After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

Chapter 19 Mulberry Jam
Su Xiaomu patted his chest confidently, Gu Ruonan's eyes immediately lit up when he thought of bringing delicious food to show off to his friends!
She couldn't wait to get close to Su Xiaomu, and said expectantly: "I...I want to be the first to get it!"

"Okay, I'll give it to you right away when I'm done."

Su Xiaomu rubbed Gu Ruonan's head with a smile, then looked at Gu Ruotong and smiled.

She can more or less guess some.

It is true that Mrs. Chen likes her son, and Mrs. Li also favors her younger son.

But Su Xiaomu believes that in Li's heart, they are all grandchildren, and they may love them in different degrees, but they will not be too biased.

When they returned home, Yin and Chen went to the river to wash clothes, Mr. Gu followed his two sons to farm, and Li sat in the yard watching his two grandsons play.

As soon as Su Xiaomu entered the door, he greeted him first, and then went to the kitchen to make mulberry sauce.

She washed a clay pot and set it aside to dry.

After picking the mulberries, soak them in salt water. After about a quarter of an hour, carefully pull out the stems, wash them with clean water, and dry the surface moisture.

Put water and a little sugar in the pot, put the mulberries in and cook together, first turn on medium heat and boil until the water boils, then take some wood out to lower the fire temperature, crush the mulberries with a spatula and stir while stirring.

Probably after the sauce in the pot becomes thick, it can be put into clay pots and let it cool down.

After finishing the mulberry sauce, Su Xiaomu took out the chili sauce that he had made in the morning, and took some for dinner.

She didn't go to sell pancakes for a few days. She didn't know if everyone would still praise her. In addition, she was still in the stage of getting used to the taste, so she didn't make so many chili sauces this time.

In the evening, I spread a few egg and wild vegetable cakes, fried a plate of pork and cabbage, and boiled a pot of white rice porridge. After dividing the mulberry sauce for the children, the rest are put on the table, which can be added to the porridge. .

"Xiaomu."

Just after dinner, Mrs. Li looked at her and Mrs. Yin before she took her chopsticks and said, "Uncle Wang from the village head went to the city today. He said that the gangsters who caused trouble before were all arrested by the government and sent to prison. The management is strict, and I don’t know how much safer than before, so Mother thought, should you continue to sell cakes.”

After all, every day is a considerable income, and Li Shi doesn't want to miss it.

"Of course, if you want to wait another two days, Mother agrees."

"It's okay, we always have to trust the government, people say it's safe now, can you still lie to us?"

Su Xiaomu had long wanted to go to the city to make money, so she agreed immediately after exchanging glances with Yin Shi.

"Okay, then mother will knead the cake with your sister-in-law tomorrow morning."

Li frowned and let go, and she put a chopstick of meat into Su Xiaomu's bowl with satisfaction: "Young people just want to eat more, and have two bowls of porridge tonight."

"what?"

Su Xiaomu didn't know how to answer the conversation right now.

She and Yin shi both went to bed early that night, and arrived at the gate of the city the next day before it opened.

There is no way, who knows that today is just going to the market, there are many people doing business, if you don't catch up early, I'm afraid there won't even be a place for them.

As soon as the city gate opened, they went to the market in a hurry, finally got a good seat, Su Xiaomu and Yin had to do business separately.

There were a lot of people passing by, so Su Xiaomu didn't go to the end of the street to sell. She just found a nice place to stand and started yelling.

"Sell cakes! Delicious egg cakes!"

She has a loud voice and she is willing to show her face, and the egg pancakes are really delicious, so most passers-by are willing to stop and have a look.

But as soon as a few were sold, Su Xiaomu heard someone calling her.

"The boss hasn't come for several days!"

Su Xiaomu's business is in full swing at the moment, and the guests coming and going are all calling for the boss. She looked up reflexively, and her smile was several degrees brighter than that of ordinary guests.

"I haven't seen Mr. Zhou for so long. Are you studying hard in the academy?"

After wrapping the cake for the last guest, she picked up an oil paper bag and waved to Zhou Lin: "How many do you want this time?"

"Give me the rest of your rounds, and I'll take them back for my classmates to eat."

Zhou Lin folded the fan in his hand, and a charming smile appeared on his face: "It's still the same sentence, if the boss has any new products, if you have anything you want to sell, you can come to the academy to find me. The boss is good at craftsmanship, and my classmates can all Full of praise for your cakes."

"Young master is absurd. The little girl is just a peasant woman. How can she afford such a compliment from the young master? But when it comes to making cakes, the little girl thinks she has more experience than others. If the young master really wants to take care of the little girl for a long time in the future For women's business, it's better to come to the market more often."

Packed all the cakes and handed them to Zhou Lin, only to find Yin Shi when he was far away.

On the other side, Zhou Lin immediately went back to the academy with the cake in hand. He took one and gnawed on it and said to Gu Jingcheng, "It's the little lady who sold cakes in the market, the one you said you saved her, she's back now Continue to sell."

"So courageous?"

Gu Jingcheng frowned, he put the cakes on the table beside him, and then continued to pick up and write articles.

Even though he was a little hungry at the moment, if he didn't finish the homework of the day, he would never satisfy his appetite first.

After the last word was written and he was very satisfied after reading the whole text, he first poured himself a cup of tea to moisten his throat, and then picked up a cake to eat.

After taking a bite, I found that the taste was not the same as the previous days.

"It seems the taste has changed."

He took another bite and found that the taste of the sauce had also changed.

"The boss said to put some sugar, but these are not important anymore. I admire this little lady more and more now. She is really a... Strange person who doesn't even risk her life just to make money."

After swallowing the last bite of cake, Zhou Lin said inarticulately again: "Anyway, as long as she sells cakes for a day, I will take care of her business for a day."

"It's really a big mistake."

Gu Jingcheng also resolved it with a few words.

Although this food is delicious, if you eat it every day, every meal, no matter how delicious it is, it will be tasteless after a long time.

Gu Jingcheng originally planned to read a book after dinner, but the school boy said that someone was looking for him outside the door.

He secretly estimated the time in his heart, and it was almost the day when his family would give him something.

Going out to have a look, she really has a bundle in her arms, looking at the things in her hands, it seems that she still has something to eat.

"Uncle Three."

When meeting Gu Jingcheng, Yin always hesitates and doesn't know what to say.

Seeing Gu Jingcheng's cold brows and eyes, and his refusal to be thousands of miles away, she felt even more frightened.

I could only hand him the bundle with trembling hands and said: "This is what my mother told me before I left. There are some changes of clothes inside, and... there are some handkerchiefs that your second sister-in-law knitted for you."

In addition to weaving handkerchiefs to sell, Mrs. Chen is also responsible for the sweat towels that Gu Jingcheng needs in the academy.

"Don't be so troublesome."

After listening to Yin's words, the coldness on Gu Jingcheng's face melted a little: "If there are no accidents, I will be able to go home with Xiu Mu tomorrow."
