Chapter 24 Vinegar
The vendors were hawking on the street, and Yang Xu was watching like Tianbao. This scene was only seen in costume dramas.
But Yang Xu didn't understand why there were so many people, it was just a small town!
Wang Dayi also explained to her that there were many people in the town, and because there was only one town around, people in the surrounding villages would come to the town to buy things.
Yang Xu thought that it might be because of the terrain that the town and dozens of surrounding villages, leaning against the mountains, felt a bit isolated from the world.
There are sugar sellers on the street, which are the thin slices of syrup after drying, which cost a penny. There are many children around, and the business is quite good. Wang Dayi went over to buy one for Yang Xu and Tianbao.
Yang Xu was holding the candy man, laughing and crying. This man treated himself as a child!
The poplar slim bite, um, it's so sweet.
"Brother Dayi took a bite." Yang Xu held the candy man and came to Wang Dayi's mouth.
"I, I won't eat it, you can eat it."
Wang Dayi's face turned red. Why did Xu'er feed herself? Although she wanted to take a bite, she was embarrassed.
"Does Brother Dayi dislike me? My hands are sore, hurry up!"
Wang Dayi had no choice but to take a small bite. He didn't like to eat candy, but the taste was really good, especially sweet, and sweet to his heart.
The two of them behaved intimately as if no one else was around. Tianbao looked at the candy man in his hand and was very confused. Is it better to eat it separately?
But seeing that the candy on my hands was almost finished, and it melted a little, and it didn't look very good anymore, so I'd better not give it to my sister! It would be bad if my sister disliked her.
Yang Xu was wondering, why is the most common candied haws in costume dramas not sold?
"Brother Dayi, have you ever seen food made from hawthorns covered with syrup and skewed into a string of bamboo sticks?"
"No. Do you want to eat hawthorn? That one is too sour. There are hawthorn trees on the mountain, but it is too sour. If you want to eat it, let's buy hawthorn cake, which one is more delicious."
"There is a hawthorn tree on the mountain? Brother Dayi will take me to see it tomorrow! I thought of a delicious snack, and I will make it at home when I go back."
"good."
Yang Xu thought that if there is no candied haws on the street, then you can make it yourself and make more for it to sell on the street, and you can make some money!
There is a Hawthorn Tree Mountain, so go and buy some candy yourself!
Yang Xu planned to go to the salt-selling place to take a look first, buy some sugar and salt first, and then see if there are other condiments.
The result was really disappointing, not even simple vinegar or soy sauce.
"I don't know what the girl wants to buy?"
"Is there any sour thing that can be placed in the dish? There is also a kind of fresh and black one that is also placed in the dish to adjust the color." Yang Xu tried hard to describe it. Maybe there are some things sold, but I don't know it myself!
"The shop has been open for many years, but I have never heard what the girl said."
Sour? Why do you have to make the good dishes sour? And that black one, the black one is not good-looking!
The shopkeeper shook his head in his heart. It was really a strange girl.
"Okay, thank you shopkeeper, then I'll buy two pounds of sugar and two pounds of salt."
"Okay!"
Poplar was disappointed. Without soy sauce or vinegar, I had many delicious dishes that I couldn’t make!
But after watching here for a long time, I would like to ask others to buy something! Anyway, salt and sugar are needed at home.
Yang Xu thought for a long time and found that the soy sauce was made of beans, but he found that the villagers did not grow beans. So, there was no soy sauce, not even the sauce I liked.
Vinegar is made of grain, huh? Yes, there must be wine shops in the town, and there must be places where people make wine, because it is impossible to make wine without any mistakes. If it is sour, it is the simplest vinegar!
"Brother Dayi, where are the wine sellers in the town?"
"Sister, do you want to buy wine? But wine is not a good thing."
When Tianbao heard that Yang Xu was going to the place where he sold wine, he became anxious. His sister would not want to buy a bar for his brother-in-law!
However, when you get drunk, you will hit people! Dahua’s father in the village is like this. When you get drunk, you will hit Dahua and her mother!
"What are you thinking! I'll check if there is any sour vinegar. I'll buy it and make delicious food for you, and I won't buy wine."
Yang Xu was so amused that she was so funny. What was this child thinking?
"Yes, that's ahead."
"Cheer, are you drinking?"
The waiter was kind to entertain, but this combination was quite strange, and few women came to buy wine.
"I want to ask if any of your wine brews are broken! I want to buy the broken one."
Poplar is straight to the point. This wine shop is quite large and brews a lot of wine, so there should be some broken ones!
"Hey, you are so strange. Don't want to drink well, you will break it. You won't buy it, and then come to find fault on purpose!"
The waiter looked at Yang Xu vigilantly.
"The little brother is too worried, and I don't hide it from you. I heard that the broken wine will become sour. I actually want to use it to cook. My taste is quite special and I like to eat sour ones." Yang Xu smiled.
"So that's the case! Then wait here, I'll ask the shopkeeper."
Xiao Er scratched his head and walked backwards. Why do anyone like to eat sour dishes? It's so strange.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant is a fat middle-aged man who looks quite amiable.
"Is it you want to buy sour wine?"
"Yes, I want to buy some for cooking. I don't know if there are any shopkeepers."
"If there is, there is, the sour wine we make will be dumped, and the remaining grain will be sold to others at a low price to feed pigs and horses. How much do you want?"
The shopkeeper also looked at Yang Xu with a strange look.
"I just want a small jar. I didn't bring anything to you this time. If the shopkeeper's convenience is convenient, I will sell it to us with the jar!"
"Okay. Sour wine is not expensive, only five cents, and two cents for a jar."
Yang Xu agreed, and he would buy the jar himself and get three pennies. Sour wine is also made of grain, so it is not expensive for five pennies.
Yang Xu thanked the shopkeeper and paid the money. Wang Dayi left with the jar.
Yang Xu remembered that it was not a good way to teach Tianbao to read all the time, so she planned to buy a few enlightenment books at the bookstore. It was best to buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and not let Tianbao write and draw on the ground all the time.
Yang Xu felt that she would definitely let Tianbao go to a private school, so she had to let Tianbao study. Moreover, Tianbao is eight years old, and it is the age to go to school.
There is no private school in the village, only in the town, but the journey is long. A child in Tianbao cannot do it at all.
Yang Xu wanted to move to the town to live. It is okay to live with Wang Dayi on the mountain, but Tianbao cannot always be a child, he needs a playmate. In addition, if he has children, he will not be able to live on the mountain all the time.
One of my family relies on Wang Dayi to hunt, and although it did not let itself starve, it was too dangerous to hunt. There were wolves and some birds of prey on the mountain. If you don’t pay attention, you will be in danger of your life.
Moreover, hunting is full of uncertainty. There is no prey on the mountains in winter. Sometimes, if you are not lucky, you cannot catch it. You cannot hunt in windy and rainy days.
Yang Xu thought that it was time to think about a business that could make money, and then it would be best to move to the town as soon as possible!
