The peasant girl who escaped the famine: pick up the leak and pick up a prince

Chapter 94 Selling Mooncakes ([-])

Chen Yan'er seemed to be in a good mood, wearing a pink shirt, appeared in front of Mai Mai, grinned and said, "Auntie, do you know what Liu Wenbing said to me?"

Yu Maimai didn't seem to be interested in these things. She pulled out the steamer while she was busy. After the hot mist dissipated, a flower-like mooncake was revealed, which was fragrant and whetted one's appetite.

"What are you talking about? It's all about you young people. Auntie doesn't want to know?"

Chen Yan'er happily put in the money and said, "Auntie, Wen Bing said that we will get married at the end of the year."

Yu Maimai was taken aback for a moment, this Liu Wenbing actually wanted to do something like this, he was trying to fool Chen Yan'er, a man with sinister intentions.

Mrs. Zhang sat on the threshold, curled her lips and said, "I said, Yan'er, you can't be fooled by this Liu Wenbing so simply, you know, he doesn't even want to come to your house now, he doesn't even I don't want to buy you a hairpin, look, he bought a hairpin and earrings for my second aunt."

"I don't want you to say that about my Brother Wen Bing. He said that it's not that he doesn't want to buy it, but he just doesn't have the money. When he has money, he will definitely buy it for me."

Mrs. Zhang suddenly laughed loudly: "Then tell me, how did he have the money to buy it for my second aunt? What does it mean, you, this silly girl, will suffer a loss sooner or later?"

Yu Maimai put the mooncakes on the chopping board, then found a silk thread, and used the thread to divide the mooncakes into even squares. The soft mooncakes suddenly revealed colorful layers, let alone eat them, just look at them It also looks very nice.

The smell of rose sauce came out from a long distance, and the whole yard was filled with the smell of roses.

Ning's eyes widened in surprise, pointing to the mooncakes on the chopping board and yelling: "Mother, I really didn't expect that mooncakes made with spinach juice and persimmons would be so beautiful, I've never seen such beautiful ones." Where are the mooncakes?"

Mrs. Zhang opened her mouth wide, and the saliva dripped down, she hastily wiped the saliva with her sleeve, and said embarrassedly: "Mother, I just don't know what this mooncake tastes like, it looks delicious? "

Chen Yan'er, who was still angry with Mrs. Zhang just now, smelled the scent and immediately came over, staring her eyes in astonishment and said, "Auntie, did you make this?"

Mrs. Zhang continued Chen Yaner's topic and said: "Of course my mother made it. You don't know. My mother's craftsmanship is one of the best in our village. Even your mother may not be able to make such beautiful mooncakes." ?”

At this point, Chen Yan'er acquiesced, she nodded: "Well, I believe it, I took back the steamed stuffed bun made by my aunt last time, and my mother ate it, and she couldn't stop praising my aunt for her craftsmanship."

Yu Maimai was a hospitable person, and hurriedly cut a small mooncake, separated a piece, handed it to Chen Yan'er, and said with a smile: "Yan'er, try your aunt's handicraft."

Chen Yan'er blushed, took the mooncake from Yu Maimai's hand with embarrassment, and put it on her lips, eager to try it. Looking at the flower-like mooncake, she was not even willing to take a bite, but the floral fragrance of roses , it was so tempting that she couldn't help but took a bite, and immediately, it was soft and delicious, accompanied by a scent of flowers, which made her addictive.

"Well, auntie, it's delicious, it's really delicious, I've never eaten such a beautiful and delicious mooncake, auntie, can you teach me these cooking skills, I, I want to make delicious ones for you Brother Wenbing eat."

Chen Yan'er's small face suddenly turned red into a flower.

Mrs. Zhang immediately said: "Oh, look, this is really worthless. My aunt has raised you so much, and you didn't think about making something delicious for your aunt, but you wanted to learn crafts from my mother." It's really a white-eyed wolf to feed that heartless thing."

Seeing that Mrs. Zhang talked a lot, Yu Maimai gave Chen Yan'er a hard look, looked at Chen Yan'er and said, "Yan'er, ignore your sister-in-law, take this mooncake home and let your mother taste it."

Mrs. Zhang grinned immediately, and it was obvious that Mrs. Zhang was reluctant to give such delicious mooncakes to Aunt Chen.

Chen Yan'er said happily: "Auntie, thank you. I heard from my mother that the matter between me and Liu Wenbing is thanks to your help."

Yu Maimai was embarrassed, because she did not do anything. After saying this, Yu Maimai nodded and asked Ning to send Chen Yan'er out.

Mrs. Zhang looked displeased. She saw Chen Yan'er approaching her mother-in-law as soon as she left and said, "Mother, why? My Aunt Chen is not a good person. How can I give such a good mooncake to her? It's a pity for mooncakes." , maybe we can earn a little money when we take it to the market?"

Yu Maimai is not a very stingy person either. When she saw Mrs. Zhang talking like this, she stretched her face: "How can you talk like that? After all, we are also neighbors with your Aunt Chen, and she has talked to us a lot. , this Chen Yan'er is also a good girl, we are all neighbors, who can't use anyone?"

Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to speak anymore, and anyone who spoke would be contradicting her mother-in-law, so she nodded obediently, wrapped the mooncakes according to her mother-in-law's instructions, put them in a basket, and covered them with a clean cloth.

Yu Maimai threw the chopped potato sticks into the oil pan, sizzled, rolled over, and stirred again, the French fries that were just fried were golden and golden, and looked very nice .

In order to prepare to sell the French fries, Yu Maimai also specially prepared some paper bags, and the fried French fries were put into the paper bags one by one, and neatly stacked in the basket.

"Mom, shall we all go? Or should we leave one to watch the house?"

This time, Yu Maimai said unprecedentedly: "No, this time, we will all go to the market."

Ning walked in slowly, and put the bowls and chopsticks on the table on the chopping board: "Mother, are we sure we want to sell these mooncakes? If there are too many people who want them, how can we have so many?" It’s a troublesome process to make mooncakes with the same materials.”

Because of what Maimai decided, the eight cows could not be brought back.

"The ox cart is ready, we're leaving now."

"Don't worry about trouble, as long as the mooncakes sell well, we don't need to make buns, and I don't bother to compete with your second aunt for any business?"

On the bullock cart, the two daughters-in-law sat in the bullock cart, and you praised her mother-in-law one after another, but Yu Maimai seemed to have nothing to do with her.

In the market, there were people coming and going, and there were all types of businesses. Yu Maimai stopped the ox cart according to his usual habit, and got out of the ox cart with his two daughters-in-law at the entrance of the market.
