020 Selling cakes

Zhou Huihui didn't sleep either, she was doing needlework.

But her eyes were dull, looking ahead, the movements in her hands were very slow, and she was poked by the tip of a needle from time to time, and she was thinking about things at first glance.

"Mother, your fingers are about to become a hornet's nest!"

Hearing Jiang Xiaonian's voice, Zhou Huihui came back to her senses, touched her fingers embarrassedly, and said, "Xiaonian, why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk, and when I saw that my father and mother hadn't slept yet, I came in."

After that, she climbed onto Zhou Huihui's bed, leaned over and asked, "Mother, what are you thinking, your hands are bleeding." ”

Zhou Huihui's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Jiang Xiaonian and said, "Mother was thinking just now, the peach blossom cake you made tonight tastes very good, if you take it to the town and sell it, I don't know if it will be sold." ”

When Jiang Xiaonian heard it, she felt that it was feasible, when she went to the town before, she had never seen anyone selling flower cakes.

"Mother, why don't we try it tomorrow?"

Zhou Huihui saw that she agreed, and nodded again and again: "Okay, let's try some tomorrow first, and if it sells well, we will continue to do it." ”

Jiang Xiaonian nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, then I have to get up early tomorrow, I'll go back to sleep first!" ”

Unexpectedly, Zhou Huihui gradually had the idea of doing business, they had been self-contained before, doing nothing new, and naturally they couldn't make money.

The next day, before dawn, Zhou Huihui and Jiang Xiaonian went into the mountain and picked the peach blossoms that were still carrying dewdrops into the basket.

When the two came back, the sky was just dawning, Jiang Xiaonian looked at the sky, it was only about five o'clock.

Both had dew on their hair and eyelashes, glowing white, foggy in the morning, and the weather during the day was generally fine.

I hope they will sell well today.

Jiang Xiaonian was busy in the kitchen, while Zhou Huihui turned the thick stone stick in the stone mortar and grinded flour in the backyard according to her daughter's idea.

Sure enough, after using this method, the flour was much thinner.

By the time Jiang Xiaonian and the noodles were ready, it was already dawn, and Zhou Huihui had been studying beside her, as long as she learned it, she wouldn't have to work so hard for her daughter in the future.

The two of them put a clean burlap in the bamboo basket, put dozens of cakes in it, and covered them with cloths, and then set off for the town.

Jiang Xiaonian came to Jiang Wei's room.

"Brother Xiao, my mother and I are going to the town later, you can follow us."

Xiao Jinhe quickly got up from the bed and said, "You're going to the town today?" ”

He would like to stay here for two more days.

"Well, you're ready, we're about to go."

"Oh......" Xiao Jinhe was very reluctant.

There's no reason to stay here at the moment.

At about six o'clock when the three of them set off, Jiang Wei had already gone to the school, and Jiang Mengliang also got up early and went to the mountains.

Eating peach blossom cakes for breakfast, walking on the road in the early morning, it is still very comfortable.

An hour or two later, the three of them arrived in town.

Jiang Xiaonian turned his head to Xiao Jinhe and said, "Brother Xiao, we have arrived in the town, you should be able to find your way home by yourself, right?" Go back yourself. ”

Judging by his dress, he must be a child of a big family, and if he is sent to the door, all kinds of things that are difficult to get out of may happen, delaying them from selling peach blossom cakes.

Xiao Jinhe nodded and said, "It's okay, I know the way, I'll go back by myself." ”

After that, he took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Jiang Xiaonian's hand.

"If you have any difficulties in the future, take this jade pendant to the town Su Mansion to find a steward, and he will help you."

Jiang Xiaonian hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the jade pendant, in case something really happened in the future, it would be good to have a place to ask for help.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Xiao." Jiang Xiaonian showed a bright smile.

Xiao Jinhe looked at the little girl in front of him, a little reluctant, but he still resolutely turned around and left.

A person who meets in Pingshui may never have an intersection in the future, and there is no need to invest too much emotion.

After Zhou Huihui and Jiang Xiaonian saw Xiao Jinhe leave, they walked to the market.

The market is very lively, and many people sell their own home-grown products or wild vegetables dug in the mountains, but most of them cannot be eaten directly, and only a few noodle restaurants sell breakfast.

However, their noodles are very coarse, and they are just filling their stomachs, and there is no taste to speak of.

Just such a bowl of noodles costs five cents a bowl, and there are a few green vegetables in it, and I don't even see the shredded meat.

In addition to noodle restaurants, there are also cakes and buns sold outside, the cakes are steamed from ordinary flour dough, and the buns are small balls of stuffing with wild vegetables and meat filling.

Zhou Huihui found a gathering place selling breakfast and stopped, and not far from it was a small vendor selling cakes and steamed buns.

She was a little embarrassed carrying the basket and didn't know how to shout.

I had never shown my face like this before, and when I stood in the crowd at first glance, my face was flushed, and I didn't shout a word.

"Sell bread! Delicious cakes! Fragrant and sweet! Jiang Xiaonian shouted at the top of his voice.

Zhou Huihui heard her daughter's voice, hurriedly uncovered the cloth inside the basket, and stood aside at a loss.

Jiang Xiaonian's voice was sweet and loud, attracting many passers-by.

"This cake looks very good, how can you sell it?"

The flour dumplings next to it are one penny, the green-stuffed buns are two pennies, and the meat-filled buns are two cents.

Jiang Xiaonian showed a sweet smile and said, "Two pennies for one." ”

It was made of honey, not much worse than the meat filling, and the flour was much finer, so she could guarantee that it would be better than the coarse buns and breads.

The man who asked the price showed a skeptical look and said, "It's so expensive?" Is there meat filling in it too? ”

Jiang Xiaonian shook his head: "There is no meat filling in it, but I can guarantee that it is better than the meat filling buns." ”

"It's so expensive without minced meat?" The man shook his head, intending to turn and leave.

Zhou Huihui tugged at the corner of Jiang Xiaonian's clothes and whispered, "Xiaonian, otherwise we will also sell it for three cents." ”

Jiang Xiaonian turned around and glanced at her and said, "Mother, don't worry. ”

After that, he turned around and shouted at the man: "Uncle, the taste of our cake is definitely not bad, do you want to buy one and taste it first?" It's not delicious, you don't need money. ”

As soon as he heard that it was not delicious and did not cost money, the man's steps hesitated a lot, and he turned around and said, "Okay, I'll buy one and try it." ”

There are also many people watching and watching the excitement.

Jiang Xiaonian hurriedly handed over a peach blossom cake, and after the man took it, he didn't look at it, and sent it directly to his mouth.

"How?"

The peach blossom cake was sweet and delicious, and the look on the man's face changed, he thought he could eat a cake without spending money, but now, he couldn't say anything if it wasn't delicious.

"It tastes really good, it's soft and fragrant, give me four more."

After that, he handed over ten cents.
