Gently sorted out her thoughts and said, "Do the three girls usually like to eat snacks?" ”

"This-" Xiaohuan played with his belt in his hand, shook his head and said: "I'm not the one who waits in the house, I don't know very well, but usually the three girls go out for a walk in the yard, or play the piano and chess in the pavilion, and there are always a few plates of exquisite candied tea and fruit in hand, but I don't see her eating." ”

"How old are the three girls?" Gentle wandering around the kitchen all day long, except for the subordinates of the Zhao Mansion, she has never seen the owner of the Zhao Mansion.

Xiaohuan looked at Gentleness and grinned, "I'm about the same age as my sister." ”

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl? Do you really not like snacks? I'm afraid I'm tired of eating too many things! But Wen Rou didn't know the taste of the third girl, and she wasn't sure what she could make of anything new she liked to eat, so she had to ask again, "Where is the maid in the third girl's house?" What do they like to eat? ”

"That's a bunch of slanderous cats!" Xiaohuan said with a smile: "I often run errands for them to buy snacks, sweet, salty and sour, there is nothing they don't like to eat!" But I'm also a slanderous cat, and Baba is hoping that they will call me and get some food. Sister, what do you ask these for? Do you want to give them anything to eat? ”

Gently nodded and chuckled: "To tell you the truth, my family is waiting for money to treat my brother's illness, and I want to make some food and sell it secretly in the house, but you know that my popularity is not very good, not to mention that this matter cannot be publicized openly, so I want to ask you to help me." ”

Xiaohuan raised his face with interest and asked, "Selling food for you?" ”

"No, it's not!" Gently shook her head and smiled: "I bought food for them." ”

"Huh?" Xiaohuan didn't react for a while, stunned.

Gently explained: "I'll make a novelty snack, and you can take it to the courtyard of the three girls and eat it with Ling'er......"

"Hah!" Xiaohuan clapped her hands and interrupted her words: "Then when they accidentally saw it, they must be curious and wanted to taste it, so they asked me to buy it for them, and I took the money, so I turned to my sister!" ”

"Xiaohuan, you're so clever." Gentle chuckled, "Just don't let them know that they bought things from me, just like the sugar gourd last time." ”

Xiaohuan nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, I will keep this matter a secret, but sister, where are you going to fix those foods?" There are a lot of people in the big kitchen, it must not be possible, or go to my house? ”

Gently thought about it, and said helplessly: "For now, it can only be like this, but doesn't it really matter if you go to your house?" If Sister-in-law Liu knows......"

"My mother is so busy every day that she doesn't leave the ground, and she doesn't go home at all during the day, how can she know? Let's just be careful. Xiaohuan thought that there could be a novel snack to taste, and he was so excited that he pulled Gentle and immediately wanted to leave, but he happened to meet Sister-in-law Liu shouting in front of her, so she gave up.

The idea of selling snacks was decided for the time being, but what to do to sell it made Gentle hesitate. Chocolate, popcorn and potato chips were certainly popular snacks in the world she used to live in, but now you want to make them? Don't be funny! Where can I find cocoa beans, corn and potatoes? She couldn't say for sure that they weren't here, but at least she hadn't found them yet. Fortunately, snacks, as long as it is not a food eaten as a meal, it can be called a snack, and it should be okay to make some snacks and desserts to fill the number, right? And you don't have to make food that you don't have here, as long as it tastes better, it's done!

Gently absentmindedly picked up the rice in the bowl, thinking in his heart that there are no plastic bags, plastic cups, and refrigerators here, so he can't make that kind of liquid food for the time being, which needs to be eaten hot, and the food that has not been stored for a long time, it is better to make some bean halva, anyway, the weather has gradually turned colder, and I will not feel greasy in my mouth when I eat these sweets, and I am not afraid that the sugar will melt after a long time.

After eating, gently hands and feet quickly helped wash the dishes, there was a while in the afternoon, nothing for her, you could rest for an hour, so she dragged Xiaohuan to buy raw materials for making sugar, she calculated along the way, there were 170 yuan on her body, of course, she couldn't spend it all at once, because she didn't know if the sugar she made could be sold, in case of loss, there was no place to cry, so this time first make simple bean halva candy to save costs!

As soon as Xiaohuan heard that she was going to make bean halva, which was something she had never eaten, she immediately salivated, and she didn't need to be gently urged, so she grabbed her and ran to the back corner door.

Because Zhao Lu, who watched the door last time, was bribed by Xiaohuan with a string of sugar gourds, although he didn't necessarily like to eat it, but it was more or less a favor, so this time he saw Gentle, his expression was much gentler, and when he heard that they were going to buy something, he shouted twice to the door, and called those vendors over, and they chose by themselves, and Gentleness didn't buy much, but it was enough raw materials to make about ten catties of soybean halva, so it cost one hundred and twenty-six yuan, and Xiaohuan brought it back to the house together, and rolled up his sleeves and began to make sugar.

Halfway through, she suddenly remembered a question, this is ancient times, what kind of paper candy does she have to take? You can't use rice paper! asked Xiaohuan again, who knew that this girl blurted out without thinking about it: "Use mulberry paper!" If you don't tell me earlier, I'll buy some and cut them for you. ”

"That ......" said softly, "Is this paper clean?" The package is food, so you won't have a stomach trouble when you eat it, right? ”

When Xiaohuan heard this, he was stunned, and suddenly smiled: "Sister, aren't the fried melon seeds, honey-pickled plums and sugar melon strips I usually buy wrapped in lotus leaves or mulberry paper?" I've never seen a bad stomach. ”

Uh, forget about this stubble! But then again, Wen Rou usually didn't pay attention to the food that Xiaohuan bought, what kind of wrap was used, and when she said this, she smiled and said, "Then bother you to run for me." ”

Ancient paper is expensive, the best mulberry paper is sold here for 30 to 50 yuan, but most of the commonly used to wrap tea, medicinal herbs, and food are medium-quality paper, and a knife is sold for 10 yuan here, and a knife is only 100 pieces, but a piece of paper is enough to wrap more than 10 pieces of bean halva, and the cost is not too high.

Time is limited, not to mention that the pot in the small ring house is also a little smaller, no matter how fast the gentle hands and feet are, you can't finish all the bean halva at a time, so leave half of the raw materials to do it tomorrow, this hour, only make five catties of sugar, cut it into square pieces, squeeze it tightly with wooden strips, and then take a package of cut mulberry paper, tie the red line, look at it carefully, and think it's quite like that. But there's no reason to buy a single piece of sugar, right? She simply tied six pieces of bean halva into a string, which was easy to take and looked good.

Xiaohuan next to her couldn't help but touch a piece and eat it first, and while being surprised and praising it, she asked her, "Sister, how do you sell this candy?" Tell me a price, and when someone asks me, I'll get a good answer. ”

Gently counted the points, and found that a total of 100 packs of bean halva were made, tied 20 strings, because he was in a hurry to use the money, naturally the more he earned, the better, and he said ruthlessly: "A string sells for 30 yuan, is it expensive?" ”

"Thirty Wen?" Xiaohuan was taken aback, wouldn't such a pack of bean halva cost five cents? Wow! She ate a month's worth of pocket change in just a few bites! However, such a crispy, sweet, melt-in-the-mouth delicious candy made her pay five cents to taste it once, and she was willing to taste it, but it was only one taste.

Seeing that Xiaohuan didn't answer after thinking for a long time, Gentle felt that it was probably a little more expensive, so he automatically reduced the price and said, "Or, twenty-four yuan?" Eighteen pennies? Twelve......"

"Sister, you don't have to sell too cheaply! We've worked hard for half a day, so we have to get paid, right? Xiaohuan blinked and said: "It's okay to sell it for twenty-four yuan, although I have no money, but the people who serve in the third girl's house, which one is not richer than me?" ”

That's right, too! The maid in the house can get 500 wen a month, and occasionally buy some snacks to eat, which is still enough to spend. In this way, after deducting the cost, you can earn more than 300 yuan in half a day! Gentleness didn't care that the money hadn't arrived yet, she counted it with her fingers, and suddenly smiled again. It's a good deal!
