After Chen Yubing finished speaking, she reminded the two brothers who had to jump up from time to time to see things, "You must hold your uncle's hand tightly. Don't let go, understand?"
"Grandma, we get it~" The two brothers nodded obediently.
The row of stalls was filled with a wide variety of goods, and the two children were unable to take their eyes off them.
"Aunt, what should I do? I want so many things~" Fu Linzhou blinked and looked at Qiao Xinyi coquettishly, "Can I accidentally buy more today?"
"Me too~" Fu Zeyu quickly followed.
"Buy!" Qiao Xinyi nodded generously, "Buy if you like it! Bring it home and let's eat together. We'll buy anything we haven't eaten before and want to try. If we don't know how to make it, we'll ask the comrades who are watching over the stalls to write us a recipe and we'll cook it at home."
"Wow! I'm super happy today~" Fu Linzhou's eyes lit up and he poked the stall with his little hand. Fifteen minutes later, the sack in Fu Qingshan's hand was half full.
There were many people carrying sacks to buy things in this market. Everyone could tell at a glance that they were from other places. The comrades guarding the stalls were all very enthusiastic, and Zeng Ge's name was also very useful.
If you mention Brother Zeng's name, you will either get two cents less per pound or get a zero off.
The family came to the market and spent two hours shopping, but it was already half past ten when they finished shopping.
"I wonder if there's any food at the county's state-owned restaurant at this time." Chen Yubing clapped her hands, "We should bring something from home to fill our stomachs."
"Put the things in the trunk of the car first." Qiao Xinyi said, "If you really can't buy anything to eat, just fill your stomach with the biscuits in my bag and we'll go straight back to the provincial capital."
After Qiao Xinyi finished speaking, Qiao Yunsong came over with a note, "Sister, this note is stuck in front of the car window."
Qiao Xinyi recognized the paper at a glance as the one that Brother Zeng had been holding to keep accounts.
When I opened it, I found it was indeed written by Brother Zeng.
——This is your first time at the market, and I guess you might miss dinner time. The state-owned restaurants in the county are relatively small and have fewer items. They will be sold out after the time limit. You can go to this address, knock on the door twice, and then tell me my name.
Perhaps because he was afraid that the note would be taken away by someone, Brother Zeng did not write very detailed words on the note.
He knew that if Qiao Xinyi saw the note, she would be able to understand it.
Qiao Xinyi handed the note to Fu Qingshan. After reading it, Fu Qingshan looked up across the street and said, "We should go into the alley across the street. It's very close. Let's walk over there."
Sometimes Qiao Xinyi really had to admire everyone in this era, who could find the destination accurately without navigation.
It seemed that Brother Zeng should be an old customer here. After the door opened, as soon as Fu Qingshan mentioned Brother Zeng's name, the young aunt immediately smiled and invited the group in.
"Aunt, look, there are oyster shells on their walls, so many!" Fu Linzhou and Fu Zeyu were like they had discovered a new continent.
"It's true." Chen Yubing and Fu Bailu both found it very strange.
"I'm still using it fresh. If you go to the fishing village, you'll find their houses interesting." The young aunt smiled, "You and Xiao Zeng are both from the provincial capital, right? Xiao Zeng was the same as you when he first came here."
As he was talking, a bald uncle came out of the kitchen. When he saw so many people, he was stunned.
"Come into the kitchen and see what you want to eat. The seafood was just delivered this morning."
The two children ran into the kitchen first, and then screamed in surprise.
Only after the adults walked in did they realize that this kitchen, which looked inconspicuous from the outside, was actually full of life.
There is actually a small pond inside, which is separated by stones, and different seafood is placed in each small compartment.
"My best dishes are seafood porridge and seafood braised noodles. It depends on what you like to eat."
"In addition to porridge and braised noodles, these seafood can also be cooked. Fried, steamed, braised, spicy, all are fine. It depends on what you like."
The uncle said proudly: "No one who has eaten here says that the food is not delicious. I have been doing this since I was a teenager, following my dad."
"We have a lot of people, please help us arrange it." Fu Qingshan turned around and asked Qiao Xinyi, "Do you want to eat porridge or braised noodles? Mom, Aunt Fu, what about you?"
"I want to try them all." Qiao Xinyi answered honestly, "It's a rare opportunity to come here, I don't want to miss any of the uncle's specialties."
"Then we also want seafood porridge and braised noodles." Since Qiao Xinyi said so, Fu Qingshan didn't need to wait for Chen Yubing and Fu Bailu to respond.
"Okay, I'll arrange it for you according to your number." The uncle responded readily, "I won't let you down."
"Make more of each. If we can't finish them, we can pack them up and heat them up at home in the evening. If we make less and there isn't enough, I'm afraid I'll keep missing them." Everyone laughed after Qiao Xinyi finished speaking.
The aunt had already set up the table and chairs under the tent in the yard, and the uncle served the dishes very quickly. After fifteen minutes, the dishes came up one after another.
"It will take some time to cook the porridge. You can eat the braised noodles and these dishes first." The uncle put down the vegetable bowl and turned into the kitchen to continue working.
"Auntie, it's delicious, right?" The two children were shaking their legs with joy.
"Yes." Qiao Xinyi nodded. "The seafood here is really fresh. The seafood we eat in the provincial capital is really incomparable to here."
"A lot of fish and shrimps are half dead when they are sent from here to the provincial capital. When it comes to seafood, the provincial capital is really not as good as our place near the sea." Auntie added, "The water in the pool in our kitchen is scooped up from the sea. There is no difference between shrimps and fish here and in the sea."
"Are you doing well recently?" Fu Bailu asked with a smile.
"Yes, many of them were introduced by Xiao Zeng. To be honest, our family can have a good New Year this year. Our children can go to school and wear new clothes and shoes."
The aunt nodded and said, "Some people come here specifically for breakfast, to eat seafood porridge and seafood braised noodles, and they come in groups of one or two."
"Yes, this is the first time I've seen a whole family come together, so I was shocked to see so many of you just now." The uncle in the kitchen also responded, "After the joint market across the street opened, it really brought a lot of wealth to our family."
They had a very pleasant meal and chat. Thinking that no one in the family had ever been to the beach and it was still early after dinner, Fu Qingshan asked the uncle for the shortest way to the beach with beautiful scenery, then drove the car and took the whole family there.
The Wu family not only went to the beach, but also went to a small fishing village and saw the stone oyster houses in the fishing village which they talked about as being truly fresh.
When we went back, the two children were reluctant to leave.
