Chapter 369
The whole family goes to the market 2 Then old lady Chen calls her grandson-in-law.
He smiled so hard that his teeth were showing and his eyes were not.
Old Lady Chen's look of wanting to climb up the social ladder with her eyelids raised did not cause Chu Xun to feel disgusted.
Even Chen Qingyi just raised her eyebrows and said nothing else.
They already knew what kind of person Old Lady Chen was, so there was nothing wrong with this.
Who doesn’t want to live a good life?
The main thing is that Old Lady Chen has never been like some mean old ladies who are eager to cling on and suck your blood.
He asks for money every other day.
She just wanted to take advantage of the situation, and do it in a legitimate way.
He followed his precious granddaughter's footsteps closely, hitting her wherever she was told, and never stopped saying nice things.
We have also put in efforts for this.
For example, now, Old Lady Chen bared her teeth and said, "Grandson-in-law, what do you want to eat?
Tell grandma what you want to eat and she will make it for you!
Let me tell you, my cooking skills are very good. There are not many good things at this market, so wait until I get home.
When you go home, grandma will kill a chicken for you and make you chicken stewed with mushrooms and some vermicelli. It will be so delicious.
Just kill the fattest hen. It's the most diligent and lays eggs the most frequently, one a day, and gives you the best milk."
It cost a lot of money.
I'd even kill a chicken that lays one egg a day.
Chen Qingyi's mouth twitched. Chu Xun was gentle, supporting the old lady and speaking kindly:
"Grandma, no need, it would be a pity to kill him.
When I get back, I'll go to the farm and buy the fattest one, and call grandpa along so we can have a good meal.
I also tried the milk's cooking skills.
Xiaoyi always boasted that no one could match her cooking skills.
Chen Qingyi...
I'm not, I don't.
The old lady had never cooked before.
"Good! Good! Good!" The old lady was very proud, and her teeth were almost showing.
“After you finish eating the chicken, I’ll stew the goose for you.
It is stewed in an iron pot and surrounded by a circle of cornmeal pancakes.
Oh my, my tongue smells so good.
Your third aunt went back to her parents' home a few days ago and brought back a large piece of roe deer meat and a large piece of venison.
I'll make milk for you to try.
How about honey roasted venison?
By the way, it’s not easy for my in-laws to buy meat in Beijing, right?
There is a shortage of it all over the country. Even if your family is well-off, you probably can't eat it casually.
I'll go home in the afternoon and pack a bag of frozen meat for you, and you can mail it to your home!
Are your grandparents used to eating bean buns?
The bean buns that grandma made this year were so sticky that one of Qingzhi’s teeth fell off because of it…”
Chen Qingyi's mouth twitched.
When her grandmother wants to fool someone, she rarely fails. She is really good at speaking and seems sincere in everything she does.
The corner of Chu Xun's mouth twitched a little. His grandparents were not young anymore, but their teeth were still okay.
It shouldn't be stained!
"Grandma, please keep the things for yourself. Xiaoyi packed two big bags and mailed them off a few days ago."
"Pork, beef, mutton, roe deer meat, five chickens, and three geese!"
"I've also packed a small bag of sticky rice dumplings. They should be here by tomorrow."
Old Mrs. Chen turned around and gave Chen Qingyi a look of good work, then turned around and said with a stern face:
"Xiaoxun, Xiaoyi is my most cherished granddaughter.
He is good at studying, good-looking, and filial. He is good in every way, but he is from the countryside after all.
Your grandpa, your grandma, your dad, and your mom have no objections, right?
It's Chinese New Year, do they know you're here? Did they mail you anything?"
The old lady actually just wanted to ask whether Chu Xun's family had mailed anything to Chen Qingyi. Her granddaughter was polite, but she couldn't be accused of pushing things too far.
Her granddaughter is so outstanding.
If this happened in ancient times, even the emperor and the prince would be worthy of it. The old lady's filter is ten meters thick.
Chu Xun smiled again, his mind clear as a mirror, "Grandma, they all know, and they all like Xiaoyi..."
Before he could finish, Chen Qingyi interrupted him and asked him what he had mailed.
It wasn't appropriate for Chu Xun to say it out loud.
"Grandma, I mailed it. His stuff arrived first, and when Chu Xun went to pick it up, he happened to mail the stuff I had prepared.
There were clothes, shoes, snacks, and special wine given by Grandpa Chu Xun.
There are also some nutritional supplements. Oh, and two Beijing roast ducks. I'll send one to you tomorrow to try."
In addition, there is a pair of shiny gold bracelets.
Chu's mother even called Chu Xun to tell him that she had wanted to give him a pair of jade bracelets, but was afraid they would break in the process.
Chu Xun also said that her mother knew that she liked a big house with a garden.
I'm secretly looking for a large courtyard house, but there are none for sale right now!
What Chu Xun didn't say was that Chu's mother had already started to set her sights on the courtyard house where those people lived.
If the owner really comes back one day and wants to sell it, she will sell it immediately.
Chu's mother took a fancy to several extra-large courtyards at the foot of the imperial city.
Old Mrs. Chen was relieved, and she and Chu Xun started whispering in front again. Chen Qingyi listened with one ear and ignored it with the other.
I strolled around the back, wanting to see if there was anyone selling frogs.
This season is a good time to eat toads. Not only are the toads oily, but the seeds are also fragrant. She dares not eat the head, but only the legs and belly.
I used to buy them on the black market for 1.5 cents per pound, and they were quite big.
The big market is one of the few days when ordinary people are allowed to trade privately.
On this day, in addition to ordinary people who can come to sell things, some factories and production teams can also sell good things.
For example, there was a big pigpen where there was a forest farm and a match factory, so they could eat all the food.
But the commune said that it wanted the members who came to the market to have a good time during the New Year with meat and vegetables.
What can I do!
Just sell it, and the two factories had no choice but to agree.
Because no tickets are required, the price today is higher than that of the supply and marketing cooperatives, and this is all allowed by the higher-ups.
According to Feng Changxi, several brigade leaders were so angry that their noses were almost crooked.
There are two courageous people who are planning to run a breeding farm next year.
There are no industrial products sold in the market because they are under state control and private transactions are not allowed.
There was no one selling cotton, clothes, or fabrics because there was none.
I am short of cloth!
People keep saving up cloth coupons, they are so rare, who would sell them?
There is no one selling grain. Occasionally, a few families will exchange fine grains for coarse grains. As I said before, they can't even fill their own stomachs, so how can they sell it to others?
There is a black market, such as Uncle Zhao Er.
But they didn't dare, because grain and cotton were all purchased and sold under the unified control of the higher authorities.
We did see a few people selling fruit, and Chen Qingyi bought three pounds of frozen pears and five pounds of frozen persimmons.
Old Mrs. Chen also bought it, and Chu Xun paid for it.
Old Mrs. Chen smiled like a flower.
"Hey, what are they selling over there? It's so lively, with people three layers deep inside and three layers deep outside?"
: People who sold toads used to say that they were purely wild, but now they don’t dare to do that because it’s illegal, so they just honestly say that they are farmed.
Toads and cicada pupae are very irritating to those who dare not eat them.
But they are all very nutritious.
Here the price of female toads ranges from one hundred and twenty to one hundred and eighty.
