In the evening, the family sat around the dinner table, drinking delicious fish head soup, eating fragrant braised fish, and talking happily about today's harvest.

"Second sister! This afternoon's bad fish, at the beginning, everyone saw that the fish was small and there were still more spines, and they were all watching from the sidelines, unwilling to pay for it. I took a small one, showed them it, and told them that the fish bones were already crispy, and it was okay to chew and eat them, and they would pay for them. Xiao Shi gulped down the fish soup, not to mention how beautiful it was. A month ago, he couldn't eat enough coarse bread, where is there such a good life, and he keeps fish and meat every day?

"In the beginning, they didn't buy much, and I was dying. Fortunately, those who bought bad fish to eat said that it tasted good, and many of them bought another one to take home for their children! Uncle Hao bought five servings at once, ate one for himself, and took the rest home. He said that there has been a lot of work on the dock recently, and the money he earns is spent on his family, so cheap and delicious food, if he doesn't take some back, he will be scolded by Aunt Hao! ”

Little Stone's crisp voice overflowed the room, and everyone looked at him with a smile. Happiness is as simple as that......

"More than a hundred fish, sold out in less than two quarters of an hour. The sixth son, the head of another group of dock workers, also bought five copies. Foreman Sun almost fought with him in order to fight for the last bad fish! Xiao Shi said triumphantly, "It was I who gave them this fish for free, one by one, to quell a fight." Second sister, I'm amazing! ”

Xiaocao nodded his nose and praised, "Hmm! Our family is the most powerful, only six years old so smart, no wonder Mr. Yuan has a discerning eye for you! ”

Xiao Shi was even more proud, and the little mouth Labala kept talking, and finally squinted his crooked eyes and said, "Second sister, guess how much the fish sold today?" Guess what......"

The number of fish Xiaocao had in her heart, she deliberately frowned and thought hard, and deliberately guessed wrong: "Fifty Wen? At most, sixty wen will support the sky......"

Xiao Shi couldn't hold back his excitement and immediately reported today's harvest: "No, no! It's a tael of silver and seventy-eight copper plates!! See! One or two silver horns, oh, it's the first time I've seen so much money, it's silver, it's so beautiful! ”

The little guy eagerly took out the purse that had been clutching his chest, took out a silver horn, and put it on the table. The family gathered around and looked at the piece of silver with a surprised expression.

Xiaocao wondered: "Xiaolian, stone, could it be that you have met a big sum of money this time?" More generous than the golden fat man in the morning, a reward is a tael of silver? ”

The small stone touched the broken silver beautifully, and only one slit was left in his eyes: "Second sister, what is a big money?" Eat? ”

Xiaolian glanced at him and said, "I'll talk about it." As soon as we arrived at the dock, we met the son of the county magistrate, and he recognized me as you. Wu Gongzi went to the dock to pick up people, tasted our bad fish, thought it tasted good, and packed a few more copies. He came out in a hurry, he didn't have any loose money on him, and he didn't have a little guy or anything around him, so he gave such a silver horn. I said I couldn't find it, and the boat he picked up arrived, so he wouldn't let us look for it. ”

"Hehe, five portions of bad fish were sold for a tael of silver. It would be nice if you could meet such a wronged boss every day! Xiao Shi didn't know where he heard the word "wronged", but it was quite appropriate.

Liu scolded with a smile: "Little greedy ghost! Today, you are lucky to meet two generous rich people in a row. This is a pie-in-the-sky thing, how can you encounter it every day? I'll save this silver horn for you. In a few days, when you go to the town to study, you will be in a hurry! ”

The first month's bundle had fallen, and the little stone was even more happy, and he didn't fall asleep for half the night.

After dinner, Xiaocao pulled Liu and Xiaolian and taught them to make blood sausages. She cut the clotted pig's blood with a knife, burned a large bowl of white broth with various ingredients, put it in the pig's blood after it cooled, added chives and stirred well. It is then poured into the washed pig's small intestine and tied with thread. The pig's small intestine was specially left by Xiaocao, and it was not braised by Liu's together.

The filled blood sausage is boiled in clean water, then simmered for a quarter of an hour, soaked in cold water, and the thread is removed after it is cold and can be eaten. The blood sausage filling method is relatively simple, and the taste depends on the preparation of the seasoning in the white broth. However, Liu and Xiaolian are often spinning around the pot table, and they can quickly master the proportion of preparation.

Before going to bed, he drank twice the high concentration of spirit stone water and slept beautifully, and the next day, Xiaocao felt refreshed, and the fatigue on his body was swept away. Today, I brought a lot of food, in addition to the braised pig's head, pig intestine, and blood sausage, I also brought 100 bad fish.

In the past two days, according to Xiaocao's observation, when the wharf was at its lowest, there were also two or three hundred dock workers carrying goods. Grandpa Liu, who sells noodles, said that February and March are the busiest times for the wharf, and most of the merchants in the lunar month and the first month are not goods, on the one hand, it is the New Year, and on the other hand, the shallow sea in the north is frozen, and it is difficult for sea ships to drive. Therefore, in February and March, when the weather warmed up, merchants accumulated a winter's goods and began to transport them from south to north.

Her penny meat dishes are delicious and cheap, and she definitely doesn't have to worry about not being able to sell!

"Cao'er, dad went to your Uncle Chamber's house to borrow a trolley, and today we will go to the dock together!" Yu Hai saw the pickled vegetables and bad fish, and packed two baskets, the weight was really not light, and he was afraid that the two children would be tired, so he proposed.

Xiaocao communicated with Xiao Mending Tianshi in her heart: "Xiao Tangyuan, do you hear me talking?" ”

[What for?] Sleep, don't bother me! The small mending stone is not angry.

"I'll just bother you for a moment, and I ask, can my father's legs walk for a long time now?" Xiaocao asked with some concern.

Xiao Mending Tianshi snorted and said, "His legs, tendons, veins, and bones have grown, and more activity will still help him recover. Don't worry, it's no problem to go to the pier. 】

Liu Shi said worriedly on the side: "Are your legs okay?" Doesn't it mean that it takes 100 days to break your muscles and bones, and it's only less than a month, can it work? ”

Yu Hai kicked his left leg and said, "My own leg knows it very well, as long as I don't do too heavy work, it should be fine." Pushing two baskets, just walking, out of the way......"

At his insistence, Liu had no choice but to let him go. When leaving, she repeatedly told Xiaocao to help her father push more carts and not let him get tired......

The trolley was a wooden unicycle, and Yu Hai hung the rope on the handle on his shoulder, grasped the handlebar with his big hand, and steadily pushed the wheelbarrow forward. Don't look at his lame legs, it's better than the length of his legs, and one step is equivalent to two or three steps of grass! Xiaocao, not to mention helping with the cart, it's good that she can keep up.

Yu Hai, who is used to hard work, has been idle at home for almost a month, and his bones are almost rusty, but now he can finally help, and he is naturally full of strength. He turned his head to look at his panting daughter, stopped the car, and said with a smile: "Come on, Dad is pushing you away!" ”

Xiaocao shook her head again and again and said, "Dad, I can walk by myself!" Your legs aren't all right, and you're still pushing the cart and the pickles......"

Before she could finish her sentence, her father picked her up by one arm and put her on the wheelbarrow. Although I have been hugged by my father a few times in the past six months, it is the first time that I have been caught under my armpit and lifted up. Xiaocao was a little embarrassed to look left and right, and no one saw it.

"Hey, your little weight, can you still tire your father? Cao'er, you can eat more, a handful of bones on your body, not a few taels of meat! Yu Hai nagged distressed and self-reproachful, thinking in his heart about selling today's pickled vegetables and buying some white rice and white noodles for the children. Children are growing up, and they can't always eat coarse bread with them......

With daddy escorting, Xiaocao walked by himself for a while, got in the car and let daddy push for a while. When she was resting on the way, she diligently helped her father massage her left leg, and asked Xiao Tianshi to quickly help him relieve his fatigue. When I got to the pier, it was still early.

"Morning, Grandpa Liu!" Xiaocao greeted this kind and gentle old man with a grin. In the past few days, her business has been booming, and it is inevitable that some people will get "pink eye", especially those who sell side dishes and stir-fried vegetables, and from time to time they will sour a few words, Xiaocao will not hear it, and they are too lazy to worry about them. Grandpa Liu was the only one who was kind to her from beginning to end, and he enthusiastically moved the stool every time to give the two sisters and brothers a rest.

The old Liu Tou, who was trying to knead the dough, looked up and followed the sound, and said with a smile: "Xiaocao, I came quite early today, are you tired?" Come and sit and rest for a while. How? Little Stone didn't come with you today? ”

"No! My dad came with me today! Xiaocao pointed to Yu Hai, who had parked the wheelbarrow on the side of the road, and said with a smile.

Lao Li Tou looked at Yu Hai who was limping over, and a trace of understanding flashed in his heart: No wonder two such young children came to sell things, it turned out that the child's father's leg was ......

"Xiaocao her father, come over and sit and rest, you're tired after walking so much, right?" Grandma Liu came out of the shed and greeted warmly.

After Yu Hai was stunned for a moment, he immediately smiled and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you!" You are Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu that Xiaocao often mentions, right? Thanks to the two elders for taking care of me in the past two days, thank you, thank you! ”

"Thanks what! Xiaocao's sister and brother are both capable, and since she came, my noodle business has been much better! Old Liu wiped his hands and said loudly.

He was right, there was nothing good to eat on the dock before, and most of the dock workers brought their own food from home, and at most a few people got together to buy some pickles to eat. Most people, don't come this way at all.

Since Xiaocao's penny meat dish was started in the dock workers, many people bought a bowl of hot noodle soup at the noodle stall next to them after buying meat dishes. Eating a bowl of noodles with meat and vegetables is much more moisturizing than dry food that is difficult to swallow. Not to mention the noodle stall, even the business of selling steamed buns next to it has improved a lot. But those who sell pickles hate them so much.

We have a custom of bean noodle lamps at night during the Lantern Festival. My aunt has bean noodle lamps, and bean noodle lamps are all hand-pinched, and in order to sell well, they have to pinch a lot of tricks. The poor sister-in-law was pulled into a strong man, and she pinched the bean noodle lamp for several days, and her hands were swollen. Yesterday it was pinched until 10 p.m. I had to code words when I was done, and I didn't go to bed until more than twelve o'clock in the morning. Alas......

Bitter sister-in-law, ask for comfort~
