Chapter 19: Eight?

"The food I cook is a little spicy, and Niu Ji has sweet wine balls, so I want to make some desserts that are half sold and half given away after dinner." Josu said with a smile.

"Half sold and half given?" Qin Shen looked at Qiao Su suspiciously, they didn't have much money when they came here, if they were half sold and half given, wouldn't Qiao Su have to work hard for nothing?

"Of course it's impossible to send a lot! I'll cut the finished snack into small pieces and give away just a little bit, so I can buy it and eat it if I like! She tilted her head to look at Qin Shen, "How about this idea?" ”

"Very good!" Qin Shen nodded in praise.

On the last day of the month, it is time for the dock to call the meal fee, although some people buy it on the same day, but after all, there are more deposits, because it is convenient for each other.

Niu Ruoshui received the fixed money from Xiao Er, and immediately became angry, "Why is it so little?" ”

"There are a lot of dock workers, and they all order food in a tavern." Xiao Er said in a low voice.

"Which tavern?" Niu Ruoshui looked at Xiao Er with fierce eyes.

"It's the tavern that buys sweet balls." Xiao Er said.

"Her house is already open? What are they selling? Niu Ruoshui asked carefully.

Xiao Er shook his head, "It seems that the tavern hasn't been cleaned up yet, but it's just selling some snacks every day, but I heard that the boss's father-in-law works at the dock, so he will go over to deliver food every day, so many people order food from her." And when the proprietress delivered the food, it was a cart with a thick quilt, and the meals delivered to the dock were hot, and the steamed buns in our store were ...... It's easy to cool off. ”

"It seems...... You need to speed up the production of quilts! Niu Ruoshui squinted her eyes and said, her Niu Ji has been open in Yuzhou for so long, and she has never been defeated by anyone, and this time, she will definitely succeed in snatching back those lost businesses!

The kitchen of the tavern had set up a cauldron again, and in it boiled red shiny things. A sweet and sour smell filled the kitchen, and then wafted out of the window.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Zhao Guang took his younger siblings to probe his brain outside the door.

"Come on in, why are you so late today?" Josu smiled and beckoned to the children.

"It's not that my sister is crying at home all the time." Zhao Guang pursed his lips in disgust, but holding his sister's hand, he was still so gentle.

"Yo, why are you crying at home?" Qiao Su walked up to Sister Zhao Guang and reached out to poke her little face.

"I want to eat cakes, but my brother won't buy them." The little girl pouted.

"Here's what you're going to eat." Josu took a basket from the side, and it was full of small white balls.

"What is this?" Zhao Guang looked at the inside of the basket curiously.

"This is sugar sticky." Qiao Su smiled and said, "Try it, but there is a core in it, you have to spit it out!" ”

Zhao Guang took one from it and put it in his mouth, first a strange sweetness, then sourness, "Is it hawthorn?" Zhao Guang's eyes lit up, it turned out that hawthorn could be so delicious.

"yes!" Qiao Su rubbed Zhao Guang's head, "Take it to your younger brothers and sisters!" ”

"Hmm," Zhao Guang smiled and took out two more from it and gave them to his younger siblings.

Qiao Su stood up, boiling the red stuff in the pot, and asked, "I don't know your names when we meet every day!" ”

"My name is Zhao Guang, this is the seventh brother Zhao Chuan, and the eighth sister Zhao Mei." Zhao Guang walked up to Qiao Su, "What is my sister doing?" ”

"I'm making Beijing cakes, and this thing will taste softer and glutinous, but the taste will be sour than sugar sticky." Qiao Su smiled and looked at Zhao Guang on the side, "You can't eat it yet, I'll give you a taste when it's out of the pot." ”

"Thank you, sister." Zhao Guang asked about the sweet and sour taste of hawthorn, and swallowed his saliva unconsciously.

"Why don't you eat sugar sticky?" Josu said with a smile.

"That...... It should be my sister who wants to sell it for money! Zhao Guang lowered his head and grabbed the corner of his clothes, if only he had a lot of silver.

"Oh, that was meant for you!" Josu sighed, "I've done a lot!" Eat with confidence! ”

"Really?" Zhao Guang looked at Qiao Su in surprise.

"Of course!" Qiao Su suddenly thought of the seventh and eighth brothers that Zhao Guang said, and she looked at Zhao Guang in surprise, "Your family...... How many children are there? ”

"There are eight! I also have an older sister and four older brothers above me. Zhao Guang sighed like a little adult, "That's why my family has always been so poor!" ”

Qiao Su knew that in ancient times, without reasonable contraceptive means, ordinary people would naturally give birth to children if they had children, after all, it was also necessary to go to the pharmacy to buy abortion pills.

Qiao Su felt that the time was almost up, so she put out the fire under the stove, she straightened her waist, thinking about the food to be delivered to the dock, and suddenly felt a little struggling.

"Is my sister going to the dock to deliver food?" Zhao Guang looked up and asked.

"yes." Josu quickly rekindled the fire on another stove and began to make hot and sour noodles.

"Sister, if you don't worry, we're here to help you look after the store, you go to the dock and deliver food to that big brother!" Zhao Guang said sensibly.

"You're here?" Josu was a little worried.

Zhao Guang patted his chest and said: "When my father and mother went to work, we were also running around at home, don't worry!" By the way, sister, why don't you sell this sugar sticky? ”

"I haven't been able to sell it yet!" Qiao Su really wanted to have a few more hands on his own, otherwise he would be really busy. She has countless ideas to make money, but she has no skills!

"How to sell it? I'm here to help! Zhao Guang stood in front of Qiao Su with his chest protruding, "Don't worry! Our family has been living here for a long, long time, and no one will dare to rob us! ”

"Alright then!" Qiao Su took out all the sugar stickers he had made, and then took out the oiled paper bag that he had pasted overnight yesterday, "It's very simple, you use this bowl to put a bottle of bowls into this bag, a bag of 10 copper plates." She suddenly looked at Zhao Guang with scrutiny, "You...... Count them! ”

Zhao Guang's face suddenly turned red, "Of course I can count!" "Even if he doesn't, he'll have no problem counting from one to ten!

"Don't just sell things, take care of your younger brothers and sisters, and besides, although the fire in the kitchen has been extinguished by me, the cauldron is still hot, you have to be careful......"

"Got it, got it! Sister is so long-winded, go quickly! Zhao Guang waved his hand, drove Qiao Su out who was pushing the cart, and shouted with his younger brothers and sisters.

He has to sell more sugar sticky seeds, otherwise how can he be worthy of eating and drinking here for nothing every day? Although Zhao Guang is naughty, he is poor, and in essence, he is still a very good child.
