The braised pork in the cauldron is cooked. Chunhong fishes it out, puts it aside to cool, and then cuts it into small pieces.

Looking at the tempting braised pork, Wu Baozhu swallowed his saliva.

"How much do you get paid a month?" Wu Baozhu asked.

"No pay."

"No pay?" Wu Baozhu felt that it was impossible.

"I almost died, but it was the owner who saved me."

At this time, there were guests coming, and the spring red scalded rice noodles.

After she was busy for a while, Wu Baozhu said:

"Go back and see your parents, they are about to be forced to death by the Ruan family."

Chunhong has been out of marriage for almost a month, and she has never gone back, and she has not found anyone to pick up a message.

"What did they force it?"

"They want your family to take your little sister, or they will pay twenty taels of silver."

"My little sister?" Chunhong was surprised. Her sister was only nine years old.

"Your mother hid your little sister elsewhere, and the Ruan family stayed at your house every day to ask for silver, and your mother was almost dragged to Ruan's village."

Chunhong was silent.

Her father and mother are responsible people, and they have been in the mountains all their lives and have never seen the market.

Before meeting Fang Yu and Chen Xiao, Chunhong's vision was only on the hillside of the village. Although she longed for the county seat, at that time, in her opinion, the county seat was unattainable.

Twenty taels of silver...... If she had left it behind, she would have thought it was a huge amount, but now ......

"You go back and give a message to my father and tell them I'm here."

"Okay."

Wu Baozhu nodded. Even if Chunhong doesn't say it, she will tell the Hu family and the Ruan family when she goes back that Chunhong is in the county seat.

At this time, another guest came, and Chunhong began to be busy.

Wu Baozhu couldn't see that he couldn't eat white food, so he said goodbye to her.

After the person left, the little stone asked Chunhong:

"Who's that friend?"

"It's not."

Chunhong's tone was cold.

……

After noon, the Chun Kee Snack House closed. Because the things have been sold out, even if Chen Xiao grinds out the rice noodles, there are no more toppings.

When Chunhong counted the word "positive", she was surprised that one hundred and ninety-three bowls were sold today.

It's a pity, if only she had prepared more things, she thought she could sell another hundred and ninety-three bowls in the afternoon.

In the backyard, small rocks are cleaning pots and pans.

"Sister Chen, what is mixed in this water, how can there be foam? …… Eh, the oil washed off at once. ”

Before Chen Xiao could speak, Fang Yu said:

"It's her secret, and I won't even tell it. Not to mention you. ”

Chen Xiao glanced at Fang Yu amusedly. Didn't say anything.

Chunhong cleaned up the shop in front of her, held a heavy bamboo box, and came to the backyard.

The bamboo box contains their income from selling rice noodles.

Chunhong said: "I sold one hundred and ninety-three bowls today, now let's count the money." ”

She went to find a few pieces of hemp rope and threaded them into a string of different denominations, each with a hundred pieces on it.

In this era, the face value of literary money was one, two, five, and ten. Most of the money in the bamboo box is five or ten denominations.

Chen Xiao said: "One hundred and ninety bowls, it should be five thousand seven hundred and ninety dollars." ”

Xiao Shi was surprised: "I earned more than five taels of silver in half a day!" ”

Chen Xiaodao: "This is gross income, not pure profit, but also to remove costs." ”

"How much does that bowl of rice noodles cost?"

"About fifteen."

Xiao Shi sighed: "That's a lot, I make more than two taels of silver a day!" ”

Fang Yudao: "This is not counting the wages of me and your sister Chen, we have at least fifty taels of silver a day." ”

Chen Xiao glanced at Fang Yu. Fifty-two a day? Dream on!

Fang Yu likes to watch Chen Xiaobai a little. That delicate little appearance is so cute.

Fifty taels, he said to Shaoli. No one can afford to pay his wages.

Chen Xiaodao: "I went out to buy vegetables. ”

Fang Yu got up: "I'll go with you." ”

They sold everything out of their stuff today, and everyone hadn't had lunch yet. In addition, it is necessary to prepare the materials for the sale of rice noodles tomorrow.

The two went out, and Xiao Shi said to Chunhong:

"If business is so good in the future, how can you be busy alone!"

Chunhong wore money and counted it, glanced at him, and continued to count.

Xiaoshi had something to say, but he couldn't talk to Chunhong if he thought about it, so he buried his head and continued to wash.

Chen Xiao and Fang Yu came to the street, the people on the street were still so crowded, Fang Yu stretched out his hand and pulled Chen Xiao to his side.

Chen Xiao didn't react much to his movements. As long as it is reasonable contact, such as holding and pulling, she feels normal. What's more, her attention now is to see what is sold on the street.

As she walked, Fang Yu suddenly grabbed her, and Chen Xiao stopped. Unconsciously, Fang Yu's position has changed to the person behind her side and behind her, blocking her with her chest and shoulders.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Xiao saw Fang Yu staring at a stall on the side of the road. The stall was selling a pile of stones.

Fang Yu squatted down and picked up a piece, looked at it for a moment, and asked, "How do you sell it?" ”

The stall owner, a man in his forties, replied, "Depends on which piece you want." ”

Fang Yu picked up a few pieces, looked at them carefully, and asked:

"Where did you dig this stone from?"

The stall owner smiled innocently: "I can't tell you this." ”

Fang Yu put down the stone, patted the dust on his hands, and pulled Chen Xiao away.

"What kind of stone is that?" Chen Xiao asked.

"A tiny spirit stone."

Chen Xiao didn't understand the meaning of these words: "What is a negligible spirit stone?" ”

"It's just that this stone contains spiritual essence, but the content is not much, very little."

"What's the use of this stone?" Chen Xiao asked. Since it is sold on the street, it is naturally worth something.

"I don't know."

"I don't know if you're still asking for a price."

Chen Xiao was curious. Turning back, he asked the stall owner what kind of stone it was, and the stall owner said it was jade.

No matter how Chen Xiao looks at it, it doesn't look like jade. She had seen jade wool, and this stone looked more like quartz.

The water is too deep to play with the stones, and you will be ruined if you accidentally cheat you.

Chen Xiao was not interested in the stone, so she also pulled Fang Yu away.

Fang Yu saw her pulling her sleeve, the corners of her mouth smiled, she didn't resist or remind.

"You said it was a tiny spirit stone, and he said it was jade, but I looked at it and felt like a quartz stone. What kind of stone is that? ”

"Spirits can be in many kinds of stones. But he's definitely not jade. Fang Yu didn't know what kind of stone she was talking about.

"I think he's probably a liar. In this kind of village market, there are some people who seem to be honest and honest, relying on his deceptive face to deceive those who don't understand. Chen Xiao once fell for such a fool.

Fang Yu smiled and didn't say anything. This is the county seat, and she says it's a village market. When the stone is polished, it does look a bit like jade, but it is not real jade. It seems that Chen Xiao still has some knowledge, and it is not easy to deceive her.

The two of them walked to the section of the road selling meat and vegetables, and Chen Xiao ordered pork belly and killed chickens with the two families who often buy meat and chicken, and they will deliver them to the store early tomorrow morning. Then they bought their own meat and vegetables and returned to the store.
