Breakfast was relatively simple. I cooked white rice porridge, bought meat buns from the farm shop, and paired them with homemade pickles. That was it.
After breakfast, Xia Qiyue took out five bottles of milk and put them at home until they had eaten.
I originally wanted to have it for breakfast, but it was cold in the morning, so I cooked white rice porridge. It has a lot of carbohydrates and can warm my body quickly.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Xia Jiuyue carefully put the five bottles of milk aside, then walked over and stood next to her sister who was putting on makeup and asked.
She was a little afraid to pick up the milk bottle for fear of breaking it. It was the first time she saw such a beautiful bottle. The things the eldest sister took out became more and more rare, saying that it contained milk, but she liked the bottle.
Xia Qiyue replied without even raising her head, "I'm going out to sell halva in a while, and you guys are cooking tea eggs at home!"
There are still about a thousand eggs in the space, which can be sold for a day or two. Anyway, there are so many eggs in the space.
"Sister... Is it dangerous for you to go alone? Why don't we sell it in the market?"
Xia Jiuyue is always the cautious one. If she is afraid of this or that, there is nothing she is not afraid of.
But this is not bad, it often reminds Xia Qiyue to be careful when doing things.
"There are mostly ordinary people in the market, and there are only a few wealthy people. Moreover, it is all servants who come out to buy. The purchasing power is insufficient, so it is better to sell it yourself!"
"Promotion?" Xia Jiuyue asked curiously as she didn't understand what promotion was.
"Don't ask, you just cook tea eggs at home. I went to sell halva and sold tea eggs at a stall when I came back. Don't go out. Lao Xia's family will definitely not stop. They will definitely look for us everywhere when they know we have entered the city.
Woolen cloth!"
Xia Jiuyue was moved. She was afraid of being caught by her second aunt. That fear had become a habit and came from the heart.
The two children were very sensible. They climbed up on the kang and sat on the quilt. They obediently looked at the milk in front of them but did not dare to touch it. They were very cute.
Xia Qiyue wore new clothes, but instead of turning into men's clothes, she put on exquisite makeup. She looked like a girl from a wealthy family.
She also wanted to dress better, so that it would be more acceptable to negotiate with wealthy people, but the clothes she had bought for herself in the space were just like this. She had no choice but to make her makeup more refined, making her look unrecognizable.
When she came, she no longer looked like a country lady. However, she sighed that the cosmetics were too crude, otherwise they would be able to produce a level 5 beauty effect.
This makeup was not suitable for carrying a backpack, so Xia Qiyue carried the largest basket with three kilograms of candy in it and walked out the door.
The first stop was to go to Yuan Tang’s maternal wife’s house, because she heard from the apple seller that the daughter-in-law of Tang Yuan’s maternal family loved sweets the most, and she would definitely not be able to refuse the candies.
After asking around all the way, we arrived at the back door of Tang Yuan's foreign residence. After making some preparations, we knocked on the door.
Naturally, there was a servant guarding the back door. When I heard the knock on the door, a woman came over and opened the door.
"What are you doing?" Seeing that he looked very unfamiliar and was not from the shops where he used to deliver things, the woman guarding the door asked with a bad expression.
"Hello, auntie, I'm from Xia Ji Dessert Shop. Our shopkeeper asked me to come over and deliver something new to the lady in the house to try!"
"Xia Ji? Is there a dessert shop like this in town? Why haven't I heard of it?" The woman guarding the door was a little suspicious and had no intention of letting anyone in.
Xia Qiyue's eyes rolled around and she had an idea. "Mom, we are a new dim sum shop. Why don't we...let me attract customers? Take these coins and buy some tea..."
As he spoke, he picked up the doorkeeper's hand and put more than ten copper coins on it.
The gatekeeper quickly grabbed the copper plate, looked up and down a few times, and smiled.
She is guarding the back door. This kind of thing happens all the time when promoting products in her own store. This is not the first time, so letting people in is not a big deal.
Besides, who in the family didn't know that the eldest lady loves sweets, so after taking the money, his attitude changed, he took the person in with a smile, and sent him directly to the eldest lady's yard.
Xia Qiyue came in and came back, but she was also complaining that this servant of the Tang Dynasty was really irresponsible. He just sent her in with more than ten copper coins...
What if she is a bad person?
The complainer complained that things still had to be sold. She followed the gatekeeper to the eldest lady's courtyard but could not go in directly. The gatekeeper just handed her over to the eldest lady's courtyard and left.
Xia Qiyue waited for a while before the person who went in to report came out, but his face was not very good. He told his mother-in-law, "Miss, I am not in the mood for snacks today! Please let people go!"
When Xia Qiyue heard this, she wondered how this could work? If she couldn't sell it today, she didn't know if she would have a chance to get in.
"Sister, did your eldest lady encounter something unhappy?"
When the little maid heard that Xia Qiyue was talking to her, she turned around and saw that it was the person selling snacks. She said angrily and chased him away, "Don't waste your time! Leave quickly! Go to another place to sell some!"
"
Xia Qiyue knew that the little girl had good intentions. Maybe she was scolded by her lady for going to report the matter but she didn't lose her temper.
"Sister, don't leave in a hurry. Try our crispy candy. I'm sure you'll want to eat it again!" Xia Qiyue changed her strategy and didn't necessarily have to meet the eldest lady.
The little girl waved her hand, "No, I'd better not waste your snacks. I'm just a little maid..."
When Xia Qiyue heard this, she immediately interrupted her and retorted, "What are you talking about? What happened to the maid? If food can be eaten by people who like it, then it is not a waste! The maid is also a human being, don't belittle yourself!"
Xia Qiyue originally wanted to say that everyone is equal, but come to think of it, how could she possibly change this deep-rooted value system on her own?
But what she said about it not being wasted if it can be eaten by someone who likes it moved the little maid, and she saw the little maid walking over.
Xia Qiyue quickly gave the little maid one of the crispy candies she had reserved for tasting.
"Why is this snack so hard and so small?" The little maid held it in her hand and did not eat it in her mouth immediately. Instead, she asked curiously.
Xia Qiyue quickly explained, "This is not a snack, it is a crisp candy, just like maltose, but crisper, fragrant and sweeter than maltose! Try it quickly!"
As for the hardness, compared with soft and waxy snacks, it is certainly hard.
When the little maid heard this, she quickly put it in her mouth and took a bite. It felt really crispy, fragrant and sweet.
"Give me another piece and wait here!" The little maid quickly put all the candy in her mouth and asked Xia Qiyue to wait for her outside.
Xia Qiyue knew that this was going to be given to their young lady, and her plan was successful.
I quickly got one for the little maid. I didn't take more, just to hang on to the young lady inside who loved sweets and was in a bad mood.
The little maid took the candy and ran in.
"Miss, miss, try this quickly. This is not a snack. The person outside said it is halva. It is very fragrant and sweet. It is so delicious!"
The little maid ran and shouted, knowing that her young lady was angry and confident that she would calm down as soon as she ate the candy.
