Chapter 79： Rice Balls

After walking down the mountain road for more than an hour, it took another half an hour to reach Tang Laifeng's house. On the way, I saw an aunt who was selling breakfast.

"Do you want glutinous rice balls? One for a dime, no food stamps." An aunt pushed a cart and asked them in a low voice, looking around from time to time, just like doing underground work.

"Will I get caught if I buy this? I dare not buy it." Huo Jinzhi deliberately pretended to be afraid.

Now this auntie dares to sell breakfast in broad daylight, it really feels a lot looser than before.

"Don't worry, if you don't arrest people who buy things, I was arrested once last month and released after a fine of money. Now it's more relaxed than before. I heard that after a while, the state will allow the stalls. Good days are coming soon!"

The aunt smiled and said that although she was still cautious, she was obviously more daring than before, and she added: "My glutinous rice **** are delicious, the dried plums and vegetables are fragrant, and the fried dough sticks are solid, one is enough, little brother comes one. Bar."

"Four here, it's more than enough."

Huo Jinzhi took out four cents from his pocket, and Tang Xiaonan hurriedly said, "I won't eat it."

She was afraid that Huo Jinzhi would be so poor that she couldn't even get enough to eat. It was obvious that the Huo family had no money, and four cents was not cheap.

Tang Laijin was going to pay, but he was not too uncommon to ask a poor child for a treat. He still had a few cents. Huo Jinzhi acted very quickly and had already paid the money. He said to Tang Xiaonan, "I have money."

He is really rich. Before his father left, he gave Tang Baishan 500 yuan, and left him 500 yuan, as well as 500 catties of national food stamps. He rarely had the opportunity to spend it, and he even dared not spend it in the village.

An orphan, a widow and a mother with huge sums of money, is still a great beauty, just like a piece of raw meat dripping with blood, it will attract countless beasts, and he can't resist it at all.

So, he would rather starve than spend money, starve a few times without starving to death, but if the huge sum of money is exposed, he and his mother are afraid that they will not be able to survive.

"The money from Grandpa Qi." Huo Jinzhi explained again.

Tang Laijin took the money back. The old man Qi heard that he used to drink foreign ink from a foreign country, so it's normal to have some money on him.

The aunt accepted the money with a smile, took a clean white cloth, scooped some glutinous rice on the cloth, added some dried plum vegetables steamed with lard and white sugar, and put half a fritter on top of the sticky rice. , gathered the white cloth and squeezed hard, a hard, soft and glutinous rice ball was made, and then wrapped it with a piece of dry lotus leaf and gave it to Huo Jinzhi.

The weight is indeed sufficient, one can hold up to a round belly.

Huo Jinzhi chatted with her while she was making rice balls. It seemed casual, but in fact every sentence had a deep meaning.

"I heard that there are people here who sell postcards at the entrance of the cinema to make a lot of money, is that true?"

"Who knows, but there is a woman in the alley of my house who is selling. She is very smart. She doesn't sell herself. She finds a few children to help her sell it. When the time comes, just give the children a few cents for wages. That woman can't make enough money. Young Master, I only added a 17-inch TV to the house in half a year, and I still had my relatives bring it back from Songcheng."

The aunt looked envious. Although she made some money selling rice balls, she was not at the point where she could buy a TV set, but she didn't have the skills, and she didn't have such big ambitions.
