Chapter 106 The Little Love-minded Grandma in the Weird Neighborhood 22
Jiujin smiled foolishly, "I didn't buy it, the owner gave it to me. I was craving the fragrance all the way."
"You eat first, I'll go sell the feces."
Qinglin took the tightly covered toilet bowl.
"Qinglin, there's sheep dung in there. See if you can raise the price a bit and clean the toilet bowl while you're at it." Jiujin said naively, "Come back quickly to eat the buns."
"no problem."
Not long after, Qinglin came back with a clean wooden barrel and said happily, "I sold a penny and a steamed bun. I have enough for my next meal."
"Okay, okay, one bun for each of us, and save two to eat with the steamed buns at night. You can eat more at night so you won't wake up hungry."
"Jiujin, you've suffered so much. Once we buy a house, we'll have enough to eat every day."
?
"Eat a bowl first. I didn't order much vermicelli. I'll order more after I finish eating. It's a big pot of old duck soup."
Yun Xi served vermicelli soup, while Zhao Deping and his brother served sesame cakes, making up the lunch.
Add vermicelli to the old duck soup, tear the cooked duck into small pieces, drizzle with sesame oil and soy sauce and eat. Yun Xi likes to add chili oil to the vermicelli soup, it smells so good that the greedy little Yun Xi reached for the bowl several times.
Children's hands are extremely fast and hard to guard against.
I originally wanted to make egg custard for the child, but seeing how greedy he was, I put a few vermicelli in a small bowl, cut it into pieces with scissors, added duck soup, soaked a few pieces of sesame cakes in it, and fed it to him after soaking it until it was soft.
"Master, how old is your child?" Zhao Deping asked.
Yun Xi: "It's been more than ten months."
Zhao De'an nodded, seeming to understand. "No wonder they've started eating. Babies in the alleys start eating millet porridge and other foods at eight months old."
"Look, Yunduan has a big appetite. One bowl isn't enough to satisfy him." Yunxi smiled kindly, "Fortunately, I can afford to support him."
Zhao Deping nodded, "Being able to eat is a blessing, it means good health."
In winter, everything is bleak, the cold wind is biting and the snow is flying.
Only a few bird tracks remain on the branches, quietly waiting for life and the coming of spring.
The capital city was still a barren and yellow scene in March this year. The only thing to be thankful for was that the wind and sand were much less.
The optimistic Jiujin came bounding in from outside, "Madam Yun, I saw some winter jasmine flowers outside the city yesterday. They are still very vibrant after being kept overnight. I'll give you a bouquet."
Yun Xi, who was sitting under the eaves, saw the winter jasmine and her eyes lit up. She finally saw a hint of green. It was not easy.
"Show it to me. Oh, it hasn't bloomed yet."
"Yes, Madam Yun, look, there are already small buds. If you keep tending to them, they will bloom soon."
"Okay, thank you Jiujin, I like it very much."
Yun Xi didn't bother to wash up, and found a clay pot to keep the forsythia branches.
After washing up, Yun Xi didn't want to cook and prepared to go out to eat. Anyway, Yun Di was old enough to eat normally, and there were no additives in the restaurants outside, so she could eat there without worry.
"Jiujin, I've paid you your February wages. You stay busy at home while I take the kids out for dinner." Yun Xi returned to the house and took out four strings of copper coins and handed them to Jiujin. "Be careful with them, don't let anyone see you, okay?"
Jiujin grinned, "Thank you, Master. I know."
She had been working here for more than a month. She received her January salary on the first day of February and her February salary on the first day of March without any delay in her salary. She felt very lucky. When Madam Yun knew that she and her husband had no quilt, she gave her a quilt. The quilt was very thick, and she no longer had to shiver in the cold when she slept at night.
Yun Xi nodded, packed up Yunduan, and carried him out. A new Hu La Tang restaurant had just opened in Dongcheng, and she had been craving it for a long time.
The last snow fell in mid-January and there has been no more snow since then. The temperature has been fluctuating. On the first day of March, the sun shone on the earth, adding a lot of warmth.
I hurried all the way to Dongcheng. It was already three quarters past three in the morning. When I saw the busy store, I immediately squeezed in with my child in my arms.
"Boss lady, I want a bowl of spicy soup, two fried dough sticks, two steamed buns with mushrooms, and four pan-fried buns." Yun Xi shouted loudly. There were too many people in the store and no one could hear her clearly if she didn't shout.
"Okay, please find a seat by yourself. If there's no seat, you can go upstairs. There are seats on the second floor."
The proprietress responded loudly, speaking with a thick Henan accent.
"Fifty coins in total!"
It was a bit expensive, Yun Xi paid with trembling hands, and rushed over to grab a small table. This restaurant used small tables and chairs, with one or two guests sitting at a table. The big table was probably on the second floor.
Not long after she sat down, a waiter came to clean the table. Yun Xi felt instantly relieved and waited patiently for about five minutes before all the food was served, along with a plate of pickled vegetables.
Little Yunduan was a little scared when he saw the bustling shop. He lay in his mother's arms and observed secretly with his big eyes.
"Okay, little greedy cat, it's time to eat."
I put a bib on the child, gave him a taste of spicy soup, and put a mushroom bun in his hand and let him eat it by himself. The child will be eight years old on February 2nd, so there is no need to make a big celebration, just a one-year-old ceremony will be enough.
Yun Xi is high-profile when she should be high-profile, and is absolutely low-key when she should be low-profile.
He lowered his head and took a sip of the spicy soup. Hiss~ The spicy taste was so familiar. No wonder it was so expensive. There was a lot of pepper. He lowered his head to look at Yunduan. The child's mouth was full of oil. He lifted his bib to wipe it for him and fed him two more mouthfuls of the spicy soup. "Eat slowly, there's no rush, there's more."
The child turned a deaf ear and stared at eating the buns. Yun Xi wanted to laugh. With such greed, he could be a snack broadcaster in modern times.
Yun Xi looked up, picked up the fried dough sticks and put them into the spicy soup, then immediately stuffed them into her mouth. The fried dough sticks should not be soaked for too long or too short, but should be in just the right state. The fried dough sticks absorb the spicy soup but are not soft at all, which makes them the most delicious!
"My dear, can I sit here?"
At this time, an old man came from the opposite side, followed by a waiter holding a tray.
Yun Xi knew what was going on as soon as she saw it. "Please sit down. There's no one here."
"thanks."
I took a look and saw that the old man ordered spicy soup and fried buns, which he knew how to eat.
The two sides were eating without disturbing each other. At this time, the people at the next table were discussing the murder case involving bandits outside the city. Yun Xi listened with her ears perked up.
Seeing her like this, the old man said mysteriously, "I know about this. I heard that a middle-aged couple who were visiting relatives were killed by bandits."
"What? There are bandits around the capital?"
Yun Xi said that it was impossible, it was too scary, there was no guarantee of safety at all, and she also wanted to go outside the city to enjoy the scenery and have a picnic when she had time.
"Of course not! The capital is under the protection of His Majesty's dragon energy. He just came from outside the city. Alas! What a bad fate! He was killed like this."
The two chatted for a long time, Yun Xi sighed, and after dinner she left with the child.
Passing by the vegetable market, I saw someone selling fresh mustard greens. I bought a bunch for ten cents, which was really expensive, but things are valuable because they are rare. Who made me eat fresh vegetables in early spring?
When she reached the alley entrance, Yun Xi vaguely saw a white flag and was stunned. She had a bad feeling.
