Chapter 45

The big market in the town is held every five days.The 26th of the twelfth lunar month is the last big episode of the year.

Since the last time she went to the town to sell dim sum, Lianzi went there with her parents twice, and the results were just as she thought, getting better and better.Many of the past purchases are repeat customers.

Mrs. Yang also became more and more happy, the money spent like running water was finally not in vain.Although it is only a small stall in the market, the capital is small and the profit is small, but after careful calculation, the money earned is several times more than that of selling peanuts.

The peanuts produced in their own fields have already been used up a lot. Lianzi looks at the situation and estimates that there will be not enough peanuts until the Lantern Festival.

She wanted to go to another place to buy some more, but after thinking about it again and again, making this dim sum is similar to shopkeeper Zhang selling roasted seeds and nuts, and it is only the most prosperous during the New Year's Eve.

What's more, after the New Year's Eve, after the beginning of spring, there is spring plowing, field management, and endless work at home, so I can't take care of it at all.And when summer comes, the snacks are not easy to sell, and they are not easy to put away, so there is no certainty that one day they will lose a lot of money in vain.

In this way, I plan to use all the peanuts produced by myself. If the sales are booming and I have free time, I can make some other snacks instead.For example, desserts such as cakes, she can make them after thinking about them and experimenting.

After the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, only 28 is the most suitable for walking.Yang planned to return to her mother's house on 28, so taking advantage of this last episode, she bought all the items.

For the ruler head that was pulled last time, Mrs. Yang worked on it with a lamp for several nights before it was considered finished.This time I went to the market, I brought all the children there, they are all girls, cute, I was wronged a few years ago, but now life is better, I should buy more things for them.

The eldest sister, Guzi, will be eleven after the new year, and today she is still wearing the plain skirt and jacket she usually wears.Her skin was slightly dark, but her face had a healthy rosy glow.

The second sister, Douzi, is only one year younger than Guzi, and she will be ten years old after the new year.She was tall, and Lianzi thought she was the tallest of the four sisters.Dou Zi doesn't like to talk much at ordinary times, he just follows Gu Zi and helps Mrs. Yang with the housework.She is also wearing the same homely clothes as Guzi today, with a look of joy on her fair and ruddy face.

Lizi was different. Hearing that he was going to the market, he was excited in the middle of the night last night. He took Guzi and Douzi to the market to buy this and that, and then took Lianzi to tell her what good things there were in the market.Before Yang Shi and Liu Jingren got up, she got up with a grunt, put on the new clothes that Yang Shi had just made, and went to wash and wash herself without anyone calling, and even put them on her buns. There are two bright red velvet flowers.

"Hey, look at you." Seeing that Li Zi had put on new clothes, Yang said with a helpless smile, "Be careful, you can't get dirty, or you won't wear them until the new year."

"Understood," Li Zi agreed, then poked his head over the edge of the water tank, looked at the reflection in the water, and carefully arranged his hair.

It was still pitch black outside, because the family was going to seize the stall, and the family didn't care about eating. Yang wrapped the stick noodle pancakes that had been warming in the big pot with a cage cloth, and brought some pickles, ready to go on the road eat.

When winter comes, Lianzi is very afraid of the cold. At this time, she is huddled in the corner of the ox cart, wrapped tightly in a ragged cotton jacket that Mrs. Yang left, and her legs are covered with a straw quilt specially used for the cart.

After arriving in the town, it was still daylight, Liu Jingren drove the ox cart to show, and then hurriedly took the things, and the family went to the market, and finally occupied a pretty good stall.

The closer the year is, the more snacks are sold.This time I brought a total of more than 50 catties, and in a short while, a lot of them were sold.

Many of the customers who come to buy here are repeat customers, and some come to buy after hearing that the dim sum here is delicious.Mrs. Yang warmly greeted the guests who came over. The things still cost forty yuan a catty, but if she bought too much, she would add an extra one or two yuan.In this way, all the customers who came to buy came back satisfied, and many people asked them when they would come back next time.

Before noon, several baskets of snacks were sold out.

Yang gave the last two yuan to the last person who bought it for free, and after sending him away with a smile, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his slightly sore waist, heaved a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's all right this time, let's go. "

Liu Jingren agreed with a smile, and began to pack his things.

When they were closing the stall and preparing to go back, they suddenly heard someone asking, "Is this place selling peanut snacks?"

"Yeah, it's just that—" Yang looked up, and was about to say that it was sold out, but unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.

"Happy Chinese New Year, Uncle." Lianzi sighed inwardly, but still greeted him with a sweet smile.

This person is none other than a manager surnamed Wang in shopkeeper Zhang's shop.

The dim sum she sold this time can be sold very well in shopkeeper Zhang's shop, but Lianzi deliberately didn't let him know.Although it may be possible to make more money by virtue of the reputation of his shop, but the lotus seeds have lotus seeds, and if they are sold at his place, they will be branded with the name "Zhang Ji", not her lotus seeds.

Guanshi Wang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Who did I think it was, so it was you."

Although these words were casual, Lianzi felt unreasonably uncomfortable when he heard them, and felt guilty for no reason.However, she thought for a moment, what's the point of selling her own things.

"That's right, we made our own dim sum, but it's a pity that it's sold out today, so I'll definitely bring some to my uncle some other day." She replied smoothly.

Steward Wang laughed and said, "What an obedient doll", and then said to Liu Jingren, "It's my young master. I don't know who told me that there is a dim sum stall here, which is very delicious. Madam let me come and see Look, buy some."

It turned out to be that guy Zhang Zihe, and Lianzi messed with him again in her heart, every time something bad happened to him, it was him.

"What a coincidence, it was sold out just now," Yang said apologetically, and then said, "Young Master Zuo Zuo goes to school in our village. When he wants to eat, he will go home. I will make whatever he likes. what kind."

Steward Wang waved his hand and said, "You're being polite, let's talk about it later."

After sending off Steward Wang, Lianzi's family was busy collecting the stalls again, when suddenly someone asked, "Are you all sold out?"

Lianzi raised her head and saw a benevolent old man, about 50 years old, wearing a neat black cloth shirt.

"That's right, this uncle, it's just a coincidence that it was sold out just now." Yang's expression was apologetic again.

The old man smiled slightly and said: "That's really a coincidence. My young master bought your dim sum before and liked it very much. Let me buy some more today. Hehe, what a coincidence."

It's the young master again, which family's young master?There are many young masters coming and going here, and there are also many rich and noble families who have bought her snacks, how can I know which young master it is.Lianzi thought to herself, and then said with a smile: "Grandpa, we will come again after the Chinese New Year. You can just come again when we meet on the sixth day of the lunar new year. I will ask my mother to keep it for you."

The old man was silent for a moment, finally nodded and said: "That's the only way, then please leave five catties for me."

"Hey, fine, I'll definitely remember." Yang nodded.

It's really lively. In a short time, there are two people who want to buy.

After packing up the things, Liu Jingren entrusted the people next to him to look after them, and then the family wandered around in the market.

If you want to go back to your natal family, you must have meat, fish, wine and noodle pancakes.These things are heavy and inconvenient to carry, so I plan to buy them last.Yang Shi and Liu Jingren took their four children first, found a clean small restaurant, had a meal, and then went to Jishang.

I bought two exquisite head flowers for each of the children, and at the begging of Li Zi, I bought a small box of rouge, and then I went to the vegetable store.

There are few vegetables in winter, and only radishes and cabbage come and go. There are almost no other types, and even if there are, the price is dead high.

When the family was separated, there was no vegetable garden. Seeing that the family yard was spacious, Yang dug the ground and planted some vegetables in the yard, which also saved the money for buying vegetables.

I bought three dishes of meat this year, and I sent one to my natal family, and I will definitely send one to my hometown, and I have to keep one for myself.When buying meat, Lianzi asked Yang to negotiate the price, and asked the butcher who sold the meat to give them some big pig bones along the way.Pork bones are a good thing. The stewed soup is not only nutritious, but if you add a little when cooking, the taste will be much more delicious immediately.

After buying everything, the family went to the previous stall to pick up things, and then they planned to go home.

Li Zi held the box of rouge tightly in his hand, opened it for a while, closed it again for a while, looked over and over, and occasionally used his fingers to carefully dab a little bit of rouge on his cheeks.

Lianzi looked at her several times with contempt, but Lizi turned her head away, ignored her, and continued to play with the treasure in her hand.

The place where the bullock cart stops is not far away, and it doesn't take much to get there.

As soon as Lianzi put the things in her hand into the car, she heard someone calling her.

Looking back, he saw that it was Su Kewen who called her, and the one next to him was naturally Su Keyan.

When Su Keyan saw him, a smile appeared on his face, and he and Su Kewen walked towards them.

"Why are you here?" Su Kewen glanced at Lianzi's ox cart and asked.

Lianzi pointed to the basket on the car and said, "We're here to sell dim sum. Look, they're all sold out."

"What kind of snacks? Is it delicious?" He asked again, after all, he was only a six-year-old child, with only eyes on eating and playing.

Lianzi pinched his pink face: "Of course, it's delicious."

Su Kewen reached out and brushed away Lianzi's hand that pinched his face. He didn't like Lianzi pinching his face the most.Really, she was only a year older than him, yet she had to pretend like she was much older than him.

If Lianzi knew what was going on in his heart, he would probably go crazy.

"When you go back, eat at my house. It's delicious." Lianzi looked at Su Keyan and smiled.

Su Keyan nodded: "Okay."

"Why are you out today?" she asked.

Su Keyan pointed to the direction behind him, and said: "I went with my mother and grandmother to offer incense at Lingyan Temple over there, they stopped by the shop, Kewen and I went out for a walk, just happened to meet you. "

"Oh, what a coincidence." Lianzi laughed.She had heard that Su Keyan's family used to do business in this town. There must be quite a few shops, but she didn't know which one.

"When will you go back?"

Su Keyan knew what day Lianzi was asking about going back to school, so he said, "Not sure, grandma wants me to go back after fifteen."

It's still fifteen years later, Lianzi couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, she really wanted Su Keyan to taste the dim sum made with her idea right away.

Lianzi was about to tell him what she had done these days, when someone said: "Master, it's time to go back."

Lianzi looked over there, and saw that it was Su Keyan's servant, Lu Kun, following a small green cloth sedan chair, the curtain of which was half closed, Lianzi could see a gorgeously dressed woman and a woman with combed hair. Cute little girl with a bun.

 It's another new week, let's work together!
