Sweet Garden Bliss

Chapter 18 The First Pot of Gold

Bai Er Er trotted into the house amidst the waiting and expecting eyes.

"Sister-in-law - sister-in-law -", she couldn't see anyone else in her eyes, and ran towards Ah Yuan directly.

It reminded Ah Yuan of the song that was popular in his previous life: sister-in-law, sister-in-law, dark sister--

This cry seemed to be Bai Er Er's first expression of kindness.

"How is it? Can a blacksmith do it?" Ah Yuan didn't calm down after all, and walked out of the kitchen quickly.

Bai Er Er stood at the door panting, opened his clenched hand and stretched it out in front of Ah Yuan.

It's an iron thimble.

The width, thickness, and length are all in accordance with A Yuan's requirements. The joints of the ring can be adjusted again. Small dents are made on the outside of the thimble, which is black and shiny, like a hidden weapon used by a martial arts master.

Ah Yuan was overjoyed, carefully picked up the thimble, and put it on the middle finger of his right hand, it just fit, and it was firmly wrapped under the first knuckle.

On the thimble, the temperature and humidity of Bai Lao's second-hand heart are still preserved.

"Sister-in-law, I am looking for the old blacksmith Li from Lijia Village. He is honest and not bluffing." Bai Er Er's eyes were shining, and he licked his dry lips and continued to show off: "This item doesn't cost much iron, he thinks it's worth it." I made two identical sets for my mother-in-law, and I agreed, but he didn't charge any money."

Bai Laoer's other hand also reached out, and when he opened it, his fingers were still clasped inward, as if he was extremely reluctant to part with it.

Ah Yuan smiled like a flower, and didn't go to pick up the same sweaty copper coins in the second hand, but continued to look into his eyes expectantly.

This fellow is the most shrewd one in the Bai family, and he must have benefited from more than just such a cheap one.

Sure enough, there is a follow-up.

Bai Laoer blinked his eyes, glanced at the warm copper coins in his hand, and confessed thoroughly: "We also agreed, wait for the needle and awl to be polished, if there is no need to improve, continue to do it, I will be in charge of the takeaway, earn money The money, the two of us will split—”

Sure enough, I saw the right person!

Ah Yuan smiled more happily, with sincere appreciation in his eyes: "Second brother, you are awesome! I will leave this matter to you. In the future, how to save investment and maximize profits, my family will listen to you Commander, these copper coins are our family's first investment, I will make a record and leave it for you to continue to turn around!"

Although there are a few key words in this sentence, everyone doesn't quite understand, but the basic meaning can still be understood. Bai Laoer only thinks that the hard work of an afternoon is worth it, but it is a pity that he can't recite "Ma Shuo", Otherwise, there will be the feeling that Maxima has met Bole.

The younger brothers and sisters in the room also knew that Bai Lao Er had made great contributions, and they were inquiring about the inside story of "thimble" with a smile. Lian immediately relaxed her vigilance.

"Chengzong, sit down and try the sweet potato balls made by your sister-in-law—" Boss Bai began to greet everyone for dinner, with a simple and honest smile that seemed to grow on his face, and he couldn't take it off.

At this time, the Bai family was much warmer than the crying scene in the morning. The patriarch, who was under 20 years old, felt that the atmosphere was very comfortable.

The peasants in the small farmyard do not pay attention to "eating without talking, sleeping without talking", commenting on the crispy wild vegetable pancakes and dried stewed fish, and chatting about some jokes in the village, the family had a very happy dinner .

Two small buns rounded up the remaining sweet potato balls, and Ah Yuan also put down the perfect sea bowl representing the noble status, and gave the second order since the butler on the messy dining table.

"Now, Cailian and Awen are in charge of cleaning up the dishes. I want to steam another pot of sweet potatoes. Chengguang takes his second and third younger brothers to make bamboo sticks. The sharp end needs to be polished so that they can be used to skewer meatballs. At least, tonight. There are two hundred sticks that need to be polished. Also, find three upright wooden sticks, tie them with grass handles, wrap them around a few more times, and put bamboo sticks on them. I plan to make them early in the morning. 'Glass balls' to sell."

This is a more feasible method of sale that Ah Yuan has decided upon after much deliberation. The meatballs are fried, no matter how they are installed, they are not suitable for decoration, and there are no beautiful household items. It is best to use the method of selling candied haws in the previous life, holding a straw Walking around the streets saves you the trouble of doing publicity.

Hehehe, just think about it, the glazed balls hung with sugar juice are crystal clear like candied haws, and they will definitely attract the attention of children. Then, isn't this shiny copper coin easy to grab?

This season, just doing this business, the sugar juice is not easy to melt, but it is still not cold and no one goes to the street.

The two young ones basically don't use their brains, the sister-in-law does what she says, the third child Bai glances at the eldest child, the eldest child Bai naturally wants to continue to save face for his wife, and immediately goes to pick up wooden sticks and bamboo sticks without even asking about the details up.

In front of the house and behind the house, this thing is useful!

Bai Er was used to being a thorn in the head, but this time he just won the praise of his sister-in-law, so he didn't ask any more questions.

The oil lamps were lit, and each of them went to do their own work, and finally, they all gathered in the main room.

Ah Yuan and the two younger ones also joined the team of making bamboo sticks. While working non-stop, they told everyone about their original intention of making these things.

An excellent team must at least be good at communicating with each other.

"Sister-in-law, I'm thinking, if this meatball is easy to sell tomorrow, we can also add a few more types and let people choose as they please, that's even better!" Bai Laosan kept working, but his mind was running fast.

The prickly-headed white child gave Ah Yuan some face, so he may not be able to get used to giving it to others. People who are used to picking up prickly people immediately counterattacked: "In addition to this pile of sweet potatoes, our family only has wild vegetables and fish sticks to satisfy our hunger. You take What do you mean people pick at will?"

"The third and the second are well said!" Ah Yuan got up "huh", waving his hands like a demon: "Why didn't I think of it! We can also make wild vegetable balls, fish balls, white noodles Meatballs, Zamian meatballs——, come up with a variety of flavors, there will always be a popular one, right? Haha, let’s make candied haws into balls, gourds, salty gourds, and spicy gourd strings!”

The whole family was staring, not fully understanding this little woman who was dancing under the dim light. Even Bai Laosan, who had some ink in his stomach, was still wondering: "This is the legendary Qi Tongsheng who doesn't come out of the house. Is it Miss Jiao Didi who doesn't step forward? Why is she getting less and less like her?"

On the first day of marriage, where is Miss Qi, who was crying and making noises, looking for her own life?

Is it this little daughter-in-law full of passion and hope?

Everyone started working, and the two hundred bamboo sticks were finally completed. Ah Yuan checked the new equipment, and with a firm heart, he waved his little hand: "Go to sleep! You have to get up early tomorrow."

After receiving the amnesty, everyone in the Bai family yawned and went out. This day was busy and busy, but everyone was very excited.

There were only two elders and husband and wife left, and Ah Yuan could no longer care about the image problem, she leaned on the kang and said: "Morrow—call me—wake up early—".I don't even want to take off my clothes, I just want to lie flat and fall asleep as soon as possible.

This body is weak, sore and tired everywhere.

In the haze, a big hand helped him take off his clothes, and the warm cloth wiped his hands, face, and feet——

Sadly, this guy is not using the same cloth towel again, is he?

Ah Yuan frowned in his sleep, but finally did not jump up to protest, the meeting with Zhou Gong was still very comfortable.

Oh, Duke Zhou is more greedy for money than Ah Yuan!Look, in this dream, the bright lights are sweet potato balls, copper coins, or silver?

It's a pity that before he saw it clearly, the conscientious Boss Bai started to call Ah Yuan back to reality.

The sky was still only dim.

"Daughter-in-law, if you are really sleepy, just lie down for a while—" Boss Bai felt embarrassed again.

"Forget it, the more you lie down, the more you don't want to get up—" Ah Yuan patted her face, made up her mind, and summoned up this weak body.

After washing her hands and face with cold water, Ah Yuan ran to the stove. The steamed sweet potatoes from last night had been cooled down. Boss Bai peeled the skins and prepared the noodles. Ah Yuan lit the fire again, took all the leftovers from yesterday—half a jar of oil, and " Guddu" fell down.

According to the procedure of yesterday's experiment, it is already handy. When all the guys in the kitchen are filled with sweet potato balls, and the oil base in the pot is really not suitable for frying, Ah Yuan just stopped.

Pour the oil base into a pot of prepared broom vegetables, and together with steamed sweet potatoes, it will be a hearty breakfast for everyone this morning.

"Go and wake everyone up, you have to get busy after dinner." A Yuan didn't even lift his head, and started the next key step.

Boss Bai was "roaring like a lion" in the courtyard, and soon, the lively energy of big and small came out.

Boss Bai was watching the heat, and Ah Fang was putting a small amount of water and sugar into the pot.

Boil the sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly.When the color of the syrup changes, immediately remove the heat, quickly put in the sweet potato balls, stir, and make sure that each ball is coated with the syrup.

Bai Laosan joined in and was responsible for putting the balls into the basin and separating them as soon as possible, otherwise they would stick together and affect the appearance.

It was already daylight.

The members of the Bai family, who had had a full breakfast, worked together to string the crystal clear "glass balls" onto the bamboo sticks polished last night.

Because everyone is a novice, and the materials are not uniform, the bamboo sticks are long and short.

"It's just right, leave room for your hands to grab. It's okay to string a few less. These are very short, and you can use them. Just string one, for those who are reluctant to spend money to try." Ah Yuan arranged in an orderly manner, and the next sentence , Let everyone almost choke collectively.

"It's good to sell a meatball for a penny, and you can settle the score."

This is not money grabbing, is it?Boss Bai was the first to have doubts: "Daughter-in-law, a penny and a meatball are expensive—a bit expensive!"

How can a small thing that can't even fill the gaps between the teeth be sold for a penny?The honest and kind farmer can't accept it!
