Songzi listened to the words of several adults, and suddenly couldn't stay idle, pinched his hand towards the doll's face, and said with an old-fashioned appearance.
Hearing this, everyone shook their heads and laughed, this pine nut is really a big ghost, and he is becoming more and more stylish in speaking and doing things.
It is said that the children of several brothers and daughters-in-law of the Liu family were brought by her, and the eldest ones were five or six years old, and they were still muttering about making a shop with her, and she was more attentive to Xia Xuewei.
This woman has to pay special attention to confinement, many things can't be eaten indiscriminately, besides, Aunt Xia can be regarded as an elderly mother, although Xia Mujin is very busy, but for Aunt Xia's food, she will make time to do it.
In the blink of an eye, it is already the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the cartoon cake will be baked as soon as they are one, and there is no need for Xia Mujian to guard the oven every step of the way.
This side is even more fried with cat ears and two seedlings, so they also take turns with Xia Mu Hibiscus to fry these.
Mingpeng and they helped to cut the cat's ears together, and the noodles were changed, and several other people helped to print cartoon cakes, and in this day and a half, the finished product was no less than 500 catties, which surprised everyone.
In the past, Xia Mujin did it alone, but now that everyone has come to help, he opened another stove and set up a temporary small stove in the yard for cooking.
Daddy Xia's skills are not bad, after Er Miao helped Xia Mu Hibiscus fry things, this meal will be made by Daddy Xia, and Xia Juhua will also come out to help.
In this way, early in the morning of the thirtieth year, Xia Muhibiscus loaded most of the finished ready-made products into the carriage, and then entered the town with Shen Muhan and Ming Qi.
Xia Muhibiscus has been tired and panicked for the past few days, and when she entered the carriage, Shen Muhan pulled her into his arms, covered her with the tiger fur, and ordered her to sleep well, Xia Muhibiscus was still dreaming of making a lot of money today, seeing Shen Muhan lowered her head, her eyes locked on her red lips, and suddenly, her head was closed:
"I'm asleep."
As he spoke, he was really sleepy, and in less than a moment, he entered the dream.
Listening to her even breathing, the corners of Shen Muhan's mouth pulled up a slight arc, and he couldn't help frowning when he looked at the full carriage.
There are so many people in the town today that they can't even get a fly in, probably because of the good weather, the villagers from all the villages have come out, some are carrying side dishes, some are carrying chickens and ducks, and some are carrying two buckets of fish.
Seeing that Xia Muhiscus was sleeping soundly, Shen Muhan was reluctant to wake her up, maybe because of the large number of people, the horse was startled by something, and suddenly raised his neck and roared, at the same time, the carriage also shook, but in the end it was subdued by Ming Qi's speed.
However, this movement caused Natsuki to wake up and fall asleep.
She opened her eyes a little lazily, and what came into her eyes was Shen Muhan's magnified face, and she was stunned for a moment, then pushed him away and sat up and stretched, and opened a corner of the curtain to look outside, and then said:
"Uncle, have we been here for a long time?"
Shen Muhan's eyes slid and said lightly: "Just arrived, didn't Ming Qi wake you up when he stopped the carriage?" โ
โโ
Ming Qi, who was outside the carriage, burst into tears at the moment, boss, if you want to please your future daughter-in-law, don't discredit me, this carriage has been stopped for at least three incense sticks, okay?
No wonder Ming Yi and Ming Peng would show gloating expressions when he was called out, it turned out that they were wolf bรจi annihilation, and they had long known that the boss would be like this.
Xia Mujin didn't dwell on this matter, looking at the crowded town, he lowered his eyes in frustration, and then jumped out of the carriage.
Seeing this, Shen Muhan grabbed her and took her out of the carriage.
"With so many people, there is a high possibility of squeezing."
Seeing that she was still looking at the entrance of the town, Shen Muhan was a little down.
But what he said is also true, many children have already made a cry of wow wow woh, and there is a series of quarrels, it is estimated that the adults scolded when they saw the children being squeezed and cried.
"Then let's put it here."
Xia Mujin bit her lip, a little unwilling, she did it day and night for a few days, because there were too many people to transport things back, that was not her style, glanced around, and pointed to the corner of the town.
Shen Muhan didn't object, but just gave Ming Qi a look, and Ming Qi obediently went to move things.
Xia Mujin brought a thatch mat, which she specially prepared before she came, but fortunately, there was a lot of dry thatch in the thatched hut where the brick factory rested, so she ran to make a thatch mat, and after laying the thatch mat, she spread a gray cloth on it, and then asked Ming Qi to carry the things up.
Because it is a fried dried product, she used a basket this time, there are ten baskets, and at this moment, there are four in front of her, which are hairy ears, cartoon cakes, and two flavors of noodles.
"Don't miss it when you pass by, fresh New Year's goods, try it and then buy it, just one day, the opportunity is rare"
Xia Mujin took the scale, and asked Ming Qi to buy some oil paper bags, asking for a big one, and seeing Ming Qi leaving, he clapped his palms and began to shout.
As soon as she shouted, someone looked at her, and then she came over curiously, and pointed to each basket and asked.
Xia Mujin answered one by one, but he sold a pass on the names of these things, and said that he made them casually at home, and he had not yet thought of a name, and let everyone try them.
As soon as I heard that there was a free tasting, everyone was very happy, and they really tried it without any restraint.
"Girl, how do you sell these?"
After this tasting, they immediately began to ask the price.
"The unified price, two taels of silver a catty, you can mix the scales, this thing can be light, a catty is a lot."
Xia Mujin replied with a smile, she had already thought about these at home, after all, most of them are countrymen, and their families are not wealthy, and they are reluctant to buy some New Year's goods when they come out to sell them during the New Year.
She could have raised the price, but the cost of these is really not high, and what she wants more is to make a reputation.
Hearing this, everyone did hesitate, but they all stared at this thing.
Xia Mu Hibiscus was not reluctant, and continued to beckon everyone to try it.
"Girl, can you bring me two taels?"
At this time, an old man in ragged clothes squeezed over with a cane, looked at the four baskets, and trembled and took money out of his pocket, and said excitedly.
His hands were wrinkled and almost unrecognizable, his nails were covered with black dirt, and the corners of his mouth were shaking.
Xia Mujin looked at him for a while, and determined that this was Parkinson's disease, this kind of patient would tremble uncontrollably, and his hands and feet were also a little disobedient, seeing that he took out a money bag that could not distinguish the color of the eye, it should be a shabby cloth bag, opened it tremblingly, took out dozens of copper coins and handed it to Xia Mujin, and the corners of his eyes were also moist:
"This money, girl, you can give a lot of scales, my wife has followed me for most of my life, this is the last time I bought something for her to eat, and it was also the last time she ate it."
As he spoke, the old man couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes.
Xia Mujin took the money, put it in her hand and counted it, and then began to weigh things for him, only to see her small hand rummaging in the basket, and turned out a small note like magic, and then said in surprise:
"Haha, uncle, you are so lucky, my family recently had a happy event, my father was happy, so he put a note in this basket, and told whoever bought this note today should not only give him one or two silver, but also give him two catties of this."
Xia Mujin said and wrapped the two catties of things that had been weighed and put them in the uncle's basket, and then took out another tael of silver and gave him another tael, and gave him dozens of copper plates he had given her before.
The uncle's mouth grew in surprise, but he trembled for a long time and didn't know how to speak.
"Uncle, go back quickly, grandma must be waiting for what you bought her."
The uncle nodded with tears in his eyes, and then knelt down towards Xia Hibiscus, and was about to kowtow, but was stopped by Xia Hibiscus.
This uncle should be over seventy years old, Xia Mujin is worried that her wife has bad teeth, and she has very little face, cat ears are thin, and her teeth can be broken if she is not sharpened, and the cartoon cake can slowly melt even if she doesn't chew it, I just hope he can accompany her on her last journey.
In life, there are too many life and death that we can't predict, so, in my lifetime, I can accompany as much as I can, do as much as I can, don't wait for the loss to think about making up, even if you ruin your intestines, it won't help to make up, and she believes that this grandmother, even if she really wants to go, will be happy and stable.
At least, although this old man is poor, he has always tied her, and even in the end he still wants to buy her what she likes to eat, even if this thing is worth a fortune, but in his eyes, even if he can buy a piece, he will do his best to buy it.
Sometimes, the most ordinary love is also the most precious.
When she flipped through her actions, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the note in her hand was blank, and they admired her even more.
"Hibiscus girl, it's really you, you kid, you have a good heart, you have to post your own money every time, my old man is admiring the five-body throw, I have lived for most of my life, and it is the first time I have met such a female bodhisattva."
At this moment, an old man spoke again, Xia Mujin followed the voice, and found that it was the old man from Dayao Village, remembering that the first batch of broad beans was still bought in his hands.
Although he was dressed in shabby clothes and full of patches, his complexion was still good, and Xia Muhibiscus greeted him warmly:
"Uncle Xu, you are also in town today, how are grandma and Xiaoxiao?"
She had been there to buy broad beans, and she knew his family very well, and that child, who was small, should be four years old by now.
"Okay, okay, now, I can eat enough for every meal, thanks to you, girl, if it weren't for you, my family would have starved to death."
The old man said excitedly, and his eyes were wet.
"Uncle, this is the ** fed by the family, and it is for sale."
Xia Mujin smiled, and when he saw how many steers he was carrying in his basket, he asked with a smile.
"Yes, there are so many people in this big New Year, I can't squeeze in, so I'll buy it next year."
At this moment, Shen Muhan made a color towards Ming Qi, only to see Ming Qi coming over here, and asked Uncle Xu how to sell this chicken, and then bought it all.
At this moment, many people in the town have been attracted to come, and when they saw Xia Mujian, they all asked when the orchid beans and wine and fish were there, Xia Mujin smiled, answered one by one, and then let everyone try something, and everyone paid for this taste.
This Xia Mu Hibiscus is also a shrewd person, as long as it is a person in the town, looking at the dress and dress, it is a lot of scales, if it is a countryman, generally only two or three taels, she will weigh one or two more, anyway, this two or two taels can't be seen.
For a while, she was very busy.
Shen Muhan was too good-looking, and after Xia Mujin finished setting up the stall, he warned him not to come out to help, otherwise, she wouldn't do it.
Xia Mujin is kind and realistic, and there are a few times when he finds the wrong money, but those people all return it, and they will make a few jokes.
In less than an hour, ten baskets are full, and a few hundred catties of things have already bottomed out.
Shen Muhan was even more powerful, and directly asked Ming Qi to resell the chicken he bought to Fushou Restaurant with Father Xu, and made an extra ten taels of silver.
By the time Xia Mujin was done, the market had already dispersed, and some villagers still had some vegetables or other vegetables that had not been sold out, so they squatted there and watched dryly.
Xia Mujin looked at them with great sympathy, but she could help one person but not the whole world, she only hoped that they could find a good way to make money by themselves and make themselves better.
After she finished selling her things, she said hello to Shen Muhan, and then went to the money bank to exchange the silver for silver tickets, and then went to buy a lot of things.
"Have you ever seen this person?"
She was walking back with her belongings, but was stopped by a man dressed as an officer and soldier, and showed a portrait-
