It is not a serious food, and the spring return is not willing to let go of lard, so he only puts a small half bowl of rapeseed oil. Rao is like this, Qi You was a little speechless when he saw it.

Spring returns to cook on weekdays, and is willing to put oil, salt and vinegar in cooking, but there are not as many as today, Qi You blinked, and after watching it for a while, he still sat down obediently and continued to light the fire. Chungui looked at his appearance that he wanted to say but didn't dare to say, and felt a little funny in his heart.

The children in this family are all the same, no matter what she does, they blindly go along with it, even if they are a little confused, they still let her toss. That was the case with the sweet potato, and now it was the same with her changing tricks and eating it.

Sweet potato balls are easy to make, as long as the sweet potatoes are steamed and mashed, flour and sugar are kneaded into a dough and fried in an oil pan to set, and it doesn't take much effort to make.

After frying a plate, she sprinkled some more sugar. The yellow and clear balls are attached to the shiny white sugar, which is the sweetness that children love to eat.

Qi You, who was standing on the side, beckoned: "Try it." ”

Qi You sandwiched one here, she drained the fried oil again, cut another sweet potato peeled hob into pieces, sprinkled with flour and fried it.

"How?"

Chungui also sandwiched an entrance, soft and sweet under the crispy thin skin, and the mood was much better after such a bite.

She raised her eyes to look at Qi You after eating, the young man ate this pastry for the first time, and tasted it for a long time.

"It's delicious." He unconsciously furrowed his brow. The thick noodles can't taste rough when added to it, and because they are fried and quickly fished up, they don't taste greasy, and people like him who are not used to eating sweets also feel delicious when they eat it.

Chungui smiled when he heard this: "It's delicious, you can take this plate and share it with Minmin and them." "As for Cai's side, wait until she finishes pulling sweet potatoes before changing the guard with her.

After Qi You left, she re-fried the sweet potatoes that had been fried once, and then fried thick white sugar and boiled them into syrup, and wrapped them all on the fried sweet potatoes, so that the shredded sweet potatoes were ready.

She divided two plates, and walked out of the courtyard gate with a plate of shredded sweet potatoes and sweet potato balls.

There were some people gathered in front of the stall, and the sweetness of sweet potatoes and syrup immediately aroused their noses.

"Spring return, what have you figured out again?"

The villager who had just paid a penny or two and was holding a small paper bag just wanted to leave, and then hurriedly came back and asked.

Seeing this, Chungui hurriedly took out small scissors and cut the balls into small pieces and handed them over, and said with a smile: "Don't mind, aunts, I just made these, you can taste them." ”

"It's all made of that grass and vine fruit, with this sweet and glutinous sugar water, and children and the elderly at home are used to eating it."

As soon as the sweet potato balls were put down, I didn't expect a few small radish heads to rush out of the house one after another.

Zhiping nodded, carefully pinched the remaining half of the balls in his hand, half-hugged Chungui's thighs, and asked earnestly in his eyes: "Sister-in-law!" Zhiping still wants to eat! Min Min wants to eat it too! Is there still anything in my sister-in-law's kitchen! ”

Zhimin, Zhiyuan and Xiaobao, who followed behind, were more excited than one another, and unconsciously smashed their mouths.

The greedy appearance of this group of children fell into the eyes of everyone, which was cute and made people laugh.

Qi You followed up and said helplessly: "Originally, I was practicing calligraphy, but as soon as I put this ball in, I ate it one by one." ”

Chungui shook his head with a smile, handed over another plate of shredded sweet potatoes in his hand, and when Zhiping saw this, he hurriedly stuffed the half of the balls in his hand into his mouth, puffed out his mouth, and took the plate with both hands.

The crystal clear syrup shreds on the plate under the sun have solidified, Zhiping turned around and handed it to Zhimin, several children broke off a piece one by one, licked a few bites and then ate it, compared to meatballs, this shredded sweet potato is sweeter and more in line with the taste of children.

Sure enough, even their eyes lit up when they ate them.

Seeing that they were eating so happily, Chun Gui didn't care about Zhiping's newly changed teeth for the time being.

The children ate happily, and the adults who received the sweet potato balls were also surprised.

"Is this grass vine fruit still doing this? It's fluffy and fluffy, but it's much better than ordinary pastries, and it's the first time I've eaten it. Cai was full of praise after eating one.

"If this is seen by that kid in my family, it won't be turned upside down, spring return, your hands are amazing, and that plate is also made of grass vine fruit?" Someone pointed to the shredded sweet potato in Zhiping's hand.

Chungui nodded, and also led to the topic: "Aunts, you have to eat this shredded sweet potato immediately after it is done, and it will be hard and difficult to eat after a long time, so it will relieve the children's cravings." It's not as good as this sweet potato ball, which can be stored for a long time. ”

"In a few days, I will put these sweet potato balls into this stall together, two pennies a penny, and if the aunts are happy, they will buy two for the children in the family to satisfy their hunger."

There are two pennies, one is the size of half a fist of a child, and everyone looks at it, but they don't feel that they have lost anything.

However, someone persuaded two sentences: "Spring return, this pastry is novel, you might as well go to the town to sell it, Sensei said that there are two pennies, and I estimate that some people will buy two pennies." ”

Chun Gui's heart warmed: "Thank you, auntie, it's just that I don't have many grass and vines here, and this stall will be almost the same when it starts spring." ”

After speaking, she pointed to the courtyard of the old house of the Cheng family next door, looked at Qi You and said: "I told Qi You not long ago, when the spring begins, I will open two plots of land and plant some grass and vine fruits. ”

After hearing this, everyone nodded: "That's fine." ”

A woman who loves sweets said, "Girl, if there is more grass and vine fruit, sell it to me, and I will also go home and make some of your silk-drawn sweet potatoes." ”

How can Chungui not agree: "Okay, auntie, when the time comes, I will also tell you about the method of pulling shredded sweet potatoes." If you have children at home, if you want to eat, I will teach them! ”

So that these people returned satisfied.

Chungui turned his head to look at the children who were eating sweet potatoes, shook his head and smiled.

She pouted at Qi You, who was standing quietly, and whispered, "There is still a plate in the kitchen, you and Zhixing shared it." ”

She smiled slyly, then turned around and helped Cai clean up the stall. The sun is about to set, and today is almost sold.

Qi You blinked, looked at the spring return for a while, turned his head to look at a few children, and also smiled.

Cai piled a stack of copper coins into the money bag and whispered: "I have counted from the morning to the present, we have sold more than 20 packs of brown sugar and ginger shreds today, and this pot of sweet potato syrup has also been sold out, and there are 54 Wen in it!" ”

Chun Gui calculated the cost carefully, and there was no loss compared to yesterday, with Cai's looking at this stall, she was much easier than yesterday. This method of selling in small portions is quite reliable.

"This stall will be entrusted to Sister Cai to take care of it more in the future, and I will think about some food in the house, what do you think?"

Cai's face was open-minded: "Cheng, I'm embroidering a handkerchief while looking at the stall, and I'm earning double money, so you can stay in it with peace of mind." "Cai's own thoughts, although Chungui is named as the sister-in-law of the Liu family, but in the end she is not married, if there is a creation that can find another one, then it is better to show up less now.

She didn't say this, but she went through it again in her heart, and she should have said the words of spring return.

Several children squatted on the ground to share food, Qi You stepped forward and picked up the empty cauldron and entered the house, and Chungui and Cai were also about to enter the house after cleaning up the stall together.

At the end of the mountain road, there was suddenly a faint sound of horses' hooves, and Chungui subconsciously got up and looked at the entrance of the village.

A two-horse carriage with a blue curtain was coming unhurriedly from the other side of the mountain. Seeing the carriage, Chungui's heart tightened, and the last time she saw the carriage, Cheng Tianbao brought someone to sell Qi You, how could she not panic.

Her eyelids skipped a beat, and the slightest sense of urgency in her heart fell down one by one.

Seeing that she had stopped, Cai Shi also looked forward, and hurriedly said "ouch" at this look.

"A troika? Who in our village has such rich relatives who can afford to sit in a troika? ”

Chungui frowned, there was a man sitting in front of the carriage, and when he got closer, the word "Guo" on the carriage curtain became clear. In front of the carriage was a middle-aged man dressed in a blue cotton coat, although it was a cotton suit, the neckline was embroidered with totemic dark lines, echoing the Guo character embroidered on the carriage curtain. It's about the appearance of a rich housekeeper.

Outer part?

The carriage drew closer and closer until it came to a stop at the old tree at the entrance of the village.

The Guo family? Chungui's mind suddenly flashed Miss Guo in the mouth of the shopkeeper when he went to the street that day.

Isn't this really looking for her?

She looked at the carriage after it stopped, the middle-aged man who was driving the carriage stood quietly aside, looking a little wrong, and the curtain in front of the carriage was lifted by a pair of hands.

There was a little girl in a light cyan dress with a bun on it, and the girl looked left and right as soon as she came, and her eyes lit up after returning from the spring, and she immediately trotted over.

Cai couldn't help but turn his head to look at her, and Chungui patted her hand to soothe her. This little girl looks like a personal maid, maybe she really came to find her.

"This sister, dare to ask if this is Miss Yue's home? We belong to the Guo family in the town, and our young lady is talking to Miss Yue about a business! ”

The little girl's clever appearance is ingenious, and her crisp voice listens to people's comfort, and she reports her home when she comes up to avoid panic, and she looks like she has been educated.

Cai: "Spring return, this is here to find you?" ”

The little girl's face was overjoyed when she saw this, and she hurriedly blessed the spring and blessed her: "Miss Yue, we were introduced by the shopkeeper Qi in the town, just call me Xiaoyue, the above is my young lady, I don't know if it is convenient for you now?" ”

Chungui hooked the corners of his mouth: "I know why your young lady is here, if it is getting dark today, if you don't dislike it, go to the house and sit for a while." ”

The little girl was blessed and thanked, turned her head and trotted to the carriage and said something. The middle-aged man who swept to the carriage frowned. The uncle in charge looked evasive, as if he didn't want to look at her. She thought about it carefully, since she came here until now, she really has never seen this person, could it be that this steward can't see the young lady of the family come out to talk to her peasant woman about business?

Chungui guessed wildly, turned her head and saw that Cai's face was full of uneasiness, Cai's first time she saw this meeting, her confidence weakened a little, she lowered her head and said: "Sister Cai, don't panic, this Miss Guo is here to talk to me about serious business, it's not a bad thing." ”

Cai nodded and had no choice but to remain silent. Seeing this, several children eating shredded sweet potatoes had already stopped moving, and stood beside Chungui and looked at the front cautiously.

After a while, a little girl with a gauze hat, a light-colored skirt, and a red cloak came down from the carriage, and she didn't look very old. Chungui sighed in his heart that the merchant who was born was indeed different from the girls born here. The girl here embroiders handkerchiefs all day long to earn money for the family, and this young lady of the Guo family is already looking for business opportunities everywhere.

She was about to take a few steps forward to greet her, but she didn't expect Qi You's vigilant voice to suddenly come from behind her.

"Cheng Tianbao called you here again?!"

It was too late to turn his head when he returned to spring, Qi You had already walked a few steps quickly, stepped forward to hold her behind him, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of the carriage with a cold face.
