Meng Xiaoxing said flatteringly: "Brother Zirui, please, let me take you to our village!" Otherwise, if you go to our village to buy things alone, they will definitely treat you as if you don't know you.

I'll kill you like a fat sheep, and I can help you bargain with me."

Bai Zirui was overjoyed. I can't pay you back for the sample. He pretended to think about it and nodded and said, "Okay! You follow me to my place first. I'll put my things down and get some money, and then we'll set off."

Meng Xiaoxing hurriedly agreed: "Brother Zirui, I will obey your orders."

As she spoke, she quickly jumped on the back seat of the bicycle, and said to Han Chunming: "Brother Wuzi, tell my second aunt for me, and I will go back to the village first."

When Han Chunming saw Bai Zirui successfully sending Meng Xiaoxing away and treating her docilely, Han Chunming gave him a thumbs up with conviction and said silently: "Brother, I have you!"

Bai Zirui looked at his happy look and thought to himself, if you know that I cut off your baby in the future, please don't blame me.

Bai Zirui said hello to him, then took Meng Xiaoxing by bicycle back to the courtyard to put down the local specialties. He took out 1,000 yuan from the room and took her out to get on the bus to the suburbs of Huairou.

Meng Xiaoxing looked very happy when she got on the bus. Every time she and her mother came to her second aunt's house, she always walked. She set off before dawn and took a long time to arrive. Her feet were blistered.

Meng Xiaoxing was overjoyed, but Bai Zirui really couldn't praise the buses of this era. The people in the bus were as crowded as sardine cans, and the road was bumpy and bumpy, and people were tossed around and couldn't live in peace.

The bus stopped and stopped all the way, which made Bai Zirui feel dizzy. Meng Xiaoxing, who was taking the bus for the first time, fainted and lay directly on the window, vomiting so hard that she almost vomited out her gall.

Unable to spit anything out, he lay there half dead.

After finally arriving in Huairou Township, Meng Xiaoxing didn't even have the strength to stand up, so Bai Zirui half-dragged and half-carried her out of the car. Bai Zirui first let her sit alone on the side of the road, and then he ran to the nearby

The canteen bought two bottles of Arctic soda for 20 cents.

Bai Zirui came back to her with the soda and handed her one bottle. He opened another bottle and drank it. Meng Xiaoxing saw that Bai Zirui actually bought her a bottle. It was very luxurious for her.

Soda was very moved and mentally decided that when he was buying something, she would try her best to help him bargain so as not to let him suffer a loss. She opened the soda and drank it in small sips.

Meng Xiaoxing rested for half an hour before she regained her strength. When she was about to walk back to their village with Bai Zirui, she happened to meet an old man from their village who came to the village to finish some work and was driving an ox cart back to the village. Meng Xiaoxing entered

In the first few words, the old man was willing to drive them back to the village.

After the two got on the bullock cart, the old man asked curiously while driving the cart: "Xiao Xing, this young man is the child of your second aunt's family in the city."

Most people in Meng Xiaoxing's village knew that her family had a relative in the city. Every time she returned from her second aunt's house, she often showed off to people in the village.

Meng Xiaoxing introduced: "Uncle, this is not the fifth brother of my second aunt's family. He is my fifth brother's good friend Bai Zirui. I call him brother Zirui."

The uncle was thinking, why did he bring a young man who is not a relative to your house? Could it be that he was introduced to her by Aunt Xiaoxing in the city? The young man came to her house to propose marriage. The uncle looked at it inexplicably.

He glanced at Bai Zirui.

Bai Zirui looked at the way the uncle looked at him and knew that he had misunderstood his relationship with Meng Xiaoxing. He explained patiently: "Uncle, I like old things, so I asked Xiaoxing to take me to your village to see if I can

I received some old items, we can discuss the price."

The uncle asked: "Old items? I have a set of old-fashioned Eight Immortals tables and chairs at home. Do you want to take them?" His son is getting married and is going to get new furniture. He is worried about what to do with the old furniture. Now it is time to put this piece of furniture away.

If I dispose of the old furniture to this young man, I can get some money to help my son get married.

Bai Zirui was overjoyed. It seemed that he had come to the right place today. Someone wanted to sell him the treasure before he even got there. He said calmly: "Sir, okay! I'm just here to collect old things.

Furniture that has aged well can be considered a type of old object. How about we go to your house first and take a look at it. Whether it is the kind of old object I want, how about I accept it for you?"

The old man gave a thumbs up and praised: "Young man is very cheerful and cheerful."

The uncle chatted affectionately with Bai Zirui about the family affairs of the east and west families, and talked about some gossip in their village. Bai Zirui asked him about landlord Liu's personality without leaving any trace.

Talking and laughing all the way, we soon arrived at Mengjiazhuang. After entering the village, the old man drove the ox cart directly to his home. When the old man was not far from his home, he said with a smile: "Zirui, my home is in front of you.

Now, when you get home, let your aunt cook you a bowl of brown sugar water to quench your thirst."

Bai Zirui waved his hand and said: "Uncle, you don't have to be so polite! Just have a bowl of cold water to drink. Let's take a look at your furniture first. After that, I will go to another house to see if I can receive anything. I have to rush back tonight.

!Can’t delay going to work tomorrow.”

Seeing his resolute appearance, the uncle nodded and said, "Okay! I'll listen to you." After that, he speeded up and drove the bullock cart to the tree in front of his house.

Hearing the noise in front of the door, a man and a woman came out of the house. The man was a young man who looked about the same age as Bai Zirui, and the other was a little girl of eleven or twelve years old.

When they saw the uncle driving the bullock cart back, their eyes were filled with joy, and they hurried forward to greet each other: "Dad, you are back! Have everything been done?"

"Dad, have you brought me some delicious food from the countryside?"

The uncle parked the car under the tree. Bai Zirui and Meng Xiaoxing jumped from the car to the ground together. She had completely returned to her previous lively appearance.

After the uncle tied up the cow, he introduced: "This is my useless son and daughter. My girl is very well-behaved but a bit greedy. Every time she asks me to go to the countryside to help her bring back some delicious food!"

Although the uncle had a reproachful tone, the doting look on his daughter was clearly visible in his eyes. Bai Zirui smiled and said: "You are a kid! How can you not be greedy? When I was a kid, I often pestered my dad to let him

Bring me delicious food from the kitchen."

After he finished speaking, he took out a few White Rabbit toffees from his pocket and handed them to the little girl. He said with a smile: "Come on, little girl, brother, let me treat you to some candies."

When the uncle saw it, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Young man, this is impossible! I brought her crystal door nail cakes from the countryside."

The crystal doornail cake that the uncle mentioned is a sweet snack. It is made from leavened dough. When making it, add an appropriate amount of alkaline flour and sugar to the fermented dough and knead it evenly. Spread the white flour flat on paper and steam it in a basket.

Take it out, let it cool, then roll it into a pan, cut it into small dices with pork suet, cut the green and red silk into short strips, wash the melon seeds and raisins with water, knead these raw materials together with white sugar and sugared osmanthus to form a crystal filling.

Then use the fermented dough to roll into round strips, knead it into dough, and press it one by one into round skins with a diameter of 5 cm. Put 30 grams of filling on each round skin, wrap it into a 6.6 cm high and 3.3 cm thick shape, with the top of the top

It is in the shape of a ball, with the mouth facing down. After a few minutes, it is steamed in a basket and is ready. The crystal door nail is white in color, the filling is translucent, soft and oily, sweet and delicious.
