I saw my thatched house from a distance, because there was no fence or fence, it was easy to see Aunt Xin working in front of the stove. "Mother, I'm back," "Xiao Ran is back, my mother is cooking, there is cold water in the house, go drink it." ”

"Mother is so nice!"

"Silly girl."

After eating, Xin Ran rested for a while and got up. Aunt Xin may have gone to Li's house. Bundle the wild celery handfuls with straw and prepare to sell them tomorrow. Xin Ran gently picked the mushrooms, took out the small ones, the rotten ones, ate them at night, and put the good ones in the basket. Xin Ran is going to go to a big restaurant tomorrow to try, this thing can't be supplied, and it's easy to rot, so I can only eat it for a while, and I can't go to the quantity.

The mushroom soup and stir-fried mushrooms in the evening were warmly welcomed and there were no leftovers.

Early the next morning, Xin Ran and Aunt Xin got up. I washed it, ate two sweet potatoes and went to the big poplar. I vaguely saw that there were already a few people.

"Xiao Ran, you're here. Come, sit next to me. "Xiao Ru pulled Xin Ran to live in front." Auntie, sit next to Xiao Ran. "Xiao Ran, this is my eldest brother, called Li An." Xin Ran looked at the person Xiao Ru said, compared to most people, he was relatively white, eleven or twelve years old, Si Swenwen, studying in the town, this is the only student in the village. When people looked at him, they blushed. Xin Ran laughed in his heart.

There were two families in the car, and Uncle Li hunted a roe deer and five rabbits yesterday. There are also some home-grown vegetables, a few embroidery samples embroidered by the Li family, etc., plus five people, and the two baskets of Xin Dye just sat down.

After about an hour, it was already dawn and we arrived in the town. There are not many people in the town, and Xin Ran and them came early, and they quickly found a location. After placing them, Uncle Li sent the prey to a familiar store and sold it.

There were more and more people on the streets, and the vendors were shouting. "Come on, come on, look at the fresh cabbage, picked in the field just in the morning, tender and delicious." "Let's take a look at my dish." Xin Ran took out the wild celery and laid it out one by one. Sixty in total. Only then did he start shouting, "Delicious wild parsley, delicious and fresh, everyone come and see, I promise not to suffer."

Soon someone came to see it and found that it was a dish that they had never seen before, "Little girl, what is this, why haven't I seen it?" ”

"Auntie, this is the wild vegetables on our mountain, it tastes good and nutritious, you buy it and try it, it definitely tastes good. And there are many ways to eat it, you can stir-fry it, or stir-fry the meat, and it is good to have a cold salad in summer. "Can you really eat it?" How do you sell it? "Of course we can eat it, we eat it ourselves at home, just in time for the market, so that others can also try it." Five pennies a handful, one and a half catties. "Well, it's enough, give me a handful." "Give me a handful too."

Soon, there were only two handfuls of wild parsley left, and Xin Dye was no longer for sale, so I was going to go to the restaurant to have a look. "Uncle Li, we're sold out, and we're going to take a look on the street, what about you?" "Oh, well, we'll be waiting for you at the city gate at noon, and we'll be back early."

Xin Ran answered and left with Aunt Xin, and Uncle Li took the basket. I calculated the money just now, about three hundred wen. Thinking about what to buy. After looking at all the restaurants in the town, Xin Ran chose a more luxurious restaurant and walked in. Xiao Er immediately greeted him, "Two guest officers, sit down, what are you doing?" "I have something to do with your shopkeeper, please call us for something."

Xiao Er looked at the clothes of the two of them, carrying a basket, which looked like vegetables. He raised his eyes again and looked at Xin Ran, and led the person into the backyard. After a while, the curtain of the backyard door was lifted, and an old man in his forties and fifties dressed in dark gray muslin was made. Seeing Xin Ran, they asked, "But the girl is looking for me?" ”

"Hello shopkeeper, I have some food for you to see."

"Whew, what's that?" "It's all some wild vegetables from the countryside, look at it."

"We have regular sources for these goods, so I'm afraid we don't accept these." Xin Ran looked at the shopkeeper's expression a little moved, guessing that he might not be able to do this, and said casually, "If the shopkeeper minds, borrow the kitchen." "Looking at the little girl's sworn appearance, Uncle Sun became interested." No problem, feel free to use it. After saying that, he took the two of them to the kitchen.

Xin Ran looked here, there were chickens, ducks, fish, and a lot of vegetables, so he said to Aunt Xin, "Mother, let's make three dishes, I choose the dishes, you can do it." "Aunt Xin has made noodles before, and her cooking skills are good.

Xin Ran chose half a chicken, a little pork, and some dried tofu. "Mother, you make mushroom chicken first, then make celery roast pork, and I'll make fresh mushroom soup."

In about two quarters of an hour, mushroom soup and celery roast meat are the best, and "mushroom chicken will take another quarter of an hour to be ready."

"Boss, what does it smell like? It's so fragrant," said Eater A. "yes, bring me one first." The shopkeeper was already overjoyed when he smelled this fragrance, and when he saw that it was so popular, he couldn't hold back the smile on his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a new food in our store, and it has not yet been sold, so everyone is welcome to come and cheer when the time comes." After speaking, Shopkeeper Sun entered the kitchen with a smile.

Xin Ran had already heard the voices outside and knew that the business was done. In the end, a contract was made, mushrooms were eighty wen per catty, celery was twenty wen per catty, and the restaurant only accepted Xin Ran. It's not that Xin Ran is selfish, but that a lot of mushrooms can't be eaten, and it's not good if something happens.

"Uncle shopkeeper, mushrooms can't be put away, they can't be eaten for three days at most, my home is a little far away, can you **** to receive the goods?"

Shopkeeper Sun had already seen the predicament of the mother and daughter, and waved his hand indifferently, "Hehe, this is a trivial matter, there is a carriage in the store, no problem, I will send you back later." "Shopkeeper Sun likes this little girl very much, she is so young, she has to think so much.

"Thank you to the shopkeeper, we'll have to buy some things later, and we'll come back later." Shopkeeper Su nodded, and asked them that if they bought something, they could send it back first.

When it was time to weigh the dishes, the shopkeeper Sun gave a little more, and gave a deposit of five taels in advance, and Xin Ran and the others went shopping.

Xin Ran discussed with Aunt Xin and decided to go to see the embroidery first and then buy something else.

There are two larger embroidery villages in the town, one is called Jinxiu Pavilion, which specializes in selling women's products, and you can see that the store is neat and tidy when you enter the door, and there are pieces of cloth on the left side, from coarse cloth, fine cloth, silk, and a few pieces of brilliant cloth placed separately. On the right side, there are all kinds of embroidery, handkerchiefs, purses, and all kinds of incense fans. Xin Ran was dazzled, this is not a later generation of machine qì made zuò, but a pure handmade zuò.

The shopkeeper in the store was a woman, about thirty years old, with a small jasper, dressed as a woman. Ying Ying walked up to Xin Ran and said with a smile, "What do you need?" "We want to see if there's any embroidery?" My mother's craftsmanship is very good. ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he looked at Aunt Xin carefully, although the clothes looked shabby, they were cleanly washed, which showed that she was careful. The right thumb and index finger have calluses, indicating that they used to embroider work. But since I didn't bring embroidery, it means that I haven't done it for a while. Thinking of this, he took them to the back hall, "If the eldest sister doesn't mind, let me see how the embroidery is first, if it's good, there are a lot of embroidery." “

"Okay, okay, no problem." Aunt Xin is very happy in her heart, and she is still very confident in her craft. Holding the thread and bandage, he quickly moved, and in a moment, a butterfly appeared. Shopkeeper Wang was also very happy to look at it, "The eldest sister's craftsmanship has passed, and you can bring some embroidery home." A purse of five wen, a handkerchief of ten wen, embroidery thread with their own. If there is a large piece of work, the embroidery shop will provide it, and the manual fee will be determined according to the size of the embroidery piece. ”

The mother and daughter both thought it was good, so they nodded and agreed and signed the contract.

When Xin Ran and the others arrived at the gate of the city, Uncle Li's family was already waiting there. When the carriage arrived, it stopped, and Uncle Li's family was very strange, "Who is this?" What are you doing here? Until Xin Ran lifted the curtain, "Uncle Li, this is the car from the restaurant in the town, give us a ride by the way." Then the two families drove back.
