Chapter 60 Selling jelly ([-])
People who were building walls on the construction site ran out one after another and bought jelly at Liang Shuyan's stall.

"The jelly made by the woman at the door is really good. It's better than the cold water. A bowl costs five cents. It's delicious and you can take it home. I'll bring one for my mother after work!"

"Can I still take it home? Oh, that's a good thing. I thought you weren't allowed to take that bowl home?"

"What if you have a beautiful shell and close the lid so that even the soup won't spill out?"

Liang Shuyan did the math and found that most of the people here had already bought the jelly and took back the rest they could carry. The coolie men on the pier also bought the remaining jelly and steamed buns. I'm afraid I still need to look at the remaining jelly and steamed buns while walking. .

Jin Dashan sat on the stool and let out a sigh of relief. He was holding a money bag with one penny and two pennies and was counting the money, which was about to leak out.

Mrs. Zhang, however, said unhappily: "Okay, there are still so many steamed buns and jelly to buy. I hope you will be happy."

Liang Shuyan glanced at the bench on the ground: "Er Niu, return this bench to someone else. Let's move to another place to see if we can't sell these jelly noodles and steamed buns at night!"

Erniu responded and then returned the stool.

Dashan packed up everything and prepared to go to another place.

After struggling all morning, Liang Shuyan felt a little hungry and stopped at the door of a restaurant: "Let's wait for the two cows. When the two cows come, let's eat something first and then go sell it!"

Erniu trotted all the way and finally caught up with him: "Oh, mother, why are you walking so fast?"

"Isn't this waiting for you? Come on, let's eat something first."

Jin Dashan and Jin Erniu both experienced how difficult it was to make money, so they looked up at the signboard and lowered their voices: "Mom, let's not eat. Just eat two of our own steamed buns."

Liang Shuyan glared at them: "You two big men, even if you ate all the steamed buns in our basket, it was only half a package. Moreover, our steamed buns cost five cents each, how can we buy them for five cents?" If you don’t have a bowl of noodles, you really can’t even settle the account!”

Jin Erniu hesitated and said: "Mom, how do you calculate, settle accounts, Erniu, really, really can't do it, will you make mistakes?"

Jin Dashan touched his head, his face flushed: "Mom, can you go back and teach us how to settle accounts?"

Liang Shuyan nodded slightly: "This is nothing. Now that you understand it, go in and eat. Mom will teach you!"

The two sons nodded, and Mrs. Zhang quickly followed. The four of them entered the restaurant.

The waiter brought over a menu and handed it to Liang Shuyan: "Excuse me, what do you want to eat? This is the menu of our store."

Liang Shuyan took a look, pointed at the menu and said, "Then I'll have four bowls of noodles and a plate of fried pork slices!"

"okay!"

Mrs. Zhang whispered: "Mom, this plate of fried pork slices costs a lot of money, right? It's not easy for us to make money, or..."

"Stop it! When it's time to make money, work hard to make money. When it's time to eat, eat well. Why don't you eat when it's expensive? Then why do we work so hard to make money?"

Liang Shuyan brought over three pairs of chopsticks: "Look, how many pairs of chopsticks are these?" The two sons said without hesitation: "Three pairs."

"How many pairs are there?"

"Two!" Erniu answered first. Why would my mother ask them such a simple question?

Liang Shuyan glanced at Jin Erniu and asked again: "Tell me, how many chopsticks do we need for the number of us now?"

"Four pairs, one pair for each person!" Erniu said confidently!
But Jin Dashan shook his head: "No, mother asked how many, that is two four pairs added together, a total of eight!"

"Look, Erniu, your eldest brother can calculate such a simple question correctly, why can't you? It's not that you don't know how, but that you are too impatient. Listen first, then calculate!"

The waiter quickly served four bowls of noodles, and the aroma wafted over. Dashan's saliva flowed down, and he rolled it back with his tongue.

"Eat quickly. When you're done eating, we'll go back after selling out the remaining jelly."

Jin Dashan and Jin Erniu lowered their heads to cook. They finished such a delicious meal in one go, even the dregs at the bottom of the bowl.

The waiter in the restaurant was a young man. He smiled honestly and said, "Auntie, have you eaten yet?"

Liang Shuyan nodded: "After eating, is there a better school near you?"

"No one in our school in Qingfeng Town sends their children there. I heard that the teacher there has a bad reputation. As a parent, who is willing to send their children to a teacher with a bad reputation? Most people are still willing to send their children to Furong Town, the two towns are not far apart, but this school in Furong Town is famous. As long as they send their children to it, all of them will be excellent. I heard that many rich families send their children to it. Have you gone to the famous school in Furong Town?"

Liang Shuyan decided that she wanted to take her children to the entrance of this prestigious school to try. Selling the remaining jelly and steamed buns was one reason. The other important reason was to inquire and see if she could send her children to the school through some connections. Study in this school.

After leaving the noodle shop, she took her two sons and daughter-in-law towards the famous school.

Furong Town is really much better than Qingfeng Town. When you walk through the city gate, you can see many people gathering together to do business, shouting and shouting, and there are more horse-drawn carriages parked on the roadside than in Qingfeng Town. There are a lot of people, and there are constant boats coming and going on the pier, making it very prosperous and lively.

Jin Dashan and Jin Erniu seemed to have entered another world, looking here and there.

If you keep walking along the busiest main street, you will see the famous school.

This school was founded in Furong Town. The requirements for teachers are very strict. You have to pass three exams to become a teacher in the prestigious academy. After becoming a teacher, each person will be paid 30 cents, which is what many people expect. A high-income avenue.

The children who study in the prestigious school are all children from wealthy families. They are all well-dressed and well-off, or they are poached from other schools because the students are particularly outstanding.

At the entrance of the school, there are also many small vendors, selling books, papers, and various snacks. In short, it seems to be much more lively than in a small market in Qingfeng Town.

In order to avoid being kicked out by the school management, Liang Shuyan chose to set up a stall on the opposite side of the road far away from the school. According to the old method, Erniu went to a nearby place to rent tables and stools, and Zhang and Jin Dashan used the stalls. Everything was laid out.

Liang Shuyan was sitting on a stone. She wanted to rest for a while, but Mrs. Zhang was the first to shout: "They are selling jelly. They are delicious and beautiful jelly steamed buns. If you pass by, don't miss it!"
