Chapter 100 Tangyuan
"Miaomiao, are you sure this free thing can be eaten?"
Gu Yuanniang held up a pair of soft glutinous rice balls with chopsticks and spoke in disbelief.
Xu Miaomiao nodded solemnly: "Yes, these glutinous rice balls are delicious."
Then he picked one up and put it in his mouth to show them.
Song Weiwei on the side was holding Ling'er, stretched her head and glanced at the white glutinous rice balls, but also frowned and said nothing.
Seeing Xu Miaomiao eating so happily, Gu Yuanniang muttered, picked up a chopstick of glutinous rice balls, and took a bite with the generosity of a strong man willing to die.
With the first bite, all the sesame filling inside poured out like a naughty child.
The aroma of sesame seeds spread in her mouth, and Gu Yuanniang's eyes lit up: "It's delicious."
"Really?" Song Weiwei asked in disbelief as she looked at her intoxicated appearance. When the woman didn't answer, she immediately picked up a glutinous rice ball and put it in her mouth.
The hot glutinous rice balls spread out, and Song Weiwei jumped up and down anxiously.
Ling'er in her arms was made to giggle by her, while Gu Yuanniang and Xu Miaomiao who were standing by looked at it with fear.
"Weiwei, please slow down and be careful of the child."
Under Xu Miaomiao's instructions, Song Weiwei immediately handed the child to Gu Yuanniang and started to enjoy the delicious food.
"This dumpling is delicious."
Song Weiwei spoke vaguely, making Xu Miaomiao and Gu Yuanniang smile in recognition.
"Miaomiao, why are you going?" Gu Yuanniang said as she looked at Xu Miaomiao who was about to get up.
"I'll get some glutinous rice balls to give to my neighbors."
Gu Yuanniang nodded when she heard the response. Such delicious food should indeed be shared.
"Ms. Xu, what is this?"
The one closest to their home was Village Chief Wang, and Xu Miaomiao immediately made a portion and gave it to the man.
Looking at the steaming glutinous rice balls, Village Chief Wang took them immediately, and the surrounding heat also made the coldness of winter dissipate a bit.
"This is glutinous rice dumpling. Our family made it recently. Please try it."
"Okay, let me try it." My village chief carefully held up a house with chopsticks and said with joy as soon as he took a bite: "Well, it's delicious and sweet!"
Hearing the man's reply, Xu Miaomiao also smiled amusedly, and shared the glutinous rice balls with everyone on the street.
"Liu Niang, we have a proposal tomorrow. We can set up a free glutinous rice dumpling stall on the street for everyone to taste, and then sell the glutinous rice dumplings as a seasonal limited product in department stores. How about it?"
"Seasonally limited?" Gu Yuanniang looked at Xu Miaomiao doubtfully: "Does it mean it's only available in winter?"
Xu Miaomiao nodded affirmatively: "Yes, this will attract some traffic to our department store, and it will also be a bragging gimmick."
"I agree!"
Before Gu Yuanniang could say anything, Song Weiwei nodded immediately. She couldn't sit still when she heard that she could eat glutinous rice balls for free.
Before dawn, Xu Miaomiao was busy making glutinous rice balls in the kitchen. It happened to be winter, so there was no need to worry about the glutinous rice balls getting spoiled on the road, which saved a lot of trouble.
In the early morning, as soon as Song Yingying got up, she saw people harnessing carriages. It seemed they were preparing to go to the street. She immediately gathered around her curiously: "Sister, are you going out? Can Yingying be of any help?"
Xu Miaomiao turned around, obviously not hearing her words.
Gu Yuanniang also held Ling'er and turned her head away, not wanting to talk to her.
"Step aside!"
Song Weiwei said to the woman in front of her and walked straight past her.
"Where is the right place for us to set up a stall?"
Gu Yuanniang looked at Xu Miaomiao and said curiously.
Xu Miaomiao thought for a while and pointed to an empty seat in the center of the street: "That's it. With more people, resources are better, and that seat is free and not occupied."
"good."
Song Weiwei agreed, quickly set up a stall and put all the dumplings in.
"Hey, Mrs. Xu?"
The women on the side gathered around curiously and greeted Xu Miaomiao. When they saw the word "free", their eyes lit up: "Ms. Xu, what new delicacy is this?"
"Ms. Zhang has such a good eye." Song Weiwei stirred the glutinous rice balls in the pot and said, "Our new glutinous rice balls are limited to five per person. Do you want to try them?"
"Yeah."
The woman picked up the small bowl and started eating immediately.
The cold weather was in sharp contrast to the bustling business here in Xu Miaomiao. Everyone gathered around the glutinous rice dumpling stall not wanting to leave.
"Ms. Xu, you are so awesome. Even if you open your own shop, you can still make new tricks like this every day. They are so delicious."
Xu Miaomiao responded to the woman with a slight smile.
"Mrs. Xu, when will you buy these glutinous rice balls? I need to buy a few bowls."
"Yes, Mrs. Xu, it's so delicious, I want to buy it too."
"Don't worry, everyone." Xu Miaomiao said comfortingly: "My glutinous rice balls will be sold in the department store tomorrow. Everyone can buy them, but no one is limited to thirty."
"Yeah."
Hearing what Xu Miaomiao said, everyone nodded and wanted to buy her glutinous rice balls.
"Who allowed you to set up a stall here?"
A familiar female voice came, and Xu Miaomiao helplessly held her forehead. Is this Chunhe idle every day? How come she can find him wherever he is.
As expected, Chunhe led a group of people to Xu Miaomiao's shop.
"It just so happened that Chun and Madam met again." Xu Miaomiao forced out a smile, muttering to herself that this woman should leave quickly.
"Unfortunately." The woman said with her hands on her hips and looked at Xu Miaomiao: "I came here specifically to find you."
"I really don't know why Mrs. Chunhe always feels bad about me?"
"I should ask you this." Chunhe said, "Xu Miaomiao, do you know that this is my territory? If you are buying something on our territory, should you say hello to us in advance?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Song Weiwei looked at the woman dissatisfied and said, "This is a free stall, and we didn't buy anything, why should we be kicked out!"
Chunhe said calmly: "Look, this street belongs to our family, so naturally this stall does too."
Gu Yuanniang tilted her head and looked at Xu Miaomiao.
Xu Miaomiao also shook her head in confusion: "Ms. Chunhe, if I remember correctly, the land should belong to the country. If you say this belongs to your family, you are going to rebel."
Hearing this, Chunhe blushed angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I say it?"
"Just now." Song Weiwei responded from the side: "We all heard it."
Chunhe threw his hands away in anger and looked at Xu Miaomiao: "I don't care, you are not allowed to set up a stall here anyway."
"You can't do it even if you say no, why!" Song Weiwei immediately contradicted her.
The anger of both sides was suppressed at the top, and the swords were tense, as if they were about to fight in the next second.
