Su Xiaomu put down the work in her hand and came out to entertain the guests, and the smile on her face was still very standard: "In addition to the meat bun and braised eggs, we have two more things, one is called pancake fruit, and the other is called ice powder." ”

"Ice powder? It's new. ”

The guest shook the fan in his hand, and each of the interesting ones was lit, "Boss, there is still ice?" ”

"It's just because you can beat the heat after eating it and get a good name.

In these years, except for the government yamen and wealthy families, where can you see ice, that is, the guests, you are well-informed and know such strange things. ”

Su Xiaomu knew how to make ice, but under normal circumstances, she didn't dare to show off this cleverness.

The regular customers were served, and several more guests came in the back.

Su Xiaomu sold them the signature dishes in the shop one by one.

A few children had also returned from the market, and she asked them to help with the food, and called Chen and Yin in.

Chan was in charge of greeting guests, while Yin followed her in the kitchen.

Gradually, the number of customers increased, and the benefits of this narrow alley were gradually revealed.

When there are more people, the louder the sound of gathering together, and the smaller the place, the more lively this place becomes.

Just when it was time for the end of the academy, many students came to eat with the fragrance.

They had just come out of the academy at this moment, and they were facing the sun and the scorching sun, and it was the time when the heat was urgent.

One person took a bite of ice powder, relieved the heat all over his body, and then thought about the next meal.

"I said boss, your ice powder is really antipyretic, and a few of us will go down in this bowl, which can be regarded as completely dissipating the heat on our bodies."

A student talked to Su Xiaomu.

She is no stranger to this person, and when she set up a stall in the college a few days ago, this student often took care of her business.

can be regarded as one of the few regular customers that Su Xiaomu rarely remembers.

"Otherwise, you will eat it or Luo Gongzi, this ice powder is a new food I just researched a few days ago, and it is the most suitable for a bowl in the summer."

She saw that the students at this table had drunk the ice powder, so she took the opportunity to sell the other food in the shop.

"Now that you've had a good time, why don't you try our new food? The pancake fruit is also very good. ”

"That's not in a hurry, we just want to ask the boss now if you still sell this ice powder in the afternoon?

I see that your business is very good, and when we get out of school in the afternoon, I'm afraid we won't have such good things to eat. ”

It's so hot every day, Luo Gongzi looked at the gentle and beautiful boss, and his voice was more gentle: "I don't know if the boss is willing to make an extra meal of ice powder for the students of the academy to sell in the afternoon?"

Boss, don't worry, since we have troubled you, we are also willing to pay more. ”

"Yes, yes, I'll give you an extra penny per bowl, it's too hot, and everyone can't stand it."

"That's right, boss, you just think about it, after all, your shop is close to the academy, and it's not particularly troublesome to go back and forth."

Student, you are talking about me, and everyone is staring at Su Xiaomu with extremely expectant eyes, but it is difficult for her to say no words.

It's just that today, it's really not possible to make them an extra meal of ice powder.

After all, there are only so many ice powder seeds, and I didn't rub out so many copies to sell last night.

She felt a little sorry for the extra penny per bowl, but she had to refuse bitterly.

"I'm really sorry for you, it's not that I don't want to sell it for more money, it's just that I really don't have so much ice powder for you, so it's better like this.

You pay a part of the deposit first, and I will take the ice powder to the gate of the academy early tomorrow at noon. ”

"That's okay, then we'll give the money to the boss now."

Luo Gongzi, they are also happy to pay the bills.

Su Xiaomu and the others opened the store on the first day, and they were so busy that they didn't even have a place to get their feet wet.

All the food in the store was sold out, all the white flour and meat were consumed, and even the egg basket was only the straw at the bottom.

After sending off the last guest, Su Xiaomu and the others had time to sit down and drink cold water.

She looked apologetically at the children who had been busy with them all day.

"I wanted to make you something to eat, but now there is nothing in the store except water, and if you want to eat something delicious, you can only wait to go home."

"It's okay, Aunt San, the business in the store is good, we are all happy when we see it."

Gu Ruochen took a small sip of water in a milky voice.

His big eyes looked at Su Xiaomu attentively, such a soft and cute appearance made Su Xiaomu feel that the fatigue around him was a lot less.

She smiled and pinched Gu Ruochen's cheeks and said, "It's good to be happy, our family Ruochen is really a cute child." ”

They rested for a while.

Su Xiaomu asked the Yin family to take Gu Ruotong to get the pig's head meat, their business is good today, and they can't be far from tomorrow.

Therefore, I am afraid that one pig's head is not enough, and I have to buy some other meat to put on it.

As for why Su Xiaomu didn't go?

It's not because Chen is here, she has other things to talk to her about.

"Second sister-in-law, looking at the egg situation in our shop, I'm afraid that our chickens are not enough, and I said before that you would help collect them in the village, which is a drop in the bucket.

Why don't you go back and discuss with your mother's house later, and we will all buy eggs from your mother's house in the future. ”

Chapter 49: Clever Ruotong

Chen didn't expect that Su Xiaomu would think about taking her maiden family with her in this business.

She really worked in this shop for a day today, whether she made money or not, and she knew how much money she earned.

For the daily consumption of this shop, she really has to buy eggs from her mother's family.

But...... Why didn't the three families go to the village chief's daughter-in-law to collect it?

After all, their family used to go to the village chief's daughter-in-law to buy eggs.

"Xiaomu, of course I'm happy that you are willing to take my mother's family to make money together, but don't blame the second sister-in-law for being talkative, before this our family collected eggs from the village chief's daughter-in-law."

Chen didn't ask this clearly, she was a little uncomfortable in her heart, she was straight, and she wanted to ask clearly when she encountered something unclear.

"Of course the village chief's daughter-in-law is good, but after all, it is the village chief's house, and the people in the village are also mixed with tongues.

The second sister-in-law doesn't want to be caught every time she goes to collect eggs and asks about our family's business. ”

"That's true, then I'll go back and talk to my eldest brother later."

Chen thinks that this is indeed the truth, if their family wants to make money, of course, they have to earn it behind closed doors.

Su Xiaomu and Chen waited in the shop for the Yin family and they came back, and then packed up their things and went home.

Because he was too hungry after a tiring day, Su Xiaomu bought a cake on the road and put it on first.

After returning home, Yin was busy cooking in the kitchen, while Su Xiaomu went back to the room to count the money.

Gu Ruotong came in to bring her water, don't keep standing next to her and watching her settle accounts.

The little girl's big eyes were full of curiosity about the ledger, and Su Xiaomu couldn't help but laugh when she found out.

"Do you understand?"

She glanced at Gu Ruotong gently, and then leaned slightly to reveal most of the account book to her.

"If you don't understand something, just ask me, and the third aunt will explain to you patiently."

"I'm afraid...... I'm afraid I'll trouble the third aunt. ”

Although Gu Ruotong is already very familiar with Su Xiaomu, she is a shy person in the end.

Before Su Xiaomu came, there were only two people who could talk casually, her mother and sister.

So even if she wanted it very much at the moment, her first reaction was still to reject Su Xiaomu's kindness.

But Su Xiaomu is not an outsider, she has always been very patient with these children of the Gu family.

Especially Gu Ruotong, she will prefer some.

So she pulled Gu Ruotong to sit beside her, opened the account book, and explained to her word by word, symbol by stroke.

She was afraid of scaring this girl, so she also intimately slowed down her speech and slowed down her voice.

"Actually, it's very simple to look at the ledger, for example, this word can represent ......"

"Remember?

Although our family's business is not big now, and we can't make much money in a day, as long as we come out to do business, we need to record it when there are incoming and outgoing. ”

"It's like the third aunt just took you to calculate it, and you told the third aunt, how much money did we earn today?"

Su Xiaomu looked at Gu Ruotong with a guiding gaze, her eyes full of encouragement.

"Earned...... 2205 copper plates......"

Gu Ruotong read out the words on the account book embarrassedly.

Her shy little face was flushed, Su Xiaomu raised her eyes and saw that her cheeks were dyed with a cloud, and the delicate face lined with it was particularly beautiful.

"That's right, you're right, look, the third aunt said that settling accounts is very simple.

In the future, you will follow the third aunt into the city every day, and be responsible for collecting money from the guests in the shop.

Practice makes perfect, and only when you really touch the account will you have a deeper understanding of the account. ”

Su Xiaomu is very optimistic about Gu Ruotong, she actually doesn't want her to become a child who will only follow Chen's embroidery in the future.

A person, no matter what kind of era or what kind of background he is in, must know a little bit of his own ability.

Although the embroidery is very good, it meets the requirements of women in this context.

But in the end, it is only small, and it can neither earn much money nor realize much personal value.

"But I'm afraid...... I'm afraid that I can't do this well, and if I miscalculate the money I gave to the guests, it will affect the third aunt's business. ”

Gu Ruotong didn't think she had such a ability, she couldn't even learn embroidery from her second aunt, let alone go to the shop to manage the accounts.

"Ruotong, Ruotong, you are obviously a little girl, why did you learn so many bad virtues from adults?

There are many things to be afraid of, but there are many more things to challenge.

It's like if you haven't done anything now, but you only know that you can't do well with your third aunt, which is the worst. ”

She looked at Gu Ruotong seriously, looked into her eyes, and said very firmly: "As human beings, it is very difficult to find something that interests us and likes."

You're still young, so if you do, you have to do it. ”

"Before things are really done, anything that can't be said is unacceptable.

You are so smart, the third aunt believes that you understand what the third aunt means. ”

"That'...... Then I'...... In the future, I will listen to the third aunt and go to the shop to help. ”

The little girl clenched her pink fists nervously, and the red mist on her face became more and more intense.

After saying words of encouragement to her, Su Xiaomu thought that he should also tell Li about the situation in the shop today.

So she took the money she earned today to find the Li family and asked Gu Ruotong to go to the kitchen to help her mother cook.

"Mother, daughter-in-law has two good news to tell you today, which one do you plan to hear first?"

Su Xiaomu figured out which one the Li family liked her the most.

So as soon as I entered her house, I looked like a coquettish person.

Li had already heard the movement she made when she came in, she put down the work in her hand, and just when she wanted to tell her not to sell Guan Zi and say it directly, she saw the money bag she was holding in her hand.

Oh my God, how much money is in this money bag?

It looks so heavy.

Didn't you have a few taels of silver?

"Which one is better to say which one is better first, come and sit quickly, so far away from my mother, what do you want to sell?"

Li beckoned Su Xiaomu to sit on the kang.

She took the money bag in her hand and flipped it, guessing just now, she couldn't believe it at all.

"You made so much money on the first day you opened today?"

Li Shi looked at Su Xiaomu with surprise on her face, she put down the money bag and pulled Su Xiaomu's hand and couldn't stop saying.

"My mother said that you are the lucky star of our Gu family, and our Gu family can marry such a good daughter-in-law as you, it is really good luck."

"What did my mother say, it's the daughter-in-law's luck to meet such a good mother-in-law as you, otherwise no matter how many ways the daughter-in-law has to make money, there is no place to make it."

Of course, Su Xiaomu would not follow Li's words.

She thinks she's a lucky star, that's her business.

But if she doesn't know how to climb up the pole, then she shouldn't be.

"What a sensible girl, my mother is now satisfied with everything for you.

The only other hope is that I want to wait for the third child to come back, and you and him can quickly give birth to a big fat grandson for your mother, so that our Gu family will be complete. ”

Li's gaze turned to Su Xiaomu's stomach again, she was really a pity at this moment.

This third daughter-in-law is still a little too thin, and there is not much meat on her body, so it is inconvenient for her to conceive a child in the future, maybe she will have to suffer a lot.
