Jiaohua Growth Guide [Rebirth]

As the saying goes, the first time is raw, the second time is familiar.It's not the first time for the three siblings to come to town, so it's not like the first time, everything they see is novel.In addition, the end of the new year is approaching, and I have to start buying new year's goods to go back, and I don't have time to wander around anymore.

After Gu Ci took the two of them to bid farewell to shopkeeper Zhao, he left Caiyi Lane straight away, and then rushed to other alleys in the West Alley without stopping.

Farmers pay attention to the new year and the new atmosphere. The brooms used to sweep the dust and remove the cobwebs on the roof must be new, in order to have good luck in the coming year.

In Gu Ci's two lifetimes, this is the first time he has truly been in charge of the family, and he has a vague understanding of these things, all of which he asked for advice from Aunt Bangen.Now it's the first year with the two closest to her, so she naturally wants to make trouble and make a good omen for the future.

When they came out of the West Alley, the three brothers and sisters already had everything in their hands. From new pots and pans to small oil and salt jars, from brooms for sweeping the floor to new wooden combs, etc., they bought ten items, big and small. A few.

Fortunately, these things are affordable by ordinary peasants, and they are not worth much, so you don't need to feel bad about money, Gu Ci buys them generously.

"Sister, do we still need to carry these things to the East Lane to buy food?" Jiaojiao walked out with a stack of bowls in her arms, her forehead covered with sweat. Wan went shopping in the East Alley, and felt a little powerless.

Gu Ci really didn't have time to get this bowl, so he could only comfort her, "There is a storage stall at the exit, let's store these things first, find a place to eat and then go to the east alley to buy food."

At the exit of the two alleys, there are simple straw sheds, mostly used to store carts, and there are also one or two tea sheds, and they are also used to store some large items bought by others, like Gu Ci and others who store these small ones. There are few fun things.

After hearing what Gu Ci said, Jiaojiao also had some hope, wiped the sweat from her forehead with her elbow, and her steps were a little faster.

The tea shed was opened by an old couple. The woman was kind and kind, she was a kind person, and she didn't dislike Gu Ci for having a lot of scattered things.

After storing the things, Gu Ci was not in a hurry to leave. She also felt that her hands were uncomfortable after carrying so many things all the way. She stretched her arms and pulled her sleeves to wipe Jiaojiao and Abao's sweat. They are hot and cold, and they are easy to catch cold, so I help them loosen their jackets to let them breathe.

"Are you hungry? It will take another hour for us to go home. When we get home, it will probably be dark. If you are hungry, let's find a place to eat first."

"No, there are still several pieces of flower cakes that shopkeeper Zhao gave." Jiaojiao shook her head, her sister is not good at housekeeping, her aunt said it, Aunt Bangen said it, and grandpa said it, but she still doesn't learn well , The things in this town are so expensive. The last time I ate wontons, I ate nearly a hundred cash. She had to embroider ten handkerchiefs to earn it back. "We still have some steamed buns, so we won't eat them in the town."

A Bao also nodded, "It's good to eat steamed buns and flower cakes."

Gu Ci picked up Jiaojiao's hand, inspected it carefully, and rubbed her palm that was pressed red by the bottom of the bowl, then looked up at the two little money fans, "The flower cake is too greasy to eat, it can't be a dinner Eat, the steamed buns are too hard, eating them in this weather is not good for the stomach."

Jiaojiao didn't care what she said, she untied the small cloth bag hanging on the cloth bag, took a piece of flower cake from it, first handed it to A Bao, and then took another piece to Gu Ci , "Anyway, I don't eat, I just eat flower cakes."

Gu Ci knew that this flower cake was expensive, and she would not be willing to buy it for them on weekdays, "I won't eat it, you can eat it."

"If you don't eat, don't eat." Jiaojiao snorted, then put it back into her mouth with her backhand, puffing her cheeks to show off to her, "It's delicious."

Gu Ci was amused by her appearance, and stretched out his hand to poke her bulging cheek, "Eat all the delicious food, then let's not eat, just order a pot of hot tea in this tea shed, and go directly to East alley for shopping."

Fearing that the two little money lovers would refuse again, Gu Ci took advantage of them swallowing the pastry and invited the waiter to serve tea.

The little girl was angry, "There is still water in our kettle."

"This tea is only three renminbi a pot." Gu Ci took the lead to find a table and sat down, then secretly threatened her, "If you don't order tea, this aunt won't allow us to sit here and rest."

Sure enough, when the little girl heard what she said, she stopped talking. Her hands and legs were sore now, so she wanted to find a place to sit and rest.

Seeing that the two little money lovers were silent, Gu Ci took out the steamed buns from the cloth bag on his back. Just when the woman came to serve tea, he asked embarrassingly, "Can the proprietress warm these steamed buns for me?" Is it hot? I'm afraid that their two children will feel uncomfortable after eating it."

"Originally it wasn't allowed." The woman smiled when she met everyone, and touched A Bao's head through the hat with her callused hands, "However, these two children are juicy, so I will help you warm up this time."

"Then I will trouble you." Gu Ci smiled and took out the steamed buns. Seeing the woman looking at Jiaojiao and Abao lovingly, he also said a few more words to her, "The proprietress is absurd, Farmers are all raised blindly, and if they can raise some kind of watery people, they just have a good temper."

"You are dissatisfied." The woman put the steamed buns on the plate and gave her a sharp look, "My old man and I have been running a tea shed here for 30 years, and we have never seen anyone more juicy than this little girl. It's just a faint mark on this face...it's a pity."

The woman walked away with the steamed buns while she was talking, Gu Ci didn't respond, and from the corner of her eye, she saw the little girl smugly shining a teacup on her face, amused and annoyed, "Look at you thick-skinned, others Once I praise you, you will be beautiful, right?"

The little girl was a little embarrassed by what she said, she lowered her head and bit the rim of the bowl and took a sip of her tea, but she was so hot that she stuck out her tongue.

Gu Ci hurriedly went to the front and asked the woman for a bowl of herbal tea, and poured it down for the little girl, and then let her stick out her tongue, helped her carefully, and found no burns, so he was relieved, but his face was still Straightforwardly: "It makes you messy, and if someone praises you, you will go to heaven..."

It’s cold, people who come to the tea shed to drink tea usually do it to warm up, and naturally they just boiled the water. Fortunately, the little girl drank less, and her tongue was a little numb when it was hot, and the flower cake was tasteless No, and listened to her training with a bitter face.

Gu Ci scolded her a few words, but couldn't bear it anymore, "But it's still uncomfortable? Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, it's just numb." The little girl stuck out her tongue and took another bite of the flower cake with a sad expression, "Sister, I can't even taste the flower cake."

With a "puchi", Gu Ci couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing. Seeing Abao looking at the little girl worriedly, she raised her hand to cover her lips, "Abao, don't be like your sister Jiaojiao, you are silly I got my tongue scalded by myself."

"Is the little girl okay?" The woman brought over the hot steamed buns, looked at the wrinkled face of the little girl, and was also worried, after all, it happened in her tea shed, "Not far away is Jishantang, Doctor Li Anything can be cured, if the burn is serious, you have to go to see it in time."

"It's okay." Gu Ci took the steamed bun, "She was in a hurry, but her tongue was numb."

"It's fine." The woman breathed a sigh of relief, and put a pile of pickled vegetables on the plate on the table, "I'll be a good person to the end. Since I warmed up the steamed buns for you, I might as well give them to you."

Gu Ci originally wanted to decline, but he thought that the little girl's tongue was burning and she was about to order something with a strong taste to stimulate her, so she agreed.

After resting enough, when Gu resigned to check out, he specially gave two extra copper coins.

Compared with the west alley, the east alley is much more lively, especially when the New Year is approaching, there are all kinds of food, and there are a variety of small four or eight dishes for the New Year.

Jiaojiao was still a little sleepy at first, but seeing the increasingly dizzying eating, she also became excited. She dragged Bao around, looked at this one, that one, and then turned around and shouted at Gu Ci. : "Sister, what is this? What is that?"

Gu Ci didn't think they were long-winded, he followed behind and answered patiently, but when he asked them what they wanted to eat, both of them shook their heads like rattles.

Gu Ci was afraid that they would develop a temperament of little money lovers at a young age, and they would value money too much in the future. After thinking about it, he took twenty Wen from his purse and said, "Come on, give each of them ten Wen. You can choose the things on the street, and I will see who will spend more money today."

The two people who haven't had their own money are a little excited, but they are afraid that they will waste it. They stare at the ten coins in Gu Ci's palm and dare not reach out to take it.

"Money is for spending. It's great to earn money, but you have to spend the money you earn." Gu Ci saw the hesitation in their eyes, and put the copper coins in their palms, "Take it, buy what you want , buy what you can buy for ten cents."

Jiaojiao swallowed, clutching ten copper coins, "Can I buy anything?"

Gu Ci nodded, "You can buy anything that ten copper coins can buy."

"Then can I go to West Lane to buy?"

"Huh?" Gu Ci was stunned for a moment, then nodded again, "It's okay."

Jiaojiao then put the copper plate in her sleeve pocket, "Then sister, let's hurry up and buy the food for the New Year."

Ah Bao watched Jiaojiao put away the copper coins, so he put them away too, "Then I will follow Sister Jiaojiao to West Alley to buy."

Jiaojiao rolled her playful eyes at him, "You are not allowed to buy the same one as me." After thinking for a while, she felt a little complacent, "Even if you buy the same one as me, it's useless."

Since it was agreed not to interfere with how they spent the ten cents, Gu Ci was curious about what they were going to buy with the ten cents, but he didn't ask too much.

Although there are many types of food in the East Alley, when you walk around, the food in all kinds of alleys is similar.

Melon seeds and peanuts are the New Year's necessities that are common in the village households. Gu Ci bought three catties each, and despite the dissuasion of the two little ones, he insisted on weighing a catty of sugar, and also weighed half a catty of longan. bought.

In addition, I bought two catties of small four samples, which was a New Year's gift for my grandfather's family.As the name implies, the small four items are four kinds of food mixed together, three of which are the common melon seeds, peanuts, and fried rice, and the other item depends on the price. It can be red dates, or sugar, mixed and packed together, there are two catties, four catties, and eight catties.

The two younger ones in the family didn't like fried rice, so Gu Ci bought them separately. When there were guests at the house during the Chinese New Year, she made the same four dishes herself.

After buying dry goods, Gu Ci went to the butcher shop to buy pork and trotters. Because she bought a lot, the boss generously gave her a pair of pigs.

She originally wanted to finish the New Year's ceremony today, but seeing that it was getting late, the little girl kept urging her to remember to go to West Lane and come out after buying pork.

The first alley of the East Alley has the most vendors. When Gu Ci walked over, she met three people who asked her to buy candied haws for children. Didn't say to buy it yourself.

Gu Ci thought at first that they hadn't made up their minds yet, and she pretended not to know, but when they were almost out of the east alley, the two younger ones hadn't made up their minds yet, so she couldn't hold back anymore, and called to stop the vendors walking past, " Give me two bunches of candied haws."

Jiaojiao reacted the most, clutching her pocket tightly, "I don't want to buy it, it's you who want to buy it."

A Bao followed suit.

Gu Ci glanced at the two of them, annoyed and funny, paid the money, and asked the vendor to give them candied haws, "Yes, I insisted on buying it for you."

Now that Ah Bao's teeth are healed, after taking the candied haws, he grinned and showed Gu Ci, "Sister, my teeth have grown."

"Well, I saw it." Gu Ci didn't expect that he had a good memory and could still remember this matter.

Hearing this, Ah Bao happily took one bite, as if thinking of something, he looked at Jiaojiao again with a serious face, "Last time sister Jiaojiao said that she doesn't like this food. It's okay, you won't be able to finish it later, I'll help you eat, my teeth are healed, and I can eat much better."

The little girl who was about to eat happily: "..."

It's a pleasure to lie for a while, and to lie about the crematorium.
