The glutinous rice was getting stickier and sticky, and neither Li Feng nor Li Xiaoman realized how well they cooperated at this time. In the kitchen, grandma's smile seeped into every wrinkle, and at first grandpa Zhang Tian didn't understand what the old woman was doing secretly. At this moment, he saw
The old woman pointed at the two people outside and smiled from ear to ear. Zhang Tian still didn't know where he was. In the past two days, Zhang Tian and Li Xiaoman felt that this child was quite good. What was he doing? There was also a baby for Li Xiaoman.
Quite a few points.
The old man's family still pays great attention to whether the children can be around. Manying is busy with work, so the old man doesn't say anything, and feels a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"Xiaolan, look at how these two children look like a couple." Grandma clapped her hands happily. Zhang Lan didn't see it, but she tried it several times, and both Li Feng and Li Xiaoman had very clear intentions. Li Feng kept saying
He said that he would hold a banquet and get a marriage certificate when Manying had time. Li Xiaoman realized what he meant, but there was no reply. The meaning was clear, Li Xiaoman didn't have this idea, or maybe he was worried about Manying.
"Mom, don't worry about this. Xiaobao has his own idea." Zhang Lan doesn't want Li Xiaoman to be his daughter-in-law. Looking at Manying's busy work, let alone giving birth to a child, she even reminded her of it after two days of rest.
Maybe there was something that had to go back. This was one of the reasons why Zhang Lan favored Li Xiaoman. How could Li Feng know that he and Li Xiaoman had played glutinous rice cake for a while, which made several old people think so much. Li Feng tried it.
It was very sticky, so the man took a ball and threw it into his mouth. He closed his eyes and seemed to enjoy it. But Li Feng did not enjoy it for a while. He felt that his clothes were being pulled by someone. When he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of black water.
His big eyes were looking at him curiously.
"Dad, you're awake." The baby was very happy, but as he spoke, Li Feng felt a black line on his forehead. He just tasted the delicious glutinous rice cake, so why did he fall asleep? Li Feng rubbed his daughter's little head, knowing that the baby was not very well.
Gao Xing pushed Li Feng with his little hand, and Li Feng stopped.
"Mom, look, daddy messed up the baby's hair again." Li Xiaoman rolled her eyes at Li Feng angrily and pulled the baby over. "We're ignoring daddy. Mommy will tie it up for you." "Yeah" the baby said hard.
After nodding her little head, but her hair had just been tied up, the little girl ran to Li Feng and shook his arm. She acted like a baby. Li Xiaoman didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The girl said it was okay, but it didn't last two minutes.
"Dad, let's go and exchange for candy. Uncle said that only three kilograms of rice can be exchanged for a large bag of candy. It will be delicious for the baby. The white round ones are so delicious." It turned out that the three children had fed the animals well.
Xiao Longnu didn't want to come out and went back to sleep. Mengmeng said she would go find Linlin and Erya to play. They were having a good time, but a tricycle came to the entrance of the village with all kinds of candy balls on it. The driver was 24 or 25 years old.
Man, there was a young woman sitting in the car. There was a young couple with a car full of candy. The two of them saw a baby and several cute little girls who came up and asked what they were doing. Besides, I was in the children's business.
The woman had a two or three-year-old daughter at home, and she liked the children, especially the cute little girls. She grabbed several kinds of candies and gave them to the little girls to taste. At the same time, the man said that he could buy candies and exchange them for rice, corn, and soybeans.
Cheng. This baby who doesn’t eat quickly carries the mission of Mengmeng and Lingdang and runs back to Li Feng to exchange for candy.
"Three kilograms of rice?" Li Feng didn't expect that there was still a sugar exchange business today. He thought that after so many years, it was no longer there. In the past, everyone was not rich and had no money, but this year must be passed.
Someone was smart enough to make a bullock cart, use rice to make some rice krispie treats, and start pulling them along the road in exchange for fishermen to eat. They exchanged them for salted fish. These salted fish were then exchanged for dry land with little water, and exchanged for corn and soybeans. You can find these.
Trade it elsewhere and earn some price difference by going back and forth.
It’s just that the economy has developed in recent years, and most people who have money in their hands buy and sell directly. This exchange for rice has decreased or even disappeared.
"Well, it's delicious. This is what the baby brought to daddy. Dad, let's pretend to be Mimi." The baby took out a candy wrapped in paper and sugar melon seeds, which were as white as dried noodles.
At one time, Li Feng thought that sugar melon seeds were made from dough. Sugar melon seeds are very sticky, with white powder on the surface. The particles are small and large. The small ones are no bigger than a glass ball. One can be chewed for a while. The big ones are as big as a small watermelon. These
You need to use a knife or even an ax to split it. Li Feng loves to eat sugar melon seeds, but this kind of candy is too sticky to the teeth. If you have bad teeth, you may not dare to eat it. Sugar is not expensive, only four or five yuan a pound, and three pounds of rice is still a bit of a loss.
.Li Feng doesn't want to do it. His rice is of good quality and delicious, and now that he has a large family, he may not have enough for his family.
"Baby, the rice at home has to be made into rice. You can't exchange it for candy, otherwise you will be hungry in the future." Li Feng said that the baby was unwilling. Sister Mengmeng was still waiting for the baby. The baby had agreed with his uncle to pretend a lot.
The food is coming. "How about we pack the corn?" There are piles of corn in Li Feng's house, and there are piles of corn in the space.
"Corn, uncle didn't even say anything." The baby pouted, lowered his head and kicked his boots. This girl. "Haha, if he doesn't change, daddy can buy it for you, little greedy cat." Li Feng pinched it.
The girl had a small face, and the baby scratched her little mouth. "Okay, look, the little mouth is hanging from the oil can." Li Feng loaded twenty or thirty kilograms of corn. Two and a half kilograms of corn can be worth a kilogram of rice.
Li Feng held his pocket and held the baby with a little pout, and Li Xiaoman watched the fun together. He just gave Li Xiaoman the sugar melon seeds. Li Xiaoman chewed the sweetness very much, and it was a little sticky to the teeth. It was good, but after eating
It tastes pretty good.
"Uncle, the baby is back. Dad, mom, and uncle are great people for the baby and sister Mengmeng, as well as little cousin Lingdang, sister Erya, and sister Linlin. They eat a lot of sweets, which are delicious." The baby finished.
A little shy, the little girl was embarrassed. "Uncle, daddy said that the baby didn't have enough rice at home and only had corn. Uncle, would you like to change it?"
"Haha, uncle, let's change it. Seven pounds of corn is one pound of sugar melon seeds, and eight pounds of corn is one pound of halva seeds. Maltose is more expensive." Sugar melon seeds cost four to five yuan per catty, while halva seeds only cost five or six yuan. As for maltose, it is expensive.
It didn't taste good. Li Feng didn't want to exchange it. Li Feng looked at the sugar melon seeds. Some sugar melon seeds had too much flour added, and the sweetness and viscosity were not good enough. Li Feng looked at there were four or five different sizes of sugar melon seeds.
"This one weighs five kilograms. Come and try one." The five kilograms of sugar melon seeds are as big as the mouth of a lotus leaf bowl, the size of an ordinary round plate, the size of a fist as big as five or six taels, and the mouth of the bowl is about a kilogram, or even
Li Feng asked for 2,30 taels, and mechanical watch sizes. Li Feng asked for two jins. He had two 5,6 taels, one for about a jin, the largest one, and a glass ball for three jins. He gave the corn to others and paid for another.
It cost about 30 yuan. The big sugar melon seeds were thrown directly into the flour bag and they would not melt. The small ones should not be exposed to the air too much, otherwise they would melt together and make a big ball impossible to eat. The biggest ones were saved for the New Year night.
Cut it open and eat it. I asked for three to four kilograms of halva. Li Feng also saw the egg roll, which was yellow and crispy with red and white sugar particles inside. It cost five yuan a kilogram. Li Feng asked for three kilograms. Finally, he saw something like this in the big filling basket.
Li Feng happily asked for seven or eight kilograms of cow dung candy. The man only picked up large black lumps that looked like cow dung and put them in the bag.
"Haha, when I was a kid, I loved secretly eating cow dung candies at home. I love the taste the most, it's sweet." Li Feng pretended while talking to Li Xiaoman. Unfortunately, Li Feng was a bit highbrow now and was too vulgar for his hobby.
"The eldest brother said, yes, when I was a child, I loved to go to my grandma's house to steal cow dung candies. At that time, they were still wrapped in hard yellow paper. My favorite thing to do when I was a child was to touch each yellow paper bag to see what was inside.
There are sugar lumps. "Cow dung sugar, a kind of brown sugar, easily melts into black and red dumplings, lumps. Although the taste is not as delicious as today's candy, it was still a favorite in rural areas at that time. There was no spare money at that time.
Buying sweets for the children, and getting some cow dung candy and candy cubes to satisfy their cravings. Now that I saw it, no wonder Li Feng was excited, but it was a pity that he got too excited and bought too much.
Li Feng talked with the young man selling candy for a long time. The more they talked, the more they talked. Li Feng bought too much candy, and the wife next to him ignored him when she asked him to weigh it. The two talked about the times when they were making trouble when they were children.
, laughed loudly, irritating Baobao, Mengmeng, and Lingdang, the three little guys gathered together and whispered in a low voice.
"It turns out that uncle was so naughty when he was a child. Mengmeng went back and told aunt." Mengmeng raised her little ears to listen to Li Feng's self-deprecation about the troubles he made when he was a child. The baby pulled his father and pouted, and Li Feng lowered his head and patted his forehead.
Why did I forget that the baby and the children were still there. It was over now. From now on, I could spend more time disciplining the naughty little ones. Li Feng was really speechless. There were so many interesting things in his childhood. Li Xiaoman heard this for the first time
As Li Feng talked about his childhood, especially his naughty side.
"Take the money, haha." The young couple happily took the money handed over by Li Fenggao. Li Feng bought more than a hundred yuan of candies each. The young man was not stingy and grabbed two handfuls of candies and gave them to the baby as gifts. Li Feng carried them
As Tang Tang walked on the road, he felt very uncomfortable.
"Mengmeng, what's wrong with you? Is there something on uncle's body?" Li Feng felt Mengmeng blinking and looking at him secretly with her big eyes. What's wrong with this little girl? Let's eat the candy in his hand first.
"Uncle, why do you want to eat cow dung candies secretly, and Grandma Zhang won't give it to you? How pitiful." Mengmeng looked sympathetic, Li Feng almost jumped on her, Li Xiaoman pursed her lips and secretly laughed, Baobao and Bell
He blinked his big eyes and looked at Li Feng, waiting for Li Feng's answer. "This is what Mengmeng will know when he grows up." Li Feng really couldn't answer. Why do you say that cow dung candy has a unique melting taste? It's so special. Li Feng hasn't had it for many years.
I've seen it before. In the past, there were big baskets (one meter in diameter made of cattail poles like a big basin) filled with cow dung candies and sold all over the village. Nowadays they are rare and have almost disappeared. (To be continued.
