Chapter 24 Vinegar

Vendors were hawking on the street, and Yang Xu, like Tianbao, was looking around. This scene had only been seen in costume dramas.

But Yang Xu didn't understand why there were so many people, it was just a small town!

Wang Dayi also explained to her that there are many people in the town, and because this is the only town around, people from the surrounding villages will come to the town to buy things.

Yang Xu thought that maybe because of the terrain, this town and dozens of surrounding villages, leaning against the mountains, felt a bit isolated from the world.

There was a candy seller on the street, the kind of flakes made after dried syrup, which cost a penny each. There were many children around, and the business was quite good. Wang Dayi went over and bought one for Yang Xu and Tianbao.

Yang Xu held the candy man and couldn't laugh or cry. This man pampered her like a child!

Yang Xu took a small bite, wow, it's so sweet.

"Brother Dayi, take a bite." Yang Xu held the candy man up to Wang Dayi's mouth.

"I, I don't want to eat, please eat quickly."

Wang Dayi's face turned red. Why did Xu'er feed him something? Although he really wanted to take a bite, he was embarrassed.

"Brother Dayi dislikes me? My hands are sore, hurry up!"

Wang Dayi had no choice but to take a small bite. He doesn't like sweets very much, but this tastes really good, very sweet, and it's sweet to the heart.

The two behaved in an intimate manner as if no one was around. Tianbao looked at the candy man in his hand and was very confused. Would it be more delicious if they were shared?

But seeing that the candy on my hand was almost finished, and had melted a little, so it didn’t look very good, so I decided not to let my sister eat it! It would be bad if my sister disliked it.

Yang Xu was thinking, why is the sugar-coated haws of sugar-coated haws that appears most often in costume dramas not sold?

"Brother Dayi, have you ever seen hawthorn delicacies in town, covered with syrup and strung together with bamboo skewers?"

"No. Do you want to eat hawthorn? That one is too sour. There are hawthorn trees on the mountain, but it is too sour. If you want to eat it, let's buy hawthorn cake. That one is more delicious."

"There are hawthorn trees on the mountain? Brother Dayi, please take me to have a look tomorrow! I thought of a delicious snack, and I will make it at home later."

"good."

Yang Xu thought, if there is no one selling candied haws on the street, then he can make some by himself, make more and sell them on the street, and he can still make some money!

There are some on Hawthorn Tree Mountain, so go buy some candies yourself!

Yang Xu planned to go to the place selling salt first, buy some sugar and salt, and then see if there were other condiments.

The result was really disappointing, not even simple vinegar and soy sauce.

"I wonder what the girl wants to buy?"

"Excuse me, is there something sour and sour that can be put in vegetables? There is also something a little bright and dark that can be put in vegetables to add color." Yang Xu tried his best to describe it. Maybe there is something for sale, but he

Don’t know!

"The shop has been open for many years, but I haven't heard what the girl said."

Sour? Why do good dishes have to be sour? And the black ones, dark dishes don’t look good either!

The shopkeeper shook his head inwardly, she is really a strange girl.

"Okay, thank you shopkeeper, then I'll buy two catties of sugar and two catties of salt."

"Okay!"

Yang Xu was greatly disappointed. There was no soy sauce or vinegar, and she couldn't make many delicious dishes!

But after looking here for a long time and not bothering anyone, let’s buy something! Anyway, salt and sugar are needed at home.

Yang Xu thought for a long time that soy sauce was made from beans, but he found that no one in the village grew beans. Therefore, there was no soy sauce, not even the sauce he loved.

Vinegar is made from grain, eh? Yes, there must be a wine shop in the town, and there must be a place where people make wine, because wine making cannot be foolproof, and if it makes it sour, then it is the simplest vinegar!

"Brother Dayi, where is the liquor store in town?"

"Sister, do you want to buy wine? But wine is not a good thing."

When Tianbao heard that Yang Xu was going to a place where he sells alcohol, he became anxious. His sister would not buy a bar for his brother-in-law!

However, when you are drunk, you will beat people! This is the case with Dahua’s father in the village. When he is drunk, he will beat Dahua and her mother!

"What are you thinking about? I'm going to see if there's that sour vinegar, and I'll buy it and make delicious food for you instead of buying wine."

Yang Xu couldn't laugh or cry, what was this kid thinking?

"Yes, it's right in front."

"Sir, would you like to have a drink?"

The waiter treated me politely, but this combination was quite strange, and few women came to buy drinks.

"I want to ask if any of your home brews are spoiled! I want to buy the spoiled one."

Yang Xu went straight to the point. This wine shop is quite big and makes a lot of wine. There should be some spoiled wine!

"Hey, you are such a strange person. You don't want good wine, you want broken wine. You don't buy broken wine and then deliberately find trouble!"

The waiter looked at Yang Xu warily.

"I'm worried, I won't hide it from you. I heard that spoiled wine will turn sour. I actually want to use it for cooking. I have a special taste and I like sour food." Yang Xu said with a smile.

.

"So that's it! Then you wait here and I'll ask the shopkeeper."

The waiter scratched his head and walked back. Why do some people like to eat sour vegetables? How strange.

The shopkeeper of the wine shop is a fat middle-aged man who looks quite amiable.

"Are you going to buy sour wine?"

"Yes, I want to buy some for cooking. I wonder if the shopkeeper still has some."

"Yes, yes, we will throw away the sour wine, and the grain left behind will be sold to others at a low price to feed pigs and horses. How much do you want?"

The shopkeeper also looked at Yang Xu with strange eyes.

"I want a small jar. I didn't bring anything with me this time. If it's convenient for the shopkeeper, he can sell it to us together with the jar!"

"Okay. The sour wine is not expensive, only five cents, and the jar costs two cents."

Yang Xu agreed. The jar itself cost three cents, and the sour wine was also made from grain, so five cents was not expensive.

Yang Xu thanked the shopkeeper, paid the money, and Wang Dayi left with the jar in his arms.

Yang Xu remembered that it was not a good idea to teach Tianbao how to read, so he planned to go to the bookstore to buy a few enlightenment books. It would be better to buy some pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and he could not let Tianbao write and draw on the ground all the time.

Yang Xu felt that Tianbao must go to a private school. She had to let Tianbao study. Moreover, Tianbao was eight years old and it was time for him to go to school.

There are no private schools in the village, only in the town, but the distance is far. Tianbao, a child, cannot do it at all.

Yang Xu wanted to move to the town. It was okay to live with Wang Dayi on the mountain, but Tianbao couldn't remain a child. He needed playmates. And if he had children in the future, he wouldn't be able to live in the mountain forever.

One of my own relied on Wang Dayi for hunting. Although he did not starve, hunting was too dangerous. There were wolves and some birds of prey on the mountain. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger.

Moreover, hunting is full of uncertainties. There are no prey in the mountains in winter. Sometimes if you are unlucky, you may not be able to hunt. You cannot hunt on windy or rainy days.
