Don't blame her for being surprised, it's really too early now.
Although she didn't have a watch, she could still feel it. It was probably only a little after three o'clock.
And seeing the steaming hot water in the pot that was almost boiling was enough to confirm that Xiao Lin had been up for a while.
"Can't sleep."
Xiao Lin's tone was a little awkward, and he didn't know if it was because of the fire or some other reason, but his cheeks were a little red.
Su Yun blinked and burst into laughter.
"Okay, okay, then just be obedient and light the fire for me."
She walked over with a smile, washed her hands, took out the dough she had made last night, and started making steamed buns.
Because she thought that most of the customers she faced were young people, probably many were students. Therefore, Su Yun did not make ordinary steamed buns. She added some care to the shape of the steamed buns.
First, cut the large dough into equal portions.
According to Su Yun's plan, almost fifteen kilograms of flour was to be cut into three hundred small doughs. She had just divided the dough into long strips and before cutting them, Mrs. Xiao also got up to help.
Su Yun knew that they were all worried about her, but they just couldn't say it clearly.
She smiled and said hello to Mrs. Xiao, "Grandma, will you cut the dough? Can I make the steamed buns?"
Mrs. Xiao nodded, she naturally came to help when she got up. The junior was willing to ask her to help, which proved that she was still useful, so she was very happy.
"good."
The three of them divided the work and cooperated, and the small dough quickly changed into various shapes in Su Yun's hands. The originally ordinary dough quickly turned into various small animal shapes after being fiddled with by her rapidly reversing fingers.
Su Yun has very skillful hands and the small animals she pinches are very lifelike.
Speaking of which, it was thanks to Li Cuifen's partiality when she was a child. When she was young, Li Cuifen always took Su Ying with her whenever she went to the market or anywhere.
As a daughter, Su Yun has never enjoyed such treatment.
When she was a child, she had no way to earn work points in the fields. When her family of three was away from home, she was usually kept at home. Unable to go out, she could only play with mud and use it to shape various small animals.
While playing around, Su Yun actually developed a skill, that is, the small animals she pinched with her hands could almost look real.
Just like now, she pinched thirty little mice, and the little mice arranged neatly on the bamboo strips seemed to come to life.
"Xiaoyun..."
Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Lin couldn't help but sigh, isn't this hand too skillful?
And the speed was so fast that they didn't even see her steps clearly before she pinched out a vivid little mouse.
The sound of a wheelchair turning was heard outside the kitchen, and Ye Wan got up to help. When she saw the little mice in the pot, she exclaimed, "Where did so many mice come from?"
Su Yun was amused by Ye Wan's reaction.
"Mom, it's the steamed buns made by Xiaoyun."
Xiao Lin explained.
"Ah... steamed buns? How can they be shaped so much like mice?"
Knowing that it was steamed buns, Ye Wan's racing heart calmed down a little. She glanced at the neatly arranged little mice in the pot with curiosity and fear, and quickly looked away.
"Xiaoyun, isn't this mouse steamed bun a bit scary?"
Originally Xiaoyun proposed to do business, but Ye Wan was not very optimistic about it. If she made such a scary bun, would others walk away after seeing it?
Ye Wan was very worried.
Su Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, ma'am, it'll be fine."
She had been floating around for many years after her death in her previous life, so she had witnessed the changes in future generations with her own eyes. Therefore, she also knew that such gadgets could attract the attention of young people.
Xiao Lin pursed her lips and said, "Xiaoyun has her own reasons for doing this."
Mrs. Xiao also nodded, "Don't worry, Mrs. An. Such a lifelike little mouse will definitely be liked by many young children."
"It's not just mice."
Su Yun smiled mysteriously, then she sped up her movements and made thirty portrait steamed buns of the same size for each animal according to the order of the twelve zodiac signs.
Pot after pot of steamed buns came out. Looking at the rows of steamed buns that looked like fake ones, the Xiao family had no other thoughts except admiration.
The steamed buns were taken out of the pot and placed in a basket lined with banana leaves. Su Yun put a bamboo basket on the basket on her back and went out with Mrs. Xiao in the dark of night.
"Xiaoyun..."
Xiao Lin stopped her.
Su Yun turned around without a word, "What's wrong?"
The corners of Xiao Lin's lips moved, and finally he slowly shook his head.
"It's okay, please be safe on the road."
He actually wanted to say that it would be okay even if he couldn't sell out, as long as he came back safely. But seeing Su Yun's bright but confident eyes, he couldn't say such disappointing words.
Su Yun curled her lips, "Well, don't worry, just stay at home and look after the house! I will make more money and come back to buy meat for you to eat."
Xiao Lin's face turned red again.
Fortunately, it was dark and hard to see.
Mrs. Xiao glanced at her eldest grandson standing in the night, and silently despised him in her heart.
A grown man dare not say anything, hesitantly, and he is not afraid that the wife he got will run away? Mrs. Xiao shook her head helplessly. In short, she was very satisfied with this grandson's wife. If the eldest grandson doesn't live up to her expectations, she will go to her...
"Okay, let's go, Xiaoyun."
"Okay grandma."
An old man and a young man went out together.
Xiao Lin leaned on crutches and watched their figures disappear into the night.
He turned around and returned to the woodshed where he lived.
It's not that I go back to catch up on sleep, but that I go back to do crafts.
The lesbian at home went out to sell steamed buns in the middle of the night to treat his leg. How could he still sit still? He didn't sleep all night last night and stayed up all night to carve an oval wooden dressing box.
Although he does not have Su Yun's delicate mind and skillful hands, he is also very good at making furniture.
The dressing box on the table is not yet finished, but it is already very delicate to the naked eye.
He picked up the carving knife and continued working under the kerosene lamp.
………
The time now is around five o'clock in the morning, almost six o'clock at most, and you can barely see your footsteps when walking. The road is quiet, there is no one.
Su Yun and Mrs. Xiao both walked very fast. When the sky was clear enough to see people, they had already arrived at the county town.
Pedestrians began to come and go on the street.
Su Yun came to the target area that she was optimistic about yesterday, put down her backpack, took out a few small steamed buns of various shapes, put them in the basket and shouted.
"Steamed buns, delicious brown sugar steamed buns. It's fragrant and sweet. You can try it for free. If it's not sweet, you don't have to pay."
Originally, Mrs. Xiao was a little surprised when Su Yun yelled, but when she heard her say a free trial, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Xiaoyun...this..."
These are all good Fuqiang noodles. What if you don’t buy them if you try them?
Su Yun had a plan. She smiled and reassured the old lady not to worry. She took out a sea bowl from under the bamboo basket, and then used chopsticks to break the two steamed buns into thumb-sized pieces.
"Grandma, just let them eat the trial food here."
As soon as she finished speaking, a person came to the stall.
