Not to mention the two little fellows.
They had never eaten such delicious noodles before.
"Slurp ~! Hot ~! It's too hot!"
"Ah ~! Ah ~! Blow!"
The eel noodles had just come out of the pot, and the temperature was still very high. The two little fellows could not eat it.
He could only smell the fragrance, but he could not eat it. He was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.
Li Xia smiled and shook her head. She picked up some noodles for Nuan Nuan and blew on them to cool them before feeding them to her.
Liu Mengxi also helped Duoduo blow out the noodles.
When the first mouthful of noodles was put into their mouths with the eel meat, the two milk dumplings mumbled as they ate.
She wanted to express how delicious the noodles were, but she didn't know what words to use.
The two pairs of grape-like eyes became watery.
"The noodles are so delicious! Slurp ~! It's so delicious!"
"Super chicken is so bad! Daddi, Nuannuan wants more! I want more!"
The two little fellows couldn't stop after the first bite.
The taste of the eel noodles made them fall for it.
……
At the entrance.
Jiang Shunwang carried his hoe and stood on the spot.
The peeled sweet potato in his hand instantly became tasteless.
"Hiss ~! What kind of delicious food is this street house cooking? It's really too tempting!”
At this moment, Aunt Wang walked out from inside.
She saw Jiang Shunwang standing there motionlessly and asked in puzzlement,
"Old Jiang, what are you doing there? Why aren't you going to the fields?”
Jiang Shunwang winked at his wife and said,
"Do you smell it? At the house of the Liuzi on the next street, they were building again early in the morning!”
When Aunt Wang heard Jiang Shunwang's words, she suddenly smelled the fragrance coming from next door.
"Aiyo! What a prodigal! Eating oily meat so early in the morning, it was free!”
Although it was not a waste of her family's oil and grain, Aunt Wang, who had always been thrifty, could not help but feel a heartache.
Jiang Shunwang sniffed hard and swallowed his saliva before saying,
"I wonder what delicious food the neighbor is cooking. There's the fragrance of ginger and garlic. They must have made some meat dishes!”
"It's indeed fragrant. She actually ate so well in the morning. She really doesn't know how to live!”
Jiang Shunwang and his wife were chatting.
At this moment, Li Xia's courtyard door was pushed open with a creak.
Chu Mengxi changed into her work clothes and prepared to head to the county town's Yongshun textile factory to work.
As soon as she stepped out, she saw Jiang Shunwang and his wife.
Chu Mengxi herself did not notice that her mood was unusually bright today, and her face had also become much ruddy.
She smiled and greeted Jiang Shunwang and his wife.
"Uncle Jiang, Aunt Wang, good morning. Have you eaten?”
"Oh, I ate it!"
Aunt Wang nodded. Then, her expression changed. She walked over and asked,
"Hey, Little Chu, it's so early in the morning, and your family is already cooking? What did you make that smells so good?"
Chu Mengxi told him the truth and replied,"
"Um…it's eel noodles. Li Xia got some eels from the field last night and made eel noodles for me and the two milk dumplings.”
" Eel noodles?!"
Aunt Wang was stunned. She felt that something was a little strange.
Was the eel delicious?
That thing could be seen everywhere in the paddy fields. There were many of them, and they even ate crops. It was quite annoying.
What, that thing can be eaten?
Aunt Wang didn't understand.
However, he did smell it just now. It was really fragrant, and he believed that the smell was not bad.
Chu Mengxi was afraid that she would be late for work, so she didn't chat with Aunt Wang for long. After saying goodbye, she went to the county town.
Aunt Wang turned around and nudged Jiang Shunwang with her elbow. She asked,
"Old Jiang, the eel that no one wants in that field can be cooked into noodles. Is that true?”
Jiang Shunwang shook his head and replied,
"Eels aren't something to eat. At the beginning of the year, the village head held a banquet and caught a few catties of eels from his paddy field to cook. He brought them to the table, and everyone tasted them. They casually spat them out, saying that they were extremely fishy and unpalatable!”
When Aunt Wang heard this, she was even more puzzled.
"Then why does the fire on the street next door smell so good? I think Little Chu went out with a full stomach, which means that the eel noodles are definitely not difficult to eat. They might even be delicious!”
Jiang Shunwang looked at his wife's expression and knew that she also wanted to catch eels to burn.
Jiang Shunwang hurriedly said,
"Hey, I'll say it! Don't mess around. Don't try to make eel noodles!”
"When the time comes, the noodles will be fishy and unpalatable. Not only will it waste oil, but it will also waste flour.”
"We only have a few catties of flour at home. After we harvest the vegetables in the fields in a few days, we'll go to the county town to sell some money and buy a piece of lean pork.”
"You'll be struck by lightning if you waste food!”
Aunt Wang couldn't be bothered to listen to Jiang Shunwang's nagging and said impatiently,
"I know. You're so long-winded. I was just thinking.”
"I don't know how to make eel noodles either.”
"However, why is Li Xia, that street scoundrel, able to cook so well? Sigh, I don't understand!”
……
Not long after Chu Mengxi left, Li Xia finished cleaning up the kitchen and loaded the fish, prawns, and other aquatic products onto the cart. He was also preparing to set off for the county town.
However, the two little ones were unhappy.
Now, the two little fellows were very attached to Li Xia and insisted on going to the county town with Li Xia.
Li Xia was afraid that he would not be able to take care of the two little fellows when he sold the fish. It would be a safety hazard, so he could not bring them along.
However, the two little fellows grabbed Li Xia's pants and refused to let go.
It wasn't that they were disobedient, but that they couldn't bear to part with Li Xia.
Li Xia had no choice but to put down the things in his hands and start coaxing the baby.
She remembered that the supply and marketing cooperative had bought some double wedding candies yesterday and had not had time to give them to the child.
Now, it was just the right time to coax them.
The two children had never eaten sweets before. When they saw the double wedding candy in Li Xia's hand, their eyes lit up.
The red packaging of the double wedding candy had the word "Xi" printed on it.
Li Xia peeled one for each of them and fed them.
The sweetness filled their taste buds. The two little fellows sucked the candy in their mouths and danced happily.
"Tangtang is so sweet!"
"It's so delicious!"
"Here, Daddy will give you three more candies. You have to be obedient at home and wait for Daddy to come back.”
Li Xia gave the candy to the two little fellows.
The two milk dumplings put the sweets into their pockets and patted their pockets carefully to make sure they wouldn't fall out.
After the temptation of the candy, the two little ones reluctantly let Li Xia go out.
……
It wasn't even seven yet.
Li Xia's handcart had already appeared near the family building, the old place where he had set up his stall yesterday.
This time, Li Xia even prepared a piece of cardboard with the price written on it in black charcoal.
Because it was troublesome and affected the efficiency of selling fish, no matter what species of fish it was, the price was the same.
On the cardboard was written:
" Lowest price in Xianyu County: 78 cents per catty."
There was also a note:
"All wild, honest!"
The words were written very big and could attract people's attention.
Moreover, Li Xia's fish was indeed very good. It was fat and delicious, and the price was cheap.
He had just taken out the scale and before he could start shouting, a few women surrounded him.
Two or three of them had come to buy fish yesterday. Li Xia was familiar with them and they were repeat customers.
"Hey, young man, you're really punctual. Give me a big carp. I want to buy it to make carp soup.”
"Ah! It's you, Big Sister! You're here to buy fish again, old customer. I'll give you a zero later.”
Li Xia reached out and grabbed a carp that weighed about one and a half catties. After the middle-aged woman was satisfied with it, he quickly weighed it.
"Big sister, it's a total of 1.7 taels per catty. The price is 1.3 yuan and 1.2 cents. I'll only charge you 1.3 yuan.”
"Sure, sure, young man. I like your straightforwardness! Come back next time, I'm leaving!
"Okay, big sister, take care!"
It was human nature to be greedy for small gains. Although two cents was not much, as a repeat customer, the middle-aged woman was still very happy that Li Xia had wiped away the two cents.
"Aunt Li, what kind of fish do you want?"
"I think this grass carp is quite fat, but it doesn't seem to be as delicious as the carp…"
"Aunt Li, you're wrong about that. The taste of braised grass carp is much more delicious than carp!”
"Is that so?"
"Look, I sell fish. I'm familiar with fish. I'm clear about what fish tastes good. I won't lie to you. You'll know when you buy it and try it!”
"Alright, I want this grass carp."
"Alright!"
……
Li Xia's mouth was so sweet that it was as if she had smeared honey on it. One moment, she was the big sister, and the next moment, she was the zero. This made the middle-aged women giggle.
And business was getting better and better.
A moment later, the handcart was surrounded by three layers of people.
