Chapter 79 Rice Balls
I walked on the mountain road for more than an hour, and after I got off the mountain, I had to walk another half an hour before I could reach Tang Laifeng's house. On the way, I saw an old lady selling breakfast. She was hiding her head and shy, and she looked like she was secretly hiding her stall.
"Do you want the rice ball? One dime, don't have food coupons." An old lady pushed the cart and asked them in a low voice, looking around from time to time, just like doing underground work.
"Will you catch this if you buy it? I don't dare to buy it." Huo Jinzhi deliberately pretended to be afraid.
A few years ago, he entered the city and went to the black market to buy grain. He was almost arrested by the one wearing red armband. Fortunately, he ran fast, but the farmers who sold grain were not so lucky and were caught.
Now this aunt dares to sell breakfast in broad daylight, and it feels much looser than before.
"Don't worry, I didn't catch people who bought things. I was caught last month and I was fined a little money and released it. Now it's more relaxed than before. I heard that in a while, the country will allow stalls to be opened. Good days are coming soon!"
The old lady said with a smile, although she was still cautious, she was obviously much more courageous than before. She said again: "My rice ball is delicious, the dried plums are fragrant, and the fried dough sticks are solid. One is enough. Let me give you one."
"Four, it's more than enough."
Huo Jinzhi took out 40 cents from his pocket, and Tang Xiaonan hurriedly said, "I won't eat it."
She was afraid that Huo Jinzhi would not even be able to eat enough for food if she was poor. It was obvious that the Huo family had no money and 40 cents were not cheap.
Tang Laijin was about to pay, but he was not too scared to ask for a poor child to treat him. He still had a few cents. Huo Jinzhi was very quick and had already paid the money. He said to Tang Xiaonan, "I have money."
He was really rich. Before his father left, he gave Tang Baishan five hundred yuan, left him five hundred yuan and five hundred kilograms of national food coupons. He rarely had the opportunity to consume, and he dared not consume in the village.
The orphan and widowed mother with a huge sum of money is still a great beauty, just like a piece of raw flesh dripping with blood, which will attract countless beasts, and he can't resist it at all.
Therefore, he would rather starve than spend money, and he would not starve to death for a few meals, but if he exposed the huge amount of money, he and his mother would probably not be able to survive.
"The money given by Grandpa Qi." Huo Jinzhi explained again.
Tang Laijin took back the money. The old man Qi heard that he used to be a foreign ink drinker, so it was normal for him to have some money on him.
The aunt collected the money with a smile, took a clean white cloth, scooped some glutinous rice on the cloth, added some dried plums with lard and sugar, added half a fried dough stick, added glutinous rice, put the balls together, and pinched them hard, and a hard and soft rice ball was made, and then wrapped it with a piece of dried lotus leaves to Huo Jinzhi.
The weight is indeed sufficient, one can hold it until the belly is round.
While the aunt was cooking a meal, Huo Jinzhi chatted with her. It seemed casual, but in fact every sentence had a deep meaning.
"I heard that someone here sells postcards at the entrance of the cinema, is it true?"
"Who knows, but there is a girl selling her alley in my alley. She is very smart. She doesn't sell herself. She found a few children to help her sell her. At that time, she can give her a few cents to her salary. She won't catch the child when she sees it. She just bombarded her. The woman made a lot of money. She only added a seventeen-inch TV to her family in just half a year, and asked her relatives to bring it back from Songcheng."
The aunt looked envious. Although she had made some money selling rice balls, she was not yet able to buy a TV. However, she didn't have the ability and didn't have such a big ambition, so she was content with her little fight.
