"It's such a big can, how long will it take to finish three cans?" The old lady saw her old man asking for three cans with a murderous look in her eyes.
"This blessing cannot be interrupted..." Fang Xiexi had a reason for this.
The old woman looked at the old man, his eyes full of wine, and finally compromised and asked for two cans. She had originally thought that since she had enough money, she could buy three cans, but was told that each can cost 25 yuan. Two cans would be 50 yuan, her monthly allowance. "You will have no allowance for next month."
Hey! "You old woman..." That's totally unreasonable! Fang Xiehe wanted to say something, but seeing that he had three cans of wine, he decided not to argue with the old woman for now and went home to taste the wine first! Then he would ask his son and grandson for more pocket money.
Cheng Zhenzhu didn't expect that the old lady was such a rich one. She gave her fifty yuan without any bargaining and gave her a good start.
After receiving the money, Cheng Zhenzhu repeated some precautions, "Auntie, this is medicinal wine. Although it is good for the body, you can't drink too much. Don't drink more than one or two ounces a day. It's best to drink it two or three times..."
"One or two ounces a day, what's the point?" Fang Xiehe immediately disagreed.
"One or two ounces a day is just what I want." The old lady smiled, her eyes becoming more kind, and then she asked a few younger generations to help carry the wine back.
As soon as the price of 25 per can was announced, the enthusiasm of the onlookers cooled. When the few people who came to join in the fun saw that the second aunt said she wanted to move the wine, they had no objection and each of them carried away a can. Fang Xiehe walked beside her with a crutch, a smile on his face.
These fools! They just heard it was expensive, but they didn't realize it was a good thing. Fortunately, he acted quickly... Fang Xiehe was smug, but when he got to the door, he suddenly forgot to take the address. He thought, what if he ran out of drinks and had nowhere to buy more?
So he asked a few young men to help him put it in the yard and then quickly turned around and walked back on crutches.
When I walked back, I saw his old woman scolding someone——
"Let's line up properly, line up properly, why are you cutting in line? Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?" The old lady knocked on the head of the younger member of the clan, not in a good mood, and directly pulled the person to the back.
She used to be a teacher, in charge of the girls and boys in this area, and she hated people who didn't follow the rules and didn't respect discipline the most...
The person who was hit was a middle-aged man, about forty years old. When his second aunt hit him on the head, he buried his head and didn't dare to say anything.
Never mind the identities and seniority of his second uncle and second aunt. The most important thing is that his second uncle and second aunt have a large family, all of whom make a lot of money. They also rely on some relatives to hope for help. How could they fall out over such a small matter?
"Let's all line up in one line. If I see anyone cutting in line again..." The old lady looked around and picked up a small stick from somewhere. "We all know the result."
The three people who had just returned from carrying the wine fell silent, quickly giving up the idea of skipping the queue, and lined up honestly...
Cheng Zhenzhu looked at the old lady helping her manage the line and maintain order and thought she was adorable. She planned to treat her to a glass of wine, a favorite of her family, shortly...
"Comrade, I want a cup of that..."
"Comrade, there is a person in my family who suffers from rheumatism. Whenever it is cloudy or rainy, his legs and feet hurt a lot. I want to try a cup of anti-rheumatic medicine..."
Although many people were shocked by the 25 yuan price tag, they took the free stuff whenever they could, so everyone got a cup. Some people didn't even ask for the promotional paper. They weren't going to buy it anyway, so why did they ask for the address?
"Little comrade, let me get a piece of this paper." Fang Xiehe came over with a cane and took a piece of paper for himself. Squinting his eyes, he saw the place written on the paper was Caoshi. He couldn't help but ask, "Little comrade, do we have to go to Caoshi to buy this wine?"
"Yes. Caoshi, if anyone needs it, you can get a 10% discount by showing this piece of paper." Cheng Zhenzhu said as she poured wine.
"Caoshi, that's across provinces..." How did this female comrade get here? Several people who received drinks nearby were shocked.
This is too far... Fang Xiehe muttered, then stood in front of the wine jar and smelled the remaining few types of wine.
If I have to travel so far, why not just buy a few more cans at once? My wife probably wouldn't be happy with me buying more, but she still has some pocket money...
After everyone got a free glass of wine, the next step was to wait for feedback. Seeing that the wine glass was empty but no one asked to buy wine, Cheng Zhenzhu was not in a hurry and calmly took out another bottle of wine from under the wooden table of the stall.
"Auntie, thank you for what you did just now. This is grape wine with a very light flavor. Would you like to try a glass?" Cheng Zhenzhu invited.
This drink is purely to thank this old lady I met by chance. It's made with a little diluted ocean blue water. Because the amount of blue water is so small, it doesn't have much of a physical effect, except that it makes the taste more refreshing...
"Fruit wine? I'd like to try it..." The old lady was about to take the wine when she noticed a hand rushing out from the side.
"Fruit wine, shouldn't I try it?" Ever since the cork of the grape wine was opened, Fang Xiehe felt tempted by the faint aroma of the wine.
"Why are you here to join in the fun? This was given to me by the young comrade!" The old lady slapped the old man's hand away, picked up the wine and drank it herself.
The first thing she said after finishing the drink was, "Little comrade, how much is this wine per can? I'll buy six!" There are many children in the family, so each family will get one can, and she will keep one for herself...
Six cans? Fang Xiehe's eyes widened! He had just bought three cans of medicinal wine and was not happy about it, but why did he suddenly buy six cans of this wine? Is this wine better than medicinal wine? But since the old woman bought so much, he would just wait and drink it...
"I'm sorry, Auntie, this wine can't be sold for the time being. I only have this small jar here..." Cheng Zhenzhu said with some embarrassment.
"Only one can?" The old lady paused as she took out the money. "Do we have to go to the market to buy it?"
