Chapter 62 Isn't it enough to just put the buns in your mouth?
Tong Xiayue took out a big stack of dumplings from her pocket, counted them and sorted out 300 yuan, plus the three bicycle tickets she had taken from the black market before, and put them in front of the snobbish man: "Here, unfortunately, it's just enough."
Seeing that the big customer was right in front of her, Xu Huahua said, "Sister, wait a moment, I'll go push the cart for you."
After that, she rushed to the warehouse to get the cart. The snobbish man stood there and turned around anxiously.
Even Ji Jiashu and Wang Xiaojun who came with her were stunned. When did she get so many bicycle tickets, and she carried so much money with her. What if they didn't follow her? How dangerous it would be!
Tong Xiayue saw their concern and approached them with a smile: "Don't the Qianzhuang guys have cars? It seems that it's not easy for them to get a car. I also considered this some time ago and got a few tickets. If we provide cars, they will be more active in doing things."
Ji Jiashu agreed with her words. At this age, it is really too difficult to get a car. Although tricycles are not available now, bicycles are indeed easier to get than tricycles.
After a while, Xu Huahua pushed three brand new bicycles in front of them and smiled: "Sister, they are all brand new Forever brand. I cleaned them for you!"
Tong Xiayue approached and saw that they were indeed polished and shiny. They were all Forever brand. This brand of bicycles is considered to be of the best quality.
After Tong Xiayue handed the money and bills to Xu Huahua, she left the supply and marketing cooperative with Ji Jiashu and Wang Xiaojun, each pushing a bicycle.
Ji Jiashu: "Can you ride a bicycle?"
Tong Xiayue smiled slightly, then stepped on the pedal with one foot, stepped on the bicycle with her right leg, and rode out.
Looking back at the two people who fell behind, she smiled and said, "Hurry up, what are you doing standing there!"
Ji Jiashu's cognition of his wife rose to a higher level. When would she learn to ride a bicycle? This is not something that ordinary people can have, let alone learn to ride.
Wang Xiaojun saw that the two of them rode up quickly, so he quickly rode up and chased after them.
Wang Xiaojun: "Brother, sister-in-law, you two should slow down!"
When the three of them rode past the ridge of the field, they received strange looks from the people around them. When would three bicycles appear in Yangliu Village at once? And these three people are almost a family.
Before entering the village, the three of them knew that the appearance of three bicycles at the same time would arouse suspicion. The village is so small, and who knows what people would say about them.
So they discussed that these three bicycles were provided by the factory where Tong Xiayue worked, and they were just borrowing them, and they would give them to the workers who came to transport goods.
Of course, Wang Xiaojun was responsible for spreading this word, and the effect was obvious. Within half a day, the whole village knew the origin of these three bicycles.
When they got home, Ji Zhiyong and Ye Lan were shocked to see three 28-ton trucks parked in their yard. Who was coming to their house? There were actually three cars parked!
The two hurried into the house and saw Tong Xiayue and Ji Jiashu cooking. After looking around, they didn't find anyone else.
Ye Lan asked curiously, "Jiashu, whose bicycles are in the yard?"
Ji Jiashu smiled and said, "Mom, they belong to ours!"
Ye Lan was shocked and said, "What? Ours? Three of them!"
Ji Jiashu looked at Tong Xiayue who was cooking and smiled, "Yes, all three are ours. Xiayue bought them and they will be used by the workers who come to pick up the goods. When they earn money and buy their own bicycles, we will take them back."
Ye Lan: "So... Are you just giving away new bikes for free?"
Tong Xiayue came over when she heard the voice and said, "They can rent the bikes. They just need to pay me five yuan per month. I'm not doing this for the money. I mainly want to solve their worries and feel at ease doing my job."
Ji Zhiyong nodded. He had never met such a strong-willed and knowledgeable girl. He was very proud that such a girl was his daughter-in-law.
Two days later, Zhao Qian and Zhang Cuihua started helping Tong Xiayue cut vegetables, chop meat, mix stuffing, and make dumplings in the afternoon...
Tong Xiayue bought some meat with meat coupons, and the rest was taken from the space, which didn't cost much. The wild vegetables were dug by the whole family, including Wang Xiaojun's family, when they were free. The wild vegetables on the mountain were the most juicy at this time of year, and the group dug a lot without much effort.
The glutinous rice for making barbecue was also bought in advance, and the beans were ready at home. If there were not enough, they would go to other families in the village to collect them.
The breakfast at the beginning was not prepared to be too fancy, so these simple ones were enough.
They were just helping Tong Xiayue, and the main task of mixing the stuffing was still Tong Xiayue herself, after all, only she knew the recipe.
After she made the stuffing for the steamed buns and the shaomai, everyone helped to make the steamed buns and shaomai.
There was a big stone mill in the house, which was just right for grinding soy milk. Of course, this was the job of the men.
The whole family was busy for a whole afternoon, and the breakfast that could be sold at the stall the next day was ready. A small part was kept, and the rest was stored in the cellar in the backyard.
Tong Xiayue steamed all the steamed buns, steamed buns and shaomai that were left, and made some for Wang Xiaojun to take back, sent some to Wang Dasao's house next door, and brought some back to Huang Weiwei's parents.
Some were steamed and eaten at home that night, and some were left for everyone to eat the next morning.
In fact, except for the steamed buns, everything else is common in the countryside, and no one thought it was strange.
In the evening, Ji Xiaoni saw a table of steamed buns, and immediately picked up a steamed bun with chopsticks and prepared to put it into her mouth.
Tong Xiayue saw it and hurriedly stopped her: "Wait a minute, Xiaoni, this steamed bun is very hot, let me teach you how to eat it!"
Ji Xiaoni asked in confusion: "Ah? Can't I just put the bun in my mouth? Xiaoni can eat it!"
Xiaoni felt that Tong Xiayue looked down on the child. Isn't it just a bun? Do you need to be taught?
Zhao Qian laughed out loud after seeing this: "Hahaha, Xiaoni, this bun may be different from what we usually eat. Why don't we listen to what the aunt says?"
Tong Xiayue put the small steamed bun into Ji Xiaoni's bowl and said patiently: "This bun is different from the bun over there. This is called a small steamed bun. The aunt put a lot of delicious drinks in it. Soup, if Xiaoni had bitten it right away, her mouth would have been burned. Look, what the aunt did was put the steamed bun in a bowl and poke a hole in it with chopsticks."
As soon as she poked a hole in the steamed bun, the shiny soup inside flowed out, carrying hot air and a strong meaty aroma into Ji Xiaoni's nose.
Ji Xiaoni was surprised and said, "Wow! It smells so good!"
Tong Xiayue smiled and said, "Yes, it's hot, right? Now you blow on the buns to cool them down. Guess how to eat them now?"
Ji Xiaoni was watching Tong Xiayue's introduction, and was suddenly asked. She didn't react and stared at the pretty lady with her big eyes.
"What? You want to eat the buns?"
Tong Xiayue touched Ji Xiaoni's head and said lightly, "No, you want to drink the soup! Drink the soup before eating the buns! You try it."
