Chapter Forty-Eight: Stupid Fool
"What's the best way for that lady?" Zhao Laosan has never thought about these things, just like selling tofu, he honestly grinds tofu and sells it on the street.
Su Mi rarely saw his man's stupid appearance, and the two pear vortices in his mouth were very delicate, and he stretched out his hand and knocked on the man's forehead: "Husband is really stupid, I don't know such a simple question!" ”
"Think about it, who in this town need this mulberry?"
After Su Mi's reminder, Zhao Laosan seemed to have some eyebrows: "The most asked for are the pastry houses, followed by these largest restaurants, ordinary people, there are few people who eat this thing!" ”
"The child can be taught, so let's go next to the pastry room and ask, it's okay to raise the price of such a good mulberry!" Su Mi's eyebrows and eyes are crooked, holding her hair in a bun, looking like a little daughter-in-law, very cute.
Zhao Laosan was a little confused about doing these things, and only followed Su Mi with a basket on his back. The two of them went to the more familiar hibiscus pastry room first, and the shopkeeper, when he saw that the two of them had such good mulberries, Su Mi asked for all the baskets. also gave the two of them some freshly made hibiscus cakes, and Su Mi saw that half of them were sold after a while, and his heart was sweet.
"Husband, you can't just have the strength to do this, you have to use your brain!"
Seeing that his little lady had taught herself a lesson, Zhao Laosan couldn't help but smile: "What the lady said is that in the future, the lady will have to think of a way to do these things!" ”
Su Mi didn't hear that his man was teasing him, and he was happily walking in front eating pastries. Rao is in a good mood, this hibiscus paste tastes much better than before.
After a while, he broke a piece again and sent it to Zhao Laosan's mouth: "The shopkeeper of this hibiscus pastry room is also the same, he doesn't ask the price, he directly gave us this bag of money, it's really bold!" ”
"The business of this pastry shop is so good, the shopkeeper is naturally not short of money! This mulberry is considered good in several nearby villages, and he uses it to make pastries or dye flour, which is very good, and he is naturally willing to pay the cost! Zhao Laosan has been selling tofu next to the Furong pastry shop for a few years, and he knows a little bit about what fruits are needed here.
"Then this basket of mulberries, give us this bag of money, and he will earn it!" Su Mi ate with his mouth full of broken pastries, held the money in his hand, and threw it off to his man.
"Husband, you should keep the money!"
Su Mi is shallow-minded, she has never asked much about the family's money, and she doesn't want to ask. If she likes, the man will buy it back for her.
Seeing the red cheeks of his little lady, Zhao Laosan stretched out his hand and pushed: "Lady, this is your hard-earned money, you can put it!" ”
"I'm stupid, my husband is worried about all the big and small things in the family, it's better for my husband to keep this money!" Su Mi insisted on handing the bag containing the money in his hand to Zhao Laosan.
Zhao Laosan was very helpless, he couldn't cry or laugh, the women of other families were all going to die or live to take care of the family's money. But his woman alone will die or live, and she will give up the money in her hand.
"Husband, the biggest pastry shop in this town is the Hibiscus pastry shop, where are you going to ask for this big basket next?"
Su Mi is still not familiar with these shops in the town. I couldn't figure out the details of these pastry houses, so I could only ask my husband.
"The Li Kee pastry in the east is the most famous peach blossom cake, and this mulberry is not much. The Xunchun Ji pastry room in the west is the most famous for osmanthus cake and peanut crisp, and it is estimated that we can ask for some, we can ask. "Zhao Laosan has been in this town for a long time, and he is still barely familiar with these shops.
When the two arrived at the Spring Hunt, the shopkeeper ignored the two at first, and saw the full and fresh mulberries in the basket on the back of the two, and his eyes lit up: "This mulberry is good!" This mulberry is good! ”
But this spring search is mainly for crispy, and this mulberry is only a few catties, but it also gives a high price.
Su Mi held the money bag and dangled it in his hand: "Husband, I didn't expect to be so happy selling things!" ”
"The lady is happy for her hard work in exchange for results, and the rest of this, I'm afraid I can only go to the pharmacy and Wangchun Lou to ask!"
"This ...... What kind of place is Wangchun Tower, why have you never heard your husband say it? Su Mi carried the basket on his back, grabbed his man's arm, and walked in the market with great interest.
Looking sideways, I saw that the little lady beside me had clear eyes, and her eyebrows were pure and pretty, so she just whispered: "Wangchun Tower is a place for men to eat and drink!" ”
Although he had never seen it, when he heard his man say this, Su Mi understood. When I used to be a girl, I washed clothes by the river, and I heard the mother-in-law and woman say that some men, who were infatuated with the girl in Wangchun Tower, did not cultivate the fields at home, and bought drunk in this restaurant every day.
Su Mi only felt a little embarrassed, looked at the sweet and sour fish on the side, and hurriedly pointed to the shop: "Husband, I'm hungry, I want to eat sweet and sour fish!" ”
At this time, Zhao Laosan remembered that it was already past noon, and the two of them only ate a few pieces of pastry, and they didn't eat a mouthful of food.
"The lady likes to eat sweet and sour fish here?" Zhao Laosan took his wife and walked towards the shop together.
The owner of this shop saw that it was Zhao Laosan, who was selling tofu, and greeted him, so he killed the fish and went to work.
The two of them sat down and ordered two more side dishes. When it was served, the shopkeeper saw that it was an acquaintance, so he sent a green vegetable tofu soup. The two were eating when they suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Yo! Third child, I haven't seen you in a few days! ”
Su Mi turned his head, but it was Shen Ke standing behind him. The concubines of large families are different, wearing blue satin, covered with yellow tulle skirts, and combing the buns that are only popular in the capital.
"Miss Shen, are you coming to dinner too?" Su Mi greeted while eating eggplant.
After finishing speaking, I felt a little embarrassed when I saw that the man was only eating with his head down, completely ignoring Shen Ke.
"The two of them are here to sell mulberries? It's just right, our rice guys want to eat, and sell the rest to me, okay? "This Shen Ke came to the Zhao family with his mother last time to mess around, he had to be Zhao Laosan's concubine, and he dared to talk to Zhao Laosan even if he lost face.
"If Miss Shen buys it, she will sell it all to you, so that my wife will suffer less with me!" Zhao Laosan put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at Shen Ke in front of him.
Seeing that Zhao Laosan finished speaking, Shen Ke picked up the thorns of the fish with chopsticks and sandwiched them into Su Mi's bowl. His heart was on fire, his hands were clenched into fists, and his white nails pinched the flesh of his palms, and he was in pain.
"The third child will really feel sorry for his daughter-in-law!"
"My daughter-in-law, of course I have to feel distressed!" Zhao Laosan didn't say much, just holding chopsticks and picking up the fish bones on the plate.
Shen Ke has been wandering around this town for all these years, and she has seen a lot of men doing business in the north and south, but this Zhao Laosan has entered her heart.
"Go get me the mulberries!" Shen Ke said sharply to his portable maid.
The maid knew her master's thoughts, was stunned, relieved herself, and then walked to Zhao Laosan: "Strong man, miss...... Miss asked me to take the mulberries back! ”
After the maid finished speaking, she took the back basket on Zhao Laosan's side. Unexpectedly, Zhao Laosan pressed the back basket and said in a dull voice: "Miss Shen, I only sell mulberries, not back baskets!" ”
"Just give you money!" This Shen Ke saw that the man he thought about day and night was so cold to him, he only felt wronged, pouted, took out a silver ingot from the purse around his waist and threw it on the table.
Seeing so much, Zhao Laosan naturally couldn't accept it: "This back basket plus these mulberries is just ten cents!" ”
Shen Ke knew Zhao Laosan's temper, and he said that he would not accept it if he didn't accept it. took away the silver on the table, and asked the maid beside him for some broken silver: "Zhao Laosan, why are you so indifferent to me?" ”
After Shen Ke finished speaking, he sniffed, his eyes were a little ruddy, and he pouted and left the shop very unhappily.
"Husband, are you too fierce to this Miss Shen?" After Shen Ke left, Su Mi dared to speak.
Seeing that he had finished eating, Zhao Laosan paid, "Lady, do you still expect me to admit her into the door?" ”
Su Mi was stunned, knowing what the man meant, and carried the basket on his back: "Husband, I didn't mean that, this Miss Shen really likes you, Husband can speak to her gently!" ”
"In the whole world, only a stupid lady like you pointed at me to be gentle with the woman next to me!" Zhao Laosan reached out and touched her small and straight nose, and shook his head helplessly.
The two of them ate, and all the mulberries were sold. These two baskets of mulberries are more cost-effective than selling tofu for a few days, and Su Mi is very happy with the money in his arms.
"This money, when I go back next time, give some to my mother!" Zhao Laosan knew that his little lady was worried about her mother's family, and now her brother and sister-in-law were pregnant, and only her mother was tired.
"Really?" When Su Mi heard this, he raised his head and stared at his man with a smile.
"As long as it's the mother's mind, it's what I'm concerned about, and you can do whatever you want to do if there's anything at home, don't ask me!" Although Zhao Laosan's cheeks were a little clear, he couldn't see any expression, but every word was to put his mother's affairs on the tip of his heart.
Back in Zhaojia Village, it was the time when it was hot. Afraid that his little lady would be too hot, Zhao Laosan walked slowly, but fortunately, the trees were lush in this summer and could shade some of the sun.
After walking for an hour before returning home, he put down his backpack, fetched some water from his own well, and let his man wash his face first. Then he brought Jinpa, rolled up his sleeves, and washed his face.
lowered her eyes, looking at the woman next to the well, her white and pure arms were just like lotus roots, her chive-like fingers were brushing the hair scattered around her neck, her delicate and gentle cheeks were a little ruddy, and a pair of crystal clear eyes were turning drippingly. I couldn't help but feel pity in my heart, and I felt distressed: "After the lady washed, she went to the bedroom to rest for a while, the sun was shining, and I felt distressed when I looked at it." ”
Seeing that his man was so nervous about himself, Su Mi sneered, threw Jinpa into the wooden basin, paced over and pinched the man's face. The man's eyebrows twisted, and he grabbed Su Mi's small hands: "Lady, there are more and more calluses on your hands!" ”
