On the second day, I got up early in the morning, and the two cauldrons were boiling sweet potatoes that had been peeled and cut into small pieces. Not long after the sweet potatoes were boiled soft, several children got up one after another, and the spring return had already prepared breakfast, and a few people took out a few sweet potatoes from the stove, lined up to serve porridge from the crockpot, and after eating, they washed the dishes and chopsticks and helped to do things by themselves.

The weather was fine, and Chungui pulled out a wooden board in the yard, washed and dried it in the small pool, and gestured with his hands to write a few words. If you want to set up this stall, you have to choose a good name first. It's a pity that this board is a little small, and the characters have to be written smaller.

Qi You was half-squatting to distinguish a few ripe radishes in the ground, and after distinguishing them, he dug them out. The day before yesterday, I said that if you can't finish eating the radish, you can eat it after making pickled radish.

"Qi You, you can help me think of a name and write it on this board."

Qi You turned his head and saw that she was hugging such a small board, so he got up and smiled: "You wait a while." ”

As he spoke, he trotted into the house, and Chungui frowned again and looked at the plank in his hand, which was a little dissatisfied.

After a while, Qi You ran out, holding a wooden board that was twice as big as her hand.

Chungui stared in surprise, Qi You straightened his backhand, and it was written in block letters: Chungui sugar water.

Seeing her blush: "Why did you come up with such a name?" ”

Qi You smiled obviously: "In this way, everyone will know at a glance that this is Sister Chun's sugar water stall." ”

Chun Gui said so, but she was very satisfied with this board, she took it and touched it: "You prepared it last night?" ”

Qi You smiled and said nothing.

This spring returned to look at it, and Zhixing next door suddenly shouted: "Qi You! Come and carry it for me! ”

Chun Gui hurriedly looked up, and saw that Zhixing was holding an iron shelf, staggering out of the old house of the Cheng family next door, Qi You ran over, and the two of them carried it left and right.

This iron frame was long and square, tightly surrounded on three sides, and in the middle were two round empty rings, both of which were empty underneath. There are two pots on top and a hot stove on the bottom, just right.

Qi You took a small rope and fixed the wooden board to the iron shelf, just like the wonton stall in the market.

After Qi You finished doing this, he said to her: "My father set up a stall for a while when he was young, and after I was born, I returned to the village to farm. ”

Chungui's heart warmed, she only mentioned it last night, and the two children prepared everything they should prepare.

The two of them lit a small stove again, and put the pot with a whole pot of sweet potatoes on the iron shelf.

There is no need to do anything in this spring return, just reminding them on the side.

The family was very busy, and Cai and Li Zhigao bumped into each other on the way, and both of them were going to the entrance of the village with their children. Cai glanced at the tall man on the side, and hurriedly avoided looking at him. Li Zhicun is twenty years old, although he is four years younger than her, he is also a serious man unmarried. She is a person who has lost her husband, although she is usually spicy, but she can't be provoked in front of the door, so she hurriedly slowed down with her children.

She wanted to avoid it, but she didn't want Li Zhicun to stop her in a foolish way: "Sister-in-law Cai, you also take the child to Sister Chungui?" ”

Cai's heart "ouch", hasn't this person been taught seriously at home, don't lean in front of a woman who has no husband when he's older. She hurriedly took Xiaobao forward and pulled out a smile: "Yes, we Xiaobao and Zhiping are used to reading and reading together." ”

She really didn't think wrong, Li Zhicun was a person who was pulled by his grandmother, his mother was unreliable and didn't teach anything at all, he was a simple child since he was a child, and he did carpentry when he was older, so he was not as clever as his second brother going up and down the mountain. This is not the age of twenty, and no one introduces the girl.

Li Zhicun heard her say this, and hurriedly said: "Coincidentally, it's just the same." ”

Cai's breath was almost choked, this is for people to see, maybe it can be passed on! She smiled hesitantly, but Li Zhicun had already covered his head and led the child forward, and when he saw that she didn't come up, he turned his head and looked at her suspiciously.

For the sake of the child, Cai's delicate newlywed woman has been spicy for seven or eight years, but now she is at a loss for the first time, so she has to follow behind helplessly with her child.

It is much easier for children to make friends, adults still keep their distance, and Zhiyuan and Xiaobao have already looked at each other several times.

When the two of them walked to the entrance of the village with the child, Cai Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and regardless of Li Zhicun, he led Xiaobao up quickly.

"Oops! Spring return, have you set it up so early? ”

Chungui deliberately let Zhixing and Qi You move to the gate of the courtyard, two steaming pots, one boiling brown sugar ginger tea, one boiling with more sweet potatoes, Qi You took a small note and wrote a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea and a bowl of sweet potato sugar water, each inserted a small board in front of the pot and pasted it, and those who knew the words knew it at a glance.

The spring return also did not let a few children call the grass vine fruit grass vine fruit, and they were all called sweet potatoes. Although they are puzzled, the family has always been in charge, and what she says is what it is.

Last night, Village Chief Liu said that she wanted her to set the price with the intention of making money, but she thought that the people in these four towns and eight villages were also shallow, so she didn't set a high price.

Cai and Li Zhicun came together, Chun Gui didn't notice anything, only recruited the two children, each of them fed a bowl of sweet potato syrup first, and shouted inside: "Zhiping, Zhimin!" Come out, Xiaobao and Zhiyuan are here! ”

Two children ran out of it, and Zhiping smiled and brought the two little friends over: "Sister-in-law! The sun is out, let's practice calligraphy and endorsement in the yard, okay! ”

Chungui shook his head: "No, it hurts your eyes." ”

Zhiping pouted: "Okay." ”

"But endorsement can."

He was immediately happy again.

Zhiyuan and Xiaobao were led in by him one by one.

Chungui put the bowls that the two children had drunk clean into a large wooden barrel on the side, and took out two bowls from the other wooden barrel and filled them with brown sugar ginger tea.

"I have only grown this sweet potato for one season, you two adults don't have to be afraid of spicy, just drink this ginger tea."

Li Zhicun and Cai's were not screwed up, and they hurriedly took the drink. Cai's family does some manual work on weekdays, but now it is empty, and Li Zhicun has to do small work in the market for a while, so he thanked him and left.

As soon as he left, Cai's whole person relaxed, pulled Chun Gui and said: "This naïve young man does not shy away from suspicion, and he dares to come with me as a woman who has no husband, but fortunately there is no one on the road, this is going to be seen, I am afraid that I can't even tell my relatives." ”

Chungui wanted to laugh when he heard it: "Sister Cai, you also think too much, you both have children together, and you are both serious people, who would have thought of this." ”

Cai put the bowl down: "Hey, otherwise I'll take that manual work to you, you look at this stall alone and there is no one to talk to." ”

"Done! Let's be a companion. Chungui stirred the pot and said with a smile: "Just let Zhixing Qiyou and them go their own way, otherwise it will be too boring for the two children to sit next to me." ”

Saying that, he drove Zhixing and Qi You back to the house, and the two of them could copy the book together, so they also responded, and immediately called them if they had something important.

Cai Shi left as soon as he finished speaking, and when he took the needle and thread and came back to life, there was already a person standing in front of the small stall in Chungui.

When she got closer, it was Lizheng's daughter-in-law and the aunts who were good friends with her on weekdays, and this one was here to support the spring return.

Lizheng's daughter-in-law sent a lot of things over this month, although it was Lizheng's meaning, but she also knew that Lizheng's daughter-in-law was also guilty in her heart, so she opened a stall and came to support her scene.

Chungui no longer complains that she has not dealt with it, this is the way of the world, and she can't look at the people here according to her own eyes.

I was relieved when I figured out that Chun Gui didn't charge money, I thought that these bowls would not be charged, but Lizheng's daughter-in-law immediately glared at her: "You don't collect money when you do business, do you want to lose money on the first day?!" ”

"I heard Daddy Li talk about your sugar water, and I told my aunt that I brought my old sister here. These two pots look different. She leaned forward to take a look.

Chungui glanced at her helplessly: "These two pots have sweet potatoes added to one pot, that is, grass vine fruit, I read the name of grass vine fruit is not good, so I changed it." If you add sweet potatoes, you can't drink the spicy taste, two pennies a bowl, and this brown sugar ginger tea is a penny a bowl. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lizheng's daughter-in-law nodded her forehead: "This is brown sugar and ginger, and the price is set, so you can only return to the capital!" ”

Chungui smiled: "No, how much can you earn, auntie, the first time you drink it, you can't get used to this spicy taste, so drink sweet potato syrup, set up a stall on the first day, give you a penny cheaper per bowl, and I won't let the others." ”

Cai Shi also caught up, put aside the needlework in his hand, and helped serve two bowls.

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law also gave up, turned her head and said, "Today is my light, give you a penny cheaper!" ”

The rest of the people took a bowl full of sweet potato syrup, they were overjoyed, I heard last night that the spring return of this sugar water can nourish the body, and the little great-great-grandson of the head of Liu Village's family who had a fever all day was cured.

This is the miscommunication of the news, and it is rumored that Chungui saved a child with a bowl of sugar water. This is going to make Chungui cry and laugh when he listens to it.

The sweet potatoes have been boiled for an hour since they were boiled early in the morning, and they have already been rolled soft and glutinous, and they are sweet and soft in the mouth.

Lizheng's daughter-in-law was amazed: "Girl, this food has been cooked by you so wonderfully, I have seen the fruit on the roots of this grass vine on the mountain a few years ago, and I lost it after a few bites, how did it become so delicious in your hands!" ”

She said this, Chun Gui knew in her heart, presumably what the daughter-in-law saw at that time was a sweet potato that had not grown, of course, it was bitter and astringent, this sweet potato was difficult to cook, and it tasted soft and glutinous when it was steamed, and it was difficult to eat it if it was not in time.

I think that over the years, some people must have discovered this sweet potato, but they missed the season, or they didn't cook it properly, and this thing was thrown away. Coincidentally, she still took advantage of her, an outsider.

The surrounding people ate very comfortably, and the whole person was refreshed when he drank such warm sugar water in winter.

Lizheng's daughter-in-law took out a crockpot after drinking: "There are three or five boys in my house, drink some to warm up in this winter, you fill me with a can and I'll take it back!" ”

The two large bowls of the small clay pot could be filled, and with the first bowl, she collected five cents, and the other four aunts had a total of four cents.

There are children in the family, and they all say that they will leave a bowl, and they will come to pick up the bowl when they get home.

Chun Hui directly took the bowl in the wooden barrel and said with a smile: "Aunts, just return it after drinking!" ”

The first business was done, and Cai's sighed again and again: "I'm afraid that the two cauldrons are not enough at noon." ”

Chungui quickly covered the pot, saw that the stove was about to go out, and put two more pieces of firewood.

Hearing Cai say this, she was happy: "One or two pots is enough for this day." ”

Cai's embroidery stopped with a few strokes: "I can't see enough, other villages don't know, my mother's Caijia Village I told you in place, and that Daddy Li, I got your benefits a few days ago, and now I praise you everywhere, and the people of Lijia Village also estimate that they know your hand." ”

There's still a sweetwater village left, and it's the closest to here, so it won't take long to find out.

As it turned out, Chua's words were right.
