Greenery Ace No. 9

Chapter 321 Why are you going to join in the fun

Zhou Zheng lowered his head and was busy with the work in his hands. While holding the chicken head in his hands to control the blood, he said without raising his head: "What kind of toiletries do I need to buy? It doesn't need to be so troublesome. I have the toiletries that I used to use at home. , you two can use mine before going to bed."

Wang Dali put his arms around his shoulders and watched Zhou Zheng kill the chicken earnestly. When he heard that Zheng Bin was going to the small shop to buy something, he also felt that Zheng Bin was a bit troublesome. I changed my previous view of Zheng Bin, so even though I had this thought in my heart, I didn't express it.

Wang Dali turned his head and looked at Zheng Bin with a smile on his face: "Zhou Zheng is right, we can just use Zhou Zheng's washing utensils for a while, I am a rough person, I am not that particular, if you despise me, then I will Let you wash up first, and I will use it after you wash up."

Zheng Bin was embarrassed, because he knew that Zhou Zheng and Wang Dali had completely misunderstood what he meant, but it was difficult for him to explain the matter, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "I am very easy-going in terms of basic necessities of life, nothing to worry about. I am particularly particular about the place, but I am more concerned about the toiletries, I have never used other people's toiletries, and I feel more resistant to using other people's toiletries."

Knowing that Zheng Bin was usually spoiled and raised at home, Zhou Zheng no longer stopped him: "If that's the case, then don't use mine. There are two small shops in our village, and the first one is in the south of the village. Head, it’s far away from my house, and it will take a lot of time if you walk there. Another small shop is in the middle of the village, only 30 meters away from my house. After you go out, go north, and you can see it after a 2-minute walk. to the signboard."

"Okay, I see. I'll go first, and I'll be back in a while."

Zheng Bin turned around and walked towards the gate. He kept looking at Wang Dali and winking at him as he walked.

Wang Dali had been concentrating on watching Zhou Zheng kill the chicken, so he didn't see Zheng Bin's eyes, which made Zheng Bin very anxious.

At this time, Zhou Zheng had almost controlled the blood of the chicken. He was about to pick up the chicken to remove its feathers, when suddenly, as if he had thought of something important, he quickly raised his head, and shouted to Zheng Bin who was walking to the gate: "Brother Bin, if you buy toiletries, buy them. Come back quickly after you buy them. Don't buy anything else. We have everything in our house. Just tell me what you need."

Zheng Bin quickly looked back at Wang Dali, and pretended to be walking seriously. Hearing Zhou Zheng's instructions to himself, he quickly turned around and smiled, "I see."

Seeing that the chicken had been killed, Wang Dali took two steps forward curiously, and asked Zhou Zheng if he needed help. Zhou Zheng shook his head, saying that he didn't need his help, and he could handle it by himself.

Wang Dali, who originally wanted to participate in the chicken killing process, was very disappointed. He turned his head subconsciously, and wanted to tell Zheng Bin to come back quickly after shopping, otherwise he would be bored if he had nothing to do by himself.

As soon as he turned his head, he found that Zheng Bin's eyes had been looking at him, and he kept winking at him, and at the same time, he kept gesturing to himself with his hands.

Zheng Bin's gestures were very fast, but the meaning was very clear. He first pointed to himself, meaning to let Wang Dali follow him, and then pointed to the outside of the gate, which seemed to mean to Wang Dali, come out with me.

Wang Dali's mind was overloaded today, and he couldn't understand what Zheng Bin wanted to express at this moment. He only understood one thing, that is, Zheng Bin wanted him to go out with him.

Wang Dali hurriedly turned his head to look at Zhou Zheng, and found that he was going to the kitchen to get a kettle.

"Then what...Zhou Zheng, Zheng Bin and I will go out for a while and do some shopping. We will come back together later."

Wang Dali stammered a bit.

Zhou Zheng came out from the kitchen with the kettle, and stared at Wang Dali with complicated eyes: "Brother Bin went to buy toiletries, didn't you just say that you are not that particular? Why are you going to join in the fun?"

Seeing Zhou Zheng expose his contradictory words, Wang Dali was embarrassed to death for a moment, but at the critical moment he withstood the pressure and said nonsense: "I didn't think so much just now, but after thinking about it carefully, how could the toiletry utensils be used casually?" What about other people’s? Let’s not talk about other people’s hygiene habits, whether there is any infectious disease, even if there is no infectious disease, you say that after you use the toothbrush of an adult, I will take it and put it in my mouth. It’s weird to think about it. disgusting."

"Hey!" Zhou Zheng retched, and immediately stopped him from continuing, "Why didn't I think of this? You go with Brother Bin! This is the end of the matter, and I will definitely not lend you my toilet utensils."

Seeing that Wang Dali understood his eyes, Zheng Bin waited for Wang Dali at the gate in a daze. At the beginning, seeing Wang Dali's lies being exposed by Zhou Zheng, he was really sweating for Wang Dali. Later, when he saw that Wang Dali had straightened out the lie, he was deeply relieved, but he still warned himself in his heart that he must not cooperate with Wang Dali in the future, because his reaction speed was really too slow.

Wang Dali smiled and waved goodbye to Zhou Zheng, then walked to Zheng Bin's side in two steps, and walked out of the gate with his arms around his shoulders.

After the two walked out of the door, Wang Dali kept looking into the courtyard door behind him. Seeing that Zhou Zheng didn't intend to follow, he quickly turned around and asked Zheng Bin: "Just now you made such eye contact and gestures at me, what happened? What's wrong?"

Wang Dali would be so nervous, Zheng Bin did not expect, he smiled gently, and quickly calmed Wang Dali: "You don't have to be so nervous, I asked you to come out for nothing particularly important, just want to ask you, It's the first time for us to come to someone's house as a guest, so it's not appropriate to have empty hands, right?"

Wang Dali slapped his forehead, and acted like he suddenly realized: "Hey, why did I forget this problem, thank you for reminding me, otherwise it would be so ugly!"

Zheng Bin smiled wryly, and hurriedly booed Wang Dali to keep his voice down: "Keep your voice down, Zhou Zheng's ears are very good. In fact, this is not a big deal, because the relationship between us and Zhou Zheng, even if we are empty-handed Being a guest at his house won't have any effect, but I think after all Zhou Zheng's father is at home, it will look better if the two of us go buy some gifts."

"You're right." Wang Dali had no other opinion at all, and he kept praising Zheng Bin, "Why do you think you have such a brain? When will I be as careful as you? You don't need to explain yours to me." For the purpose and original intention, you can just tell us what to buy.”

Zheng Bin walked forward according to the route instructed by Zhou Zheng: "I don't have any particularly good opinions right now, let's go to the small store first, and buy whatever suits you."

"Okay." Wang Dali agreed vigorously.

The two of them walked forward side by side quickly, galloping towards the small shop in the village.

In the yard of Zhou Zheng's house, Zhou Zheng put the kettle on the ground, went to the kitchen and took out a large basin. The capacity of the large basin is very large, and it is estimated that there is no problem with putting three or four whole chickens.

He put the whole killed chicken into a large basin, then picked up the kettle and poured the freshly boiled water over the whole chicken.

Immediately, clouds and mist shrouded the big basin, and the rising steam almost scalded Zhou Zheng's hands.

The hot boiling water is evenly sprinkled on the whole chicken, and the wet feathers stick to the chicken's body, as if it has just been oiled and haircut. Under the stimulation of the hot boiling water, the pores of the chicken skin are opened, and the skin turns white.

After pouring a large pot of boiling water, Zhou Zheng took a small bench and placed it in front of the big pot. He sat on the bench, bent down and began to pluck the chicken's feathers.

Even the feathers of chickens soaked in scalding boiling water were hot to the touch. Zhou Zheng was scalded several times and withdrew his hand, but after a minute or two of adaptation, his hands began to adapt to the temperature of the chicken feathers, and the work of plucking the feathers was smooth. It unfolded smoothly.

Zhou Zheng was secretly planning in his heart, I must work hard to make this chicken taste good today, let Brother Dali and Brother Bin also taste my handicrafts, I always eat Brother Dali in the county, this time I finally paid back a little , and my heart will be more balanced in the future.

According to Zhou Zheng's instructions, Zheng Bin and Wang Dali soon came to the small shop.

The scale of the small shop is very small, it is just a front door facing the street, there is no trace of a small shop outside, but there is a signboard written on cardboard in front of the door, with the words "small shop" on the signboard , it seems that only pedestrians who come and go from these three characters know that there is a sale here.

Wang Dali pushed open the door first, opened the curtain and walked in.

At this time, it was completely dark. Because it was a rural area, there were no street lights on the road, so when it got dark, it was dark outside the house.

Although the light was on in the small store, once inside, it didn't make people feel how bright it was inside. The dim light made people feel more depressed.

Following in Wang Dali's footsteps, Zheng Bin also entered the small shop.

There were five people in the store, including men and women, all around 40 years old, four of them gathered around a small table, four of them were playing cards with poker in their hands, and the one who was idle watching the game was a A woman, she is obviously different from the other four. Not only is she well dressed, she also wears light makeup on her face, but no matter how much makeup she puts on, she still can't hide the marks left on her face by the years.

From the surface, it is difficult to tell who is the owner of this small shop.

As soon as Wang Dali and Zheng Bin entered the small store, five people in the small store turned their heads to look at them at the same time. Several people playing cards just glanced at them, then turned around and continued to play cards. Only the woman watching the game After looking up and down Wang Dali and Zheng Bin, they immediately stood up to meet them.

"Do you want to buy something?"

The woman held the melon seeds in one hand, and kept putting the melon seeds into her mouth with the other. Obviously, she was the owner of the small shop.

Wang Dali and Zheng Bin glanced at each other, then turned their heads and nodded silently, answering the female boss's question.
