Chapter 6: Strange Men

Before Su Xiaomu and Yin stepped into the house, Chen put down the embroidery work in his hand and pulled them into the courtyard quickly.

Li Shi was waiting for the two of them at the gate of the courtyard, she first stared at Su Xiaomu, and only after seeing her usual face with a smile did she move her gaze to the basket that Yin Shi was carrying on his arm.

"How? Are the cakes easy to sell? ”

Li Shi was also a little hesitant at this time, she was sure that this thing could make money yesterday, but she didn't stare at them to sell at the market, and she didn't know if they could do a good job with their weak appearance?

"It's selling well." Su Xiaomu affectionately went up and grabbed Li's arm and rubbed it and said to her in a soft voice, "My sister-in-law and I set a price for the cakes, three cents each, three cakes are cheaper than one penny, and they were sold out after a while after entering the city." ”

As soon as the words fell, she untied the purse on her waist and handed the copper plates to the Li family: "A total of eighty-five wen was sold, and my sister-in-law and I cut some meat to make cakes tomorrow at the butcher shop, which cost thirty wen, and there are fifty-five wen here." ”

Su Xiaomu told Li clearly where the copperplate went, Yin couldn't speak, so he didn't speak as fast as her, so he kept nodding at the moment.

"Xiao Mu is right, I am doing business today thanks to her, otherwise the wild vegetable cake would have smashed in my hand."

After talking to Li for a while, Su Xiaomu went to the kitchen. He boiled the big stick bones.

Then take out the lard and boil the oil.

First, cut the lard into small pieces, then pour it into a pot and add water to boil, so that the cooked lard will be more translucent than the dry boil.

The lard residue is refined, and the lard is set aside to condense.

She took out the leftover white flour at home, mixed it with cornmeal, kneaded it into a ball, and wrapped the wontons with lard residue.

Cook the wontons with fragrant bone broth, sprinkle a handful of chives when they are about to come out of the pot, and when they are served, the tongue of the Gu family is almost fragrant.

After eating, Su Xiaomu took the initiative to wash the dishes, but Li assigned Chen to wash them.

She didn't rob it, after all, she could see it in the past two days, and if she wanted to live well in this family, she still had to rely on Li's mother-in-law.

I didn't see Chen's reluctance when she was called to wash the dishes, but she still didn't say a word, and she didn't dare to look at Li's side more, which was enough to see how good her mother-in-law was at disciplining her daughter-in-law.

Early the next morning, Su Xiaomu first followed Yin and Chen up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, she continued to take advantage of their inattention to pick up a large handful of chili peppers, and then when she went back, she took the opportunity to make breakfast and made chili salt by the way.

After breakfast, she and the Yin family went into the city to sell wild vegetable cakes.

But this time I did a little more, almost sixty.

"Sister-in-law, let's sell it separately like yesterday, if you still don't sell well in the future, I'll come over and help you again, okay?"

"Okay, then my sister-in-law will have to ask you for help."

Yin didn't refuse, she could see it yesterday that this younger brother and sister of hers was a person with real skills.

And she...... Just took advantage of this business opportunity to change her temper.

Yin secretly cheered himself up in his heart, and then carried the basket and shouted softly: "Sell wild vegetable cakes......

Su Xiaomu specially went around a little farther to sell today, shouting and wondering if he could still see the wronged boss yesterday.

But business was a little bleaker to-day than yesterday, and a quarter of an hour or two had passed before she had sold six loaves of bread.

"Jingcheng, I said that you don't always lock yourself in the academy to study, the master said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, we usually have to go out and walk around more, otherwise what should we do if we are stupid to read?"

Gu Jingcheng's classmate and friend Su Lin didn't eat this morning, and it happened that the master had something to do to get out of school early, so he dragged Gu Jingcheng out to eat.

"I want to eat bread, I don't know if the old cow in the east of the city is still selling meatloaf."

Gu Jingcheng ignored him, and Su Lin was not in a hurry.

He took him to the market with ease, but he didn't see the old cow today, but he smelled another smell of cakes.

"I said, boss, what are you wrapping this cake? It's a bit expensive to sell for five cents. ”

Su Lin smelled the smell of wild vegetable cakes in Su Xiaomu's basket, not to mention, although it didn't smell meaty, it was unexpectedly fragrant.

Hooked him, there are some gluttonous insects at this time.

The guest laughed, my cake is kneaded with lard and cornmeal, how can it be expensive? And I also put exclusive spices to taste, which tastes much more fragrant than ordinary cakes. ”

He was not the first to shout expensive among the guests Su Xiaomu encountered, so he didn't pay attention to it.

She rolled up a cake with oiled paper and handed it to Su Lin and said with a smile: "Guests may wish to take a closer look, there are many differences between my cake and what others sell." ”

"You said this thing was kneaded with lard and cornmeal?"

Gu Jingcheng raised his eyes, he looked at the cake she handed over and disagreed, "What you made is clearly a wild vegetable cake, although we have never seen the spices sprinkled on it before, but how can you be a precious thing?" ”

Huh? This also ran into a bar spirit?

Of course, Su Xiaomu was not angry.

She put the bread back in the basket and said to him with a smile: "It's okay, if this guest thinks that my cake is not worth the price, he can not buy it, or by the way, other people's cakes taste different from ours." ”

Anyway, she didn't have a lot of guests for the two of them, Su Xiaomu turned around and prepared to go to something else after speaking

Even if the man who spoke behind him looked a little more handsome, his skin was a little whiter, and he was taller, she couldn't look down on him.

"How can the boss say that?"

Gu Jingcheng saw that her face turned cold for a moment, and frowned unhappily, the woman went out to do business, and it was not good to talk to the guests, but she looked sharp-toothed.

"It's understandable that there are doubts about this open door to do business, as long as the quality of the boss's things can naturally block the mouth of Youyou, but the boss is like this, but he is a little weak-hearted."

"Alas, alas, you two don't want to be like this, make money in harmony!"

Zhou Lin saw that something was wrong with the situation, and hurriedly came out to play a joint game.

"If a guest's friend talks like this, how can we be angry and make money?"

Su Xiaomu really didn't want to do business for the two of them, and it just so happened that at this time, the big customer who came to her to buy cakes yesterday came over, and Su Xiaomu immediately turned his head and directly ignored the existence of the two of them.

"The guest is here again today? How many cakes do you want to buy? ”

She remembered the face of this guest so suddenly yesterday, and it was very "amiable"!

"Wrap all your cakes for me, boss, your stuff is really delicious, if your family sells anything else in the future, remember to tell me, I will definitely come to support the boss of your field, it doesn't matter if the price is expensive, I can afford it."
