Lian Lian was a business person, enthusiastic and good at settling accounts, and her shouts were crisp and loud. When they were leaving, Chen Jinchu taught them to take out a few and cut them up for everyone to try; he also taught them "how much do you want to buy?"
"One for free", she also learned how to use it, and it was sold out in less than half a day.
She counted the copper coins and said with a smile: "I have collected the capital in this half day. It will be enough for the next two days of noodles, eggs, sugar, etc., and there is still a balance of more than ten copper coins. We will pay it back ourselves."
We ate a lot. If this continues, our family will become rich."
Zhao Qinghui smiled and said: "That's why Xingzhu is so powerful."
"Yes, Xingzhu is great! Xingzhu is good at everything! Second brother, don't think that I don't know what you have in mind." Lianlian said with a smile, she made money, Xingzhu made things that were popular, and she was in a very good mood.
Zhao Qinghui said: "Don't talk nonsense. It's okay to talk to me like this. Don't let Xingzhu know that you think everyone is as shy as you!"
In the following days, Chen Jinchu made cakes and bread every day, and also baked some biscuits, peanut cakes, egg yolk cakes, butterfly cakes and other snacks. He made several flavors and types of biscuits alone.
When Chen Jinchu thought that other people wearing books were all aristocratic ladies, even if they were dressed as a supporting actress, they would still hold the heroine's script, but she, a lawyer, was baking bread in this imaginary ancient times, and she was not a leisurely person.
It’s for sale!
In the past, she could go out and run a small business, get money quickly, and not be so tired; now, it's better, not only hiding here and there, but also having to work hard every day to exert her strength, these days...can you call God a bastard?
In order to transport things to the town for sale as quickly as possible, Zhao Qinghui also borrowed a neighbor's donkey to transport things two or three times a day. With the donkey cart as a means of transportation, the speed is much faster, and it is basically not a problem to go back and forth twice a day.
Chen Jinchu thought that after she saved some money, she would buy a horse, put the stove on the carriage, take it to the town, and bake it on site. Freshly baked bread and cakes would be more delicious. She also thought about making some fresh meat mooncakes.
Let’s study how to make egg tarts again.
By mid-December, every household in the village began to prepare for the New Year.
Mrs. Liu said: "Second son, after you finish selling this batch today, bring back some meat and rice. There are candied melon seeds and so on. Buy some too. We won't sell them tomorrow, and let Xingzhu rest for a few days. During this period,
I’m so busy that everyone has lost a lot of weight.”
Chen Jinchu lost weight, but both Lianlian and Shoubao gained weight. Lianlian had some extra money on hand and would buy some snacks. Shoubao ate and slept every day. Chen Jinchu wanted him to catch fish because
It's too fat and I can't even catch fish.
Zhao Qinghui responded, thinking that he would bring some fabric back later to make new clothes for Xingzhu and Lianlian.
"Who made these snacks?" A noble man walked up to Zhao Qinghui's stall.
Zhao Qinghui said: "She is my sister. Sir, do you want to try it?"
The young master was dressed gorgeously, had an aristocratic temperament, and was very handsome. In Zhao Qinghui's opinion, such a noble person would never eat food from a stall like theirs. However, the young master picked up a piece and gently
Chewing.
He nodded and said, "It tastes good. I bought them all. How much do you think they cost?"
Zhao Qinghui was a little flattered and said: "Thank you, sir. Since you bought so much at once, it will be cheaper for me. If you don't mind it, I can give this bamboo basket to you as well. It is newly made and has always been used to hold food."
The young master signaled his subordinates to take the basket away, and he looked at Zhao Qinghui with a smile, which made Zhao Qinghui panic in his heart. After all, in his understanding, most wealthy people were rich and unkind.
"In total, it's two coins and one hundred coins. Master, please give me two coins."
"Give him five taels of silver." The man smiled, his smile as noble as the fabric of his robe.
Zhao Qinghui said: "No, no, no, it's too much. I only need two ounces of money or two taels of silver."
The man smiled and said: "This pastry is very suitable to my taste. Does your sister want to find some work? I will pay double the salary?"
The smile gradually disappeared from Zhao Qinghui's face. He simply packed up his things, without even an extra glance, and drove the donkey cart to leave.
The noble young master smiled and said: "Go back and tell your sister that my surname is Wei, and I will wait for her in Yunyao Town. If she can't wait before the sun sets tomorrow, I will pass it on to Fei Ge in Beijing."
Read the book."
"Wait a minute! I want to remind you not to hide it, otherwise, you will harm her and yourself." The man said coldly.
Zhao Qinghui felt extremely heavy along the way. Although he was simple but not stupid, he was even considered one of the smartest people in the village.
From the first day he saw her, he knew that she was no ordinary girl. Her clothes were made of satin from the inside to the outside and the workmanship was exquisite. Her conversational temperament was elegant and she was as white as a shell.
The little face of the egg...
He even thought that she might be a girl who escaped from a wealthy family, or she might be a concubine who ran away.
But after she arrived, she was lively, cheerful, simple and kind. Although she could not lift her shoulders or lift her hands, she was sweet-tongued and discerning, and she quickly integrated into the family and became like a member of their family.
She can act coquettishly, tell jokes, and is willing to follow them to learn farm work, as well as some practical and novel knowledge.
The whole family likes her very much.
He also likes it. Even Zhao Qinglian can spot someone like him who is not good at expressing himself.
He returned home swaying and even a little lost. As soon as he parked the donkey cart, he saw Lianlian and Chen Jinchu sitting on the small stools at the door, holding freshly roasted sweet potatoes in their hands.
These were originally used for raising pigs, but they became treasures after Chen Jinchu came. She not only put a few pieces in when cooking porridge, but also cut them into slices and dried them into dried sweet potatoes. Now she uses the stove to make roasted sweet potatoes.
Lianlian was disgusted with it at first, but after eating it a few times, she also liked it.
Chen Jinchu laughed and said, "Let me tell you, the sweet potatoes grown in the mountains are waxy, soft and sweet."
"Who is like you? You are so greedy that you think about eating all day long." Lianlian curled her lips.
When Chen Jin saw Zhao Qinghui coming back for the first time, he stood up to greet him and said with a smile: "You are back so early today? It's earlier than usual."
"Why do you look unhappy? But what happened?" Chen Jinchu asked again.
Zhao Qinghui said: "I probably caught a cold and felt a little uncomfortable, but it's nothing serious. I met a rich man and bought all the pastries, so I came back early."
Chen Jinchu said: "How about I boil some herbs for you?"
They collected a lot of medicinal herbs from the mountains and drank some of them when they had headaches, fever, colds and coughs.
"Need not."
Zhao Qinghui did not go back to his room to rest, but went to find Lao Zhao and Mr. Liu.
He told the two old men about his experience of meeting the noble young master.
Old Zhao frowned and said: "This day will come sooner or later. She is not from here. Tell her clearly about this and drive her to Yunyao Town in a donkey cart tomorrow."
