Early the next morning, Pei Xiu collected all the vegetables except sweet potatoes and potatoes, and cut all the leeks again. She put all the vegetables in bamboo baskets and covered them with quilts, which froze on the way to the province. The frozen fish balls were also placed in a wooden tub, cushioned with a white cloth, and the door was covered with a layer.

Zhou Cheng went to his eldest brother's house to borrow a scooter, and his mother happened to be there, frowning and thinking: ''Why do you want to borrow a scooter again, where are you going, there is so much snow on the road. Still pushing the scooter, how many things do you plan to buy back, the prodigal women used to be quite good at home, but now their hands are so loose, didn’t you just buy all the leftover fish home a few days ago? It's not enough for her to eat, why do you have to push a scooter to buy it. ''

''Mother, I asked Pei Xiu to buy that fish a few days ago. There are many children in the family, so where can I get enough to eat. I took the scooter to take vegetables to sell in the town, and I will ask Pei Xiu to bring it to you later. '' Zhou Cheng pushed the scooter and walked while pushing. His mother is still asking what dishes are there, how can there be dishes at this time.

Zhou Cheng pushed the cart back, told Pei Xiu to bring some bean sprouts to his eldest and second brother's house, and put the vegetables and fish balls into the cart. Before anyone went out in the morning, he pushed them out of the village first. It snowed from time to time for two days, everyone didn't like to come out of the house, and it was so cold that his hands were freezing when pushing the cart.

Fortunately, his daughter-in-law was not allowed to follow him. It was so cold and the road was still covered with snow. He didn't go far, his shoes were wet, and his feet were freezing. The two pairs of shoes on his body were not enough to change, so stick to it first. Let her not go back to her parents' house tomorrow. He will go back for her. Don't freeze her in this weather.

Zhou Cheng took half the time to get to the town than usual. The shopkeeper of Zuixiang Building was overjoyed when he saw Zhou Cheng pushing the trolley. He entertained him with great enthusiasm and kept his eyes fixed on the trolley. "Lord Wednesday, you trolley. What good stuff is there. ''

Zhou Cheng has given him too many surprises recently, and he is looking forward to seeing Zhou Cheng now.

'' The shopkeeper first asked Xiao Er to remove the two baskets on my trolley, and let's go in and talk. ''

The younger brother hurried to move. There are customers in the hall these days. He put two baskets in the backyard. Because of the bean sprouts, there have been more people eating in the store recently, and some customers have asked to buy raw food. The silver needle dish was taken away, and the second brother didn't have to worry about not having any guests. The shopkeeper wanted to dismiss him, and he was also extremely attentive and thoughtful to Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng lifted the quilt, and the green basket almost burst out the eyes of the shopkeeper and the younger brother.

The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes with a smile, stroked his beard and said, ''It's still Master Zhou who has the ability, now that there are such fresh vegetables in this weather, the old man admires it. On Wednesday, my father gave up. ''

'' The shopkeeper was joking, Zhou was just a martial artist, or he could be said to be a farmer, a hunter, and the shopkeeper looked at it highly. '' Zhou Cheng shook his head and said.

'' On Wednesday, Master is modest. Our boss has repeatedly recruited the third master several times, which shows that the third master is very capable, and we hope that the third master will think about it. ’’ The shopkeeper said sincerely, since Zhou Cheng came back ten years ago, he has been dealing with him, and he can be considered as a person. Knowing that he persuaded is also a white persuasion.

Zhou Cheng raised his palm, indicating that the shopkeeper did not need to say more, ''The shopkeeper still helped me estimate the price of this basket of vegetables, and plan to charge how much. ''

''Okay, okay, we've known each other for so many years, I'll make you satisfied. Is the other one also a vegetable? You open the other basket and let me see. ’’ The shopkeeper is also knowledgeable and knows that there are some things that don’t need to be said.

Zhou Cheng didn't even bother, and opened it directly. The shopkeeper was a little puzzled, what is this, he grabbed one, it was hard and frozen, and the younger brother also followed along curiously, ''This round one is like a ball, can I eat it? Some are big and some are small. ''

'' These are fish balls, the big ones are filled with stuffing, the small ones have no stuffing. The shopkeeper took a few and let the kitchen cook a bowl, and put some parsley and chopped green onion. Give it a try, and then we'll talk more about it. ''

The shopkeeper nodded, listening to the name, this should be made of fish, and he was also a little curious about how the soft meat of the fish was made.

Wait for him to take a bite,

The soft and soft taste immediately conquered him. There was no fishy smell at all, and the taste buds still had the deliciousness of fish, which was different from the directly cooked fish.

He tried another fish ball with Baoxin, different types, but the taste surprised him at the same time. It is mixed with minced meat, two different ways of eating, this one has a richer taste.

The shopkeeper is no longer in a hurry to talk about things. He first tastes the delicious food in front of him, and he will wait until he finishes eating.

The shopkeeper was not in a hurry, and Zhou Cheng was even less in a hurry, drinking tea slowly.

''Master Wednesday, you see that it is snowing heavily this winter, the river is frozen, and this fish is rare. If you can use it to make fish balls, you will get a lot of fish. Fresh live fish is still available. '' the shopkeeper asked with a smile.

'' The shopkeeper laughed. In this world of ice and snow, where there are still a lot of fish, it would be good to get a few. Except for one or two that we kept at home, we used the rest to make fish balls, and they are all here again. This one will not spoil if it is frozen. '' Zhou Chengcai didn't fall for him. If there were too many live fish, fish balls would not be uncommon.

The shopkeeper was not embarrassed, and said with a smile: ''That's fine, these stores have accepted them, and they are all weighed at ten cents per pound, and twenty-five cents per pound of fish balls. Are there any vegetables? If there are any, please send them to the third master. The same goes for fish balls, as many as you want, and live fish. ''

''Okay, if there is any, I will send it over. '' Zhou Cheng nodded, planning to visit his uncle's brother's house tomorrow and take the things that his daughter-in-law was going to give. If the vegetables on his side can be picked, he will let them pick them and deliver them. Taking advantage of this time to sell a sum is also an income.

The shopkeeper actually wanted the recipe for fish balls, but if there was any fish at this time, the recipe was useless. Besides, before, the silver needle dish was so easy to send out, this time he wanted his cook to study it. , I'm not in a hurry, I can wait until the open spring river melts.

Satisfied, he sent Zhou Cheng away, thinking about the price of these two dishes. Recently, there is a silver needle dish, and the business in the store has improved a lot. Except that at the beginning, I sent some to various houses to let me know that there are new dishes. Now it is only sold in restaurants.

Zhou Cheng got three taels of silver and was very satisfied. He planned to stop buying pork today and buy some mutton to warm up his body and supplement it in winter.

Pei Xiu sent Zhou Cheng away, looking at the sun, and planning to sweep the snow off the door, otherwise it would be easy to slip.

Zhou Yi brought his grandmother to the door, and Pei Xiu was not surprised. The fish balls and silver needle dishes that he brought back yesterday were rare things, they should have never eaten them, and she was not surprised that they would come here today. middle.

''Third aunt, my grandmother asked me to return the basket. She wanted to go out for a walk, so I asked her to come with me. '' Zhou Yi has become more sensible and mature recently.
