Early the next morning, Shen's father took out a set of molds, five-petal flowers, round lace, Shen Pomegranate looked at it, and said, "Dad, you are really careful!" "Give the pastry a nice look, it will definitely sell better!

After that, Shen Pomegranate and Zheng's Liang made pastries at home, Shen Shu followed Shen's father to the county seat to sell broth first, and when he came back at noon, the whole family went into battle, and in the afternoon, he finally wrapped out a hundred catties of pastries.

"Let's eat first!" Shen's father gave an order, everyone got busy again, and the extra leftovers directly scared the soup, Shen Pomegranate put some dried shrimp and green vegetables, and a pot of chowder rice cake soup was made, everyone ate baldly, and continued to work when they were full.

The two pots of mutton soup had been almost cooked in the afternoon, first transferred to the bucket, and then began to steam the pastries, pot after pot. The wooden board is covered with a white cloth, and a pot is placed on the pot as soon as it comes out, and the shapes of each one are also good-looking, and Shen Pomegranate is full of joy.

She didn't believe that no one would buy such a beautiful pastry!

The family worked until midnight, and finally steamed all the pastries, Shen Pomegranate was sleepy, so he ran back to the room to sleep.

"Go to sleep, it'll be dawn in two hours!" Zheng said and hurried back to sleep, Liang also went to bed early because of his age, and Shen's father and Shen Shu covered all the pastries with a piece of cloth, saving them from falling ashes and attracting flies!

As soon as the morning dawned, Shen Pomegranate was separated from the bed board, it was too sleepy, and the family was in a similar state, but when they thought that this pastry could be sold for money today, they all had motivation, and they ate some cakes and porridge casually early in the morning, and the family went out, and the Liang family stayed to watch the family.

As soon as I arrived in the county, there were more people, and all the small traders opened their doors to welcome customers, and the annual begging festival was so important!

"Here it is! Let's put it on first! Father Shen said that he and Shen Shu put the stall on the stall first, and after setting up the stall, Zheng and Shen Pomegranate put the pastries on the table, the space on the stall was limited, and there were a lot of four pastries, and the rest were put on the cart to wait for replenishment. The bucket of broth is also placed, and there is no delay at both ends.

Du Xuanmo next to him also came, set up a shelf, and the flower sticks were hung on the clips in a row by row, and when the breeze passed, the flower sticks and tassels were gently shaken, which was quite pleasing to the eye!

"You're early! You look really good in this mess! Shen Shiliu said, she found that Du Xuanmo had a temperament, that is, his gestures were very elegant and bookish, and he looked pleasing to the eyes, and even made the stall look like a work of art.

Du Xuanmo responded with a smile: "It's all the ideas given by the pomegranate girl!" He and her mother were also busy for two days, colored paper, and tassels, he wrote for two days in a row, and now his hands are still sore, but the result is good.

The sun is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more pedestrians on the street, and the pastries on the Shen family's side and the flower sticks on the Du family's side are selling very well, but everyone knows that this is just the beginning, and there will be more people in the afternoon!

Shen pomegranate's pastry is the only one in the city, the method is really unique, the taste is also sweet, some people buy it in the morning and come to buy it in the afternoon, and the stall is very hot!

Shen Shimei is happy, and now he knows a lot of money in his arms without counting! The family was busy, Shen Shimei was used to money, and Shen Shu looked at the stall, afraid that there would be thieves who would steal things from people.

Du Xuanmo is the same, Du Niangzi brought a new batch of flower sticks to replenish the stock in the afternoon, and she brought the written flower sticks with tassels, and her hands were much rougher.

"Business is so good!" Du Niangzi was happy, and then went over to talk to Shen Shimei.

"My family Xuanmo said that the idea this time was still from you, pomegranate girl, thank you so much!" Du Niangzi said with a smile.

Shen Shiliu replied: "Aunt is also so polite, the neighbors can help it, not to mention that in winter, Du Gongzi said that my family's stove can be put in the yard of my aunt's house, which saves my family a lot of trouble, and helps to come up with an idea of a trivial matter!"

Du Niangzi saw that Shen Pomegranate was also a cheerful person, and she also liked it, and said: "Auntie still has a grinding plate, if you want to use it in the future, just use it!" ”

As soon as Shen Pomegranate heard that there was a grinding plate, people were a spirit, the grinding plate was not easy to polish, and the Du family might really use it after they had a grinding plate!

"Then thank you aunt first, I will definitely go to my aunt's to disturb in the future!" Shen Shiliu said.

Du Niangzi saw that Shen Shimei was busy collecting money, so she came back first, and her own side was also very busy, so she also had to help collect money.

As soon as the sky was dark, all the pastries on the Shen family's side were sold out, and more than 100 catties of pastries were sold out in one day.

"During the Mid-Autumn Festival, we will come to this market to sell, and everyone will come too!" Shen Shiliu shouted, everyone nodded, and the Shen family closed the stall.

As soon as Shen Shiliu turned his head, he saw that Du Xuanmo had not yet closed the stall, thinking that it was time to release river lanterns and complain at night, and it was estimated that Du Xuanmo's business would be better, so he went over to say hello.

"How? Today's harvest is not small! Shen Shiliu asked, she watched Du Xuanmo during the day, and there was a constant flow of customers.

"It's really good, it's sold a lot, and I want to sell it again in the Mid-Autumn Festival!" Du Xuanmo said with a smile.

"You can't sell flower sticks during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Reunion Festival, you sell Chinese lanterns, you don't need more, you do it exquisitely, sell it more expensively, someone must buy it!" Shen Shiliu made a suggestion.

Du Xuanmo nodded: "I know, when the time comes, I'll let the pomegranate girl check for me!" ”

"Well said, well said! I'm leaving, see you later! Shen Shiliu said and left.

Du Xuanmo watched Shen Shiliu leave, and he still had to entertain guests, but he had already begun to think about making lanterns in his heart. He felt that since he met Shen Pomegranate, it was all a good thing!

When the Shen family arrived home, the Liang family had already prepared dinner, and several people had to deal with it during the day, and they didn't eat well, and they were so tired that they didn't have any appetite at this time.

However, the family didn't say that they would rest, and the sheep's head and sheep's hooves were quickly packed up, and they stayed up overnight and sold tomorrow without delay. After Shen Pomegranate put down all the things, he went back to sleep first, and Liang saw that everyone was tired like this, so he stayed by the stove to add firewood and fire, and went to sleep in the middle of the night.

Shen Pomegranate almost didn't get up in the morning, reluctantly walked to the stove to look at the broth in the pot, and after making sure that it was still delicious, he lay back down, poor Shen's father and Shen Shu insisted on going to the county seat to continue to buy broth for the morning.

At noon, the two fathers and sons came back to eat and fell asleep, and Shen Shiliu and Zheng continued to clean up the sheep's head and sheep's hooves, and then it was completely relaxed.

"After a good night's sleep, let's count out the money we earned yesterday!" Zheng said.

Shen Shiliu nodded, and then the three of them began to count the money.

When it was almost dark, the Shen family father and son had slept enough, and as soon as they went out, they saw Shen Shiliu writing down one by one.

"How many?" Father Shen leaned over and asked, although I don't know how much, but it must be a lot.

Zheng frowned and muttered, afraid of counting wrongly, and waited until the last one to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Nine thousand four hundred and eighty wen!" Liang said a number, and the family was excited!

You must know that a thousand wen is a tael of silver, and they earned more than nine taels in one day, which is enough to marry a daughter-in-law and give a dowry!

Shen Shimei giggled happily, Shen's father giggled happily, and the whole family giggled happily!

"Great, tomorrow I will get the money and exchange it for silver taels and save it!" Father Shen said, such a large sum of money, it is good to exchange it for a silver ticket, otherwise it is not easy to hide so much silver at home!

"Good!" Shen Shiliu said, dinner was added directly, fried mushrooms and boiled fish soup, and after the family ate a ditch full of trenches, they were busy with their own work.

Shen Shiliu put the account book away, and now he can write one, two, three, four, and no longer need to draw the sun.

Liang came over and told Zheng that it was time for him to go, and Zheng was very reluctant: "Mother, why don't you stay for a few more days, I was busy before, but this time I am free, I can accompany you more!" ”

"Yes, mother-in-law, I came to help with the work, and I didn't enjoy the good fortune!" Father Shen said that he still respects this mother-in-law very much, just like his mother-in-law.

Liang shook his head: "It's not that you will leave immediately, you should leave after a few days, and your eldest brother and sister-in-law will not be able to leave!" ”

As soon as the eldest brother and sister-in-law were mentioned, Zheng's sighed, it was not that his brother and sister-in-law were not good to his mother, Zheng's sister-in-law's family was also poor, and there were three children in the family who were just the age of eating poor Lao Tzu, although they were filial to her mother, they were powerless.

"Mother, the eldest brother is hard, why don't you go to the second brother's place to live for a few days?" Zheng said.

Liang shook his head: "Your second sister-in-law is not in good health, she needs someone to take care of her, it will be too troublesome for me to go, although your eldest brother is hard, the child can work now, just get through this period!" ”

Zheng knew that his mother was distressed about her children and didn't want to cause trouble to her children, although she had the heart to let her mother live all the time, and she also knew that her husband would not object, but the two elder brothers couldn't hold it on their faces, and they would never let their mother support her in her place.

As soon as Shen Shiliu heard that her grandmother was leaving, she said, "Then grandma is also in a hurry to leave, I will sell some more grain tomorrow, make pastries and take grandma away." ”

"Okay, Pomegranate is sensible, I know that I feel sorry for my grandmother!" Liang replied with a smile.

Shen Pomegranate naturally didn't just bring some pastries, when her grandmother came, she brought a lot of things, and there were a lot of dried peanuts and fish, so she couldn't bring some more. Although they are all Zhuang households, Shen Pomegranate has something else here!

Early the next morning, Shen Pomegranate and Shen Shu went to the river, and while letting the ducks into the river, they took nets to fish.

"Pomegranate, what is this meat for?" Shen Shu looked at the few pieces of shredded meat hanging from the net, although there were not many, but he always felt that it was a waste.

Shen Shiliu said: "Fishing for turtles with shredded meat, grandma is leaving, I will make her a pot of turtle soup and take it back, and my uncle and aunt will be regarded as courtesy." ”

Shen Shu nodded, and then cast the net into the river. Shen Pomegranate asked him not to close the net too quickly, Shen Shu waited, and after waiting for a while, Shen Pomegranate closed the net, and there were two old turtles lying inside.

Shen Pomegranate is happy, the old turtles are very fat, it is estimated that no one ate them before, they are considered to be the top of the food chain in this small river.

"It's really good, there are so many fish and shrimp, let's go!" As he spoke, Shen Shiliu transferred all the things in the net to the bucket, and he twisted the straw rope with the cattail grass by the river, and kept the two old turtles.

The brother and sister came back with the duck, and Shen Shimei put the old turtle in a wooden basin and raised it, waiting for the grandmother to stew when the god left.
