Even though half a bowl of rice is missing today, the workers are satisfied with the sweet and soft sweet potatoes.

After lunch, Ning Xue'er helped the men wash the dishes, and an hour passed for this washing. Ning Xue'er saw that the time was almost up, so she began to make a fire to roast sweet potatoes.

Since it was the first time to go out of the stall, Ning Xue'er estimated that the business would not be too good, so she only roasted a hundred sweet potatoes over the fire. Then he borrowed an iron plate from the kitchen to serve rice and took it out to sell it.

These sweet potatoes have just been roasted, and before they have cooled, they emit a fragrance when they are served, attracting the attention of the vendors on the left and right.

"What is this?" The aunt on the left who sells steamed buns asked curiously.

Ning Xue'er smiled and said, "It's Hongjiao, auntie, you can taste it." After the words fell, Ning Xue'er handed one to the eldest aunt.

The eldest aunt was a little embarrassed at first, she just wanted to wave her hand and refuse to come, but as soon as the sweet potato was handed over, she smelled the fragrance, so she no longer refused, only took it with a smile and took a bite.

"Auntie, you want to peel and eat again.........." Ning Xue'er reminded in a low voice, and the aunt hurriedly spit out the skin she had just bitten into, but she didn't vomit the sweet potato at all, and swallowed it all.

After that, Ning Xue'er gave a sweet potato to all the vendors, and then sat at the back of the stall and waited for someone to come and buy sweet potatoes.

The weather is getting cooler, and the sweet potatoes are cooling fast, and half an hour later, Ning Xue'er looked at the sweet potatoes in front of her melancholy, her face full of frustration. Freshly baked sweet potatoes are the most fragrant, the taste, the texture, is simply delicious in the world. But the cold sweet potato is not like that, there is no fragrance, its appearance is not good, and people believe it when they say that it is.

One hundred, one hundred sweet potatoes wow! What can I do now? Ning Xue'er held her chin and felt a dilemma.

On the dock, people come and go, the steamed buns sold by the stall on the left are steaming, and from time to time people come up to ask for the price. The stall on the right sells Huang Cancan's baked cakes, and some people are shouting for seven or eight. Only Ning Xue'er's stall, the pedestrians didn't even look at it.

On the first day of the stall, it was unfavorable, Ning Xue'er's heart was half cold, and sure enough, business was not so easy to do. Ning Xue'er thought about it, no matter how bad the business was, she had to persevere, so she planned to sit until Ning Dazhuang and they finished work.

As the sun set, the workers dragged their tired bodies back after a hard day's work. On the way back, many workers saw Ning Xue'er and the sweet potatoes in front of her.

Thinking about the delicious food eaten at noon, many workers stopped to talk to Ning Xue'er, "Miss Xue'er, are these sweet potatoes left?" ”

Ning Xue'er nodded embarrassedly and said, "Uncle, it's been cold recently, and the sweet potatoes have cooled quickly, and they don't look good after they get cold, so ........."

"Hahaha, it's okay, girl, how do you sell these sweet potatoes? Let's buy some. ”

"Five pennies a piece!" Ning Xue'er replied.

"Okay, I want two!" "I'll have two too!" "I'm going to ....... too"

All of a sudden, Ning Xue'er's stall became lively. She hurriedly brought sweet potatoes to the guests, wrapped them in oiled paper, collected the money, and carefully told them to go home and steam them before eating.

It won't take a while, Ning Xue'er sold seventy of a hundred sweet potatoes, and it seems that today's noon tasting is still quite effective.

For the rest of the sweet potatoes, Ning Xue'er gave ten to the aunt who sells buns on the left and the uncle who sells baked cakes on the right, and keep the rest for her own food.

Ning Xue'er took the copper plate, packed the remaining sweet potatoes, and finally returned the iron plate, and then went back with Ning Dazhuang and them.

On the ox cart, Ning Xue'er wondered if Ming'er should go to someone to get a stove, and she had to buy some oil paper back, so that she could do business.

As a result, when she got home, Ning Xue'er hadn't taken out the silver she earned today, but Ning Dazhuang took out three taels of silver first. This surprised Zhang and Ning Xue'er.

Ning Dazhuang smiled and said, "The foreman bought three hundred catties of sweet potatoes for our family, and the price he gave was ten cents a catty, so he gave a total of three taels of silver." ”

Zhang stretched out his rough hands and touched the broken silver on the table in disbelief, it was cold, it was real.

These days, the family is in contact with each other, eating and dressing, asking for money, even if it is to save in every way, but the silver is like flowing water, and it is spent very much.

Seeing that the weather is getting cooler, and the New Year is approaching in two months, thinking about the New Year's goods at home, Zhang's face is melancholy. But now it's okay, a pound of sweet potatoes costs ten cents! She remembered that there were still more than 1,000 catties hidden in the cellar at home, and if she took them all out and sold them, then how much silver would she need!

The more Zhang thought about it, the more excited she became, and Ning Xue'er was naturally happy to see that there was an entry in the family.

The next day, Ning Dazhuang took 300 catties of sweet potatoes to the town, and although Ning Xueer and Zhang Yisheng took his ox cart, they did not go to the dock.

They went to the downtown area of the town, and Ning Xue'er wanted to build a stove when she came to the town today, just like the uncle who sold baked cakes next door, and sold them while baking, so that it was fragrant and attractive.

Ning Xue'er and Zhang Yisheng searched for a long time in the town, but they couldn't find a shop that sold stoves, and finally, helplessly, Ning Xue'er had to quietly go to her grandfather's house to find two uncles to help.

Zhang Mingxiu heard that Ning Xue'er was going to do business, and suddenly became a little angry, after all, last time he obviously said that he had a new food to send to his own store, but Ning Xue'er went to the dock to prepare to do it herself, this, this is not annoying!

Ning Xue'er is really big, she can't explain that she didn't come because Ning Dazhuang was unhappy, so she didn't come, so it is estimated that the relationship will have to deteriorate, and it will not be difficult for her to do it at that time?

Thinking of this, Ning Xue'er took the initiative to admit her mistake, "Uncle, it's Xue'er who is not good, Xue'er is so bent on selling things that she forgot about her uncle........."

After saying that, Ning Xue'er stuck out her tongue mischievously.

"You," Zhang Mingxiu pointed at Ning Xue'er, his eyes were full of doting, Ning Xue'er was a child of his sister's family after all, no matter how he was, he couldn't show his face, besides, he also pointed at Xue'er to make money.

"Then, uncle, can you help me with my stove......"

"No problem, when are you going to want it?" Zhang Mingxiu patted his chest and swore an oath.

"The sooner the better," Ning Xue'er said as she took out a deposit of one or two silver and handed it to Zhang Mingxiu.

Zhang Mingxiu looked at the silver, his eyes were straight, his niece was too generous.

Then, Ning Xue'er discussed the details of the stove with Zhang Mingxiu, such as the size of the stove and the diameter of the furnace opening......... After negotiating these details, Ning Xueer went back with Zhang Yisheng.

The next day, Ning Xueer quietly sent 500 catties of sweet potatoes to her grandfather's family, and she demonstrated the method of roasting sweet potatoes in the kitchen in front of everyone in the Zhang family. At first, the two aunts were disdainful of the sweet potatoes brought by Ning Xue'er, but when the sweet potatoes were roasted, they exuded that attractive fragrance, and they also tasted a piece cheekily, and this taste couldn't stop, and everyone rushed to eat the sweet potatoes that Ning Xue'er had just baked.

In the end, Ning Xue'er's two cousins also fought over the ownership of the last sweet potato, and it was not until the grandfather came out to scold them that the two stopped.

After tasting just now, Zhang Mingxiu is very confident in the sweet potatoes brought by Ning Xueer, and he believes that these sweet potatoes will definitely make the family's business prosperous.

On the other hand, the workers on the dock ate sweet potatoes for two days in a row, but there was no sign of getting tired of eating, on the contrary, many people also inquired about buying a few catties of sweet potatoes to go back to their wives and children to try them.

However, when I asked the guy in the kitchen, I learned that there were not many sweet potatoes in the kitchen, so they could not be sold to the outside world.

This made many people feel sorry that they couldn't buy such a good and cheap thing, so the workers on the dock began to look forward to Ning Xue'er coming.

On the dock, in the small box, the master of the kitchen was carefully reporting the recent situation to Foreman Cai, "Boss, the sweet potatoes are gone, do you want to buy them again?" ”

"Gone?" Foreman Cai put down the ledger in his hand and raised his eyes to look at the big chef across the table.

Just this glance, the master of the kitchen only felt that the pressure was pressing, and he trembled and said: "Yes, yesterday I listened to your instructions and sent twenty catties to Mrs. Cai, but I didn't think that Mrs. Cai sent someone to pull away another hundred catties today, plus the two days, if you don't buy it again, I'm afraid that Ming'er won't have to eat." ”

After saying that, the master was sweating all over his head and his back was wet, God knows how difficult it is to report to the boss.

"Well, got it, let's go down." Foreman Cai said lightly while continuing to look at the account book.

It's almost time to get off work, and all the workers are excited in their hearts, and they finally get through another day.

Ning Dazhuang also thought so, however, as soon as he turned around, Foreman Cai put his hands behind his back and stared at him directly.

"Worker, foreman," Ning Dazhuang was so frightened that he stammered, and Foreman Cai was still expressionless, only said: "You come with me!" ”

The two entered the small box one after the other, and Foreman Cai suddenly took out ten taels of silver and put it on the table, "Take it!" ”

"No, no, no," Ning Dazhuang hurriedly shook his head and refused, "Foreman, you are exalting me too much, I haven't done anything, how can I ask for your silver?" ”

"I want a thousand pounds of sweet potatoes!" Foreman Cai didn't talk nonsense, and directly said his mind.

A thousand pounds of sweet potatoes? Ning Dazhuang was stunned, this, this is too much!

Seeing that Ning Dazhuang didn't answer for a long time, Foreman Cai turned around impatiently, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Got a problem?" ”

"No, no!" Ning Dazhuang shook his head.

"Then it's done, Ming'er will send it to me, you take the silver, go down."

Ning Dazhuang hurriedly put away the silver and staggered out.

For what just happened, Ning Dazhuang only felt like pie in the sky, and he got ten taels of silver casually?

Sitting on the ox cart, Ning Dazhuang couldn't help but quietly touched the hard silver in his arms, only then did he feel that everything was not a dream, he really carried ten taels of silver in his arms, and if it went on like this, he would be able to save enough silver to build a brick house before the year.
