The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 48

The business of the store is much better than that of the booth. It may be due to the increase in variety, or it may be due to the fact that there are seats in the store. Things always sell more and faster.After today's items were sold out, Yao Yu went to order a price tag, and marked all the prices of the breakfast on the fast tag, so that when everyone asked, it would take a lot of time to explain.

Aunt Wu and Wang Fengzhen also slowly entered the role, the speed is much more neat than before, and the collection of money and change is not as slow as it was at the beginning.

There are three big jars of soy sauce made in Yao Yu’s backyard, and it can be used for a while. Yao Yu took four taels of silver, and saw that Aunt Wu and Wang Fengzhen were preparing something to sell tomorrow morning, so she hurriedly shouted, “Tomorrow! Just take a day off and reopen the day after tomorrow.”

Yao Yu handed the money to the two, "This is this month's wages, you two take it."

When Aunt Wu and Wang Fengzhen saw the wages, they happily accepted them. Unexpectedly, there would be a reward of [-] Wen in the first month. At first, they both thought about it. Generally speaking, those who have rewards will not be paid, so the two Always acquiescing that his wages are two taels of silver, Yao Yu smiled and said, seeing the happy faces of the two, "Let's go, go back."

Yao Yu locked the door, and then hung a sign outside, saying that the business would be closed for one day. When he got home, Yao Yu began to count the accounts for this month. Because of the addition of noodles, and more steamed buns and steamed buns than before, he sold more. Aside from the cost, Yao Yu's net income this month was actually more than 100 taels, and he earned back the cost of buying the shop.

If it wasn't because he didn't know how to ride a horse, he wished he could buy the carriage now. The reason why Yao Yu wanted to rest for a day was mainly because he wanted to go to Lizheng and ask about the condition of the duck feathers. The other reason was that the sweet potatoes in the field were ready and it was time to collect them. After harvesting the land, Yao Yu is going to continue planting sweet potatoes.

In the early morning of the second day, after Yao Yu sent Nuoer to the village school, he went to Lizheng's house. After explaining his intentions, Dong Xin was a little puzzled, "Are you really getting this duck feather?"

Yao Yu nodded, "I don't know which families have prepared according to Zhimo's method?"

"We have prepared some." Mrs. Ma came out of the house and took Yao Yu to see, "These are estimated to weigh seven or eight catties."

Yao Yu took a look at the duck feathers and they didn't go hard, so he accepted 120 Wen per catty. Yao Yu happily paid [-] Wen for [-] Jin.

Mrs. Ma was a little shocked. She earned more than 100 Wen at once, which made her a little unbelievable for a while, "You really took money for this duck feather?"

Yao Yu nodded, "Since you came to look for Lizheng, of course it's not fake. Auntie, please pay attention to me. Anyone who wants to sell it can come to me at the east end of the village. Wash and dry duck feathers for fifteen cents a catty. If the hard rod in the middle is removed, it will be twenty cents a catty."

Yao Yu didn't expect that the reason why no one asked her to sell duck feathers for so long was that she didn't trust her, and also, who would believe that someone would pay for these useless duck feathers, and the asking price was so high.

However, Yao Yu gave money to Lizheng's family, thinking that more people would come to sell it, because he missed the good opportunity to exchange duck feathers.

After Yao Yu put the duck feathers in the cabinet, he changed into his clothes and led the ox cart to the field, dug out all the sweet potatoes in the ground, and dragged them all back with the ox cart.Back home, Yao Yu filled a large pot of sweet potatoes, took them to the river to wash them, then peeled them and steamed them in a pot, poured water into the steamed sweet potatoes, then crushed them into mud and continued to cook. When the agitation stops, turn to a low heat and simmer slowly.

Yao Yu put the lid on the pot and started preparing dinner. Before Nuo'er entered the room, she smelled a sweet smell, "Mother, what are you doing again?"

Yao Yu handed the dinner to Nuo'er, "Mother is telling you after eating."

The sweet potato candies are cooling in the pot now. The sweet potato candies made by Yao Yu's method are not too sweet and suitable for children.Nuoer finished the meal frequently, then looked at Yao Yu, Yao Yu was a little funny, and only at this time, Nuoer was still a child.

Walking to the kitchen, Yao Yu cut a small piece of cool sweet potato candy and handed it to Nuoer, "Taste it."

Yao Yu also cut into pieces, um, the taste is not bad, much better than Tanggua.

"Is this sugar?" Nuo'er licked it, feeling sweet and fragrant.

"It's sweet potato candy, but Nuo'er can't eat too much," Yao Yu said.

"Well, I'll just eat this one." Nuo'er felt that as long as his mother said it, there was some truth to it.

Yao Yu put the sugar in the cupboard. In the past few days, he can turn all the sweet potatoes into sugar and sell them.

Thinking of this, Yao Yu seemed to see another way to make money. Nuoer finished the candy in her hand and asked, "Mom, can I take some to the village school?"

"Yes, how much do you want?" Yao Yu asked.

Nuoer picked up her fingers and began to count, and Yao Yu finally realized that if Nuoer wanted to give it to a friend, Yao Yu cut twenty pieces of sweet potato and wrapped it in candy and handed it to Nuoer, "You can take it tomorrow." Go share it with them."

Nuo'er happily put it in her schoolbag, "Thank you, mother."

Aunt Wu and Wang Fengzhen came over after a day's rest, each in good spirits. Yao Yu thought, maybe in another month, the two of them can take care of the shop independently.

These days, after Yao Yu returned to Shuangshui Village at noon, he planted sweet potatoes on the ground first, and then made sweet potato candies after returning home.

Since it was summer, Yao Yu made the candy on the first day and sold it in the shop the next day. Unexpectedly, there were still a lot of candy sold in the shop that made breakfast, and many people came here to buy candy.

"Sister, your candy is cheap." Wang Fengzhen said, ordinary candied melons cost only a penny, not as good as this one, and much smaller than Yao Yu's.

"I think so too." Aunt Wu said.

Yao Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, just work harder. If the price increases now, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among customers." Besides, the sweet potatoes are all grown by themselves, and the firewood is also collected from the mountains, and sister Fengzhen's family helped to pick them up Chai, it can be said that the cost is almost zero.

The weather is getting hotter day by day, but Xie Zhimo hasn't come back yet, Yao Yu keeps avoiding thinking about Xie Zhimo, she never realizes that, unconsciously, Xie Zhimo seems to have become an indispensable figure in her life.

There are many people who come to sell duck feathers, Yao Yu carefully inspects each one, clean and well-processed, Yao Yu said that it is important to pay directly, without any procrastination, if it is dark, Yao Yu will not accept it, So for a while, not many people dared to steal and play tricks.

"Yao Shi, I heard that you collect duck feathers?" Liu Shi came over with a big bag of things.

It was dark just from the belt, Yao Yu frowned, "I only collect clean duck feathers, wash them and dry them in the sun."

Mrs. Liu handed the things in her hand to Yao Yu, "I have a hundred catties of duck feathers, just give me a tael of silver."

Not to mention whether the bag of duck feathers weighed ten catties or not, Yao Yu didn't want to open it just because of the smell, "Take it away."

Liu suddenly went into a rage, "Why do you take other people's duck feathers, but you don't take mine."

Yao Yu didn't hide her disgust at all, "Because it's dirty."

Mrs. Liu quit immediately, "Oh, I am a miserable person. If you take the duck feathers, it's fine if she doesn't accept the duck feathers. I said it would be cheaper for her, but she didn't appreciate it."

Mrs. Liu was crying and shouting, but Yao Yu didn't bother to respond, so she went into the yard and closed the door directly. In this hot weather, Mrs. Liu could just shout outside if she wanted to, and see who is afraid of whom.

Before Yao Yu finished the pot of sweet potato candies, there was no sound outside. Yao Yu sorted the duck feathers he collected, put the duck feathers that had been removed, and put the duck feathers that hadn’t been removed, because the weather was too hot. , Yao Yu didn't want to mess with these, so they piled them up in the room.

A heavy rain disrupted Yao Yu's plan. Because of the heavy rain, Yao Yu couldn't go to the town. Even Nuoer had difficulty going to Shangyao Village, so he had to review the previous books in his room every day.

Yao Yu made sweet potato candies at home and waited for the weather to clear up to sell. As a result, it rained for three days and the water in the river rose by more than 20 inches.Yao Yu took the clothes she had saved up for three days to the river. It rained all the time, so she didn’t wash her clothes. After all, drying clothes in the shade is not very good. In ancient times, there was a lack of disinfection things. They can be disinfected in the sun. Of course, Yao Yu has to do it. Get as much sun as possible.

There was still a lot of rising water, Yao Yu washed it in the river, and when he fished it out, he found a brown thing stained on it. Yao Yu took a closer look and felt very happy, this thing is not a clam, but what is it!
Unexpectedly, there were clams in the river of Shuangshui Village. Yao Yu quickly washed his clothes, went home and found a wooden barrel, and started to salvage clams.I don't know if it was because of the torrential rain, but in less than a quarter of an hour, Yao Yu salvaged a whole bucket.

After Yao Yu returned home, she soaked a basin with clear water and put a few spoonfuls of salt in it. The purpose of doing this was to remove the sand in the clams.

This is the first time for Nuoer to go to the village school after the rain stopped, and when she came back, she saw a wooden basin filled with black and white things, "Mother, what are these?"

"This is our dinner." Yao Yu said, he couldn't go to the village school for a few days, but Nuoer was very anxious, and later Yao Yu told him to use this time to review what he had learned before, and then preview it in advance The lessons to be learned.The homework was reviewed very quickly. During the pre-study, Nuoer found that he had a lot of questions. Yao Yu asked him to record these questions, and waited to go to the village school to communicate with his classmates. No, after school today, Nuoer and his classmates did not come back until now. But now Nuo'er found that the learning method his mother gave him is very useful.

"That's great." Nuo'er said excitedly, his mother can always bring him different perceptions.

The clams that had been soaked for an entire afternoon had long since lost the sand. Yao Yu divided the clams into two parts, then chopped the onion and ginger into pieces, and then started a fire. Throw away the ones that didn't open their mouths. All the ones that didn't open their mouths were dead, and the taste was very bad.

Yao Yu rinsed the open-mouthed clams under clear water, then poured oil into the pan, added minced green onion and ginger, then added the clams, and finally added his own homemade soybean sauce, and the fried clams were out of the pan.

The other part of clams, Yao Yu used to make clam soup, clam soup is quite simple, after frying onion, ginger and garlic, pour water into the grill, then add clams, this method can keep the original taste of clams .
