Chen Sanshou took the bowl and ran out steadily, and soon arrived at the old house.

The old house of the Chen family is also full of hard-working people, and the courtyard is already busy at dawn.

Mrs. Chen continued to weave bamboo baskets in the courtyard, Ms. Chen Liu from the second room was drying corn, which can be stored longer after drying, and Ms. Chen Wu from the third room was washing the clothes of the whole family.

After dinner, the men all went to the fields to do farm work, and the children were also busy, feeding chickens and drying wild vegetables.

Mrs. Chen saw the third child from the eldest family coming over early in the morning and running around in sweat. She thought something big had happened to the eldest daughter-in-law.

Chen Sanshou handed him a bowl full of delicious ground vegetables and said breathlessly, "Nai, my mother just fried this today. Let me deliver it."

Before Mrs. Chen could react, Sanshou pinched a handful of vegetables with two fingers and put it into his pacifier.

Mrs. Chen only felt a crispness and a slight burning sensation in her mouth.

"What is this? Why is it so spicy? Your mother asked you to bring it here early in the morning?" Old Mrs. Chen asked her grandson while chewing vegetables in her flat mouth.

"It's a ground vegetable cooked by my mother. She said it was for filial piety. I also gave it to my second aunt, third aunt, and several brothers and sisters to try.

By the way... By the way, I'd like to ask you to borrow a big bowl and two rattan baskets. "

Borrow a bowl? Borrow a rattan basket?

What does this boss's wife want to do?

Mrs. Chen didn't understand.

"What did your mother do with borrowing these things?" Old lady Chen was curious.

Chen Sanshou didn't know, he just said it was his mother's request and he should borrow it for the market.

Going to the market?

Mrs. Chen guessed that the eldest daughter-in-law wanted to sell vegetables in the city, and thought that this woman suddenly changed her temper and became so diligent. Although Mrs. Chen didn't understand it, it was still a good thing, and it was better than being lazy and eating well.

Without any delay, Mrs. Chen quickly got up and went to the kitchen to find the largest bowl and handed it to San Shou, and took two baskets together.

After thinking about it for a while, the eldest daughter-in-law went to the city to go to the market, maybe to sell vegetables, and needed a better basket. So Mrs. Chen gave Sanshou two baskets that were neatly and neatly woven without frizzy edges.

She also wanted to ask Sanshou whether his mother's family had been causing trouble recently, but before she could ask, Sanshou took the things and ran away without a trace, and he hurried home to eat the delicious food cooked by his mother.

While she was cooking the soup, Chen Changsheng cut the cleaned pig offal into bite-sized pieces one by one, and cut two mushrooms into thin slices.

The soup in the pot is boiling, and the steam is rising with the sound of "gurgling". The whole yard is filled with aroma, and several children keep sniffing their noses.

Chen Changsheng fished out the dregs from the soup and set it aside, then added chili powder, white sesame seeds, white sugar and salt to the soup and stirred evenly.

Chen Sanshou came back panting with something, "Mom, you haven't started eating yet, have you?"

Chen Changsheng lightly patted Sanshou's forehead in a funny way, "Look at how greedy you are. I haven't eaten yet. I'm waiting for your bowl."

She poured the soup from the pot into a large bowl and let it cool slowly. She put the chopped pig offal into the pot and blanched it first. After removing the foam and impurities, she boiled all the meat and vegetable dishes and poured them in. In a large bowl, submerge it in the thick spicy soup.

Only after marinating for a day will we know whether the cold pot skewers can be made successfully.

Chen Changsheng filled four bowls with the previously fried ground vegetables and put them into the rattan basket.

She found that her mother-in-law, Mrs. Chen, was pretty good at craftsmanship. She weaved the basket carefully, with a board inside to separate it and a lid on top.

It's a bit like the lunch boxes used by modern migrant workers to bring lunch, but the size is larger.

A rattan basket is just right for two bowls, and then the lid is put on it. The two rattan baskets are stacked and put into the backpack, which is stable.

Chen Erlu is not young anymore. Chen Changsheng decided to let Erlu follow him into the city today, so that he could see the world for this child.

The two children, Sanshou and Sixi, wanted to go to the city coquettishly, but Chen Changsheng refused. She coaxed them by saying that they would bring snacks back, and the two children calmed down.

Chen Changsheng carried a basket with vegetables on his back, and Erlu carried a basket with mushrooms on his back. The two of them headed to the oxcart meeting point at the east entrance of the village.

Chen Dafu and his two younger brothers and sisters stayed at home to work. There were still weeds to weed in the fields, watering and fertilizing, and there was a lot of work to do.

Before leaving, Chen Changsheng specifically asked the children not to touch the cold pot skewers until she returned home in the evening to check the taste before eating.

The children nodded honestly, but the mother said she wouldn't move if she didn't want to.

Chen Changsheng passed by the Chen family's old house but did not go in. Instead, Erlu called "grandma" and "auntie" at the gate of the courtyard as a greeting.

Chen Changsheng paid a penny as usual today and walked to the city on his own legs, letting his second son ride in the car, but she still had to talk a lot before Chen Erlu would sit down.

The oxcart set off early and wandered to the gate of Baishui County before Chen hour. Chen Changsheng told Chen Daniu, the driver, to wait for her to return today.

After saying that, he led Chen Erlu to the North Market in a familiar way. The mother and son arrived early today and chose a crowded location at the intersection to set up a stall.

Not long after I put down my things, a middle-aged couple came over carrying a load. The man said rudely, "Hey, this is my territory. Who allowed you to set up a stall here?"

Chen Changsheng remembered that when he went to the market yesterday, he counted the excitement at the intersection. It was indeed the couple's seat, but she came early today and took the seat.

Chen Changsheng had already inquired about the two markets in the north and south of Baishui County. As long as you paid the management fee, you could enter. The stalls were first come, first served, and there were no fixed positions.

Since she was new here, she didn't want to confront the man, so she said word by word, "Brother, all the vegetable farmers who come here have paid management fees. Whoever comes early will choose the position. There is no territorial control."

The man ignored Chen Changsheng's words and remained angry and looked like he was not to be trifled with. "My mother-in-law and I have been living here for more than a year. Everyone here knows me. How did you come out of nowhere and dare to occupy my house?" Our territory. Be wise and move out as soon as possible.”

After saying that, he used his feet to pull the dishes that Chen Changsheng had laid out.

Chen Changsheng was not polite to the man, "Brother, you said it was your home's location, do you have proof?"

Someone in the crowd shouted, "The store inspection is coming!"

The store inspection is responsible for maintaining market order. They have to patrol back and forth every day, just to be afraid that someone will cause trouble. Today, I saw a bunch of people gathered around this place making a lot of noise.

When everyone saw the inspection coming, they all made way. The inspection shouted impatiently, "What are you arguing about? If you don't do business well so early in the morning, what's the fuss about?"

The man preemptively complained to the inspection officer, "Brother inspection officer, you can judge us. My mother-in-law and I have been setting up a stall at this spot for more than half a year. Today, our spot has been occupied by this woman. You have to judge us." Judging." As he spoke, he put a pair of dirty hands on the inspector's sleeves.
