At present, the market price of corn is 12 wen a catty, after frying, if it is sold by the catty, not only is it not easy to sell, but the price cannot be raised. Cherry puts the popcorn on a small, beautifully woven bamboo plate, and one bamboo plate can hold about two handfuls of popcorn for ten yuan.

The peanuts in Peng's restaurant are still a plate of eight cents, and her popcorn is a rare thing, and it is not much at all. After a pound of corn bursts, it is estimated that it can hold more than ten plates of this kind of small bamboo plate, which means that every time she sells a plate, she will earn a net profit of seven or eight yuan. Thinking that in the past, the sisters braved the winter cold to wash people in order to earn the ten pennies copper plate, and now this business is really beautiful.

Two days later, the candied dates pickled in rice peaches were also on the market. Don't look at the rice peach big grin all day long, but she not only does the first-hand food well, all kinds of pickles, sauce and meat are also very good, her pickled dates are sweet but not greasy, soft but not sticky, and sold with popcorn, it is simply hot, and it has almost become a hot item.

At the end of this day, two small snacks can each sell more than 20 small plates, and the net money is about 150 wen after deducting the capital and the commission for the restaurant. And there is no need for people to watch in front of them, there are people in the restaurant to sell on their behalf, and the sisters of the Yue family only need to do it, count the number of plates, and send it.

If you calculate it in this way, you can also have four or five taels of silver in this month.

Star fruit and rice peach were happy, and they were not finished talking in the hall for a long time. With the input of sea saurus meat, the sisters can earn 145 taels of silver a month, what is this concept? In Dazhao Village, which is relatively poor, you can buy a house with a good location for 144 or 2 taels of silver. And this is only a month's income for the sisters, how can it not make the sisters happy? You know, a few months ago, they were still struggling to make enough money, who would have thought that a few months later, they would be able to make so much money? Star fruit can't help but feel that if these things had happened earlier, my father and mother would not have died so early.

Several people happily chatted together, only Cherry sat quietly on the side. She knew in her heart that this place would not stay long, and as long as the hole was dug and some money was saved, they would have to leave here. As long as you leave, no matter how profitable your business is, no matter how hot your business is, it will become a floating cloud.

The chickens, fish, rabbits, pigs and so on at home, Cherry has no intention of taking care of it now, and it is in vain to take care of it, why should she waste this time? If it weren't for the fear of being watched by someone in secret, she would have encouraged her sister to sell all these livestock and poultry. She also ignored the yams in the west fields, and by the time they were old enough to sell for money, I am afraid that the sisters would have already left here. She had already thought about it, and entrusted these to the uncle's family before leaving, those yams mainly need to be taken care of in the early stage, and in the later stage, except for watering, there is basically nothing to worry about, and it can be sold for some money at that time.

On this day, Cherry went to town with Cotton Peach as usual to deliver scorpion, popcorn and dates.

At the end of the day, Runsheng and Akiyama came to the Yue's courtyard to look for cherries.

Only Mi Tao was in the courtyard, and she looked up at the sun: "Go to town." Looking at the time, it is estimated that it will take a while to come back. ”

"Why is she so busy these days?" Akiyama left a little unwillingly, and went to Runsheng's house with Runsheng to wait.

Runsheng hasn't seen the cherry for a few days, he is resting today, thinking that he should find her, but she is not at home at this time. Seeing that Akiyama was a little disappointed again, he had to comfort Akiyama on the side: "What's the hurry, wait at my house for a while, she will have to come back." Sister Mi Tao didn't say that she would be back in half an hour. ”

"Hmm......" Akiyama didn't have a smile on his face, hung his head, stared at his toes tightly, and let out a long 'um', looking preoccupied.

"What's wrong with you?" Runsheng stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "But it's just a day or two, it's like this?" In a few days, I will have a wheat holiday, I will follow you, call cherries again, and let's go to the reed beach in the west to catch fish and pick up duck eggs!! ”

"It's okay......" Akiyama raised his eyes and fell back again. He and Runsheng have played with his bare ass since he was a child, he has something to do, and he has always loved to discuss with Runsheng, but somehow, he doesn't want Runsheng to know about this matter. for it is ......

He...... His father recently gave him a family business......

It is said that he will only be thirteen years old this year, and it is really early to talk about family affairs. Coincidentally, when his father was young, he had a baby kiss with a good friend. At that time, although it was only mentioned, it was not determined. But recently they met again, and brought it up again. The man's daughter is only twelve years old this year, but the two fathers hit it off, and they have to settle the family affairs now.

He...... He...... He didn't want to marry another woman as his aunt

To be honest, apart from cherry, he really didn't think about marrying another woman as his aunt. As soon as he thought that it was possible to be separated from Cherry from now on, and he could no longer follow her, his heart felt uncomfortable as if ....... had eaten an iron hedgehog, and it was heavy, painful, and uncomfortable, and it really made people want to hit their heads and die.

But at this time, Cherry is not at home!!

Runsheng comforted him a few more words, and seeing that Akiyama's face had not been very good, he asked his mother to boil some hot water.

The two waited at Runsheng's house until noon, but they didn't see the shadow of cherries.

"What the hell is she doing?" Akiyama's heart was about to die, and he looked up at the sky anxiously: "Why haven't you come back?" It's almost noon. ”

"Don't worry, she's going to come back for dinner anyway. After a while, my mother cooks, and you eat here, and wait here. Runsheng gently comforted: "Akiyama, what is the matter, can't you tell me?" ”

"I ......" Akiyama opened his mouth, but he didn't say it: "Alas......"

At this time, Qiu Hong ran in from outside: "Brother, dad told you to go home." ”

"I'm going to eat at Runsheng's house today, and I'm not going back yet." Akiyama shrunk and clutched his stomach tightly. It's uncomfortably tight there.

Qiuhong took a few steps forward and looked at Qiushan with concern: "Brother, what's wrong with you?" Dad told you to go home in a hurry, let me look for you. Let's go, let's go home first, if not, quickly call my father and mother to ask the doctor to go. ”

"Is he in a hurry to find me? What's the matter? ”

"I don't know, I saw him in a hurry, what should be the urgency. Brother, let's go home first. Qiu Hong stepped forward to pull him.

"Why don't you go home first, I'll go talk to Sister Mi Tao in a while, and as soon as Cherry comes back, I'll ask her to find you." Runsheng was also concerned: "Look at your face, hurry up and take a look at the doctor, don't hold on." ”

"Okay, then I'll go home first. Come back in the afternoon. Akiyama got up from the wooden bench, was gently supported by Qiuhong, and walked out of the courtyard.

Cherry was delayed a little because of a little business today, and she happened to meet Qingzhu to look for her, and discussed with her about selling Xiaokou in several other Pengjia restaurants, so she came back late with Mian Tao. When I returned home, it was already past noon, and the rice peaches and star fruit walnuts were all back, and the rice was served on the table, with the plates buckled behind the back.

"Why are you coming back today?" Mi Tao opened the plate and said: "Today, Runsheng and Akiyama came to look for you, Akiyama looked anxious as if there was something urgent, and I told you to come back and look for him." You're really, you've been busy these past few days, and you've even ignored them. Thanks to the good temperament of Runsheng and Akiyama, if you put aside those stingy ones, wouldn't you be angry early? ”

"Oh oh, then I'll go and see after I've eaten." Cherry nodded, she has rarely seen Runsheng and Akiyama recently, she asked the man in black to get it, things are very messy and complicated, and she is a little busy for a while.

After eating, Cherry was not in a hurry to find Akiyama. She didn't expect such a big thing to happen in Akiyama, but it is estimated that even if she knew, she would not think that it was a big deal.

Because the hole in the house has entered the final stage of opening the top, Cherry plans to help several sisters dig the hole at home.

The tunnel went down from the corner of the house, then winds a little way forward, and then digs out a layer of mud upwards, and the exit is not far behind the house, under the weeds in front of Mama Qu's house. Shovel up the weeds and move them all to the wooden planks that have been prepared in advance, and then cover the boards over the holes, so that they can be seamless. As long as you don't look at the grass, you won't know there's a hole underneath. In order to be safe, Cherry also asked the star fruit to make a wooden buckle on the hole in the house, and used a wooden stick to pin the two thick planks on weekdays. In this case, even if someone finds the hole and comes in from that end, they will not go straight to the house.

The hole was dug for several days, and it was finally done!

Next, just convince a few sisters to quietly leave here, and that's it. But there's no rush for this, you have to save up the money first. When you go to a new place, you have no identity and no background, and you always have to have a lot of money. When it comes to new places, Cherry doesn't have to worry about it. She is confident that in a short period of time, she will be able to continue to lead her sisters to live the life they are today, or even better. Or, after a while, when the dust settles on Lu Dashi's affairs, they can come back again. After all, there are still their relatives, friends, and the eldest sister's in-laws.

It's almost the end of the afternoon. Leaving a few sisters at home to peel sea prickles, fry popcorn, and cherry cleaned up, and walked to Akiyama's house.

When I arrived at Akiyama's house, I happened to meet him in the yard.

"Brother Akiyama?" Cherry bent her eyes and smiled, smiling as usual, smiling slightly through the courtyard door.

Akiyama raised his head, but his face was stunned, his expression was haggard, and he described it as withered. At some point, a thin layer of whiskers appeared on his lips. As if he had just experienced a great battle for seven days and seven nights, he slumped his shoulders, drooped his eyelids, and his eyes were confused and helpless.
