Chapter 8: I Was Found Hiding Money

Su Xiaomu calmly put the coins into her purse, raised a gentle smile and said to Ms. Yin, "Sister-in-law, did you sell the coins so fast today?"

"If it doesn't sell quickly, how do you know your price is two cents more expensive than mine?"

Yin's face became increasingly ugly.

"My mother and I trust you so much, how could you do such a thing behind our backs?"

Su Xiaomu blinked.

Yin's items are always sold out so slowly. Why did she sell out her items today as if she suddenly opened up the Ren and Du channels?

But no matter how speechless she was, she didn't show any panic on her face.

She took out the remaining chili salt and showed it to Mrs. Yin.

"This is a condiment I accidentally made yesterday, using a kind of fruit from our mountain.

I had read about it in a book before, saying it was a specialty of Sichuan. So I tried to make some, and it was indeed very fragrant when put on pancakes. In this way, our pancakes can be sold at a high price!

"

She opened the basket, and Mrs. Yin saw that the condiment was indeed put on the pancakes inside. Her expression became a little brighter: "You only sold it for two cents more today?"

Although she has never read a book, she still knows how much money she can make if she sells two more cents per cake.

Mrs. Yin felt uncomfortable again.

"Sister-in-law, I told Ruotong this morning to go to the mountain to collect this fruit. If you don't believe me, ask her. I'll give her a copper for five kilograms. Although it's not much, I can save some every day for when Ruotong gets married.

, maybe we can buy more quilts.”

"They have never seen this thing. I sold it more expensively because I wanted to save more money for my husband to take the exam. It doesn't matter if I, the wife, have to suffer a little more. The important thing is that he doesn't delay his studies."

The matter of my brother-in-law rushing to take the exam is important, and the matter of her daughter getting married is also important.

"Okay." Ms. Yin thought for a while and stopped talking about it, "But if you sell it too expensive, what will you do if they come to your door?"

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I've clearly marked the price, and you don't trust my craftsmanship."

Su Xiaomu coaxed Ms. Yin, and she felt much more relaxed.

She still has a dozen cakes here that have not been sold out, and it will take some time before they can go home.

"The boss is out selling cakes again?"

Zhou Lin was out alone today, and he smelled the wild vegetable pancakes from afar.

I didn't eat it last time, so I was very hungry this time.

"Yes, how many do guests want to buy this time?"

Everyone who comes here is a guest, so I won’t hit the smiling person with my hand.

Su Xiaomule was doing business, so Zhou Lin simply bought all her cakes at once.

Su Xiaomu was a little surprised, "Twelve, all of them?"

"Your cake smells so good. I didn't buy it last time, but I thought it must be something special, so I bought it and shared it with my classmates!"

"Okay, thank you customers. I happen to be selling new pancakes in two days. Customers must remember to come and support my business."

Su Xiaomu never misses every opportunity to make money.

Mrs. Yin nodded and walked in front of Su Xiaomu with the basket in hand.

It was still the same mountain road, but after walking for two days, Su Xiaomu got used to it.

On the way, Su Xiaomu chatted with each other.

"I have a new method of making cakes. I will discuss it with my sister-in-law when we get back."

"Okay, since you have a good brain, my sister-in-law will follow you and do whatever you want."

After returning home, Mrs. Li was not at home, and Ms. Chen was busy cooking dinner for the family in the kitchen.

Gu Ruotong waited at the door for them to come back. As soon as she saw Su Xiaomu, she immediately ran towards her holding a cloth bag.

"Auntie, I picked a total of three kilograms of the fruit you mentioned today."

She timidly handed the cloth bag to Su Xiaomu and said, "There are still a lot of these fruits on the mountain. If my sister-in-law wants more tomorrow, I can pick some more and bring them back."

Su Xiaomu did not expect that Gu Ruotong's work efficiency was quite high. She took the cloth bag and looked at the peppers inside, then bumped the weight, and then took out two copper plates from her purse and handed them to the little girl with great satisfaction.

There was a smile on her slightly raised lips: "Come on, put it away."

"Thank you, aunt!"

When she saw the money, the little girl's eyes lit up, but when she saw Ms. Yin walking behind her, her smile immediately disappeared, and she looked timid again.

Carefully handing the copper plate to Mrs. Yin, Gu Ruotong didn't dare to raise her head: "Mother, this is the money my third aunt gave me for picking fruit. Mother, please keep it."

"Since your third aunt gave it to you, just keep it yourself. What will you do for me?"

Mrs. Yin did not take her daughter's money, but pulled Su Xiaomu and said, "Tell my sister-in-law later what is your new method?"

After that, she pulled Su Xiaomu into the house. Seeing that her mother didn't take her money, Gu Ruotong happily stuffed the coins into her purse and went to play with her younger siblings.

Today, Mr. Chen is cooking. The leftover lard residue from yesterday was mixed with wild vegetables and stir-fried. Each person steamed a steamed bun with wild vegetables. Although the porridge he drank was not very ricey, it was barely enough to drink water.

Su Xiaomu didn't even look at such a meal before, but now seeing the Gu family members eating more deliciously than the others, she fell into a long silence.

After dinner, Su Xiaomu took over the task of washing dishes.

After washing the dishes, Su Xiaomu made her chili in the kitchen.

Stir-fry the chopped chili pepper and lard until fragrant, add a little more salt to taste.

She took a clay pot with a shallower mouth and put the chilies in it, planning to spread it on the pancakes tomorrow.

"From the third family."

As soon as Su Xiaomu made the chili sauce, Mrs. Li stood outside the kitchen and looked at her with a smile.

"Come here, mother has something to tell you."

Mrs. Li waved to her pleasantly, then took out five cents and handed it to Su Xiaomu.

This money made her feel hot, so she quickly handed it back to Mrs. Li and said, "Mom, what are you doing? I will give you this money..."

"Your sister-in-law has told me that you have made more money. Mom knows that you are doing your best for the family. Since you are always thinking about the third child, I can rest assured. You should keep this thing for yourself.

From now on, if you come across something you want to buy in the city, you can buy it with your own money."

The more Ms. Li looked at her, the more satisfied she became. She patted her hand and said: "From now on, my mother will give you some money every day when you come back from selling things. I also want to wait for the third child to come back so that you two can have sex, preferably before the Chinese New Year."

…”

She glanced meaningfully at Su Xiaomu's belly and smiled without saying a word.

That look in her eyes really made Su Xiaomu feel creepy. The next day when she and Yin were selling pancakes together, she felt very uncomfortable.

However, business was good today, and we happened to be going to the market. The cakes that usually take more than an hour to buy were sold out in two-quarters of an hour today.

Everyone really likes this chili sauce, and some people asked her if the chili sauce can be sold separately.
