Chapter 53: Saving Money

Qiao Ruyi listened, paused again and said:

As for finding two women to help, we don't know anyone in this town, so it's better to go back to Qiaojiazhuang and ask Aunt Xue to recommend two reliable people to us.

Sister, I'll see it.

Qiao Laixing listened and said.

The three of them discussed that they came to the kitchen after resting on the kang for most of the hour, and the three of them got busy together, first made two pots of steamed buns, Qiao Ruyi then mixed pork and cabbage filling, she first chopped the pork into minced stuffing, and then washed and chopped the cabbage, salted and salted for a while, squeezed out the water in the minced pork, added chopped green onions and ginger, and then put salt, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Then stir vigorously in one direction, the pork and cabbage filling is mixed, then cut the carrots into shreds, fry them in oil, fry the eggs into small pieces in a hot pan, add salt and sesame oil, mix well, and wrap the buns with dough. Put it in a pot and steam it out.

The shop has not yet opened, Qiao Ruyi and Qiao Laixing first picked a load to sell on the riverbank, leaving Qiao Ruxin at home to watch the house, they didn't come for a day, people who are used to eating their noodles waited for a day, and saw Qiao Ruyi and Qiao Laixing coming again.

Why didn't you come yesterday, I was waiting for it yesterday-

Qiao Ruyi explained:

We have opened a shop in the town, just on the cross street, if you are free, you can go to our shop to buy it, of course, we will also come here, but these days are a little busy, if you don't come for a day and a half, everyone will take care of it

Okay, okay, don't talk about it, get it for us, hey, what are you pleats?

Someone found the bun that Qiao Ruyi had just wrapped today.

Qiao Ruyi continued:

This is called a bun, the outside is dough, and the inside is wrapped in filling, which is both beautiful and hungry.

Qiao Ruyi said, then broke open a bun and showed it to everyone.

How much is one.

Someone asked.

Qiao Ruyi replied:

This cabbage and pork stuffed bun is eight cents a piece, and this one is egg and carrot filling, five cents a piece.

Okay, give me one.

Okay.

Qiao Ruyi listened and hurriedly agreed, Qiao Laixing was responsible for getting buns for people, and Qiao Ruyi was responsible for collecting money.

After a while, it was almost sold.

Qiao Ruyi slapped the bulging money bag, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but bend.

looked at the few scattered parts of the burden again, and said to Qiao Laixing:

Let's go back.

Well, okay.

Qiao Laixing listened and cleaned up and picked up the burden. The two walked home.

Qiao Ruyi and Qiao Laixing returned home, and Qiao Ruxin saw that the two were back, so she ran up with a smile and shouted:

Sister, brother, you're back-

Qiao Ruyi stepped forward and hugged Qiao Ruxin and said:

yes, we're back, let's go, let's go back to the house.

Qiao Ruyi took Qiao Ruxin, the two went back to the back room, Qiao Ruyi took out the money bag, and the copper plate inside flowed out, and Qiao Ruxin's eyes only glowed

Qiao Ruyi smiled, sat on the kang, and counted them one by one. Qiao Ruxin looked back and forth with a pair of eyes.

Qiao Ruyi finished counting, and it was a total of one penny of silver.

Heck, the buns we brought this time are selling really well. Those people want to taste it after they see it, and after tasting it, they still have something to buy, but we only have a limited amount to bring, and in the end they don't want to buy it.

Qiao Ruyi said proudly.

The steamed buns and buns are made after the noodles have been made, they are soft and delicious, and the noodles bought by others are all dead noodles, and there is no such thing as them, so they sell very well.

Sister, put away this silver quickly, we have to save some of it.

Qiao Laixing reminded on the side.

Hey, got it.

Qiao Ruyi replied, and put away the silver with satisfaction.

The expenses are relatively large these days, and the money saved in the past few days has been almost spent. It's time to start saving money from now on.

Ruyi girl, is Ruyi girl there?

Xue was shouting outside.

Qiao Ruxin climbed onto the kang, looked out through the wooden lattice window, turned back to Qiao Ruyi and said:

Sister, it's Aunt Xue who is here.

Oh, is it Aunt Xue, let Aunt Xue in.

When Qiao Ruxin heard this, she slipped off the kang and ran outside-after a while, Qiao Ruxin shouted-

Sister, Aunt Xue is here.

Hey, got it.

Qiao Ruyi put the porcelain jar where the silver was stored back in its place, stood up, and saw Aunt Xue walking in front, Qiao Ruxin and Xiu'er walking in hand in the back.

Aunt Xue, you're here, come and sit down-

Qiao Ruyi smiled and beckoned forward.

I brought Xiu'er to the town to deliver embroidery work, and when I passed by you, I wanted to come in and see you.

Xue explained with a smile.

Qiao Ruyi listened to it and said with a smile:

Aunt Xue, thank you for your concern - Aunt Xue, come into the house and sit, and Xiu'er, come up to the house too.

Sister, Xiu'er and I went to the yard to play.

Qiao Ruxin took Xiu'er's hand and said to Qiao Ruyi.

Hey, okay, go ahead, have fun, don't fight.

Qiao Ruyi instructed.

Sister, I know.

Qiao Ruxin replied, and then ran to the yard with Xiu'er laughing.

You don't have to worry about them, they're fine.

Xue said to Qiao Ruyi with a smile.

Hey, Aunt Xue, let's go into the house and sit.

Qiao Ruyi welcomed Xue into the house, came to the kang and sat down, poured another bowl of boiling water and sent it up, and said:

There is no good tea, Aunt Xue, you will drink some to moisten your throat.

Xue Shi took the water bowl and said with a smile:

Ruyi, you are too polite, let's be a farmer, what are you doing with tea, this boiled water is very good.

Xue said, took two big sips and put it down, and asked Qiao Ruyi again:

Ruyi, you are still used to living in this house, what is not good, I will let Uncle Qingshan repair it.

Xue said, looking around.

Aunt Xue, this house doesn't need to be cleaned up, it's very good everywhere, it's much better than the house in Qiaojiazhuang, you can live directly if you clean it.

The house where Qiao Ruyi lives now is Carpenter Wang's house, Carpenter Wang has lived for most of his life, so he naturally cherishes it very much, and he cleans it up properly every time.

It's true, this house is much better than the one at the west end of the village.

Xue Shi looked at it and said.

Aunt Xue, do I still have something you can help me with?

Qiao Ruyi remembered his previous plans, and originally wanted to go to Qiaojiazhuang to find the Xue family, but he didn't expect the Xue family to come today, so he just took advantage of this time to tell his plans.

Oh, what's the matter, Ruyi girl, tell me about it?

Xue replied.

Qiao Ruyi glanced at Qiao Ruxin and Xue Xiu'er, who were dancing rubber bands in the outhouse, and said:

That's right, I plan to invite two people from Zhuangzi to help sell noodles, Lai Xing and I mainly make noodles, and then invite two people, one to watch the shop, and the other to carry the burden to the river bank to buy.

Ruyi girl, you have a good idea.

Xue Shi heard Qiao Ruyi say this, thought for a while and said:

But who is this and how much is paid, you have to explain it to me in advance, so that I can go back to the village and talk to others.
