After everyone put the newly shipped things in place, the Jiang sisters told the old man Jiang the good news of Yao's return. After hearing this, Old Man Jiang said in a loud voice, okay, a big stone that has been pressing on his heart in the past few days has finally fallen to the ground.

Seeing that Old Man Jiang was so happy, Zhao Siniang studied the staffing in the shop, and then persuaded with a smile: "Grandpa, since your in-laws are here, can you go back to entertain them now?" Even if it's a little busy at noon, there are still eight people in the shop, so there must be enough manpower! ”

Old Man Jiang was very relieved to see his granddaughter so considerate. However, he still shook his head and said with a smile: "How can there be a reason to go back after only halfway doing things?" What's more, Lao Yao I know, he is a master who hates work, and he is reluctant to give up the few acres of land at home, and now he must have rushed back to serve him! ”

When Zhao Siniang heard about it, she had to give up. At this time, she looked at the few fish balls left in the basin, and said, "Grandpa won't come home, so take advantage of the time to help me buy a few catties of fish?" ”

"Now? Don't wait any longer! This fish, the later you buy it, the cheaper it is, and it's not cost-effective to buy it now! Old Man Jiang persuaded.

"How much does it cost to sell for a pound at this time?" Zhao Siniang asked.

"Well, it's not noon yet, and it's probably the most expensive of the day. The specific price depends on what kind of fish it is...... Take the most common fish last evening, for example, the older ones cost only a penny a pound in the evening, and now they are sold for at least three pennies a pound; A small one can buy three catties in the evening, but now you can only buy one catty at most. And when I went there yesterday, it was already time to close the stall, and Zhang Dagui thanked me for helping him solve so many fish, and also sent a lot of extra fish. Old Man Jiang said carefully.

Zhao Siniang listened, thought for a while, and said: "Although it is a little expensive, it is better to buy it now!" While I have some time to do it, I'll make some more fish balls. It's not to put it in the shop to sell, but to wait until the shop closes at noon, so I will take it directly to the town, so that I can buy the pig's water, pig's head and pig's trotters as soon as possible. It's too much work to pack up those things, and I can't get them back sooner! ”

Standing on the side, Zhao Sanniang heard this, and hurriedly said: "If it's for the pig to go into the water or something, it's not worth it to buy fish early!" You don't have to worry about those things, leave it all to the second sister! It's too late to get them back, the second sister will definitely clean them up! ”

Jiang Yue'e also nodded hurriedly, and said confidently: "Although it takes a lot of work, but with your aunt, there are four of us, just that little thing, I haven't paid attention to it!" ”

Jiang Shi also said: "I grinded the sweet potato pulp twice before and after, and the water tank and reed mat at home were all occupied, so I just wanted to grind some more and come back, and there was no place to put it." A few of us have nothing to do next morning, and it must be too late to pick up those things. ”

Zhao Siniang saw that everyone was so motivated, and said with a smile: "Everyone doesn't dislike those things for being dirty, smelly and troublesome, it's really good!" ”

"What's there to dislike? That's all money! We are counting on them for a good day! Zhao Sanniang said the thoughts of the big guys, including Jiang Xiaohu, who was sitting behind the stove, nodded sensibly.

At this time, Zhao Siniang saw that she had just come back from cleaning up the table, and she only heard a little bit and didn't know that the so-called Zhao Shilang actually nodded violently on the side, and couldn't help but laugh: "Second brother, what are you nodding?" Isn't that why you're willing to clean up those pigs' heads? ”

"Pig's head?" Zhao Shilang was at a loss for a while, and he didn't know why his sister said that the pig's head. Do you want him to clean up the pig's head? Those pigs' heads are really ugly as my sister said! Well, but he's a man, and his sister can do this job, so why can't he do it? So Zhao Shilang patted his little chest and said loudly: "Okay! From now on, all the pigs' heads will be mine! ”

Always bullying honest children, you're not authentic! Zhao Siniang secretly examined it, coughed lightly, and said, "I'll talk about the ownership of those pig's heads later." Actually, I wanted to get the pig water and stuff back sooner, because I wanted to cook them as soon as possible, and then leave the pot empty to make sweet potato noodles! ”

"What? Can you make sweet potato noodles? Everyone immediately asked.

In order to make this sweet potato noodles, Jiang and the others have been grinding and drying powder, and they have been busy for several days, and they heard that they can finally start making noodles, and everyone is very excited.

"Well, when I went to get the sweet potato flour in the morning, I found that the sweet potato flour was almost dry. If you dry it for another day today, and in the evening, it shouldn't be a problem to use it to make noodles. Zhao Siniang smiled and confirmed the good news.

"Do you need a pot to make noodles? Do you want to cook the noodles? Can this still survive? Zhao Sanlang asked suspiciously.

"You do need to put the noodles in a pot of boiling water, but you don't need to cook them until they are fully cooked. As for whether this noodle can be preserved, you will understand when you make it! Zhao Siniang sold a pass.

"Since it's for sweet potato noodles, I really should finish all the other work before the evening so that I can free up my hands to concentrate on making noodles! Okay, I'll buy this fish now! Old Man Jiang replied with a smile.

"This fish is selling so expensive now, so don't buy more, just buy three catties of fish back! Uh, better buy some more shrimp back...... Grandpa, are older shrimp expensive? Zhao Siniang asked.

"It's okay, now I should buy it at the same price as big fish, about a pound of three cents." Old Man Jiang replied.

"Then buy two more catties of shrimp! I'm going to make some more shrimp balls and send them over. Zhao Siniang said this, paused, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that there are no chickens at home, if only there were eggs, the shrimp balls made are more delicious!" ”

The speaker has no intention of listening, Jiang heard the little girl mention the chicken again, and his heart began to feel uncomfortable again, thinking: Wait until the end of the month when the two families are red, hurry up and let the child and his father buy a chicken and come back, and plug the little girl's mouth!

"Siniang, do you want to use eggs? We have it! Just now, when your aunt's family came, they sent a basket of eggs to our family. Jiang Yue'e suddenly remembered.

"Hey, my in-laws are so polite! Every time you come, you have to bring us something, it's embarrassing! Old Man Jiang sighed.

"Grandpa, there's nothing to be embarrassed about! When our business is smooth and free, let's buy something and send it over as a return gift! Zhao Siniang smiled and comforted.

"Okay, that's it!" Old Man Jiang smiled, and then said, "Since you are in a hurry to make this shrimp ball, then it is best to go back and get the eggs now......

"Father-in-law, I'm fast, I'm going back to get it, and I'll be able to get it in a while!" Zhao Yongzhong was still blaming himself for what happened in the morning, and when he heard this, he felt that this was also an opportunity to atone for his sins, so he volunteered to go back and get eggs.

Although this place is not too far from Jiang's house, Zhao Sanlang felt sorry for his father, and hurriedly persuaded: "Dad, you have run twice, you should rest in the shop, this time I will go!" ”

"I'll go, you stay in the shop to help!" Zhao Yongzhong was afraid that his eldest son would grab this opportunity with him, so he ran out as he spoke.

Zhao Siniang didn't think that Zhao Yongzhong would run away like this, and hurriedly chased out and shouted: "Dad, you don't have to bring all the baskets, just take those two!" ”

Alas, Zhao Yongzhong ran fast, and Zhao Siniang, who chased him out, only saw his back, and he didn't know if he heard it or not.

Zhao Siniang saw that there were few people on the official road at this time, and when she turned around and saw that there were only three guests left in the shop, they were a young couple who looked like they were visiting relatives and friends and a young merchant who came with a shelf on his back.

The couple ordered two bowls of sanhe noodles and a plate of stewed pig's trotters with soybeans, and it seemed that they had finished eating. And the merchant only ordered a bowl of noodle soup, and he was almost finished with the pancakes he had prepared.

Zhao Siniang estimated that for a while, there would be no more guests ordering noodles, so she planned to pour out the water in the pot for the noodles, and empty the pot to boil the remaining half of the small fish. After all, I will be busy making fish balls later, and then the lunch business will also start. But there are only two pots in the shop, and they may not be able to be vacated in the next time, so it is better to cook them as soon as possible.

When Zhao Sanniang saw it, she hurriedly scooped up the water in the pot, picked up the loofah and brushed the pot carefully, and said: "In the future, the second sister will take care of all these rough jobs in the shop!" All you have to do is take care of the cooking. You must be tired after a busy morning, so sit down and rest for a while! Wait until I've got the pot brushed and the pot is hot, and you'll come back! ”

Zhao Siniang didn't like to brush off her second sister's kindness, so she sat down obediently. I thought in my heart: I'll have to go and make peace with the three points later, and most of the morning has been used up.

At this moment, Zhao Siniang suddenly heard a slight sound from the noodle case behind her, and when she looked back, her mother had already begun to pour water into the basin containing Sanhe noodles, ready to start making noodles.

Seeing that the last three guests were gone, she pressed her two nephews on the stools and forced them to rest, and she began to wipe all the tables, chairs and benches again. After all, there is a limit to cleaning up when running the hall, and the guests will feel much more refreshing when they wipe it again.

Seeing the family taking care of each other and working together, Zhao Siniang only felt a warm current surging in her heart, and the previous fatigue disappeared all at once. Hearing Zhao Sanniang call her over, she answered with a full breath and ran to the stove full of energy.
