Back to ancient times selling biscuits

Chapter 38 Neighborhood States

San Lang carried half a basket of cooked zongzi on his back, and carried a basket. In the basket were two catties of pork ribs, a chicken and a fish. San Lang thought about it for a long time before deciding to buy them.

On the contrary, it made Xiao Wu unhappy, "Let's just eat zongzi, why buy meat, even if you buy it, don't buy too much, we can't finish it after a full meal."

"Xiao Wu, do you hate our father?" This was the first time San Lang asked him.In the past, I was afraid of making Xiaowu think of something unhappy, so I usually had to mention my parents to quickly change the subject.

Kogoro's eyelids twitched, wanting to say hate, but before he could speak, his eyes turned red.Saburo sighed, let go of his hand and patted his head, and said earnestly, "Don't hate him, if you have the time to hate others, learn more skills from Mr. Zhen, and when you are as powerful as Mr. Zhen, they will regret it." .”

"Okay!" Xiao Wu sniffed, saying don't care about Wu Daming's beatings and scolding before, children can't do it, as Wu's village gets closer, the twins walk more and more slowly, "Brother, I, I want to Go home." This home naturally refers to the home in the county.

But today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and Saburo must take his younger siblings back to prevent anyone from making a fuss about it in the future. They must enter the village happily.

The twins didn't have a good impression of Wujia Village, but fortunately they listened to Sanlang's words, seeing his elder brother greeting the villagers with a smile, the fourth sister and Wulang smiled shyly at him.

Although they didn't say hello to them, people who were familiar with the twins said, "Why is Goro so obedient? The fourth sister also looks like a girl."

Then someone said, "It's still the county's water and soil to support people." As soon as the words fell, several people gathered around.

Saburo frowned, "When I go out to sell cakes, I can keep them at home, they are holding back."

"Just that, he looks more sensible than the brats in the village."

The living environment has changed, and the things on the twins have naturally changed as well.Saburo murmured in his heart, but said, "Really? Thanks to grandma who lived with us. The old lady was originally a servant of a rich family. A few days ago, the family went to do business elsewhere. She stayed to look at the house. Every day when I have nothing to do, I like to chat with the twins, Xiao Wu and Si Mei probably learned from her."

Hearing what he said, the people who talked to Saburo found the reason why the twins became better, and felt relieved, "Sanlang, do you make a lot of money every day? The house next to the county government is very expensive, and you can afford it. It's amazing!"

"Except for our use, there is not much to say." Everyone wanted to poke their lips, but Saburo said, "Anyway, it's better than helping others."

If Saburo said he had no money, the villagers would think he was a fake. If he said he had money, these people would whisper behind their backs, and they would start showing off if they had two bad money.

And these words are in line with people's minds, they will think, don't look at Saburo making some money, but the three brothers and sisters are pitiful.Parents beat them at every turn without saying anything, their elbows were still turned outwards, no adult followed behind to watch, it was right to make some money, otherwise, Saburo would be dead.

When the troublemaker saw Sanlang at first sight, he went to call Wu Daming. Everyone was chatting hotly, and Wu Daming and his wife came running from afar.Seeing that they were not like before, Saburo immediately reminded himself when he saw Wu Daming, "Be careful of your parents!"

It is certain that he brought such a thing back with a basket on his back and a basket on his shoulders, which still aroused the envy of others.

"Dad and mother are here? It's time for us to go home." Sanlang raised his foot and stopped suddenly after taking two steps. There is also a restaurant that recruits vegetable washers and waiters, and I don’t know if anyone in our village is willing to go.”

After his words fell, everyone was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to realize, "Yes, yes! Which restaurant does Saburo know?"

Saburo shook his head, "I heard about it when I was selling biscuits yesterday, but I was too busy making biscuits to ask."

"That--"

"Go back to the county and see if you know." Some people wanted to ask something else, and when they saw Wu Daming and his wife getting closer, they interrupted each other's words, "I heard that Sanlang has to meet and do things again." You have to charge money for cakes, so it’s good if he can remember what they said.”

"Hey, I'll definitely ask next time." Saburo smiled shyly.Seeing that everyone spoke in a more sincere tone, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But when Wu Daming came to Sanlang, he didn't yell like before, "Go home quickly!" He didn't dare to approach them. Wu Liang wanted to pull Sanlang's arm, but stretched out his hand and then retracted it.

Wu Daming wanted to talk to his only daughter, but the twins hid behind Saburo at the same time, and everyone who hadn't left laughed, "Sanlang, if your parents don't give you food, remember to go to my house."

"Sanlang is going to go to my house." Mancang, who followed Wu Daming, glared at him and said, "Sanlang was bullied before, but you still follow behind to applaud. Don't think that Sanlang doesn't care about it and I forget it."

"How long has it been?" Saburo smiled, not caring about what happened in the past three months, "We were young and ignorant before, and we will just get along in harmony in the future."

"Yes, yes! Saburo can still talk." The other party felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Mancang's words. When Sanlang said this, he found the steps and ran away.

It should be said that among the group of people surrounding Sanlang, there were quite a few who looked down on Sanlang in the past. If he seriously pursued it, he would not have passed the Dragon Boat Festival.

Therefore, Saburo is considered to be returning to his hometown now, but there are no rumors in the village.

As his parents returned home, San Lang put down his basket and said, "Xiao Wu, go get a bowl for vegetables."

"I'll go, he doesn't know where to put it." Wu Daming, who rarely doesn't go into the kitchen, has to squat in front of the pot door three times a day after his three children left home.Handing the basin to Saburo, he asked a little uncomfortable, "What's in the basket?"

"Grandma Sun taught me how to make zongzi." As soon as San Lang said, the fourth sister wanted to ask, third brother, why is he full of lies when he comes home?Xiao Wu glared at her, Fourth Sister pursed her lips and dared not speak.

Having not looked carefully at the children for many days, Wu Liang, who was thinking about children, saw the small movements of the fourth sister, and hurriedly asked, "Are you tired? Go inside and have a rest."

"I'll move the benches for you." Wu Daming went into the main room after finishing speaking.Saburo was very surprised, his eyelids twitched, is this his father?It won't be replaced by someone, right?

He didn't know that Wu Daming was just an ordinary citizen who had never been out of Taoyuan County. He spent half a day in prison, and after he came out, he did something bad and had nightmares that night.Coupled with Wu Lai's rogue attitude, and under the brainwashing of some villagers who did not deal with Wu Lai, Wu Daming is much better now than when Sanlang first came.

At least he knew that one day when he died, his daughter and son would be the only ones who would carry the flags and throw basins for him, and the nephews and nieces would at most give him [-]% in sackcloth and filial piety.

On Ching Ming Ghost Festival, only daughters and sons would come to worship him, and nephews and nieces would have their own parents.

Seeing him like this, Saburo stopped ignoring him, and put five or six big rice dumplings in the basin, "It's full, don't dislike it."

"What are you doing?!" Mancang stared, turned and left.In the past, it was not easy for Sanlang to cook pots, feed chickens and herd sheep, and take care of his younger siblings. He often helped him with work but never thought of asking for his things.

"Brother Mancang, I have made a lot of rice dumplings. We can't finish them if you don't want them." Sanlang stretched out his hand to grab him, "I heard people say that rice dumplings are not easy to digest, so you can only eat one at a time, otherwise the stomach will be bloated and uncomfortable."

"Then what are you doing so much?" Man Cang glared at him again as he spoke, "How can you spend the money you earn like this? Xiao Wu and Si Mei are still young, so you should think about them too."

"I know, but I only eat it once a year. Xiaowu and Simei saw the neighbors eating zongzi, drooling anxiously. I went to buy glutinous rice and wanted to make more. I haven't done it before, so I will make more at once." It's gone." Saburo handed him the pot, "Hurry up and send it home, I still need this pot."

Mancang knew he was talking nonsense, sighed, shook his head and went home.

Afraid that Saburo would give him something more, he put down the basin and walked out. This time, Sanlang didn't stop him, but took out a fish and a catty of pork belly from the basket, and piled up six rice dumplings, "Father, what are you giving to Grandpa?" Grandma will send it over, or should I send it?"

Wu Daming was very distressed when he saw that Sanlang had filled the warehouse with so many zongzi all at once, and wanted to reprimand him, but he saw Xiao Wu's cold look from the corner of his eye, and couldn't speak the words out of his throat.

Hearing what San Lang said, he didn't react for a while, and wanted to say he would go, but San Lang had already said, "Then I'll go." Then he said, "Mother, cut up the meat, chop the chicken, and I'll cook when I get home. Xiaowu, Simei, you two have a zongzi. Dad, if you are hungry, eat a zongzi first."

"Oh, I'm not hungry, I'll eat when you come back." Wu Daming said quickly.

San Lang smiled, and while the two were staring at Rou, he winked at Xiao Wu.Waiting for Sanlang to walk out the door with the fish and rice dumplings in his hands, Xiao Wu deftly pushed aside three rice dumplings, "Mother, you eat." Then he pushed another one to Wu Daming without calling him Dad, "Eat it."

Wu Daming was a little flattered, he quickly picked up the bowl, took a big bite, "Huh? What's in it?"

"Let me take a look." The fourth sister didn't hear Dad scolding or see him getting angry, so she boldly raised her head and took a look, "It's bacon. Mom, there are red dates in your zongzi."

"Ah? How much does it cost?" Seeing that there were more than a dozen zongzi in the basket, Wu Liang couldn't help but calculate.

"I don't know, the third brother didn't say anything." Seeing her put it down, the fourth sister said, "Why doesn't mother eat?"

"Mother doesn't like to eat, you can eat it." Wu Liang's heart throbbed when he thought that all he ate would be copper coins.

"Isn't it delicious?" Fourth Sister wondered, "Everyone says it's delicious."

"Which adult?" Wu Daming shook his hand and almost threw the bowl out.

Xiaowu got his brother's words, and must not let others know that Mr. Zhen eats at their house every day, so he hurriedly said, "When third brother was cooking rice dumplings, Mr. Zhen came to us when he smelled the smell, and asked if it was our rice dumplings? The third brother said yes, sir, try it and praise it delicious!"

"Master Zhen has eaten this zongzi?" Wu Liang asked in disbelief.

"That's right." Xiao Wu nodded, "Mother, if you don't eat it, it will be cold."

"Oh, good, eat!" The couple were imprisoned by Zhen Qingming for a long time, and now they respect him like gods. Seeing what Xiaowu said, they forgot about the money in an instant, and wanted to get it after eating one. Thinking of Sanlang's words, the couple got up at the same time Go chop the meat and chop the chicken.

At the same time, Saburo took the fish and deliberately went around to a crowded place, and heard others knowingly ask, "Why are you going?"

Saburo said, "Send meat to grandparents."

"Your father sent it."

"That's a bit small." Seeing people looking up at his zongzi, Saburo deliberately changed the things in his hands so that people could see clearly how big his zongzi was.Seeing that it was almost done, Saburo said, "I have to go, it's late for grandparents to eat."

As soon as he said it, these people remembered that Sanlang had been at home for so long, but Wu Erming's family hadn't come out yet.

Speaking of Wu Erming, he was very shrewd. Even if the couple wanted Wu Daming's things very much, he never showed up and let his parents grind with Wu Daming.

Seeing that it was Wu Erming who opened the door, Saburo perked up all of a sudden, and quickly turned into a look of ignoring him.
