Chapter 20
Clearly only ten years old, right, Yan Shao little comrade walks with his hands behind his back, like a little old man, all old and mature
Lin Minjun can’t help but laugh when she sees this pretense of calmness, and doesn’t say anything, quietly walking behind Erwa
When he walked to the hanging flower gate, Erwa, who had been particularly calm, suddenly looked back at Lin Minjun, then bounced a bit with particularly small movements, then regained his calmness and continued to walk forward
As he got closer and closer to Lin Minjun’s house, Erwa’s footsteps became slower and slower, and every now and then he would turn back and bounce a little more
This showed that he was calm on the outside, but he was still happy in his heart, right? Otherwise why would he walk and bounce
Lin Minjun wanted to tease him, knowing that Eva had something to say to herself, but after holding it all the way, she froze and didn’t ask
Walking to the door of Lin Minjun’s house, she smelled a strong aroma, suddenly remembered that the rice noodle soup is still stewing on the coal stove, and hurriedly went over to open the lid of the pot
The good thing is that the fire is not too big, and Lin Minjun also put in the soup inside the pig’s feet cut in half, at this time the pig’s feet stewed soft and rotten, poke, the top of the pig’s skin along with the hoof tendons in the wobbling, flooded with crystalline oil, just looking at it, people can not help but mouth drooling
This kind of stewed to soft pig’s feet, with dipping water, Lin Minjun can eat two in one breath, she did not worry about food and clothing in her last life, her mouth can be picky, and now has not changed over, today went to the market to see cheap pig’s feet for sale, and simply bought one
And at this time, Erwa also did a good job of psychological construction, stood in the kitchen doorway and said to Lin Minjun, “You’re the first person to believe me ooh”
“Really? No one in the yard believes you?” Lin Minjun didn’t think it was a big deal, it was just a matter of lifting her hand, she was holding a spoon to scoop up the pig’s feet at the moment, and casually asked, “Auntie Xu doesn’t believe you either?”
Erwa skimmed her mouth, “A long, long time ago, someone stole something and relied on me, and over time everyone thought that I was a thief and loved to steal and beat people Grandma Xu is very nice to me, but she doesn’t talk much to me, and when she does talk occasionally, she’s just advising me not to steal and not to hit other people’s children”
So this kid is actually lonely, right?
He owns a large courtyard house within the second ring road, and in the future, as long as he doesn’t lose money, he will easily be worth hundreds of millions of dollars
But there was actually no one who was willing to sit down and listen to him properly since he was a child
Erwa touched his eyes, “Thank you for today, I’ll go home first”
The words just fell, suddenly his stomach grumbled, Erwa’s face flushed red, “I’ll go home to eat!”
“You can barely even reach the stove, where can you have food at home?” Lin Minjun smiled and beckoned, and was about to ask him to eat with her
Unexpectedly, Erwa grabbed the opportunity to speak first, “Then can I eat at your house? I’ll pay for it!”
He said as he fished out the forty cents from his pocket that sister-in-law Xia had just compensated him for and handed it over
“No, count it as my treat” Lin Minjun said
She has finished cooking the rice noodles, soaked rice noodles scalded and cooked, and then put in the meat bashful boiled soup, sprinkle a handful of leeks before leaving the pot, that flavor all of a sudden scurry up, next door a few families have run out to smell the aroma
Erwa is still insisting on paying, “I have to pay”
“Then you come in first, and so on the whole yard to smell the fragrance, come in first to eat” Lin Minjun put the pot on one end and walked into the small room
After going in, Erwa still wanted to pay, Lin Minjun couldn’t stand him and collected 20 cents, “You’re younger than me, you can’t eat much”
A pot of broken crispy buns, two bowls of rice noodles, steaming, outside the wind whistling, but also do not feel cold
Lin Minjun picked a chopstick of rice noodles and said casually, “Last time you gave 20 cents, this time you gave 20 cents again, you can’t be so generous with your money”
“Doesn’t matter, anyway, once the fifth of the month passes, I go hungry” Erwa bites into a broken pastry bag and says calmly
Lin Minjun: “What do you mean? The rent for such a big house isn’t enough for you to eat?”
Speaking of this, she thought of something else, quite curious, “Last time I paid the rent, I wanted to ask, Auntie Xu said that you are the owner of the yard, so why is the rent given to the street office, not to yourself?”
Broken pastry bag to Erwa bite open a mouth, to the outside continuously bubbling hot air, Wa anxious to swallow, while eating also while explaining, “My parents left very early, when I was young, the people in the housing management office let the factory rent directly to the street office, according to the monthly living expenses to me, and so I grew up to eighteen years of age and then saved together to give me ”
“This idea is quite good, as a matter of fact the living expenses given to you by the street office is also enough to spend, how come you are hungry as soon as you pass the fifth?” Seeing that he was really in a hurry to eat, Lin Minjun picked some more rice noodles for the side to cool
Erwa’s mouth was faster than his brain, “Because as soon as the living expenses are paid out every month, they are ”
Halfway through his sentence he reacted and immediately shut up, taking a big bite of the bun
Lin Minjun realized something was wrong, “Being what? Snatched by someone? Or stolen?”
Erwa, however, shook his head, refused to say anymore, finished the remaining rice noodles in a few bites and prepared to go home, before walking out of the small room but asked again, “You want to set up a stall to sell yams, when will you open?”
“I guess the sixth, what?”
Smashing the flavor in his mouth, Erwa said, “Then I’ll give you my living expenses on the fifth of every month, and every day you’ll give me a bowl of fried yams, okay? That money can’t stay on me anyway”
“No way” Lin Minjun opened her mouth to refuse
Erwa’s movements froze for a moment, he didn’t even have the courage to ask why, after all, his reputation was really bad in the neighborhood
But just as Erwa was about to leave, Lin Minjun added, “Eating yams every day is not nutritious enough and it’s still fried, you’ll turn into a pimple-faced chubby little man who only grows fat and doesn’t grow, do you want to become like that?”
“Don’t want to” Erwa blurted out a sentence, his expression so horrified, after thinking about it he added, “Then how about this, I’ll give money every month, and you bring me a portion when you eat”
Lin Minjun did not turn the corner for a moment, “But I only sell fried yams”
Ten-year-old Erwa silently glanced at Lin Minjun, that the eyes are actually full of hate, “You yourself have to eat, cooking time to do more than one on the good, selling fried potatoes to make money, selling rice is not also making money, how to earn the important?”
Now ten-year-old children are so precocious, so smart?
Lin Minjun: “Good, ugly words before, I eat what you eat, I’m not every day big fish and meat, or every day to eat pig’s trotters, sometimes a month can not eat a time”
“It’s a deal” Erwa waved his hand, just wanted to bounce away, suddenly remembered something, and walked away with his hands behind his back like a little old man
Waiting for that bouncing footsteps to go far away, Lin Minjun remembered that kind of hateful look in Erwa’s eyes just now, and couldn’t help but let out a puff of laughter
Since there were customers one after another, the matter of opening the business should be put on the agenda
Lin Minjun customized tricycle good, December 6 this afternoon, Lin Minjun fried yam stall up
She rented a good house, the location is particularly convenient, there is a nearby Xiu Shui East Street, from morning to night, especially many people, Lin Minjun tricycle ride to the street, to the one set up, coming and going people can see
Now Xiu Shui East Street is not the famous fake goods street in later life, now the street sells almost all daily necessities, clothing, all kinds of things, the whole Si Jiucheng as long as they have time to be willing to come here to shop a little bit, it is said that now this time, as long as the owner of the stalls inside can hold out to the end of the all got rich
Lin Minjun is not red inside the pomp and circumstance, lit the stove after the first peeled potatoes, this thing has to get now, otherwise the surface of the potatoes will soon oxidize and blacken, it does not look good
The taro is cut into pieces to soak it, an older woman stopped to ask, “girl, you are selling potatoes ah?”
“Selling fried potatoes, fried potatoes mixed with seasoning, very tasty” Lin Minjun put down the chopper and got up, fiddling with the fried potatoes in the basin, so that she could hear the sound of the crunchy shells colliding together
Just after the planned economy era, everyone’s desire for oil and fat was engraved in their bones, and Auntie really inhaled deeply, “How do you sell it?”
“Ten cents a serving” Lin Minjun hadn’t finished her sentence yet, and just by hearing the ten cents, the big mom lifted her foot and left
The first day of opening was a few people, but they are all around the neighborhood, before eating fried potatoes think the taste is very good, the second time to patronize
Later Lin Minjun learned smart, began to reduce the price, six cents a share, the portion is also reduced, only half of the original, this time the business is a little better
The first day of the taro sold not much, the next day when the stall, Lin Minjun first fried a pot of taro for everyone to watch, and so someone smelled the flavor over, and then re-fried, pour seasoning
So the business is really a lot better, to buy almost all young people, before going in to eat a bowl of fried potatoes to fill their stomachs, turn the eye of the kung fu Lin Minjun prepared potatoes on the sold out
Today is not only good business, but also came several together back to the capital of the youth friends, heard Lin Minjun own business are running over to support the scene
Toward seven or eight o’clock, Xiu Shui East Street, no one shopped, the street lamps on the road also lit up, Lin Minjun is ready to close the stall when Han Xiaorui came, “Comrade, want a fried taro, more spicy, I love to eat”
“Good, you wait a moment, I now fried” Lin Minjun answered the voice when still thinking in his heart, this voice is a little familiar, the request how also so familiar
Looking up, “Han Xiaorui! Why are you here?”
In front of the tricycle stood a pretty girl, not exactly Han Xiaorui
Han Xiaorui: “You opened today, how can I not come to support the scene”
“Zhao Ning, you two are not very close, why not come together ah” With a stabbing sound, it was Lin Minjun who put the yams in the frying pan
Sighed, Han Xiaorui has a thousand words do not know where to start, “Alas, do not mention it, Zhao Ning is now annoying it, and so back to the two of you to meet and then say it”
“What’s going on, did she say she would come to me in a few days?” Lin Minjun was a bit puzzled
Han Xiaorui put on a smile again, ambiguously winking towards Lin Minjun, “That’s not true, it’s Luo Lin who called everyone to have dinner together, specially called you Oh, it’s at the Protectorate Hotel, Zhao Ning will be there too”
“What’s wrong with you? Trachoma? How the eyes look not so good” Lin Minjun was particularly uncomprehending and asked with concern
“Forget it, anyway, you remember to go to the Protectorate Hotel on the night of the fifteenth, everyone is there, don’t forget?” Receiving the steaming hot fried yam, threw a piece into her mouth, Han Xiaorui smiled and left
Lin Minjun then closed the stall, riding a tricycle in the direction of home, all the way walking all the way to think, Luo Lin organized a party, Lu Deping should also go right?
She didn’t want to see Lu Deping, but on second thought, the person who reported himself last time hasn’t been found yet, maybe among the youths, maybe Lu Deping, this time over, maybe we can pull out this villain who is tripping people in the dark?
