Yoshida Mii

Chapter 121
"Of course it's done!" Dong Bao laughed, "As long as Uncle Da Rong is willing."

Aunt Guizhi nodded happily, "He is willing, why is he not willing!" After working in Dongbao's house for so many days, Guizhi understood in her heart that the villagers didn't know the situation of the scholar's wife's family, and thought that she was the only one in the village. It is the lady of the scholar who supports the family and the craftsmanship of making tofu. In fact, this family is in charge of Dongbao girl, whether it is in charge of money or ordering tofu, it is all arranged by Dongbao.

Fortunately, Guizhi is not that talkative person, she just wants to do her job well and get a good salary, otherwise Dongbao would not continue to hire her, and give Dayong a share of tofu money.

When Li Shi and Li Hongqin went to the town carrying bean curd, tofu and a hundred zongzi, Dongbao and Zhang Xiuyu were also busy, cooking and steaming pancakes, Dongbao was worried about how the meat zongzi was selling, and it was earlier than usual. went to town.

When they arrived in town, Mrs. Li and Li Hongqin were as busy as usual. Dong Bao first glanced at the basket containing the meat dumplings, and heaved a sigh of relief. Originally, the basket was full of dumplings, but now there were only about thirty left look.

Mrs. Li took a break from her busy schedule and whispered to Dong Bao: "It's better for you, because it was too expensive at first, so your aunt peeled off a rice dumpling and cut it into small pieces for them to taste. Most of the people who tasted it bought it! "

Dong Bao smiled and nodded, "This is a good thing, we don't have to worry about not being able to sell it."

After a while, a few more zongzi were sold. Listening to the sound of copper coins falling into the money box, Dongbao smiled happily. Making zongzi is much easier than making tofu, and it makes money. It's a pity that Anzhou is located in the north. I don't have the habit of eating zongzi, so I can only sell them as seasonal food.

Seeing that Li's business is going smoothly, Dongbao is going to go to the academy with Zhang Xiuyu, but before they leave, they hear someone shouting in front of the stall: "Your rice dumplings are wrapped in gold? It costs ten cents each ?”

The voice was breathless, as if it was humming from the nostrils.

Dong Bao looked around, and saw a man in his thirties standing in front of the stall with his chest akimbo and only a thin gown on. They were covered with a thick layer of dust.

Look at this attire, it looks like a worker unloading goods for several commercial companies in the town.

Mrs. Li and Li Hongqin looked at each other, Li Hongqin first smiled and said: "Brother, we sell meat dumplings, and there are excellent pork belly wrapped in them, would you like to buy two to try?"

"It's easy to say, buy two? What if it doesn't taste good? Isn't the money wasted?" The man shouted, "Peel off three first, and give each of us brothers one to taste!"

Dong Bao shook his head quietly at Mrs. Li. This man looked like a rascal who didn't pay for his meals.

Mrs. Li was a little embarrassed, these three people looked fierce, it would be fine if they could leave after "inviting" them to eat a few zongzi, but I was afraid that after eating zongzi, they would find trouble to bully their orphans and widowed mothers.

"There are already cut zongzi here!" Zhang Xiuyu said first, and pushed a small plate of meat zongzi cut by Li Hongqin towards the man, "Just try this!"

"Hey!" The shirtless man tilted his head and looked at Zhang Xiuyu, "Where is the little girl? The uncle didn't talk to you, why did you bring it up by yourself?"

The two attendants behind the man echoed with a smile and said, "Little girl Chun's heart is moved, she has taken a fancy to Brother Zhao!"

"It's not bad, let's forget it with our Brother Zhao!"

Zhang Xiuyu was ashamed and angry, her face was flushed red, she had never encountered such a shameful thing, the look of the leading shirtless man looking at her made her feel sick.

"What shameless nonsense!" Dong Bao scolded with a sullen face, and stood in front of Zhang Xiuyu, pointing at the shirtless man and shouting: "Do you know... Liang Zi? It's Liang Zi, the yamen servant who patrols this street. We are His relatives!"

Dong Bao originally wanted to carry Master Yan out, but when she thought of Master Yan's serious face, she felt unsure, and maybe he didn't want to have anything to do with them, compared to carrying Liang Zi out would be a big deal. There is no psychological pressure anymore.

To deal with these rascals, one beam is enough.

"You... are you relatives of Mr. Liang?" The shirtless man stammered and asked, his eyes drifted away due to guilt and fear, and he didn't dare to look at Dong Bao.

"What am I coaxing you to do?!" Dong Bao said angrily, "If you have the ability, you wait here, and I'll go find Brother Liang Zi and come over to deal with you!" He turned his head and pointed at the man and shouted, "If you dare to leave, you are the son of a turtle, a bastard!"

However, when Dongbao disappeared among the bustling crowd on the street, the shirtless man and the two followers behind him panicked completely. The three of them looked at each other a few times, regardless of whether they would become "turtle son bastards" , taking advantage of Li's and Li Hongqin's time to serve bean curd to others, they turned around and ran away.

In fact, Dong Bao didn't go to Liang Zi at all, and she didn't know if Liang Zi was on duty today. She said so much just to scare the three rascals. help.Although the matter of Xiao Xu was there, Mrs. Yan obviously accepted their favor, but Dong Bao didn't want to bother them with everything, at least she wanted to use this favor in a bigger place.

But what Dong Bao didn't expect was that today was really a coincidence, she ran forward pretendingly in the crowd, and before walking a few steps, she ran into Liang Zi, who was patrolling the street in a black and red government uniform.

"Yo, it's Dongbao!" Liang Zixian greeted with a smile.

Dong Bao smiled, rolled his eyes, pulled Liang Zi forward, and said, "Brother Liang Zi, our family has newly made zongzi, which are delicious. I guarantee you haven't eaten them before. Come and taste them!"

Liang Zi couldn't resist her, so he followed Dong Bao with a smile to the front of Li's stall. There were a few spectators who stayed in front of the stall to eat bean curd with the attitude of seeing if it was real or not. Pulling Liang Zi over, seeing that the relationship between the two is not bad, he believed what Dong Bao said before, and it turned out that he and Liang Zi were indeed related.

Mrs. Li and the others didn't expect Dong Bao to really pull Liang Zi over, so they felt a little sorry, it wasn't a big deal, and they asked Liang Zi to come over, but since Liang Zi was here, it was hard to say anything about Dong Bao.

Zhang Xiuyu hurriedly peeled a rice dumpling for Liang Zi, and enthusiastically handed the bowl and chopsticks to Liang Zi, "Try it, brother Liang Zi!"

"It's so delicious!" Liang Zi looked at Zhang Xiuyu with a smile, sighed, and took a big bite. He was stunned as soon as he took a bite of the salty rice dumplings. They were soft and oily, and they were indescribably delicious.Liang Zi nodded to Dong Bao and Zhang Xiuyu and said with a smile, "It's delicious! I've never eaten salty rice dumplings when I grow up. This tastes really good, delicious!"

While Liang Zi was enjoying his meal, Dong Bao looked at his toes and said to Liang Zi, "Brother Liang Zi, I have something to tell you, don't be angry!"

"What's the matter? Tell me!" Liang Zi asked with a smile.

Dong Bao lowered his head, recounted what happened just now, and finally said: "Those three people seem to be here to make trouble, and I can't help it. They didn't pretend to be relatives on purpose..."

"Hi!" Liang Zi rubbed Dong Bao's head with a smile, finished eating the zongzi in two or three bites, and said with a proud smile, "What's the big deal! From now on, as long as someone doesn't have eyes and dares to bully you, he will report my name! You You two call me brother, she is my sister! Whoever dares to make trouble, you brother Liang Zi will find him to settle the score!"

He could see clearly that Boss Yan was very grateful to Mrs. Li's mother and daughter, and there was no harm in getting along with them. Besides, this family was kind in nature, honest and kind, and he wanted to help them from the bottom of his heart.

Zhang Xiuyu pulled Dong Bao and said with a smile, "Brother Liang Zi is fine if he doesn't get angry!"

Li Shi and Li Hongqin also laughed happily, and hurriedly filled Liang Zi with a bowl full of bean curd, according to his preference, put enough marinade and fried soybeans, without coriander and chopped green onion.

Liang Zi took the bean curd handed over by Li Shi, looked at it and said with a smile: "Auntie knows how I like to eat!"

After eating, Liang Zi took out a money bag from his arms and asked for money, but was stopped by Dong Bao and Zhang Xiuyu, Dong Bao smiled and said: "Brother Liang Zi, aren't we relatives, how can relatives ask for money after eating rice dumplings? "

"That's right!" Zhang Xiuyu blushed anxiously, "Brother Liang Zi wants to give money, so he treats us as outsiders!"

Having said all this, Liang Zi seemed to be artificial no matter how polite he was, so he smiled and said, "Okay, then I will not be polite."

"You should have been more polite a long time ago." Dong Bao smiled, and quickly tied four rice dumplings to Liang Zi with a hemp rope, and said, "Brother Liang Zi, take it back and eat it. It's cooked. If it gets cold, put it in the pot." It can be eaten after steaming for a while."

Liang Zi declined, waved his hand and said: "It's not that I'm being polite to you. I can eat enough for one person and the whole family is not hungry. The pots and stoves at home have not been used for many years. These rice dumplings are useless to me. You should keep them and sell them." !"

It was the first time Dong Bao heard about his family background, he was slightly surprised, then he handed the zongzi to Liang Zi, and said with a smile: "Brother Liang Zi, please bring it to Master Yan and Xiao Xu to taste!"

This time Liangzi didn't refuse, just took the zongzi with a smile and left.

After tossing around for a while and wasted a lot of time, Dong Bao and Zhang Xiuyu hurried to the academy with vegetables and pancakes. Before leaving, Dong Bao also brought twelve zongzi with him. The next ten are going to be sold to the students of the academy.

However, to Dong Bao's surprise, the first ones to come out were not the students, but the crippled man and his wife he met yesterday.

"Little girl, here is a bowl of vegetables! More tofu!" The man raised the bowl in his hand with a smile.

Dong Bao quickly took the bowl and said with a smile, "Okay!"

Can't explain why, she likes this handyman couple very much, they may not be very rich, but the kindness and warmth in their words and demeanor is enough to make people enviable, Dong Baoduo picked up tofu vegetables, and opened the basket The cloth on the table smiled and said: "Master, we still have meat dumplings here, which are salty and delicious. Would you like to come and have a taste with my aunt?"

"Salty?" The man's eyes lit up.
