Chapter 17: Chapter 17

Chapter 17 17 The knowledgeable old lady

Xiaodouzi grinned happily and narrowed his eyes. He took it and handed it to Lin Lan's mouth: "Mom, eat it."

"Good baby." Lin Lan took a bite and said, "It's soft, sweet, and delicious!"

Xiaodouzi took a small bite and said, "Eat one for Mom and Douzi, and leave one for Grandma."

"Good baby!" Lin Lan agreed with a smile. She looked at it for a while and found that the woman's business was not bad, and she made several orders in a short time.

Lin Lan looked around and felt that this place was really good for selling things. It was connected in all directions, and even those with red armbands could run away.

The mother and son walked through the woods to the alley and saw several rows of two-story dormitories with large red slogans written on the walls.

Passing through the alleyway, there are rows of small courtyards, and the walls are also covered with large characters.

The workers held their heads high and looked at people through their nostrils, looking really impressive.

Lin Lan looked around and walked back with Douzi on his back with satisfaction. When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Douzi said: "Mom, give cakes to grandma."

"Orchid beans!" The old lady said in disbelief, "Can you do it?"

Go buy some kraft paper and come back, I will help you paste dozens of paper bags. Each bag contains three taels and sells for two cents a bag. If you try it and sell it, you can make more."

Xiaodouzi nodded heavily: "Mom, the beans will grow taller after eating them, and I will make money to buy cakes for you."

The old lady looked at her with satisfaction and said something disgusting: "I'm helping Xiaodouzi, not you. Just stop talking nonsense and live a good life to thank me."

The mother and son came out of Third Uncle Nai's house and walked to the ditch when they saw Zhang Yazhen poking her head at the door.

The old lady waved her hands, turned around and entered the house.

"I'll get them for you!" The old lady turned around and went into the house, took out a small bag of ramie seeds and gave them to Lin Lan. "Sprinkle some under the wall and on both sides of the wing. Pigs are most willing to eat them."

Lin Lan washed the pots and dishes, went out to collect the clothes, went to the west wing to find a urea bag, took it apart and took it to the drain to scrub it clean, shake the water and dry it on the bamboo pole.

"I just know how to order the old lady." The old lady smiled and glanced at her angrily, "Here, go back and cook."

"Hey!" Lin Lan gave her all the remaining money in his pocket: "Tomorrow morning I will bring the grain and oil book, and you can help me buy a pound of sugar and two pounds of straw paper. Do you know where I can buy pepper noodles?"

Lin Lan kissed him: "Little oily mouth! Go walk around the yard to relieve your hunger!"

The old lady looked at her with some relief and lowered her voice: "That thing consumes oil and the seasonings used are not cheap. You should make less at the beginning and don't sell it by the pound.

Lin Lan looked at her pretending to be aggrieved: "Third uncle, I have already returned it to them."

The old lady looked at the chicken cake and touched Douzi's head happily: "Good boy, my grandma doesn't like eating it. Little Douzi will grow taller after eating it."

The old lady took it and put it aside. She was delighted and said to Lin Lan with a tiger face: "Change your greedy habits and return the money you paid to Zhang Yazhen. Remember, you owe people

You are always in debt."

"Yeah!" Xiaodouzi walked towards the yard with his short legs.

The old lady rolled her eyes at her: "Then what are you doing in the woods?"

After hearing this, Lin Lan looked at her with bright eyes and gave her a thumbs up: "This is a good idea. Third uncle, I will give you money, can you buy kraft paper for me?"

Lin Lan walked a few steps, then suddenly remembered something and turned around: "Uncle, do you still have ramie seeds at home?"

She picked up a hoe and started to dig the ground, and dug the area along the east wing against the wall. It was getting dark. She hurriedly mixed plant ash, sprinkled half of the ramie seeds on the ground, poured water and closed the courtyard door.

I took the urea bag and Xiaodouzi back to the kitchen.

Lin Lan looked at her gratefully and bowed to her respectfully: "Thank you, uncle."

Knocking on the door, Xiaodouzi handed the chicken cake to the old lady: "Grandma, the cake is soft and delicious!"

Lin Lan thought of asking her to help look at Xiaodouzi when she was selling things. She hesitated and said, "I got some peas and want to make some orchid beans to sell."

Lin Lan looked at her and solemnly replied: "I remember." She felt that the old lady was a typical smart-mouthed person, and it was a blessing for her and Xiaodouzi to have such an elder by their side.

After the mother and son took a shower, Lin Lan told Xiaodouzi a story and sewed a drawstring bag with a dried urea bag before falling down to sleep.

Boil the potatoes with the sprouts cut off, use a kitchen knife to crush the potatoes into puree, boil them into a paste, and stir-fry a plate of vegetables for rice.

The old lady stopped closing the door and said, "Also, do you want to sow seeds to feed the pigs?"

A large bundle of tawny straw paper, a pound of sugar, a packet of pepper, several thick paper bags, and a colander made of bamboo strips.

In the afternoon, she cut the cow grass early and returned it to the drying field. As soon as she got home, her third uncle's grandmother came with Xiaodouzi on her back.

The old lady nodded: "I'll buy it for you tomorrow."

Xiaodouzi was very satisfied with the potato paste: "Mom, I like to eat potato shreds and potato paste."

When Zhang Yazhen saw them coming back, she rolled her eyes at Lin Lan, turned around and walked into the courtyard with her head held high, and slammed the courtyard door with a bang.

"Okay!" The mother and son sent the cake to Third Uncle Nai's house.

Lin Lan smiled and said: "Third uncle milk, you can eat it! I have been pinching the beans all the way home and thinking about giving them to you!"

Lin Lan nodded: "Yeah! I want to make some money to buy two piglets to feed."

Lin Lan smiled and nodded: "Thank you."

Lin Lan nodded with a smile, "Yes, I've already soaked them, and they can be fried tomorrow afternoon." He looked at the old lady with a flattering look on his face, "My fried orchid beans taste pretty good, you can try them later.

Let’s see if we can sell it for money.”

The next day, Lin Lan met Lao Chen who was picking up cow dung with a sack and saw that he was in much better spirits.

Now that I know how to find a way to make money to support my family, it seems that I have really woken up.

Lin Lan wiped away the rice grains from the corner of his mouth with a smile: "There are many delicious ways to eat potatoes. Mom grew a lot of them and will cook them for you in the future."

Lin Lan felt that this woman was a bit strange. The original owner owed you money, but she paid you back. Every time she met her, her nose was not her nose, and her eyes were not eyes. There must be something wrong with her!

She led the beans and walked straight across the tractor path toward the courtyard gate. She saw a basket of sprouted potatoes at the courtyard door. Thinking that Yang Liying had said that she would send some potato seeds at noon, she carried them in and busiedly planted the potato sprouts.

Cut it and plant it before starting to cook.

The old lady also changed the remaining money into change.

Lin Lan looked at her in surprise: "Uncle, why did you spend so much money?"

The old lady smiled and said: "The sugar cost is six cents and fifty-one pounds, the straw paper is one and two cents, and the kraft paper is divided into two pieces. I bought the pepper noodles from an old sister who makes food. The colander was given to her, and the kraft paper is just one piece."

five."

Lin Lan took the money and said embarrassedly: "You owe me a favor by buying things for me. When I make money, I will treat your old sisters to delicious food."
