Chapter Eighty-Four: The Night Market

Su Xiujin was stunned for a moment, and saw Jin Da Niu open the discus pan on the stall, add a few balls of coal, and the little third son scooped a scoop of water and washed the vegetables he bought.

There are not many vegetables that can be bought for ten cents, so the little third son cut three taels of meat, bought two eggplant melons, and added two cucumbers. Three taels of meat is a small lump, Jin Da Niu chops it into thin minced meat, eggplant melon is cut into pieces, cucumber is crushed, eggs are there, Jin Da Niu glanced at Su Xiujin's face without two taels of meat, thinking about making an egg custard or egg soup. He put the crushed cucumber into a bowl and handed it to the little third son, who was quick with his hands and feet, salt and vinegar soy sauce, sesame oil and sesame oil, and his hands moved very quickly, and a bowl of cold cucumbers was ready in a while.

Su Xiujin took a look, and he was the most idle now, and just wanted to scoop up the water and wash the dishes and chopsticks, when he heard Jin Da Niu and Xiao Sanzi speak at the same time.

"Jin Niang, don't move, I'll wash it!"

"Lady of the proprietor, don't move, I'll wash it!"

Su Xiujin was stunned for a moment, and the little third son hurriedly grabbed the water scoop and said: "How can you let the lady wash, you go to rest, I'll be fine for a while!" ”

Su Xiujin couldn't, so he had to pull two red threads, take 100 Wen as a string, string the copper plates one by one, and occasionally look at Jin Da Niu, who is making a good meal, the 400 Wen money in his hand has just been skewered, and the little third child's bowl has also been washed, and Jin Da Niu has also served the dishes to the table.

Eggplant gourd minced meat, cucumber, a pot of egg soup, seven or eight pancakes, Jin Da Niu's craftsmanship is excellent, looking at it makes people move their fingers, there are three pairs of chopsticks on the table, the Zhuang family does not pay attention to those, and the little third son has always eaten at the same table with Jin Da Niu.

As soon as Su Xiujin sat down, Jin Da Niu put a bowl of egg soup in front of her: "A bowl of soup before dinner, ninety-nine don't panic." ”

Xiao Sanzi took a spoon and stirred the soup pot, the egg yolk was fished out, and the rest was egg white, Xiao Sanzi took a bowl of sour and said: "The owner is so good to the lady of the owner, I don't have a daughter-in-law who hurts, so I can only serve it myself." ”

Su Xiujin smiled, raised her eyebrows and said, "How about introducing one to you another day?" ”

Jin Da Niu also echoed: "There is also an eighteen-year-old girl in our village, who is the best match for you, I can help you ask." ”

This frightened the little third son hurriedly waved his hand, choked on the egg soup and said with a red face: "Don't play me, don't play me, San'er, I can't stand being scared." ”

Su Xiujin drank a bowl of soup and ate a cake, but she really couldn't eat it, Jin Da Niu said that she only ate half a cake. Waiting for the meal, the little third son put away the dishes and chopsticks, then opened the curtain and opened the door, this afternoon the rest of the quilts and blankets were rented out, and the pancakes were sold more than a dozen.

The little third son was happy in his heart, the tea shop didn't make so much money for three or four days before, but now for the first time, he saw that the cash box was full.

Removing the cost, this day net income of more than 300 Wen, half a half of silver, Jin Da Niu is a little excited, if at this rate, you can buy a yard in the town for half a year, so that Jin Niang can live in a new house.

Every June, July and August is the best period for caravans to transport goods, at this time the inns and restaurants are making a lot of money, but after these months, the caravan is slowly decreasing, and the business is slowly becoming bleak, especially in winter, out of the caravan of fur and cotton wool, other caravans are not going to go, not to mention that she heard yesterday that the caravan has a custom, in order to pay tribute to Master Guan, every October is not to go, this person has to eat, dress, there are so many empty periods in vain, guarding the empty shop, where to make money?

Su Xiujin looked at the lively West Street, many vendors walked out with great interest, called friends, and walked to East Street in groups, the third son was ready to go home, looked at Su Xiujin and said: "The owner took the lady out to play, and now the East Street can be lively!" ”

Jin Da Niu patted his head, there was no business at night, and it was lively outside, how could he let Jin Niang sit with him dryly.

"Jin Niang, when I clean up this, let's go to East Street, there are a lot of strange things."

Su Xiujin seemed to think of something and nodded.

The night market on East Street is also opened according to the period of the caravan's goods, there are not many things on the street, but the number of people looks lively, not compared to the daytime, most of the things in this night market are playful, and there are all kinds of strange things. The small alleys of Ningxi Town are lit with lanterns, and the red lanterns are particularly tempting in the dark night, Su Xiujin watched a few vendors hook their shoulders into a small courtyard with lanterns, and they didn't see it for a long time, Rao is Su Xiujin is stupid, and he knows what kind of place it is.

The traders wander all the year round, and there is little time to stop and rest, at most they stay in one place for two or three days, and the town of Linxi is small, and there is no place for serious pastime, only some women will do this kind of business in order to earn a few dollars.

Su Xiujin felt bored after shopping for a while, but secretly had an idea in his heart.

The next day, as soon as the little third son arrived in the shop, Su Xiujin took out a bunch of money from the cash box and asked the little third son to go to the timber shop on South Street to order a wooden burden.

The third child looked at the boxy burden above, the structure of the three layers, the first layer was separated by a dozen small squares with wooden boards, the second layer was a drawer like four large squares, and the third floor was larger, so he made a partition alone. The third son, the second monk, was confused, and didn't understand what Su Xiujin wanted to do, but what the lady of the owner ordered, he obediently accepted the drawings and went to South Street.

Just after noon, the quilts and blankets that were rented out in bits and pieces yesterday afternoon were sent back, and Jin Da Niu returned the deposit as promised, checking that the back was complete except for some dirt. Jin Da Niu found a fellow who went into the town to sell vegetables, and asked him to go to the village to bring a sentence to Granny Jin's house, and let the vegetarian lady go into the town for a trip.

Just about to close the door for lunch, Wu Bai came to the door with a quilt blanket, Su Xiujin carefully checked the quilt and found that there was a pool of blood on a quilt, according to the regulations, this deposit cannot be refunded.

Su Xiujin was not ambiguous, deducted 20 yuan, and only set aside 15 yuan for Wu Bai, Wu Bai didn't say anything, and when he left, he bought 20 pancakes and kept them to eat on the road. Jin Da Niu was sent to the gate of the town, Wu Bai gave him his hand, and said very gratefully: "Big brother, thank you for your help, if there is any business on this road in the future, we will come to you." ”

Jin Daniu hurriedly waved his hand and said politely.

Su Niangzi came near the evening, she was not ambiguous, this dismantling, washing and sewing are very neat, when drying, she pulled a few ropes to hang behind the house, Su Xiujin was not stingy, and gave her a small red envelope of ten yuan.
