In the next three months, Liu Xin stayed in Dezhu City and bought a small courtyard in the city, a very small one, with five cabins and a small vegetable garden in the backyard.
This kind of yard is in the average condition of a middle-class family in Nanyuan Country. Those close to the market will be more expensive, and vice versa.
After buying the yard, Liu Xin moved in with her two younger brothers and mother. Her father Liu Dagen also followed.
There was an episode, that is, a few gangsters wanted to come to Qiufeng, and under the guise of "catching escaped slaves", they wanted to spread the story of the Liu family's selling of girls, which everyone in Nigou Street knew.
He made up his mind to say that Liu Xin was a runaway slave, and then became violent.
Needless to say, the result was that a few gangsters ran out like crazy for no apparent reason. Then they each took out the daggers at their waists and stabbed each other in the crowded street. In the end, they all fell to death in a pool of blood.
.
This scene is not small, not to mention that these gangsters have something to rely on if they dare to attack Liu Xin. They called a few warriors, who were said to be some kind of "Kui Ye" from these streets, but in the end they were just a small character in the Kaiyuan realm.
Liu Xin's soul-soothing voice directly sent Mr. Kui to the street to stab each other with those gangsters. He also died.
It was thrilling outside, but the Liu family quietly said goodbye to Nigou Street after everyone's attention was drawn away.
"Mom, didn't you say that you are the best at making pancakes? You also said that it was your grandmother who taught you this unique skill, right?"
"That's not the case! My dear, it's not your mother's fault. The cakes made by my mother are much more delicious than those at a few stalls in the city!" Shen Hong's body was already in good shape, especially after she ate another one later.
After Liu Xin gave her the elixir, she felt even better, as if she was as young as a teenager.
After taking the Biqing Pill, Shen Hong's life span increased by ten years, and some of the loss of vitality caused by the old illness was now fully replenished by Shen Hong.
Today, Shen Hong is no different from a normal person. She is even physically and mentally better than other people her age.
Liu Xin smiled, led Shen Hong to the kitchen, pointed to the utensils and ingredients on the stove, and said to Shen Hong: "Mom, here are the things you mentioned, you can try it
, to see if you can survive if you get started?"
"What? Is my daughter hungry? Okay! I'll show you my skills today!" Shen Hong didn't think much, stepped forward and started cleaning up. She is a farm girl, what kind of housework can't she do? She was just sick before.
, now he is in better shape than before, and his hands and feet are even more agile. In a short while, he has sorted out all the things and officially started making pancakes.
When the pancakes came out of the pan, Shen Hong helped roll some special sauces and fillings into them. When they were finally handed to Liu Xin, they looked like a rolled cylinder. Although they looked rough, they smelled good.
I knew this stuff would be delicious.
It smells so good!
Even Liu Xin once worked in the royal kitchen of the palace, and she had eaten some of the leftover delicacies, but the taste was not necessarily as good as the pancake in her hand.
While Liu Xin was eating, Shen Hong had already begun to bake one for Liu San who was following him.
While Liu Xin was eating what she was holding, she felt that this pancake with the fillings was enough for her to have a full meal. And it tasted really good. So she said, "Mom, this pancake needs to be given an easy-to-remember name."
"
"Hey, this kid of yours is just a pancake. What's your name? Besides, my mother doesn't even know the Chinese characters, so how can I give her a name?" Shen Hong feels that her daughter speaks very interestingly now. Every word and deed is also quite organized.
Secretly, I don’t know which gentleman actually raised Liu Xin so well. Even though she was a young lady, no one would say no.
Liu Xin didn't know what Shen Hong was thinking. She had her own plan, otherwise how could she do this for no reason? Did she really think she was greedy?
"Mom, your craftsmanship is so good. You can spread out a pancake very quickly. It only takes half a cup of tea to make one. Moreover, there are enough fillings and good taste. My appetite will be full with just one pancake. If
For people like Liu San or Liu Er who can eat well, the two of them should be able to be 70-80% full.
You said if you set up a stall to sell this kind of pancakes, and sell it with some rice porridge and Mihu Lake, can you support your family?"
"Ah?!" Shen Hong was dumbfounded. She had been a poor person for half her life and was used to being poor. How could she have imagined that one day she would be able to make a living with her crafts?
"Mom, just tell me, do you believe that many people will buy the pancakes you make?"
"This..." Shen Hong put down what she was doing and walked back and forth in the kitchen. She had no idea for a while. She had never planned for herself like this.
"Daughter, you have seen the world now, and I will listen to you!"
"Haha, okay then, mother, you start practicing your skills. You have to put a lot of effort into the fillings and prepare enough, and the preparations must be kept secret. You only need to know. In addition, you should also think about how many noodles to prepare...
..”
After Liu Xin explained everything, Shen Hong could only nod her head, but at the same time she was serious and anxious. Liu Xin repeated some points several times to make sure she had not forgotten them before letting her continue.
For several days, Shen Hong's craftsmanship was perfect, and all preparations for setting up the stall were completed.
"Daughter, what's the name of this cake?"
"It's called Mrs. Shen's cake and fruit." Liu Xin said with a smile and handed an embroidered flag in front of Shen Hong. Just insert a bamboo pole and you can put it up as a sign.
The entire Liu family is busy. The two boys, including Liu Dagen, are busy working on the cake stall. If this stall is doing well, it will definitely make much more than Liu Dagen going to the stone quarry to help people carry stones. The family
We can rely on this stall to improve our food and clothing.
"Daughter, are you leaving?"
One night before going out to the stall, Shen Hong knocked on Liu Xin's door, sat by the bed and talked to Liu Xin, who was also not sleeping. Although Shen Hong was busy with things these days, she felt that her daughter's words were getting louder and louder.
Yue Shao always stood by and watched with a smile.
Although Shen Hong didn't understand any big principles and didn't have much knowledge, she could feel that her daughter was ready to leave.
Just as the daughter said to her father on the first day they met, the word "owed" will always be repaid. In that incident, the daughter repaid her father's debt, and then she saved her mother and found him again.
I have to accept "Aunt Shen's cakes and fruits" as a way of survival. Is this considered as repaying another favor?
Liu Xin didn't hide anything, nodded and said, "It's time to go."
Same as Shen Hong's feelings and guesses. Liu Xin's trip back was to put an end to her obsession. She met her father once, and now there is no bond. Her mother's kindness was also expressed in the form of two pills and some guidance.
and paving the way, asking yourself if it is still clean. Then what’s the point of leaving it any longer?
"Then can you wait a few more days? Just seven days! Mom wants to celebrate your birthday." Shen Hong was a little cautious. After her daughter was born, her family was too poor and she had never celebrated anyone's birthday. She felt that it would be difficult to say goodbye this time.
We will never see each other again, so I want to keep some thoughts with you.
