Chapter 52 Do Primary School Students Nowadays Have so Much Pocket Money?
In an instant, the scene of eating candied haws on a stick as a child appeared before Zhang Jianjun's eyes like a dream.
It was not like now where you can buy it whenever you want.
The uncle who sells candied haws on ice walks the streets and alleys to the countryside, and his shouting voice is clear and penetrating.
Just listening to it can make a group of children cry.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jianjun took the candied haws from Lin Zhou and was about to eat it when he was interrupted by Sister Wang.
"Master, the young master has warned you that your sugar intake has exceeded the standard this month and you should not eat sweets anymore."
Zhang Jianjun:......
The good mood disappeared in an instant.
Zhang Jianjun wanted to complain and scold Zhang Mingyuan for that bastard.
But in front of Lin Zhou, he still held back and closed his mouth.
"Indeed, the candied haws on a stick is too sweet, uncle, just eat one bunch, don't eat more."
Uncle Zhang looks young, but he is actually not young anymore. He needs to pay more attention to his health.
Especially high blood pressure, if not controlled, is really dangerous. If you fall, the risk of sudden death is very high.
"Stop calling me uncle, call me uncle."
"Okay, Uncle Zhang."
Lin Zhou changed his words obediently, guessing that Uncle Zhang might feel that calling him uncle made him look older, while calling him uncle made him look younger.
Men, they all refuse to accept old age.
Lin Zhou can understand.
Several people picked up the prepared candied haws and started eating.
The hawthorns wrapped in sugar syrup seemed to suddenly have spiritual energy and became bright and bright.
The moment you bite into your mouth, a crisp sound explodes between the teeth, and waves of sweet and sour tastes hit your mouth in turn, causing saliva to gush out like spring water. First there is sweetness, then sourness, chewing together, Sweet and sour, so delicious, so delicious!
In less than a moment, only a solitary wooden stick remained in the bunch of candied haws.
"One bunch is too little, just two."
Zhang Jianjun finished the bunch of candied haws in two mouthfuls and couldn't get enough.
He looked at Lin Zhou eagerly, as if waiting for him to continue.
"There will be fillings for the candied haws later. I prepared red bean filling, mung bean filling, jujube paste, purple sweet potato paste, taro paste, and walnuts."
Lin Zhouyue said that Zhang Jianjun drooled more and more.
Holding back his greed, he prepared to send it back to Sister Wang and the others later, so that he could stay alone and maybe eat one of each flavor.
Someone is watching here, so he must not be able to eat.
I haven’t eaten this thing in years. It would be okay if I couldn’t see it. But if I saw it, I couldn’t help it!
...
Lin Zhou moved very quickly. He had to make five hundred skewers, which was a lot of weight. He took several skewers in one hand, staggered them, put them into the sugar pot, dipped them lightly, took them out and smashed them on the water board, and instantly formed a On the horizontal surface, this kind of candy piece is the favorite part of children. It is purely sweet, hard and crispy. Eating it in your mouth is no different from holding candy.
Pure hawthorn fruit, two in a bunch.
One bunch of strawberries.
Blueberries, four in a bunch.
Peaches, pears, and apples are all in bunches.
Hawthorn fruits wrapped with fillings come in bunches.
Lin Zhou counted the candied haws while skewering them. After he had reached 500 skewers, he sorted the candied haws and placed them in a glass cabinet.
The familiar tricycle stalls have been systematically transformed into rows of glass cabinets to hold candied haws.
In order to sell more skewers, Lin Zhou set the price as three yuan for one bunch, five yuan for two skewers, and ten yuan for five skewers.
So many flavors to choose from.
With this portion, buying it for ten yuan is the best deal.
Calculating it this way, selling five hundred bunches of candied haws a day is not too difficult to accomplish.
"It's done. If you want to eat the rest of Uncle Zhang's, you can take them home. If you don't finish them, put them in the freezer. They will taste the same when you take them out. It will be easier to store them for a long time in the summer."
Lin Zhou doesn't like to eat candied haws. Although it's delicious, eating too much of it can make your teeth sore.
Seeing that Zhang Jianjun liked it, I packed up the remaining dozens of strings for him to take home.
"Hey, why are you so embarrassed?"
"It's not worth much. We make it ourselves and everyone can try it."
Lin Zhou also packed a portion for Master Li, Ma Zhang, and Sister Wang.
If it weren't for their help today, he would definitely not be able to make five hundred bunches of candied haws quickly.
Uncle Zhang really helped him a lot.
When I have time later, I have to treat people to a meal.
It can be seen that he also likes to eat.
...
After everything was prepared, Lin Zhou ate a bowl of noodles to fill his stomach, and rushed to the gate of a primary school in a hurry.
The only audience he can think of for candied haws of sugar is primary school students.
It's only half past one, students don't start class until 2:15, and there are parents of students inside and outside the door. It's a good time to set up stalls.
When Lin Yiyi came over, the glass cabinet was densely packed with all kinds of candied haws, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Not all kids.
Some parents who sent their children to school were attracted when they saw these beautiful candied haws piled together.
"Brother, how do you sell candied haws on a stick?"
As soon as Lin Zhou found a seat and parked the car, a little girl came over carrying a schoolbag that was half her height.
Lin Zhou lowered his head when he heard the voice. The first thing he saw was the big schoolbag. The little girl seemed to be crushed. She was always bending down when walking, for fear of being weightless by the schoolbag behind her.
Are primary school students under so much pressure to study now?
It goes without saying that this schoolbag is very heavy.
And when I looked up, I saw that it wasn't just the little girl's schoolbag that was like this, the schoolbags of these primary school students were all very big.
Some parents put their schoolbags on their children's backs when they were about to enter the school gate, and the children's originally upright bodies were immediately bent.
It was terrible!
"Little boy, are you alone?"
Facing the young children, Lin Zhou's voice became soft unconsciously.
It felt like coaxing a child.
"Yes, mom sent me there and left."
"Then what flavor of candied haws do you want to eat? Three yuan for a string, five yuan for two strings, ten yuan for five strings."
Even elementary school students can calculate the bill.
Obviously, five yuan for two strings is cheaper.
The little girl asked for ten yuan without hesitation, and took out ten yuan from her pocket and handed it to Lin Zhou.
This generous look surprised Lin Zhou.
Do elementary school students have so much pocket money now? ?
He originally thought that the price would be a bit expensive for children to sell at the entrance of the elementary school, but now he thinks he was worrying too much.
The children are richer than he thought.
