bamboo basket

? In the last century, mothers used the same bamboo basket to buy food. Generally, the bamboo basket used to buy food is about 40 cm high, 30 cm wide at the top, 25 cm wide at the bottom and 20 cm high at the handle. You can pick it up and lift it; There are four small round bamboo feet at the bottom of the solid bamboo piece.

When I was in the fourth grade of primary school, my mother's original bamboo basket had been tied with rope for seven times, eight times and repaired several times.

Dad brought back a new basket from a business trip in Hangzhou. It was a bulging, smooth cylinder with a big top and a small bottom. Especially yellow-green bamboo gives off a unique fragrance.

Mother is carrying a basket full of vegetables and carrots. She looks several years younger. My mother loves this basket very much and doesn't put much weight on it. She only buys vegetables occasionally.

? On the first day of summer vacation, with my mother's consent, I took this bamboo basket, carried the stars, took the street lamp as an example, and went out early to queue up to buy food. The dark crowd in the food market crowded with each other. The noisy noise stung the eardrum. I walked around, and it was dawn, so I found a stall to buy food. But the vegetables have been sold out, only a few celery.

? I bought celery home with the money my mother asked me to buy food. The sun rose, and I tied the handle of the bamboo basket with a woven red ribbon. The leaves of Qin lai are scattered on the round mouth of the bamboo basket, the red ribbon is fluttering, and the green leaves nod. It's really beautiful! It feels like the flower girl in the movie.

When I got home, my father said to me: this celery is very expensive, and the whole family can't stutter enough! As soon as I was in a hurry, I poured celery on the ground and picked up a bamboo basket. But the bamboo basket is not afraid of pain and jumps very high, as if laughing at my stupidity. But dad also said, "I will let you buy food in the future, and you will gradually know how to buy food."

? Soon I finally knew how to queue up at the stall, how to calculate the money and how to arrange what to buy. But sometimes there will be unexpected times. One day, I bought some old Chinese cabbage skins to go home. On the way, I saw a long queue of people buying tofu residue. Generally, bean products are supplied by ticket, but you can't buy tickets for this bean curd residue. Listen to your adults, put some leeks and fry them in oil. Nutrition is quite good. So I quickly went to the queue.

? Although there is no ticket, it is also stipulated that each person can only buy one sea bowl, but I didn't bring a bowl. The uncle who sells bean curd residue said to put the old cabbage skin at the bottom of the basket. Excited to buy home, although praised, but missed half. I think this bean curd residue smells really good when I eat.

Another time, I was surprised to find that the fish and shrimp stall owners would sell some fish and shrimp without tickets before cleaning the booth, and most of the adults had already gone home to prepare for work. There are so few people in the food market that you don't even have to wait in line. Great! I'll rush over and pour out the food first. The uncle who sells fish weighed the bamboo basket first, then shoveled a bunch of small fish and shrimps into the bamboo basket and gave it to me after weighing. Yo! It's similar to buying vegetables. On the way, I think, mom and dad work very hard. Today, they should eat more fish and shrimp. Maybe dad can drink some wine when he sees fish!

At that time, this kind of small fish and shrimp was especially delicious as long as it was cooked in salt water for a few minutes! But the bamboo basket smells like fish, and I can't wash it off. I don't know how much time and soap it took.

How time flies! It's winter vacation, and I can go shopping with this bamboo basket again. However, my mother said that she would prepare new year's goods, use up all the remaining tickets, and wouldn't let me buy food. Mother goes to the food market at three or four every day for almost a week.

One day, when I woke up, I found that my mother had forgotten the shopping basket. I got up in a hurry and ran to the food market with a bamboo basket. Looking at the lights of the food market, although there are not many people, each team is neatly placed with small stools, broken baskets, small porcelain pots and even bricks. Hey! Why is mom last? It turned out that she was the first to sit in line and help everyone manage the team! I asked my mother, "What is this line for?" Mom said, "This is the team that buys hairtail. Only in the front can you buy the widest hairtail. " I let out a cry and went home with a bamboo basket.

When I got home, grandma called me an idiot. Why did I bring the bamboo basket back? ! I fell asleep again and woke up to see my mother wrapped hairtail in a coat and tied radish with a rope. Mom said, "This hairtail is two inches wide, and all the fish tickets are bought with hairtail. Can't be packed in one basket. " I said to my grandmother, "it's a good thing I didn't pack hairtail, otherwise the fishy smell of this bamboo basket won't wash away!" " "Grandma said," you can brush with alkaline water and soak with rice! ""Then he said, "Love and make full use of everything. The same is true of being a man. You have to be an honest and clean person. You have to study hard and work hard to shine like gold. "

This bamboo basket has been with me for several summer holidays. When I grow up, I also decorate it with plastic ropes with small plastic flowers and use it as a storage basket for books, newspapers and drawing paper.

This bamboo basket is full of memories of my youth and has taught me the truth of being a man.
