I remember when my grandmother made halva, it was white sugar mixed with starch sugar to make the icing, and then inside was fried peanuts and ground peanuts.

Then she will go to buy caramel first, buy more and come back, sell more than 400 tea eggs and then start selling halva, this day can earn a silver or two to be satisfied, yesterday I earned 800 Wen, no, if the halva is successful, it should be able to sell more.

The eggs in the space consumed four hundred and ten yesterday, and today's consumption is only about nine hundred, and this is because she counts the eggs every day to know that it is really clear, otherwise it is not easy to count eight or nine hundred eggs piled up there.

These 900 are enough to sell for three days, and there are still 360 of them that can be picked up in three days, so it is not a way to only sell tea eggs, she has to think of other ways.

7700 + 1350 catties of bud rice, this is 9050 catties, and then harvest today's 1350 catties to upgrade the space, and then she will plant sugarcane again, stock up on a little sugarcane out, and then plant food to upgrade the space.

In this way, there is no shortage of white sugar for her halva, and there seems to be no such thing as white sugar here, so no one can copy the halva she makes, and this business can continue to be done elsewhere.

This lasts longer than selling tea eggs.

Xia Qiyue went out and soon arrived at the market, she remembered that the shop selling caramel yesterday was a little west away, and sure enough, it didn't take long to find a place.

In ancient times, sweets were really expensive, and she also knew about it in books, although she was distressed about money, she still had to buy it, and she bought two catties to go back.

The pace is in a hurry, and he also dresses up in disguise, so even if there are people who know Xia Qiyue, they can't recognize him.

What's more, everyone was waiting to drink porridge, and no one had entered the city so early to hang around and punish them.

By the time they got home, the four of them had washed all four hundred eggs and put them in the pot to boil.

In the summer and September, there is a look like whether the eggs are cooked after the water is boiled, and the eggshells have to be broken to taste when they are cooked.

And the two little ones were already hiding on the side, one of them gnawing on an apple, scribbling and drawing on the ground.

Xia Qiyue put the caramel on the stove, took out all the peanuts that were peeled yesterday from the space, and then began to mash them with a rolling pin.

This peanut crush has to be crushed, and the piece is too big to form a sugar cube.

When the two of them saw this, they immediately dropped the wooden stick in their hands and ran over with the half-eaten apple to help.

Xia Qiyue is not the kind of person who doesn't let children touch anything for fear of children making trouble.

He gave the two of them a rolling pin to pound, and stood by himself while watching and laughing.

The two children were probably a little embarrassed to play, and it didn't take long for them to give the rolling pin to Xia Qiyue, saying that they wouldn't.

After satisfying the curiosity of the two little ones, they went about their own games and stopped making trouble.

Xia Qiyue used her strength to mash peanuts, and a pot of tea eggs was removed from the fire when they were cooked, and Xia Jiu also smashed the eggshell of each tea egg, and her peanuts were also mashed.

Then there was the step of turning sugar, but she didn't rush to make halva, but chose to sell the tea eggs first.

I couldn't move it once, but I didn't ask my younger brothers and sisters to help, and after I put on my makeup, I changed into men's clothes, and went out with a wooden barrel filled with half of the tea eggs.

As soon as she arrived at the market, the lady who sold the apple beckoned to her, "Young man, come here, the lady has taken a place for you!" ”

Xia Qiyue smiled at the eldest lady, and then laboriously carried the barrel over.

"Young man, why are you out of the stall so late? This position was almost snatched up! ”

Xia Qiyue became thicker, and her voice spoke: "It takes some time for the tea eggs to be boiled!" Thank you Auntie for giving me a seat, eat a tea egg and try it! ”

Saying that, he fished out a tea egg for her and handed it over, and the eldest lady also had such a little meaning to actively occupy a place for her, and when she saw that the young man was so good, she took it happily.

"Auntie really loves to eat your tea eggs, leave a few for your aunt when you close the stall, and take them home for your uncle to taste!"

"Gotcha!"

After speaking, I started today's sales work, and it didn't take long for the people who bought it yesterday to come back to buy it, and there was the Tang family's housekeeper Mama, she still looked like 2580,000 yuan, but she asked for fifty as soon as she opened her mouth.

Xia Qiyue couldn't figure it out, just tea eggs, can a family eat fifty a day?

However, how much people buy is their business, and it has nothing to do with her, she can just sell it.

However, the housekeeper of the Tang family explained everything by herself.

"The master's in-laws came over with their families last night, no, the tea eggs I bought back yesterday were not enough to eat, and the in-laws and the family's family were too edible..."

Everyone in Maoshan Town knows that there is a poor family outside Tang Yuan, and the family has a large population, so they come to stay for two days and have a good meal from time to time.

But on the contrary, this poor daughter-in-law also gave birth to the eldest grandson of their old Tang family, and when the in-laws are not too much, the Tang family can't say anything about living in the house for two days and eating a few meals.

As soon as I heard the housekeeper's unwilling complaints, I knew that this in-laws were not welcomed in the Tang family.

After Xia Qiyue waited for the housekeeper to leave, he listened to it from the mouths of the people queuing up to buy tea eggs.

But I didn't take it seriously, I just thought about the question of where to sell the halva after a while.

The Tang family is a place to go, but how much can a mansion buy, she still has to think about it, it is obviously not feasible to sit in the market and sell like tea eggs, and she can't sell much.

Soon the first barrel was sold out, and she hurried back to get the second barrel back.

When I went back, I bought 20 catties of peanuts with the old lady who sold peanuts and melon seeds yesterday, just to let my younger brothers and sisters peel peanuts at home.

When the old lady heard that Xia Qiyue was going to buy twenty catties of peanuts, the old face that had not yet opened all morning was full of folds.

She also carried twenty pounds out, and she sold them all today.

Twenty catties is a hundred copper plates, which is enough for their family to spend more than half a month, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, maybe they can buy some tea foam to drink with the old man.

Xia Qiyue walked back with a wooden bucket in one hand and peanuts in the other, the peanuts were not weighed, and twenty catties were a cotton bag.

The second bucket of tea eggs took a bit long to sell, and it was already past lunch time when they were sold out.

Xia Qiyue hurriedly went back after selling it, she didn't put the food here, it was all in the space, so her younger brothers and sisters hadn't cooked yet, but the peanuts were peeled four or five catties.

The two little ones were also helping on the side, and the four of them were doing very energetically.

She hurriedly recruited her brother to make a fire and make lunch.

For lunch, I still eat white rice, braised dried rabbit meat, stewed egg custard, and a beautiful lunch is good.

All five of them had worked all morning, and the food around the table was particularly delicious.
