"Why did you come back together?"

The patriarch glanced at the Zhou clan with a calm face, turned his head to look at Bai Yu and asked.

Zhou was standing next to Bai Yu, and when he heard the patriarch's voice, he couldn't help but shudder, and subconsciously hid to the side.

Originally, the patriarch thought in his heart that maybe the two of them had something to do and walked together, but after seeing Zhou's action, his heart suddenly sank into his stomach, and his face became darker and darker.

Seeing this, Bai Yu couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and he was not afraid that Zhou would run away, so he let go of the hand holding Zhou, and turned his head to look at the ox cart that was still parked outside.

"I'm afraid I'm going to trouble the patriarch to help me move it. ”

Saying that, he didn't say why he wanted to move, he went directly to move the things on the ox cart, and Widow Zhang also moved it when she saw this, and Bai Yu moved the things down, and she didn't put them indiscriminately, and directly moved them to the patriarch's yard.

Seeing this, Widow Zhang hesitated, but also moved in with Bai Yu.

The patriarch was still confused at the moment and didn't know what to do, but looking at Bai Yu's movements, he couldn't stop beating the drum in his heart, and seeing that there were no more things, he also went up and moved some and put them in the yard.

"Little widow, what are you doing here, why are there so many dishes and chopsticks?"

Although his heart was bulging, the patriarch finally couldn't help but ask.

When Bai Yu heard this, he turned his head to look at Zhou and said with a smile: "You have to ask your aunt, how much you hate me, I went out to set up a noodle stall to make some money, and my aunt came to lift my stall without saying a word, what does this mean, isn't it, there is no one in our family who is bullying." ”

Bai Yu's voice was very calm, and she couldn't hear her anger before, as if she was not talking about her noodle stall being lifted, but whether the weather was good today.

But it was such a calm voice, but the hearts of the patriarch and the Zhou family who listened to it were chilled.

"You're fart, you're going to sell noodles? I think you're going to hook up with men. ”

Zhou was anxious when he heard Bai Yu say this, anyway, now that he has returned to the village, he can't let her go to the yamen, what is she afraid of, when she opens her mouth, Bai Yu is going to hook up with a man.

"Hehe......"

"Auntie, I haven't talked to you right now, and besides, I'm not talking about whether I'm going to sell noodles or hook up with men. ”

Bai Yu is too lazy to deal with the Zhou family now, and she doesn't want to talk to her more.

When Zhou said this, he originally wanted to blame Bai Yu for today's matter, but he didn't want Bai Yu to say this, and his face suddenly became difficult to look at.

"You're embarrassed to say that you're a widow and hooking up with men outside, you can't lose the face of our Sanpai Village. ”

"Shut up!"

As soon as Zhou's words were finished, the patriarch's voice rang out, only to hear him shout, Zhou's shuddered, and he was still menacing, and he suddenly didn't dare to speak.

What kind of person the Zhou family is, the patriarch is very clear, looking at her now, she knows that she has smashed these things in the courtyard, and suddenly she only feels that her heart is terrible, but she still has to smile at Bai Yu.

"Little widow, you see that your aunt is also dizzy, when your uncle comes back, I will definitely let her teach her a lesson. ”

As soon as the patriarch's words were finished, Bai Yu suddenly became angry, so many things, just forget it if you are dizzy with a fluttering sentence? This is really a good calculation.

"Lesson or not, I can't care about this, it's just these broken things, the patriarch is not me who cares about friendship, these things are not mine alone, this stall is opened by me and Aunt Zhang, if it is my own, I will forget it, the key is that it is not mine alone." ”

Saying that, Bai Yu paused: "Linyuan's homework is good, and I will take the exam in the future, if I win, I will have to take the exam, nothing can be costed, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are all precious things, I also want to set up a noodle stall to earn some silver for Linyuan to study, after my aunt made such a fuss, everyone in the town knows that I am a widow, and I am unlucky to make things." ”

"The business can't be done, even the guy who does business has smashed everything, and I haven't got my money back. ”

As she spoke, Bai Yu's bright almond eyes were suddenly filled with tears, and when Widow Zhang on the side saw this, she immediately handed Bai Yu a handkerchief.

"Yu'er, don't worry, the patriarch will always give you justice. ”

Before Bai Yu's words were finished, the patriarch's face was like a palette, yellow to green, green to green, and when she finished speaking, she was thinking about asking the Zhou family to apologize, but there were a lot of broken bowls, I don't know how much it would cost, and I was about to speak, but the cold Widow Zhang came to say this, and suddenly, the whole person was not good.

If Zhou apologized, he couldn't say anything.

After a long time, the patriarch forced a smile and said: "No, don't cry, I will definitely give you an explanation." ”

As he spoke, the patriarch looked at the basket of broken bowls and took a hard breath.

"How much do these things cost?"

Hearing this, Bai Yu raised his head: "These bowls are all newly bought and only used for a day, are they depreciated or new?"

"Oh, Yu'er, you are really small-bellied, what kind of person is the patriarch, your family is in trouble now, it has only been a day, you can't depreciate it." ”

As soon as Widow Zhang said this, Bai Yu had already laughed in her heart, and couldn't help but praise her ability to assist, with this sentence, the patriarch has always been embarrassed to depreciate her.

Sure enough, after the patriarch stopped the widow's words, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, his face became darker and darker, and he couldn't say anything that originally made Bai Yu cheaper, and he wanted to cry for a long time and pulled the corners of his mouth without tears.

"Look at what you said, you are a widow, and it is not easy for Lin Yuan to study, how can you be depreciated. ”

"How much do these bowls cost. ”

Hearing this, Bai Yu walked to the basket in a few steps and counted the remaining bowls.

"There are eight left, I bought a total of thirty-five, this bowl is burned, two cents each, a total of twenty-eight wen. ”

As soon as Bai Yu's words were finished, the patriarch couldn't help but gasp, a bunch of broken bowls, twenty-eight wen.

"Are you slandering people, this broken bowl costs twenty-eight yuan? What kind of bowl costs two yuan a piece, and two dollars a penny bowl is everywhere in the town, little slut, you are afraid that you want to go crazy for money." ”

When Zhou heard that she wanted fifty wen, her whole body exploded, because she knew that if she paid for the fifty-six wen, she would have to be beaten to death, so thinking like this, she opened her mouth and scolded.

The patriarch on the side saw the Zhou family cursing, but he didn't stop it.

Seeing this, Bai Yu smiled coldly, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

"My pile of broken bowls?"

"Don't you know why it's a broken bowl, aunt? ”

Saying that, Bai Yu didn't give her a chance to speak, and continued: "If you think it's too expensive, you can take the unbroken bowl to the shop in the town that sells bowls and ask." Is it two pennies a piece? ”

As he spoke, he didn't look at the Zhou family, but set his eyes on the patriarch: "The patriarch often goes to the town, so he should know that this bowl is not cheap." ”

Being asked by Bai Yu like this, the patriarch couldn't get off the stage, pulled the corners of his mouth, and glanced at Zhou fiercely.

"Fifty-six Wen, you wait, I'll get you the money. ”

While he was speaking, the patriarch went into the house, and in a short time came out, with a copper coin in his hand that had been threaded with thread.

Bai Yu looked almost half-penetrated, didn't count the copper coins, picked up the bowl that hadn't been broken and turned away.

As soon as Bai Yu walked on his front foot, the courtyard behind him remembered Zhou's wail.

In this regard, Bai Yu and Widow Zhang glanced at each other, and no one felt pity for Zhou.

As soon as he returned home, Bai Yu counted the money he had sold in the past two days and the money lost by the patriarch before, and finally gave half of it to Widow Zhang.

"Yu'er, what are you doing here?"

Widow Zhang looked at the money handed over by Bai Yu and stood up from the stool.

"Auntie, you have also seen the situation today, I'm afraid our noodle stall will not be opened, this is the money from selling noodles in the past few days. ”

Originally, she still thought that she would take Widow Zhang to earn money together, but now it's okay, this business can't be done, thinking of this, Bai Yu's heart is also very depressed.

When Widow Zhang heard this, she hurriedly shook her head: "Say that you will buy materials together for five or five points, I haven't paid any money for the materials in the past two days, what are you giving me money for, this business can't be done, and your family will have to use money in the future." ”

As he spoke, he pushed Bai Yu's outstretched hand.

Seeing this, Bai Yu suddenly took out another twenty texts.

"Twenty pieces of material money are completely enough, you should take these. ”

Widow Zhang still doesn't understand where she is, saying that she is buying materials together, but the craftsmanship and seasoning of making noodles are all made of white jade, which is obviously Bai Yu wants to take her to make money.

If the noodle stall is still running, it doesn't matter, now the noodle stall can't be done, where will she ask for this money.

Seeing this, Bai Yu suddenly looked at Widow Zhang with a calm face: "Aunt Zhang, is this looking down on me?"

"Why, I mean Lin Yuan still costs money. "Widow Zhang was in a hurry.

"Auntie, don't worry, I can make noodles and other things, there is always a way to make money. ”

As he spoke, he stuffed the copper coin into Widow Zhang's hand.

Immediately took out the purse that Mrs. Zhang rewarded, which was a piece of silver, Bai Yu's cognition of money was still on the copper coin, looking at the silver in the purse, I didn't know how much.

Confused, he took out the silver: "Auntie, how much silver is this?"

Widow Zhang was collecting copper coins, and when she heard Bai Yu's voice and looked up, she saw Bai Yu holding a piece of silver in her hand, and she was immediately blinded.

In his eyes, he couldn't see anything, he could only see the white piece of silver, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.

"Jade, Yu'er, this, where did this come from?"

Widow Zhang stammered and asked.

"The old lady over there in Zhang's mansion rewarded me, how many taels is this? . ”

"Five taels. ”

Widow Zhang swallowed and said.

Five taels, she has never seen so much silver in her life, five taels of silver, she has married a daughter-in-law, and many families can save five taels of silver for several years.

Bai Yu, who was still a little unhappy because of the Wang family, was immediately happy after hearing Widow Zhang's words, and her unhappy heart was also a lot more comfortable, and she stuffed a few pieces of money that she had left by her side into Widow Zhang's arms.

"Auntie, take it, I have so many here. ”

Widow Zhang's face changed when she saw this, and she returned the extra copper coins to Bai Yu's hand, and ran out of the door without saying a word.

In this regard, Bai Yu shrugged helplessly and went back to the house.

Ji Linyuan's ears have been a little busy in the past two days, since she brought the food cooked by her sister-in-law to the academy, Zhang Ziheng and the students in the dormitory have always been talking in his ear, nothing more than how delicious the food cooked by her sister-in-law is, let him go back and bring some more.

Especially Zhang Ziheng, it has reached the point where he doesn't want to eat.

At noon that day, Zhang Ziheng was in the cafeteria of the academy, looking at the food in the bowl, either the clear soup was too watery, or it was too greasy, and it had no taste at all, and it was not as delicious as the tea cakes made by his sister-in-law.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ziheng lost any appetite at all.

"Eh, Xue Hanyu, you've eaten the food cooked by your sister-in-law, and you're eating this, so you have to eat?"

Zhang Ziheng looked at the food in the bowl with a disgusted face, and the whole person was a little loveless.

When Xue Hanyu heard this, he paused, because he felt that the food in his mouth had no taste, but he still ate it without wasting it: "You should be compared to a rich boy like you, sister-in-law's food is delicious, but the food in the academy is already very good, there is meat and rice at every meal." ”

As he spoke, Xue Hanyu's voice became slightly low: "How many people can't even afford to eat a steamed bun now, let alone eat." ”

Ji Linyuan, who was on the side, bowed his head when he heard this: "No, hurry up and eat yours, wait for me to go back on my next vacation, see if my sister-in-law is free, bring some." ”

Zhang Ziheng, who was still angry, heard Ji Linyuan's words, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Sister-in-law must be free, you have to bring some when the time comes." ”

As he spoke, he immediately thought that there would be half a month left for the academy to rest, and suddenly the whole person was relieved.

Ji Linyuan was eating, and after hearing Zhang Ziheng's words, he hooked his lips, lowered his eyes, and said, "That's not necessarily, sister-in-law is very busy now." ”

"What are you busy with?" Zhang Ziheng was stunned.

"Well, my sister-in-law has opened a noodle stall, and business is doing well. ”

Zhang Ziheng's eyes suddenly lit up: "Why don't you let your sister-in-law go to the county seat to open it." If his sister-in-law is in the county seat, then he can eat the food cooked by his sister-in-law every day, and when he thinks of this, Zhang Ziheng feels that his saliva is going to flow out.

"My sister-in-law is afraid that the business in the county will not be good. ”

What? What the hell, such a delicious thing is not going to do business? It's a joke for him.

After thinking about it, he patted his chest: "Don't worry, let my sister-in-law come, I will ensure that the business is easy to do, and if I can't sell it out, I will eat it all." ”

Xue Hanyu, who was listening on the side, almost didn't squirt out the rice in his mouth when he heard the words: "I said what do you want to say, you eat it all, and you are not afraid of eating it as a pig, this is about to be the New Year." ”

"Go and go, for my sister-in-law's meal, I'm happy to eat pigs. ”

A few people, you said it one by one.

However, he said that Bai Yu had not gone to the intersection to sell noodles since he was smashed by Zhou's stall, and after nesting at home for several days, he finally decided to make ramen noodles and sell raw noodles directly.

Just do it, there is still a lot of flour left at home, Bai Yu and about four catties of flour, when you wake up, you start to ramen, after pulling it is done, sprinkle flour to prevent it from sticking together, and when it is done, you will carry the ramen to the town.

In the winter, sitting on the ox cart looks good, but in fact, the cold is not good, anyway, if you don't hurry, Bai Yu didn't take the ox cart, and walked all the way to the town, originally when I walked from home, there was still electric cooling, all the way to the town, it was already noon, and the whole person was hot.

After taking a breath at the city gate, Bai Yu carried the basket on his back and went to the Yangchun noodle shop in the town.

Xia Er, who sells Yangchun noodles, has been very worried recently, originally he was the only one in the town who sold noodles, and the business was not bad, but there was a little widow who sold ramen in the back town, and there was no business in his shop, and the little widow did not come, and the business was good for two days, but in the end it faded again.

What did the guests who came to eat noodles say, Yangchun noodles were not delicious, they didn't taste strong, the soup was not fresh, and the taste was not good.

On this day, he sat on the stool in the store with a sad face, watching the people coming and going, many of them were familiar faces, but they didn't come to his store, and he was in a hurry, but there was no way.

"Boss, do you want ramen here?"

Bai Yu carried the basket on his back, stood in front of the noodle restaurant that no one cared about, looked at Xia Er, and asked crisply.

Xia Er was annoyed, and when he heard someone ask him if he wanted noodles, he waved his hand impatiently: "Don't, don't you see that I'm a noodle restaurant here......?"

"Wait, what are you talking about?"

Xia Er didn't finish his words, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Bai Yu and asked.

"Ramen, just boil the noodles, do you want them?"

Seeing this, Bai Yu repeated.

Xia Er looked at the little lady in front of him, combing the woman's hair in a bun, with a white silk on her head, and her mind flashed, the ramen seller was a little widow, and there was a widow here who came to sell ramen, and immediately stood up from the stool.

"Do you want to sell pulled noodles?" Xia Er thought he had misheard.

"Yes, do you want it?" Bai Yu nodded when he heard this, and as he spoke, he put down the back basket and put it in front of Xia Er.

"Sixteen pounds a pound, here are five pounds. ”

Xia Er has been guarding the noodle stall, only to hear the people who came to eat noodles say that the ramen is thin and chewy, but he has never seen it, seeing the ramen that Bai Yu put in front of him, he bent down and took one up, and saw that the noodles were about the same thickness as twine, and he believed in his heart, there are really such thin noodles in this world.

looked at the noodles in the white jade back basket, pondered for a while, and didn't say anything.

"I want this ramen. ”

As he spoke, he counted eighty words from his body and handed it to Bai Yu.

"Boss, if you want noodles to sell, you can come to Sanpai Village to find me, the first family in Sanpai Village is my family. ”

Before leaving, Bai Yu said to Xia Er and went home.

Originally, Bai Yu still thought that Xia Er was afraid that he would have to wait for two days to come, but he didn't want to come the next day.

"Little lady, I found you, I'm here to buy noodles. ”

As soon as Xia Eryi saw Bai Yu, he said that he wanted to buy noodles, he originally wanted to try his luck to see if he could attract some business back from selling this ramen, which Cheng wanted business to be so good. But the noodles were sold out in half a day, he thought about it at home, and finally calculated, buy ramen and go back to sell, and buy flour to roll out and sell, the income is about the same, since it is almost the same, it is better to buy ramen and sell it back, not to mention the business, he can still rest, and he found Sanpai Village after thinking about it.

"The boss came in and sat down. Bai Yu beckoned people in, went next door and found Widow Zhang to come over and busy in the kitchen.

This time, Xia Er asked for eight catties of noodles, and Bai Yu pulled the noodles for a long time, and Widow Zhang helped on the side, and it was almost noon.

Sending Xia Er away, Widow Zhang looked at Bai Yu incredulously.

"Yu'er, you are, your brain is really bright, if you don't sell noodles, you sell raw noodles. ”

When Bai Yu heard this, he bowed his head: "I said that I can make money, you have to believe me, I will make more money in the future." ”

Looking at Bai Yu's palm-sized face, she was not as tall as her waist, but she couldn't help but believe what she said.

Recently, Bai Yu's business is very good, Xia Er almost every other day to buy noodles, at the end of October, Bai Yu is selling raw noodles are sold for more than one or two silver, plus the old lady Zhang before, there are already five or six taels of silver at home, looking at the heavy rain outside, the roof of the house with light rain, in her memory, it will snow every winter, and it has not snowed this winter, if it rains, I am afraid that this house will not be of much use.

Thinking like this, Bai Yu pondered whether to build a house first.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a low knock on the door outside, and Bai Yu stood up with a sigh and trotted to open the door.

"Sister-in-law, I'm back. ”

As soon as Bai Yu opened the door, he saw Ji Linyuan standing upright at the door, with a shallow smile in his eyes.

"I knew it was you back. "Ji Linyuan's knock on the door has a characteristic, it is low, as if with a hint of rhythm, Bai Yu knows that Ji Linyuan is back as soon as he hears it.

While talking, without saying a word, he took Ji Linyuan's hand and walked into the house, Ji Linyuan, who was still smiling indifferently, was pulled like this, and suddenly the whole person stiffened, and the roots of his ears were slightly red, I haven't seen her for a month, and my sister-in-law has not changed at all.

After thinking about it, Bai Yu had already pulled Ji Linyuan into the room and took out the money he earned this month.

"You see, we've got money. ”

Saying that, looking at Ji Linyuan with a look of whether I can do it or not, Ji Linyuan saw this, and said very respectfully: "Sister-in-law is really amazing." ”

No, Bai Yu raised his chin.

Having said that, Ji Linyuan felt very uncomfortable when he watched Bai Yu take out so much money at once, how tired his sister-in-law had to be to earn so much money.

While thinking about it, Bai Yu's voice sounded.

"Linyuan, let's build a house, it hasn't snowed this winter, and I'm afraid that the roof of the house can't withstand the snow, so let's just build a new house." ”

Bai Yu has been dissatisfied with the dilapidated house at home for a long time, it rains outside and leaks inside, and I am afraid that it can be overturned if the wind is strong, how unsafe it is, now that I have money, of course I will change it to a new one.

"Sister-in-law, you and I should go to the county seat. ”

As soon as Bai Yu's words were finished, Ji Linyuan frowned and thought for a while before speaking.

County?

Bai Yu was puzzled: "What are you going to do in the county seat?" She has just found the feeling of starting a business now, this ramen is selling just right, and she still hasn't reacted a little bit if she asks her to go to the county seat.

Looking at Bai Yu's dazed look, Ji Linyuan pursed his lips and glanced at the dilapidated house: "I really don't feel at ease when my sister-in-law is at home alone, my sister-in-law wants to do business, go to the county seat to do it, and the business in the county will be better." ”

Saying that, he gave the food to Zhang Ziheng and told them, most of the people in the dormitory are from the county seat, and they often go out to eat every month, and they are full of praise for the sister-in-law's food, if the sister-in-law is doing business in the county, the business will definitely not be bad.

There are many people in the village, especially some mothers-in-law with broken mouths, and he is afraid that some gossip will come out, and his sister-in-law can't stand it alone.

Thinking that Bai Yu had been hanged once before, Ji Linyuan's heart was pinched, and he really couldn't bear to watch his sister-in-law being too tired alone, if he was in the county seat, he could still help.

Originally, Bai Yu heard Ji Linyuan say that he had distributed the food to his classmates, and he thought that he was afraid that he hadn't eaten much, and he didn't know how he had eaten in the academy this month, and he would cook something delicious to treat him at night.

After he finished speaking, thinking of what he said before to let her go to the county seat, her eyes suddenly lit up, but then she seemed to think of something, which darkened her originally bright eyes.
