Chapter Thirty-Four: I Apologize! I apologize!
Cheng Yan only buried his head in the raged quilt and kept silent, but his heart was sweet. Even though it was the first time that Min Wanwan had spoken to him in such a tough tone, he was still happy.
Min Wanwan returned to the stove again, she had just sat on an iron pot on the fire, and now the contents of the pot had been boiling, and the sound of "coo-dong-coo" could be clearly heard from inside.
As soon as the lid of the pot was lifted, a thick fruity aroma came out along with the white smoke.
"Hmmm! It smells so good! Min Wanwan was very satisfied, and then she quickly added a few drops of sour vinegar to the boiled fruit. Originally, I wanted to put lemon juice or something, but in this day and age, even apples are rare, so where can I find lemons? So she had to take sour vinegar instead.
After boiling with vinegar for a while, Min Wanwan estimated that it was about the same time, and she added a few spoonfuls of white sugar.
Seeing the expensive white sugar in the pot, Min Wanwan felt distressed for a while.
"Wanwan, what are you doing here? Is this vinegar and sugar still edible? Cheng Yan, who smelled the fragrance, sat on a wooden chair and came out to take a look.
"Of course you can eat it!" Min Wanwan scooped some of the jam that had been boiled until it was sticky with a spoon and handed it to Cheng Yan's mouth.
Cheng Yan was a little embarrassed, but he still tasted it.
"It's delicious! What is it? Cheng Yan instantly came to his senses, staring at those jams and couldn't believe that they were so delicious, not only did he eat them, but this thing was also sweet and sour, and the fragrance of fruit was between his lips and teeth when he ate it.
Looking at Cheng Yan's satisfied look, Min Wanwan looked confident. She imagined being swept away at the market.
"This is jam, which is made from wild fruits that I picked with Aunt Ma. These fruits are even more delicious when you put them in bread. ”
Min Wanwan told Cheng Yan seriously, Cheng Yan's eyes widened, he didn't expect those inconspicuous wild fruits to make such delicious things.
"Alright, I'm leaving. I've already made breakfast and put it warm by the stove, you have to remember to eat it. Min Wanwan said goodbye to Cheng Yan with the packaged jam and cake on her back.
"Okay." Cheng Yan looked at her back, feeling a sense of loss. Knowing that she would come back in the evening, he was still not at ease.
After arriving at the market, Min Wanwan opened the only three-legged Mazha in the house, put down the basket on her back and began to put things outside.
When everything was arranged, Min Wanwan took out the jam wrapped in rough paper and began to spread it into the bread. When she had finished spreading all the bread, she divided the rest of the jam into portions and placed them in the rough paper that had been torn apart.
"Oh, girl, what are you?" The jam attracted the attention of Uncle Liu, who had just come on the side, he had eaten bread and cakes, this red thing, he had seen it for the first time.
Min Wanwan smiled mysteriously and scooped some with a spoon to Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu tasted it in his mouth for a long time, but he felt that the more he ate, the more flavorful it became, and he was reluctant to swallow it in his mouth for a long time.
Uncle Liu wiped the saliva from his mouth: "Girl, what is this?" Do I think it's better than cake? “
Min Wanwan smiled with satisfaction, and sure enough, her idea was correct. Now that the weather is getting hotter, the cake tastes too sweet and greasy, and the jam is still appetizing. She also thought that the taste should be varied.
But today is very strange, Min Wanwan didn't sell much in the morning, fortunately, the cake and bread have been put in the insulated bucket by her, and the insulated cup is placed in the cold water basin, and the top is still covered with broken floc.
It's a principle that sells popsicles.
She wondered how she would be snatched up every day when she came here. But until now, it is Sister Xu who has come to buy it from several old customers.
At a strange time, a small group of people gathered in front of Min Wanwan's stall, and Wang Hong stood in front of them and looked at Min Wanwan with a malicious smile.
"Oh, Wanwan, what's going on? I didn't sell it all morning haha......" Wang Hong became more and more proud, and finally couldn't help laughing.
And the people behind Wang Hong stared at Min Wanwan as if they were about to burst into flames.
"Min Wanwan, I heard that you ate fish yesterday, and it's still a rare sea bass. Looks like you won't be able to eat today. Wang Hong's smile was ruthless.
Min Wanwan suddenly understood that these were all Wang Hong's troubles. Sure enough, the power of the third aunt of the big-mouthed king is indeed quite a lot.
"Auntie, you still keep saying that I am a relative, and you bring someone to smash my field?"
"So what?" Wang Hong yelled at Min Wanwan unceremoniously, and the spit spittled out: "You earned our money, and you are so delicious and spicy." You can eat sea bass when you rely on that waste man in your house! Isn't it relying on us folks? What a shameless profiteer! “
"It's just, shameless ......"
"Oops, take our money and eat sea bass?"
In the face of their abuse and accusations, Min Wanwan shook her head helplessly, she relied on her own skills to earn money, and she didn't force these people to buy her cakes, and scolded her in the end.
Typical hatred of the rich.
"Oops! Do you people really mean it? Did Wanwan force you to buy it? At this moment, a woman's voice came from behind the crowd. Min Wanwan knew who it was as soon as she heard it.
Sure enough, looking at the voice, Sister Xu rudely pulled away a few people who were making trouble, and pushed Wang Hong. Wang Hong was so angry that she wanted to refute, but was frightened by Sister Xu's eyes.
Wang Hong didn't dare to go to Sister Xu, after all, she was a well-known spicy household in the county.
The arrival of Sister Xu reversed the situation, and those who made trouble did not dare to breathe.
"We didn't say she forced us." Suddenly, Min Qingqing appeared in the crowd and confronted Sister Xu and Min Wanwan directly: "But she has only been selling it for a few days and can eat the precious sea bass, which must be the price of the cake she sold us has increased a lot." Don't bluff us, how expensive is sea bass, how much is a few catties of flour and sugar? ”
As soon as these words came out, several troublemakers instantly gained momentum again, and they all clamored for Min Wanwan to pay back the money.
Min Qingqing didn't dislike the big thing, and continued to shout loudly: "Also, I heard that the fruits in the fruit cake made by Min Wanwan were all stepped on the mountain. She used the fruit to earn the money of the villagers, she is simply a traitor! ”
The villagers stomped their feet angrily when they heard this, it was not easy to make some money these days, and what they hated most was profiteers. The villagers raised their fists and asked Min Wanwan to pay back the money.
"No, Min girl is not this kind of person." Seeing Min Wanwan surrounded by the villagers, the elderly Uncle Liu couldn't look at it anymore and wanted to squeeze out into the crowd to defend Min Wanwan.
"Oops, old man! Get out of the way! ”
Min Qingqing dragged Uncle Liu away, and Uncle Liu's trembling body finally fell to the ground.
"Uncle Liu!" Min Wanwan's eyes were quick to hold Uncle Liu so that he didn't fall hard. She raised her head and stared at Min Qingqing with a cold look in her eyes, and Min Qingqing took a step back with a weak heart and retreated behind Wang Hong.
"What? Are you a profiteer going to eat us? Wang Hong hurriedly protected Min Wanwan.
Min Wanwan directly crossed Wang Hongli and ignored her, and dragged Min Qingqing hard and scolded loudly: "Apologize!" ”
Where was Min Qingqing willing to listen to Min Wanwan: "Why? What do you care about? ”
Min Wanwan was even tougher and dragged Min Qingqing's arm and didn't let go, and the other party's arm was caught red by Min Wanwan: "I just want to take care of you for your useless mother today!" ”
As soon as he heard that it was useless, Wang Hong was so angry that his face turned purple.
Min Qingqing couldn't stand the pain, and Wang Hong couldn't push Min Wanwan away. In the end, she had to compromise: "I apologize!" I apologize! ”
Hearing the apology, Min Wanwan let go, only to find that she had grabbed Min Qingqing's flower shirt sleeves into a ball.
