Chapter 14: Up the Mountain
Zhao Kangcheng misunderstood what she meant, thinking that she didn't expect to go to the town to buy ingredients, and asked, "When will you go?" ”
"Where?" Cai Xiaoxiao didn't react for a while.
"Town."
"Hmm...... I want to think about it......" Cai Xiaoxiao thought about her plan in her heart, and then said, "The day after tomorrow." ”
Zhao Kangcheng was a little surprised: "The day after tomorrow? Aren't you in a hurry? ”
"Well, in a hurry, but you can't go until the day after tomorrow." Cai's novels.
"Well, whatever you want."
Zhao Wang's family learned that Zhao Kangcheng gave all his savings to Cai Xiaoxiao, and didn't say anything, Zhao Kangqiang and Zhao Xiaoli were looking forward to Cai Xiaoxiao's next ability to make all kinds of snacks, Cai Xiaoxiao knew that this was everyone's silent support for her.
Zhao Kangcheng and Zhao Wangshi mentioned that Cai Xiaoxiao wanted to go to the back mountain, but they were expected to be strongly opposed by Zhao Wang's family, and Cai Xiaoxiao was helpless.
On the other side, after the old man Cai and his wife got the recipe, Cai couldn't wait to test it, she looked at the content of the recipe, and said with some disdain: "What, I thought it was so complicated, it turned out to be so simple." ”
"Say what, hurry up and do it for me." Old man Cai urged.
However, although Cai's thought it was very simple, she failed many times, and the reason was because she was reluctant to put oil, even if a little oil was made into scallion pancakes and fritters, but the taste was definitely inferior to Cai Xiaoxiao, and the angry old man Cai kept scolding Cai.
Cai's heart was aggrieved, she thought that she couldn't bear the child to trap the wolf, and if she made money later, she wouldn't worry about running out of oil to eat, so she gritted her teeth and finally decided to put enough oil according to what was written on the recipe, and then finally succeeded! Old man Cai and Cai's couldn't wait to taste it, and then their eyes lit up: It's really delicious! The two couldn't hold back for a while, and ate all the goods they made, and the two had to stay up all night to continue to make them.
The next morning, Cai Xiaoxiao offered to send Zhao Kangqiang and Zhao Xiaoli to school, but Zhao Kangcheng did not stop her, although he thought it was not necessary.
On the way there, Cai Xiaoxiao saw the old man Cai and his wife selling scallion pancakes and fritters on the street, but to her surprise, Cai was arguing with several villagers, and the old man Cai next to him was smoking a cigarette while accosting Cai's words, and listened to a few words sporadically, as if it was because of the price.
Hawkers, you don't need to understand to guess that it must be that Old Man Cai and his wife set the price a little outrageously and caused the dissatisfaction of the villagers: "Xiaoqiang, Xiaoli, let's go." "They'd better ignore it and leave.
"Oh." Zhao Kangqiang and Zhao Xiaoli also saw the scallion pancakes in the basket and asked Cai Xiaoxiao: "Sister-in-law, are Grandpa Cai and Grandma Cai selling scallion pancakes?" ”
Cai Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them, saw the greed in their eyes, touched their heads, and said, "I'll make you something to eat at night." "I guess the evening will be rewarding.
"What's delicious?" Zhao Kangqiang and Zhao Xiaoli asked hurriedly, their eyes full of anticipation.
"Secret~" Cai Xiao smiled mysteriously.
"Huh? Sister-in-law, good sister-in-law, just tell us~" The two of them pulled one of Cai Xiaoxiao's arms and pleaded coquettishly.
Cai Xiaoxiao let the two of them shake themselves, but still didn't let go and said: "No, no, no, I have to wait for the evening, this is a surprise~"
"Ah, sister-in-law is stingy!"
"It's useless to attack verbally~"
The three of them were playing here, which attracted the attention of Old Man Cai's gang, and when Old Man Cai and his wife saw Cai Xiaoxiao, their expressions sank at first, and then raised a smiling smile. When the villagers saw Cai Xiaoxiao, their eyes lit up, as if they saw a savior, and one of them shouted at Cai Xiaoxiao: "The daughter-in-law of the Zhao family!" ”
"Uh...... in trouble! Cai Xiaoxiao looked at each other awkwardly - why is it Aunt Su again! Helplessly waved at the other party and responded, "Good morning, everyone...... Is there something wrong with Aunt Sun? I'm about to send my little brother and sister to school now, and I'm about to be late, if you have anything to do, wait until I come back, okay? Little brother and sister, let's go to the school quickly. Without giving the other party a chance to interject, he pulled Zhao Kangqiang and Zhao Xiaoli away in a hurry without the slightest pause.
What are you kidding, she doesn't want to get into unnecessary trouble by staying here.
The villagers watched the three of them leave in a daze, and they didn't even react: "There is still half an hour before the school lecture......
Sent Zhao Kangqiang and Zhao Xiaoli to the school, after watching the two enter the school, Cai Xiaoxiao turned around and left, but not to go home, but to turn around and walk towards the end of the village, she specially proposed to send Zhao Kangqiang and Zhao Xiaoli to the school in order to find an opportunity to sneak to the back mountain, not to be known by Zhao Kangcheng.
Although they must have noticed her delay in returning later, she had already entered the mountain at that time, but the prime minister must have been very angry afterwards.
Although the back mountain is dangerous, if you want to get free ingredients, you have to go into the mountain, and often danger is accompanied by opportunity. In her previous life, in order to obtain better ingredients and learn more about food, she often had the opportunity to travel around the world, and experienced both mountains and seas, and it was precisely because of these experiences and the experience accumulated on the way that her cooking skills improved little by little, so that she could have one more skill to make a living in this ancient world.
Moreover, there will not be many beasts that go out during the day. Cai Xiaoxiao stood at the foot of the back mountain and thought.
Looking at the back mountain up close, it is really big, there are countless trees on it, lush, and it is actually a very good scenery for the village, if it is not for the trouble of wild beasts, most of the villagers should be willing to take root at the foot of the mountain.
Cai Xiaoxiao walked up the mountain, and when he encountered the first big tree, he stepped forward and broke off a branch to explore the grass, after all, on the mountain, especially on the ground where the grass is so lush, there will definitely be all kinds of snakes hidden, if you encounter an ordinary snake, forget it, in case you are bitten by a poisonous snake, it is not fun.
On the other side, the quarrel between Old Man Cai and the villagers continued, and after Aunt Sun's big mouth, the villagers also knew the reason why the fritters and scallion pancakes originally sold by Cai Xiaoxiao were sold by Old Man Cai and his wife, which did not affect the villagers, no matter who sold them, as long as the things were the same.
But they still underestimated the badness of Old Man Cai and his wife, although the things made by the two were no different from Cai Xiaoxiao, and the taste was basically the same, but! The price is very different! In front of Cai Xiaoxiao, a copper plate can be exchanged for a scallion pancake, but on the side of Old Man Cai and his wife, it takes ten copper plates to exchange for a scallion pancake, which is simply a fraud!
"Old man Cai, we are all from the same village, it's a bit unkind for you to blackmail us like this!" Uncle Zhang, who lives at the entrance of the village, said dissatisfiedly.
