Chapter 128: Knowledge
Xiao Youshu could understand a little, but he didn't understand it.
However, he understood the fact that buying dry food from here requires other conditions.
Xiao Youshu didn't mind this. He knew that the world was not good recently, and nearby villagers suffered disasters, and grain prices in various places were even rising.
In theory, the surge in grain prices is not entirely a bad thing for farmers. However, those big grain merchants sell high food but collect low food. As for selling it themselves, not to mention transportation, there are many roads here, and it is not just a casual ordinary person who wants to sell it smoothly and smoothly.
Furthermore, food is the most important thing in the year of disaster. After paying rent, poor families cannot save much grain, and they have to prepare winter. Even if they eat food by themselves, they are far from enough, so where can they sell the excess to others?
Xiao Youshu's hometown is Wu'an. The grain in the county was sold for 50,000 yuan per stone, and the price was more than doubled. In this way, there was still a price but no market. The grain harvest was poor in various places, and farmers had to spend the winter without food. A few days ago, his neighbor had just bought a batch of grain from behind. He was robbed that night, which made people feel very uneasy.
While thinking, Xiao Youshu got out of the car and followed Gu An and Gu Ning to see Gu Zhuang specialties that could earn him so-called points.
As he walked forward, Xiao Youshu felt that this small mountain village seemed a little unusual and couldn't help but think.
Where the local specialties were sold, at the foot of the mountain, it was surrounded by green trees and beautiful scenery. Xiao Youshu didn't plan to buy a lot, but when he saw this specialties, he unknowingly exceeded the budget.
The packaging of pear paste is simple and elegant. The white porcelain bottle carved the entire process of the growth of small pears and being boiled into pear paste. The whole series of paintings are simple and cute. How could it be possible to buy only a part of them?
Xiao Youshu couldn't help it and bought ten sets in one go, one set was ten bottles, the size of a palm.
The villagers of Guzhuang were responsible for packing it and packing it with solid vines. The upper and lower layers of the inner layer were filled with soft hay and tied up strongly. Even if an accident occurred on the way, it would not be easily damaged.
In addition to pear paste, rattan wood carvings were also more exquisite than elsewhere. He saw a folding bookcase, but he didn't know how to make it. It was only a small one when folded, but it was five layers high.
There is also a green pen holder, which should be made of bamboo, but its tentacles are as gentle as jade. Xiao Youshu's eyes shine. In addition, it is very cheap. I bought one set, and even the bookcase with pen holder, pen holder, inkstone box, etc. were only fifty cents. He bought three sets at once, preparing to use one set himself and give it to his friend for the other two.
After buying local specialties, Xiao Youshu got five small wooden signs, one carved five moons and the other carved six small flowers. The carving work cannot be said to be so exquisite, but it is quite skillful.
It is said that with this wooden sign, you can go to the cafeteria to have dinner.
Gu An and Gu Ning were also very happy. The brother and sister accepted the points they earned from entertaining guests and introduced the situation in the canteen to this generous guest very enthusiastically.
"If the guest is traveling far away, you can ask our sister Sanniang to make a travel package for you. It is delicious. The most important thing is to store it properly and it can be stored for half a month."
Xiao Youshu said that he wanted to settle down, and the two young boys immediately led him to see the houses he could live in.
"You are a guest who comes by a carriage, so why not stay at the entrance of the village. First, you are closer to the canteen and you will arrive after a few steps. Second, the house is a bamboo house that has just been built. Although it is warm and not comparable to a serious house, if you only stay for a short time, the Hsinchu house will be clean and hygienic and the scenery is beautiful."
While nodding, Xiao Youshu was sent to the bamboo building. He sat comfortably on the drying platform. He sighed and smiled, "Old Sun, I think this village is extraordinary."
Lao Sun was his coachman and his housekeeper, and he just smiled and said, "I didn't see anything else. Anyway, I can do business. Maybe this is a businessman."
This dynasty focuses on business, and the Xiao family also has several shops. Lao Sun's son is still a shopkeeper. He thought that he should really let his son learn from other villagers.
Xiao Youshu smiled: "Okay, wash your face, let's try the food that the two young boys praised for being heaven."
Lao Sun blinked: "I'm afraid Mr. Lang will be disappointed."
Their husband is a famous gourmet in Wu'an County. He has eaten all kinds of restaurants in the county. Although he is not very picky, the food in this small village is probably difficult to catch his eye.
"If people are hungry, they will taste good when they eat."
Xiao Youshu walked all the way to the cafeteria, and it turned out to be as the two teenagers said, the place was easy to find and was relatively close. When the villagers he met along the way heard that he was going to the cafeteria, they all rushed to lead the way for him. His enthusiastic and thoughtful appearance scared the coachman Lao Sun.
After walking for a while, Xiao Youshu exclaimed softly.
With the mountain breeze, the faint and indescribable fragrance dripped into his nose little by little. He couldn't tell how it tasted. It seemed a bit spicy and particularly fragrant.
A farmer walked across from him, carrying a hoe on his shoulder and a basket on his arm. The fragrance became more and more intense, and it was just coming from the basket.
Before Xiao Youshu could speak, another man who led him to the road asked with a smile: "Tiezhu, what delicious food did our third lady cook? It's so delicious?"
Wang Tiezhu said: "It's called a salt and salt chicken stand, first come first served, go quickly."
Xiao Youshu saw that the mountain was bustling with lively, and there were simple-dressed farmers and women in front of him, all of whom were young and old, and each was in agile step. At this time, he was a little unwilling to others, not as polite and considerate as before.
Soon, when I saw smoke rising from the cooking stove, Xiao Youshu unconsciously went in line and swallowed his saliva. The feeling of smell at this moment was really domineering.
His eyes fell on the dining table next to him, and he happened to see a young man holding a large pot of red... tofu and all the same red pieces of meat served on the table.
The young man ate the tofu and the cooked cake, and the faster he ate the light in his eyes was about to overflow, which made Xiao Youshu cover his stomach hard.
The meat is fine, is the tofu so delicious?
Although the team was long, the speed was fast. In just a moment, Xiao Youshu arrived at the front of a stone desk.
He has grown older in recent years. Although he is still very delicious, he usually goes to restaurants to eat light food, and eats less meat. This time he unconsciously stares at the menu and orders fried tofu, braised rabbit meat, and cold vegetables set meals.
He regretted it after ordering it. Now his appetite is smaller than before. Don’t waste such a large dish.
After a moment—
"Well, I really have to eat only one serving?"
The tofu is so fragrant and tender, as if it melts on the tip of the tongue without having to bite, and it is fresh and delicious.
The rabbit meat is not a bit chewy, but it only makes people unable to help biting it again and again, without any effort.
This is obviously just a big pot dish made in the countryside. How could it be so delicious?
