Liu Guiyuan arrived at the second uncle's house, if she remembered correctly, they should have followed Brother Gouwa to the town to sell bamboo tube cakes yesterday morning, and I don't know how to sell them, just the second uncle's honesty, can he open his mouth to sell.

"Second uncle, second aunt, are you two at home, I'll come to your house to pick a few cucumbers to eat."

Liu Guiyuan stood outside the door, shouted twice at the top of his voice, and then pushed open the wooden door and walked in, the second uncle Liu Chonglin heard a sound outside, and hurriedly responded: "Hey, is it Guiyuan?" I'm in the kitchen. ”

When I entered the kitchen, the first thing that caught my eye was the bamboo steamer on the iron pot, and the second uncle who was busy sweating profusely, he stood in front of the table and kept stirring a pot of rice milk, seeing that this posture was very skillful.

Liu Guiyuan asked him with a smile: "Second uncle, how did the bamboo tube cake sell yesterday, is it okay, why is the second aunt not at home and went to the town by herself?" ”

Liu Chonglin poured the cooked rice milk into the raw rice milk, continued to stir constantly, and said while stirring: "Hehe, I went with your second aunt yesterday, and we couldn't open our mouths at first, but it was the boy from the dog baby who helped shout, and we opened it." But in the end, there are more people who come to buy bamboo tube cakes, all of them are repeat customers, yesterday sold 130 tubes a day, your second aunt also blamed me for doing less, delaying her to make money. ”

Liu Guiyuan saw that his rice milk was almost stirred, so he put the bamboo tubes placed against the wall one by one neatly on the stone platform next to him, and guessed with a smile: "Then the second aunt will let you make cakes at home today, and she is responsible for selling them in the town?" ”

Second uncle Liu Chonglin smiled honestly and said: "Isn't it, your second aunt thinks I'm stupid, so it's better to steam bamboo tube cakes at home, and when a hundred of them are ready, they will be sent to the town to meet her when they are half cool." By the way, what did you just say you were going to do? ”

Liu Guiyuan said that when he thought of picking a few cucumbers in his vegetable field, the second uncle thought what was the matter, waved his hand and told her to pick them casually, not only cucumbers, but also pumpkins, leeks, and tomatoes in the vegetable field.

Seeing that she didn't take the basket, Liu Chonglin shouted into the courtyard: "Tie Dan, go to the hall and get a vegetable basket for your sister Guiyuan." After shouting a few times, no one squeaked in the yard, and asked the second son Tie Zhu, who was burning the fire under the stove, strangely, "Where did your brother go, he was still eating bamboo tube cake here just now, why is there no one in a blink of an eye?" ”

Liu Tiezhu lowered his head and burned firewood, shook his head to say that he didn't know, and then thought of something and pouted and said: "Where else can I go, I must have gone out with a bamboo tube cake to show off, there is so much work at home, why do you want me to do it alone?" ”

The second uncle Liu Chonglin didn't believe it, so he went around the yard to look for iron eggs, but he didn't find it, and scolded angrily: "This dead child, what are the adults busy with, they only know how to eat and play, and they don't know how to help the family at all!" ”

Liu Yao, who was resting in the house, heard it, and replied angrily through the wall: "What are you doing when you always assign Tie Dan to do this and that, what does it look like when you love to go out into the wilderness!" ”

The second uncle frowned slightly when he heard this, and said to his mother: "Mother, the iron egg is what you are used to, you know all day long that you run out to play, you don't know what to do at home, you see that people are longan, only a month younger than her, and they can do business to support themselves." ”

Liu Guiyuan stood at the door of the kitchen, and said in his heart that the second uncle must not call her name, she was very busy today, and she really didn't want to quarrel with her grandmother Liu Yao, but with a full voice of anger, Liu Guiyuan knew that Liu Yao's was coming to find her.

"Can longan be compared with iron eggs, one is a girl and the other is a boy, a girl is born to revolve around the pot, the boy should go out to run and play all day long, can he grow solid if he doesn't go out to run and play?" Liu Yaoshi glanced at Liu Guiyuan with squinted eyes, and continued to chatter: "What's the use of the little girl making money again, when she grows up and marries, it's not for others to earn money, she can manage her mother's family?" ”

Look, what kind of crooked reasoning is this, according to Liu Yao's words, no one in the world should give birth to daughters, and those who give birth to daughters should strangle their children to death, so that they will not lose money.

Liu Guiyuan didn't bother to talk back to Liu Yao's at all, the best way to deal with such a person was to ignore her and make her sulk, sure enough, Liu Guiyuan turned his head and left as if he couldn't see her, Liu Yao's heart was upset, pointing at her back and scolding: "Look at her little girl, she doesn't shout when she sees me, think about it......

Second uncle Liu Chonglin didn't answer her mother's words, otherwise Liu Yao would have been able to pull him to nag all morning, he went into the kitchen and looked at the fire under the stove, it was estimated that it was almost cooked, and said to the second son Tiezhu: "Okay, go down to the pot and call you to burn the fire, you go to the vegetable field to help Longan pick vegetables first, remember to bring a basket, she won't send it back." ”

Liu Tiezhu was reluctant, he had been burning the fire since the morning, and now he couldn't stand the morning heat, and before he sat in the hall to rest, he had to go out to help Liu Guiyuan pick vegetables, why, couldn't she pick it herself?

"Didn't you hear, why don't you hurry up?"

Liu Chonglin yelled at him, Liu Tiezhu had to go to the hall to get a basket and walk out slowly, Liu Chonglin saw it, and said again: "Do you learn snails, grind and chirp, go and go back quickly, you will be steaming a pot soon." ”

Liu Tiezhu moved to the vegetable field with grief and indignation, at this time Liu Guiyuan had already picked three cucumbers, and was about to pick a few tomatoes to go home to mix with sugar to eat, when suddenly a vegetable basket appeared in front of him, and he looked up to see that it was his cousin Liu Tiezhu

Sent over.

"Oh, thanks, I'll pick a few tomatoes and go home without your help." Liu Guiyuan took the basket and walked towards the tomato seedlings in front of him, thinking that he would have time to clean up his vegetable patch, plant seven or eight kinds of vegetables, and look at other people, a vegetable garden can be eaten for half a year.

Liu Tiezhu didn't leave in a hurry, lowered his head and picked two sweet melons that were about to become elders, threw them at Liu Guiyuan's feet, clapped his hands and went back, without saying a word the whole time.

Liu Guiyuan didn't care, picked up the pumpkin and put it in the basket, saw that his family's beans grew well, took a small handful, and then carried the basket home, she taught the second uncle's family to make bamboo tube cakes, and it was natural to pick a few handfuls of small vegetables from his family to eat.

When I got home, the eldest sister Liu Hongjube had already returned, sitting in the hall to wash clothes, and the second sister was sitting on the mat with lotus seeds in her arms to coax her to play, and when she saw her come back, she said: "You have been picking a cucumber for half a year, and I am almost asleep." ”

Liu Guiyuan scooped up the water and washed the cucumbers, and said with a smile: "What can I do, our grandmother sees me like an enemy, and she will take advantage of the opportunity, and I don't care about her." Eldest sister, is the fourth grandmother willing to help? ”

Liu Hongzao washed the clothes, wrung the water in both hands, Liu Guiyuan went over to help her, and listened to her: "Why don't you want to, the fourth grandmother can't wait to earn more money, and when the ransom sister comes back in the autumn, our work of rubbing ice powder is not heavy, it is a large amount, and she can't be tired of doing it." ”

"That's okay, in the future, we usually arrange it like this, we don't make ice powder in the morning, just leave it at home to cook, wash clothes and feed pigs, occasionally go to the field to pull weeds and water, and in the afternoon, we will go to Sister Jin Di's house to help rub ice powder, whoever has something to do will be busy by themselves, but try not to delay the afternoon work."

Grandma Luo is not at home, and the work at home has to be rearranged, but fortunately, the fourth grandmother agreed to help, and they can save a little lighter.

"Guiyuan, what is your cucumber mask, and can you still do it?" Liu Huahua couldn't wait any longer, picked up a cucumber and chewed it in his mouth.

"No, I'll cut you into thin slices and stick them on your face, and then squeeze some cucumber juice for a while, and apply it to your face with pearl powder, which can refine the skin, let's try it."

Liu Guiyuan took the cucumber that the second sister had bitten half of and began to slice it......

Early the next morning, the eldest sister and the second sister went to weed in the maize field, and the lotus seeds were carried to Uncle Gu's house to watch, and Liu Guiyuan carried the basket to the town in the mule cart of the dog brother.

When he arrived in the town, Brother Dog Wa drove the mule cart to the small courtyard of Sun's house to store ice powder, Liu Guiyuan had already gotten out of the car in advance, and walked a kilometer south to Sun Jingxuan's foot shop.

It's only nine o'clock now, Liu Guiyuan remembers that she used to come at this point, and there were only a few customers in the store, why there was a long queue with bowls in front of the counter today, and there were five or six individual customers sitting at the table.

Look at this posture, Sun Jingxuan's foot shop is properly on fire!

Sun Jingxuan saw her coming, smiled at her, and told her to wait a little, and when she quickly served the fish scale jelly in her hand, and received two pennies, he waved his hand and said to the people in line behind him: "Today's cold salad is only sold for these, and if you want to eat, you can come back when the meal is ordered, but you have to go with the noodles." ”

Among the guests who didn't buy cold salad, there was an elderly woman, she lined up all morning, just to buy a bowl of fish scale jelly, and went home to pour oil, salt, vinegar and garlic, so as to coax the little grandson who didn't like to eat, and now he didn't buy a headache, so he asked the owner: "Sun shop, sell me one more, just one more, you don't know, my grandson grinds people tightly, if you can't eat the fish scale jelly you make, you can eat all day." “

The old woman begged for a long time, Sun Jingxuan was in business after all, how could she drive people away with a stiff face, so she had to quietly sell her a copy and tell her not to make a noise. After sending away the guests who bought cold salad, Sun Jingxuan put pork skin jelly and fish scale jelly with salt and vinegar and put them in front of Liu Guiyuan, and invited her to taste them.

Liu Guiyuan was not polite to him, stretched out his chopsticks and first sandwiched a piece of fish scale jelly, the fish scale jelly was originally gray-white, mixed with soy sauce and vinegar and turned into light yellow, chewing a smooth and soft elastic, not only did not have a fishy smell, but there was a sweet taste of fish, yes, this is the taste.

Try another plate of pork skin jelly, Liu Guiyuan taught Sun Jingxuan to make a clear freeze, the skin jelly presents a crystal clear amber color, you can clearly see the pork skin cut into thin strips, it tastes refreshing and not greasy, and it is very successful.

"Since you taught me to make these two cold dishes, the business in the store has been better, there are not many people at this time, and when the sun sets in the afternoon, there are so many customers in the store that they can't sit down, and they all come to eat cold tao snail noodles, cold snail noodles and cold salad."

Sun Jingxuan was afraid that she would eat salty, so he scooped a bowl of mung bean tea for her, and Liu Guiyuan drank two sips before he remembered and asked him: "The people in line just now only bought cold vegetables?" But that's fine, as long as you can make money. ”

Sun Jingxuan nodded, sat opposite her and said: "A pound of pork skin doesn't cost a few dollars, and fish scales don't cost money, these two ingredients are boiled one night in advance, and someone buys them the next day, and it is not enough to sell every day. ”
