Song Qiu was thinking in her mind that she didn't plan to tell her grandma yet. She thought it was almost done and she would talk about it then, so as not to worry her grandma too.
Now that the workshop has stopped, Song Qiu no longer wants Old Yuan to come to the inn every day. Instead, he stays at home every day, warming up and talking with Old Deng, and just lives a leisurely and comfortable life without being so tired.
But it was close to the New Year, and there were many things to do. Old Yuan really couldn't rest. Seeing that everyone in the village was soaking glutinous rice to make glutinous rice cakes and glutinous rice balls, he asked Song Qiu to buy a lot of glutinous rice and make it.
I saw that Mr. Deng had bought several strips of meat and was about to marinate and smoke them. He couldn't sit still and stared at the pigs in the backyard every day, thinking about when to kill them.
Song Qiu also found it funny. The old man couldn't stop worrying about these things at home, and he always looked the same.
However, when it comes to organizing New Year matters, of course the more busy you are, the happier you will be.
There are many people in the family this year, so Song Qiu can only buy a lot of glutinous rice.
Talking about the bacon, Song Qiu felt that his pigs were really small, and they only had about a hundred kilograms of meat when they were killed, which was not much more, and it was not enough to eat.
Not to mention, she also planned to serve bacon dishes in the inn.
Therefore, Song Qiu and Lao Yuan discussed buying a fat pig from outside and killing it together.
After hearing this, Mr. Yuan was also very happy. He killed two pigs to celebrate the New Year. This year was the first year that his family was not poor, so he couldn't live a more lively life?
I want my wife, son, and daughter-in-law to be watching from the heavenly spirits and be happy for them.
I immediately went to find Butcher Wang.
He specializes in killing pigs for people, and he often kills fat pigs and sends them to the meat sellers in town. He knows which ones sell fat pigs.
It would be a good idea to ask him to help bring a fat pig back.
Butcher Wang heard Old Yuan's intention and immediately agreed. After the fat pigs were bought, they hurried to Song's house to start killing the New Year pigs.
The village knew that the Song family was going to kill two pigs this year, and they were very envious.
However, they are not bad this year. They all bought a few strips of meat and wanted to smoke bacon for the Chinese New Year.
Especially the Liu Caigui family, who made a lot of money this year because of Song Qiu, bought seventy or eighty kilograms of meat in one go, which was marinated and smoked.
Don’t panic this year. Even the Cao family, which was the poorest in previous years, will be able to eat meat this year.
Therefore, the whole village is full of joy every day, and everyone is looking forward to the New Year.
It's time to celebrate the New Year, and there are many people buying new year's goods. No, Song Qiu took Du Chuanfu's mule cart to the town early in the morning, and several villagers were picked up on the cart.
There were also those who went early, taking the ox cart driven by the Zhou family and his son and going first.
Today, King Orion also went to the town, and it was quite lively along the way.
When they arrived in the town, some aunts from the village who were riding in the car wanted to pay Song Qiu the fare, but Song Qiu waved her hand and refused.
She wouldn't be able to give them a lift on the return trip later, so she wouldn't be short of a few cents for the money.
The aunts smiled and thanked them, and went to the market together.
Song Qiu took Du Chuanfu to the dessert shop for a walk, had breakfast, and then walked to Pingkangfang opposite.
There were too many people. It took me a long time to get there by mule cart just now. I won’t take the mule cart now. It’s faster to walk.
Today is a big market and it's the New Year's Eve. The town is very lively. The streets are crowded and crowded. It's such a short street that it took me a long time to walk up to the stone bridge.
After crossing the bridge, Pingkangfang is also very lively.
Song Qiu was petite, so Du Chuanfu was afraid that she would be squeezed, so he stretched out his arms to protect her all the way to Zeng's home in Hewei.
In this way, we still can't avoid the principle that accidents are easy to happen when there are many people.
I was just about to pass a noodle stall, and I didn't know what was going on with the customer who was eating noodles. After saying a few words to the noodle boss, he suddenly went crazy, flipped the table, and kicked the stall again.
The hot pot of noodles was thrown out together with the stove underneath. The stove fell to the ground with a sound, only splashing out some charcoal fire, frightening passers-by.
But the pot filled with hot noodle soup flew a little further and was heading towards Song Qiu.
A lot of hot soup was spilled along the way, and people who were scalded rushed to run away.
The pot and the remaining hot soup went straight to Song Qiu's head.
Du Chuanfu reacted quickly and quickly turned around to block Song Qiu's approach. He then protected her and hid to the side, and then managed to avoid the pot that looked like it had eyes.
Only when the pot hit the ground did Song Qiu react, his heart pounded and he was so frightened.
This is really a scene where people are walking on the road and pots are falling from the sky.
She was almost going to get a big hole in her from this pot!
Scared to death! Scared to death!
She was not hit. Du Chuanfu protected her, but the noodle soup was splashed on her back. Fortunately, she was wearing thick clothes in the winter, so her skin was not burnt. Her clothes were only wet, so she couldn't wear them anymore.
There was chaos on a street, and the man who opened the stall ran away, leaving a noodle shop owner in a miserable state, being blocked by several people who wanted to apologize for spilling noodle soup.
Song Qiu turned around and caught a glimpse of the figure who had caused trouble and ran away in a hurry. He disappeared into the crowd and disappeared.
Looking at the boss on the other side who was also surrounded by people, he didn't go over to say anything to apologize. He said to Du Chuanfu, let's go, and the two of them continued to move forward.
Passing by a clothing store on the roadside, I went in first to pick out a cotton-padded jacket suitable for Du Chuanfu and let him change into it, and then continued to Zengjia Yaxing.
When I arrived at Zeng's dental shop, I found that the door was locked and it was not there?
Just then, a woman from a nearby family carried a basket and went out. When she saw Song Qiu and others at the door of Zeng's house, she said, "Are you looking for Zeng Yapo? Zeng Yapo is not here. She went to her sister's house in Changping Town for a drink yesterday afternoon.
I guess I won’t be back until tomorrow! Come back tomorrow!”
After saying that, he looked at Song Qiu and the two of them again, and then said, "But if you want to buy people, you won't come tomorrow. All the people under Zeng Yapo's hands have been sold one after another in the first two days.
Yeah! This is also Zeng Yapo's rule. She doesn't keep anyone during the New Year. She will go to her son's house during the New Year and won't stay here, so the people she has will be slowly sold out at the end of the year and she won't take anyone back. I guess
We have to wait until the first month of the year before she can find people to sell them here."
When Song Qiu heard that this was the case, he thanked the woman for telling her and had no choice but to turn around and leave.
Thinking that Zeng Yapo would not be able to sell them until the first month of the year, so she couldn't wait that long.
Seeing that it was still early, Song Qiu thought about it for a moment, thinking about the banknotes he kept close to his body, and immediately decided to go to Dongling County today.
If we set off at this time and don't delay on the way, we will definitely be able to enter the city before dark.
With this in mind, Song Qiu asked Du Chuanfu to go back to the shop to catch the mule cart, while she went to the market. Zhang Dakui and his wife in the village brought rabbits to sell today, so she went to ask someone to bring a message back to her.
Milk, so as not to worry about her milk not being able to wait for her to go back today.
She didn't say anything about going to the county, she just said she would stay in the shop in the town.
When the shop opened for business a few days ago, she stayed in the shop for a few days, so she wasn't worried about her mother.
After making an agreement with Zhang Dakui, Song Qiu left the market and walked towards the other end. He met a mule cart and got on it. Du Chuanfu drove the mule cart to the south of the town, all the way out of the town and headed towards the county seat.
