Chapter 86 Snow Sweeping

"Miaomiao, what should we do?"

Gu Yuanniang looked at the woman standing at the door and didn't know what to say.

Xu Miaomiao was busy rolling out the dough and said, "It doesn't matter. After two days of heavy snow, I don't believe she can still stay there."

"Um."

The winter is dull, and the cold snow is falling with the north wind.

The woman at the door was shivering from the cold, and finally couldn't help but curse in a low voice, turned around and left.

"People are gone?"

Gu Yuanniang took Erbao and Xiaobao to ask aloud. In the past few days, the way to send them to school was through the back door, and they went around a lot of places.

"Let's go. Let's see her off from the main entrance today." Xu Miaomiao cleaned up the carriage and called Gu Yuanniang to come up.

"Ah, cut—"

A sneeze caught Xu Miaomiao's attention. He followed the sound and saw that Song Wushao was wearing a thin robe. He looked a little older. Xu Miaomiao felt sad and immediately packed up his things and sent Erbao and Xiao

When Bao went to school, she could also buy some cotton clothes for Song Wushao.

Erbao dozed off on the rickety carriage. He was woken up in a daze by the carriage that suddenly stopped: "Mother, what's wrong?"

Seeing the carriage stopped at the same spot, Xu Miaomiao immediately went down to take a look.

The originally narrow road was covered with thick snow, and people gathered around the road not knowing how to get across.

"Ms. Xu, do you want to go down the mountain?"

Xu Miaomiao nodded: "The child still has to go to school."

"That's really unfortunate." Village Chief Wang said from the side: "This road was fine yesterday, but it snowed heavily last night, so we can't walk today. If we force ourselves to cross, I'm afraid I'll fall down."

Xu Miaomiao nodded and thought for a while, then looked at the crowd gathered around and said, "Everyone, why don't we work together to clear the snow."

"Sweeping snow?" Wu Zhuang's wife asked curiously, looking at Xu Miaomiao in confusion.

"Yes." Xu Miaomiao said, "Wouldn't it be more convenient to sweep the snow aside and pile it up to make a way?"

"That's right!" Village Chief Wang suddenly realized: "If the snow can be swept away, we can go down the mountain, and we don't have to wait for the snow to clear before going again."

"Yes, yes." The man on the side responded and said, "Why didn't you think of it before? I'm going to get the broom."

As they were saying that everyone was about to go home to get the tools, Xu Miaomiao immediately stopped them when he saw this: "It's inconvenient to go home, so go get it from my house."

He shouted to everyone to go to the thing in the courtyard.

"Miaomiao, aren't you going to school today?" Gu Yuanniang raised the curtain and looked at Xu Miaomiao and asked.

"Yes." Xu Miaomiao nodded: "It's snowing heavily today and the roads are blocked. Let's sweep the snow away first."

"good."

Gu Yuanniang turned the carriage and headed home.

As soon as they got the tools, everyone started pushing the snow non-stop.

Xiaobao pinched the snowflakes curiously, and with Xu Miaomiao's homemade gloves on his hand, he grabbed a ball of snow and threw it at Erbao. The two had a great time playing.

"Let's pile up all the snow in the south. It will melt faster that way."

As soon as Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, everyone nodded and piled up the snow in response.

After a while, the snowflakes nearby piled up into a hill, and the road that was originally filled with snow was cleared.

"Oh, now we can go down the mountain." Village Chief Wang said happily.

Xu Miaomiao smiled slightly and handed her tool to Gu Yuanniang: "Liu Niang, take it back."

"Miaomiao, what about you?"

"I'll go down the mountain and take a look at the shop."

Gu Yuanniang nodded and took the tool handed over by Xu Miaomiao: "Then you should be more careful."

Xu Miaomiao hummed softly and turned around to leave.

The bustle of the market is very different from the depression on the mountain. There are crowds of people coming and going, and there are also many people gathering in the department store.

"Sister Xu."

As soon as Lan Yin saw Xu Miaomiao, she immediately rushed forward and hugged her.

"Lanyin, didn't you go to school today?"

Lan Yin shook his head: "It's snowing today, Master asked us to finish class early."

"oh."

"Is Sister Xu here to check the accounts?" Xu Guo asked from the side.

Xu Miaomiao shook her head: "I'm always at ease when you do things. How are you doing lately?"

"Everything is fine. I just ran out of lion cakes and portable pastries."

"Yes." Xu Miaomiao nodded and looked at the sky. It was not easy to make in the heavy snow. It would only be more troublesome to process it by yourself.

"Hey, Madam Xu is finally waiting for you."

The man on the side saw Xu Miaomiao and happily stepped forward to hold her.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Li Eryuan, you bought sweet-scented osmanthus cake at my house."

"Oh, it's shopkeeper Li." Xu Miaomiao suddenly realized that the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in this store has a unique taste: "Your cakes are very sweet. I will never forget them after eating them."

"Haha." The man chuckled: "Ms. Xu appreciates it all. Your lion-waking cakes are really unforgettable for me. I came here to buy some more today."

"It's a pity that there are no more lion awakening cakes." Xu Guo responded from the side.

The man looked at Xu Miaomiao in surprise.

Xu Miaomiao said awkwardly: "There are so many people buying them that even our small workshop can't supply them."

As he said that, the man opposite him also sighed in disappointment, muttering about regrets, and turned around to leave.

"Shopkeeper Li, are you willing to cooperate with me?"

Xu Miaomiao said.

"Cooperation?" The man turned around happily and looked at Xu Miaomiao and asked, "What does Mrs. Xu mean?"

"I will come up with the formula, shopkeeper Li will be responsible for making it, and then we will process it together. What do you think?" Xu Miaomiao asked.

As soon as the man heard this, he immediately pulled Xu Miaomiao and asked, "Is what Mrs. Xu said true?"

Xu Miaomiao nodded. She had eaten the sweet-scented osmanthus cake before. It tasted sweet and soft and didn't look like a trick. If the two companies could cooperate, it would be very cost-effective no matter how you think about it.

"Okay." Li Eryuan made the final decision and looked at Xu Miaomiao: "Ms. Xu trusts me so much. I will definitely live up to your trust. After the matter is completed, what about you and me?"

There was a hint of temptation in the man's tone. After a long while, Xu Miaomiao said: "Fifty-five points."

"Ms. Xu, you..."

"Shopkeeper Li trusts me, so naturally I can't let you down, but I will have to rely on you for the purchase of goods from this department store in the future."

"Hahaha, Madam Xu, you're welcome."

The two discussed it, and soon after signing the document, Xu Miaomiao gave the man the method of awakening the lion cake.

Li Eryuan thanked him with his hands, carefully put away the prescription and turned to leave.

"Now we don't have to worry about running out of supplies. Sister Xu is really smart." Lan Yin said jokingly at the side.

Xu Miaomiao looked at the sky, hurriedly went out and said to Lan Yinxuguo behind him: "I have to leave first, you guys take care of yourselves."

Hurrying to the tailor shop, Xu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the door was open.

"Boss, do you have any ready-made cotton clothes?"

"No more." The boss shook his head: "Only the fabric has to be sewn by yourself."
