Qin Huairu is not only a planner, but also an activist.
Now that she had received advice from Ru Yibao's Jia Zhang, she decided to go to Cao Zhiqiang as soon as possible to make things clear before Sophora japonica fell too deep, and cut off Sophora japonica's thoughts from the source.
So soon, she went out and went straight to Cao Zhiqiang's house.
When she went out, the sun had set and night was beginning to fall.
As soon as Qin Huairu came from the backyard to the middle courtyard, she heard a faint and melodious singing.
She knew that this must be Cao Zhiqiang's tape recorder ringing again.
After shaking her head, Qin Huairu walked directly into the west span of the central courtyard, and the music immediately became louder.
Originally, Qin Huairu wanted to enter Cao Zhiqiang's house immediately, but maybe it was because the singing was so beautiful, or maybe she didn't know what to say when she went in, so she couldn't help but stand at the door of Cao Zhiqiang's house, motionless.
…
sweet
you smile sweetly
It's like flowers blooming in the spring breeze
blooming in the spring breeze
Where
where have i seen you
Your smile is so familiar
I can't remember at the moment
ah
dreaming
…
After finally waiting for the song to end, Qin Huairu came back to her senses. She quickly shook her head and shook away the sound that seemed to be lingering in her ears. Then she walked to the door of Cao Zhiqiang's house and patted the door gently.
"Cao Zhiqiang, is Cao Zhiqiang at home?"
Of course Cao Zhiqiang is at home.
He was wearing an apron and holding a knife, preparing to use top-notch Chinese knife skills to cut the pile of red tomatoes.
In addition to the tomatoes, there was a large piece of fresh beef brisket on the side.
Yes, he is going to make tomato and beef brisket soup and have a good meal.
When he heard someone knocking on the door, Cao Zhiqiang, who was playing with a knife and flowers with one hand, and swiping the kitchen knife with one hand like a fan spinning around, immediately continued to play with the kitchen knife and fan, turned his head and asked loudly: "Who is it?"
"It's me!" Qin Huairu said loudly, "Your Aunt Qin!"
When Cao Zhiqiang heard this, he immediately understood that it was Qin Huairu who was here.
"Wait, come right away!"
After finishing speaking, Cao Zhiqiang stopped his hand violently, and the knife, which was spinning like a fan, stopped and turned into a kitchen knife again.
After gently putting down the knife, he picked up a towel next to him and wiped his hands, then turned off the tape recorder next to him. Cao Zhiqiang then walked to the door and quickly opened it.
Sure enough, it was Qin Huairu standing outside the door.
"Oh, isn't this Aunt Qin?" Cao Zhiqiang immediately laughed and said, "What kind of wind brought you here at this late night? It's so beautiful!"
Qin Huairu smiled gently: "It's nothing, no, I heard that you just bought a refrigerator, a color TV, a washing machine, and a tape recorder. These are the first ones in our hospital, so I'll come over and take a look. Does it look fresh... By the way, can I go in and take a look?"
Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "It's hard for others to tell, but who are you? You are Aunt Qin. If I don't let anyone see it, I have to let you see it."
Qin Huairu smiled and said, "You are really good at talking. Can I go in?"
"Of course." Cao Zhiqiang opened the door, "But as for the TV, the two children are watching cartoons in the back room right now. It's not good to disturb them at the moment. Or you can watch something else first.
For example, check out the refrigerator, washing machine, and tape recorder. Finally, it’s not too late to watch TV. "
"It's done, it's all done." Qin Huairu smiled and walked into Cao Zhiqiang's house.
After coming in, Qin Huairu saw at a glance several red tomatoes placed on the cutting board on the dining table.
"Ah? Tomatoes?" Qin Huairu was surprised, "Where do you get tomatoes in this season?"
Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Oh, I went to the pigeon market to buy some. They said they were some kind of scientific research project conducted by the Agricultural University. They were some off-season greenhouse vegetables. I planted too many and couldn't use them. Someone secretly sold them. I came across them and bought a few to try them out.”
Well, although Cao Zhiqiang said this, of course it is not true.
In fact, these tomatoes were one of the prizes he signed in before.
Of course, Cao Zhiqiang is right. At this time, there are indeed off-season tomatoes in China, and some agricultural universities are indeed conducting experimental projects related to off-season vegetables.
However, since no large-scale ethylene projects have been established in China at this time, and plastic greenhouses have not yet become popular, most of the off-season vegetables at this time are grown in glass greenhouses, and the prices are high.
Therefore, even if out-of-season tomatoes like this enter the market, they are usually reserved for high-ranking officials and are difficult for ordinary people to buy.
Of course, at this time, in the winter and spring seasons, ordinary people can also eat tomatoes in their homes, but they are all homemade canned tomatoes in jars or glass bottles in advance. It is difficult to buy real fresh tomatoes. of.
Others don't know this, but Qin Huairu is a well-known person.
After all, she doesn't go to work very much now. She just stays at home and buys groceries all day, or chats with other people. She has a wide range of information channels and is very familiar with these things.
"Vegetables in the greenhouse at the Agricultural University?" Qin Huairu nodded, "I know that. I did hear that they were selling out-of-season vegetables there. I also heard Zhu Zhu mention it. When he went to the leader's house to cook, he I’ve seen such out-of-season vegetables, but I never thought you could get them too?”
"Luck." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "I just happened upon it, so I bought it."
"Isn't it expensive?" Qin Huairu walked to the chopping board, picked up a tomato and looked at it, "It's round, big and red, and it looks really good. You are so lucky to be able to buy such a good tomato. It’s still rare in this season.”
Cao Zhiqiang's eyelids twitched, knowing that the other party was thinking about his tomatoes.
Although Cao Zhiqiang still had a bunch of these tomatoes in his space, and there was supposedly no shortage of them, he didn't want to take advantage of the vampire Qin Huairu.
So Cao Zhiqiang pretended not to understand and asked: "Aunt Qin, you are looking for me at this time, I'm afraid you are not just here to see my new refrigerator, color TV, washing machine? Is there anything else?"
Qin Huairu put down the tomatoes reluctantly, turned to Cao Zhiqiang and smiled: "It's easy to talk to smart people.
Zhiqiang, you have been smart since you were a child, I know this, you..."
Just as he said this, the door of the north room was suddenly opened, and then he saw Qiao Simei walking out with a piece of watermelon: "Brother Cao, your watermelon is so sweet. My sister said that I would leave some for you, so you can't eat it all." Guang, please try it quickly, I cut it for you myself."
Before Cao Zhiqiang could speak, Qin Huairu suddenly opened his eyes: "Watermelon? Are there any watermelons at this time?"
"Cough!" Cao Zhiqiang put his right hand into a fist and coughed.
“Aunt Qin, since there are out-of-season tomatoes, of course there are also out-of-season watermelons.
You know who I am. Now that you've met me, of course you can't just buy one thing. Of course you want them all, don't you think? "
Qin Huairu nodded subconsciously, still staring at the watermelon in Qiao Simei's hand.
"Simei!" Cao Zhiqiang said quickly, "You go back to the house first, I have something serious to talk to someone."
Qiao Simei blinked, looked at Cao Zhiqiang, and then at Qin Huairu: "What about this watermelon?"
"Put it in the refrigerator first," Cao Zhiqiang said, "I'll eat it later."
"oh!"
Qiao Simei immediately jumped to the refrigerator, opened the door of the cold room, carefully put the watermelon in, and then said to herself:
“This refrigerator is really good, with double doors, it can both refrigerate and freeze.
I don’t have to worry about the leftovers spoiling in the future, and I don’t have to worry about the ice cream melting if I buy it. I can drink iced drinks and eat iced watermelon at any time, which is great. "
After closing the refrigerator door, Qiao Simei turned around and said, "Brother Cao, I've put it away, shall I go back to the house and watch TV?"
"Go ahead, go ahead." Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand, "You are the only one who has the most drama!"
Qiao Simei giggled, skipped back to the north room, closed the door again, and went to watch TV with her sister.
