Chapter 55 Fried Meatballs

When he woke up the next morning, Xin Andong wrapped his eyes in the quilt and opened his eyes. He felt short of breath. He vaguely thought that he caught a cold last night, and finally fell asleep in his mother's warm embrace at Brother Aihua's house. of.Alas, he knocked his head painfully, glanced at the empty bowl on the bedside out of the corner of his eye, and then remembered that he was fed ginger soup by his mother after returning home and fell asleep.

He got out of bed after getting dressed, put on socks, old cotton shoes, and down jacket, and walked out the door, just in time to see grandma feeding the chickens with a pot of wild vegetables, and he called out, "Grandma."

Mrs. Xin turned her head, immediately dropped the chicken pot, and said in a hurry, "If you have a fever, what can you do? Go back to bed and lie down, and grandma will bring the porridge bowl to the bedside to feed you!"

He really thought he was a three-year-old child, and he needed to be fed. Xin Andong sweated and said hurriedly, "I don't need milk, I woke up, and my forehead is no longer hot, but my nose is blocked. It's okay. After a while Time will be fine."

Speaking of his previous life, Xin Andong's body was excellent, and it was unusual for him to catch a cold at most once a year. Now that he's here, he can treat trivial things like catching a cold very calmly. Anyway, this body is only slightly better than that of the weaker Sister Lin. , It's normal to have a headache and fever at every turn.

Anyway, it will be fine in a week. At worst, I have a nasal sound in my speech these days, and I breathe through my mouth when I sleep. Renren will pass soon.

"Grandma, did my mother go back to the county seat last night or this morning?" he asked.

Seeing that her grandson refused to go back to bed, Grandma Xin had no choice but to follow him, and ran to feed the chicken that was poorly left behind, and said, "She said she couldn't leave the store, so she went back last night and invited Jiang My second uncle sent them away specially, and took away the lobsters I caught, don’t worry, your mother said there must be enough, tomorrow is Chinese New Year’s Eve, and the lobster restaurant will be closed, anyway, it’s only one day, so I should be able to get through it.”

"That's good. I fell asleep at brother Aihua's house yesterday, so I don't know when I'll come back." Xin Andong was very annoyed. He went out with his parents to do errands, but who knew that he lost the chain halfway, that is, his parents. Otherwise, I will lose face.

Since there are enough lobsters, there is nothing to do. Now there is one thing in front of him that he needs to hurry up. Looking at the rows of sausages hanging in the yard, Xin Andong said to Mrs. Xin, "Grandma, I have to go there later. In the city, I plan to sell all these sausages except for keeping a little at home to eat by myself. The time is relatively urgent, and the drying step will be saved, otherwise fewer people should buy them after the New Year.”

During the Chinese New Year, as long as there is some money in hand, everyone will spend it generously. After the New Year, it will be hard to say. Taking advantage of the heat, Xin Andong can't let go of this good opportunity to make money.

"It looks like fresh meat, can someone buy it?" It will take a while before it can be made into sausages. Grandma Xin is not very confident that anyone will buy this kind of meat that looks inedible.

Xin Andong was quite confident, "Someone must buy it. These sausages just need to be bought and dried for a while at home. It's nothing serious."

Maybe people saw that the freshly stuffed sausages were not air-dried and they were so big that there were so many people buying them, he couldn't help thinking.

"Okay, put on more clothes when you go out. You have a fever. Have breakfast. Grandma cooked two eggs for you today, as well as polenta. You must like it." He won't stop him, and when he heard that he was going to the city again, he hurriedly wanted to feed his grandson, otherwise he would be hungry when he was out of the house.

"Well, I love to eat, and grandma really understands me best." Xin Andong was indeed hungry, so he went to wash up and have breakfast immediately.

After breakfast, Xin Andong went to Jiang's house to look for Jiang Dahe. The two had previous experience and were old partners. It happened that Wang Xiangmei was also at home. When Xin Andong passed by, Jiang Dahe was begging his mother for fried meatballs.

Fried meatballs were made during the Chinese New Year. Although the Jiang family had some money, they were not particularly rich after all, and it was impossible to eat meat every day. Seizing a rare opportunity, Jiang Dahe followed Wang Xiangmei every step of the way to ask for meatballs.

He was very happy when he saw Xin Andong, and enthusiastically handed him a meatball, "Eat it quickly! The fried meatballs made by my mother are delicious. I can only eat them once a year during the Chinese New Year. I have to eat them often." Dream about it."

Xin Andong's kindness was hard to resist. He took the black meatball and ate it into his mouth. Not to mention, the appearance was not good, but the taste was really good. He nodded and said, "It's delicious, my aunt's cooking skills are really good." At the same time, He took out an egg from his pocket and gave it to Jiang Dahe, "I'll give you one of my milk-boiled eggs."

"That's right, my mother's cooking is delicious, not worse than yours!" Jiang Dahe licked the finger holding the meatball, and said proudly, his eyes lit up when he saw the egg, and then said, "It's still Dongzi thinking of me!" He peeled off the egg and stuffed it into his mouth.

Wang Xiangmei was overjoyed by her son's praise, but seeing him swallowing eggs like a starved ghost reincarnated made her eyes hurt again. She glared at Jiang Dahe, but she was very satisfied with the kindness that the Xin family boy treated her son, and said modestly, " This kid, how can I compare with Dongzi, Dongzi’s spicy crayfish is famous in the county, and there are several envious shops in our village who want to sell spicy crayfish, but the taste is not comparable to Dongzi’s, I heard Oh, the recipe of spicy crayfish was invented by Dongzi, your mother and I don’t have the ability to make a lot of money!”

When Wang Xiangmei said this, she was definitely not bitter, she really thought that the Xin family boy was amazing, and she looked at Xin Andong with admiration.

The Xin family opened a shop in the county with a spicy crayfish recipe. It was rumored in the village that they had made a lot of money. The youngest son of the family sold sausages, and they sold them in the city. They heard from his son that there were a lot of people chasing after them to buy them. They also tasted the sausage that his son brought home, and they thought they had never eaten such a delicious sausage. Absolutely, I really can't think of it being a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy who came up with it.

Xin Andong was not very good at dealing with aunts like Wang Xiangmei, so he kept a humble attitude and said, "I just love to eat, and I just think about it in my head when I have nothing to do. I may cook spicy crayfish better than my aunt, but you must be better than me for other dishes. Too much, so don't make fun of me."

He is greedy, and people who like to eat generally have good skills, just like a housewife who cooks at home every day, cooking and cooking every day, no matter how poor the skills can be.

Women love to be flattered, especially when Xin Andong praised her for her good craftsmanship, and Wang Xiangmei, who was indeed a good crafter, was very happy, and she spoke with a little more sincerity, "Haha, my aunt spends many months at home except taking care of the children and cooking. Is there any woman in China who doesn't know how to specialize in one or two dishes, and you, Uncle Jiang, are right, you, the Xin family, are the only ones in our village who can make one dish so famous!"

Boasting is like kicking a football, and it's quite boring, Xin Andong smiled and said, "Auntie, I asked Dahe for help, I want him to go to the city with me, and Second Uncle Jiang's ox cart, can I rent it again? once?"

Jiang Dahe was bored, so Dongzi was [-]% happy to ask him to go to the city, "Dongzi, are you going to sell sausages in the city again? I'll be with you!"

Wang Xiangmei didn't stop her, and said bluntly, "What's the matter, his second uncle went out to play, and the ox cart is at home, you have to use it to pull it." She scooped up the crackling meatballs in the oil pan and put them in again After making a pot, he looked at the pot and said to Xin Andong, "Dahe can gain knowledge by going to the city with you, so that this unlucky kid won't play sand cannons with those kids in the village!"

Jiang Dahe is still infatuated with sand cannons. He used to be mischievous and loved to fight, but he seldom fights when he entered junior high school. Still deeply in love, half of the 20 yuan Xin Andong gave him last time has already been spent, and all of them are sand cannons!

If the remaining ten yuan hadn't been confiscated directly by Wang Xiangmei when he discovered the suspicious point, the family really didn't know that the Xin family boy had given his son 20 yuan in a big way. With Xin Andong's money, he just felt that the Xin family boy was sincere, and that his stupid son could not suffer from following him.

"Then thank you, auntie, please tell my second uncle," Xin Andong smiled reassuringly. Without Jiang Dahe, he really couldn't do it alone. After speaking, he immediately greeted Jiang Dahe, "Dahe, let's go."

"Okay," Jiang Dahe replied, turned his head and took a few meatballs from the Haiwan, waved casually at Wang Xiangmei, "Mom, I'm leaving!"

Eat, eat, know to eat!

Wang Xiangmei had a black line on her forehead, and she shouted worriedly behind the two people who walked out, "The city is no better than the county seat, so be careful if you go there once, Dongzi, you help auntie take care of Dahe, I don't worry about his recklessness. "Don't look at the thin and weak boy of the Xin family, she just thinks he is more reliable than her own stupid son.

"Don't worry, Auntie, I will take care of Dahe." Xin Andong said obediently.

Jiang Dahe pursed his lips in displeasure, "Hey! I'm older than you, so I should take care of you!"

Your mother obviously knows that you are the baby who needs to be protected, Xin Andong shrugged, and didn't say this directly in order not to hurt Jiang Dahe's self-esteem.

With the experience of selling sausages in the city last time, this time the two of them are familiar with driving, and they also changed to driving ox carts. On the way, Xin Andong bought ten sesame seed cakes to feed Jiang Dahe. Without complaining, the two quickly rushed to Wanran City with an ox cart of sausages.

Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, so the market in Wanran City is obviously more lively than when they came last time, there is a continuous stream of hawking and people, many people are shopping, almost to the point of crowding.They originally wanted to sell sausages at the stall last time, but obviously they were unlucky, and that inconspicuous stall was also taken up.

The uncle who sells fruit has been there like a screw. Seeing the two of them, he greeted them kindly. He glanced at the white plastic skin behind the bullock cart. His nose moved, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said enthusiastically, " Hey boy, come to sell sausages again? This time, I will leave two more hangs for uncle!"

The last time I bought a hanging back, I was waiting to prepare it for the Chinese New Year. Who knew that a few brats could not wait to eat it as soon as I took it home. It was useless for him to hang the sausage on the roof. He was so daring to touch two small benches, he was startled, he couldn't let his son break his leg just because he ate it in one bite, and after beating up the elder and younger son, he had no choice but to take out the sausage and eat it.

Once I eat it, I can't hold it anymore. If there is one, there will be two. His mother-in-law is also greedy for sausages, and the son is steamed when he acts like a baby. According to this posture, he will eat them all within seven days!

Before, I thought about using it to honor my parents and my in-laws during the Chinese New Year, but I was annoyed when I saw that the sausages were almost gone, but I didn't expect the two boys who sell sausages to come again!

Xin Andong and the two of them led the ox cart passing by the fruit seller, and readily agreed, "Uncle Haole! But today we have to walk a few steps to find a stall. You will remember to buy from us later. If you go late, you will be caught by someone else." Pick it up!"

It’s not like he’s talking big, the sausages in the cart are full of fragrance, and the noses of dogs are very agile. The bullock cart almost follows the eyes of passers-by to find a place to stop. When Xin Andong lifts the white plastic cover, It is no exaggeration to say that passers-by don't make too many slobbering voices.

It's still the same as last time, ten yuan and three pieces, but because the sausages haven't been dried this time, they look particularly plump, and the thick cylindrical sausages look very attractive, and they don't even need to be sold. Plug it into the bullock cart, and you're on your way!

Soon, Hulala came to buy sausages, and those who didn’t bargain, just picked them up. The uncle who sold the fruit was afraid that he would not be able to buy sausages, so he left the fruit stand and rushed over to buy three hangers in a hurry. Others looked at his posture It's also blindfolded, three hanging sausages cost 30 yuan, the fruit seller is really rich, and his anxious appearance really calmed down some people who were originally on the sidelines.

What are you waiting for, if you don't buy it, it will be sold out!
