第27章 玩笑(1 / 2)

元配 石头与水 2182 字 2022-03-30

中秋前两天,魏年又从外头弄了好几个瓶瓶罐罐的回来,陈萱瞧着,都是不错的瓷器。陈萱还说呢,“哪儿来得这么多东西?”

魏年坐在炕桌旁,拿出来给陈萱看过,唇角含了一丝笑,“大过节的,有些个手头不便宜的,卖些家里摆件,换些钱好过节。”

陈萱都仔仔细细的给魏年收了起来,魏年还送了陈萱两本书,说,“这是添头,如今书本子不值钱,你拿着看吧。”

陈萱连忙接了,见是两本有些古旧的书籍,翻开来,纸张已是泛黄,除了印刷的字,还有不少墨字批注,陈萱道,“那天,买那两本字典就花了五块现大洋,这两本书虽薄些,也得一块钱吧。”

“你不晓得,卖那斗彩花蝶罐的那家,死活跟我讲价,磨磨唧唧,我原不打算买他的了,他又找上我。这是因着后来人出价还不如我厚道,我不想买,他干脆添了这两本书给我做添头,这书能卖几个钱?洋人又不认识咱们的汉字。你留着看吧,那家祖上也是做官的,虽说如今败落了,估计他家的书还不赖。”魏年随口说了这书的来历。

既是添头,陈萱就高高兴兴的收了,还同魏年说,“阿年哥,以后你再去收这些瓶啊罐的,都这么着也不赖。”

魏年笑着一挑眉,打趣陈萱,“是不赖,啊?”

陈萱笑眯眯地,“我给阿年哥打水去,阿年哥你这肯定是忙了一天,先洗把脸,歇一歇,如何?”

看陈萱先去把书仔仔细细的放抽屉里收着,又跑去给他打水洗漱,魏年也不禁一笑。

接下来就是中秋了,中秋节的团圆酒,自然丰盛。尤其,陈萱还有幸的尝到了那两种据魏老太太说极贵极贵的果子罐头,一样荔枝罐头,一样枇杷罐头。虽然,每样分到陈萱这里只有浅浅一勺,不过,一样是吃到了,那滑溜溜的果肉,那甜浓的汤水,陈萱原是想仔细尝一尝的,可不知怎的,一入喉咙,没待细嚼,就哧溜跑肚子里去了。

可真好吃。

陈萱心说,北京城果然是个极了不得的地方,这里,竟然有这样金贵好吃的东西。

陈萱吃了这两样水果罐头,对于席面上的鸡鱼肘肉竟然都淡了几分。晚上她没忍住跟魏年打听,“阿年哥,今儿的水果罐头,是极贵极贵的吧?”

“也还好,没你想的那么极贵极贵的。”学陈萱说话。

“那要多少钱一个?”

魏年问,“是不是还想吃,家里还有哪。”他娘的性子,魏年也是没法。大过节的,家里还有七八个罐头,魏老太太就只舍得拿出两个,结果,一人分一碗底儿。要依魏年,自是都拿出来,大家吃个痛快。

“我听老太太说,这东西很贵,都是南面儿坐火车运过来的,尝个味儿就是大福分了。”陈萱并不是贪嘴的性子,她倒了两杯水端到小炕桌上,递给魏年一杯,又问,“到底多贵?起码得五毛钱一个吧?”

魏年笑着喝口水,告诉她,“荔枝的要一块钱一个,枇杷的便宜些,七毛。”

陈萱瞠目结舌,觉着这也忒贵了些,不禁道,“要知这么贵,还不如买些鲜果子哪。”

魏年道,“荔枝是夏天的水果,枇杷比荔枝还早些,现下除了罐头还能吃到,哪里还有鲜果儿卖?”

“这倒也是。”陈萱想想,说,“我看书,书上说,这荔枝,很久以前就极有名声的,早就是有钱人吃的东西。阿年哥你中秋拿这个送礼,肯定体面。”

“那是当然啦。”魏年与陈萱说,“现在外头,越来越流行洋货,不然就是这些新鲜事物。送礼可不就讲究个体面,大中秋的,你若总是送那老几样,花一样多的钱,人家不见得看得上眼,倒不如买些时兴的吃食,咱们送着好看,收礼的也能吃个新鲜。这花钱,既要花,就得把钱花刀刃上。”

陈萱觉着,魏年这话很有道理。

吃了中秋的团圆酒,八月十六,魏老太太就急催着二儿子魏年往赵家接魏金去了。魏金一回娘家,就带来了一肚子对婆家的抱怨。接过李氏倒的水,魏金咕咚咕咚两口喝干净,又叫李氏再给她倒一杯,连喝两杯水,魏金就坐魏老太太炕头儿说开了,“从七月半忙到正月半,我们那妯娌也真有本事,平日里说嘴说的山响,自己如何如何能干,我这一回去,中秋给伙计们的冬衣还没动呐。这一个月,白天做家里的事,先是祭祖,后是中秋,没片刻闲的,晚上还得点灯熬油的做针线。我们老太太,是死活不肯装电灯,说电灯费电,她用惯了煤油灯。她是晚上也不用做活,半点儿不管别人死活。”

魏老太太把点心匣子往魏金跟前推了推,道,“她早就那样,你又不是不知道。你婆家也两号买卖哪,这日子过的,怎么连个掌柜家都不如?”

“有什么法子,就一门心思的省钱。”魏金拿了块金丝玫瑰馅儿的月饼,咬一口问,“妈,家里还有什么吃的没?整个中秋,别说鸡鱼肘肉了,我是连口热呼的都没吃上。”

魏老太太笑,“给你留着哪,大肘子、烧鸡、炖鱼、炸丸子,都有。”

魏金笑,“有羊肉没,晚上可得给我打几个羊肉饼,我在婆家,就想这一口。”

“有,都有。就是没有,叫你弟媳妇现买去也就有了。”魏老太太很是心疼大闺女在婆家吃苦的事。

魏金回娘家,家里立刻就事多起来。不说别个,魏金瞧陈萱一眼,屋里没人时悄悄问魏老太太,“妈,二弟妹身上怎么又多了件新旗袍?”

魏老太太道,“这不过中秋么,你们姑嫂妯娌,一人一身新的,你那身衣料子,我给你放起来了,就在柜子里,一会儿瞧瞧,也做去。”

“哎,再没有比咱家更疼儿媳妇的了。”魏金没看衣料子,吃过月饼,又挑了块枣泥方酥吃起来,一面说话,“大弟妹就不说了,好歹有些个陪嫁,你说二弟妹,有什么?来的时候,箱子不少,结果呢,就陪嫁了两身衣裳!这吃喝穿戴,还不都是咱家全包!也就是咱家这样的厚道,不然,换别家试试,二十块现大洋的聘金哪,就换两身破衣裳,叫谁家谁家干!”

“她不是没亲爹娘了么,要是有亲爹娘,不至这样。”魏老太太道。

“这也是。”魏金撇嘴,“如今到了咱家,她可算是掉福窝儿里了。”

掉进福窝儿的陈萱正举着魏年的西装发愁,拿去给魏银看,“我正说洗衣裳,也没瞧见,这怎么就烫了个洞。”
