Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Fiery Business

After the eldest daughter-in-law said this, she no longer paid attention to Mother Xue and began to shout, "Sell noodles and cakes, delicious noodles, and give a bowl of egg soup for a pastry." ”

The eldest daughter-in-law shouted vigorously, but Xue's mother panicked for a while.

It's getting late now, and when I get to the stall again, it's time to make tea.

She sighed in her heart, I'm afraid that today's cakes won't be sold.

Near Xue's mother's stall on weekdays, Wang Xiaoer, a servant of the Li family, was waiting anxiously.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

"You won't be selling it today, will you?"

"If I don't come, how can I go back?"

Wang Xiaoer was so anxious that he turned back and forth on the ground.

Yesterday, when he returned to the Li Mansion, everything was not as he expected, and when the little ancestor saw him, he was scolded for splitting his head and covering his face.

said that if he couldn't find a good cook, he would beat thirty boards and throw them out of the Li Mansion, and don't even think about working in the Li Mansion in the future.

He didn't dare to have the slightest doubt about the little ancestor's words, because there had been such an unlucky guy who had a similar encounter before.

The little ancestor wanted to eat stewed tofu and asked him to find a cook.

The cook was found, but the dishes he made did not match the appetite of the little ancestor.

The little ancestor had him hang up and whip him thirty times, and then he threw him out of the Li Mansion.

Even the cook was subjected to unwarranted plague and ten lashes.

The little ancestor's ferocious and domineering is notorious, someone has complained to Li Jushi, and Li Jushi has also disciplined him, but he is old and has a daughter, how can he be willing to really start, plus Li Jushi is often not at home, so the little ancestor has suffered a few losses and learned to be obedient.

Li Jushi was extremely well-behaved in the few days when she was at home, and as soon as Li Jushi left, she was completely exposed, and she became the soil emperor of Li Mansion again, and she made those complaints extremely miserable.

Pepper water is poured into the nostrils, and a salt-dipped leather whip is whipped, these are all light.

Until now, no one in the entire Li Mansion is afraid of this little ancestor.

With apprehension, after being scolded by the little ancestor, he smiled all over his face and handed the hot bowl of soup to the little ancestor.

He watched the little ancestor drinking the soup, staring at the change in the little ancestor's expression, and his heart rose to his throat.

Seeing that the little ancestor tasted it first, he nodded, his heart was slightly relieved, but it was still hanging.

It wasn't until the little ancestor raised his neck, drank a bowl of soup cleanly, and then said, "Bring me another bowl", Wang Xiaoer's hanging heart was put down, and he knew that this time, he had survived.

He said with a smile on his face, "Miss, the soup is only sold in the morning, this will, I'm afraid it will be gone." ”

The little ancestor glared at him, "I don't care, I just want to drink this soup." ”

Wang Xiaoer had no choice but to run back to buy soup, and Xue's mother and Xue's father had already left with Dumb, Wang Xiaoer pounced and went back empty-handed.

As a result, he was reprimanded by the little ancestor, and told him that if he couldn't drink the soup tomorrow, he would wait to be whipped fifty times, and then thrown out of the Li Mansion.

So Wang Xiaoer went to the stall early and waited, not daring to leave a step, but he saw that the sun was rising, and there was no one to see.

Wang Xiaoer was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, if he couldn't buy soup today, he would be miserable this time.

Wang Xiaoer stomped back and forth anxiously, and finally, after the tea, the sound of the crunching old ox cart turning came.

Wang Xiaoer looked up, his face was overjoyed, "It's coming, it's coming, it's finally here." ”

In a blink of an eye, the ox cart arrived in front of them, and Xue's mother and Xue's father began to lift the soup and bread down.

"I said, lady, do you have such a business? What time is it before you come out to do business. ”

Wang Xiaoer opened his mouth to reprimand, venting his dissatisfaction in his heart.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I'm a little delayed today. ”

"Didn't I say that you should do business, especially a small business, then you must be diligent and conscientious, you are one day earlier and one day later, can you do a good job in business?"

"What the guest said was that there was indeed a delay today. ”

"Alright, alright, hurry up and fill this bucket for me with soup. With that, Wang Xiaoer handed a wooden barrel to Xue Mu.

Xue Mu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled a little embarrassedly, "This guest officer, the soup was delivered." ”

"I don't know what to deliver? It's a bit of a stretch to fill the bucket and bring me the bread. ”

"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute. Being yelled at like this, although Xue Mu's heart was full of anger, she still had a smiling face.

To do business, you have to endure it, and if you are angry with the guests, the business will not be done.

Xue Mu carried a bucket and scooped soup bowl by bowl.

Fifteen bowls of soup were scooped, the bucket was filled, and then thirty more breads were filled.

Wang Xiaoer threw fifteen spirit coins on the table, then carefully took the soup bucket and closed the lid.

Then Xue Mu saw Wang Xiaoer take out a larger bucket and carefully put the soup bucket into the big bucket, the action was extremely gentle and careful, as if the soup bucket was the most precious and fragile thing in time.

After that, Wang Xiaoer grabbed the dough cake and wrapped it in a cloth indiscriminately.

Carefully carrying the bucket in his right hand, he dragged the cloth bag on his shoulder in his left hand, and left whistling.

Xue Mu looked at the back of Wang Xiaoer leaving, and her brows furrowed even higher.

"you, what's wrong?"

Mother Xue looked at Father Xue, frowned and asked, "Daddy, are the cakes I made really delicious?"

Father Xue smiled, "How can it not be delicious, just look at our business, as soon as we arrived here, we sold thirty dough cakes." ”

"But why do I think that person has always come for the soup? ”

"Did you see it just now, when he took the soup, he was careful and gentle, for fear of breaking it, but when he took my cakes, he just messed up a bunch. ”

Father Xue also frowned, and then smiled, "Don't think about it, the dough cake is the staple food, and the soup is just rotten shrimp and a little mountain mushroom, which is good and which is bad, who can't tell the difference, if you want me to say, the dough cake you make is the most delicious thing." ”

"Really?" Xue Mu was still frowning, obviously not believing Father Xue's words.

Although Xue Mu came a little late today, she sold thirty breads as soon as she opened, and now there are only one hundred and fifty left.

Xue Mu calculated, maybe it should be sold out today, even if it can't be sold, there shouldn't be much left.

Mother Xue also shouted, "Sell cakes, delicious noodles, two cakes give a bowl of soup, a soup full of umami." ”

Xue Mu shouted, and the passers-by smelled the umami and walked over, and after a while, a table was full of people.

A pedestrian walked over and smiled, "It's so fragrant, boss, come here with two dough cakes and a bowl of soup." ”

Xue Mu smiled, "Guest, there is no place to do it now, or you wait." ”

"Wait, a rough man, how can there be so many words, bring the cake soup, I will squat and eat and drink. ”

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll serve it to you. ”
