First, Zhenqiao went to open the mother-in-law guarding the back door, and changed into a dress that Zhenqiao had brought from her mother-in-law, who was in charge, and the second miss and Ling Xiaorou carried two food boxes full of horseshoe cakes and ran to the street.

The second lady was confused when she stood on the street, this street was full of people, how could she sell water chestnut cakes?

Although Ling Xiaorou has set up a stall, she can't open her mouth to sell, but the horseshoe cake without opening her mouth is not as good as strings of incense that can attract diners just by taste, can she still take it back and eat it herself?

In the end, Ling Xiaorou mustered up her courage and whispered to the second miss: "Second miss, you see that your face is covered, and others can't see who you are, why don't you shout twice?" ”

The second lady's eyes turned red, and she glanced at her, "I can't shout, why don't you shout?" ”

Ling Xiaorou sighed, it seems that she can only shout by herself, otherwise she will really make the second lady cry, and it will definitely achieve a more sensational effect on the street than selling.

Ling Xiaorou held her breath and deliberately held back her voice, "Crystal cake, fresh and delicious crystal cake, opened for a big reward, and only sells for five cents a piece." ”

The second lady silently counted the horseshoe cakes they took out, and was very helpless to find that the chestnut cakes in the four food boxes could be sold for more than two taels of silver...... Removing the fifty text money, although it is very profitable, where did she go to get the five taels of silver that she promised Ling Xiao? Ling Xiaorou shouted a few times, and it really attracted people to come and see, through the open food box, the crystal cake placed inside really looked like it was made of crystal.

At that time, a teenager took ten cents to try it, took a piece of cherry jam and a piece of red beans, and took a bite of the sweet and sour cherry, and the sweetness of the red beans with the aroma of beans, all of which were very elastic and delicious.

It's just ten cents to eat two pieces of pastry, which is also a bit expensive, after all, this pastry is really small, and one piece is only half a finger square, and if you really want to eat enough, you can get more than 20 pieces.

The young man stood beside him and watched, Ling Xiaorou continued to shout, and after shouting the first voice, she felt that it was not too difficult to sell.

Because of Ling Xiaorou's shouting, some people looked here, when they saw the young man staring at the food box with a greedy face, they all felt that the crystal cake in the food box should be delicious, and some people came around, although it was a small piece of five cents that was more expensive, and those who were not bad enough to buy a piece to taste.

After tasting it, it was really good, and soon there were a lot of people around, and seeing that there were not many crystal cakes, they were about to sell out in a while, so they shouted: "Leave me five pieces." ”

They shouted, "I want ten dollars!" ”

Ling Xiaorou smiled at everyone while selling crystal cakes: "I opened on the first day today, I didn't expect it to sell so well, and I hope that all the uncles will also go to cheer after opening the shop in a few days." ”

Those who bought the crystal cake agreed again and again, but they opened the shop and would definitely go.

Soon, the horseshoe cakes in the four food boxes were sold out, and Ling Xiaorou said to Mo Hongjin, who was timid and envious on the side: "Second Miss, we should also go to the rented shop." ”

Although the silver in his hand is less than three taels, think about the courtyard he rented in Xincheng Mansion before, and want to rent a house by the street here, it should be enough to rent it for only one month, and then open a window or set up a stall in front of the door, so as not to be inconvenient to take things out of Mofu.

In the future, she can make food in the house, let the second miss take it to the door to sell, and after today, it is time for the second miss to know that she can't rely on others for everything, it's rare to be a young lady in charge, how can she not have this courage?

And at this time, in the eyes of Miss Mo Er, Ling Xiaorou's thin and thin image has also become tall, although more than two taels of silver is not much, but people only use that little bit of cost to earn more than two taels of silver, this still has to rent a house?

Thinking that there were only two people in the rented house, she and Ling Xiaorou, and Miss Mo Er's face under the face towel turned red instantly.

A team of officials passed by, and the leader took a portrait in his hand, and looked at the young women who were passing by or setting up stalls, and when he saw Miss Mo Er blocking her face, the leader waved his hand, and the whole team came around.

"This young lady, please take off the face towel from your face!"

Miss Mo Er's eyes widened in surprise, but the official was very polite, "We are tracking down the fugitives, and we ask Miss to cooperate with one or two." ”

Miss Mo Er also knew that she would definitely not be able to leave if she was not allowed to take a look, but fortunately, she was in the back house before, and there were not many men who had seen her, so she secretly showed a small face to the leader of the official errand.

Ling Xiaorou looked at the portrait with a deep neck, it was a bit similar to the dress she looked at last time, her face changed again, Ling Xiaorou couldn't help but laugh, so she rushed at this portrait, in this life, the second master of He Lou didn't want to find someone.

The leader looked at Mo Hongjin carefully at the portrait, and an official next to him said: "Boss, it is said that the person on the portrait is very beautiful, obviously it can't be this young lady." ”

Mo Hongjin's face was a little distorted, and her fists were clenched, if it weren't for Ling Xiaorou pulling her at the right time, maybe a punch would have hit this official who couldn't speak in the face.

Although Ling Xiaorou felt that she was a little more beautiful than Mo Hongjin, she couldn't say this directly in front of other girls, right? In fact, Mo Hongjin looks good, clear and delicate, although a pair of beautiful eyes are not big, when he doesn't talk or smile, he looks like a pool of clear water, and he looks weak, which is still very attractive.

When the team of officials walked away, Mo Hongjin looked at Ling Xiaorou with teary eyes, "Ling Xiao, do you think I look ugly than the person in the portrait?" ”

"How so? The second lady is much better than the one painted in the portrait. ”

Ling Xiaorou believed that if she dared to nod, Mo Hongjin would be flooded with gold in the next second, and although the portrait was probably painted by her, I don't know if it was because the level of the painter was limited, or because everyone was just painting so casually, and the painting was really not as good as Mo Hongjin. So, it's not like she's lying.

Mo Hongjin smiled when he heard this, and slapped Ling Xiaorou's shoulder, "Your mouth is so sweet!" ”

The small fist is called a gentle and lightweight, if a man is afraid that his bones will be crispy, but unfortunately Ling Xiaorou is an out-and-out girl, she really can't cry and laugh with this punch, and she can still be a little bit weak-hearted.

Walking around the street, Ling Xiaorou asked where the tooth man lived nearby, and asked him to help rent a house facing the street, three taels of silver a month, counting the intermediary for the tooth man, it cost a total of three taels and five, seeing that the second lady reluctantly took out another one or two silver from her purse and held it in her hand, how could she be reluctant to give it out, Ling Xiaorou finally snatched the one or two silver back from her hand, otherwise would it be difficult for her to pay for the rent?

The tooth man took the money and smiled at Ling Xiaorou: "Brother, look at your daughter-in-law, she will be able to live a good life." ”

Ling Xiaorou smiled wryly, and the second lady's eyes also smiled, and she no longer bothered with the three or five pieces of money for renting a house.

Ling Xiaorou and the second lady were also taken around the house by the tooth man before, but now they have to weigh how to clean it up after renting.

It was a house facing the street, with two rooms facing the street with a hall, and behind it was a patio paved with bluestone slabs, although it was not large enough.

In the middle of the patio, a well was also drilled, and a bluestone slab was covered on it, Ling Xiaorou and Mo Hongjin lifted the bluestone slab, and they saw that the well water inside was about one person higher than the ground, and there was a layer of dirt floating on the water surface.

Obviously, if you want to use it, you need to clean it up, but there is nothing left in this room except for an empty house and a few pieces of shabby furniture, and you have to prepare a lot of things to use it.

Ling Xiaorou took the second lady to the street to buy things to use, buckets for water, pots for eating, firewood, and all kinds of ingredients.

Ling Xiaorou bought it happily, the second lady took the silver very worriedly, and when the things were bought, she spent ten cents to let people help send the things back, the second miss calculated the account, and she didn't see much money, but she spent more than five taels of silver, I hope that when the business is done, I will be able to earn it back soon.

In the afternoon, the two of them cleaned up the room here, and the family naturally had Zhenqiao to help cover up, and lunch was just one dish and one soup anyway, and those helpers could also make it.

Ling Xiaorou is okay, she has lived alone for so long before, and she is not a problem with cleaning, but it is bitter for Mo Hongjin, who has grown up so big, except for worrying about silver, she really hasn't done any work, which makes her hold a rag and don't know where to wipe it, and standing in the middle of the house makes Ling Xiaorou feel very obstructed.

can only let her sit on the freshly wiped chair on the side, Mo Hongjin also knows that he is capable of this, it would be good not to add to the chaos, and sit there obediently to watch Ling Xiaorou clean up.

The two of them just do food and sell here, and they don't want to live here, they don't have to clean up the place where they live, as long as they vacate the place where the ingredients are placed, the most important thing to clean up is the kitchen, and the table that can't see the true color.

Ling Xiaorou first put the table in the patio, poured a bucket of water on it, first soaked it with water, and then dipped the brush in alkali, brushed hard, and the arm of the straight brush was sore, so that the table could be brushed out of its true color, and the red wood was not light, and it was a valuable thing at first glance.

When the house, kitchen, and table were cleaned, and the water in the well was cleaned, the water came out so clear and cool that you could feel the cool air that made the cold hairs stand up when you stretched out your hand at the mouth of the well.

When the horseshoe cake is sold again, it will be put in the well town first, and it will be delicious when it is eaten.

Of course, the house is rented, and she can't just sell water chestnut cakes, like some delicious and inconspicuous snacks can also be made and sold, otherwise she will give her five taels of silver every day, and I don't know if the second lady can earn it.

After Ling Xiaorou cleaned up, she saw that the second lady had fallen asleep on the broken bamboo bed, and she didn't know who was tired of it that day.

Ling Xiaorou called Mo Hongjin up and told her that it was not too early to go home, Mo Hongjin shook his head in a daze, "I don't want to go back, let's stay here tonight, start doing business early tomorrow, and make more money." ”

Ling Xiaorou was speechless, how desperate was the second miss to make money? But if she doesn't go back this night, she is dressed as a man again, and she is a man in the eyes of outsiders, and she is still under a lot of pressure to spend a night alone with the second lady.
