Before dawn on the second day, Cai knocked on the door. As soon as the spring returns, the door was opened, and a jar with a big head was faced.

She couldn't help yawning and said with a smile: "Sister Cai, don't be in a hurry, you are early in the morning, can you rest assured that Xiaobao is home alone?" ”

"It's okay, just drop me and go."

Cai grinned and put the jar in her hand, last night she ran to Caijia Village overnight, and after explaining the situation to her mother, her mother was a cheerful person, and immediately filled her with a jar of brown sugar, and refused to ask for a penny.

I didn't know how to help this widowed girl before, but now that she has a way, she is willing to give up anything, not to mention just some brown sugar.

In addition to brown sugar, her wife also gave a pile of brown sugar rough paper, the old man who has been doing business for many years thought thoughtfully, not only to pretend to be sold in small portions, this paper is indispensable.

"I'll put the sugar here, you don't have to do it, let's put it together when it's dawn." Cai's face was happy, and after running a few steps, he turned his head and shouted: "My mother filled me with some steamed buns yesterday, and I steamed them on the stove, so don't make breakfast!" ”

Chungui nodded helplessly, she knew that Cai's would be so excited, she should have told her earlier.

Even if she was woken up, she didn't plan to go back to sleep, so she boiled a pot of sweet potato syrup first. There were originally more than 30 large sweet potatoes in the room, and those that were sent in the past two days were sent, boiled, and there were still about 20 left.

After this stubble is sold, some will have to be planted in the yard of the Cheng family's old house next door, but this sweet potato is boiled in sugar water in addition to daily eating, which is too monotonous.

Chungui stirred the pot, and occasionally turned his head to see a basket of coarse noodles hanging on the edge of the cupboard.

Yes! After grinding this sweet potato into flour, sweet potato flour can make a lot of things! What sweet potato cakes, sweet potato cakes, crystal cakes, and all of them are not eaten here! Eaten with sugar water, it is sweet and glutinous and suitable for children and the elderly. After the winter, the sugar water can no longer be sold, but the pastries can be served all year round.

Thinking of this, Chun Gui felt more and more that the land in the courtyard next door had to be reclaimed in the spring.

After the sun came out, Cai really took two drawers of steamed buns and came over, and Xiaobao was followed behind his buttocks. Chun Gui went out and found that Xiaobao was still followed by two brothers, Li Zhicun and Zhiyuan.

These two have had a tacit understanding in the past two days, and they are both entering the door one after the other. Spring returned to the past, and Cai's face was really a little uncomfortable. This woman has been spicy for many years, but there is still a delicate part in her heart, I don't know where she returns in the spring, in addition to being difficult to deal with young men, Cai's is also afraid that her identity will hinder others.

Chun Gui hurriedly took a drawer of buns and said, "Sister Cai, have you moved all your family money over?" How can you eat so many buns. ”

Cai Shi really breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey! Don't I want to take Xiaobao to eat with you, there are many children, and Xiaobao's appetite is good. ”

Seeing the two brothers, Chungui also said smoothly: "Has Zhiyuan eaten?" ”

Zhicun smiled innocently and replied for his younger brother: "I ate it, but I didn't eat much at home, and I didn't want to drink it after drinking half a bowl of egg soup." ”

Chungui frowned and pulled Zhiyuan over: "How can this be done?" How can the body be good without eating? ”

Zhiyuan's face flushed, obviously embarrassed.

"Then Zhiyuan will accompany Zhiping and them to eat together, okay? This bun was steamed by Aunt Cai herself. Chungui lifted the bun: "You smell it, it's fragrant!" ”

The child was not as cheerful as in front of Zhiping and them, and only nodded shyly towards Chungui.

The Cai family glanced at Li Zhicun, and somehow, asked casually: "Can you eat it?" ”

Li Zhicun didn't seem to expect to ask himself, touched his head and smiled: "No, I'm going to go to the street to buy some food, and I'm just going to work after eating." ”

Cai hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth, took out two buns and two steamed buns from the cage drawer and handed them over.

"Boy, are the steamed buns and brown sugar steamed buns stuffed with sauerkraut and meat enough to eat?"

Cai's eyes dodged, but Li Zhicun was stunned, looking at Cai's white and tender hand holding the bun blankly, Cai's face was a little embarrassed: "Ask you!" ”

"Enough, enough!" Li Zhicun hurriedly took it with both hands, and when he touched it, the hands of the two inadvertently rubbed it, and Li Zhicun was excited, and he bit half of the bun when he got up.

The aroma of the meat was mixed with the sweetness and spiciness, and he was hungry at once, and ate the remaining half in two bites.

Cai wanted to laugh but endured it, so he had to not look at him.

Li Zhicun still smiled, thanked him and walked out of the village.

Chun Gui didn't see the expressions of the two, and took the two children to the back room, and Cai quickly followed when he saw this.

Children love to eat brown sugar steamed buns, one by one with sugar water, Zhiping is changing his teeth, Chungui doesn't let him eat more sweet, only he is a bun, Zhiyuan and Xiaobao secretly let him take a bite of the steamed bun in his hand, and Chungui shouldn't have seen it.

After breakfast, Cai cut the rough paper into small sheets, cut the ginger shreds and put brown sugar in the spring, and the two of them wrapped more than a dozen portions before placing them on the stall together.

Today's stall temporarily has only a pot of sweet potato syrup and a dozen servings of brown sugar ginger shreds.

Cai's hands didn't stop, his face was full of smiles, and he only felt that life really had full hope.

There is no harvest in winter, and everyone finally has the leisure to chatter when the sun finally comes, and there are stalls here in the spring, which is more lively than other places. Therefore, not long after Chungui came out of the stall, someone moved a stool at the entrance of the village and sat down, holding embroidery work or other things in his hand, and sometimes said a few words.

Seeing a stack of paper bags piled up on the stall, someone asked: "Spring return, what do you do with brown sugar in paper bags?" ”

Chun Gui hurriedly replied: "Auntie, not only does it have brown sugar, but also ginger shreds." She held up the finely chopped ginger in her hand for everyone to see: "Sister Cai and I are busy with this stall, and we can even produce two pots at home, and the sugar water boiled is limited, so I thought of this method." I have divided the ginger and brown sugar evenly, and this bag can be used to cook two bowls of water. ”

"I save the effort of boiling, and I only sell this pack for a penny."

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law also came to take a look today, and when she heard Chungui's words, she hurriedly walked a few steps, nodded her forehead, and said with hatred: "Ouch! This pack can be cooked for two bowls, and it's just a penny? You are running to make money in business, this ginger pharmacy is dozens of dollars when you buy it, I forgot what I told you yesterday, right? ”

What she said made the gossips next to her think, and they all leaned forward, and some picked up the paper bag and looked at it.

Chungui said helplessly: "Auntie, didn't I say it, I also saved the effort of boiling sugar water here, and this money is also a convenience for the villagers." ”

She smiled at everyone: "If I set up a stall in the town one day, then maybe I will make a good fortune for the townspeople." Now they are all uncles and aunts who have watched me grow up since childhood, how embarrassed am I to earn their money! ”

The words that Chun Gui said with one mouth made everyone feel very comfortable. Li Zheng's daughter-in-law glanced at her and shook her head. How could she not know that there must be some benefits from selling like this, but it just has to accumulate a lot. This girl is honest in her heart, and there are fresh tricks in her head one after another, but she is not greedy. She couldn't resist saying more.

"It's done, my aunt knows that you are real, so bring me two packs today." Lizheng's daughter-in-law took out two pennies and put it on the table: "Don't say it, drink this ginger tea, my boys sleep at night with a pair of feet that are much hotter, and on weekdays, both feet are cold in winter, and it takes two soup women to have one foot to work." ”

"How else to say it's something from the pharmacy, this brown sugar is nourishing, and this sugar water is really powerful."

Cai's hands kept moving, cutting ginger shreds and wrapping paper bags, and said with a smile: "You said it's strange, they are all ordinary objects, why don't we think of cooking a piece on weekdays." There is also this grass and vine fruit, we eat it is bitter and astringent, and it is sweet and glutinous when we return to spring here, and my little treasure never gets tired of eating it every day. ”

The people on the side nodded and agreed, and they all bought two packs. Cai Shi looked at the extra dozen or so in the box, and the movements in his hands became faster and faster.

Compared with yesterday's hurry, today's hands are much freer, and in the afternoon, Cai's hands have been able to spare his hands to continue embroidering the handkerchief. In this way, Chun Gui remembered the food he was pondering this morning, so he said to Cai: "Sister Cai, I'm not busy at this time, I'll go in and try to make some food made of sweet potatoes, and you can help watch this stall for a while." ”

Cai Shi was happy all day, and waved his hand directly: "Go, go, there is me here!" ”

On this day, even if she only sold thirty or so wen, she could divide it into more than a dozen, which was much better than her embroidering a veil so hard!

Seeing her so happy, Chungui smiled and entered the door.

Pick out three large sweet potatoes from the inside and wash them, put one aside, and the other two are steamed in the pot, just about to make a fire, Qi You came in to boil water and saw her, and hurriedly put the kettle when he saw this: "What is Sister Chun busy with?" ”

Chungui pointed to the cauldron and said with a smile: "I thought about some new food, and I thought about making some of it, and if it was delicious, it could be put on that stall." ”

Qi You lifted the pot and took a look, and raised his eyebrows: "I'll help you do it together." ”

Chungui raised his eyes and said, "Have you warmed up a good book?" ”

Qi You nodded: "I also copied a book, and I estimated that it would be copied in two days, and I was about to tell you that Zhixing and I plan to go to the town, send the copied books over, and bring some back." As he spoke, he walked to the spring return and helped the man up, sat down and made a fire, and then picked out some slender branches: "Recently, I will go to the foot of the mountain to pick up some branches." ”

The young man in front of him arranged the trivial things in an orderly manner, and gradually integrated himself into this family, and Chungui's heart was warm, and the inexplicable emotion surged up, stabbing her with some emotion.

"Okay."

The two worked together, one to light a fire and the other to prepare materials.

She took a bowl of semolina and a small bowl of sugar for later, and the materials at home were not complete, so today she wanted to make a dish of shredded sweet potatoes and sweet potato balls. Both of these dishes use oil, and I just hope that when Cai eats it, he won't keep chattering.

The two of them in the back room were busy, and outside Cai's sold packets of brown sugar ginger shreds.

Outside the mountain, a carriage with "Guo" tattooed on the curtain was coming all the way.
