars could smell the aroma of wine through the wine jars.

Most of the group were young guys, and they all sat in, exactly five tables were filled.

There were only two people sitting at a separate table, dressed in silk, they seemed to be the stewards of the car.

Song Qiu came to greet him, one of them listened to what the tea shop had, and ordered a cup of mung bean soup for each of the guys, while the two of them ordered a piece of watermelon and a bowl of iced fermented glutinous rice.

Song Qiu responded one by one, and quickly called Zhang Lihua to get busy.

Twenty guys, each with a bamboo tube of mung bean soup, will finish all the mung bean soup cooked today.

Song Qiu cut two pieces of iced watermelon to go, and seeing that there were not many pieces of watermelon left, he scooped up iced fermented glutinous rice.

After the pedestrians drank, rested, paid their bills and set off on their way, the sun slowly set to the west.

Song Qiuqing counted all the things left today, and was about to close the stalls in a while. With so many things, he had to pull them back one by one, and he still had to work for a while.

At this time, several half-grown children trotted into the tea shed without too much heat.

"Sister, sister, I heard that there are ice drinks for sale here? What's there? We also want to buy and try." One of the boys looked at Song Qiu and asked.

Song Qiu saw that he was dressed in fine cotton, and his accent belonged to their area, so he probably was from a village across the way.

The old Yuan on the side looked at the person, but immediately said: "Isn't this the grandson of the head of Jiang's family in Shitou Village across the street? If you come here seven or eight miles away, does the head of your family know?"

This child, Jingui, is the grandson of Du Miaomiao, the village head of Jiang. I heard that he is still studying in their village school. He is a smart child.

Seeing that the old Yuan recognized him, the boy was even more fearless, "We just left the village school, and I heard that there are ice drinks here, so I ran here. It's too hot today. If you have any ice drinks, give them quickly." Let's get some, we're going to buy!"

When the old Yuan heard that this was the case, he knew that this kid was not short of the money for the ice drink, so he nodded to Song Qiu.

Song Qiu thought about what was left, and said, "I don't have many ice drinks today, only two bowls of cold shrimp, glutinous glutinous rice, and iced watermelon are left. Children can't eat too much glutinous glutinous rice. You want cold shrimp." Or ice watermelon?"

The kid frowned when he heard that, "There's no mung bean soup, sour plum soup, peach ice drink?"

As soon as Song Qiu heard it, he knew that this kid bought a lot of iced drinks from the stalls in the town, so he smiled and said, "Not at all, but if you want to drink drinks, I can also make iced watermelon juice for you, would you like it?"

"Iced watermelon juice? Is that also a penny and a bamboo tube? There are four of us, and we only have one penny. If it is, we will buy it. If not, we will buy mung bean soup tomorrow!" The boy looked eagerly at Song Qiu, It is clear that the ice watermelon in the town costs three pennies a piece, but they only have one penny.

Watermelon juice costs a penny and a bamboo tube, but Song Qiu looked at the children sweating profusely, and nodded, "I'll sell it to you for a penny and a bamboo tube, wait a minute, I'll make it right away .”

As he spoke, he walked back to the ice mirror, opened the interlayer of the ice mirror, and saw that there were still some pieces of watermelon that were not cut into chunks and could not be sold as a piece of watermelon, so he picked seeds for them, took a bowl, and used a spoon to scoop out the meat. Dig out and press hard to squeeze out the juice.

I squeezed all the leftover watermelon, and used a large piece of watermelon that could be sold in pieces to fit all four bamboo tubes.

"Here, the watermelon juice is ready, drink it in the cold, don't run around, just sit here and drink it, and then walk back slowly."

The boys carefully held the bamboo tube, took out a penny from their body and handed it to Song Qiu, and sat on the bench to drink watermelon juice contentedly.

"Wow! The watermelon juice is so sweet!"

"Yeah, it's better than sour plum soup!"

"It's better than peach ice drink!"

……

After the children had finished drinking the watermelon juice and happily went home together, the sun had already set on the west mountainside.

Song Qiu yelled to close the stall, and the three of them got busy.

Tables and benches, small ice stoves, bowls, etc., all have to be taken home, leaving only a bare thatched shed here.

After going back and forth twice in a row, all the things were pulled out, and it was getting dark at this time.

Song Qiu was very tired, so he lit a fire and boiled hot water, took a hot bath, and then washed rice for cooking.

I'm busy today, so I ate a bowl of glutinous glutinous rice and drank a cup of mung bean soup at noon. I'm really hungry now. If I didn't buy buns from the town in the morning, I would be even more hungry.

Song Qiu still cooked enough rice, cooked a few more bowls of rice, and made fermented glutinous rice as usual. The fermented glutinous glutinous rice he made last time was sold for a day today, and it is estimated that it will be enough for tomorrow. It is almost the same here.

The rice was blanched in an iron pot at the back, Song Qiu put oil in the pot, and cooked a bowl of long beans. The old long beans with seeds are delicious when boiled.

In addition, I fried a chili and fried bitter gourd, which was enough.

After eating, as there was still a little light left in the sky, I mixed the rice with wine rice, covered it and put it on the stove.

It was already late at this time, and the house could not be seen, so Song Qiu simply went to bed first, and only came to settle today's debt when Ming'er was free.

It was about seven o'clock, Song Qiu fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed, and fell asleep until the beginning of Yin Shi, and got up on time, washed his face with cold water, rinsed his mouth, and went out to the backyard to catch a mule cart.

Not long after, old Yuan Shi also woke up. Today, besides making mung bean soup, she also has to make cold shrimp, so it's too late for her to get up late.

Zhang Lihua trotted over when she came out.

The two of them got into the mule cart and headed for the town under the still gloomy sky.

All the way from the dark sky to the dim light of the sky, to the rising sun, illuminating the sky.

Zhang Lihua sat comfortably in the mule cart, sighing from time to time, "Aqiu, it's only been a few days, you should drive well, why don't you teach me by the way when you catch up tomorrow? Teach me to go I'll give you a hand later."

"Okay." Song Qiu agreed wholeheartedly.
