Chapter 22: Business is booming
There was a lot of bustling around the stalls, and after a while, Min Wanwan's cake stall was spread throughout the market.
But the people who came in a hurry were all empty, because today's cakes and bread were all sold, but fortunately, someone had ordered tomorrow's cakes and bread in advance.
Min Wanwan smiled and cleaned up the stall: "I'm sorry, folks, today's cakes and bread are all sold, if you want, come back tomorrow, I'll sell them here tomorrow." ”
She shouted a few times, and the people around her slowly dispersed.
Carefully fold the cloth on the ground and return it to Uncle Liu, who sells bamboo baskets next to him.
She scratched her head a little embarrassed: "Uncle is really embarrassed, originally I thought of leaving you a bread, thank you for borrowing my cloth, I will make more tomorrow, and leave you a bread." ”
When the uncle heard this, he quickly shook his head with a smile, and pointed to the bamboo basket he was holding in his hand: "Your business is good, I can't make much money selling baskets a day, and a few people in the family are waiting for dinner!" ”
Uncle took the cloth and carefully put it in the basket next to him, Min Wanwan smiled helplessly and shook her head: "Uncle, you misunderstood what I meant, this bread is for you, no money." ”
She couldn't hear the meaning of her uncle's words, looking at the cocoon on his hand, Min Wanwan's heart was sour, it was hard to make money in this era.
"No, it's not easy to make money, you can keep it and sell it."
The uncle waved his hand, his face was dark, his face was very thick, and he looked like a sincere person who didn't like to take advantage of small things.
Looking at the insistence on the uncle's face, Min Wanwan didn't say any more, but she thought in her heart that when she came tomorrow, she must leave two loaves of bread for the uncle.
After packing up the baskets and about to leave, there was a shouting from the far distance in the market.
"The daughter-in-law of the Cheng family!"
Min Wanwan turned her head to see that Dr. Fang was sweating profusely, and he was still carrying a few cowhide bags in his hands.
"It's okay for me to find you, girl, bring me two cakes."
He inquired about the location of Min Wanwan's stall from the west end of the market, and he ate the cake she gave him yesterday, and when he went home, he was accidentally discovered by the old man, who was always making trouble, and insisted that he come to buy two cakes today and bring them back.
He couldn't beat the old man, so he hurried to the county.
Min Wanwan smiled a little helplessly, and opened the basket in her hand: "Uncle has sold out all of them today, otherwise you will come back tomorrow." ”
As soon as he saw that the basket was empty, Old Man Fang was like a wilted eggplant, he quickly shook his head, and grabbed Min Wanwan's hand: "Girl, you help, it's still early, I'll go to your house with you, you make two more, and now the old man in my house has to let me bring two cakes back, otherwise I will be designated to make trouble with me." ”
Min Wanwan was a little embarrassed, after all, making two small cakes on one stove is also a bit of a waste of firewood, let alone the materials prepared at one time.
There was an eldest sister next to her who rushed up when she heard this, and she also looked at Min Wanwan with a smile.
"Sister, what this uncle said is good, I just want to buy a few more, why don't I add a few cents to you, and you can go home and make a few."
The eldest sister who spoke, wearing a neat floral shirt, her face was ruddy, as if she had been creamed, and her hair was also neatly combed, looking like a wealthy family in the county.
Min Wanwan thought for a while, and finally nodded, after all, who would have trouble with money these days.
Seeing that it is still early, you can make some money by making another furnace.
Seeing Min Wanwan nodding, the eldest sister immediately grinned.
Chen Jiaping is not very far from the county, and along the way, the eldest sister is smiling and chatting with Min Wanwan.
"Girl, your skills are really good, and setting up a stall in this market is really a bit condescending."
Being praised by the eldest sister like this, she immediately felt a little embarrassed, she shook her head and was very modest: "Eldest sister, I am already very happy that you take care of my business so much. ”
Doctor Fang next to him immediately came up: "Girl, just rely on your skill to make some money when the time comes, rent a shop in the county, and you and Cheng Yan's kid won't have to worry about eating and drinking." ”
After all, now the family can only rely on Min Wanwan, and Cheng Yan's leg injury has not been healed, so he can't do any work.
When the eldest sister next to her heard this, she looked Min Wanwan up and down: "Listen to what the uncle means, sister, you have already promised someone." ”
After all, Min Wanwan looks very young, and she doesn't look like a woman who has given birth.
Min Wanwan nodded a little shyly and tightened the basket in her arms.
I also chatted with this eldest sister along the way, and it didn't take long for me to arrive at the door of Cheng's house.
"Eldest sister, my house is a little simple, don't dislike it, come and sit in the back room for a while, I'll make a cake now."
Min Wanwan beckoned the eldest sister and Uncle Fang to sit in the inner room, and as soon as she opened the door of the inner room, Cheng Yan sat up with her body propped up.
"Is Wanwan back?"
"Oh, it's me!"
Min Wanwan smiled, asked Uncle Fang and the eldest sister to sit down at the table, and stepped forward to pour them two bowls of water.
"Eldest sister, this is my man's name Cheng Yan."
"This is the eldest sister I met when I set up a stall today, she and Uncle Fang want to buy a few more cakes, so I'll come back and make some."
She introduced the eldest sister and Cheng Yan to each other, and Cheng Yan nodded to the eldest sister sitting at the table.
The eldest sister looked Cheng Yan up and down a few times, her brows furrowed, as if she had something to say, but in the end she still didn't say it.
After settling the two of them, Min Wanwan went back to the kitchen and began to prepare the ingredients for the cake, beat a few eggs and handed them to Cheng Yan to foam first.
In the back room, the eldest sister sat at the table, constantly looking at Cheng Yan, who was helping Min Wanwan beat the eggs: "Boy, your daughter-in-law is not bad, this skill is so good." ”
She politely chatted with Cheng Yan for a few words, and finally couldn't help but be curious: "Eldest sister, I don't know if you have an injury on your leg, so you have been lying on the kang." ”
From the moment he entered the door, he saw that Cheng Yan had been sitting on the kang and had never gotten out of bed, and he didn't dare to think about it when he looked at him with a delicate appearance.
Cheng Yan didn't shy away from it, nodded, looked through the window, and looked towards the kitchen: "I have something wrong with my legs......"
Every time someone asks about this, he feels very guilty about Min Wanwan.
Doctor Fang on the side couldn't help but interject: "Don't be discouraged, boy of the Cheng family, hand over your leg to me, I promise to cure you, that girl is thinking about it, and you must cure your leg." ”
After getting along with Min Wanwan and Cheng Yan for a while, I also roughly understood his character, although he had an injury on his leg, he was also good to Min Wanwan.
I also silently felt sad for these two people in my heart.
Hearing this, the eldest sister sitting at the table nodded, and looked in the direction of the kitchen: "Then you have to be nice to others, this kind of daughter-in-law, it's not easy to find a lantern, your kid should have accumulated blessings in his last life." ”
Chattering in the back room, the time passed minute by minute, and the cake was finally ready before dark.
Min Wanwan carefully put the cakes in the basket and served them to the back room, only to see the eldest sister, Uncle Fang and Cheng Yan talking and laughing.
