Five days later, the two acres of land have been taken care of, this time it cost two taels for eating, three taels for the workers, and three taels for the land, a total of eight taels of silver. Now there are twenty-seven taels left.

It's already September, it's the hottest season, and the mushrooms are gone. Now celery can be sold for ten taels of silver a month. It can be sold until November, and the mother can also have two taels of embroidery a month.

In the evening, Xin Ran and her mother discussed how to make two sets of clothes in the big set in a few days, and it was too hot in summer, and the clothes she brought over were all spring clothes, which were thick. "Mother, tomorrow I want to go into the mountain with Xiaoru to have a look, do you want to be together?"

Aunt Xin touched Xin Ran's head before saying, "Mother is not going, embroidering purses at home, you pay attention to safety, don't go far away." ”

Xin Ran nodded. I had already guessed this in my heart. My mother's body has always been very delicate, and the next time I go to the market, I will buy some red beans, jujubes, and lilies to make up for it.

Early the next morning, Xin Ran went to find Xiaoru, who is sixteen years old now, and has already made a family appointment, just waiting for tomorrow June to get married. The other party is from Yanghe Village next door, and most of the households in the village are lotus roots, which are richer than Bai Village.

Xin Ran first went to see the small fruit last time, and now it is red, and it can be confirmed that it is hawthorn. Xin Ran looked at the red and glamorous fruit, his saliva was about to stay, thinking about the rock sugar gourd in his previous life, he couldn't help but want to taste one, "Alas, don't eat it, it's too sour to eat." ”

"Huh? Xiaoru, do you know what this is? Xiaoru frowned in disgust, "I know, sour fruit, only the pregnant women in the village love to eat it." ”

"Don't you all eat it? It's delicious," he said, finishing one. Sour is sour, but it has a different taste, and in ancient times, I haven't eaten fruit for so long.

"We don't like to eat." "Oh, but I'll make it ready."

"Then I'll help you pick your delicious food and give it to me."

The two little sisters picked a lot quickly, Xin Ran was already thinking about how to make money in his mind, the rock sugar gourd was too wasteful of sugar, and it wouldn't be wrapped in sugar, so give up. There is also hawthorn water, which should be very good to sell. There is also dried hawthorn, which can be appetizing.

After arriving home, Xiao Ru still didn't leave, Xin Ran was funny in her heart, she was so old, she was so childish when she was going to get married, and she was still a child.

"Good little dye, I'll help you light the fire, hehe." Xin Ran looked at her flattering appearance, she really couldn't cry or laugh, she was really a foodie. Add a scoop of water to the pot, put the cleaned hawthorn slices in it after boiling, cook for a while, wait until the hawthorn is rotten, stir it, and add some sugar.

poured three bowls out, cooled down, brought a bowl to the mother, and when Xin Dye came out, Xiao Ru drank it all, looked intoxicated, drank it well, and poured another bowl.

The next day, the two went up the mountain again.

At the time of the market, Xin Ran went directly to Yi Pin Xuan to find the shopkeeper, "Xiao Ran is here, is there anything good, haha" The shopkeeper Sun knew that Xin Ran had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, he actually liked this little girl very much, she was diligent, and she was not greedy for cheapness, and every time she sent a little more dishes.

"The shopkeeper guessed correctly, I have a good idea, but I don't know if the shopkeeper is interested." Xin Ran replied with a smile.

Shopkeeper Sun was curious, but his face was light, and he only took her to the kitchen. Xin Ran didn't care about a little hawthorn, he made more than a dozen bowls of hawthorn water very generously, and several cooks also shared, and everyone liked it after tasting it, and the kitchen was hot and stuffy in summer, and it was refreshing to eat a bowl of hawthorn water.

"Xiao Ran, did you come up with it yourself?" Shopkeeper Sun was very puzzled in his heart, how could such a young child understand so much, the last time he came, he could see that it was this little girl who was talking at home, not her mother.

"How can it, shopkeeper Sun, this is when I met a traveling doctor when I was fleeing, and he sued me. I just saw this fruit some time ago and remembered it, but this time my mother was sick, so I didn't do it until I came to try it. ”

"Good boy, call me Uncle Sun in the future."

Xin Ran quickly negotiated with the shopkeeper Sun, people are kind, they will not take the opportunity to blackmail a child, and they have made a contract, and they will only buy the hawthorn sent by Xin Ran in the future, and they will pay ten dollars a catty.

"Uncle Sun, the mushrooms are past the season, celery can be picked for about two months, and this hawthorn may not be gone after October, but this thing can be put away, and if it is stored well, it can be eaten in winter."

"Each branch of Yi Pin Xuan has its own ice storage, and some of the ones shipped here today will be tested first."

"Hey, is there still ice? Then you can make hawthorn cake. "I have never seen it in ancient times, and in the end, Xin Ran sold the recipe of the hawthorn cake to the shopkeeper Sun and got fifty taels.

Holding the two boxes of pastries given by the shopkeeper Sun, Xin Ran knew that he really liked himself, so when he left, he told him about the general method of rock sugar gourd, after all, she didn't know how to do it herself, but Yi Pinxuan was different, rich and rich, and it was not impossible to try it, so she would eat it in the future.
