A Story of a Little Village Girl Getting Rich

Chapter 72

The most talked about by the family now is about selling pancakes.

Xiaocao kneaded the noodles, and Xiaosi kneaded them. After kneading the noodles, they put them in a warm pot to ferment. It was too cold, and Xiaocao covered them with some old clothes.

Xiaocao, who was lying on the bed, was worried that her father would not be able to go out to sell pancakes in snowy weather. She wanted to go by herself, so she discussed it with Xiao Si.

"If you want to go out, let's go together." Xiaosi said while stroking Xiaocao's soft long hair.

"The two of us together?" Xiaocao thought for a while and said, "It's fine for us to be together. Parents won't be so worried. Even if we meet the Li family, the two of us will have someone to take care of."

After the matter was decided, Xiao Si's hands began to be dishonest.

If you haven't tried this taste of bone erosion, you may not be addicted, but as long as you try it, you will definitely be addicted.

Xiaocao and his wife got up before dawn, and heard coughing in the parents' room, Xiaocao went over and said softly, let the parents sleep for a while, she and Xiaosi made cakes, and then went out to sell, let the father cook breakfast at home, They come back to eat when they are sold out.

Xiaocao put the finished cakes into the dustpan, made thirty cakes, and the two went out together.

Xiaocao is holding a dustpan, and Xiaosi is carrying a basket.Selling along the street.

The snow was so deep that it didn't even reach Xiaocao's ankles. Fortunately, Xiao Si tied a thick cloth around her ankles.

There were not many people on the street, and the two came to the most prosperous vegetable market, where there were quite a lot of people.

Xiaocao's crisp voice is not loud but can be heard by everyone.

After an old lady bought one, people came to buy it one after another, and the vegetable market sold more than 20 at once.

Happily pinching the small cloth bag that was prepared before, Xiaocao smiled from ear to ear, getting more and more excited.

There were still a few cakes, and the two of them were selling them as they walked back.

There were a lot of people gathered in front, and when they walked over to take a look, they realized that it was a little beggar who was unconscious from the cold.

Xiaosi followed Xiaocao into the crowd, and the beggar's face was as white as paper, and his whole body was stiff.

Everyone said it was pitiful, the little beggar was a good boy, what a pity.

Seeing such a small child, Xiaocao felt really uncomfortable, and stretched out her hand to hold Xiaosi. Xiaosi's hand was very soft, not like the big bones of a farmer's man.

After looking at it for a while, Xiaosi handed the basket to Xiaocao, "Lady, let me take a look, maybe there is still life."

I saw Xiao Si put the index finger and middle finger of his right hand on the little beggar's neck, and after a while he took his hand to give him a pulse.

After a while, Xiaosi stood up and said to Xiaocao, "Lady, this little beggar can still be saved."

"If you can save it, save it quickly." Xiaocao was also anxious.

"Yeah." Nodding, Xiaosi's gaze stayed on Xiaocao's head, "Miss, give me your hairpin."

Without hesitation, he pulled out the hairpin and handed it to Xiao Si, "Hurry up and save him."

Xiaosi took the hairpin and stabbed the little beggar's head, then his back, and finally the sole of his foot, and then got up.

"Who kind-hearted person can get some hot ginger soup to feed him." Xiao Si looked at the people around him.

An old lady said: "My old man has already gone back to make ginger soup, and I will feed it."

"Okay, when he wakes up, feed him a bowl of ginger soup and he'll be fine." Xiaosi put Xiaocao's hairpin into his arms, took the basket from Xiaocao's hand and led her away from the crowd. "Is this enough?" Xiaocao asked in a low voice beside Xiao Si's arm.

"Miss, do you not believe in your husband?" Xiaosi looked at Xiaocao's cautious look with a funny face.

"It's not that I don't believe it. After all, human life is at stake, and I haven't seen you cure diseases and save lives before, so I asked." Xiaocao's words were also reasonable.

"Don't worry, lady, I'm sure of my husband." Xiao Si straightened the bamboo hat on Xiaocao's head.

"That's good. There are still a few cakes, sell them and go home." Xiaocao was walking all the time, and her body was not cold, but the faces of the two of them were flushed by the wind.

The snowy day was indeed worse, and it took three streets to sell out the last few cakes.

"Perfect! Call it a day and go home!" Xiaocao put the empty dustpan into the empty basket that Xiaosi was carrying.

There are people sweeping snow along the way.

"Which shop do you think is better? If there is a suitable one, we will list it." Xiaocao looked at the shops along the street.

"It's fine if the lady says yes."

Back home, the snow in the yard has been cleared to clear a path, and there is a burst of fragrance from the kitchen.

Taking two deep breaths, Xiaocao walked quickly to the kitchen with her parents in her mouth.

Miao Da and Xiao Cao Niang were warming up behind the stove, when they heard the sound of Xiaocao entering the door, they stood up.

"Xiao Cao, Xiao Si is cold, come in and warm up." Xiao Cao Niang also said.

"Mother, we've been walking, it's not cold." Xiaocao put his hand into Mother's palm.

The food was brought to the table, and the four of them ate around the table.

"Xiaosi Xiaocao, just now your uncle came and said that his owner has a shop for rent, but the location is a bit out of the way and the price is not expensive, so I asked you to go and have a look." Miao Da looked at Xiaosi and his wife and said.

"Really? That's great, let's go and see." Xiaocao was very happy, but she was very anxious, anxious to make money.

"Your uncle wrote down an address. You and Xiao Si will go and have a look later. Your mother and I won't go. You can just be polite if you think so." Miao Da took out the address written by Uncle Xiaocao from his arms and gave it to Xiao Four.

Xiaosi hurriedly put down the bowl, took the paper with both hands, opened it and looked at it with Xiaocao.

"This seems to be on the street over the vegetable market. It's not too far away. Let's go and have a look after dinner." Xiaocao's heart was soaring.

After eating, stepping on the snow, the two came to the shop where the uncle left the address.

The shop is on the east side of the vegetable market, and there are not many shops open on the whole street, so it's really not very prosperous.The things in this shop are very messy, as soon as the shopkeeper heard that Xiaocao came to visit the shop, he took her upstairs and downstairs, and looked at the front hall and back yard.

The shop is not big, but the yard and rooms behind it are quite big.

Xiaocao opened the back door and saw that it was connected to the vegetable market, and she felt satisfied immediately.

On the way home, Xiaocao asked Xiao Si how he was feeling, and Xiao Si smiled and said, "Don't you have a plan in mind?"

"My plan is my plan, your idea is your idea, there is no contradiction at all." For such a big matter, Xiaocao still hopes to discuss it with Xiao Si.

"I think it's possible." Xiaosi liked to stroke Xiaocao's hair.

"Yeah, the hero sees the same thing. So it's settled?"

"OK fine."

"Okay, let's go to uncle and tell him now, so as not to have long nights and dreams." Xiaocao led Xiaosi to the place where uncle was on duty.

After finding his uncle and telling him about his plan, Xiaocao lowered his voice and asked him how much the shop would cost per year.

Uncle said that it is 30 taels of silver a year, and it is paid every six months.

It takes 15 taels to pay every half a year. If all the money in the family is taken out, there will be no money to build a shop, and there will be no working capital.

Uncle saw Xiaocao's embarrassment, so he thought for a while and said, "How about I go and tell the master so that you can teach the rent every month without paying in advance."

"Then there will be Uncle Lao." Xiao Si bowed to his uncle.
