Chapter 32
The old Feng family also made a lot of money for receiving tourists this time. Mrs. Feng made a careful calculation in private. These tourists came for three days and bought ice soda from their family for three days. This trip Come down, I made a full seventy yuan just selling ice soda.
Sure enough, I still have to rely on these tourists to make money. If I can make twenty or thirty dollars a day, it will take a month or two for this machine to pay off, and the rest of the money will be pure income. It’s a good way to make money.
Madam Feng counts the banknotes, the more she thinks, the more beautiful she is. Her Mengmeng is blessed. If Mengmeng hadn’t casually asked for cakes, her eldest son would not have listened to it, and he would not have the current income. It was brought by Mengmeng. Her family’s peaches are also the best. Mengmeng earns forty or fifty yuan for helping sell peaches. There is nothing more capable than this.
She set up a stall by herself, specializing in selling dried meat, dried seafood, etc., which was especially popular with tourists. She accidentally earned three or four hundred yuan, which is the bulk of the money. Calculated now, the money earned in these three days is almost the same as her family’s income for more than half a year, not counting the more than 2,000 yuan from selling gold.
After making a fortune, Mrs. Feng counted the banknotes over and over again. She was so excited that she almost jumped up and circled when she saw the little figure of Mengmeng appearing at the door of the room. She quickly locked the money and went out and said, “Mengmeng” Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? Grandma will make it for you.”
With a shovel in her hand, the big baby stood in the corridor and shouted, “Mother, my sister wants to bake sweet potatoes with us.”
Mengmeng also nodded happily and said, “Go eat sweet potatoes.”
Madam Feng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, “Well, take your sister with you, don’t just take care of yourself, take care of her more, do you know?”
Seeing that the grandchildren nodded obediently, Madam Feng patted Mengmeng’s head with satisfaction and said, “Wait a minute, I’ll go to the kitchen to bring you a chicken, this is the tiger who just came down from the mountain. The pheasants, eat a little, and I won’t cook your meals tonight.”
“Wow, there’s still chicken to eat? Grandma, you are so nice.” The little boys shouted with joy, carrying the bare-skinned chicken handed over by Mrs. Feng, and surrounded Mengmeng, and ran to the river in the village.
They chose a dry place here, and the little boys were busy working. Brother Rui took a shovel and shoveled a dirt hole on the ground. They carefully piled these clods up into a cone-shaped kiln tower, leaving a hole at the bottom for the fire.
Dawa and Erwa dig wild sand **** by the river, wash it and stuff it directly into the belly of the pheasant, then tear off two leaves to wrap the chicken, and wrap it with a thick layer of river mud That’s it.
Three babies and four babies also have work to do. Next to them is their sweet potato field. The two of them took small shovels to dig up the soil and randomly pulled along the sweet potato vines. After picking it off and washing it, the kiln tower was almost burned, and the clods on it were all burned red, emitting a roaring heat.
Dawa took a branch and carefully lifted the clods at the top of the kiln tower, threw the sweet potatoes and kiln chickens in one after another, and then flattened the red-hot clods and covered them with a layer of sand. Now waiting for the heat of the clods, roast the sweet potatoes and chicken and you are ready to eat.
This set is already done by the little dolls, and it is one of the few fun they have on weekdays.
Where have they gone?
It turned out that Mengmeng took advantage of the busyness of her brothers, so she sneaked out with Huzi. Brother Rui found out and quickly followed, and followed him all the way to the beach, when she saw Mengmeng standing in a blister The child was in a daze in front of him.
Brother Rui walked over and shook his hand in front of her, and asked her curiously, “Sister, what are you looking at?”
Mengmeng turned around and smiled at him. She stretched out her little hand and pointed into the water. Brother Rui saw a very large lobster. His little face lit up, and he raised his index finger He said on his lips, “Don’t make a sound, I’ll catch you.”
Brother Rui looked left and right on the shore, and soon found a branch with branches. He tore off all the leaves on it, rolled up his trousers, and went down into the blisters, quietly approaching the big one step by step. The lobster, he squinted his eyes and forked it hard when he saw it. This lobster was very stupid.
He excitedly took the big lobster on his fork and ran to the shore, and was pleasantly surprised to find that its size was about the size of his waist, and he was still waving the pliers with his teeth and claws. A lobster, sister, be careful, don’t get caught by it, let’s go, brother will take you to roast lobster to eat.”
This lobster is too heavy. Brother Rui has to use two small hands to carry the branch on his shoulders to carry it around. The brothers saw it at a glance, pointed their fingers in surprise and said, “Wow, what a big lobster, where did you get it?”
Brother Rui raised his face and smiled very proudly: “My sister and I caught it at the beach.”
The brothers are all happy, this luck is really good, the big baby took the branch with the big lobster on it, and opened his mouth: “Quick, quick, light that pile of firewood, and move two more. Come here with a stone, second brother, help me skewer this lobster, and let’s grill it on the rack.”
After a rush, the eight little dolls were all squatting beside the bonfire, their eyes fixed on the big lobster, watching it turn from black to bright red. It was fragrant, so fragrant. Zi Liu drooled and wanted to eat, and anxiously urged the eldest baby to say, “Brother, are you getting better soon? Can you eat?”
The eldest child lay down and observed the fire and said, “I think it should be alright, second brother, you can take the other side, let’s take it down together, right, right, put it on this stone, don’t eat it yet, let’s put the kiln first. Open, sister, stay away, be careful that you will get burnt later.”
Brother Rui pulled Mengmeng to hide next to him, watching his brothers open the kiln with a small shovel, and pulled out the charred sweet potatoes one by one in the smoky mound, the mud shell of the kiln chicken. The children were all boiled and hardened. Da Wa smashed the mud shell with great force, and carefully pinched the corner of the Pu leaf to uncover it. Underneath was the golden-yellow, fat and oily chicken. Spicy with a hint of sand ginger.
I haven’t eaten this yet, the little dolls want to drool just looking at it, swallow their throats desperately, and tear open the shell of the lobster happily. An extremely tempting lobster fragrance spread out.
Gudonggudong, surrounded by the sound of the little dolls swallowing.
“Sister here, the middle piece is for you.” Dawa tore off a large piece of tender and white lobster meat, Mengmeng tilted her head and leaned over it, and put it in her mouth, chewing it so sweetly, it was a wife. delicious.
Several little boys also ate it one after another. The lobster meat was so delicious that they wanted to cry. They were reluctant to swallow it right away. They had to chew it slowly, as if they were eating an elixir.
After Brother Rui finished eating the lobster meat, he tore a chicken leg from the kiln chicken and handed it over to him and said, “Mengmeng eats the chicken leg, isn’t it delicious?”
Mengmeng was so happy that she took a bite, the chicken thigh seemed to be melted and it was particularly fragrant, and the chicken fat was still flowing down the corner of her mouth, she slapped her oily little mouth and said, “Mmmm alright. eat.”
“Sister eat another roasted sweet potato, come and let me feed you.” Mengmeng just swallowed the chicken in her mouth, and her second brother’s roasted sweet potato was already handed to her mouth, and the yellow sweet potato had a charcoal-grilled aroma. , It tastes really sweet and glutinous, which makes Mengmeng very satisfied.
The little dolls are full of mouthfuls of oil, but they only feel that they have grown so big. They have never eaten such a delicious meal. Then they go to the tree to pick a few peaches to eat, and they all fill their stomachs. This is a happier thing.
The little dolls have delicious food, and they have not forgotten their family members. They wisely set aside some they are reluctant to eat. They wrap it in a palm leaf and hold it in the big baby’s hand, ready to take it home to give to grandma, mother, mother try it.
Brother Rui went back to his house halfway, and the other dolls rushed into Lao Feng’s house. Erwa walked in the front and shouted excitedly: “Nah, we’re back, nah, let me tell you… ah, Grandpa! Grandpa is back!”
Erwa laughed very happily, and rushed up to hug his grandfather.
The old man Feng was also very happy to meet him, rubbed Erwa’s shoulder abruptly, picked up Mengmeng who was behind him, and made a small circle in the air, making Mengmeng giggle non-stop. Sun’s two foreheads were pressed against their foreheads, and they smiled very happily.
The young grandchildren also gathered around. Old man Feng loved the children the most on weekdays, and often made some small toys for them to play with. The children also knew that grandfather treated them well. After he went to the south for so long, the children missed him as a grandfather.
“Hahaha, okay, you all come in with me, see what I brought you?” Old Man Feng walked into the main room with Mengmeng in his arms, took out several colorful plastic water guns from a cloth pocket, and gave them to his grandson. Everyone sent a message and said, “This is the most fashionable toy in the south. If you add water to it, you can fight a water fight. Do you like it?”
“Wow! Water gun!” The boys had already been hit by this huge surprise. Holding the water gun, their mouths were wide open, and they nodded their heads vigorously and said, “I like it so much. Hey, what are you holding, Grandpa?”
The old man Feng took out another iron box and opened it. He smiled mysteriously and said: “What you like to eat, this is the chocolate candy I brought from the south. I’ll keep you all. Come and try it.”
The little dolls squeezed the chocolate candy ball and smelled it. It was dark and had an attractive fragrance. It looked very delicious. They threw this chocolate into their mouths. It was a bit bitter at first, and so on. After melting, it is full of silky and mellow taste. It is indeed a candy brought by the south. It is too fragrant and sweet.
A few little boys grabbed another handful of chocolate and ran out happily to show off. They first studied plastic water guns. The children have an intuition about toys and don’t need anyone to teach them. They removed the water gun and put it on the water to try it out. He shot over and sprayed the big baby with water all over his head and face. He bent over and laughed until his stomach hurt, and pointed at the big baby and said, “Hahahaha, big brother, you look like you’ve become a jerk.”
“Well, you are itchy, let’s see how I can treat you.” The big baby raised his hand and gave the second baby a slap. The two brothers had a water fight, and the other brothers also made troubles like little madmen. He was soaked all over his body and ran out to attack the little dolls in the village.
“This group of scooters are finally gone.” Madam Feng shook her head helplessly, squatted down and continued to count the things her old man brought back.
Mengmeng was sitting on her grandfather’s lap, with a chocolate candy ball in her mouth, and a baby doll in her arms. She looked down at the little baby, thinking that it was very cute, and extended her fingers carefully. After pinching its little face, who would have known that this little baby would cry so much that Mengmeng was so frightened that she only dared to hug her obediently, and said like her grandma, “Don’t cry, don’t cry.”
Mengmeng coaxed several times, but the doll was still crying. Now Mengmeng was about to cry herself. With tears in her eyes, she called out to Mrs. Feng, “Grandma, I’m afraid.”
Madam Feng hurried over to take the doll, and coaxed Mengmeng in a soft voice: “My dear, let’s not cry, it’s all fake, grandma closed it for you.”
She touched the rag doll, but couldn’t find the switch, she glared at her old man and said, “Why don’t you turn off this thing soon, look at what scares Mengmeng, what did you buy? Broken toy? Don’t buy it again next time.”
Old Man Feng stretched out his hand with a smile and pressed it on the bottom of the doll’s feet. The doll really stopped crying. He put it aside and said, “This is an electronic doll, it will make a sound when you squeeze it. The dolls love to play with this, and when we Mengmeng grow up a little bit, we will like it.”
Old man Feng also just walked into the house. Seeing that he didn’t bring much things back, old lady Feng couldn’t help but wonder, “Old man, why did you bring so many things back? Where did you buy the goods?”
Old Man Feng teased Mengmeng with a particularly pleasant smile and said, “It’s already sold out. Old Stone and I are all light things, and the heavy things can’t be carried by the two old guys, right? Watches, audio tapes, etc., as soon as we returned to the provincial capital, we found a place to sell them directly.”
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, patted his forehead and said, “I also bought a radio for my home, and you opened that cardboard box and it’s in it. I brought it back from the south on purpose. Three turns and one beep, we already have a watch and a radio at home, and we have finally collected two of the four major items.”
After hearing what he said, Mrs. Feng hurriedly opened the cardboard box and brought out a small radio. The other things below were all tapes with the same beauty printed on them. Her old man said that it was a radio called Teresa Teng’s singer, she sings very nicely. Madam Feng took out these tapes, and before she had time to be happy, she saw a thick stack of money under the box. A small ten-dollar bill.
“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety-one! Oh, old man, how much money did you make?” Madam Feng bluffed a lot, staring at the money, her eyes were no longer full. He turned around, his mouth was so big that he could put an egg in it, and after a long while, he found his voice: “Our family has become a household of ten thousand yuan?”
“Hey, guess how much is the total? 11,387 yuan, the loose money is still with me, I’ll give it to you later, you can save it for us Mengmeng, when she grows up Give her some more flowers.” Old man Feng smiled so that the wrinkles on his face appeared, he nodded his cute little nose and said, “Grandpa made you so much money, are you happy?”
“Kakakaka, happy.” Mengmeng patted her little hand as if she could understand, and her little head nodded quickly.
When did Mrs. Feng see so much money? Before he could react from the shock just now, he held the cardboard box and said: “It turns out that 10,000 yuan is so much.”
The old man Feng turned to look at her and said, “What’s the point? A household of ten thousand yuan is nothing special. I plan to make another hundred and eighty thousand. Feng’er, things from the south are so good. Yimin was the last time. Too timid, Lao Shi and I went directly to the vegetable market in the provincial capital, and rented a small stall next to the manager for two pairs of jeans. Just after we put our things on, my good guy, hula-la around. A large group of people came up, all crying and wanting to buy our stuff. I can’t even sell it to them. Guess what? I originally planned to sell an electronic watch for ten yuan, but I immediately changed my mind and said it was Twenty, people are still rushing for it, and it will be all gone in a while, this money is too easy to earn, and it turns out that self-employed is the most promising thing.”
