Chapter 017: Taking Advantage
This kind of harmless thing, of course, Shen Xiangmiao has no reason not to agree.
Meng Weisheng was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, and picked up a few more baked cakes for Shen Xiangmiao and Lu's family.
Shen Xiangmiao and the Lu family wanted to excuse themselves, but Meng Weisheng said: "Today, everyone is blessed by the sisters of the Shen family, if you don't accept me, I will be annoyed, and I will sell the baked cakes well, and I have to treat you to a good meal." ”
Looking at it like this, it won't work if you don't accept it.
"Then we're welcome." Shen Xiangmiao smiled slightly and put away the baked cakes.
Meng Weisheng also smiled innocently.
After another quarter of an hour, the braised skewers were sold out, not a single one was left, and the peanuts were also sold cleanly.
After putting away the recovered bamboo skewers and the casserole containing the lo-mei, Shen Xiangmiao, Lu Shi and Tie Dan said goodbye to Meng Weisheng.
"Sister of the Shen family, what time will you set up a stall tomorrow, and if someone asks later, I will answer." Meng Weisheng asked.
Shen Xiangmiao thought for a while: "Around three o'clock in the morning, it takes some effort to rush from the village to the town. ”
"Cheng, sister-in-law and sister-in-law should slow down on the road."
Shen Xiangmiao and the three of them left with bamboo baskets on their backs, and went to the cloth village to buy some muslin cloth to make new clothes.
Lu Shi pulled Shen Xiangmiao and Tie Dan twice before leaving, but Shen Xiangmiao stopped her: "Mother, why don't you pull two clothes for yourself, I see that the lake blue and emerald green are very good-looking." ”
"Mother is old and doesn't pay attention to dressing, just you and Tie Dan wear new clothes." Lu Shi smiled.
"Mother, I got more than 800 yuan for selling marinated skewers today, in addition to the money for buying meat, vegetables and bamboo sticks, I also earned about 400, if this goes on like this, it will be twelve taels of silver a month, so much money is it difficult to take care of my mother's new clothes? Mother, you just listen to me, buy a few feet of cloth. ”
"Otherwise, Tie Dan and I will stay in Buzhuang and not leave." Shen Xiangmiao sprinkled Jiao.
Lu Shi pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded: "That's it." He pulled a few feet of the fabric that Shen Xiangmiao said just now.
I bought fabrics, some snow cream to wipe my face, green salt to brush my teeth, and then I went to the butcher shop to buy pork and pig water, tofu, yuba and other things.
Today, pork belly and pork liver are the best, and Shen Xiangmiao bought more.
Shen Xiangmiao didn't forget to buy some snacks such as stove candy and twist flowers for Tie Dan, and by the way, she also brought some to the third uncle's house.
After buying these things, the bamboo baskets of the Lu family and Shen Xiangmiao were already stuffed to the brim, and at this time, it was noon, and the stomachs of the three of them were already rumbling with hunger.
At a wonton stall on the corner of the street, they each asked for a bowl of wontons, accompanied by the baked cakes given by Meng Weisheng, and ate to their heart's content, and then planned to go home.
"Let's go to West Street and talk to your grandfather Xianghe, otherwise it won't be good if he comes to the street to find us in the middle of the night." Lu proposed.
Shen Xiangmiao nodded, pulled the iron egg and followed the Lu family to West Street.
Soon found Shen Xianghe, and Lu explained the situation to him.
"Sold out so quickly? It's not easy. Shen Xianghe was quite surprised.
There are a lot of people selling things in the town, and Shen Xianghe originally thought that he would have to wait until evening.
"It's not that Uncle You's guidance is good, let's find the right place, and this will sell fast." Lu Shi took two stove candy and twist flowers and handed them over: "Take them back and give them to the children." ”
Shen Xianghe used them to drive them and guide them, and the Lu family felt that they should return something, so that the relationship could be long-term.
Shen Xianghe finally accepted it after a few polite words, feeling that the Lu family was indeed very good at behaving and doing things, and there was a constant smile on his face.
Shen Xianghe's baskets and straw sandals have not been sold out yet, and he plans to wait a little longer, and then leave when it is almost dark, and Shen Xiangmiao and the others will go back first.
The sun is big at noon, but the pergola in the town is to collect tea money, so the mother and wife go to the big tree on the road outside the town to enjoy the shade, and wait for the sun to be not so big, before rushing back.
By the time I got home, the sun had already set.
After a busy day, they were all tired, and they were sweaty and dirty, so Lu went to boil hot water to bathe the two children, and after taking a bath, Lu prepared dinner, and Shen Xiangmiao went to the third uncle Shen Fuhai's house.
The third uncle was still sharpening bamboo sticks in the yard, and the third aunt was also helping on the side, but the children were missing.
"Third uncle, third aunt." Shen Xiangmiao came into the courtyard and greeted with a smile: "What about Qiaohui and them?" ”
"The two brothers took their sister out to catch the gnats." The third aunt Zhang said with a smile.
"I'm going to the town to sell food today, and the business is good, thanks to the third uncle's bamboo sticks." Shen Xiangmiao smiled, and took out the twist flowers and stove candy held in the paper: "Snacks for the children." ”
"Today, Qiaohui is still clamoring for candy, but it just so happened that you sent it." Zhang smiled and took it.
"The braised skewers I made were specially left before I went to the town to sell them, and I asked the third uncle and third aunt to try them."
Today, Shen Xiangmiao specially left some of the lo-mei that was not sold in the town, and it was specially brought to Shen Fuhai and Zhang's in the evening.
It turns out that the food that Shen Xiangmiao said is braised skewers.
Zhang glanced at it and smiled: "This lo-mei skewers are sold with bamboo skewers, but they are fresh, if I am afraid that I also want to buy a few skewers to taste is not more chic, the fragrant seedlings are really ingenious, can come up with such a clever way, this braised skewers smell also fragrant, must be delicious." ”
Shen Xiangmiao was a little embarrassed to be praised, and said with a smile: "The third uncle and third aunt are delicious, and then go to my house to get it." ”
That being said, but the situation of the second room, even if they start to do some small business, at most it is just to subsidize the family, how can Shen Fuhai and Zhang be embarrassed to agree?
"Xiangmiao, I have cut five or six hundred today, how many do you count?" Shen Fuhai diverted the topic and brought over the neatly bundled bamboo skewers.
The whole bundle is six bundles, that is, six hundred, according to what Shen Xiangmiao said before, one hundred and fifteen yuan, that is, ninety yuan, plus those yesterday, Shen Xiangmiao gave Shen Fuhai one hundred and forty yuan.
"Today's plus yesterday's ones, the whole bundle is one hundred and thirty-five Wen, and I didn't count the remaining half of the bundle, so I just made up a whole number, and let me get some cheap from the third uncle."
After cutting the bamboo sticks for two days, I got so much money, which is faster than selling bamboo baskets, it can be seen that the price given by Shen Xiangmiao is indeed not low, where is the price of the three rooms in Shen Xiangmiao's mouth, it is clear that the three rooms are cheap.
Shen Fuhai said that he didn't accept anything, only took some of them, and said: "Give a hundred dollars is too much, and you can take the rest back to buy some meat to eat, see that the iron egg and your mother's body are not very good, so you have to make up for it." ”
"The third uncle said some kind words, what I gave was the market price, and it took money to buy bamboo, and the third uncle earned it was hard money, if the third uncle refused to accept it, I would do it for someone else." Shen Xiangmiao pouted, looking unhappy.
