The journey of giving birth to a son

Chapter 22 Preparing to Make Mooncakes

"Girl, don't be afraid!" Agent Chen's mother said, "My family has lived here for three generations, and no one has dared to come and make trouble. Please wait for my son to come back and deal with him!"

"Wu Erniu, if you drink a little cat urine, you won't know how high the sky is. Get out of here quickly. My uncle won't be able to spare you when he comes back!"

"Who is your uncle?" Wu Erniu was so drunk that he couldn't remember the person at all. When he saw that the door couldn't be opened, he walked to Jiang Shiyi's stall and threw away all the potato slices, bean sprouts, and tofu on the stall. He reached the ground and stepped on it with his feet.

The customer who was eating noodles at the stall called for Agent Chen's eldest brother. Agent Chen's eldest brother escorted Wu Erniu to the Yamen. Wu Erniu was a little scared when he sobered up. He begged bitterly along the way, "Brother, I was wrong! Brother! Please spare me!"

Jiang Kejian and Shen Yuniang returned home. Shen Yuniang looked anxiously at her daughter, "Where is the burn? Let me see!"

Seeing that her daughter was fine, Shen Yunniang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Hui again. Jiang Hui's feet were burned red, but it was no serious problem after applying medicine.

"Mom, don't be anxious!" Jiang Shiyi advised. Shen Yunniang has not been in good health since the death of her eldest son.

Shen Yunniang patted her chest, "I'll be scared to death after hearing about it!"

These two children are her spiritual support. If anything happens to her, Shen Yunniang really doesn't want to live anymore.

Jiang Shiyi came to the stall and found that today's business could not be done. The pots and basins were also smashed, and the stove could not be used.

Jiang Hui cried while cleaning up.

"Okay, don't cry!" Jiang Shiyi advised.

"It's all useless. We won't be able to set up a stall in the future! Woohoo!" Although it was very hard to set up a stall with her sister, and she would get up early and work late every day, but Jiang Hui was still very satisfied with making money every day.

Jiang Shiyi wiped Jiang Hui's tears, "It's okay! We can do other things! We can also make a lot of money!"

"Yes!" Jiang Hui nodded and carefully put the pots and pans on the trolley.

The next morning, Jiang Shiyi got up and found a person kneeling outside the yard, Wu Erniu's little wife, "Girl! Girl! It's my shopkeeper's fault. He drank. He won't go crazy if he doesn't drink! Please!" Please, go and speak for us and let him come out!"

"If he enters the Yamen, wouldn't it be better if he doesn't beat you in the future?" Jiang Shiyi was a little hard to understand, "It's his fault, what are you asking me to do?"

"You know, it's not easy for my shopkeeper. The whole family depends on him! Please, can you help me?"

"He doesn't do any work all day long. What's not easy? Can't you work hard by yourself when he's gone? Can't you support yourself and your children? You should get divorced!"

"What kind of person can Li and I find? He won't hit me when he's not drinking!" The young daughter-in-law shook her head repeatedly.

Jiang Shiyi was completely speechless. The little daughter-in-law was crying and holding the thinly dressed little girl in her arms. She looked very pitiful.

In this era, women are so helpless.

Jiang Shiyi sighed and told Manager Chen that Wu Erniu paid compensation for the losses and was released from the Yamen.

Jiang Shiyi rested at home for a few days and stopped setting up a stall. Wu Erniu's business was a little better and he stopped beating his wife. However, after Jiang Shiyi stopped setting up a stall, more and more people set up stalls on the street. , Wu Erniu was very angry, and when he was angry, he would take it out on his wife and children.

A few days later, Jiang Shiyi saw the little daughter-in-law coming again, "What can I do for you?"

Jiang Shiyi didn't like this little daughter-in-law very much. She felt sorry for her misfortune and refused to argue with her mother.

"Girl, are you not going to set up a stall?"

Jiang Shiyi nodded, "What's wrong?" The little daughter-in-law stammered for a long time, "The business at my stall is always bad! The shopkeeper has a bad temper. Can you tell me your secret recipe? "

Jiang Shiyi didn't want to say it, but she looked at the poor child and sighed in her heart, wishing that if she gave him the secret recipe, her family's business would be better, and the mother and son wouldn't have to be beaten!

Jiang Shiyi wrote down the secret recipe, "Here it is for you!"

The little daughter-in-law took the secret recipe and left with a lot of gratitude.

"Sister, what should we do next?"

After not making any money for several days in a row, Jiang Hui, a little money addict, couldn't sit still.

"Sister, are you thinking of a solution?"

"Sister, I must think of a good way, so that they can't imitate it this time." Jiang Shiyi laughed after hearing Jiang Hui's words.

As for what to do next, Jiang Shiyi has already thought about it. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and every household must eat moon cakes.

Jiang Shiyi took Jiang Hui to the street. Making mooncakes was much more complicated. Needless to say, there were all kinds of materials. There were also models to make and an oven. He had to do some research before talking about it.

Jiang Shiyi passed by the alley, and there was only his daughter-in-law. Her business had not improved at all, and there were only a few people coming to eat. She greeted her enthusiastically, "Girl, come here and have a bowl of noodles!"

Jiang Shiyi sat down and ate a bowl of noodles. The portion was very small and the soup tasted very bland. "What kind of soup did you use? Why is there no flavor at all?"

The little daughter-in-law hesitated and said, "The chicken soup is too expensive, so I added some more water to it."

"Then you should order more noodles. There are a lot of people around here who are working hard. How can we work if we don't have enough to eat?"

"The shopkeeper said that if we put more noodles in, we will lose money."

Jiang Shiyi stopped talking. The soup base was not good and the noodles were small. What about the dishes? Jiang Shiyi sighed dryly.

"No need to pay!" the little daughter-in-law said hurriedly.

Jiang Shiyi still put down twenty copper coins.

Jiang Shiyi happily looked at the custom-made mooncake mold. She had drawn the pattern in advance and asked Agent Chen to find a skilled carpenter to make the mold.

Among the molds of different colors and shapes, there are two that are engraved with flowers such as the full moon and eternity, four that are carved with flowers of various colors, such as osmanthus and lily, and two that are printed with Chang'e, Jade Rabbit,... add up There are eight styles of molds in total.

There are also oil paper, hemp rope, and gift boxes used to package mooncakes. The paper boxes are painted with laurel trees, jade rabbits, and the moon palace Chang'e, creating a perfect and sweet feeling.

After Jiang Shiyi and Jiang Hui returned from making large and small bags, the oven was also ready.

The oven was in the fashionable style nowadays. It was square and square, with a rectangular baking pan in the middle, which could be used to place charcoal. There were also hollow holes at the bottom to facilitate the falling of coal ash. There was also a shallow base plate at the bottom, which was just right. Catch the falling soot.

Jiang Kejian rolled up his sleeves and looked at the oven up and down with ashes still on his face.

"Just spoil her!" Shen Yunniang said while standing on the steps.

To make mooncakes, you must have an oven, custard mooncakes, snowskin mooncakes, lotus paste mooncakes, and ham mooncakes. Thinking of these, Jiang Shiyi swallowed his saliva.
