Chapter Forty-Six: Eating Meat Buns
"Mother is right, since we want to open a shop, we can't only sell so many things like before, although the meat bun and braised eggs are good, but they will be tired of eating it every day, and this ice powder and pancake fruit are different."
Su Xiaomu handed her the bowl of ice powder in front of Li Shi as if offering a treasure: "This soup is cold and refreshing, and I also poured brown sugar ginger on it, it is sweet and icy, and no one can refuse its beautiful taste." ”
Hand rubbing ice powder, if this is placed in modern times, it is a big killer in cool summer!
Li took it and took a sip, and sure enough, such a mouthful of ice powder went down to the stomach, and the heat of the whole day dissipated.
After drinking the ice powder, she tasted the pancake fruit again, and after biting into the yellow noodles inside, she asked Su Xiaomu curiously, "What is this yellow long thing in this?" ”
It tastes like it's fried in strips of flour, not to mention, it's weirdly delicious.
"It's called a fritter."
Su Xiaomu raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect that there was not even the most basic breakfast like fritters here.
But it makes sense when you think about it.
After all, fritters cost oil, and on their side, some people can't see any meat all year round, let alone eat this kind of waste oil.
After eating, Su Xiaomu was not in a hurry to clean up.
She looked at Chen, who was sitting under the tree with the soles of her shoes, and leaned over to talk to her with a smile on her face.
"I didn't expect my second sister-in-law to be so good, she can embroider and accept soles, and the second brother is really blessed."
Su Xiaomu picked up the sole of a shoe that Chen had put in the basket.
She did not hesitate to praise Chen's craftsmanship: "Such exquisite skills are all over the village, and if the second sister-in-law is called second, I am afraid that no one will dare to say that she is the first." ”
"No wonder Xiaomu, you can always please your mother, you can talk like this at such a young age, who doesn't like it when you see it."
Chen was not in a good mood, but now that she looked at the smile on Su Xiaomu's face, she couldn't say a word ugly.
She sneered.
"Come on, let's not talk darkly, you came to me like this, I'm afraid there is something you want me to do."
If she has nothing to do, she also knows a little about this concubine.
"It's just that I have a business that wants to trouble my second sister-in-law.
I'm not going to make ice powder here, but the most important ice powder seeds have to find someone to help collect them, and the eggs are also an important input. ”
Su Xiaomu knew that the Chen family loved money, and she didn't play dumb riddles with her: "Although we are a family, the accounts that should be calculated must be calculated clearly, two catties of ice powder seeds and two pennies, as for the eggs, ......"
"I won't ask you for extra money for eggs, in the end, it's something that the family eats, and I'm so clear that I'm afraid that my mother will blame, but if you want more eggs, I have to go to the village chief's daughter-in-law to collect it......"
Seeing that she said it so clearly and clearly, Chen was also keen to settle accounts with her: "A penny and an egg, if you think it's okay, then I will take care of these two things from now on." ”
"Okay, then these two things will trouble the second sister-in-law."
Su Xiaomu knew that the market price of eggs was three cents for two.
But it doesn't matter.
The money is earned by the family, and Chen is willing to give this extra cost.
At night, Su Xiaomu quietly got up while the family was asleep and put the chili sauce she was going to sell tomorrow into a basket.
She counted them and checked them one by one to make sure there were no quality problems before she put her mind at ease.
This batch of chili sauce was sold, and the money she had in her hand could be even more.
On the second day, Su Xiaomu and Yin's entered the city after breakfast, and this time they also called a few children in the family to go together.
Both the shop and the yard need to be cleaned, and she and the Yin family can be more relaxed with a few more people.
They had been working in the shop until noon.
There were too many things, and Su Xiaomu had no place to cook lunch, so she thought that she could finally take the children out, and it would be a little too bleak to deal with a casual meal, so she thought about taking them to eat something delicious.
"Sister-in-law, don't be busy yet, let's go buy some meat buns to eat."
Su Xiaomu took the cloth that wiped the table from Yin's hand, and she blinked mischievously.
"The children have finally entered the city, so we can't ask them to eat bran with us."
After she finished speaking, she deliberately leaned to the side, revealing the longing eyes of several children.
"But...... But we didn't have a lot of money with us. ”
Yin touched her pocket a little crampedly, she thought that she was simply out to clean today, so she didn't carry the money bag on her back at all.
But......
The eyes of the two daughters who crave meat are too hot.
Especially Ruotong, she has always been a sensible girl, and it is the first time she looks at herself with such eyes.
"It doesn't matter, I have money with me."
Su Xiaomu wanted to eat meat buns.
Yin thought about it, a few meat buns, it didn't cost much.
After discussing it, Su Xiaomu locked the shop and took a few children to the market to eat meat buns.
Two large meat buns per person.
She was greedy and bought a meatloaf in addition to the meat bun.
Just as she was nibbling on the meatloaf and taking a few children to visit the pastry shop, she saw a face that she didn't want to see at all lately.
"Third uncle!"
Gu Ruochen was the first to see Gu Jingcheng, and he was so excited that he immediately wanted to pounce on Gu Jingcheng's leg and hug it.
Embarrassing, embarrassing......
How did you meet him right here?
And at this moment, Gu Jingcheng looked at Su Xiaomu and was also slightly stunned.
When he went out today, he didn't see her and her sister-in-law setting up a stall, thinking that she really listened to him and stopped coming to the city to do business.
Gu Jingcheng still had some moisturizing feelings in his heart at that time.
After all, the two of them are women, and it is somewhat inconvenient to do business in the city.
But at this time, I met her again in the market, and I took several children with me into the city.
Gu Jingcheng's eyes sank, and he was about to ask.
"Third uncle and third uncle, you haven't been home for a long time, don't you want Ruochen at all?"
Gu Ruochen and Guo Ruochuan kept talking around Gu Jingcheng.
Su Xiaomu just took advantage of this gap to add another sentence: "There is nothing to do at home today, my sister-in-law and I discussed taking a few children into the city to go shopping, Ruotong and Ruonan have grown so big, but they have never entered the city once." ”
"It's good to go into the city and take a look, buy whatever you want to buy, the opportunity is rare, don't be wronged."
When Gu Jingcheng heard this, he glanced at his two nieces and saw that they were looking at him with a little fear.
He didn't force it, but he still took out some money from the money bag and handed it to Su Xiaomu.
"I didn't know that you came, you didn't have much money with you, you take it, and they can buy whatever they want to eat."
Gu Jingcheng put the money into Su Xiaomu's hand, and his usual wrinkled brows were unusually relaxed a little at this moment.
Although he was facing Su Xiaomu, his tone was much better than usual: "Sister-in-law is thrifty, I'm afraid I'm reluctant to spend money on my children." ”
