Chapter Twenty-Three: It is Necessary to Pretend to Be Poor and Cry Poor

The rain stopped, and after a night of sedimentation, the village's road to the city was finally able to pass people, Cui Fenglan was not at home, and the two of them went to the city with a bite of food, and they had not been out of the stall for several days.

After the city was washed by the heavy rain, it looked much fresher and cleaner, Shen Xiaoyu found a good position, put the shelf, the handkerchief and embroidery were placed, hung up, next to Shen Daddy put his own, Shen Xiaoyu even put pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote letters on behalf of him!

"Xiaoyu, mother-in-law has a dress here, can you change it to a shorter one and wear it for my granddaughter?" At the intersection, Granny Zhao brought this dress over, and her granddaughter also brought it.

People in the city are also familiar with Shen Xiaoyu, and they all get a little needlework at home to the stall, Shen Xiaoyu charges fairly, and everyone saves trouble.

Shen Xiaoyu looked at his granddaughter's size and hand, and said, "Okay, you can come and get it tomorrow!" ”

Granny Zhao saw that the measuring tape was not measured, so she asked, "Don't you need to measure?" Not afraid of getting the wrong size? ”

The Shunzi from the stall next to him came over and said, "Don't worry, this little fish is amazing, and it can be measured more accurately than a ruler at a glance!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu smiled, she has also practiced over the years.

After a while, another sister-in-law came carrying furniture, the screen was broken, Shen Xiaoyu glanced at it, the wood of the screen had to be repaired, and said, "You have to work hard!" The wood has to be repainted, and the cloth on the screen has been gnawed by rats, so it is better to buy a new one if it is repaired. ”

The eldest sister-in-law said: "Repair it, my original marriage, reluctant to remain, if your embroidery on it can't be repaired, just replace it with a new one, the money is not bad." With that, he took out the fixed money.

Shen Xiaoyu quoted the price as soon as he saw that he was so generous, and the things were left, and it was another income when they were done.

In the morning, I was busy with the sale of goods, and the needle and thread in my hand were also sewn without a match, and the screen that was gnawed by the rat was directly repaired.

When the acquaintance next to him saw it, he boasted: "The craftsmanship of the small fish is really amazing, I thought that the whole piece would be replaced, but the result was that people embroidered a carp to make up for the bad place of the mouse, and I couldn't see the bad at all!" ”

Daddy Shen is happy, her daughter's craftsmanship is so good!

Shen Xiaoyu embroidered a few more stitches, the gauze was mended, and she went home to repair the remaining wood.

When he got home, Shen Xiaoyu slowly looked for wood, and Father Shen didn't care about it after taking a look.

Shen Xiaoyu also collects the work of wood and bamboo, sometimes making a bonsai and carving a small wooden horse and selling it, anyway, it is all manual work, and she sometimes studies it by herself, which Daddy Shen is ashamed of.

There is leftover paint at home, Shen Xiaoyu adjusted the color, and after the paint is applied, it will take three days to dry it.

"Little fish, eat fish at night, will you do it?" Father Shen saw that there was a fish seller passing by at the door, so he bought one.

Shen Xiaoyu is naturally not good, she can do some manual work with her hands, but she can't cook.

Daddy Shen couldn't help it, so he scraped out the fish scales first.

Shen Xiaoyu also changed the changed clothes, and then looked at the fish and the stove and became worried.

If you don't do it, when Cui Fenglan comes back, the fish will probably stink!

Done, her craft, the fish fished out of the pot basically stinks!

The difference is that it stinks first or stinks last.

"Is Xiaoyu at home?" Someone shouted outside the door, and when Shen Xiaoyu heard it, it was Lu Butterfly who came.

Shen Xiaoyu went to open the door, and outside the door, Lu Butterfly was holding a lily coat in his hand, and he was still holding a plate in his hand, and there were four sticks of boiled corn in it.

"Xiaoyu, thank you yesterday, my mother can go to the ground today. This is my boiled corn, for you. Lu Butterfly said.

Shen Xiaoyu saw that someone had sent something, and she was not polite, and after accepting it, she let Lu Butterfly come in and sit.

Seeing that it was a new girl, Father Shen nodded and continued to cut bamboo strips.

Seeing Shen Xiaoyu arranging the fish in the morning, Lu Butterfly asked, "Are you cooking?" ”

Shen Xiaoyu scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "Yes, my aunt is not at home, I ...... Cooking doesn't work! "It's time to boil porridge and heat up the sky.

When Lu Butterfly saw it, he said, "I'll help you get it." As he spoke, he rolled up his arms and sleeves, and did what he said.

Shen Xiaoyu was dumbfounded, Lu Butterfly was both a pot and a boiling pot, looking at the appearance, a series of actions were very fast, and when she reacted, the pot was fragrant!

"I'm done with the vinegar, don't cover the pot, it'll be out of the pot when the soup is collected!" Lu Butterfly put down the pot and spoon and said to Shen Xiaoyu.

Shen Xiaoyu was dumbfounded: "Oh, why are you so powerful!" This fish feels better than my aunt's! ”

Lu Butterfly smiled and said, "Nothing else, I can cook!" ”

"You don't look that big, why are you so capable!" Shen Xiaoyu said, Lu Butterfly looked the same age as her.

Lu Butterfly said: "I like to eat and cook since I was a child, and later I deliberately learned from a master. ”

Shen Xiaoyu saw that the fish in the pot were full of color and fragrance, and said: "This master must also be powerful, I feel that your skills are better than those cooks in the big restaurants in the city!" "She envies the most who can cook, and she cooks so well!

Lu Butterfly smiled and said: "What is this, there was ...... in the palace back then" Speaking of this, Lu Butterfly quickly stopped his mouth, and then said: "Back then, Master Wang in the palace was a royal chef in the palace!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu didn't think much about it, just looking at the fish in the pot was excited, and he could eat a good meal at night.

Lu Butterfly saw that it was not too early, so he said: "Just sprinkle the side dishes here when the pot comes out of the pot in a while, and I will go home first." ”

Shen Xiaoyu sent people out, and he was happy when he came back.

Father Shen looked over and said, "The daughter of this family is very good, her family should be well-taught and serious." ”

Shen Xiaoyu nodded, what kind of person does this have to be to love life to make such a good dish?!

When Shen Xiaoyu went to the city the next day, he saw that the people in front of him were familiar at the entrance of the village, so he shouted: "Butterfly? ”

Lu Butterfly heard someone shouting, and as soon as he turned around and saw that it was Shen Xiaoyu, he walked back and walked with Shen Xiaoyu's father and daughter.

"Where are you going so early?" Shen Xiaoyu asked, it was only these stall setups who hurried so early.

Lu Butterfly said: "I want to go and see if I can find some errands in the city." ”

Shen Xiaoyu said: "I'm afraid it's hard to find in the city, and the strength doesn't need a little girl like us, and the people who serve tea and pour water are also domestic slaves in various houses, and then there is craftsmanship." ”

Lu Butterfly thought for a while: "I don't know how to do any handiwork, you can do needlework?" As he spoke, he looked at the shelf that Shen Xiaoyu was carrying on his back, and the packages on it were full of handkerchiefs.

Shen Xiaoyu nodded: "You can do some craftsmanship and make a little money, but I think you are also a craftsman, you are so good at cooking, you must be a cook!" ”

Lu Butterfly smiled bitterly: "No, I went to the city yesterday, and no restaurant was willing to ask me..."

"Why don't you set up a stall and make some food to sell!" Shen Xiaoyu gave an idea.

Lu Butterfly pondered, then nodded: "It's okay, let's take a look!" Then he chatted with Shen Xiaoyu while walking.

After entering the city, Shen Xiaoyu went to his place to put the stall on first, and then said to Lu Butterfly: "These three streets can set up stalls, generally there are many people in the morning, and the stalls are basically closed in the afternoon, you take a look around first, see what people sell, and then make plans!" ”

Lu Butterfly nodded, go around first, and Shen Xiaoyu will take care of the stall here.

I sold a few handkerchiefs in the morning, and yesterday's mother-in-law came to pick up the clothes, put them on and tried them on, and it was really suitable.

"Xiaoyu is really amazing, I still have something I want to change, you wait for me to go back and get it!" My mother-in-law said that she went home and got it!

Shunzi next to him whispered to Shen Xiaoyu: "Oh, that Miss Xue is here again!" ”

When Shen Xiaoyu heard this, he rolled his eyes, Xue Yijun was still so idle.

Xue Yijun looked at the handkerchief at Shen Xiaoyu's stall and said, "Your handkerchief is well embroidered." ”

"Miss Xie Xue complimented me!" Shen Xiaoyu laughed with her, as long as Xue Yijun was stabilized, she would not have to pay the so-called "taxes"!

Xue Yijun craned his neck: "Who praised you!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows, just in time to see Lu Butterfly coming back.

Xue Yijun followed Shen Xiaoyu's gaze, and his face turned black when he saw Lu Butterfly.

Lu Butterfly came back in a circle, and she also paid a little attention in her heart.

"Xiaoyu, I'm optimistic, when will you come back?" Lu Butterfly asked.

Shen Xiaoyu said: "I won't go back until noon, if you want to leave in a hurry, go back first, if you are not in a hurry, sit with me for a while and go back together." ”

Lu Butterfly was not in a hurry to leave, so he went next to Shen Xiaoyu, and also wanted to see how Shen Xiaoyu set up a stall to do business.

Xue Yijun looked at Lu Butterfly, who had red lips and white teeth, and said, "Who is she?" ”

"She, she is the new firewood girl in our village, and Miss Xue will take care of her in the future." Shen Xiaoyu said: "Their family is miserable. After speaking, he looked at Lu Butterfly, this Xue Yijun is too jealous, everyone who looks a little bit on the street on the street looks a little good, Xue Yijun can't look at it, and now he can only let Lu Butterfly sell miserably and sympathize.

Lu Butterfly was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, and said: "Yes, it's miserable, my mother is not well yet, and my family has just come to Sihe Village, and the crops have not been planted, so I can only come out and find a way to make a living!" I'm still so young, and I'll rely on the help of the young lady in the future, otherwise, the whole family will starve to death! "The essence is very well grasped.

Shen Xiaoyu gave Lu Butterfly a thumbs up in his heart, turned his head and said to Xue Yijun: "Miss Xue is kind-hearted, she was willing to exempt me from taxes because she remembered my life-saving grace, she is such a small thing, Miss Xue is a bodhisattva, she will definitely be kind, Miss, you say yes?" ”

Xue Yijun looked at Lu Butterfly, Lu Butterfly pretended to be pitiful, she didn't know what Shen Xiaoyu was going to do before, but this time she understood, if she wanted to set up a stall here in the future, this Miss Xue really had to be coaxed.

Xue Yijun smiled very proudly, there was nothing she Xue Yijun couldn't do in Liaoyang City, so she said: "Since they all begged me like this, I am not a hard-hearted person, just talk to the people of the Yamen tomorrow!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu nodded, and Lu Butterfly thanked him, he got a big bargain today!

Xue Yijun left beautifully, and being flattered is what she should do in the palm of the Xue family!

"It's done, if you come to set up a stall in the future, the people of the yamen won't take your money, but there are still ruffians to collect protection money, so don't give it when the time comes." Shen Xiaoyu said.

"Xiaoyu, thank you!" Lu Butterfly said, she also saw how other stalls and yamen collected money just now, which really helped a lot!
