"I told you a long time ago, this Grandpa Yan is a good person, and these little brothers under him are all good, better than all the previous Grandpa Xu! I didn't belong to Grandpa Yan before, eh, those officials are fierce, I hate to scrape you clean! They looted a lot, handed over a little like that, and the rest, but all asked them to give a share! Mama Ning on the side said with an exaggerated smile.

Jia Shi and Li Ailian nodded with a smile, they didn't think that they could pay 150 wen less in an instant, and only pay 350 wen in a month, and the money would be earned back in one day.

"Where's Sister Yuxiu?" Sister Qiu asked.

Li Ailian said with a smile: "Pick up something and go to your uncle's house, your uncle's house has a stove, she went to light a fire first, put the vegetables on it and heat it, and the students will be out of class in a while, I am afraid that it will be difficult to sell if it is cold." ”

"Then mine hurried over." As Sister Qiu spoke, she walked over to the direction of Tingfeng Academy.

The Great Seal and the donkey hurriedly shouted, "Wait for us! ”

Sister Qiu turned her face to see the two of them sweating profusely as they ate Douhuaer, and shook her hands with tears and laughter, "You eat slowly." "If she's too busy, she'll carry these two snacks as free labor.

At that time, Sister Qiu, Zhang Yuxiu was taking a broken pu fan and squatting on the side of the street to fan the fire, and the eldest uncle added firewood to the small stove, and the thick smoke couldn't stop coming out of the stove, and the two of them coughed a few times.

At this time, there was no honeycomb coal, and the coal burned in the furnace in lumps, which had to be ignited with dry branches or wheat straw, which was more laborious.

The eldest uncle and Zhang Yuxiu were all familiar with the work, and they lit the stove in less than a moment, and Zhang Yuxiu put the small pot containing vegetables on the stove to heat it.

"The fire burns brightly, and it gets hot in a moment. Sister Qiu, someone is coming in a moment, you beckon, I'll serve the food, I'm stupid, I can't speak well. Zhang Yuxiu smiled at Sister Qiu and said, there was a black and gray mark on her white face.

Sister Qiu smiled and wiped the black ash off Zhang Yuxiu's face with her sleeve, and encouraged: "What are you afraid of, what is it like, our things are good, I'm not afraid that he won't buy it!" ”

Zhang Yuxiu smiled, leaned to Sister Qiu's ear, pointed to the store and whispered: "I've just preached back and forth three or four times, but I'm afraid I won't hear it. ”

"Ignore her!" Sister Qiu smiled and said, "How can I give our uncle face, if the idea here is good, let's bring the stove by ourselves, and we don't need them." ”

The vegetables in the pot were steaming, and the hot air heated the pancakes resting on the pot, and the peculiar aroma of water tofu and pancakes spread far and wide, and in less than a moment, several students wearing green cloth robes came over.

Under the encouragement of Sister Qiu's eyes, Zhang Yuxiu's face turned purple and red, and she stumbled and shouted: "Sell vegetables and pancakes!" A pancake costs a penny, and a spoonful of vegetables costs two cents, saving things and being delicious, and not eating is not worth money! ”

In fact, there was no need for Zhang Yuxiu to eat hard, and many students followed the aroma of the food and went straight to their small stall

Yes, a young boy in his teens, Sister Shu Qiu was also in high school in her previous life, and her chest was close to her back when she was hungry until noon, otherwise she wouldn't have come out to buy some heart.

Very soon, Sister Qiu's idea was opened, and the ten bowls she took from the water tofu stall were not enough at all, and many students were waiting for the people in front of them to finish eating, and were ready to use the bowls to buy vegetables to eat.

"What's this?" Some students asked while eating the fragrance of Jue.

Sister Qiu smiled and said, "It's water tofu, if the eldest brother thinks it's delicious, he will come to us tomorrow at noon!" ”

"Water tofu? Can water tofu be so delicious? "The students who came to eat were all amazed, and it was the poor people who had no food to eat that used coarse salt to eat tofu, but the tofu was salty and astringent, and it was not delicious.

One of the older students said: "Not all the water tofu in all places is not delicious, my second uncle and father went to the north and south to do business, and I heard him say that the water tofu in some places is very delicious, and our water tofu is not delicious, all of them say that the water is not good." ”

Sister Qiu pursed her lips and smiled, where is the water not good, it's just that the people in Huyang haven't mastered the palm skills of some water tofu, and some people in other locations have already figured it out.

Seeing that there were still a lot of people waiting for bowls to eat, Sister Qiu turned her head and hurriedly said, "Brothers, you can have bowls in the academy, and it is common to use them. ”

A few students suddenly realized, a pat on the head and quickly ran back to get the bowl, when they came back, it was not only these Xu people, it turned out that these people went back to those Xu queue up to prepare to cook the classmates said that someone sells rice, the food is quite fragrant, those Xu people don't want to cook, just take the bowl and run over.

In less than a moment, a pot of vegetables and pancakes was sold, and there were still a lot of people who heard the news and didn't catch up, Sister Qiu hurriedly promised that she would come tomorrow and do more than today. After eating the dishes, many people went to Li Zhongquan's shop and bought some heart cakes.

Before starting to sell rice, Sister Qiu had already left two spoonfuls of vegetables for Li Zhongquan in advance, her spoon was big, and one spoonful of vegetables was enough for one person to eat.

When the stall was closed, Zhang Yuxiujue's sister Qiu was young, so she didn't want her to pick up the stove with her hands, so she extinguished the stove by herself and mentioned the backyard of the store. When he came back, he pursed his lips tightly, and left with Sister Qiu on his shoulder. Li Zhongquan was busy in the store, shouting that they would eat here at noon, Zhang Yuxiu suddenly didn't listen, and pulled Sister Qiu away.

Sister Qiu couldn't do anything, so she turned her face back and shouted to her eldest uncle: "No, eldest uncle, let's go home!" ”

On the same page, Zhang Yuxiu's face was not very good-looking, Sister Qiu pulled her palm and asked with a smile: "Sister, what's wrong with you?" Who's mad at you? ”

Zhang Yuxiu pouted, "Who else besides her!" When I went to the backyard to return the stove, she chirped desperately, saying that firewood is expensive, coal is expensive,

She also said that we blocked her idea, and the students all bought our vegetables and pancakes to eat, not her pastries! ”

Sister Qiu sighed, Tian is a stingy person, with her firewood and coal is not worth anything at all, the water tofu and vegetables they send to her uncle's family every day are far more than this, as for blocking the idea, there is no such thing, students buy some hearts to pad their stomachs as snacks, should they buy or buy. Sister Qiu felt that because of their stall, there were more students who came out, and the idea in the store was even better.

Naturally, there is no point in breaking these Xu Li'er with Tian's family, she just feels that you have taken advantage of her, and she has lost a lot of money.

"Bear with me." Sister Qiu said softly, "When we save enough money, we will also open a shop, so we don't have to borrow the eaves of others." ”

Zhang Yuxiu's eyes were shining when she heard this, "Really? Can we also open a store? In her eyes, opening a store is a very grand and grand thing, only people who do big business can open a store, like her father, busy all year round, is nothing more than pulling a car to do business, no own shop.

"Then naturally, we not only have to open a store in Jiujiang, but also open the store in Huyang and other locations." Sister Qiu smiled and said, "At that time, we just need to sit at home and count the money!" ”

Zhang Yuxiu chuckled, "How can that work?" The bigger the idea, the more worrying it is, counting the money is the business of Mr. Bookkeeper! ”

"You know how to do it!" Sister Qiu said with a smile.

"When my father was still there, he often told me about the big goods stores in Huyang City, saying that those Xu Zhu's families were busy, and outsiders only saw that they made a lot of money, and didn't look at them when they were worried about taking risks." Zhang Yuxiu said with a smile.

Sister Qiu nodded, the more she arrived, the more she paid, and the effort required to make a big deal more than their small ideas, and doing business is not only to spell the secret recipe with technology, but also to rely on connections and relationships. The only person she can rely on at present is Jia's, just a water tofu stall with a good idea, there are people like Erniu to take the idea. Erniu is nothing more than a village ruffian, powerless and powerless, Sister Qiu is not afraid of carrying him, but what if there are some powerful people who covet their water tofu idea? It is easy to rely on their orphans and widows to feed themselves, but it is difficult to make a big deal.

When he returned to Jia's place, Dayin and the donkey had already gone home. Sister Qiu was pleasantly surprised to find that the water tofu was also sold out, but the bean curd was not enough to sell every day, but the water tofu was sold out for the first time in a few days, which indicates that the people around Jiujiang Town have begun to accept food like water tofu, and the day when the future idea will become bigger is just around the corner.

Before the market was dispersed, Sister Qiu dragged Zhang Yuxiu to buy ten catties of wheat noodles in the bazaar, and also bought a three-city jacky fish, a two-city pound of grass pork, and a big water hyacinth.

When the two brought things back, Li Ailian pointed to the water hyacinth and said with a smile: "Our water hyacinth seedlings have just begun to climb the pole, and all the water hyacinths of other families can be sold for money." ”

Water hyacinth generally matures in June and July

It's only May, and it's hard to grow such a big water hyacinth. The tender water hyacinth is cut into shreds, roasted vegetables or wrapped dumplings, all of which are extremely fresh.

"Let's eat dumplings filled with water hyacinth at noon." Sister Qiu said with a smile that their vegetable fields are planted late this year, and they will plant vegetable seeds early in the next year to ensure that the children have enough food for the family.

She really can't stand eating millet noodles and bud rice noodles, occasionally eating a few meals of thick noodles can be said to adjust the diet, eating a meal every day is a low quality of life, now the life at home is much better, improving life is the top priority.
