" Carrying such a dozen books in a bamboo basket is not an easy task. It not only takes up space, but also weighs a lot. But the picker is still willing to carry it because of the promise he made at the beginning.
Old-school pickers like him value commitment the most, because this is the basis for their ability to travel everywhere.
Now that these books have finally found the right person, the picker is relieved and can fill the vacant space with other things.
Dong Shihao took out the books and picked out the yo-yo and comic book he had played with before. He thought for a while and took out his wallet from his pocket.
Before he could get the money, the picker said, "I won't charge you. I told you, I'll give it to you directly. Even if you give me money, I won't take it."
Dong Shihao is in trouble. What he fears most is things that money can't solve, and he doesn't like owing favors to others.
"How about this!" Dong Shihao took out the lighter.
The picker smiled and waved his hand, "After traveling around for so many years, I still have some basic knowledge. Your lighter is not cheap. It costs tens of thousands of yuan. Keep it for yourself. If you give it to me again, I will be angry. "
Although he said this with a smile, it also showed his attitude. If he said he didn't want it, he didn't want it. He was different from those pickers who had forgotten the rules of their ancestors and would not exchange things for money.
Dong Shihao is in awe. This kind of people are the most admirable. They can persist until now because of their own character and their love for the industry of pickers.
Grandpa said cheerfully: "Children, they are all people with their own ideas and don't like to owe others. These books are just that. We will exchange other gadgets and other gadgets for things. I like those." sewing."
"Plus this!" Jiang Tian held the maltose sugar bowl.
"Good!" The picker was smoking a cigarette and was very happy. This family liked him very much. He had only met two or three families like this after walking for so long.
"Just wait, I'll get something over here!" Grandpa got up and entered the yard.
"What is this?" Dong Shihao asked.
"Maltose, it tastes very good!" Since Jiang Tian decided to change it, he opened the jar directly and said, "Go to the kitchen and get some chopsticks!"
Xu Ze quickly ran over and came back, with an extra pair of chopsticks in his hand.
Jiang Tian put his chopsticks into the jar, twisted them around a few times, and turned them around a few times. The golden maltose was wrapped around the chopsticks.
"Try it!" Jiang Tian gave it to Dong Shihao.
Dong Shihao immediately took a big bite. Unexpectedly, in this bite, the maltose directly stuck to his teeth.
"Fuck, it's so sticky!" Dong Shihao didn't expect maltose to be like this. "Why don't I remember eating it like this? It's so sticky to the teeth."
The picker said: "What you eat has been specially processed in the post-production process. It will not stick to your teeth and tastes just right. My maltose is made by someone else. It has a thick taste and naturally has a high viscosity."
"But it's delicious!" Dong Shihao now used his hands to pull the maltose off, but when he bit it, his upper and lower teeth were still stuck.
Jiang Tian offered maltose to Agui and Xu Ze. He made some himself and tasted it. It tasted really good. It looked like authentic farmhouse maltose.

Grandpa came out of the house with a bamboo basket and said, "I don't have any good things here. They are just agricultural products. Let's use them in exchange for things."
The bamboo basket contains eggs, duck eggs, apples, canned food, etc., and they are all edible.
"It's too much. How many things have you taken just now? You don't need so much." The picker quickly refused.
¡°It¡¯s not a valuable thing in the first place, so don¡¯t be polite if you take it.¡±
Seeing my grandpa pushing the bamboo basket over so enthusiastically, the picker couldn¡¯t refuse, so he had to accept it.
¡°I¡¯ve made breakfast here, why don¡¯t you come over and have a meal before leaving!¡± Grandpa said.
"No, no, we, the pickers, are used to eating on the road. Besides, your basket is full of food, and I have to continue walking to the next village."
Grandpa didn¡¯t force it.
The picker put the glass box away, tied it up again, and picked up the goods.
¡°?Okay, I saw you raising pigs when I came here. Let me remind you, when I was in Tianbei Province, a village there was suffering from pig disease. There were dead pigs everywhere, and they were buried directly on the spot. , although it is relatively far away from here, this pig disease can spread easily once it occurs. No matter what, it is better to prevent it first. "
"thank you!"
Several people waved goodbye, and the picker took his rattle and started banging again.
¡°It is estimated that this kind of authentic picker can only meet one like this. They walk everywhere, and I am afraid that the next time they meet will be several years later, or they may never meet again in the future.
"Go home, let's eat!" Grandpa greeted.
"By the way, go and call your Grandpa Li over. I drank a lot last night and I must have something to eat in the morning."
Jiang Tian went over and pulled the old man¡¯s head over.
The breakfast was quite sumptuous, and everyone was very happy.
Old Li Tou also took advantage of this moment to say: "I've tidied up the house. It's pretty tidy, but the furniture is quite worn. I've made a lot of money from Jiang Tian recently, and I'm thinking of buying one in the county. , then replace the TV, buy a computer, and connect to the Internet.¡±
Grandpa nodded, "That's fine. Didn't you say that your son would bring his grandson back? Nowadays, all children play on computers."
It seems that Old Li Tou is in a pretty good mood. After all, his son has not come back for a long time since he entered the city.
¡°I¡¯m just going by myself, I¡¯m a little undecided, so I thought I¡¯d ask if you guys have time.¡±
"Yes, you can do it anytime." Jiang Tian said.
"Then let's do it today. I wanted to buy it early and decorate it early, but I'm afraid that my son will come back and the furniture hasn't arrived yet." Old Li Tou said, a little impatient.
¡°Okay, we¡¯ll go to the county seat later, they¡¯re not open yet.¡±
After waiting at home for a while, when eight o'clock came, Jiang Tian drove two old people and Dong Shihao to the city.
The reason why grandpa came over was to see what he could buy. Dong Shihao came over just because he was bored at home. Why not go shopping together and maybe buy something good? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
