Chapter 367: The little girl under the street lamp
The road conditions are really bad these days. I have to stop and go. There is nothing I can do. There are too many sections of roads that are restricted by road construction.
The average speed of the Yuejin double-cab was probably less than 30 kilometers per hour. There were traffic jams on the road twice, so we entered Sanshui County after 11 o'clock at night.
Of course, Feng Xinhua had to send Huang Han and others home first. At this time, cars could pass through the four main streets in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Sanshui County, especially at night.
It was already half past eleven when the car drove onto South Street and drove near the cinema.
"Master Feng, slow down," said the sharp-eyed Huang Han.
Not far away, under a streetlight, a little girl squatted there crying, with a "rice cover" in front of her.
Huang Xin, Huang Qi, and Huang Han were all looking at the crying little girl silently. At this time, the cinema had already finished the last movie, and there were only a few pedestrians on the street.
The tea eggs in that little girl's "rice cover" may not be sold today. Is she crying because of the possibility of losing money?
The car drove forward slowly, gradually passing the cement telephone pole with a street light installed on it.
"Master Feng, stop the car!" Huang Xin said.
"What's wrong?" Feng Xinhua was a little surprised.
Huang Xin's eyes were obviously wet, she said, "I want to treat everyone to tea eggs!"
Cheng Wenge had the longest legs. He and Qian Aiguo had been sitting in the passenger seat. His seat was close to the door. He realized something and immediately said, "I'll buy it."
Huang Xin said, "Remember, even if it's half a pot, I'll buy it all!"
"I understand what you mean!" Cheng Wenge agreed and ran over.
Qian Aiguo didn't understand and asked, "How can I eat half a pot of tea eggs? I don't feel hungry at all! I don't want to eat them at all."
Huang Han was feeling pity for others. When he heard Qian Aiguo's crazy words, he said angrily, "Give me at least eight. You are not allowed to go home until you finish."
At this time, Xiaoqian squeezed out a smile and leaned his head on Huang Han, saying, "Brother, I feel even happier now."
The emotional Huang Daozhou couldn't bear it any longer. He put his arms around the little girl and Huang Han, and tears fell unconsciously. Huang Xin didn't speak and leaned her head towards Huang Daozhou.
Seeing this, Qian Aiguo remembered the past and obediently shut up.
The little girl, who was not much older than Huang Chuan, saw a car parked not far away and a big man running over. She immediately stopped crying and looked at Chengwen Pavilion with expectant eyes.
“Little girl, are there tea eggs in your ‘rice cover’?”
"Well! It's still warm. My dad just sent the coal stove home. Brother, do you want to buy some?"
"I want everything in the pot, and I'll give you the money! Can you see if it's enough?" Cheng Wenge didn't ask about the quantity, and just paid five yuan and handed it to the little girl.
"You want them all? I just counted seventy-five, don't you think that's too many?"
"It's not too much, I want them all!"
"Hey! Thank you!" The little girl looked like a little girl with a smile on her face, and she continued.
"We usually sell them for five cents each. If you buy seventy-five of them, I'll charge you three and a half cents, okay?"
"No need for change, just five yuan!"
"That won't work!" The little girl was very stubborn and took out two fifty-cent bills and five one-cent bills and handed them to Cheng Wenge.
"I told you there's no need. You can save it to buy popsicles for tomorrow!"
"No, I'm so happy that you bought all these tea eggs. This is the money that should be asked for from you."
Cheng Wenge is also an honest man. He is actually not good at being polite to others. When he saw the little girl dragging him and insisting that he take the change, he had no choice but to take it.
But the next problem is, how to get so many tea eggs?
It was obvious that the little girl had never sold so many tea eggs at one time and was helpless.
Cheng Wenge shouted loudly, "Qian Aiguo is coming down. It's best if everyone comes down. I'm afraid one person will have to get ten tea eggs!"
Hearing Cheng Wenge's shout, the experienced Huang Han said, "Dad, their tea egg business is not easy to do! It's almost twelve o'clock, and there is still half a pot that cannot be sold!"
"Alas! Our tea eggs sell well, and you are the only one who knows how to do business!"
The little girl who had stopped feeling sad said proudly, "Our family only sells a large pot of tea eggs for more than an hour, and it never goes past nine o'clock."
Several people got out of the car and came under the street light. Huang Han said, "Everyone will eat three on the spot, and then take seven or eight more. Little girl, do all the tea eggs in the pot belong to us?"
The little girl under the street lamp didn't blush at all when talking to Cheng Wenge. She was so ashamed when she saw Huang Han. When she saw Huang Jian and Huang Xin clearly, she just wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
What is going on? Alas! It’s not worth mentioning.
Because the little girl knew Huang Han and had a deep memory, she was familiar with Huang Qi and Huang Xin.
Before her father wanted to make some hard money by selling tea eggs, he took her and her sister, who was three years older than her, to secretly watch Huang Han selling tea eggs every day.
Although the little girl was not very old, she knew that his family was following the example of Huang Han's family in doing business, and even pretended to be selling the same things as others in a place where they were familiar with the business.
This is simply "Li Gui" meeting "Li Kui". With the little girl's psychological endurance, there is no way she can bear it. Of course she is so ashamed that she is too embarrassed to raise her head.
Huang Han went straight into the pot to fish out the tea eggs, and said in a sullen voice, "Use chopsticks to fish out the eggs. I'm afraid no one can match my skill. Qian Aiguo, you eat first. Remember, you can't leave until you finish eight!"
"Brother, I was wrong. I didn't realize you were trying to help this little girl just now!"
"It's not too late to know now! Work harder and eat ten!"
Huang Xin took Huang Han's chopsticks and said, "Your ability to catch eggs is not as good as that of a little girl. Why are you bragging?"
The little girl chuckled and said, "That's right, when our family sells tea eggs, you are the one who shouts and sings, catches the eggs, and my sister and I do most of the collecting."
"Okay, I'm not as good as you in catching eggs, let's compete in eating eggs!"
"Hehe, you can't beat Cheng Wenge when it comes to eating eggs. I guess he can swallow two in one bite!"
Cheng Wenge, who was swallowing eggs, almost choked when he heard this.
It was past eleven o'clock, and Huang Han was already hungry. He peeled off a tea egg and took a bite. The tea egg was boiled and fragrant.
"Oh! Their tea eggs taste great! They are no worse than mine. How come they are still selling so many in the middle of the night?"
At this time, Qian Aiguo had already swallowed one. He clicked his lips and said, "It's delicious, brother. I think I can atone for my sins by eating ten of them."
"I'm kidding you, just eat as much as you like. There's no mission and there's no need to force it. Just remember not to hold on."
At this time, Huang Daozhou and Feng Xinhua also squatted down. After eating one, they both praised it endlessly.
Seeing customers praising the deliciousness of her tea eggs, the little girl felt so happy that she finally stopped being shy and raised her head to look at Huang Han with big eyes.
The little girl's eyes are actually not too big, but because she is too thin, they appear to be very big, almost the same as Xiaoqian's before.
