Chapter 19: Mulberry Jam
Su Xiaomu patted his chest with confidence, Gu Ruonan thought that he could show off to his friends with delicious food, and his eyes immediately lit up!
She couldn't wait to come to Su Xiaomu's side, and said with a look of anticipation: "I'...... I want to be the first to take! ”
"Okay, I'll give it to you as soon as I get it done."
Su Xiaomu smiled and rubbed Gu Ruonan's head, then looked at Gu Ruotong and smiled.
She could have guessed a little.
It is true that Chen likes his son, and Li also loves his younger son.
But Su Xiaomu believes that in the Li family's heart, they are all grandchildren, and they may not love each other to the same extent, but they will not be too biased after all.
When they went home, Yin and Chen went to the river to wash their clothes, Old Man Gu followed his two sons to farm, and Li sat in the yard watching his two grandsons play.
As soon as Su Xiaomu entered the door, he greeted him first, and then went to the kitchen to make mulberry sauce.
She washed a clay pot and set it aside to dry.
After picking the mulberries, soak them in salt water, and after about a quarter of an hour, carefully pull out the stems, clean them with clean water, and dry them on the surface.
Put water and a little sugar in the pot, put the mulberries together and boil, first boil on medium heat until the water boils, then take some wood out to reduce the temperature of the fire, and use a spatula to crush the mulberries and stir.
Probably once the sauce in the pot has thickened, you can put it in a clay pot and let it cool.
After making the mulberry sauce, Su Xiaomu took out the chili sauce that had been made in the morning and took some to make dinner.
She hadn't been selling cakes for a few days, she didn't know if everyone was still willing to support her, and she was still in the stage of adapting to the taste, so she didn't make so much chili sauce this time.
In the evening, I spread a few egg and wild vegetable cakes, fried a plate of pork and cabbage, and boiled a pot of white rice porridge, and after dividing the mulberry sauce left for the children, the rest were put on the dining table and could be added to the porridge to drink.
"Xiao Mu."
Just started the meal, Li didn't take the chopsticks, so he looked at her and Yin Shi first: "Uncle Wang from the village entered the city today, he said that the gangsters who made trouble before were arrested by the government and put in prison, and now the city is strictly controlled, and I don't know how much safer it is than a while ago, so my mother thought, do you want to continue to sell cakes." ”
In the end, every day is a considerable income, and Li does not want to miss it.
"Of course, if you want to wait two more days, my mother will agree."
"It's okay, we always have to believe the government, people say it's safe now, can they still lie to us?"
Su Xiaomu had long wanted to go into the city to make money, and after exchanging glances with Yin, she immediately responded.
"Okay, then tomorrow morning, my mother will knead the cake with your sister-in-law."
Li's frowning brows relaxed, and she was satisfied with a piece of chopsticks and meat into Su Xiaomu's bowl: "Young people just want to eat more, drink two bowls of porridge tonight." ”
"Huh?"
Su Xiaomu didn't know how to answer at this time.
She and Yin both slept early that night, and arrived at the city gate the next day before it opened.
There's no way, who told me to just catch the market today, there are many people doing business, if you don't rush early, I'm afraid you won't even have a place for them.
As soon as the city gate opened, they hurriedly went to the market, and finally occupied a good position, Su Xiaomu and the Yin family had to do business separately.
There were many passers-by, and Su Xiaomu didn't go to the end of the street to sell, so she casually found a good place to stand, and began to shout.
"Sell bread! Delicious omelettes! ”
She has a loud voice, and she is willing to put down her face, and the egg cake is really fragrant, so most passers-by are willing to stop and take a look.
But as soon as a few were sold, Su Xiaomu heard someone calling her.
"The boss hasn't been here for days!"
Su Xiaomu was doing business in full swing at this time, and the guests came and went shouting the boss, she reflexively looked up, and her smile was immediately a few degrees brighter than that of ordinary guests.
"I haven't seen Gongzi Zhou for so long, is Gongzi studying hard in the academy?"
After wrapping the cake for the last guest, she picked up an oiled paper bag and beckoned to Zhou Lin: "How many do you old man want this time?" ”
"Wrap the rest of your life for me, and I'll take it back to my classmates to eat."
Zhou Lin folded the fan in his hand, and a charming smile appeared on his face: "It's still the same sentence, if the boss has any new products, if you have anything you want to sell, you can come to the academy to find me, the boss has good skills, and my classmates are full of praise for the cakes you make." ”
"Childe praised, the little woman is just a peasant woman, how can she afford such praise from the child, but if it is about making cakes, the little woman thinks that she still has more experience than others, if the son really wants to take care of the little woman's business for a long time in the future, it is better to come to the market more."
Packed all the cakes and handed them to Zhou Lin, and only when he saw that he was far away did he go to find the Yin family.
On the other side, Zhou Lin immediately returned to the academy with the cake, he took one and said to Gu Jingcheng while gnawing on it: "Just the little lady who sold cakes in the bazaar, you said that you saved her, and now they are back to continue selling." ”
"So bold?"
Gu Jingcheng frowned, he put the cakes on the table beside him, and then continued to pick up and write articles.
Even though he was a little hungry at the moment, if he hadn't completed his homework that day, he would never have satisfied his appetite first.
After the last word was written down and he was satisfied with the whole text, he poured himself a cup of tea to moisten his throat, and then picked up a cake to eat.
When I took a bite, I found that the taste was not the same as the previous day.
"It seems that the taste has changed."
He took another bite and noticed that the sauce on it had changed its taste.
"The boss said to put some sugar, but these are not important, I now admire this little lady more and more, she is really a person who doesn't even want her life to make money...... Eccentric. ”
After Zhou Lin swallowed the last bite of bread, he slurred his words and said, "Anyway, as long as she sells cakes for a day, I will take care of her business for a day." ”
"It's a big deal."
Gu Jingcheng also solved it in a few mouthfuls.
Although this thing is delicious, if you eat it every day and eat it every day, it will be delicious, and it will taste like chewing wax after a long time.
Gu Jingcheng originally planned to read a book for a while after eating, but the scholar of the academy came to see him outside the door.
I secretly estimated that it was time in my heart, and it was almost the day when my family would send him something.
When I went out to take a look, sure enough, Yin had a burden in her arms, and looking at the things she was carrying in her hand, it seemed that she still had some food.
"Third uncle."
As soon as he met Gu Jingcheng, the Yin family always hesitated and didn't know what to say.
She looked at Gu Jingcheng's eyebrows and eyes, and she looked like she was rejecting people thousands of miles away, and she was even more frightened in her heart.
I had to hand him the burden with trembling hands and said, "This is before going out...... Before going out, my mother explained, there were some changes of clothes in it, and there were ...... And some handkerchiefs that your second sister-in-law knitted for you. ”
In addition to weaving handkerchiefs to sell, the Chen family was also responsible for the sweat towels that Gu Jingcheng needed in the academy.
"Don't bother."
After listening to Yin's words, the coldness on Gu Jingcheng's face melted slightly: "If there is no accident, I will be able to go home tomorrow." ”
