As the sound of the house gradually stopped, the night was thick, and I don't know how long it took, the sky turned up the belly of the fish, and after the sound of chickens and dogs barking, the voices of people were mixed, and the village "woke up".

Recently, the weather is good, the sowing season is good, every family is busy with farm work, Lin Qiao's family is no exception, get up early in the morning, go to the field to plant vegetables.

Song Rong and Song Qin have been accustomed to farm work all their lives, and they are very skilled in growing vegetables, the two of them dig pits and throw ashes, Song Tingfan splashes dung in the back, and Lin Qiao can't intervene, so he pinches the vegetable seedlings and waits to go back to cook and eat.

Two or three minutes later, several people took the work and went home.

Breakfast was simple, and I ate the leftovers from last night.

After eating, Lin Qiao began to be busy making cakes, Song Tingfan helped stir egg whites, and after a while, flour and sugar were added.

Almost a quarter of an hour later, Lin Qiao put the chopped dried dates into it, stirred it evenly, put it in the steamer, and then burned it on a high fire.

The fragrance gradually permeated the kitchen and gradually wafted outside.

When steaming the cake, Lin Qiao was not idle, and began to cook cold dishes, all kinds of dishes were cooked, including pork belly and large intestine, Song Tingfan cleaned it up last night.

It's an hour to be busy, and after doing this, she sorts and puts it in the back basket, and the cake is easy to deform, so she puts it on top.

She twisted her neck and looked at the sensible young man who washed the pot, "Uncle, do you want to eat a piece?" ”

"I'm full." Song Tingfan shook his head, a small piece of cake can be sold for five wen, and it should be kept and sold.

Hearing this, Lin Qiao didn't say anything, she had eaten a lot during this time, and she was probably tired of eating, "Uncle, we have to go, and if it's too late, we won't be able to catch up with the morning." ”

"Okay." Song Tingfan moved a little quickly.

Soon the two of them went to the village to make a donkey cart with a basket on their backs, and recently Lin Qiao was selling things in the town, and the people in the village were a little red-eyed, and they wanted to come to the set to learn to make cakes.

As soon as they got on the cart, many people looked at their baskets, but they were covered by cloth and could not see anything.

The old man Zhou, who was driving the donkey cart in front, said loudly: "Sister-in-law Tingfan, I want two pieces of that egg...... Oh, the cake, you keep it for me, and the grandson is clamoring for me to buy it for him. ”

"Okay." Lin Qiao thought that she was afraid that she would forget it later, so she lifted the cloth, wrapped two pieces in a paper bag, and handed it to Old Man Zhou.

Old man Zhou took it with one hand, carefully placed it next to him, and finally took a straw hat to cover it, and said with a smile: "I'll give you money when I get to the town." ”

"Don't worry, I haven't paid for grandpa's car yet." Lin Qiao said with a smile.

At this time, a woman wanted to take advantage, "Tingfan's daughter-in-law, let's do less, we'll help you share the cost, you sell less, don't tire people." ”

The people in the village have eaten the cake made by Widow Song openly and secretly, this thing is very strange, soft and sweet.

It's just too expensive to bite.

A small piece of five cents, two or three bites of it will be gone.

It was obvious that he wanted to take advantage of it, and he said it in a high-sounding manner, Lin Qiao rolled her eyes in her heart, and her face was a little embarrassed, "Auntie, the price of eggs has risen recently, I ...... Can't sell. ”

"Auntie, I'm sorry, it's not that I won't sell it to you, but I really can't sell it."

She paused, looking afraid of offending them, "I'll take a piece out, and you will share it." He hurriedly took a piece and handed it to them.

She is like this, a group of people are embarrassed to take her cake, and no one can pull their faces to eat it for nothing.

The man next to the woman who spoke just now was a little panicked, and scolded his mother-in-law, "It's just a few pennies, what to talk about." ”

Then he looked at Lin Qiao and said, "Tingfan's daughter-in-law, I'll buy two yuan." As he spoke, he took out a string of copper coins from his bosom, counted ten wen and handed it over.

Before Lin Qiao could say anything, Song Tingfan took it and put it in the money bag.

Look, the villains are so clever.

Lin Qiao made a reproachful look, "Uncle, how can you accept the uncle's money and return it to others quickly." ”

"Give it, take it." The man hurriedly waved his hand.

The old man Zhou in front of him smiled and helped the two uncles and sisters-in-law to relieve the siege, "If you should collect it, you have to accept it, you just rely on this to eat." ”

Lin Qiao had no choice but to accept it apologetically, and then wrapped two cakes and handed them to the man.

After that, no one said anything to buy cake along the way.

It was troublesome to occupy a stall, Lin Qiao rented a small piece of land next to a noodle stall and paid five copper plates every day.

One hundred and fifty wen a month, a little expensive, but still within the range of affordability, moreover, there are many people eating noodles in the noodle stalls, so they can sell cold dishes.

The two went to the side of the noodle stall, Song Tingfan went to the noodle stall and took the table that was placed, placed it on the stall, and then spread a layer of cloth on it, and laid out the things one by one.

The uncle at the noodle stall greeted them with a smile while cooking noodles, "Here, what are the cold dishes today?" ”

"There are fat sausages, pork belly, and green vegetables."

Song Tingfan was afraid that he would not know, so he brought the basin over to show him, and said, "Uncle Li, do you want to weigh it?" ”

Uncle Li smiled, "Tingfan has brought me the basin, can I not weigh it?" I weigh half a catty of fat sausage and pork belly, and half a catty of cold dishes, don't put spicy food. ”

He thought of something, "Let your sister-in-law mix ha." ”

Song Tingfan nodded embarrassedly, he wanted to help his sister-in-law share something, so he learned from his sister-in-law to mix cold dishes, and the taste was different.

Lin Qiao on the side smiled, then took the wooden basin and spoon and began to spice it, Song Tingfan weighed the catties and poured them into the basin.

The fragrance attracted the attention of the noodle eaters, some of whom had eaten cold dishes, "Little lady, we want half a catty of fat sausages and put spicy ones." ”

"We want half a pound of cold vegetables here."

As soon as the stall was set up, it began to get busy, Lin Qiao only cared about mixing seasonings, and Song Tingfan helped deliver vegetables and collect cashiers.

It's a lot easier than one.

After a while, the five catties of cold vegetables, three catties of fat intestines, and three catties of pork belly were gone.

Cold dishes are ten wen a catty, fat intestines are fifteen wen, and pork belly is relatively much more expensive, thirty wen a catty.

Song Tingfan sat and counted to see if there was any less, and after counting twice and finding that there were two less, he suddenly became anxious and counted again.

It's really two pennies.

It must have been that he was busy delivering food just now, and the aunt lost the food money and left.

He stood up and looked left and right to see if he could see the aunt.

Lin Qiao noticed his actions and asked, "What's wrong with Uncle?" ”

"It's two cents off." Song Tingfan looked at her with a look of making a mistake, his eyes were slightly red, and he explained: "I was busy delivering food just now, and that aunt put the silver money on the table and left." ”

"I forgot to count." Speaking of the back, he lowered his head and seemed to blame himself.

Lin Qiao also suffered this once, she smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, just pay attention next time." ”

Rao is sister-in-law didn't blame him, but Song Tingfan still felt guilty and blamed himself, his sister-in-law worked so hard, and now he has lost two pennies.

His fault.

He apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law." ”
