On West Street, there are already many people setting up stalls in the chaotic vegetable market. Aunt Lin and Feng'er also picked a place to stand here, revealing the eggs in the back basket.

Meng Yuxuan put down the burden next to them, and let Heizi and Shangguanxi stand together, and the two children could be each other's company. Heizi is honest and has always taken care of Shangguan Creek. Meng Yuxuan glanced at them from time to time to make sure they weren't running around, and then began to set up her stall.

She opened the old cloth that covered it, revealing the pastry spread on the lotus leaves. The pastries are all in the shape of flowers, neatly arranged together, and it is very pleasing to look at.

"Little sister-in-law, what are you doing? It looks delicious. A girl selling wild vegetables at a stall next to her asked curiously, stretching her neck.

Meng Yuxuan said with a smile: "This is hawthorn cake." Let's try it, girl! The recipe is obtained from an enlightened monk, and long-term use is good for the body. ”

"Hawthorn cake! We have a lot of hawthorn here, and we usually make some pastries to satisfy our cravings. There is nothing unusual about hawthorn cake. Does anyone buy it? "The girl heard that it was a hawthorn, and she lost interest.

"Don't you listen carefully, girl? This is a recipe obtained from an enlightened monk, which is different from ordinary hawthorn cake. I've tasted it, and it's very tasty. Aunt Lin next to her said to the girl, "Why are you here to sell vegetables today?" Where's your milk? ”

The girl was obviously an old acquaintance with Aunt Lin, and she was not angry when she said this, but still smiled kindly. Hearing Aunt Lin mention her grandmother, worry flashed in her eyes.

"Grandma is sick. I want to sell some wild vegetables for some money to buy medicine. The girl sighed: "This little sister-in-law, my name is Honghua, what do you call it?" ”

Meng Yuxuan didn't have friends of the same age here, and when she saw that the girl was about the same age as her, she called her sister-in-law, and she was a little helpless for a while.

"My name is Yuxuan. The safflower girl can call me Sister Xuan, or call me Xi'er Niang. Meng Yuxuan said with a smile.

"I'll call you Sister Xuan! Let's look at the same age, I haven't gotten married yet! Your kids are so old. Good stakes. Honghua laughed.

"Yes! I also feel like I'm at stake. Meng Yuxuan touched Shangguan Xi's head and said with a smile: "Our Xi'er is very cute, and I feel so happy to have such a well-behaved child." ”

"You're so good-looking. Your kids are also very good-looking. Honghua smiled kindly at Shangguan Xi.

"Saffron girl, you have to take care of your milk. Your grandmother is old, her body is not like that of young people, and it is normal for a little illness and pain to be a little bit. Don't worry, it'll be fine. Aunt Lin sighed: "Your father and mother went down early, your grandmother worked hard to pull you to such a big point, and she was about to come to the bitter end, God saw it in his eyes, and he wouldn't let her leave early." ”

"Hmm." The safflower grows very delicately, but there are some small freckles on the cheeks. "What about my aunt selling eggs? I just saw the shopkeeper of the restaurant collecting eggs here, and said that he still wanted to collect them, do you want to go to the restaurant directly and ask? ”

"And what's going on? Feng'er, you stay here to accompany Xi'er Niang, and I'll go to the restaurant to ask. "Aunt Lin is an anxious child, so she picked up the basket and said to go.

Feng'er and Meng Yuxuan looked at each other and smiled. Feng'er looked at the hawthorn cake that no one cared about, and said, "You have to shout to sell things, who knows what you sell if you don't shout?" Why don't I give you a few shouts? ”

"Then it's going to trouble my sister-in-law." Meng Yuxuan has never done business, and she really doesn't understand this aspect. Feng'er's words reminded her. Look at the people around again, shouting one by one. Even if she is asked to shout, I am afraid that she will not be able to compare with others. With her temperament, she really can't do anything to bargain with others with a sharp voice. Feng'er and Aunt Lin really helped her a lot.

Feng'er cleared her throat and shouted: "Uncles, aunts and sisters-in-law, I have fragrant hawthorn cake here, come and take a look!" This is a recipe obtained from a monk who has attained the Tao, and if you eat it, you still want to eat it, and you won't be charged if it's not delicious! Sister-in-law, look at these cakes, do you want to eat them when you look at them? Do you want to buy a piece? ”

"What's so strange about hawthorn cake? Who of us wouldn't do it? I'm not stupid to spend money on these things. The woman looked at it and said with disdain.

"Sister-in-law, anyone can make hawthorn cake, but not everyone can make it so delicious. I also know hawthorn cake, but I dare to say that there is no better hawthorn cake in the world. My sister-in-law didn't believe it could be tried. Feng'er looked at Meng Yuxuan and gestured to her.

Meng Yuxuan hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, you are my first guest, I will give you a bargain." A piece of hawthorn cake is three pennies, and I will count two pennies for you. ”

"Sanwen? You go grab it! When the woman heard the price, she was a little moved, and she was at once completely angry.

Meng Yuxuan is confident in her craftsmanship and even more confident in the hawthorn trees in the space. But the reaction of the guests made her lose confidence all of a sudden.

Is she really not the material for business?

In the past, everything was going well, but it was the first time I encountered such a frustration.

"Don't buy it, don't buy it, I heard that her hawthorn cake can eat the dead." A woman next to her pulled the young woman and said.

"Can't you? How do hawthorn cakes eat dead people? We've cooked and eaten it before! The woman said in surprise.

"Who knows if the recipe she's talking about is something harmful? Some of the monks are not really monks, but evil monks. Maybe the recipe she got was made by the evil monk to harm people. The woman pulled the woman and looked at Meng Yuxuan vigilantly. Don't buy it anyway. I'm your aunt, and I'm going to hurt you? If you don't believe me, go over there and ask. A person from the same village as her said that there would be no falsehood. ”

"Auntie, how can you say that? I am also in the same village as her, and I can testify that the hawthorn cake she makes will not harm people. Feng'er said hurriedly.

"I can testify to that. The hawthorn cake made by my aunt is the most delicious. Isn't it? Brook brother. Kuroko also shouted at the woman.

Shangguan Xi nodded again and again. He glared angrily at the mother-in-law, his eyes full of accusations.

"You're in league with her. Can you believe what you say? The woman snorted.

"Don't talk to them." The young woman finally believed her mother-in-law's words. She pulled her mother-in-law and left Meng Yuxuan's stall.

The people who heard Feng'er's shouting heard their conversation and scattered one by one. The other vendors, who had been kind to them, changed their faces and looked at Meng Yuxuan with hostile eyes, as if she was a heinous bad person.

Feng'er has always been good-tempered, and this time she was so angry. She said angrily: "It must be Huan'er Niang who is making them bad." Xi'er Niang, what now? ”

"Let's go! If you are a villager in your hometown, you will not be asked to be arrested. But if you don't leave, you're welcome. An old man said with a blowing beard.

"Uncle, don't listen to them. The hawthorn cake made by Xi'er Niang is really delicious, and there is no problem. "Feng'er is in a hurry." Xi'er Niang, you should think of a way. ”

Meng Yuxuan looked at the expressions of those people, and already expected what would happen next. She shook her head gently and said, "Forget it." They won't believe it. ”

"Mother......" Shangguan Xi pulled the corner of Meng Yuxuan's clothes and said fearfully: "They are so scary. Let's go! ”

"Xi'er, your mother's things haven't been sold yet!" Feng'er said anxiously: "You can't pick it back again." And the people in the village still have to laugh off their big teeth? ”

"Sister-in-law Feng'er, you and Heizi are waiting for Aunt Lin here! Xi'er and I left first. I'll talk about it when I have something to say. Meng Yuxuan picked up the burden and led Shangguanxi out of the chaotic vegetable market.

"Xi'er Niang...... Xi'er Niang...... Ay! Don't go yet! You explain to everyone, and everyone will believe you. Feng'er shouted at Meng Yuxuan's back.

Shangguan Xi looked at Meng Yuxuan, who was carrying the burden. He wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it, and he looked like he wanted to say it and stopped.

Meng Yuxuan glanced at him and chuckled: "Say whatever you want, what is my mother-in-law like?" ”

"Mother, don't be sad." Shangguan Xi said.

"Silly child, my mother is not sad. I've thought about this since yesterday's incident. I just didn't expect it to happen. Meng Yuxuan said. In fact, when I was standing at the West Street stall just now, I thought this would not work. There are a lot of mermaids there, and they sell everything. Our hawthorn cake is just one of the ordinary snacks there. Nearby chickens, ducks, wild vegetables, baked cakes, etc., crushed our hawthorn cakes to a point of no distinction. Plus hawthorn cake is really not an uncommon thing. No matter how delicious it is, not many people will be interested in it. ”

"It turns out that my mother just thought about it so much. I saw you standing dry, and I thought you wouldn't be able to sell!! Shangguan Xi looked at Meng Yuxuan with admiration.

"I really don't sell things like that. When I saw that scene just now, I was a little embarrassed. Meng Yuxuan said narrowly.

"So where are we going now? Go home? Shangguan Xi said.

Meng Yuxuan looked at the teahouse opposite and winked at him: "This is it." ”

Shangguan Xi looked at the signboard of the teahouse and said softly: Yellow Crane Qingfeng Pavilion.

Next to it is a couplet, which reads: Black hair does not know how to study early; The following couplet reads: Bai Shoufang regrets reading late.

"There is a seowon not far away, which was originally the favorite place for literati and students. However, the head of the academy opened a study in the academy, and there were fewer people here, so naturally there was no business. Meng Yuxuan explained. I used to be a maid of the Li family, and I heard someone say it when I went out of the house to do errands. ”

"Is my mother going to sell the hawthorn cake to the owner here? But you also say there is no business here. So would the owner here be willing to buy our hawthorn cake? Shangguan Xi asked puzzled.

"We have to try everything, and if we don't ask, how do we know that the boss doesn't want to buy it? Maybe he needs an opportunity, and we need an opportunity. Meng Yuxuan said.

Walking into the Yellow Crane Qingfeng Pavilion, an old man was sitting at the table and savoring the tea in the cup. Hearing the voice, he raised his head and saw Meng Yuxuan carrying the burden.
