Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 162 The Little Girl Selling Tea Eggs
After half hour, Chunqiu and Yang Weisong packed up all their belongings and left the shop.

Because the two lived in a shop, which was close to the city gate, it saved a lot of time on the road. The two went out of the city gate, walked to the market stalls, bypassed the already full stalls, and found a Find a place that can shelter from the wind, stop the cart, and start to set up the stall.

On a March day, the child's face was hot and cold for a while, no, it didn't take long for the two of them to stop before the wind picked up.

Scattered stalls were also set up around, selling not many kinds of things, most of which were local specialties left by the family in winter, as well as weaving baskets and flower baskets made of branches, or some winter vegetables.

Nowadays, there are no fresh vegetables coming down, but the two pork stalls Chunqiu passed by found that the pork sold was still very fresh.

Seeing the increasing crowd, Chunqiu wondered how many eggs he brought would be left.

"Qiu'er, shall we light the fire now?" Yang Weisong asked after finishing setting up the stove.

"Raw!" Chunqiu finished speaking, and directly handed over the firewood on the side. The eggs taken out of the shop had been fed with the soup all night, and they could be eaten long ago. They just need to be warmed up a little, so that the taste of the tea leaves can be carried along with the wind. If you float out, you can sell it directly.

Yang Weisong took the firewood from Chunqiu's hand and put it into the stove, and then took out two pebble-like flints from his bosom, and started a fire.

The two stones collided with each other and sparks were generated. Chunqiu looked down at his uncle and just rubbed against each other. After a while, the firewood was lit.

Chunqiu applauded enthusiastically, Yang Weisong smiled shyly, and directly sat the cauldron beside him on the stove.

The two of them poured the eggs and soup from the bucket into the pot, and they were basically done.

"Uncle, do you want to go back to the shop?" Chunqiu asked.

After Yang Weisong heard this, he shook his head directly, "I won't return." Last night, Mrs. Yang and Li asked Yang Weisong to help out. Besides, there were not many people in the shop in the morning, and Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Li could come over quickly.

After listening to Chunqiu, he nodded, then glanced at the crowd around him, and said to his uncle, "Uncle, there is nothing wrong here, you can go out for a stroll, won't grandma let you buy something?" Yesterday she heard After a mouthful, he said that the pots and pans at home were not enough.

Yang Weisong originally wanted to go shopping when there were not many people, but when he heard Chunqiu say this, he said along the way, "That's okay, I'll be back after shopping."

"Hey, uncle, let's go." Chunqiu watched his uncle leave, then turned his eyes away, and stared at the tea eggs that were boiling in the pot.

There is a lot of firewood in the stove.The flames were also very strong, Chunqiu looked at the white steam coming out of the cauldron, picked up the strainer on the side and lifted the lid of the pot, then stirred along the way, the wind blew away the new gas coming out of the pot Chunqiu sniffed and smelled the hot air, the fragrance of tea leaves and the mixture of seasonings were perfectly combined, just smelling it made people swallow unconsciously.

Chunqiu put the lid on and glanced secretly at the people around him. Seeing so many pairs of curious eyes looking over, Chunqiu was very satisfied. Most of the people who came to the market in the morning didn’t eat, and they smelled so fragrant. His stomach was growling impatiently, and Chunqiu looked at the strainer in his hand with a smile, as if he saw handfuls of money floating by.

Chunqiu didn't sell, but some people couldn't resist the temptation. Not long after Chunqiu sat down, someone walked over from the side.

The person who came was a man leading a child. He was about twenty years old. He had good facial features, a little dark skin, and was tall and strong. He pointed to the tea eggs beside him and asked, "Little boss, what is this?" How do you sell things?"

The man's voice was as loud as a bell, which made Chunqiu's eardrums ache a little, "This is a tea egg, three pennies for two."

After the man listened, he lowered his head and asked the children beside him, his voice was not as loud as before, "Dunzi, do you want it?"

It turned out that the child was called Dunzi, and Chunqiu had a clear face, um, looking at the other's solid flesh, it really didn't make sense.

"Fine, father, this smells delicious." The boy named Dunzi nodded quickly, and reached out to tug on the man's clothes after speaking.It's like a child acting like a baby to buy candy.

After listening to the child's words, the man lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said to Chunqiu, "Little boss, take... 5 of them, how much is the total?"

"It's seven coins in total, don't want a small change." Chun Qiu directly decided to wear away half of the other party's money. After all, the other party was her first customer, and Chun Qiu should have a lot of discounts.

"Hehe, then thank you little boss." The man took out seven copper coins from his arms and handed them over, and said to his son beside him, "Dunzi, thank you young lady."

"Thank you, miss." Dunzi heard his father's words, and said it in a well-behaved childish voice.

Chunqiu laughed directly, ouch, what a cute little fat man.

He took out the boiled fragrant tea eggs and put them on the kraft paper beside him, wrapped them in Chunqiu, and handed them directly to the other party's father and son.

With the first one, there will naturally be a second one, and a third one... As soon as the father and son leave, all the people watching the fun gather around, two will come in a while, and four will come in a while, Spring and Autumn In a hurry, I took out all the boiled tea eggs in the pot and put them in a basin, which is also convenient for wrapping.

By the time Yang Weisong came back after shopping, the small stall he set up at home had long been surrounded by people around him.

Yang Weisong bypassed the crowd and came directly to the back of the stall. Before the things were finished, Chunqiu called out, "Uncle, come and help me!"

"Hey, come on." Yang Weisong put down his backpack and ran directly to Chunqiu's side, "What's wrong?" Yang Weisong glanced at the circle of people on the opposite side and found himself in trouble.

Taking advantage of the time, Chunqiu handed out the tea eggs wrapped in the mobile phone, then turned to look at Yang Weisong, and said quickly, "Uncle, go and pour another bucket of tea eggs into the pot. All sold out”

"What? They're all sold?" Yang Weisong was very surprised. The bucket of eggs was gone?

"Hehe, the little boss's tea eggs are delicious, and of course they sell quickly." Chunqiu didn't speak this time, and a passerby who was eating tea eggs answered the question.

Yang Weisong turned his head and smiled, "Hey, it's better to rely on the support from the folks."

"It's not flattering, it's all thanks to the little boss. It's so delicious that it seduces our gluttons." As soon as the words fell, all kinds of "giggles" and "hahaha...that's right" came to mind. The laughter made the whole crowd even more lively.

Chunqiu also interjected, and turned to Yang Weisong pretending to be serious and said, "Uncle, go to work, don't make the folks wait too long."

"Pfft...hahaha, that's right, the little boss is right, don't make us wait too long." "That's right, hurry up..."

After hearing this, Yang Weisong also teased, "Hey, I'll be here soon, folks, don't worry." As soon as the words fell, Yang Weisong poured the bucket full of eggs into the cauldron, and added fire to the cauldron by the way. .

After Chunqiu and Chunqiu had sold the three full buckets of tea eggs, it was just after the hour, that is, around nine o'clock, and Chunqiu saw off the last guest before they could rest.

After saying sorry to those who came late, Chunqiu also promised to make more next time and bring them over.

"Uncle, let's go home." Chunqiu straightened up and rubbed her sore waist. Before, she bent over specially to make tea eggs, so now it is very difficult for her to straighten up.

Yang Weisong put the wooden barrel on the side into the cart with a smile, turned his head and said, "It seems that next time we come here we should bring some more. Look at the later ones, you are very disappointed."

Chunqiu nodded in agreement, "That's right, I'll make more next time. By the way, I'll have to make more when I get back. There's not enough left in the shop." There are quite a few people eating tea eggs in the shop every day. When it came out today, Chunqiu was worried that it would not be sold, so he specially kept some in the shop, it seems that he will not use it next time.

The uncle and nephew put away the stall while chatting. When they went back, Chunqiu bought two catties of pork, and they were going to stew it. Well, she made money, and this meal was treated by her!
