When the five-day lantern festival ended, Xiao Lihuaer came to Mr. Zhao Changqing Su with joy.

Zhao Changqing handed her a cup of ginger honey water, and Xiao Lihua'er smiled, "I'm the same myself." ”

"It's just a matter of hand." Zhao Changqing laughed, "What's more, my sister is here to deliver silver today, so I have to serve you again." ”

Xiao Lihua'er smiled and took the ginger honey water, "What a ghost, I haven't opened my mouth yet, you don't know the prophet." She has always been in the habit of putting public before private, and said with a smile, "This Shangyuan Festival is really lively, the whole city has come out to watch the lanterns, and our business is also good." The marquee we made was enough to sell for a tael of silver. Xiao Lihua'er's eyes were shining, "I even counted the work and materials, went to the silver of the materials, and went to the wages of the two sisters-in-law who asked someone to sell the lamps together, yesterday everything was clear, and the remaining lamps were not sold, so I gave it to the two sisters-in-law who helped, and spent five hundred dollars to call the table and invite them to eat." All of these things are calculated together, and we will make a net profit of six taels or seven dollars of silver,"

In these years, like Zhao Changqing's family, it only costs five taels of silver to eat a month. Among them, there are two or two of Mr. Su's shackles. Zhao Changqing smiled, "I made so much money!" ”

Xiao Lihua'er raised her eyebrows and said, "It's not much." This year, I was in a hurry and made a few taels, and I will prepare in advance next year to make a lot of money. Xiao Lihuaer said back to the grand plan, and said with a smile, "The three of us will divide it equally, each family will have two or two dollars, I will work and contribute, and the extra money will be given to me, how about it?" ”

Zhao Changqing said, "My husband and I didn't help sell the lamps, and besides, the idea was yours, Sister Lihuaer was busy from beginning to end, and she should take the big lead." Let's return one yard to one yard, how can we make you suffer? ”

Xiao Lihua'er smiled, "Although I came up with the idea, you and Mr. have helped me a lot, otherwise, we don't have so many colorful lights, and we can't sell them so well." Let's work together and share it equally. Besides, although the business is Ding is Ding Mao is Mao, we have different feelings, and it is indispensable to partner again in the future. Compared to our affection, money is secondary, so don't be polite to me. ”

Mr. Su smiled, "If you have anything to make a fortune in the future, come to me and Changqing again." If the silver is left at home, it will not give birth to a small one, but it is better to use it for business. ”

Little Pear Blossom smiled, "Definitely." She took out the bookkeeping list, first gave Zhao Changqing's silver to Zhao Jiajuan, and then divided the silver that Zhao Changqing Mr. Su deserved, and said with a smile, "In fact, in the lamp market, the best business is not to sell lamps." Those who sell Lantern Festival snacks are the ones who make the most money, and now the pear fruit is bigger, and no one needs to watch it all day long, my mother said that she wants to do some small business. ”

Mr. Su asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Go out in the morning and sell breakfast." Xiao Lihuaer said, "In our border city, except for some families with family backgrounds, there are servants and maids available, and they will cook breakfast at home." In fact, many of them are bought and eaten for a few dollars. I used to go out in the morning to make deliveries, and on the stalls that sold breakfast, steamed buns, baked cakes, noodles, fried rice porridge, and everything, I could make a lot of money in the morning, but it was harder. You have to get up early to get out of the stall, and you can close the stall and go home by noon. I told my mother, first steam some steamed buns to sell, and then look at the market. ”

Zhao Changqing asked, "Then do you want to rent an early shop?" ”

"Don't rent it for the time being, just steam the buns at home in the morning and sell them." Xiao Lihuaer smiled, "Try to intercede, if it's easy to sell, let's talk about the shop." ”

Mr. Su said, "People take food as the sky, and the key to selling food is to taste good, as long as it is delicious, although it is hard, it is a long-term livelihood." ”

Little Pear Blossom smiled, "You all feel good, I'll give it a try with my mother." ”

Zhao Changqing asked, "How do you sell those buns?" ”

Xiao Lihuaer smiled, "I started to do less, I have a hand-pushed wheelbarrow at home, just push it, it's not too heavy." ”

Xiao Lihuaer has always done things after making a decision, saying that she was selling steamed buns, she was not in a hurry, first went out in the morning to buy a lot of steamed buns, not only Zhao Lizi shouted that his sister Sun came out of the west to become generous, Xiao Lihuaer also took a lot of them to Mr. Zhao Changqing Su to taste, saying which steamed buns sold the best, and asked them to taste the taste, and asked them to eat the steamed buns at home.

Zhao Changqing had a good set of cooking skills in his previous life, and said, "The taste is a little worse, and the seasoning for the filling is different." ”

Xiao Lihuaer said, "I also eat the steamed buns from the Zhu family's steamed bun shop are more delicious, Sister Qing doesn't know how to say, the business of his steamed buns is really good, and people have to line up in the morning to buy it." is just such a meat bun, other people's families sell five yuan, and one other family sells eight yuan, and the supply exceeds the demand. ”

The name of the Zhu family's steamed buns, Zhao Changqing grew up in the border city since he was a child, and naturally he also knows the Tao. In his previous life, Ling Teng liked this family's buns very much, and once bought two for her, which moved Zhao Changqing very much. Zhao Changqing was angry in the kitchen for a few days, and greatly improved his steamed bun skills, although it is still inferior to the Zhu family's steamed buns, but it is also better than the steamed buns of the apricot sister-in-law.

Zhao Changqing said, "Do you still have meat filling at home, I'll mix it back for you." ”

"Yes, yes." Xiao Lihuaer said, "Even ready-made flour is available." ”

Little Pear Hua'er is really a delicate person, she bought a pound of pork in the morning and came back, finely chopped into meat leaves, but only asked her mother to steam three or five buns at a time, and each time the ingredients were recorded carefully, taste different tastes.

Zhao Changqing changed his clothes and went over, the pear was sweating on his hot face, he was the head of the fire, and he was in charge of lighting the fire in the kitchen, even if it was the first month, he was sweating.

Zhao Lizi said, "Sister, Sister Qing can only study, what are you looking for her for?" "He's been eating steamed buns these days, and he's about to turn them into buns.

Xiao Lihuaer said, "If you don't know it, you're not happy, studying makes people smart, and people are smart and do anything." Sister Qing is such a smart person, making steamed buns is just a piece of cake, okay. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Sister Lihua'er, you may not be able to do it." ”

"It's okay, you give it a try, it's called brainstorming." Little Pear Blossom asked, "Do you want to give you a hand?" ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "No, the stuffing is ready-made." ”

In order to mix the stuffing of the buns, Xiao Lihuaer bought all the seasonings in the market. Zhao Changqing fried the peppercorns in oil, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon and the like to boil into seasoning water, and then began to slowly adjust the bun filling, first put peanut oil in it, add a few drops of sesame oil, the meat stuffing can not be in a hurry, use chopsticks to one side, add the boiled seasoning water while beating, and then beat the meat filling to a degree that is not thin or thick, and then roll out four bun skins, and wrap out four meat buns.

The pear boiled the water in the pot, and the apricot sister-in-law smiled, "I'll steam it, don't burn Changqing." Lihua'er, you and Changqing went out to drink saliva, and I made the tea. In the past two years, life has gradually become more and more prosperous, and Xiao Lihuaer is willing to let her mother and brother eat better after earning money. The pears and pears are gradually growing up, all sensible, and the apricot sister-in-law's complexion looks better than in previous years.

Xiao Lihuaer took Zhao Changqing out to drink tea, and Xiao Lihuaer said, "Sister Qing, you are younger than me, and the buns are still presentable." ”

Zhao Changqing took a sip of tea with a smile and said, "It's not easy, I started learning to make dim sum last year." However, I'm afraid that my steamed buns are not as delicious as the Zhu family's buns. ”

Xiao Lihuaer said, "This food is different from weaving baskets, no matter how difficult it is to weave baskets, it's a big deal if I buy a few and disassemble them, and I will make them by myself." Eating but each family has its own secret recipe, think about it, the Zhu family relies on this to eat, how many years have his steamed buns been popular, and none of them sell better than his. If we can understand the secret recipe as soon as we see it, people don't have to mix it up. ”

"The point is, if you want to do it, you have to do it well." Xiao Lihuaer has always been a strong person, she said, "Although I plan to do some small business, I can't make do with it." Especially this food, good and bad people can eat it as soon as they eat it. If you don't eat it once, people don't come a second time. Therefore, it is better to spend more time at home, and also make the buns poorly, and then go to the stall. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "That's the reason." ”

When the buns came out of the pot, Zhao Lizi came in with a steamed bun cut in half, and smiled, "Sister, you try it, the buns made by Sister Qing are better than our mother's steamed ones." "He ate one out of the pot.

Sister-in-law Xing smiled, "Yes, this learned person is just different." ”

Xiao Lihua'er took a corner, took a bite and smiled, "It's really delicious." ”

Zhao Changqing also tasted it, in the past, she only felt sad when she thought of the things in her previous life, but now she may have been infected by Xiao Lihua'er's smile, but she smiled instead of feeling sad, and said, "It's still a little worse, I'll go back to the stuffing again." "If I don't do it for a long time, my hands are a little raw.

Little Pear Blossom hurriedly followed.

Zhao Changqing readjusted the filling, steamed the buns, and took them to Mr. Su to taste. Mr. Su nodded, "It's obviously better this time, Changqing's stuffing?" ”

Xiao Lihua'er smiled, "But isn't it, I didn't know that Sister Qing had such a skill before." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's almost the same to make buns and dumplings, if it's meat, it's nothing more than putting some cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and the like to remove the fish." In addition, peanut oil is also fragrant, and it is not as good as sesame oil in terms of fragrance, so put some sesame oil. However, compared to the Zhu family's buns, it is still inferior. ”

Mr. Su asked, "What kind of stuffing is used in it?" ”

Little Pear Blossom said, "Yes, my sister estimated, and wrote down the recipe for me." ”

Zhao Changqing took the pen and wrote a few ingredients, Xiao Lihuaer took it, and showed it to Mr. Su, Mr. Su nodded slightly, added a few more items to it, and wrote the dosage after considering it, and said, "Try it again, I think there should be these flavors." ”

Until Zhao Changqing took Zhao Rong to attend Li Mingzhu's birthday, Xiao Lihuaer was still considering the ingredients of the buns, but the buns made were better than the others, and even the old lady Zhao of the Ling family said that it tasted good.

Ling said to Zhao Changqing in private, "It's one thing for you to have a good relationship with Xiao Lihua'er, and you also have a few more eyes, her family sells steamed buns, and if you can help, you still have to focus on schoolwork." I see that you have been busy with her buns these days, and you have been slacking off in your studies. Look at your sister, work hard every day, so that you can make good poems. In Ling's cognition, those who can make poetry are talented women. Having the name of a talented woman is very beneficial to your daughter.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Mother, I know the truth." I haven't been there for the past few days, and Sister Lihua'er's buns have been made very well. ”

Ling smiled, "It's good for everyone, take other people's affairs more seriously than your own, just like your father." ”

"Father and daughter, of course it's the same." Zhao Changqing asked with a smile, "Who is Daddy going to help today?" "Zhao Yong is a warm-hearted person, and in Ling's words, he is naturally stupid.

Ling said angrily, "Your father's little banner, who called Kong Xiangdong, wants to marry a daughter-in-law, and your father is going to work with him." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Daddy is dedicated to his subordinates, and his subordinates can be on errands." When Kong Xiaoqi's family marries his daughter-in-law and sets up wine, let's also go and join in the fun. ”

Ling smiled, "Just go, you have to prepare a gift anyway." Then he asked, "What gift did you give to Mingzhu?" ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I made a purse." "Take it out and show it to Ling.

Ling saw that it was embroidered with a butterfly and peony pattern, and the small purse was made of a good look and was very fine. Ling couldn't help but praise, "The needle and thread are getting better and better." ”

Zhao Rong was already dressed, came in and asked with a smile, "What did my mother say?" ”

Ling beckoned her to come to her and showed her, "Do you think about this purse made by your sister?" ”

Zhao Rong nodded and pointed to the small purse she was wearing, "It's better than me." ”

Zhao Changqing took Zhao Rong's words and smiled, "Sister Rong is also five years old, although poetry and books are important, it is good to learn some needlework." I remember being a five-year-old needleworker. With Sister Rong's cleverness, the needlework will be better than me in the future. ”

Ling smiled, "Don't you say that I forgot, Sister Rong should learn some needlework." ”

Zhao Rong didn't like to be a needlewoman in her life, and knew that Zhao Changqing was deliberately embarrassing her, so she only smiled, "Mother, you can't use needlework in the first month, I'll learn it after the first month." ”

Ling smiled, "That's good." Then he told them to go out as guests, and let them go.

Li Mingzhu's twelfth birthday is not too big, but he just invited familiar sisters to come to the house for a get-together. The Zhao and Li families were originally relatives, Zhao Changqing and Zhao Rong naturally arrived earlier, Li Mingzhu greeted him and said with a smile, "Sister Qing, Sister Rong." It's cold outside, come with me into the house. ”

Zhao Changqing asked, "Is my aunt at home?" ”

Li Mingzhu smiled, "Why aren't you here?" Coincidentally, my father didn't go out today, so he happened to meet together. So he took the sisters into the house.

Li Baihu is worthy of being Li Mingbao's father, it is obviously Li Mingzhu's birthday, and the father and son also cleaned up their heads and feet, and the girl outside said that the girl of the Zhao family was here. Li Baihu obviously straightened up, sat more straight, and saw Mrs. Li roll her eyes.

Li Mingbao smiled and took two steps out of the hall to greet him, and said, "Sister Qing is here." He greeted Zhao Rong again, "Sister Rong is good." ”

The two sisters called Brother Li, and Li Mingbao hurriedly invited them in.

Before seeing Zhao Changqing, Li Baihu had already made enough mental preparations, thinking that as long as he was not too fat, even if his face was mediocre, if his son liked it alive or dead, he would not be so sour and rotten, just make do with it. When the Zhao sisters came in, Li Baihu took a look at it and was amazed. Zhao Rong doesn't care, a small bean dice. The key is Zhao Changqing, wearing a big red cloak inlaid with black fox fur, combing a simple hanging hair on his head, and a hairpin with a bun of begonia flowers in his hair.

Li Baihuxin said that his son is really a good eye, this Zhao family girl is still a little childish when she is younger, but it can be seen that she is a little beauty embryo. What is even more rare is this unusual calmness, seeing that the elders are generous, and there is no twist of a small family.

Seeing the Zhao family sisters saluting, Li Baihu hurriedly said, "They are all relatives of the family, not outsiders, sit down." ”

Li Baihu said with a smile, "On weekdays, I'm busy outside, and I haven't seen you much, so don't be restrained, just like your own family." He asked Zhao Changqing again, "What are you studying now?" ”

Zhao Changqing replied with a smile, "I am reading history books, and occasionally reading some medical books." ”

Li Baihu doesn't know two big characters, he doesn't understand the things in the medical books at all, history books and the like, in fact, he doesn't know much about it, but he always hears two paragraphs in the teahouse, Li Baihu asked, "Do you know the story of Emperor Tai\\Zu beating the border city?" ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "What my uncle said is that Emperor Tai\\Zu has just established the country, and the Xiban has repeatedly violated the border, and later the Emperor Tai\\Zu personally conquered and drove the Xiban out of the border Mu country, which made people rebuild the border city, and since then the people in the border city have enjoyed peace." ”

Li Baihu Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled, "Sure enough, he is a person who has studied, and he is knowledgeable." ”

Li Baihu said a few words to Zhao Changqing, and Mrs. Li said, "Mingzhu, take Sister Changqing Rong to your room to talk, you little sisters are in one place, and you are more comfortable." ”

Li Mingzhu took the Zhao sisters to go, Li Mingbao wanted to say a few words to the past, but because of the old lady's eyes, he didn't dare to follow.

Li Baihu asked his son, "You're not going out today?" "Although it is interesting to other girls, you can't be too enthusiastic, otherwise, it will be worth the loss to frighten other girls. Moreover, there is no harm in being reserved in everything, now that Zhao Changqing is young, and he doesn't know what the Zhao family means, his son is hot when he shaves his head like this, if it is too obvious, it is a little inappropriate.

Li Mingbao said, "This is out of the blue." "There will be other girls coming for a while, Li Mingbao has no interest in other girls, he just likes Zhao Changqing and Sven cute.

"Then go ahead." After sending his son out, Li Baihu whispered to his wife, "This kid has a good eye." ”

Mrs. Li glanced at her husband with disgust, "You also take some of it, your mouth can't grin at the back of your head." "It's really embarrassing, I don't know a single big word, and I go to talk about history with others.

"It's all little girls, I'm an elder, of course I have to be kind." Li Baihu touched the short beard on his lips and said, "It doesn't look like her father." "I really can't imagine that Zhao Yong would give birth to such a beautiful girl.

Mrs. Li said, "The daughters of the people are called the president, these two girls of the Zhao family are both handsome, and their parents can follow wherever they are good." ”

"It's good, it's good." Li Baihu praised it twice, nodded and said, "If this thing can be done, the children and grandchildren will benefit." ”

Mrs. Li smiled, "I just want Changqing to read and write, and his temperament is good." You see how she speaks and acts, you can't tell that she is a girl from a military family, and she can be a lady from a scholarly family who doesn't know what to do. ”

Li Baihu said, "It's just that it's a little thin." ”

Mrs. Li didn't want to pay attention to this person, and said, "I used to say that people were fat, but now they are too thin. Usually mother-in-law is picky about her daughter-in-law, but in our family, it is the other way around. ”

Li Baihu laughed, got up and said, "Then I'm out of the alley, you can watch their little girls play." "My son has a girl he likes, and it's good for Li Baihu to look at it, but it's still early for the family, so he doesn't have to worry.
