Xiao Dalang took the watermelon in his daughter-in-law's mouth back to the house and put it on the table. I brought a kitchen knife from the kitchen

"Daughter-in-law, how to cut this" is round, where to go to the knife, Xiao Dalang looked at a loss

Xia Cicada took the knife, and his neat hand rose and fell. A thin, red-skinned watermelon was presented to them. Xia Cicada was greedy, first cut a small piece with a knife and put it in his mouth.

"Yes, it's delicious."

Xiao Dalang looked at this thing called watermelon, and looked up at Xia Chan, "Daughter-in-law, isn't this a round melon growing in the mountains?" Why do you call her a watermelon? ”

Xia Chan was stunned for a moment, she almost forgot that this was ancient times, and the people here had seen this thing for the first time. I have never been suspected by Xiao Dalang, and I forgot for a while that I was not the main master.

Smirked, "This is a wandering monk I met before, and told me." Huh,"

Xiao Dalang looked clear, "Oh, then I'll call my uncle to come over and eat watermelon"

Although this watermelon is small, but there are a lot of watermelon seeds, Xia Cicada will eat the watermelon seeds on the windowsill, ready to go to Wang's sister-in-law's house tomorrow to let Brother Shugen go to help him find a few more, although the skin of this watermelon is thin and red, but it is wild, Xia Cicada wants to use her profession to improve these seeds.

On the second day, Xia Chan asked Xiao Dalang to stay at home to take care of the house, and he and Xia Changsheng went to the town with Sister-in-law Wang's family, and when they arrived in the town to help Sister-in-law Wang set up a stall, they let Uncle Wang drive the ox cart to Dexuan Restaurant

"Little second brother, is your shopkeeper here?"

Xia Chan has been delivering goods during this time, and the little second brother in the store basically knows Xia Chan. Seeing Xia Chan asking, he hurriedly replied

"Our shopkeeper is entertaining distinguished guests upstairs, and we may have to wait for a meeting to meet guests, Mrs. Xiao..."

"Then I'll wait."

Xia Chan took Xia Changsheng to wait for the shopkeeper to wait for the stall in an empty seat, but she happened to be bumped into by the potatoes who came out to get something, and she was enthusiastically pulled to the private room on the second floor

"Childe, look at who I brought to you"

Murong Ye turned his head and saw someone coming, his brows furrowed slightly, "Eldest sister? ”

Seeing this, Xia Chan pouted and walked over unceremoniously, "You are really rude, I am also your savior, look at your attitude, is it like words?" ”

Murong Ye was stunned, "Eldest sister..."

"Stop, I see that you are older than me, a big sister and a big sister screamed, you are not uncomfortable, I feel awkward. My name is Xia Chan, you can call me by my name."

"Xia Cicada? It's a good name, it's just with people..."Saying that, Murong Ye deliberately lengthened his voice, provoking Xia Chan to stretch his neck, but he didn't continue

The angry Xia Cicada wanted to slap the table and scold. The shopkeeper on the side looked in a cold sweat, isn't his son-in-law usually a living person who is not disturbed and silent? What's going on today? Caring like a peasant woman.

In fact, not only him, but even the potatoes on the side were unclear, but even if they didn't understand, the two of them didn't dare to ask. Seeing that the atmosphere was embarrassing, the shopkeeper hurriedly spoke

"It's a coincidence, I told the young master about you just now, but I didn't expect Xiao Niangzi to come while talking about this."

"Oh, what did you say about me?"

"Hehe, do you remember the dried tofu you brought the day before yesterday? I tried it out at the shop in the county seat, and it worked very well. Today, I'm thinking of going to you to discuss an order."

As soon as Xia Chan heard this, he immediately forgot all about the unhappiness just now, and stared at the horse shopkeeper with bright eyes, and Murong Ye on the side looked disdainful when he saw this

"Mrs. Xiao is really a fan of money"

Xia Chan is in a good mood and doesn't have the same knowledge as him, "Cut, you don't understand, sister, it's not the wealth that makes her happy, it's the mood." Forget it, you don't understand, let's talk about the order."

The shopkeeper looked at Murong Ye awkwardly, and nodded with a smile

"Yes, because of the hot weather, there are not many orders for this piece of braised pork recently. It is also available in the county and the town. This dried tofu also looks like it can't be stored for a long time, so it is also served by two restaurants in the town and the city. It's a day to send it according to the amount of 100 catties, as for the amount of one catty, how about counting seven pennies a catty? ”

Xia Chan calculated an account in his heart, one pound of tofu costs two pennies, and two catties of tofu produce one pound of dried tofu, that is, the cost is one catty and four wen. The shopkeeper gave seven cents, so she would earn three cents per catty. One hundred catties a day is three hundred wen. It does seem like a lot, but now only the three of them are working at home. Just a hundred catties of braised pork is enough for a few of them to be busy, and no matter how much this dried tofu is, they will definitely not be busy, and if they want to recruit people, the cost of recruiting people will go up.

Xia Chan thought for a while and said, "Shopkeeper, it's not the first time we've done business. I won't come with you to make a fuss, how about another penny, eight cents per catty"

The shopkeeper thought for a while, then looked at Murong Ye again, and saw him nodding. He nodded in agreement. went downstairs to take the agreement written before, signed it by the two of them, and pressed it with their handprints, and Xia Chan got up and planned to leave

"Wait a minute"

Murong Ye suddenly spoke, and Xia Chan turned around, "What's wrong?"

"I heard that your cooking is good, Ben Gongzi is hungry, help Ben Gongzi cook a few dishes before leaving"

Xia Chan was stunned, "I heard you right, do you want me to help you cook?" ”

"Yes"

Xia Cicada opened his hand and "brought it"

Murong Ye was puzzled by "what"

Xia Chan looked at the idiot with an expression, "Yinzi, you don't think that the two of us are so familiar that we don't have to pay, right?"

Murong Ye looked like he knew that you were a fan of wealth, and looked back at the potatoes, and the potatoes took out a certain ten taels of silver and put them in Xia Chan's hand

"Hehe, Xiao Niangzi, my son-in-law likes to eat dishes fried with chili peppers the most, you just look at the fried few, the best is meat dishes"|

Unexpectedly, this white and innocent boy brother was actually spicy and unhappy, and turned around and went to the kitchen with a treacherous smile. In less than an hour, Xia Cicada made four dishes and one soup

"Chopped pepper fish head, diced spicy chicken, sauerkraut fish, back to the pot meat, and a tomato and egg soup"

Murong Ye looked at a few dishes on the table, a new spicy smell came to his nose, it was a hot day, but it was cold and cold in this room, and he didn't feel hot at all, Murong Ye ate heartily, and Xia Cicada drooled while watching from the side. He didn't know how spicy it was, she obviously put a lot of chili peppers in it when she was cooking just now.

After Murong Ye finished eating, the potato hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, wiped his mouth, turned his head and glanced at Xia Cicada with a smile, and then took the potato out of the room

It's really weird, so many chili peppers are not too spicy. Xia Chan stood alone and muttered. The shopkeeper smiled and stepped forward to talk to her, but Xia Chan was absentmindedly fooled

When he got home, it was almost noon, and as soon as Xia Cicada entered the house, he smelled the smell of rice, touched his dry belly, and quickly ran to the kitchen to help

"Da Lang, you've made lunch, I'll make it when I come back."

Xiao Dalang dodged Xia Chan's outstretched hand, and smiled gently, "Hurry up and wash your hands, it's time to eat"
