Chapter 6 Saving Your Own Family

Xiao Zhi glanced at the kung fu twice, and Xi Hongdou asked, "What's the matter......?" ”

"Not really." After Xiao Zhi finished speaking, he turned his head and left.

Xiao Liuzi took out the money at this time and handed it to Xi Hongdou, and said, "That person just now is the young master of my family, just look down when you see it in the future." And don't forget to add: "The temper is not very good." ”

Xi Hongdou took the money, and said with a smile: "In the future, if our family still wants to steam cakes, just find me when we go to the market!" ”

Xiao Liuzi smiled and nodded: "Cheng!" Leaving Xiao's house, Xi Hongdou hurried to the city gate to meet Xi Mu, who had already placed two bags of white noodles at Xi Mu's feet.

"Buy so much? These two bags also cost 100 pounds, right? Xi Hongdou was afraid that Xi Mu would not be able to carry it alone, but Xi Mu easily carried it.

"Let's go quickly, we have to be busy with the work in the fields!" Xi Mu smiled and walked first.

The paddy fields are dazzling when they are sunny, and when they pass by their own ridges, they ask, "The rice we grow?" ”

"Yes, we have a lot of fields, and the harvest of rice is good, and there are three crops a year, which is a little more difficult to fertilize." Xi Mu chatted casually.

The people in the village basically cultivate paddy fields, and it is not cold in winter, so it is good to be able to produce their own farm fertilizer, and it is difficult to fertilize all the crops of the three crops, and the yield will be reduced in the last two crops.

Xi Hongdou heard that her heart went to her heart, and she saw the rice seedlings in the rice field growing vigorously, she suddenly felt that this pastoral life was also very good, since she couldn't go back home, she would try to love the land now.

When she got home, Aunt Xi was very happy to see Xi Hongdou settle the money and come back, but she still asked: "Girl, when will you make such a steamed cake?" You didn't know how to make pasta before! "Xi Hongdou couldn't even make steamed steamed buns with noodles before, but this steamed cake is really surprising and unexpected.

"It's just random research, I think about it myself, but I didn't expect it to be done as soon as I do it!" Xi Hongdou explained.

Aunt Xi nodded, her daughter was originally smart, and it was possible to study it.

"It's such a good girl, but it's unlucky!" Aunt Xi sighed, the girl who has not been out of the cabinet can have such a craft, which is absolutely sought-after, and marrying into her in-law's family in the future is also a unique skill to support the family, that is......

Xi Hongdou was silent, and now the people in the family have to sigh when they mention marriage.

Xi Hongdou was busy making steamed cakes, and Sister-in-law Xi happily entered the door, and then went to Aunt Xi to talk.

"Really? Is it really that good? Aunt Xi listened to what Sister-in-law Xi said, and her eyes were bright.

Sister-in-law Xi met her eldest aunt in the field during the day, and then heard that the son of the eldest aunt's second aunt was also at the age of marriage, so she inquired, and when she heard it, this condition is really okay.

"The eldest aunt said that the son of that family runs his own grocery store in the county, and he is also born well, not crooked melons and cracked dates, the most important thing is that people still read books every day, and they want to test their fame in the future!" Sister-in-law Xi said: "But I saw this person when he was a child, he really looks beautiful, and now that he is older, it's hard to say if he is worse or worse, and we have to grasp the family affairs of Hongdou this time!" She wants to be the matchmaker to get the ten acres of paddy fields, but her sister-in-law is no one else, if she pits her sister-in-law, her mother-in-law can't tolerate her!

Aunt Xi nodded: "You're right, you can help inquire, you are reliable, don't worry!" ”

Sister-in-law Xi has a score in her heart, so she will go to work first.

This second sister-in-law Xi saw that sister-in-law Xi had already moved, so she hurriedly said to second brother Xi: "Your sister-in-law's hands and feet are also sharp, I have to hurry up, don't let ten acres of paddy fields be in vain!" ”

When Xi Lin heard this, he smiled: "I always feel unreliable when you are a matchmaker!" "My daughter-in-law is an anxious person, and she doesn't have any crooked eyes, so she can't tell the difference between the wrong person and herself.

Second sister-in-law Xi was speechless: "Look down on me, I will definitely find a good one to come back!" She remembered that she had a cousin in her mother's family, and he was not bad!

The second room of the Xi family's big house was mobilized for Xi Hongdou's marriage, but the people in the village basically didn't think about it, so as not to gossip about the people in the village, I really thought that the girl of the Xi family couldn't get married and was in a hurry!

Xi Hongdou devoted himself to researching and selling goods, although the Xi family also raised chickens, but the number was not much, and the milk in the steamed cake was replaced by eggs, and the consumption was more, and then the eggs were collected and stored in the village.

"What do you want so many red beans for?" The neighbor's sister-in-law Liu asked how much she could eat at home, and the Xi family was not short of eggs.

Aunt Xi saw that someone asked, so she said: "My family's red beans have craftsmanship, and the steamed cakes made have made a lot of money in the city, and I have made a lot of money in the market!" ”

"So powerful?" Sister-in-law Liu heard it and said: "Our family's red beans are also capable, and if you don't marry that Zhang family, you can't lose it!" ”

Aunt Xi was naturally happy when she heard this, and it would be good for her daughter's virtuousness to be known to more people.

Xi Hongdou's steamed cake sold better and better when it was in the market, and there were many repeat customers, and every time they were bought out as soon as they came. And the money earned is also considerable, in addition to the two rooms of the big house, there is a lot of rest, Daddy Xi calculated, and called everyone together.

"Hongdou himself has saved money now, and he said that he would marry the twenty-five acres of paddy fields, Hongdou said that he wanted to save it slowly, and he didn't need our family to go out." As soon as Daddy Xi's words came out, the second room of the big house felt the most.

Xi's second sister-in-law straightened her eyes and asked, "The girl bought the land by herself?" Still write your own name? Then he was elbowed by Xi Lin.

Xi Mu said: "The money is also earned by people's red beans, and there is no problem in writing the name of red beans." ”

Xi Lin also said: "I'm the same as my eldest brother. ”

Father Xi looked at the two daughters-in-law, and said: "I said before that I would marry Hongdou to marry 25 acres of paddy fields, and it is estimated that everyone has a plan in their hearts, and now Hongdou makes money by himself, and it will not affect you when he marries in the future, but everyone must also remember that our Xi family must be united, not to mention that my daughter is angry today, and which daughter-in-law and granddaughter will be angry tomorrow, then we can't let it, our Xi family doesn't engage in patriarchal behavior!" ”

The two daughters-in-law of the Xi family all nodded, and their father-in-law said so, what are their dissatisfaction with as daughters-in-law? And marrying into the Xi family is not at all a struggle, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and sister-in-law is also good, so they naturally hope that the Xi family will get better and better.

Xi Hongdou heard this and said: "In the future, I will also teach the craft of steaming cakes to my two sisters-in-law." ”

When Aunt Xi heard this, she said with relief: "Our red beans are also sensible." "This craft is not kept privately, it is left to the sisters-in-law and to the parents' family.

Sister-in-law Xi and sister-in-law Xi are naturally happy, if they learn the art of making steamed cakes, they will be able to pay more in the future.

Xi Hongdou is not afraid to pass on the skill of steaming cakes, after all, steaming cakes takes time and effort, and she can't just point to this idea if she wants to make money.

When I rushed to the market again, Steward Wu really came. As soon as I was far away, my eyes were aimed at Xi Hongdou's stall, and those vendors who sold their own fruits and vegetables didn't care about it, so they hurriedly went straight here.

"I've seen it before, but your pastry is special. The main family eats it and thinks it's good, let me buy it again this time! Chief Steward Wu said with a smile.

Xi Hongdou also had the eyesight, and hurriedly wrapped a pack and said: "This is for the chief steward, thank you for taking care of the business." ”

Chief Steward Wu felt that this Xi Hongdou was very understanding of human feelings at a young age, so he said: "There is no need for this, they are all for the master's family, and you are also good at this pastry, and this time it is also, they will be sent to the Xiao family!" "This time, I didn't even ask the price, how much I wanted.

"Okay, I'll send it!" After Xi Hongdou finished speaking, he happily sent away Steward Wu, and then took the pastries to Xiao's house.

This time I went to Xiao Mansion to be familiar with the road, and it was Xiao Liuzi who opened the door, and when he saw Xi Hongdou coming, Xiao Liuzi was happy.

Xi Hongdou was not stingy, and took a piece and gave it to the little sixth son.

Xiao Liuzi took it with a smirk, took a bite and said, "I feel that after eating your cake, I am no worse than those who are masters!" As he spoke, he took two more bites, and the pastry was really reluctant to swallow it.

Xi Hongdou was smiling, but the young master of the Xiao family came over.

Xiao Zhi came to the back door to sneak out to play, but he saw his own little guy eating other people's things.

"What cake can make your little Liuzi's jaw heavy? It's so unashamed to speak! Xiao Zhi said, he was unintentional, but Xiao Liuzi was so frightened that he hurriedly asked for mercy.

"Young master spare his life, the little one is to eat something good and get carried away!" Xiao Liuzi looked uncomfortable, thinking that he had said the wrong thing.

Xi Hongdou hurriedly lowered his head, I heard that this young master has a big temper.

Xiao Zhi came over to take a look at it and said, "It smells really good!" As he spoke, he also took a piece from the basket and put it in his mouth, but when he ate it, his expression was very similar to that of Xiao Liuzi.

Xiao Liuzi squinted his eyes and hurriedly asked with a smile: "Young master, is it delicious?" ”

Sure enough, Xiao Zhi nodded: "Yes, don't do it, don't do it, give me a plate in the room in a while!" Then he took another piece and hurried away.

Xiao Liuzi hurriedly responded, and wiped his sweat when he saw the people leave.

"I'm scared to death, I told you not to talk nonsense, I forgot!" Xiao Liuzi said with a false alarm.

As soon as the money for the pastry was settled this time, Xi Hongdou made another profit, and happily walked out of Xiao's house and followed the crowd to the place where he set up his stall. On the way, she saw a grocery store, and she was wondering if the pot of her steamed cake was not enough, so she went straight to the door to have a look.

The shopkeeper was a young man, and it seemed that the guests came to greet them.

"Boss, I'd like to buy a basin in the shape of a pot, is there?" Xi Hongdou asked, the square ones are easier to cut, and the round ones are basically not good-looking, so you can only eat them at home.

The boss was dressed in a scholar's robe, looking polite and slender, but he made a mistake and said: "The basins are basically round, what is the use of the girl if she wants a square?" "I wonder if there can be a replacement.

Xi Hongdou compared the size and said, "I want to be able to go to the steamer." ”

"If the girl is not in a hurry, our family can make it according to what the girl said, and this is the ......price," the scholar said, but as he spoke, he felt that there was a fragrance on the girl in front of him, which made him feel that he wanted to smell it.
