Chapter 7 Lovely Wrongdoer
After Su Xiaomu counted the cakes, she handed the basket directly to the wronged boss, and she replied to him with a smile: "What is the guest talking about, the little woman does business with her conscience, and she will not arbitrarily set the price of things, although this five cents is a little more expensive than the vegetarian cake, but the lard and cornmeal I put are real, and there is absolutely no shortage of catties." ”
As soon as she said this, Zhou Lin and Gu Jingcheng, who were standing on the side, couldn't hold back a little on their faces.
They were not deaf, of course they could hear that Su Xiaomu was sarcastic that the two of them didn't buy it because it was too expensive.
But Su Xiaomu was talking to another guest again, and he was not good at interjecting. I had to turn my head and complain to Gu Jingcheng in a roundabout way. "I heard that your mother asked for a daughter-in-law for you at home, but don't be as sharp as this little girl, I see you, you can't bear it!"
"Don't talk nonsense! I'm not going to get married. ”
Gu Jingcheng said without thinking about it. That child daughter-in-law marrying her is not what he wants! I don't know where Zhou Lin heard about it, so he ran to him and said this.
Su Xiaomu's eyebrows jumped when he listened to it next to him, what's the matter?
In this ancient world, it was popular for scholars to speak ill of others in front of them?
She is also sharp-toothed, doesn't she mean that she has a spicy temperament? Brutal?
It's really a knife to the butt, and it opened my eyes.
, The husband of the original owner, whom she had never met, was also a scholar, and if her husband was as rude as the two students in front of her, she would rather die on the pillar with her head.
The "big customer" next to him turned his head.
"A few brothers, this woman has a rough temperament and is not interesting, like the boss, a woman with good craftsmanship and handsome appearance, who is not in a hurry to marry back as a daughter-in-law? If it's really the kind of girl who can't do anything, and only cries and cries, I Ning Mou feels like a drag! . ”
After the "big customer" finished speaking, Su Xiaomu squinted his eyes and quietly looked at the faces of the two students, and sure enough, it was even more ugly than just now.
Su Xiaomu was secretly refreshed, sent the three of them away, and clapped his hands and went back to find the Yin family to make peace.
But before that, she calculated that she had saved another fifty-six wen today, and with the money from selling cakes yesterday, she now had a total of more than one hundred.
When I went back, Yin's cakes were almost sold.
"Sister-in-law did a really good job today, when I came over just now, I saw a lot of people eating our cakes in their hands."
Su Xiaomu was not stingy with his praise for Yin, and his crooked crescent eyes looked cute and well-behaved.
"Thank you brother and sister for this, the cakes you made are delicious, otherwise how would people be willing to buy them?"
Yin was holding a copper coin in her hand, and her face was red with excitement now.
When all thirty loaves were sold, they could earn ninety cents.
And they don't have enough cakes to sell, if they can make a little more tomorrow, it will be even more!
With an excited face, she and Su Xiaomu went home after purchasing the materials for tomorrow's cakes.
As soon as she got home, she immediately told Li that she had calculated all the way.
"Mother, brother and sister, this method of making cakes can make our family a lot of money!"
Yin stuffed all the money she and Su Xiaomu earned today to the Li family, and she deliberately lowered her voice for fear that the Chen family would hear: "Excluding the money for buying things, my younger siblings and I earned a total of one hundred and fifty wen today, if we can make more cakes tomorrow, then maybe we can have an income of two or three hundred wen." ”
"With such an extra income in our family, life will be faster than before, after all, this month is calculated, and the cost is removed, but it is almost two taels of silver."
"Two taels of silver?"
After Li Shi understood Yin's calculation, he was shocked and couldn't even speak for a while.
He pursed his lips incredulously and said, "This daughter-in-law of the third family is so capable. ”
"Although my brother and sister have the ability, she is definitely an honest person."
Yin and Su Xiaomu were together for two days, and they didn't dare to say anything else, but in terms of dealing with people, she still had a little bit of a figure. "My brother and sister are not only smart, but also very reliable, but she will come to me first after every sale, and she will help me sell together if I can't sell out."
"The money we sold the cakes, she gave me nothing, and in the past two days, he took the initiative to remind me to bring food to my uncle, and asked my uncle if there was anything he particularly wanted to eat, and she made it for him tomorrow."
The Yin family spared no effort to say good things to Su Xiaomu in front of the Li family.
She really admires her younger brother and sister, who used to waste the family's money to drink medicine.
At that time, she didn't realize that there were so many ways to make money in her head.
"Okay, then you can follow her and continue to sell cakes, and leave this business at home to the two of you first."
Li pursed his lips and said.
"Then thank you mother, my brother and sister and I must do this business well, but my brother and sister are too busy in the past two days, and we have to cook when we come back in the evening, and we have to make the next day's cakes in advance, and she also followed us up the mountain this morning to dig wild vegetables."
Yin said and felt a little distressed Su Xiaomu. "My brother and sister are so weak, I'm really afraid that she won't be able to stand it and burn her body out."
"Then you can help her more, you are a sister-in-law, if you want me to be a mother-in-law, can you teach you?"
Li gave her a look, and Yin suddenly understood, anyway, her mother said it, so she can focus on being good to her younger siblings in the future.
……
Su Xiaomu was kneading cakes in the kitchen, she heard the sound of someone talking in Li's room, and guessed that Yin was talking to Li about selling cakes in the past two days.
She was not in a hurry, after kneading the dough, she put it aside to rise, and by the way, she quietly fried the chili salt that was not fried this morning.
"Third aunt, what are you doing?"
Yin's eldest daughter, Gu Ruotong, probed into the kitchen, covered her mouth and nose with her hands, frowned at the red and white powder in the pot and said, "What does the third aunt do to ask for so much salt?" Milk said that our salt is to be used for several months. ”
"Milk says you can't waste salt."
"I'm not a waste, this thing is used to wrap cakes, my mother knows it, and Ruotong you came just in time, the third aunt has something to ask you to do."
Su Xiaomu smiled and grabbed Gu Ruotong's shoulder, in fact, she was not a few years older than her, but the original owner may have developed earlier, and this little girl could only reach her shoulder.
"That's it." She took out the chili pepper for Gu Ruotong to see clearly, "You take your little sister to the mountain tomorrow to pick this fruit, and the third aunt of five catties will give you a copper plate, and give it to you quietly, so that your mother will not know." ”
"But ......"
"Isn't the third aunt's money going to be handed over to the milk?"
"This is my mother specially given to me for business, rather than bothering outsiders, it is better to let you earn this money, your mother also told me when she went out today, I want to save some dowry for you."
Su Xiaomu half-coaxed Gu Ruotong to agree, and as soon as the little girl put the chili pepper into her arms, Li and Yin went into the kitchen together.
"Don't be busy tonight, pack up and go back to sleep, and Ruotong, don't disturb your third aunt to rest, go out and take your younger brothers and sisters to wash up and sleep early."
Li sent Gu Ruotong away, and took over the kneading of dough from Su Xiaomu's hands.
In the past two days, she and the Yin family have been learning her craft, Su Xiaomule is leisurely, comfortably packed up her things and went back to sleep.
The next day she got up a little late, and Li and Yin had already made the wild vegetable cakes, and after she washed up, she followed Yin into the city.
"This is your cake for the guest, a total of ten Wen, if the guest thinks it is delicious, he can come again tomorrow, I am still in this position."
As soon as Su Xiaomu took the copper plate from the guest's hand, he felt that something was wrong, and when he looked up, ha, it was actually Yin Shi standing in front of her with a basket on her left.
