Chapter 63

She lowered her voice and replied in a low voice. Xinguo is still sleeping, don't wake him up. Grape glanced at Xin Ran, turned over, nestled in Xin Guo's arms and continued to sleep.

When they arrived at the kitchen, Mama Fang had already boiled the washing water, and the two of them began to work after washing. The chestnuts are all dried, which is convenient to process, Xin Ran put the chestnuts in a large pot, add a little water to boil, and then use a small pot to make some noodles for breakfast.

After the chestnuts were cooked, she began to bake, and for most of the hour, this pot was ready, a full fifty catties, and the hot chestnuts were directly put into the prepared basin, covered with a small quilt, and the taste changed when it was cold.

Before the second pot came out, Aunt Xin and the others came. Didn't even eat breakfast. She ordered another small pot of noodles and ate some for each of them to cushion their stomachs.

"Xiao Ran, congratulations, grandpa is also here to join in the fun." The village chief said with a smile. "Grandpa the village chief, I'm so glad you can come, you just sit there and eat chestnuts." Xin Ran said happily.

"Okay." Hehe, he can't help, just look at the child, there are many people today, and no one is watching the child.

At the beginning of the Chen Dynasty, Shopkeeper Sun, Liu Dagui and Zheng Qi all arrived one after another. The lion dance has already started at the door, attracting a lot of passers-by, and now the outside of the store is full of people.

"Shopkeeper Sun and Director Liu are here, what is the origin of this store?" A waiting guest asked curiously. "Could it be that you are also here to buy chestnuts? I've heard that Yi Pin Xuan also serves chestnuts. "There is speculation.

"Eun, probably ......"

"Maybe it's a relative......," another said.

Xin Ran didn't know all the speculations outside, and even if he knew, he smiled and wouldn't care.

"Uncle Sun, Uncle Liu, Brother Zheng, you are here." Xin Ran shouted happily. "Xiao Ran, Wishing you prosperity. I want to leave some chestnuts for my uncle. Liu Dagui said in a loud voice.

"That's for sure." Li Dagui laughed and praised Xin Ran for being sensible.

At the moment, the lion dance at the door stopped, Zheng Qi lit the firecrackers, and the shopkeeper Sun said some opening words as a representative.

"Today's store opens, on behalf of my niece's family,......, in order to thank you for your long-term support, today and tomorrow three days, all buy a pound and get half a pound, buy more and get more, first come, first served!"

The day's busyness is rewarding, and by the afternoon, all the chestnuts prepared today have been sold, a full 1,500 catties. When Xin Ran was tired, he changed to Daddy Li, and when Daddy Li was tired, he changed to Grandma, and several people took turns to come, just like that, at the end of the day, his arm was numb, and he probably couldn't move tomorrow. Uncle Sun and Uncle Liu stayed for a while, and saw that Xin Ran and they were too busy, so they said hello and left. Uncle Liu left Zheng Qi to help.

"Dinner is ready, everyone is coming to eat." Aunt Xin shouted. More than ten dishes, sit down at one table, everyone is hungry, pick up the rice bowl and eat.

"Xiao Ran, your food is really fragrant and delicious!" The village chief finished eating one bowl and added another, and he was really hungry. He didn't do any heavy work, just took care of the children, he was old, and he was mentally exhausted after a day.

"Grandpa the village chief, I think you are hungry, and you didn't treat you well at noon, we shouldn't have it."

"What do you say, I eat what you eat, and it makes no difference. Little girl, don't be foolish. "He's not here to be a guest, that's it.

After eating, everyone sat in the front hall, talking, drinking some tea, and loosening their muscles. Xin Ran went to the back room alone and took out three purses from the cabinet, each containing two taels of silver fruits.

These three purses were for the village chief, Uncle Li, and Zheng Qi.

She also prepared ten catties of chestnuts for Zheng Qi to take back. Father Li sent Gui Fang pine nuts and pomegranates and Uncle Li and Aunt Li back, she also sent ten catties of chestnuts, Aunt Xin and Xia Wanru stayed here and didn't go back tonight.

Although they were all tired, everyone's feelings were very high, and they didn't feel sleepy at all. Aunt Xin and Xia Wanru went back to the house and pulled Mama Fang to talk, and Xin Ran also returned to the house with Xin Guo.

Take out the money box and shake it excitedly, it's so loud! She grabbed a handful of copper coins and gave them to Xin Guo, "Guo'er, help my sister count them." Hey. ”

Thirty-two taels in total! Hahaha! In addition to the six taels that were given, the net profit was twenty-six taels. In the future, they will no longer make chestnuts themselves, but only chestnuts.

"Guo'er, you're so good today, this is your reward.!" Xin Ran counted out ten copper plates, strung them with red strings, and handed them to Xin Guo.

"Sister, Songzi is also good! Grapes are also good! "Good partners also need to be there.

"Okay, will my sister reward pine nuts tomorrow? Harvest the reward fruit of the grapes? She took out another ten cents and put them together.

"En, I'll keep it and buy delicious food for the grapes to eat later." Xin Guo nodded seriously.

Squeak, boy, don't forget jì!

Business exploded in the first three days, and it was sold out of stock every day. In the next few days, the business was light, but this is normal, the chestnuts can be put away, and it will be okay to leave it for a few days, and the business will gradually normalize.

Time flies like a white horse, and it is a small year in the blink of an eye. The day before, Xin Ran posted a notice that it would be closed from today and would not open until the seventh day of the first lunar month.

"Xiao Ran, are you okay? There are a lot of people waiting for the meeting. "This kid is grinding, I don't know what to do, Aunt Xin made breakfast early in the morning and waited for her and Xin Guo to eat. After buying something to go back, she was not in such a hurry.

"It's coming, it's coming." Xin Ran led Xin Guo to the kitchen, and after breakfast, the three of them set off together.

"Mother, what do you want to buy?" The salted meat is marinated, and when the time comes, just buy some fresh ones, and buy melon seeds and candies. Let's see what's new.

"Let's see." Aunt Xin didn't know that in previous years, her family was poor and couldn't afford anything, so she could eat it for a long time if she weighed a little meat pickle.

Although it is a small year, there are many vendors on the street, and everyone wants to make some money in the last few days, and work hard to earn their families.

Enthusiastic hawkers, some noisy small bazaars, Xin Ran stood on the stone bridge as if he saw the image of the Qingming Riverside Map moving.

I went back and forth, bought some snacks for children, and a few beautiful bracelets, all wrapped in crystals, shiny, and even liked Xinguo. She bought a chain to hang on the outside of his clothes.

"Thank you, sister, sister is so nice!" Xin Guo smiled, he really liked it, the blue crystal, it seemed to be moving inside.

Aunt Xin didn't buy anything in the end, she didn't lack anything, she bought all the food for the family a few days ago, this time it was just to take a look. When she returned to the door, Father Li had already come, she loaded her things into the carriage and locked the door to go back for the New Year.
