Chapter 11 Selling Potatoes
Gu Xin closed her eyes tightly and waited for the slap to arrive. She waited for a long time but couldn't wait for the pain she imagined.
When he opened his eyes, Goode's hand was held tightly by Heizi, who exuded a cold air that was far away from others.
"What are you doing? Let my father go!" Gu Xin said with Heizi's hand away
"I'm sorry Uncle Gu, I'm just too worried." Heizi returned to his honest and honest appearance. The cold and domineering person just now seemed to have never appeared before.
"Ah! It's okay, you're worried too!" Goode came back from his stunned gaze
"Xin'er, where are you going? Don't you know how much you and your mother are worried about you?" Goode's attitude eased a lot.
"I know I'm wrong father, and I won't worry you and your mother in the future." Gu Xin said.
"Okay, stop talking, the children are hungry, hurry up and have a meal!" Gu Xinniang said.
"Good!" said Good
An education conference ended like this. After the car and supper, Gu Xin returned to the room. He walked in the mountains for a day and fell asleep shortly after lying down. There was one more person in the room, dressed in black and straight, looking at Gu Xin. The person who came was Heizi, staring at Gu Xin with his eyes tightly, stretching out his hand to touch the person in his sleep, but he didn't dare. Today, he saw Gu De hit Gu Xin and remembered that he had lost their child in his previous life. He also lost her.
This life will never happen. I didn’t meet my previous life today, so many things have changed.
After all, my hand still didn't fall down and disappeared in the room in the blink of an eye, as if it had never happened.
The next day, Gu Xin got up as soon as the sky was bright. Today, he was about to go up the mountain to raise potatoes and go to the town to sell them. Gu Xin knitted some noodles and prepared to make noodles. At this time, Gu Xinniang also got up.
"Why did Xin'er get up so early today?" Gu Xinniang asked
"Mom, I plan to sell the potatoes today." Gu Xin said.
Gu Xin added water to the pot, put wood in the stove door, and started rolling noodles. Gu Xinniang saw her daughter cooking, so she quickly took the rolling pin and said, "Just let me roll this noodles, you can go and have a rest."
"Mom, go pick two eggplants and make braised rice. I'll make noodles. Don't worry, I can make it." Gu Xin took the rolling pin back and said, "
Gu Xinniang had no choice but to pick eggplant. Although she was worried about Gu Xin cooking, she didn't know what to say. After all, my daughter made pasta for the first time, even if it was not done well, she would tell the old man not to say anything.
Gu Xinniang picked up the eggplant and Gu Xin was already cooking noodles. Gu Xinniang picked up the knife and wanted to cut the eggplant. Gu Xin snatched it over and said, "Mom, go feed the chickens, I'll cook them, and you can eat when you come back."
Gu Xinniang went out of the kitchen to feed her chickens, ducks and geese. Gu Xin took out the noodles, cleaned the water in the pot, chopped the eggplant, and put some lard in the pot. A fishy smell came to his nose, making Gu Xin feel a little disgusting. Gu Xin thought that after selling the potatoes, he would squeeze out the soybean oil. He added chopped green onions to the pot, and added some salt and less water. After the pot was opened, Gu Xin grabbed the flour and put it in thicken it, and then put it out of the pot.
"Her mother made the noodles today!" Goode said
"It was done by Xin'er today," said Gu Xinniang.
"It was done by Xin'er! My daughter has grown up." Goode said
"I will do it often in the future," Gu Xin said
After dinner, Gu Xin said he would go to sell potatoes, and Gu De went to borrow a ox cart with Mr. Li. Gu Xin Heizi took the basket and went up the mountain to raise potatoes. Halfway through, Uncle Li and Gu De rushed to stop coming. Five baskets of potatoes were raised, so Gu Xin would not let him go. I don’t know what would happen if he sold it for the first time today, so he started so many things first.
Because it was sandy land, the potatoes were big and numerous, and there were not many places in five baskets. When he drove the ox cart to the town, Gu Xin came to Zhou Xiujie's grocery store. Zhou Xiujie happened to be there. There was a pretty woman inside, and her hair was tied up. She should be Zhou Xiujie's wife, but she was not enthusiastic about them.
"Uncle Gu, Sister Xin is here," said Zhou Xiujie.
"Your sister, I found new food and wanted you to help sell it." Goode said
"What is it to eat, let me see." Zhou Xiujie said
As he said that, he walked outside, came to the carriage, saw the lumps of soil, and frowned and said, "Sister, this is what you said to eat."
"Brother Zhou, don't look bad at these things, but these potatoes can be used as dishes and rice. This way, I'll make a dish for Brother Zhou and you can try it." Gu Xin said.
"Okay, the kitchen is behind, Xiaoyu, please take your heart to your sister." Zhou Xiujie said
The woman frowned and did not say anything, leading Gu Xin to the kitchen in the backyard. The kitchen was very clean. The woman turned around and went out without any intention of helping.
Gu Xin made a shredded potato pancake and served it for them to taste. Zhou Xiujie had eaten it and said he was praised. He asked Gu Xin how many of them were. Gu Xin said it was tens of thousands of pounds, but Zhou Xiujie said it was too much. He couldn't sell it here, saying that the restaurants in the county might use it.
Several people drove the car to the county town. Zhou Xiujie was going to follow him, but his wife refused to let him tell me what to do with the shop at home. Zhou Xiujie asked Gu Xin and the others to go to Chengde Restaurant in the county, and he knew the shopkeeper Liu.
He drove the ox cart and a few people to Chengde Restaurant and found Manager Liu. Manager Liu was a man in his early forties and was slightly fat. He heard that it was Zhou Xiujie who introduced Laide to Gu Xin and the others. Manager Liu had never heard of Tudou and Shuai Gu Xin, but Gu Xin still borrowed the kitchen. This time he made a lot of dishes, including potato stewed chicken, potato chips, potato stewed beef, potato stewed pork ribs,... The table of dishes was full, and Manager Liu was a little afraid to eat them. Gu Xin took the bowl directly and asked Gu De and Mr. Heizi Li to eat together. Manager Liu also picked up the bowl and started eating. After the meal, he talked with Manager Liu about the price of potatoes.
"How does Manager Liu think of this potato!" Gu Xin asked.
"Okay, okay, why don't this potato girl be sold?" said Manager Liu.
"I only have this potato in Xinde County, but I can say that in the entire Dayin, I only have it," Gu Xin said.
"Haha, the girl said, I don't know the price," Liu Zhanzhu said
"How much does the shopkeeper Liu plan to do?" Gu Xin said
When talking about a deal, the loser was lost. Neither of the two of them was willing to give a bid. In the end, Manager Liu gave in.
Manager Liu paid eight cents per pound to buy Guxin potatoes. Guxin's eight cents were too little, at least ten cents. Manager Liu refused to give in. In the end, the two people sold for nine cents, but they had to sign a contract, so Guxin could only sell it to his family.
Gu Xin only signed a contract for one year because the potato yield is large and there is no need for good land. In the next year, Gu Xin planned to let the whole village plant. Scarce is expensive, and there are too many things, so it will naturally be worthless. In the future, it will be cooperated with Manager Liu. Gu Xin's handwriting is not good-looking, so Gu De can't write, so he had to sign it with Gu Xin. Gu Xin is very grateful for this openness to women, which is allowed for women to do business.
There were about five hundred kilograms in the car, and Manager Liu stayed all of them, but he paid another thousand kilograms to order.
Send Gu Xin and the other shopkeeper Liu hurriedly delivered a letter to the capital and sent the potatoes over.
Gu Xin and the others left the restaurant and bought some paper and pens in the county. Unexpectedly, Li Pu, who was expensive in paper and pen, spent a dozen or two silver dollars on Gu Xin, and then went home directly. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yingjie was at her house.
"Brother Jie is here," Gu Xin said
"Didn't Sister Xin say I take me to Huang to see you?" Zhou Yingjie said
"Okay! I'm going to have something to look for you." Gu Xin said.
The two of them came to the wasteland behind. The watermelon grew well, as big as two fists. It rained several times last month. In June, the child's face changed as soon as possible. Thanks to these rains, the watermelon grew so big.
According to the climate here, winter comes relatively late, and the watermelon can ripen. When you see this watermelon, Gu Xin is like seeing silver waving like her. It’s very beautiful to think about it. Who told me to live with debt?
"How did Xin'er know Tudou?" Zhou Yingjie heard his father talk about Tudou through the scriptures
A person has changed too much, which makes him a little suspicious. So today I want to try it out.
"Of course it was taught by the master. When I was a child, I met an old man with white beard. I gave the food to the old man, and he taught me. But the old man only stayed for half a year and left, asking me not to tell others that he had seen him." Gu Xin said.
"Brother Jie doesn't know when my sister will go up the mountain to play!" Zhou Yingjie said
"Of course it's when you go to school, and there's someone to play with me." Gu Xin said angrily.
"I saw fish in the river before going to the village yesterday. I caught two of them for my sister one day." Zhou Yingjie said
"Brother Jie forgot that Xin'er doesn't like eating fish the most. It's my mother who likes to eat fish." Gu Xin knew that Zhou Yingjie was testing her, but she had the memory of the original owner, so she was not afraid of him trying.
"It's been a long time. Brother Jie has forgotten his head. By the way, what's wrong with Sister Xin'er asking me for?" Zhou Yingjie said
"It's nothing. I just want Brother Jie to teach me how to write. Brother Jie also knows that I didn't like to write when I was a child. Today, when I went to the county, others would laugh at me." Gu Xin said.
"Okay, I'll teach you tomorrow." Zhou Yingjie said
The two of them talked about their childhood again, and Zhou Yingjie felt relieved. When he returned home, Gu Xin lay directly on the bed. He was tired! He was tired! She knew that everyone in her family was suspicious of her change, including Gu Xinniang and Gu De. However, Heizi never doubted her, as if her change was justified.
She was sleeping in a daze. Gu Xin was called to eat by her mother. He didn't see Heizi at the dinner table. Gu Xin didn't ask, this was a normal phenomenon, but why didn't Gu Xin's parents doubt it? After dinner, Gu Xin packed up the dishes and felt that he had to go to the village to make food. If he couldn't sleep directly, he would have to grow a pound of meat. Follow the village road and walked to the small forest in front of the village, just as he was about to walk back when he heard someone saying, "Brother Heizi, these are the shoes I made for you." The delicate voice sounded so familiar. Brother Heizi, you don't have an affair.
Gu Xin came to a big tree lightly, and now he saw the two people in the woods clearly
"No, I have shoes, the girl has nothing to do with me." Kuroko replied
"Brother Heizi made these shoes by myself, and it is my dedication!" the woman said.
"I don't know when my fiancé needs to accept other people's wishes." Gu Xin turned out from behind the tree and said.
