Su Jinyao recognized the Wu family, and she made a lot of trouble when she beat the three bear children of the Wu family. However, Su Jinyao was not stunned, she didn't feel that she couldn't go after a fight, anyway, she had money in her pocket, she was patronizing their business, and she could push the customers out.

Besides, Su Jinyao is now an eleven-year-old girl, do children still have grudges when they fight? What's more, the three brothers of the Wu family have never bullied Xiaocheng'er since they beat that time, and of course this matter is in the past.

When I came to the gate of the Wu family, the door was open, and Su Jinyao did not rush in. Instead, he knocked on the door first and said at the door, "I am from the Su family, come to buy a piece of pork." ”

"It's coming, it's coming." The response was a woman, in her early twenties, her eyebrows and eyes were quite good-looking, but her mouth was a little bigger, and her body looked quite sturdy. Seeing that it was Su Jinyao, the woman said, "It's the second girl of the Su family, just come in directly to buy meat, don't be so polite as you knock on the door." ”

Su Jinyao hadn't seen this woman before, and she didn't know what to call her, so she answered and followed into the door. There is also a pergola in the courtyard of the Wu family, and there are several fresh vegetables and a basket of eggs on a long table below. And on a crossbar under the pergola, there are several pork, some of which have been smeared with salt, which should not be from the same day, but after a few days, and the salt has been smeared in order to keep it fresh.

In ancient times, there were several kinds of preservation measures, either by the side of the water tank or in the cellar, both of which were cool; Either that's salted; Either that, it is hung on the kitchen stove and smoked into bacon.

The woman pointed to the pieces of meat hanging from the beam, and said, "Here they are, let's see which one you want." Although the salted one was the day before yesterday, it was not bad at all, and it dried a lot, so it must be cost-effective in terms of quantity. What was not smeared with salt was the pig that was killed yesterday, and there were only a few pieces of fresh meat left, and they all had to be smeared with salt tonight. I don't plan to kill pigs tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so if you don't buy it now, you won't be able to buy fresher ones. ”

Su Jinyao wants to make steamed bun filling, of course, it has to be fresh meat. She chose two large pieces, about four pounds. If the business is good on the first day, the buns of these four catties of pork buns are sold out, and they can also make a lot of money.

The woman took off the weighing hook next to her and said, "Sophie just came to buy pork and pork bones a few days ago, and today you bought such two large pieces of meat, your family is really good on this day." ”

Su Jinyao nodded, and she answered. Because I didn't know this woman well, I naturally didn't have the heart to say anything.

The woman saw that Su Jinyao was not very enthusiastic, and she didn't talk anymore, and hung the meat on the scale hook and weighed it, four catties and three taels high.

Su Jinyao said again; "Another cabbage, let's count it together."

The woman was also quite quick, and she hugged another cabbage over and asked Su Jinyao, "Is this cabbage good?" If you think it's too big, I'll give you a smaller one. ”

Su Jinyao took a look at it and felt that the size of this cabbage was really suitable. Chopped up and four pounds of how big

The pork is mixed together, and it happens to be a cabbage pork bun that is not light or oily. I agreed.

The woman weighed the cabbage, wrapped the pork and handed it to Su Jinyao, and said, "This is to make buns, right?" Is there anything else missing? We have pork, fresh vegetables and eggs at home, and we are sure they are all fresh. Come to my house to buy more groceries in the future, and I'll give you a cheaper price. ”

Su Jinyao saw that the dishes on the long table just now were quite good, and there were more types than the Li family, it seems that the Wu family is worthy of being a big family in Pingshan Village, and they can come here to buy vegetables in the future.

After thinking about it, Su Jinyao asked, "If I often buy vegetables and meat in the future, and I buy a lot, can you help me send them over?" There is also a simple way to help organize the dishes, and it is best to wash them to make the dishes look fresh and bright? ”

The woman thought for a moment and said, "Yes." As long as you don't leave the village, you can send it anywhere. But you said you wanted to wash the dishes? This dish is easy to rot after water, and it will not be stored for a long time. If you promise to buy it, I'll wash it for you and send it to you. Anyway, this well water doesn't cost money, and I can help you remove the wilted leaves and vegetable roots, and go through the water again. ”

Su Jinyao felt that this woman was quite refreshing, so she said, "Don't worry, I promise to buy the vegetables that you have washed, and you must not let the vegetables rot in your hands." In this way, I will order the food to be bought a day in advance, and I will give you half of the money. You helped me pick the vegetables in the morning, washed them and sent them over, and I gave you the other half of the money. ”

"Okay, that's it." The woman was very pleased, and agreed to come down with a mouthful.

Su Jinyao also felt that this would save a lot of trouble, at least the source of the dishes was fixed. The vegetables of the day will be a little floating when they are picked from the garden, and if it is hot, it will definitely wilt after a long time of dehydration. Once passed, the water will be bright for at least a day. Put it in a small bamboo shed to show guests that it is clean and fresh ingredients, and it looks good.

Su Jinyao gave the money to buy pork and Chinese cabbage, and then said, "If there is no accident, I will come over to order food with you tonight?" ”

"Okay." The woman's promise was also crisp and neat.

Su Jinyao had just gone out with the wrapped meat and cabbage, and the woman stopped her again and said, "Su girl, you come back." ”

Su Jinyao was stunned for a moment, looked at the things in her hand, and thought that she had given a lot of money.

The woman smiled and said, "The bun stuffed with pork and cabbage is not delicious without green onions, so I'll pull two green onions for you." This doesn't cost money, but it's a big customer for you. ”

With that, the woman walked towards the backyard, and in a short time she came with a handful of green onions in her hand. A bundle of straw rope was stuffed into Su Jinyao's hand.

Su Jinyao took a look, which are two green onions, at least five or six. She originally felt embarrassed, and just wanted to ask how much it should be, but the woman pushed Su Jinyao and said, "Let's go, it's okay, it's just a few green onions." Even if the green onion seeds fall into the ground and grow on their own, it is not difficult to plant them. In the future, when you come to buy vegetables, I will give them all green onions, ginger, and garlic, and cooking can enhance the taste

, stewed meat can get rid of fish. ”

Su Jinyao didn't expect this woman to be so enthusiastic, and it was very good to look at her heart, so she thanked her and left with her things.

When he looked back, he saw the woman still leaning against the door and looking at him, with a smile on her face.

Back at Chunniu's house, Chunniu had already packed up the things that should be used today, and the noodles and rolling pins were packed and ready to be carried to the small water shop. Seeing that Su Jinyao was back, he smiled and said, "Let's go, it's all packed up." These things are not commonly used at home, so I will put them there first. The big iron pot was also taken, and I don't have a pot at night at home, so I might as well go to your house to eat. ”

Su Jinyao knew that Chunniu was joking, but she was also telling the truth. She is really doing her best to run the business of Xiaoshuipu, otherwise she can't move all her family's things to Xiaoshuipu, but she doesn't have a word.

Su Jinyao also smiled and said, "Okay, come on." It's just two more pairs of chopsticks, and it's lively to eat when there are more people. ”

Chun Niu picked up her things and closed the door with her hands back, saying "Forget it, tease you." Actually, Siping and I are just two people, and it's easy to talk about eating or something. I also thought that if I couldn't sell the things for the day, I would take them home and eat them, so that I would not have to make dinner and breakfast. You can also Siping when I pick me up over there, we will cook a meal there to eat, anyway, there is a pot and a stove, and it is the same convenience to do it anywhere. ”

Su Jinyao listened to it and thanked her heart, knowing that Chunniu thought carefully and thoughtfully, and it was also to not worry about herself. noted her goodness, but Su Jinyao didn't say much. Just helped Chunniu carry things, and the two of them went up the mountain together.

Today, Chun Niu was carrying a lot of things, so Su Jinyao asked her to go to the small water shop first, she went to the spring to fetch water by herself, and then carried the bamboo tube and then went up the mountain.

Halfway through, Chun Niu hurriedly ran over again and took over the bamboo tube in Su Jinyao's hand, seemingly not letting Su Jinyao work more.

Su Jinyao only scored half of the Chunniu, and she carried half by herself, and then said, "Are you using me as the owner to please me, or are you using me as a child and can't bear to make me tired?" ”

Chunniu laughed when she heard this, and said, "Yes." Your body is so thin, I feel distressed when I look at it, can you still let you work? I see that these two bamboo tubes are thicker than your waist, and I am afraid that you will not be able to carry them. In addition, I am also currying favor with you, the owner, without you, how can I have a good life for my spring girl. I'm afraid that they will all be sold to madmen now, or they will be ruined to death by madmen. ”

Su Jinyao glared at her and said, "Okay, don't talk about those unhappy things." I know you're bitter in your heart, but people have to look forward after all, and aren't these days getting better and better? By the way, I haven't asked, how is your father's illness? ”

Hearing Su Jinyao ask about her father's situation, Chunniu's eyes darkened slightly, and she shook her head and said, "It's still like that, but I finally don't have to worry about my life." ”

Su Jinyao understood when she heard this, for such a poor family, it was still far from the medical expenses that could only rely on a few taels of silver to treat the disease

Not enough. 's life was saved, but the cost of long-term treatment is definitely not small, and it is estimated that Chunniu is also powerless.

In order not to make Chun Niu too bad, Su Jinyao didn't ask. Fortunately, I have already arrived at the small water shop, and I have to be busy selling food on the first day, kneading noodles and mixing fillings, so I don't have much effort to say these gossips.

Su Jinyao thinks that her cooking skills are good, so she takes care of the stuffing work. However, chopping the meat filling is a hard work, Chun Niu said that she came, and taking the kitchen knife was a "dangdang", and the meat filling was quickly chopped.

Su Jinyao had already peeled off the cabbage, and by the way, she told Chunniu about the food she had ordered at the Wu family. "Let's study and make some simple and affordable stir-fry today, and pay the deposit in the evening, so that we can have a few more dishes from tomorrow." ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao asked again, "I just don't know who that young woman is?" It's a very down-to-earth and enthusiastic person. ”

Chunniu listened to it and thought about it, "It should be the second sister-in-law of the Wu family." After a pause, Chunniu explained again, "She is not the daughter-in-law of the second uncle of the Wu family, but the wife of the eldest of the Wu family." ”

"Married two daughters-in-law?" Although Su Jinyao knew that it was normal to have three wives and four concubines in ancient times, Pingshan Village was relatively poor, and this phenomenon was not common, so it was the first time she had heard that someone had married two daughters-in-law.

Chunniu nodded and said, "My sister-in-law gave birth to three sons, and she is in charge of the family, so I want to find a side house for her man and help her with the work of the family." Rich families are like this, marrying a partial house is similar to buying a maid, you have to be responsible for the work of the family, and you have to serve the old man, your own man and the eldest lady. In addition, she has not had a baby since she entered the door, and the eldest lady is even more serious. ”

It sounds like this, and it's really the misfortune of the second sister-in-law. It is estimated that her mother's family is not rich, otherwise how can she marry her daughter as a side house.

Chunniu said, "The second sister-in-law is also quite pitiful, I heard her crying a few days ago, I should have been beaten again." However, she is from a foreign country, and the traffickers abducted and sold her, and she has nowhere to go after being beaten, so she can only stay in the Wu family and continue to live. ”

"There is also the abduction of human traffickers!" Su Jinyao was angry for a moment, and then relieved. Human traffickers have existed from ancient times to the present, but in ancient times, with a deed of sale, the buying and selling of human beings was legal. She doesn't even care about the government, so she can manage it.

Chunniu also sighed, of course she couldn't say anything about this.

Su Jinyao and Chunniu made buns while talking, although the back stove was the first time that the fire started, but Siping's craftsmanship was still good, the stove was burning, saving firewood, and the smoke was not so big.

As soon as the first drawer of buns was put in, a convoy stopped outside the small water shop. It is said that it is a convoy, but it is just three large trucks that carry goods, each car is followed by a coachman, and there are four people in charge.

As soon as the steward came in, he smiled and said, "Yo, I saw cooking smoke here from a distance, is this a fire for cooking?" ”

Su Jinyao looked up and didn't know her. But he still smiled and said, "Yes, it's hot, prepare some steamed buns, steamed buns or something, and a few simple stir-fried dishes, so that everyone can rest and eat hot meals when they pass by." ”

"That's just a coincidence, we're still opening for the first time?" When the steward said this, he meant that he wanted to stay and eat.

Chunniu came over and said, "Today I only steamed buns, pork and cabbage filling, the filling is big and thin, and the taste is good." The two of us started packing it in the morning, how many of us would like to try it? It was out of the pot right away. ”

"Taste it. Let's start with three, and if anyone doesn't have enough to eat, add more. After the steward finished speaking, he sat down on the stone bench and said, "We have been walking this road for several years, and we have to walk no less than ten times a month, that is, recently, there is a place to rest." Not to mention, your little water shop is really convenient. ”

The three coachmen also tied their horses and walked in, and when they heard that there were steamed buns, one of them smiled and said, "It's best to have two stir-fried vegetables, whether there is rice porridge or not, and each person will also hold a bowl." ”

Su Jinyao looked at Chun Niu and shook her head together. Su Jinyao said, "Today is indeed the first time to open the fire to cook, and I just tried to come, so I didn't prepare so much." Since a few of you are frequent visitors, it is better to tell me the approximate date of your return and return, and we can prepare the meal for you in advance. Several eldest brothers also know that we are poor in the ravine, and there are vegetables and meat that are not common, and our family is also poor and cannot afford to save too many ingredients, so the things we prepare every day are also limited. If a few people can set a date, we will prepare in advance, and a few people will eat it when they come. ”

"Don't say it, it's a good idea." The steward said, "We will go here and again for three days, one day to walk, one day to unload, and one day to return." Today is the goods, and the day after tomorrow will come back at this point. After a two-day break, the goods were loaded again, and the goods were still transported back and forth like this. There are four of us, all of whom are big men and are not picky eaters, as long as the food is clean and affordable, you can watch and prepare. ”

Su Jinyao and Chunniu agreed repeatedly, it seems that this business is really a stable source of customers.

I've finished talking here, and I've finished making buns over there. Chunniu quickly took down the cage drawer with her hands and feet, and began to pick up the buns while it was hot. Chunniu is also careful, and the day before, she asked Siping to cut the bamboo and heat it with fire, bend it, and make a clip. In this way, the buns do not need to be held by hand, and they can be directly picked up with bamboo tongs and sent to the guests.

Su Jinyao saw it in her heart, and even praised Chunniu for being thoughtful and thoughtful, and thinking about these things very thoughtfully.

Su Jinyao and Chunniu are also real, the buns are really stuffed with big stuffing and thin skin, there is a lot of meat, and the size is not small. These four big men each ate three buns and were almost full, that is, a young man said that the buns were delicious and wanted to eat another one, so Chun Niu gave him another bun.

After the four of them had eaten, the steward smiled and took out the money bag, weighed it and asked Su Jinyao, "Little girl, you have always relied on this little water shop."

Reward. This bun is not water, how can you count it? ”

Su Jinyao also smiled, and said simply, "It's better to reward it." After all, we are also here for the convenience of everyone, not to open a restaurant. What's more, everyone knows the price of the buns, so don't lose the hearts of our sisters. ”

"Haha, the little girl is refreshing, but she has a lot of eyes. We've come so far that it's nice to have a place to rest. What's more, you also said that the things in this mountain are more precious, and we won't lose you. Come on, that's a penny of silver and a reward. After speaking, the steward took out a few pieces of broken silver, which added up to about seven or eight cents of silver, and handed them to Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao thanked her repeatedly, and then pointed to the sheepskin water bladder in the car and said, "I'll fill the water bladder for a few big brothers." Now the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there is no fire to drink on the road. ”

The steward was very happy and said, "Okay, little girl, you are really careful." After that, every time we played this, we would come in to rest and have a meal. ”

Chunniu and Su Jinyao were busy adding water to everyone's water bladder, and then they sent off the first wave of guests.

Su Jinyao calculated, the price of meat buns is five yuan wherever they are sold, and these four people ate thirteen steamed buns, which should be sixty-five yuan. But the silver rewarded is at least eighty or ninety wen converted into copper plates, which is really not a loss and still earns.
