In fact, Qian Qian knew in his heart that this neatly dressed Mama Liu was just a low-level servant woman from a large family, and she was not qualified to serve in front of her master.

From Mama Liu, at most, you can take on some work such as pulp washing and sewing that others don't look down on, and earn more than ten or twenty copper coins after being stripped layer by layer, and these money are shallow. But she didn't care, she didn't have to do it all the time.

When Mama Liu handed over the objects that needed to be sewn to Qian Qian, she naturally noticed the tile bowl that had been held by Qian Qian. She stretched out her head to look at it with some curiosity, and asked casually, "Yo! Why did Mrs. Yao still hold a tile bowl like a baby, what did she buy so expensive? ”

"I didn't buy it." Qian Qian smiled and uncovered the top layer of the cloth towel: "I made my own steamed cake, I want to go to the city to pay the work, see if it can be sold in Jinshuifang, grandma taste, this is a cold cake, not afraid to eat it cold." ”

"Yao Niangzi is a good craft! This cake looks really exquisite, not inferior to the dim sum made by the chef in our house. Mama Liu's eyes stared at the steamed cake in Qian Qian's hand, and she said politely: "It's just that you want to sell it, how embarrassed am I to taste it." ”

"What did Mama say?" Qian Qian smiled and handed the clay bowl in his hand forward: "You take care of me for this pulp washing and sewing work, and these cakes should be honored even if you are honored." ”

"Mrs. Yao is really good at talking." Mama Liu smiled and narrowed her eyes, and reached out to pinch a steamed cake: "So I'm welcome, look at it is really exquisite, I'll taste it first." ”

Qian Qian's steamed cake, of course, is much stronger than those crude dim sum from the vendors on the market, she is a chef, a small steamed cake, the taste and sweetness are very exquisite, and Mama Liu's eyes lit up after taking a bite: "Oops! It's delicious. Yao Niangzi, your cake is not an ordinary level. The jujube paste dim sum in the small kitchen of our house is just that, not much better than your steamed cake. ”

"Mama praised it." Qian Qian looked modest: "At present, the family is poor and the materials are limited, so we can only do it to this extent." This steamed cake is best if it is served with some osmanthus nectar. ”

As soon as Qian Qian's words came out, Mama Liu looked her up and down a few times in surprise: "Yao Niangzi, I can't see it, others can't think of a precious thing like osmanthus nectar, you are young and knowledgeable, and you look like you are from a big family." ”

"Grandmother used to be a cook." Qian Qian smiled and said nonsense: "The craftsmanship is very good, I worked as an errand in the noble mansion of the Western Capital, and when I returned to my hometown when I was old, the craftsmanship was passed on to me." I thought of sending me to the nobleman's house to be a cook, but I was still a minor, and there was a war in the Western Capital, and the family hurriedly escaped, and encountered a robbery by a rogue, and the three meals were useless, so my father and mother sold me to the Wujiapo family as a child daughter-in-law, and my husband died not long ago, and I was divorced. ”

"Your parents don't wake up, either." Mama Liu sighed and smacked her lips loudly: "Isn't it better to be an errand boy in a big family than to be a child daughter-in-law?" The village can give a few dollars. ”

"Mama may remember that at the end of the year before last, the disaster of the displaced people, the eastern capital was closed, and the displaced people were not allowed to enter the city," Qian Qian shook his head lightly: "At that time, even if I wanted to go into the city to find a living, it would not be possible." ”

"So you came here at that time!" Mama Liu nodded: "I can't complain, there were rumors at that time that there were rebels mixed in with the homeless, so the eastern capital was closed, and the homeless people were stopped outside the city, and the Tang King personally guarded the city, and not a single fly could fly in." But why did your father and mother sell you, a girl with craftsmanship, to be a child daughter-in-law! ”

"Seeing that the family is broken, you can't hold each other and starve to death......" The drama is good at singing and writing, and his voice gradually lowered: "After all...... The younger brother is more important, isn't it? I'm just a woman. ”

"Yes." Mama Liu sighed sympathetically: "It's a pity for your craft." Yao Niangzi, how much do you plan to sell this steamed cake, I don't see much, so I bought it, saving you a trip to Jinshuifang. I just took it home and gave it to my little grandson. ”

"Mama, how embarrassed am I to take your money." Qian Qian hurriedly waved his hand: "Thank you for taking care of me, I also found a sewing job for me today, I ......"

"One yard to one yard, it's not easy for you. There are more than a dozen cakes here, how about two pennies each? Mama Liu lowered her head and took out more than 20 copper coins from her sleeve pocket and stuffed them directly into Qian Qian's hand. Qian Qian's words are good, Mama Liu listens comfortably, and naturally she doesn't mind being a good person, and although Mama Liu's position is not high, she has a lot of oil and water to run errands, and she is not short of money, which is nothing to her.

"Thank you, Mama, for taking care of me." Qian Qian's face showed a somewhat shy look: "I can't afford to buy good materials at the moment, when I get better, I will definitely make some exquisite snacks to honor your old man." ”

"If only you had this heart." Mama Liu smiled and squinted her eyes with a clay bowl: "You have nothing to do in your daily life, you often come here to go around, if you have a suitable errand, I think of you." ”

Qian Qian naturally agreed, said goodbye to Mama Liu, and turned around and walked out. Mama Liu stood at the door and watched her walk away before turning around and returning to the corner door. The little guy guarding the door inquired curiously: "Liu Shun's family, why are you so good at talking today?" Is it possible to change sex? ”

"A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory!" Mama Liu rolled her eyes at the little girl: "That little lady speaks pleasantly and behaves in a regular manner, how can I take care of her more?" ”

"I don't know about you yet." The little guy pouted: "If you don't see any benefits, how can you help in vain." I'm afraid that the price of sewing given by the top will be scraped off a lot by you. ”

"What nonsense!" Mama Liu stretched out her hand and patted it directly on the little girl's brain: "I can afford that money!" It's not that I like to say, but if I talk about benefits, these steamed cakes are benefits. That little lady's craftsmanship is more than two copper coins, and the cooks in our house are not necessarily better than her. With this bowl of snacks alone, I will make a lot of money today. ”

Of course, Qian Qian's craftsmanship is worth more than two copper coins, but Qian Qian also knows that if this bowl of dim sum is really obtained from Jinshuifang, where civilians gather, it will be good to sell a copper coin. After all, this is not a fine pastry made of precious materials, and in these years, labor is the least valuable.

On this trip into the city, Qian Qian brought back more than 40 copper coins, and yesterday the cost of buying grain and red dates was removed, and he made a net profit of more than a dozen copper coins. It doesn't seem like much, but the first day she bought a lot of millet and red dates, enough for her to make a lot of steamed cakes, counted out a dozen copper coins, went to Jinshuifang to buy some soybeans, and then found an oil seller to get some soybean oil, and went to the grocery store to buy needlework, and then went straight home.
