Chapter 115 started smoothly

When I arrived in the town, it was still very bright, Zhao Changsheng came early, waited for Li Xin in the west of the town, saw her coming, and hurriedly came forward to take the cart in her hand, and smiled at her and Ah Mei: "Cousin, cousin, you are here." "Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ First @ Fa"

"Thank you, Brother Changsheng." Li Xin smiled and greeted.

"Big brother is still busy in the restaurant, I'll help you set up a stall first, and the good place will be occupied if you go late.

Zhao Changsheng smiled shyly, and asked Li Xin again: "Cousin-in-law, it's better ......to go now?"

"I'm going to the blacksmith to get something." Li Xin said: "Brother Changsheng, let Ah Mei and you take a good look at the place first, and I will go to the blacksmith shop to get something and come." ”

"Okay."

Zhao Changsheng agreed, and then pushed the car away with Ah Mei. Li Xin found the right way and followed the place where the blacksmith shop was.

The blacksmith shop was wide open, and in winter, you could see men with bare arms sweating all over again. Li Xin walked over and mentioned Guan Wen's name, and an uncle in his forties came over and said to Li Xin: "Guan Wen of Lotus Village? ”

"Yes, uncle, he came yesterday, and he said that he could get it tomorrow. Can you pick it up now? ”

The uncle smiled: "It's okay, I also said that he hasn't come yet." He looked at Li Xin again: "You are his daughter-in-law, right?" ”

"Yes."

"I haven't seen his daughter-in-law come yet." The uncle laughed and said, "This time I finally took a look." ”

Seeing that Li Xin was a little surprised, the uncle smiled and said: "There are many people in this town who know him, but I think he can't remember those people." ”

Li Xin smiled: "Ah Wen is sometimes quite confused. ”

Uncle is also happy, "He said that I thought he had found another job to make a pot, but I didn't expect it to be the eldest sister who came to fetch things." ”

As he spoke, he asked the other blacksmith apprentices to fetch the pot, Li Xin took it and weighed it in his hand a few times, and felt that it was quite good, the size was appropriate, and the thickness of the bottom of the pot was also there, so he nodded, "Uncle's craftsmanship is really good." ”

"When people are old and have no strength, they rely on a little craftsmanship." The blacksmith uncle smiled: "The eldest sister will call me an iron crutch, and if there is anything that cannot be made by other families in the future, you can take it to our house to make it." ”

"Okay, Uncle Chong's craft, I also have to take care of Uncle Chong's business, right?"

Li Xin smiled, gave the iron crutch money according to the agreed price, and asked casually during the chat: "There should be a lot of blacksmith shops in this town, I see that your family is the largest, uncle." ”

"Not really." The iron kidnapper smiled and said, "This is all the inheritance passed down from the ancestors." "Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ First @ Fa" Originally, there was an old Jin family to compete with us, and now the old Jin family ...... Tsk, no! ”

Hearing that Li Xin of the old Jin family was slightly stunned, he thought to himself, this should be the third aunt's family, right?

The iron kidnapper was still saying: "In the past, the head of the old Jin family still had two brushes, but unfortunately there was no son to inherit, and only one daughter married his apprentice." I still thought that the old gold had to pass on all the work at hand to his son-in-law, and now it seems that I don't know whether he didn't pass it on to his son-in-law and kept it for himself, or whether his son-in-law was not good at learning. Anyway, it's always a bit of a cut of corners when you look at their things. ”

Li Xin was silent, smiled silently and nodded.

"Uncle is doing real business, no wonder Ah Wen is looking for a blacksmith shop and only looking for you, uncle."

The iron kidnapper was happy when he heard the praise, and Li Xin chatted a few words before sending the guest out.

Li Xin hugged the pot and hurried slowly, passing by the grocery store that bought a wedding gift for Guan Laosi in the middle, and paused.

Walking in, the boss in front of the counter was still the boss I saw last time, and this time it was more serious than the top on my head last time.

Seeing that a customer came to the door, the boss hurriedly came out to greet the customer, but he didn't seem to remember that Li Xin was his former customer.

Li Xin didn't say hello to Renpan, and asked the boss directly: "Is there any butter sold outside the customs here?" ”

The boss was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Yes, there are, but few people buy them, and I don't have many goods here, how much do I want to buy for the eldest sister?" ”

As soon as Li Xin's eyes lit up when he heard that there was goods, he hurriedly calmed down and said, "I'll take a look at your goods first." ”

It is right to look at the goods, and the boss naturally will not block it, so a young man will find it and hand it to Li Xin, "Big sister, take a look, is this goods okay?" ”

The butter is clumped and poured into a yellow grease indeed. Li Xin dug a little bit and tasted it, it was still a little fishy, but the taste was not too big.

The boss said: "Few people come to buy this thing, and ordinary people don't buy it, but some rich people buy it to make some pastries or something." The big sister is going to make pastries, right? ”

"Boss, how much does this cost?"

"It's more expensive than others, and the eldest sister also said that it was outside the customs, and the cost of such a trip has been raised a lot. It's just such a jar, and it costs at least five hundred dollars. ”

Five hundred money......

Li Xin calculated the account in his heart, but still felt that the money was a bit much, looked at the jar indicated by the shopkeeper, and pointed to a slightly smaller one: "How much butter does such a big jar sell?" ”

The boss calculated for a moment and said, "Three hundred dollars." ”

Li Xin lifted the jar, it was still very heavy, and the butter in it should be ten catties. After thinking about it, Li Xin said: "I'll buy a small jar, if I have to buy it from the boss in the future, can this price be ......?"

The boss is also a good person, and when he heard this, he also knew that Li Xin still wanted to bargain with him, so he said busily, "Big sister, this price is really ......."

Li Xin didn't bargain, but said, "Then I'll go to another house to have a look." ”

"Oh, big girl, wait a minute." The boss stopped her and said as if she had lost money: "Then two hundred and eighty dollars, it can't be less." ”

"Two hundred and fifty dollars, if the boss sells it, I will take it away immediately, if not, I will go to another house to ask for the price and come again."

The boss immediately slapped his thigh: "Big sister, it's up to you, two hundred and fifty dollars." Told the guy to fill the jar, and said to Li Xin with a sad face: "If the eldest sister still wants to buy butter, remember to come to our store to buy it." ”

"Don't worry, boss."

Li Xin paid the money, took the jar and was about to leave, but when he saw the boss talking to the guy with a stunned face, his mood was also a little irritable and hesitant.

Although he was curious, he didn't ask much, the sky was already a little dark at this time, Li Xin hurriedly hugged the pot in one hand and the butter jar in the other hand to go to Yuanguang Temple.

Yuanguang Temple is the most famous and spiritual temple in Hui County, and there are forty or fifty monks in the temple. Today, the Buddhist disciples are quite lenient, although not as large as the previous dynasty to build Buddhist temples, but also advocate the Buddhist theory of "karma cycle, retribution is unhappy" and set up Xiangguo Temple in Beijing for the royal family to worship.

Yuanguang Temple already existed in the previous dynasty, and the scale was far more prosperous than now. Nowadays, although the Yuanguang Temple in Huixian County is still lively, it is only that people from nearby villages and towns will come to add some incense and pray to God and worship Buddha, but other after-entertainment programs are gradually declining.

When Li Xin arrived, Zhao Changsheng had already taken a good look at the place and occupied the position, and Ah Mei was putting things according to what Li Xin said before, Zhao Changsheng was curious, and asked this and that from time to time.

Li Xin walked over with a smile, and Ah Mei saw her busy and helped her take over the round stove that was vacated on the pot.

Li Xin put the jar aside and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Cousin-in-law, cousin said that the things you made are delicious......" Zhao Changsheng smiled a little shyly, and the unfinished meaning in the joke was that he wanted to taste it.

Fortunately, Li Xin is also thinking about trying whether the taste made by the special pot and specially bought butter is better.

After washing the pot twice with water, wipe it dry, heat the pot evenly with the fire, then open half of the lid of the pot, scoop a spoonful of sugar, a spoonful of butter and a cup of corn kernels into it, pinch the wire protruding from the center of the pot with his hand, stir it in a clockwise direction, and open the pot after hearing the sound of "pop".

Ah Mei cleverly took the basket out and put it on the side, Li Xin lifted the lid of the pot and poured the popcorn into it, covered it with the lid again, pinched the joint and shook off the popcorn grains that were glued together, and then uncovered it and pulled out a paper bag to put the popcorn grains in.

"Taste it, second cousin." Li Xin smiled and said, "Do you look delicious?" ”

He said to Ah Mei again: "You can taste it too, the taste should be different from what I made yesterday." ”

Ah Mei's eyes lit up suddenly, and she didn't care that the popcorn was still hot, so she stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it twice, and then said with a look of surprise: "Sister-in-law, it's really belching!" Even better than last time! ”

"If it's delicious, eat more." Li Xin touched her head, and asked Zhao Changsheng again: "It's a little sweet, girls and children should like to eat it, and it's okay if the second cousin can't get used to it." ”

Zhao Changsheng ate a few bites in a row, and then said embarrassedly: "It's delicious, it's just ...... I always feel sweet when I eat too much. Men should not eat sweet, they must eat bitterly, and the masters all say so. ”

Since Li Xin started to make popcorn, there have been some people around, and when that kind of rich thought comes out, it makes people swallow even more.

While they were talking, someone asked, "Sister, what are you?" ”

"Pop popcorn." Li Xin said with a smile: "I made it at home, take advantage of the temple fair to do some business and sell it to see if anyone likes to eat it." ”

"It's sold bag by bag, right?" Someone else asked, "How much is a bag?" ”

Li Xin replied: "Seven dollars for gas are a bag, and four dollars for not refueling." ”

She has calculated that the price is a bit high, but if it is sold low, she will come for nothing. The money for butter and the pot must be recovered.

"It's a bit expensive......"

"But it tastes good."

"I just don't know how it tastes......"

There was a lot of talk around them, but no one reached out to buy it. Li Xin thought for a while and said, "You can taste what I made with oil." ”

As he spoke, he motioned for Ah Mei to give it to others to taste, and each person had two or three grains in their hands, and after a while, they were separated.

Li Xin said with a smile: "Add //.com no pop-ups, no ads// The taste of the oil is definitely much better than that without oil, everyone has also tasted it, if you think it is delicious, you can buy it." ”

Some children clamored for a bite to eat, but the adults had no choice but to pay for them to eat.

Someone started to buy, this business was easy to do, and some people bought it to eat one after another, Li Xin has been busy on the side, Zhao Changsheng watched Ah Mei do it a few times, and it was originally an apprentice like him who would be able to get started soon.

When this side is on the right track, Ah Mei is only responsible for collecting money and finding money, and by the way, her needlework is placed next to Li Xin's stall.
