Seeing this, Wen Shu was busy with surprise, "Oh, the eldest lady has a good face, and she looks like a kind and kind person who loves her juniors, although my family's trowel is a vegetarian filling, it is mixed with meat residue inside, and it is much better than steamed rice cakes with dead noodles, and the uncle is going to work at the dock, so he should eat some meat oil." ”

The mother-in-law originally wanted to attack her daughter-in-law, but when she heard Wen Shu's compliment, it was not good to pull her face again, and she squinted her eyes while feeling comfortable and asked, "Then why is your trowel selling price?" ”

Wen Shu hurriedly smiled: "One penny, the eldest lady wants a few." ”

The old woman stared at Wen Shu's lanzi and raised her eyebrows slightly: "It's so expensive that it's not expensive, but I haven't eaten this white siad trowel mixed with meat residue, and I don't know how it tastes, if it's not delicious.......

Before she could finish speaking, Wen Shu had already obediently touched a trowel from the bamboo basket and divided it into two, "The eldest lady and the lady will know if you taste it." As he spoke, he handed the trowels in his hands to An Niangzi and her mother-in-law respectively.

Seeing her so good, the old woman was very satisfied, and unceremoniously took the trowel and took a bite, only to feel that the entrance of the woad was fresh and tender, and it was mixed with a little meat residue, and there was indeed a smell of meat when eating.

"I'm not lying." After a while, the old woman nodded, pointed to the bamboo basket and said, "Cheng, then pick up six ..... for me No.. Ten of them. ”

This white cadre mixed with meat residue and meat oil is not common, and more importantly, the price is the same as the average vegetarian stuffed trowel, she will buy more today, and save the lazy woman next to her from saying that she picks all day long.

An Niangzi next to her was shocked when she heard it, her mother-in-law bought ten, and it was impossible to bring them all to Da Lang, so that she could also taste two, thinking of this, she couldn't help but look eagerly at Wen Shu's bamboo basket.

"Okay, wait a minute."

Wen Shu responded happily, uncovering the old clothes on her face and about to put trowels on them, but when she reached halfway through her hand, she suddenly remembered that she had a temporary intention today and did not prepare oil paper!

At the moment, he couldn't help but look embarrassed, and stumbled: "Uh... That one... I was in a hurry to go out today, and I forgot to bring the wrapped oil paper, and I had to bother the lady to go back to the house and get the dishes to load.

When An Niangzi heard this, she was about to turn around, but the old woman stopped her and said, "It's just another day, but today this trowel is going to make lunch for my son and take it to the dock, how convenient is it to wrap it in oily paper." ”

Wen Shu was stunned, thought for a moment, and said to the two: "Auntie, wait a minute, I'll come when I go." With that, he chased after the boy who was selling cooking cakes in front of him.

"The little brother in front waits."

The young man who was shouting paused, turned his head and looked at her suspiciously: "The little lady called me?" ”

"Exactly." Wen Shu walked quickly in front of him.

"What did the little lady call me?"

Wen Shu bowed slightly: "There is something to ask Xiao Langjun to make it convenient." ”

The boy stepped back, "You say yes." ”

Wen Shu looked at the half-open wooden box hanging on his chest, and Hao Ran said: "I am in a hurry to go out today, and I forgot to bring something wrapped in oil paper, can I ask Xiaolang Junyun to sell me some." ”

The young man had already heard her drinking, and at this time, he saw that there was indeed no oil paper and other things hanging on the side of her bamboo basket, so he said: "But, I don't know how much the little lady wants?" ”

Wen Shu saw that there was not much oil paper hanging next to his wooden box, so he said, "Ten sheets are enough." ”

The young man nodded and handed her ten sheets, "Two pennies." ”

"Thank you, Xiaolang-kun." Wen Shu took the oil paper, handed him the money from selling the paper, and then quickly turned back and wrapped trowels for An Niangzi and the old woman.

The boy stood there and watched her smile on her face as she talked to her patron, a thoughtful expression on her face.

Wrapping the trowels for Mrs. An's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, watching them turn around and close the courtyard door, Wen Shu rubbed his face that was a little stiff, put the money into his waist purse, and sighed lightly in his heart: It's really not easy to do any business

Pressing the corners of the clothes in the bamboo basket tightly, she continued to walk forward, and continued to shout in her mouth, "Trowels, sell trowels, fragrant and meaty white trowels, one penny." ”

The young man who was walking in front turned his head to look at her again, and Wen Shu smiled at him because of the acquaintance just now.

The young man was a little shy, his delicate face turned red invisibly, and then he turned his head away, as if he was a little afraid to look at her.

Wen Shu secretly thought to himself, and said in his heart: There are still people who sell goods along the street who are so thin-skinned.

In a distraction, a courtyard door behind the young man opened, and a woman in green cloth came out and beckoned: "Little brother, come and have two cakes." ”

The young man answered the call, filling the woman with cooking cakes one by one, Wen Shu shook his head, bypassed the young man and continued to walk forward, shouting loudly at her trowel.

She made a total of thirty-five trowels today, and left four for her father for breakfast, and ate one on the way herself, plus the ten she had just sold, and now there are twenty left in the basket.

She judged it right, the trowels with meat scraps were indeed very popular in this alley, and she sold them at a good price, and they were sold out after only two quarters of an hour.

Touching the purse on his waist, Wen Shu rushed home, ready to report the good news to her father.

However, as soon as she walked to the entrance of the alley, she saw that in front of her charred shop, there were officials standing for a while, and a few people were walking around the shop, and her father was with him, occasionally saying a few words to those officials.

She didn't hear them say anything because she was a little far away, but it wasn't long before the team was gone.

Wen Shu hurriedly carried the basket home, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked, "Dad, I saw the official messenger coming just now, what did they tell you?" “

"It's nothing, just come and measure the store, saying that it is to assess the loss, and then pay the bereavement allowance according to the situation." After Wen Tai finished speaking, he turned his head to stare at Wen Shu and said, "I haven't asked you yet, where did you go in a hurry with the basket early in the morning?" ”

Hearing the question, Wen Shu Xizi took out the thirty yuan and invited the merit: "Dad, I'm going to sell trowels, you see, this is the money I sold." “

Wentai looked at the money on the table and was slightly surprised: "How much did you make and sell it for this money?" ”

"Thirty trowels, I calculated one, and the cost of removing firewood and labor is about 12 yuan, which means that I earn 18 yuan for this meeting." Wen Shu looked proud.

Wentai was silent for a while, nodded and said: "It's a good entry, although it doesn't make much, in the end it is a business student, and it is more reliable than you pretending to be a man to go to the four divisions and six bureaus to work for the work."

Wen Shu nodded in agreement.

In fact, she had the idea of selling food two years ago, but at that time, she may have been born and lacked experience, and the things she made were not satisfactory.

She secretly tried it twice, but when she saw that no one bought it, she was still lost for a long time, so she also dispelled the idea of making food and selling it.

Now if it weren't for the sudden change in her family, she wouldn't be able to remember this stubble, but fortunately, this time she was lucky, and she got off to a good start, which also made her confidence come back.

After asking, Wentai put himself into the work of knocking and beating, and now that the fire has just passed, it will be rebuilt later, the carpenter must be a sought-after job, and the Zhao family must be in a hurry, so he has to use it up quickly and send it back.

In the blink of an eye, the sun was setting in the west, the sunset was full, and bursts of cooking smoke rose in the sky above the north of the city.

Wen Shu came out of the kitchen with dinner, and saw her father wiping down the borrowed household belongings and putting them in the bamboo basket, so she couldn't help asking, "Why did Dad put everything away, won't he still use it tomorrow?" ”

Wen Tai pointed to the axe on the side, and said with a planer knife and an ink bucket: "No, I have already made three pieces, and the rest, you can use these three pieces to beat slowly, and it is better to borrow other people's things earlier." ”

Wen Shu nodded, "Then I'll pack some home-made pickled radishes, and my father will bring them over." ”

Putting the food on the table in the hall, she turned around and went into the kitchen again, took out half a whole pickled radish from the round belly jar in the corner, then cut it into shreds, added some sesame oil and chives and mixed well, and in a few moments, a plate of crispy and sour pickled radishes was ready.

Wen Shu came out with the covered radish and beckoned Wen Tai and said, "Dad, let's eat first, and then go to deliver something after eating." ”

Wentai nodded and went to the well to wash his hands.

The food on the table is very simple, a plate of stir-fried yams, a small plate of pickled radishes, and an egg drop soup is the dinner of the father and daughter.
