Boss Xia's Lobster Restaurant

"What's wrong with you?" Xia Qingyang looked at Cheng Youan in surprise when he saw Cheng Youan squatting aside, his cheeks puffed up with anger.

"Hmph!!! My leg hurts!"

"Stand up if your legs hurt!" Anyway, you can catch lobsters while standing.

"Yangyang, you've changed!" Realizing that his little friend didn't understand what he meant, Cheng You'an was furious.

"Ah?" Xia Qingyang didn't know why his little friend suddenly seemed to go crazy, "An An, what happened to you today?"

"Humph!!! You gave that black boy a rock to sit on, but you didn't give me a seat!!!" Cheng Youan awkwardly picked at the roots of the weeds on the ground.

"Hey! What did I think? He came to our house as a guest. He is a guest, so of course we should treat him well!" Xia Qingyang gave him a strange look.

"Hey~~" It turned out to be like this!If you only stay as a guest for a few days, Cheng You'an decided that he should be more generous and accept Sun Chengjie for the time being!

"Hey, hey~~ Don't move!" The two were chatting, why not Sun Chengjie ran over and snatched the weeds that Cheng Youan had pulled down.

Cheng Youan: "..." Scoundrel! ! !

"What's wrong?" Xia Qingyang looked at him puzzled.

"Oh! This is Prunella vulgaris! My uncle's pharmacy collected it! Yangyang, didn't you say that your family is short of money? I see that there are a lot of wild herbs here. You can pick more and sell them!"

Xia Qingyang: "!!!" Great idea!Looking around carefully, fortunately, everyone went to the place with a lot of aquatic plants to fish for shrimps. This idea should not be heard by others!

"Come here and talk carefully." Xia Qingyang pulled Sun Chengjie aside.

"Hehe~~ When I went to the pharmacy of my uncle's house last time, I happened to meet them collecting medicinal materials. This kind of Prunella vulgaris, I remember, seems to cost ten yuan a catty. By the way, there is also the cicada slough on the willow tree. It’s 50 yuan a catty! It’s a pity that there are no gold and silver flowers in the current season, and those are also very expensive. I heard that dried flowers cost 60 yuan a catty!”

"Can it really sell for so much money?" Xia Qingyang was a little excited. This kind of Prunella vulgaris is everywhere in their place. It is not troublesome to pick it at all, it just takes a little time. He happens to be on summer vacation now, and there are plenty of them. time!

If it is done well, it is not a problem to earn two to three thousand yuan in one summer vacation, which is the total annual income of ordinary people in rural areas!

"Sun Chengjie, if we get herbs, can you help us contact the pharmacy to sell them?"

"Well~ I have to call back and ask about this!" The enthusiastic Sun Chengjie went to his father's office in the town the next day and borrowed a phone to call his uncle. When he came back, he told Xia Qingyang: You can buy it, but Prunella vulgaris must be dried flowers , The cicada slough should be as clean as possible, and it should not be stained with too much soil.

"Okay, okay! Thank you, Sun Chengjie, next time you come to my house to play, I will ask my mother to make you spicy crayfish! And your favorite potato stewed duck!" Xia Qingyang thanked with a smile.

"Hey~~You're welcome! Aren't we friends?" Sun Chengjie rubbed his head embarrassedly.The last time I came back, Xia’s mother packed a lot of fried pumpkin seeds and various dried vegetables for herself. The other things are good, my parents like to eat dried vegetables!Xia Qingyang was already his best friend in town!

In a blink of an eye, the summer composition cram school was over. Sun Chengjie tormented Mama Sun, and once again went to Xia Qingyang's house with a small schoolbag, played there for two days, and even taught the Xia family brothers and Cheng Youan how to pick herbs. Every child needs to learn!Sun Chengjie, who felt that he knew more than his friends, gained great psychological satisfaction in Xiahe Village, and also gained three friends. It couldn't be more enjoyable!

Xia Qingyang was also very happy.

He has accumulated four woven bags of Prunella vulgaris in the past two days, and the cicada slough has also picked up a bag. He has already planned that when he comes back from the composition competition, he will continue to work hard to gather herbs to find the cicada slough, and try to save enough before school starts. One hundred catties of Prunella vulgaris and one catty of cicada sloughs can be sold for at least 1000 yuan!Not only did he and his younger brother not have to take tuition fees at home, but the remaining money was enough for the two brothers to buy paper, pens and various extracurricular books for a year.

On the day of the competition, the weather was fine, and the principal rode his own motorcycle to send Xia Qingyang, the only contestant in their school, to the town.They will be led by the teachers of the elementary school in the town, and they will go to the county seat by car together. Because the journey is relatively long, they will stay in the county seat for one night and come back after participating in the competition the next day.

The night before departure, Xia’s mother stuffed her son’s schoolbag with snacks such as crispy noodles with peanuts, melon seeds, and ham sausage, and gave him another 30 yuan. It's a huge sum of money!

Xia Qingmiao, who was lying next to her and writing big characters, was drooling with envy!

"No wonder my brother asked me to study hard! It turns out that if you study well, you not only have a lot of pocket money, but you can also go to the county town to play!" For the first time, the little Xia Qingmiao firmly believed in studying hard. Playing in the county town, there is still 30 yuan of pocket money!

"When you arrive in the county, don't run around. You should listen to the teacher, you know? Eat the snacks in the school bag with the children. You should check the pencil case before the game, and buy what you need." Xia's mother carefully told her son.

"I know, Mom! Don't worry, I heard from the teacher that the stationery for the competition has been prepared for us in the town, and meals and sleep are also in the hotel in the county seat. We will be back tomorrow afternoon! I will sit in town by myself Get back in the car."

In the past few years, the education system has begun to pay attention to the quality education of students, and various competitions have emerged one after another. Xia Qingyang and the others only found out when they arrived in the county that they were competing at the same time, as well as math competitions, little scientist competitions, etc., all in the biggest No. [-] competition in the county. Elementary school held.

On the afternoon of the first day, after getting settled in the hotel, everyone went to No. [-] Primary School to familiarize themselves with the examination room under the guidance of the accompanying teacher.

After returning to the hotel, the teacher asked everyone not to do the problem today, take a rest, and get enough energy to prepare for the next day's competition.Because Xia Qingyang and Sun Chengjie were in the same grade, they were assigned to the same room. After returning to the room, Sun Chengjie pointed to the alley behind the hotel full of plane trees and said to him excitedly: "Look, Yangyang! Then The wooden door next to it is the branch of my uncle's pharmacy, from now on you can sell herbs directly there, I will take you there!"

"Really?!" Xia Qingyang took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw a pharmacy with a carved wooden door under the plane tree. "Does your uncle practice Chinese medicine?"

"Hehe~~ My uncle opened a pharmaceutical factory, but this Chinese medicine shop was passed down by our ancestors. Grandpa said that our descendants must not lose the things of our ancestors, so my uncle took over and managed it. Those who make money, I heard my aunt said that the pharmaceutical factory is where the big money is made!"

yo!I didn't expect that there was a little local tyrant by my side!

Xia Qingyang looked at him with a complicated look: "Then why did your parents go to work in that poor place in our town?"

"Hey~~ You don't understand this, right?" Sun Chengjie complacently said to his little friend, "My grandfather said, let Dad go to the grassroots level to gain experience while he is still young, so that he can go to the top in the future! "

Oh, I got it!Don't all those who become officials pay attention to grassroots work experience now!

After dinner in the evening, the teacher gathered everyone together, distributed the admission tickets and stationery for tomorrow's competition, and drove the group of xiaodouding to sleep. In order to prevent everyone from watching TV, even the power cord of the TV in the room All pulled out.

Xia Qingyang was idle and bored, so he could only chat with small talker Sun Chengjie.

Only then did Sun Chengjie know that this handsome and capable little friend had such a miserable family!

"The man who hit your father with his car is really abominable! If he is caught someday, I will ask my little uncle to beat him up for you!" Sun Chengjie shouted angrily.

"Your little uncle?"

"Well! That belongs to my second grandfather's family. He is now the captain of the special police team in the Provincial Public Security Bureau. He is very impressive! He still has a gun!" A boy of Sun Chengjie's age admires the profession of the police very much.Naturally, he also felt that it would be no problem for the little uncle to beat up the villain who bullied Xia's father!
