After Shen Shiliu sent the guests away, he sat back in his place, and after all the accounts should be entered and sorted out, he continued to read his own books, ignoring Song Lianhua at all.

Song Lianhua saw that she was kind but not as good as others, so she finally stomped her feet and left without even saying hello.

Shen Shiliu secretly glanced at Song Lianhua and smiled, she is still a rival in love, and she doesn't need to have any sympathy for her rival.

It took a while for Du Xuanmo to come back with a lot of things, and Shen Shimei went to pick up a handful, and at first glance it was all materials.

"You're really fast!" Shen Shiliu said with a smile, and the red paper and colored yarn were also bought.

"I was worried about it before, but if I thought about it earlier, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry!" Du Xuanmo smiled bitterly.

"It's also very good, it's still too late, write the Spring Festival couplets first, there is still some time for the lanterns!" Shen Shiliu said.

Du Xuanmo nodded, finally a little hopeful.

Shen Shiliu saw that everyone had returned, so he went to take the account books and rosters, and after handing over to Du Xuanmo, he was ready to withdraw.

"Pomegranate!" Du Xuanmo saw that Shen Shimei had taken five or six steps, so he shouted, this time without bringing the word "girl" again.

As soon as Shen Shiliu turned around, he heard Du Xuanmo say, "Thank you!" ”

"You're welcome!" Shen Shiliu replied with a smile, and then turned around and continued walking.

She and Du Xuanmo, this is a little closer.

Shen Shiliu returned home in the afternoon, and then went to ask Zheng: "Mother, how much money do we have in our family first?" ”

Zheng was boiling water and replied casually: "There are still seven or eight taels, and the copper coins have not been counted." ”

Shen Shimei pondered, Du Xuanmo only had five taels, and it was estimated that he would not be able to make up fifteen taels for the New Year, so he said to Zheng: "Our family will make rice cakes from tomorrow!" ”

When Zheng heard this, he looked over and asked, "Will you start doing it tomorrow?" ”

Shen Shiliu nodded: "Do it early, do more, and strive to sell more before the year, otherwise the family will have to do New Year's goods, and the cost will not be small!" ”

Shen Shiliu went back to the room and counted the money in his hand, the Zheng family only received half of the money from selling ducks before, and the other half was left for Shen Shimei as pocket money, and the girl wanted to buy something and had plenty of money.

"It's only two taels, so little!" Shen Shiliu said that this rice cake must be sold for more money!

The next day, Shen Pomegranate first helped Shen's father sell broth, and then had a casual meal in the county seat.

"Dad, do you want another one?" Shen Pomegranate was holding a meat bun in his hand, and they came to Shen Shu for a while, so they went to the grain store to buy grain, this time they had to do more, so they had to buy more raw materials.

Shen Shu came back and ate two buns, and the father and son began to act.

Shen Pomegranate calculated the proportion and weight of various raw materials last night, and directly gave the list to be used to the grain store owner today, and the grain store owner began to quote.

"The price is okay, the boss said that we sell more, and giving two catties of jujubes is an addition!" Shen Shiliu said.

Father Shen nodded, paid the money, and then went to the butcher shop to buy sheep goods.

"Let's go, get busy when you go home, and sell and do it these days!" Shen Shiliu said.

Father Shen thought for a while and said, "There will be a big New Year's market in a few days!" ”

"Participate, participate, and earn!" Shen Shiliu said that their county is estimated to be not as prosperous as Kyoto City, but the purchasing power of the residents is still okay, and they are busy for a year, and they are all worried about a good year, as long as the things are good, people are willing to spend money!

Father Shen saw that he still needed to go to the big market, so he went to the yamen to ask, and happened to see that Du Niangzi of the Du family was also there.

"Aunt is there too?" Shen Shiliu stepped forward to speak, and as soon as Du Niangzi looked back and saw that it was the Shen family, she greeted her with a smile.

"Madame, is she also here to get the stall sign for the fair?" Father Shen asked.

Du Niangzi smiled and nodded: "Yes, my family Xuanmo said that I want to make more." ”

"Is my aunt feeling better? How did Brother Du let his aunt come out to get the sign? Shen Shiliu asked, Du Niangzi was not sick for three days and early for four days, and her face was still a little pale when she looked at this.

Du Niangzi coughed lightly: "My body is not very angry, Xuan Mo originally said that he would get it himself, I was afraid that he would be tired of taking care of a lot of things alone, so he came over!" Du Niangzi said that if she could, she didn't want to be a dragger, so she could do whatever she could.

"Auntie come and wait, my father will go and get it immediately, just take our family directly!" After Shen Shiliu finished speaking, he looked at Shen's father.

Father Shen smiled and nodded, and went in first. There is no money for the New Year's goods, and the yamen will go to the stall to collect the money for management when the day comes.

"Pomegranate girl, I heard Xuanmo say, this small business is still a trick you gave, every time it bothers you, aunt thank you here." Du Niangzi said, now she looks at Shen Pomegranate's chubby face is also a lot more pleasing to the eye, Shen Pomegranate seems to be getting thinner and thinner, although it still looks a little big and round, but it is a lot worse than the meat ball at the beginning.

Shen Shiliu shook his head: "I heard Brother Du say that he wants to participate in the scientific examination, but he can't be stumped by the silver and miss this good opportunity." ”

Du Niangzi smiled with satisfaction: "No wonder my teacher Xuanmo praises you, and the pomegranate girl is indeed very sensible." ”

Shen Shiliu smiled faintly and didn't say anything. But I'm still very happy in my heart, Du Xuanmo often praises her!

Shen's father came out with the sign after a while, and the two families were still next to each other.

Du Niangzi took the sign and thanked her and left first, and the Shen family also hurried home and prepared to start work.

Because it is selling while doing it, a family of four is a little too much to do, and last time Liang was still helping to do it together, this time the family really felt a little too busy to work.

"Mother, do you want to call Sister Xiuhua over?" Shen Shiliu asked Zheng.

"Xiuhua? Call it too! Zheng said and went out to Hong's house.

Hong Xiuhua of the Hong family is sewing quilts at home, dismantling and washing the quilt a year ago, and then sweeping the house when the lamp is on February 23.

"Is Xiuhua at home?" Zheng shouted at the door.

As soon as Hong Xiuhua heard someone calling her, she hurried out, and sure enough, she saw the Zheng family.

"Auntie, come in and sit" Hong Xiuhua looked happy, and she was about to enter the house and sit down first when she greeted the Zheng family.

Zheng didn't enter the house when he entered the hospital, so he asked, "Why did this kid come out with so little clothes?" Are you alone at home? ”

"Yes, my father and brother have gone to the ground, and they want to bury snow in the field, and when spring comes, the land will be planted!" Hong Xiuhua said.

Zheng sighed, and asked: "Is Xiuhua busy, my aunt's family is making rice cakes, and her life is not enough, can you come and help?" ”

As soon as Hong Xiuhua heard that she was going to help, she hurriedly responded: "Don't be busy, don't be busy, my aunt wait for me, I'll put on a dress!" ”

"Okay!" Zheng responded.

Hong Xiuhua went back to the house to look for it, looked around, and found an old padded jacket, thinking that it was a little unsightly to go to Shen's house for a while, afraid that Shen Shu would see it. But she didn't have any other padded jackets in her house......

Hong Xiuhua followed the Zheng family out with a cotton jacket, and when she arrived at Shen's house, Shen Pomegranate greeted her.

"Sister Xiuhua is here, come and wash your hands!" Shen Shimei gave hot water, Hong Xiuhua washed her hands and sat on the kang, the room was warm, and she dragged the padded jacket outside, revealing the neat clothes inside.

Shen Shiliu glanced at it, didn't say anything, and let Hong Xiuhua and Shen Shu sit together.

"After a while, one of the two of you will be responsible for rolling the skin, and the other will be responsible for the stuffing, my mother and I will be in a group, and my father will look at the stove, will it be?" Shen Pomegranate arranged it, the stuffing was already mixed before, and now it is a bag!

Although Hong Xiuhua just now, she understood the general idea after listening to it, and nodded quickly.

"Okay, let's do it!" Shen Shimei gave an order, and several people got busy, rolling the skin, and stuffing. Hong Xiuhua did it for the first time, and she watched Zheng's rolling skin, how thick it was, and it would be good at a glance.

"Sister Xiuhua is really smart, just watch it once!" Shen Pomegranate was carrying Hong Xiuhua, and his eyes were still glaring at Shen Shu from time to time, but Shen Shu was a stuffy gourd, and he was still busy making stuffing at this time, and Shen Pomegranate's few stares Shen Shu didn't see it!

Zheng smiled, her son was honest, Hong Xiuhua hadn't passed the door yet, and she didn't dare to say anything or do anything.

Hong Xiuhua hurriedly laughed: "I'm stupid enough, but I really haven't seen this rice cake in our house before!" This skin and stuffing are delicious at first glance, and you can smell the sweetness! ”

Shen Shiliu smiled: "It's okay, we do it every day in the afternoon these days, if you have time, come early, how to make this pastry, I will teach you!" ”

Hong Xiuhua hurriedly said: "This is not good, this is a stealing school!" ”

"What is this, you will be my sister-in-law sooner or later, and it is not normal for my sister-in-law to learn!" Shen Shimei's words, not only Hong Xiuhua blushed, but even Shen Shu, who only knew how to work with his head down, blushed.

Shen Shu was embarrassed, and raised his head to ask Shen Shimei not to talk nonsense: "Stinky girl, are you making fun of your brother?" ”

"Yes, who made you like a wood, Sister Xiuhua has been here for a while, and you don't say that you can talk to others!"

"Hey!" Shen Shu said that he was about to pinch Shen Pomegranate's nose, but was finally stopped by Zheng: "You should be more stable in front of Xiuhua!" ”

Shen Shu was angry: "Originally, it was quite stable, but it was all pomegranate nonsense!" ”

Shen Shiliu laughed, his brother deliberately pretended to be cool!

Hong Xiuhua blushed and looked at the family, thinking that if she married in the future, her life should be so lively.

Several people were busy until the evening, and after steaming five or six pots of rice cakes, Shen Shimei estimated that there were two hundred, so he asked everyone to stop first.

"It's not early, let's prepare for dinner, Sister Xiuhua will also stay here to eat!" Shen Shiliu said.

Hong Xiuhua shook her head: "That's not possible, my father and younger brother can't see it when they go back, I should be worried, I have to go back to cook early!" ”

Shen Shiliu couldn't stop people from going home to cook for his father and younger brother, so he quickly took the basket and filled twenty rice cakes on a plate for Hong Xiuhua to take back.

"This can't be done, you have to keep the money for selling!" Hong Xiuhua didn't dare to ask for it, so she would accept other people's things when she came to help her, she was really embarrassed!

Zheng also let Hong Xiuhua take what he said: "Listen to my aunt, I'm tired all afternoon, and I saved some effort when I went back to cook, so what's polite to my aunt!" In the end, I was stunned and let Hong Xiuhua take it.

"Then thank you, auntie, I'll go first!" Hong Xiuhua, Shen Shimei and Shen Shu waved their hands, and said hello to Shen's father before leaving first, the etiquette was not bad at all.
