Chapter 6 Strange Man

Before Su Xiaomu and Mrs. Yin entered the house, Ms. Chen put down her embroidery work and pulled them quickly into the yard.

Mrs. Li was waiting for them at the entrance of the courtyard. She first stared at Su Xiaomu, and then she moved her eyes to the basket slung on Ms. Yin's arm when she saw her normal expression with a smile.

"How's it going? Are the pancakes selling well?"

Mrs. Li was also a little hesitant now. She was sure yesterday that this thing could make money, but she wasn't watching them go to the market to sell it, and she didn't know whether they could do a good business with their weak looks.

"It's selling very well." Su Xiaomu came up and took Li's arm affectionately and whispered to her, "My sister-in-law and I set the price for the pancakes, three cents each, three pancakes are one cent cheaper.

It was sold out soon after we arrived in the city."

As soon as she finished speaking, she took off the purse from her waist and handed all the coins to Mrs. Li: "A total of eighty-five cents were sold. My sister-in-law and I cut some meat at the butcher's shop to make pancakes tomorrow. It cost thirty cents.

There are still fifty-five articles here."

Su Xiaomu told Mrs. Li exactly where the copper plate was. Mrs. Yin couldn't speak and was not as quick as her, so she kept nodding her head at the moment.

"Xiaomu is right, we are doing business today thanks to her presence, otherwise the wild vegetable pancake would have fallen into my hands."

After talking to Mrs. Li for a while, Su Xiaomu went to the kitchen and cooked the big stick bones.

Then take out the pork suet and boil it.

First, cut the lard into small pieces, then pour it into a pot and add water to boil it. The lard that is boiled will be more translucent than the one that is boiled dry.

All the lard residue is extracted, and the lard is set aside to condense.

She took out the leftover white flour at home, mixed it with cornmeal, kneaded it into a ball, and wrapped the wontons with lard residue.

Use the fragrant bone soup to cook the wontons, sprinkle a handful of chives on them when they are about to come out of the pot, and when you serve them, they are so fragrant that the entire Gu family's tongues will eat them.

After eating, Su Xiaomu originally took the initiative to wash the dishes, but Mrs. Li assigned Mrs. Chen to do it.

She didn't rob him. After all, she had figured out in the past two days that if she wanted to live a good life in this family, she still had to rely on Mrs. Li, her mother-in-law.

I didn't see Ms. Chen's expression of reluctance when she was called to wash the dishes, but she still didn't say a word and didn't even dare to look at Mr. Li. This shows how well she, the mother-in-law, usually disciplines her daughter-in-law.

Early the next morning, Su Xiaomu followed Yin and Chen up the mountain to dig wild vegetables. She continued to pick up a lot of chili peppers while they were not paying attention. Then when she went back, she took the opportunity to make breakfast and made chili salt.

come out.

After breakfast, she and Mrs. Yin went into the city to sell wild vegetable pancakes.

But this time we did a little more, almost sixty.

"Sister-in-law, let's sell them separately like yesterday. If you still don't sell well in the future, can I come over and help you?"

"Okay, then my sister-in-law will ask you for help when the time comes."

Yin didn't refuse. After yesterday, she finally saw that her younger sibling was a truly capable person.

And she... just happened to be able to take advantage of this business opportunity to change her temper.

Mrs. Yin encouraged herself secretly in her heart, and then she held the basket and shouted softly: "We are selling wild vegetable pancakes..."

Su Xiaomu deliberately went a little further today to sell some. While shouting, he wondered if he could still see the man who had taken advantage of him yesterday.

However, today's business was slightly bleaker than yesterday. After a quarter of an hour or two, she only sold six pancakes.

"Jingcheng, I said you shouldn't always shut yourself up in the academy to study. Master said that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. We should go out and move around more often. Otherwise, what should we do if we become stupid while studying?"

Gu Jingcheng's classmate and friend Su Lin had not eaten this morning. It happened that his wife had something to do and left school early, so he forced Gu Jingcheng to go out to eat.

"I want to eat pancakes. I wonder if Lao Niu in the east of the city is still selling meat pancakes."

Gu Jingcheng ignored him, and Su Lin was not in a hurry.

He took him to the market with familiarity, but today he didn't see the old cow, but he smelled another aroma of pancakes.

"I said boss, what are you making for this pancake? It's a bit expensive to sell it for five cents each."

Su Lin smelled the wild vegetable pancakes in Su Xiaomu's basket. Not to mention, although it didn't smell fishy, ​​it was surprisingly fragrant.

He was so hooked that he was now a bit greedy.

"The customer was joking. My pancakes are made from lard and cornmeal and are very delicious. How come they are so expensive? Moreover, I also add exclusive spices for seasoning. They taste much better than ordinary pancakes."

Among the guests Su Xiaomu met, he was not the first one to call him expensive, so he didn't take it to heart.

She rolled up a pancake with oil paper and handed it to Su Lin. She smiled and said, "Guests, you may wish to take a closer look. There are many differences between my pancake and those sold by others."

"You said this stuff is made from lard and cornmeal?"

Gu Jingcheng raised his eyes and looked at the pancake she handed over with disapproval, "What you are making is clearly a wild vegetable pancake. Although we have never seen the spices sprinkled on it before, how can it be considered a valuable thing?"

Huh? Did you meet a gangster?

Of course, Su Xiaomu wasn't angry either.

She put the pancakes back into the basket and said to him with a smile: "It doesn't matter. If this guest thinks my pancakes are not worth the price, he doesn't have to buy them. He can also take a look and see how other people's pancakes taste different from ours."

."

Anyway, she didn't have many guests like them. After Su Xiaomu said that, she turned around and prepared to go somewhere else.

Even though the man who spoke behind him was more handsome, his skin was fairer, and he was taller, she couldn't look down on him.

"How can the boss say that?"

Gu Jingcheng saw that her expression turned cold for a moment and frowned in displeasure. The woman was out doing business and did not speak well to the guests. Instead, she looked sharp-tongued.

"It's understandable to have doubts about opening a business. As long as the boss's products are of high quality, it will naturally stop Youyou's mouth. But the boss is a little guilty when he acts like this."

"Oh, hey, you two, don't be like this, you can only make money by being harmonious!"

Seeing that something was wrong with the situation, Zhou Lin quickly came out to make things happen.

"How can we be harmonious and make money when our guests' friends talk like this?"

Su Xiaomu really didn't want to do business with the two of them. At this time, the big customer who came to her to buy cakes yesterday came over. Su Xiaomu immediately turned around and ignored the two of them.

"The guest is here again today? How many cakes do you want to buy?"

She instantly remembered this guest's face yesterday. He was so "amiable"!

"Give me all the cakes you make. Boss, your food is really delicious. If you sell other cakes in the future, remember to tell me. I will definitely come to support you, boss. The price is a bit more expensive.
