The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 40

When the two arrived at the place where they rented the booth, they realized that there were so many people renting the booth today. Yao Yu couldn't help but feel a little worried, "I don't know if that booth has been rented out?"

Yao Yu thought about it, and the booth next to it was okay, although it was a little bit worse, but there were still a lot of people coming and going.

"Are you two here to rent a booth?" A person who seemed to be a waiter came over and asked.

"En." Xie Zhimo nodded in agreement.

"This way, please." The man led the way, and Yao Yu looked around the room. There were about five people in charge of renting booths, and he couldn't help but sigh that there were so many people.

The person who led the way explained, "Because it's just the New Year's Eve, there are a lot of people renting the shop, so today is a bit busy, so I kept you waiting for a long time."

"Thank you." Yao Yu said politely.

The person who led the way warmed his heart. This was the first person to say thank you to him today, and his attitude naturally became more enthusiastic. "You guys just sit here, this is our treasurer Qian."

Shopkeeper Qian was drinking water. It seemed that he had just talked too much. There was a sign beside him that read, "No bargaining."

Seeing this, Xie Zhimo pointed directly to the location on the map, "Master Qian, we want to rent this place."

In fact, the location and rent on the map are very clear. Someone rented this place just now, but they stopped renting it when they heard that it would cost [-] Wen a month. "How many months?"

Xie Zhimo looked at Yao Yu, "How long is the rent?"

Yao Yu also saw the prices of other booths on the map, "Let's rent for two months first." If there are so many people at a distance of [-] cents a month, it would not be worthwhile for her to rent this booth.

Xie Zhimo immediately took out the money and gave it to Shopkeeper Qian. Shopkeeper Qian looked at it curiously. This was the smoothest order of the day. Yao Yu was relieved to come out after completing all the procedures. Starting tomorrow, She is about to open a shop, although it is only a small stall.

"What do I need to buy to prepare?" Xie Zhimo asked.

"I want to make an iron pan." Yao Yu gestured at the size and shape of the pan, "I need to buy some fine noodles, meat, bowls, and pots." For vegetables, Xie Zhimo bought them from the garden at home last time. Picked a lot.

"Are you going to cook food?" Xie Zhimo saw that Yao Yu's preparations were related to food.

"That's right, I'm going to sell some breakfast." Yao Yu said, "We'll see how the market goes."

The two went to the blacksmith shop, ordered a frying pan, then went to buy two stoves, and prepared all the things to be sold tomorrow, and then dragged a lot of things back to Shuangshui Village.

The two first went to Shangyao Village to pick up Nuo'er. As soon as Nuo'er left the classroom, he saw Yao Yu and Xie Zhimo waiting for him outside, so he ran over excitedly, "Father, mother."

Xie Zhimo reported Nuo'er to the bullock cart, "My dear son, sit down, let's go home."

Since Yao Yu asked, "Is the class fun? Can Nuoer understand what the teacher is saying?" As a result, Nuoer excitedly talked about what he learned in class today.

Xie Zhimo listened intently in front, as if he really wanted to learn with Nuoer, while Yao Yu was very happy that Nuoer is in this state, and it is a good thing to have something he likes.

When he got home, Xie Zhimo took out the books and rice paper he bought for Nuoer, and Nuoer took it grandly, "Thank you father, thank you mother!" Then he ran to his room, where Nuoer said nothing before. I can't help it, I didn't expect that Nuo'er would take the initiative to go in on the first day of school.

Yao Yu looked at Nuoer's back and shook her head, "I'll make a schoolbag for Nuoer." After speaking, he searched the room for unused cloth from making clothes before.

Xie Zhimo reset the fire at home and went out.

At dinner time, Nuoer finally came out of the room, and Yao Yu handed the sewn schoolbag to Nuoer, "Nuoer, come and try."

"What is this?" Nuoer took it curiously.

Yao Yu gave Nuoer the schoolbag to carry on her shoulders, "The book bag, referred to as the school bag, you can put books in this, one layer for books, another layer for rice paper, and another layer for pens."

When school was over, Nuo'er saw that many people were holding books in small bamboo baskets, and she was a little envious. She didn't expect that what she had was better than them. "Thank you, mother, I like it very much."

"As long as you like it, we're ready to eat," Yao Yu said.

Xie Zhimo just came back from outside the house, "Just now I went to Lizheng's house and told Lizheng about collecting duck feathers. I need to wash and dry the duck feathers. It costs fifteen cents a catty. Take it out, twenty Wen a catty, what do you think?"

Yao Yu's eyes lit up, "This is good!" Unexpectedly, Xie Zhimo came out to talk about this, and it is more reliable to find Lizheng, and he can make another fortune this winter.

"The ducks will start to moult soon, and this is the best time to collect duck feathers." Xie Zhimo said, whenever he did something to make Yao Yu happy, he felt that he did the right thing.

Yao Yu nodded, thinking about going to town tomorrow to buy some cloth for making duck down jackets, Nuoer went back to her room to study after dinner, Yao Yu and Xie Zhimo were preparing for the opening of the stall tomorrow.

The pot is not yet ready, so Yao Yu plans to sell some steamed buns and steamed buns tomorrow to find out the market first. As for the ingredients, Yao Yu plans to use all the fine noodles, and make the best ones. This will undoubtedly attract many repeat customers. Yao Yu planned to sell steamed buns for a penny, and steamed buns for three pennies, which was a penny more expensive than normal ones.The reason is that in addition to vegetables, Yao Yu also put real meat and lard residue in the buns. The meat filling is more than his home, and the taste will be much better.

Yao Yu didn't go to rest until five baskets of steamed buns and steamed buns were prepared.

Early in the morning, Yao Yu and Xie Zhimo prepared the things for the stall. It was the first time Nuoer slept alone last night, and she was also excited about going to the village school.

Xie Zhimo and Yao Yu first sent Nuoer to Shangyao Village to go to school, and then rushed to Hehua Town. As soon as they arrived at the stall, Xie Zhimo and Yao Yu quickly took down the things, and then started to light a fire. Put two steamers on it.

After a while, white steam came out, and the number of people in the town gradually increased. Seeing that Yao Yu's stall was newly opened, some were curious to watch, and some came forward to ask, " What do you sell?"

"There are steamed buns and steamed buns." Yao Yu also said the price, "Steamed buns cost a penny, and steamed buns cost three pennies."

"Other families are bilingual, why do you have three writings?"

Some spectators who watched the excitement also shouted, "That's right, why are you selling Sanwen?"

Yao Yu opened the steamer directly, and the white buns looked extraordinarily beautiful, "My buns and steamed buns are made of thin noodles, and the fillings of the buns are different from other ones. They are absolutely delicious."

Now everyone is not calm, other people's steamed buns are made of ordinary flour.

"I want a steamed bun." Someone shouted immediately.

Yao Yu neatly packed a steamed bun and handed it to the man. The man took out a penny, and then stood on the spot and took a bite of the steamed bun. It was soft and sticky, and the aroma was compelling. The man turned around and said, "Boss, give me another Here are two steamed buns, and I want another steamed bun."

"Okay, five cents together." Yao Yu handed the mantou and buns to the man, who was about to leave.

I heard someone ask, "Brother, can you open the bun and see what it is?"

"Yes, can you open it and have a look?"

The people who bought the buns were also curious about the stuffing, so they broke the buns in half. Except for the vegetables, they were really meat.

"What is this?" Someone asked curiously.

The man took a bite and praised repeatedly, "It's so delicious!"

Yao Yu was very happy that someone liked it, and patiently explained, "That thing is lard residue."

Some people nodded to show their understanding, but many people still thought it was Yao Yu's invitation, but some people boldly bought steamed buns and steamed buns.

Without exception, Yao Yu saw that there were not many steamed buns and steamed buns left, so he quickly took out the dough and made two baskets of steamed buns. Fewer people bought steamed buns. Even if he only sold steamed buns, Yao Yu Yu also felt very happy.

Since it was the first day of opening, Yao Yu didn't dare to prepare too many ingredients, so in less than two hours, the steamed buns and steamed buns were all sold out, and the two hurriedly packed up the booth and prepared to go back.

A woman in the next booth asked curiously, "Are you going back now?"

"Well, things are sold out, go back and get ready for tomorrow's stuff." Yao Yu said.

The woman's eyes were full of envy, "Then you go slowly."

"See you tomorrow." Yao Yu replied.

Xie Zhimo led the ox cart for a while and heard Yao Yu say, "Let's go buy some cloth."

Yao Yu chose one cloth of different colors, a total of ten, and then went back. On the way, Yao Yu explained, "You are collecting duck feathers. I plan to find Sister Fengzhen and make these into clothes."

"Okay, then let's go directly back to Shuangshui Village, and I'll pick up Nuoer later." Xie Zhimo said.

"Okay." Anyway, it's still early, and Nuo'er won't leave school until the end of Shen Shi. "By the way, can you teach me how to drive an ox cart?" Yao Yu continued to ask.

"Okay, you sit in the front." Xie Zhimo said.

Xie Zhimo was patient in teaching, and Yao Yu learned quickly. At the beginning of the period, the ox cart he was driving took a crooked route. Fortunately, there were few passers-by. Later, when he was approaching Shuangshui Village, Yao Yu was able to drive the ox cart in a straight line. This made Xie Zhimo sigh, saying that he learned so fast.

After arriving in Shuangshui Village, Yao Yu went directly to Wang Fengzhen. Speaking of which, this was the first time Yao Yu entered Wang Fengzhen's house. Although the house was not big, it also revealed warmth everywhere. Wang Fengzhen happily introduced Yao Yu into the back room.

When Liang Shi and Luo Shi saw Yao Yu coming, their attitudes were so enthusiastic that Yao Yu was flattered.

"Okay, you guys go out first, the girl still wants to talk to me." Wang Fengzhen was about to get up and close the door.

Mrs. Liang dragged Luo out, "Talk slowly, slowly, and I'll close the door for you right now."

Yao Yu was even more stunned. What happened? Why did Liang and Luo's attitudes change so much?

Only then did Wang Fengzhen explain, "We went to the town to sell fish. Later, Dalin told my mother-in-law, and I took Dalin's younger brother to do it together. Everyone in the family knows that this is the method you gave us, so I am very grateful. .”

So today when Yao Yu came, Liang Shi and Luo Shi were so happy, they only thought that Yao Yu came to teach them how to make money again, but it was true.
