Well, that's right! My wife wants to pickle some ginger, but I don't have enough sugar at home, so let me buy some sugar.

Uncle Li's answer was somewhat unexpected to Xu Tongdao.

Looking at the white sugar in his hand, there are at least two or three kilograms. The old lady pickled ginger, and she knew that there was so much white sugar. This is something Xu Tongdao did not expect.

Because most people pickle ginger these days, they rarely use white sugar. The more common method is to stuff the washed and dried ginger directly into chili sauce or soybean paste. His own mother, Ge Xiaozhu, likes to do this.

Pickled ginger with plenty of sugar…

Probably want to pickle ginger with sweet and sour flavor.

If it is well marinated, it is sweet and sour, and it is really delicious.

Nodding, Xu Tongdao smiled and praised: Grandma's pickled ginger must be delicious, do you want to pickle it with sweet and sour flavor?

This time, it was Uncle Li's turn to be surprised, Yo, Xiao Xu, do you also know sweet and sour ginger?

Tongdao Xu smiled.

Then Uncle Li said, Then you like to eat it, don't you? Well, I'll wait for my wife to marinate it, and I'll get you some! Let's try it, okay?

No! No! Grandpa Li, you are too polite, you should keep it for you!

What you want! All right, that's all! I'll go back first, so I won't disturb your business.

With that said, Uncle Li nodded to Tongdao Xu as a goodbye. Before leaving, he also looked at the situation in Tongdao Xu's store with a bit of curiosity in his eyes.

...

After Uncle Li left, Tongdao Xu continued to concentrate on grilling skewers again. Soon, another guest came to the door, and his dinner tonight was postponed again.

...

Uncle Li staggered back to his small courtyard. When he stepped into the courtyard door, he was a little out of breath. After all, when people are old, their physical strength declines.

When he walked into his main room, at the brightly lit Baxian table in the main room, the old lady was wearing a pair of reading glasses and was cutting a large pot of fresh ginger that had just been on the market.

This large pot of ginger has been washed and dried.

The old lady was very patient, and cut the pieces of ginger into slices one by one. These gingers were very tender, and when they were cut with the knife, they made a sizzling sound, which was quite pleasant.

Uncle Li walked over with a smile, put the white sugar he just bought on the table, glanced at his wife, then took a sip from the tea jar on the table, the old lady lowered her head and looked over the reading glasses Glancing at him, he asked casually, Are you back?

Ai!

Uncle Li responded, smacking his lips, and suddenly said, Hey, Guizhi! When I came back just now, I saw Xiao Xu's kid's barbecue shop, and the kid was grilling at the door of the shop!

Hearing this, the old lady stopped the kitchen knife in her hand, turned her head to look at it, and said with a surprised expression, Really? You mean the little Xu who lives in our courtyard? Didn't he set up a stall on the street to sell barbecue?

Uncle Li laughed twice, Yes! It's that kid. When I passed there yesterday, the store had not yet opened. Today, it looks like his store opened on the first day, hey, Guizhi! You said let's They all live in the same courtyard, so it’s not easy for Xiao Xu’s child, right? Let’s, shall we call Chunlan and Qiuju to cheer him up and gain popularity? What do you think?”

The old lady frowned and thought about it, and took off the reading glasses on her face.

After thinking for a few seconds, she smiled, nodded and said, Well, you're right! That child is about the same age as Chunlan and Qiuju. Chunlan and Qiuju are still studying, but he came out to earn money by himself. It's easy! Okay! Then I'll go back and cut these gingers again, today happens to be worshipping Lu (Saturday), Chunlan and Qiuju happen to be there, I'll call them both!

As the old lady said that, she put down her glasses, kitchen knife, and took off the sleeve protector on her arm, turned around and went out from the main room.

Uncle Li was very happy, and took two more sips from the tea jar.

...

After a while.

Wei Chunlan and Wei Qiuju's two sisters' room suddenly heard Wei Qiuju's voice, Don't go! Auntie,

I do not want to go! go to you! I don't want to go anyway!

house.

The old lady frowned and looked at Wei Qiuju, who had short hair and dark skin, and asked helplessly, Why? Qiuju, we all live in the same yard. Xiao Xu and the others are also very good. Your uncle and I are also very good. If you invite you to eat, and you don’t want your sisters to spend money, why don’t you want to go?”

Wei Chunlan also frowned and looked at her sister Wei Qiuju, Yes! My aunt and uncle invited us to a barbecue, let's go together!

Wei Qiuju snorted coldly, with a disdainful expression, Auntie! Do you think those three guys are good people? Hmph, I don't think they are good people! Anyway, I don't want to cheer for them, and I won't give them to them. Come on!

Hearing what she said, the old lady pulled her face down, her unhappy expression all over her face, Bullshit! Xiao Xu, the three of them, why don't they look like good people? Qiu Ju! It's not my aunt who told you! It's not good for a girl's family to always look at everyone like a bad person!

Wei Chunlan echoed: That's right! Do you think you look like a good person? Think for yourself, how many girls look like you!

This is pertinent. Wei Qiuju with short hair and dark skin is indeed not as soft as ordinary girls. The muscles on her body are estimated to be stronger than most boys. Not to mention whether one punch can kill a cow, most boys are probably not her opponents.

At least from the outside, she is definitely the kind of woman who can abuse her husband after marriage.

But...often the more pertinent a word is, the more stimulating it will be.

No, Wei Qiuju got mad and slapped the desk with an angry slap. She jumped up and down the books, exercise books, teacups, stationery boxes, etc. on the desk, Wei Chunlan!! Do you want to die? There's something you want to say again?

As an older sister, Wei Chunlan was scared by her younger sister Wei Qiuju and shrank her neck. She smiled embarrassingly and stepped forward to grab Wei Qiuju's arm, Oh! Let's go! My aunt and uncle invited us to have a barbecue! You Don't you like eating barbecue very much! Let's go! Don't be angry, don't be angry, okay?

Wei Chunlan, who took the initiative to admit her cowardice... made Wei Qiuju, who was furious, speechless for a while, and was dragged out by Wei Chunlan.

...

Hey, Xiao Xu! We're here to cheer you on...

Tongdao Xu who was in front of the oven heard Uncle Li's voice again, and turned to look in surprise. He was surprised again.

Uncle Li and his wife actually brought the twin sisters Wei Chunlan and Wei Qiuju here. Are they here to cheer me on?

After being stunned for a while, Xu Tongdao reacted.

He hurriedly stepped forward to help the old lady and greeted them warmly to sit in the store. To be honest, at this moment, he was very moved.

He and Uncle Li are not related but not related. He and Xu Tonglin and Ge Lianghua are only renting in Uncle Li's yard. It can only be regarded as a chance encounter. One day he earns money and wants to improve his living conditions. He may move out at any time. .

But it was such a chance encounter, but Uncle Li and his wife were able to bring Wei Chunlan and the others to support his new store.

He had never met such a good landlord before.
