Chapter 1172 The tough-talking Old Man Cao (40008000)(2/2)
He had five packs of cigarettes on him when he came out of the house, and now only the last pack was left.
Arriving at the foot of the mountain, Cao Shuxu was about to go up when he suddenly saw Cao Shujie and his father, Cao Jianguo, setting up a stall at the foot of the mountain.
He thought he had seen it wrong, but when he took a closer look, he saw bread, milk and eight-treasure porridge in bowls sold at the stall. He felt puzzled and walked over to say hello to Cao Jianguo, and handed Cao Jianguo a cigarette: "Uncle Guo,
Why are you still setting up a stall?"
Unexpectedly, Cao Jianguo turned his head and glanced at the door of his home furtively, but did not see his wife. Then he took the cigarette from Cao Shuxu's hand: "Shuxu, when did you come back?"
Seeing him like this, Cao Shuxu didn't know that Cao Jianguo was hiding and smoking.
He smiled and said to Cao Jianguo: "Uncle Guo, I just came back. It just so happens that my wife wants to go to the mountain to pick some apples to eat."
"Just pick them. The apples are just ripe. This year's apples are sweeter than in previous years." Cao Jianguo chatted with him.
Cao Jianguo also told him: "Shujie went to town today, and he will have to wait for a while before returning."
Cao Shuxu waved his hand: "Uncle Guo, I'm not looking for Shujie."
"Where are your wife and children?" Cao Jianguo said, took a bag, opened the mouth of the bag, put a few breads inside, and then put a few boxes of pure milk.
He then handed it to Cao Shuxu: "We made this bread ourselves, take it and try it."
Cao Shuxu still wanted to refuse, but Cao Jianguo stared at him: "If you don't take it, don't call me uncle."
What else can Cao Shuxu do?
He reached out to take it and said thank you several times.
"Just take it and eat it. I converted the old house into a bakery. We make it all ourselves. It's very clean. I'll dispose of the unsold bread at a cheap price that day." Cao Jianguo told him.
Indeed, the bread from Cao Jianguo's place is very popular now, and some people come to visit. Before leaving, they bought a few more breads from Cao Jianguo's place and took them back to eat.
Unlike other bakeries, Cao Jianguo's ingredients are not messy and the taste is quite good. Everyone likes it.
Some people say that when visiting Caojiazhuang, you must buy some fruits from Mengmeng Orchard. If you cannot buy fruits from Mengmeng Orchard, you must buy bread at the foot of the mountain.
This is talking about the bread sold by Cao Jianguo at his stall.
"Uncle Guo, I'll go up first and come back to you later." Cao Shuxu said to Cao Jianguo.
Cao Jianguo waved his hand and asked him to go about his business.
At this time, there were still many tourists who came to visit and were queuing up in front of the stall to buy his bread.
Cao Jianguo is also very busy.
After seeing Cao Shuxu off, Cao Jianguo sold another box of bread. Suddenly, he heard someone behind him ask: "Old Cao, are you smoking?"
It was the voice of his wife Wang Yuelan.
Cao Jianguo said subconsciously: "No, who smokes? Who smokes?"
That way seems to say that I will fight with anyone who dares to smoke.
But Wang Yuelan could clearly smell the smell of cigarette smoke on her husband, but she was too lazy to expose him.
"Who were you chatting with just now?" Wang Yuelan asked.
When Cao Jianguo mentioned Cao Shuxu, Wang Yuelan immediately responded.
She also asked her husband: "Did Shuxu come to see Shujie?"
Cao Jianguo shook his head, pointed to the mountain and said to his wife: "Shu Xu is coming back with his wife and children to pick apples on the mountain."
Wang Yuelan didn't ask any more questions after listening.
Before leaving, she said again: "Lao Cao, don't count at all. You still have children at home. Why do you smoke?"
"How could I smoke? Did you see me smoking?" Cao Jianguo was unconvinced and shouted loudly.
Wang Yuelan said casually: "I don't even want to expose you, but look at the smoke on your fingers and they have turned yellow."
"Impossible, I just smoked one, how could..."
He also wanted to talk about how a cigarette would turn yellow after smoking it, but before he finished speaking, he knew he had been fooled. ()
