Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 40 Business is booming
The rude actions of the Huang family brothers stunned all the guests in the room. Seeing that the incident was getting serious, they all came over to dissuade them.

Mrs. Zhao was so angry that her chest hurt. Looking at the happy day, the table was lifted by the two murderous brothers, and the dishes were broken all over the floor. Isn't this a curse for their family to be destroyed?
The resentment accumulated these days exploded to the peak in an instant. Zhao's eyes were red, staring at the two brothers like a raging wolf, and fiercely picked up the broken pieces and stabbed them.

Everyone was in a cold sweat from fright, and rushed forward to stop the crazy Mrs. Zhao, it would be very unlucky if they saw blood on such a happy day!

Mrs. Zhao was stopped, thumping and wanting to continue, cursing, even the ancestors of the [-]th generation of the Huang family came out to greet her.

This farce ended when the Huang family was so angry that Zhao's fainted on the spot!
It's a happy event, but it's messed up, it's not a marriage, it's an enemy!
Zhang Xiaocao didn't know about all this, but Aunt Liu later told it as a joke.

After returning from Zhang's house, Zhang Xiaocao and Grandma Zhang made glutinous rice cakes together. To be on the safe side, they only made three catties of glutinous rice flour, which used one catty of Chengfen and one catty of red bean paste.

After finishing, Zhang Xiaocao roughly calculated that there are 120 glutinous rice cakes made from these things, and the cost is about two yuan per three, so the cost is really high. If you want to make money , the price cannot be set too low, but if it is set high, others may not be willing to eat it.

After thinking about it for a long time, and discussing it with grandma, Zhang Xiaocao finally decided, five cents a piece.

Grandma Zhang frowned and thought for a while, then hesitated: "Is it too expensive? I think it's about the same for a couple of cents!"

Zhang Xiaocao shook her head and said earnestly: "Grandma, this thing is vaguely expensive! This glutinous rice cake is sold by our family, and there must be people who try it out. Those in the town who really know how to eat it will not think it is expensive! If The price is too low, and those who are used to eating good things will feel that this thing is cheap and not worthy of their status!"

She also went to the town several times, and gradually got to know this unremarkable town. Although the size of this town is smaller than those of the ordinary county towns in her previous life, because it is on the official road and next to the Luoning River , There are a lot of business travelers coming and going, and the flow of people is quite large. Those businessmen are not short of this money, and the original residents of the town are also rich. She is very confident in Nuomi Ci, but feels that the price is still a bit low!
After hearing what she said, Grandma Zhang felt that it made sense. If she really couldn't sell it, she might as well keep it for herself!
Because of their worries, both grandparents and grandchildren tossed and turned that night, and fell asleep very late, and got up just after the rooster crowed three times, and it was still pitch black outside.

When the two put the firewood, stove, steamer, etc. on the cart borrowed from Aunt Liu's house, it was already daylight.

Grandma Zhang was pulling the cart, and Zhang Xiaocao followed behind to help, and soon arrived in the town.

This time, they pulled the scooter directly to the side of the most prosperous official road, and stopped at the spot they had "stepped on" before.This place is not like the previous vegetable market, the streets are much more spacious and tidy, and there is no need to pay for setting up a stall in the vegetable market, but you have to pay five cents to the yamen guards who specialize in patrolling the streets beside the official road, and the road cannot be blocked , Affect the traffic of vehicles and horses!

At this time, many people have already started to set up stalls one after another, waiting for customers to come. Those people set up stalls here all the year round. The stove steamer, I thought it was selling steamed buns, so I lost interest.

Grandma Zhang paid the money and started to move the things on the cart. Zhang Xiaocao started to light the fire. When the water vapor got up, she put on the steamer and started steaming the glutinous rice cakes.

Not long after, the sweet smell of glutinous rice cakes began to waft in the cold air. Gradually, the fragrance became stronger, and it could be smelled for half the street. Suddenly, many people looked at this side eagerly, They all speculated that the grandparents and grandson were selling something delicious, which made the stomachs that hadn't eaten even more hungry!
Looking at the reactions of those people, Zhang Xiaocao was very happy and more confident. Seeing that the glutinous rice cakes were almost cooked, and there were more people coming and going, she immediately shouted in a clear voice: "Come and see Look, the delicious and unique glutinous rice cakes, pass by, don't miss it, come and try it!"

Grandma Zhang, who was preparing the bamboo stick Xiaodie, was startled by her cries. Looking at the passers-by who turned their heads to look, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. It's hard to say it now, so I had to help and shout, but I thought in my heart that I must talk about it when I go home.

Zhang Xiaocao, who was shouting vigorously, didn't know that she was missed by her dear grandma, and her crisp voice resounded all over the street!

Zhang Xiaocao's cries played a role. People who were originally attracted by the smell of Nuomi Ci, when they heard the unfamiliar food of "Nuomi Ci", stopped one after another. , A snow-white ball that can be eaten by two bites, one actually costs five cents, and when there is still one penny left after buying two eggs, I suddenly feel that it is too expensive, and put down the hand that was about to take out the money.

Zhang Xiaocao was not in a hurry, took back some firewood, steamed it with a small fire, and said to the big man: "Five cents is really not expensive. It can be said that this glutinous rice cake is the only one in the whole Shuanghe Town, and even in the north. For one portion, this skin is made of high-quality glutinous rice, and the secret method handed down from my family is used. No matter how much you eat, you will not get tired of it. The stuffing inside is all good stuff, I guarantee you will want to eat it again , if you don’t believe me, you can try one for free, and if you think it’s good, you can buy it later!”

After speaking, he opened the steamer, inserted one with a bamboo stick, and handed it to him.She didn't exaggerate. The Chengfen in this glutinous rice cake is probably not made by anyone here. If it is mixed with glutinous rice flour, it will not be sticky at all, and the flour will not have this effect!

When the uncle opened the steamer, the scent became stronger, and his saliva almost overflowed. Seeing the white ball, he couldn't help but took it, and took a big bite. Li repeatedly said "delicious and delicious"!
In the end, the big man took out a penny and bought twenty of them at once. Perhaps he had taken advantage of a glutinous rice cake before. While eating, he kindly said to those who were still watching: "This thing is It’s so delicious! Even me, who never eats sweets, thinks it’s good, so please try it!”

Those people were already a little moved, but once they heard what this big man said, how could they bear it?Even if it's not like a big man, it's a penny for a shot, but there are three of you and five of you rushing to buy it!
Grandma Zhang, who was still a little worried at first, saw it, and smiled from ear to ear, and hurriedly greeted her. Zhang Xiaocao also cheerfully collected the money, looking at the team behind, feeling very happy.
