Chapter 263 Old Men in the Park
This time the face was simply treated and looks a bit rough.
Still looking like that country girl, Gu Yao in the mirror had a shrewd look in her eyes.
She looked outside from the screen. There was no one around and no one would see her, so she walked out.
She finds her current look funny even to herself, but it's much more pleasing to the eye than her previous outfit.
As a young rural wife who has made money, it is normal for her to make some money and dress herself up.
It looks better, which is normal.
Gu Yao appeared again among the crowd of spectators playing Lala Niu.
But the old man Qian, who loved to show off, was cracking his whip while looking at the crowd and talking to the old man next to him.
Gu Yao discovered that the people playing here were similar to the ones last time, and they should all be residents nearby.
He is also the old man's frequent playmate.
Old man Qian was showing off his Lala cow, swinging it with a crackling sound, while looking at the people in the crowd.
When he saw Gu Yao's position, his eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded towards Gu Yao.
Only then did Gu Yao confirm that the old man had seen her.
The old man continued to whip a few times slowly, and said to the old man playing next to him that he was going to the toilet and asked them to play first.
Seeing that the old man had stopped playing, Gu Yao took the initiative to walk towards his house.
Old Man Qian followed behind.
When they reached the edge of the park, Gu Yao stopped and waited for Old Man Qian to see what he would say.
After Old Man Qian caught up, he stood in front of Gu Yao and said, "I'll go home first, you follow me from behind."
Gu Yao said "hmm".
It seems like everything is going really well.
When Old Man Qian arrived home, he pushed open the door and walked in.
The door is not closed.
Gu Yao looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she walked in.
I closed the door for you.
"Hey, Xiao Gu, come in quickly," Old Man Qian said in a warm tone.
The old lady from Old Man Qian's family also came out of the house with a smile on her face: "Xiao Gu, come in, drink some water and take a rest."
"Well, auntie, uncle, I just came to see if you have sold all the grain." Gu Yao's smiling face looked very simple and honest.
"Xiao Gu, your rice and flour sell very well. My children's family and friends' families all eat your rice. Look, the rice is in great demand and we gave it away before the New Year," said old man Qian with a smile.
"Well, your food is delicious. We are reluctant to give it all away. We still have several hundred kilograms left, enough for my husband and I to eat. Now that you are here, do you have anything delicious to eat?" The old lady looked at Gu Yao with anticipation.
The same is true for Old Man Qian.
They are retired now and both have pensions. They don't have much to do and just like to eat something.
Their lives are pretty good.
The food is rationed, and it is true that we don’t have to worry about food and drink, but it is indeed difficult to find something delicious to eat.
"Well, we don't have this rice anymore. All the grain that could be sold before the New Year has been sold. You won't be able to find such a delicious variety no matter where you go," Gu Yao said with a smile.
The old man and the old woman were confused. You are here, aren't you here to bring good things? What are you here for?
Although it is the fifteenth day of the lunar month now, the weather is still very cold and many foods are in short supply.
Now, apart from dry food, they basically only have various stews or dried vegetables and pickles.
Eat cabbage and potatoes like this.
Old man Qian blinked his big eyes in confusion and asked: "The stuff is very good. If you still have it, you can buy it at a higher price. The rice is really delicious. Even your white flour is better than the steamed buns made from the supply and marketing cooperative. If you have these staple foods, it would be best if you could sell them to me. If you have anything else now, as long as it is food, I can help you sell it."
He has been working in sales since the Republic of China period and has been doing so until his retirement. Good things don't have trouble selling, the only problem is getting good quality goods.
Now that the business environment has disappeared, any transaction must go through the country. He is now doing some small business privately, and as long as he keeps it secret, no one will know.
There is still a black market out there. If he has something, he will never trade it on the black market.
It is easy to be targeted or reported on the black market, which is not worth the risk.
However, there are a lot of retail traders in the black market, but it is not suitable for an old man like him to trade.
She would occasionally go for a walk and if she came across something she needed, she would buy it. If she didn't find anything, she would just walk around.
"We grew some vegetables before the New Year. If you want, I can get some for you. It's lettuce, which can be eaten directly. I brought some, you can try it." Gu Yao took out some lettuce wrapped in paper from the backpack she carried with her. There were water stains on it, which was also for the purpose of preserving freshness.
When the old couple saw Xiao Gu in front of them, their eyes lit up when they took out some juicy green vegetables from the cloth bag they were carrying.
"You called this lettuce? Can it be eaten directly?" Old man Qian was instantly delighted.
This dish still looks so juicy and it looks different.
What they usually eat are common vegetables, and he has never seen lettuce.
He looked at Gu Yao.
Gu Yao smiled and said, "Uncle Qian, the name of this vegetable is lettuce, and you can eat it directly." As she spoke, she broke off a leaf from the lettuce, put it directly into her mouth and began to chew.
She handed the lettuce to Old Man Qian.
Old Man Qian imitated Gu Yao, broke off a leaf and put it directly into his mouth.
When the sweet juice on the vegetables fills your entire mouth, it tastes really delicious.
He closed his eyes in enjoyment.
The old lady looked at her old man and thought that the dish must be delicious.
The old man's eyes suddenly opened, and there was a bright light in front of him.
The old lady looked at the old man's eyes and opened them, and said, "Old man, let me have a taste."
Old man Qian broke off another leaf and put it into his mouth, then handed the rest to the old lady: "Well, you eat it, and try it too."
Old Man Qian savored the taste in his mouth. Such juicy green vegetables must be difficult to preserve.
The storage time of green vegetables is relatively short, so he certainly can't buy too much at one time.
Gu Yao didn't say anything, just waiting for Old Man Qian to speak.
The old man looked at Gu Yao. Well, this young woman looked honest, but she was indeed smart.
This good stuff is hard to come by. Even if you take it to the black market, it will be sold out.
"Xiao Gu, tell me, how do we sell these vegetables?" Mr. Qian said to Xiao Gu in front of him without holding back his temper.
