Chapter 109 Selling jelly, Jinxiu is jealous (1)
"Mom, what are you doing? You remember this and don't even think about it in the future. My brother, I can only live with Zhong Hong in this life. You should be busy now. I'll go out and see the two babies. Yu’er, it’s time to drink milk.”

A few words calmed Shen Shi down, and Jinxiu ran out of the kitchen in a panic, seeing Shen Shi dumbfounded.

"Are you in such a hurry? You can't listen to what I have to say!"

After Jinxiu went out the door, Shen shi just scolded, then lowered her head and continued to work. Jinxiu turned her head and glanced at her, seeing that she had already lowered her head, she immediately turned her feet, and gently turned back towards the outside of the kitchen door .

August [-]th was an auspicious day, and it was the wedding date chosen by the Zhongsu family.

Jinxiu squatted by the well, rubbing the cloth bag in her hand, looking at the increasingly desolate wilderness, and thinking about the problem in her heart.

It's already the tenth day of the lunar new year, and she hasn't saved any money yet. When her brother gets married, what should she give as a sister-in-law?

Since the day she came back from her mother, she hasn't been idle. No, she's making jelly again.

Qin Dayong has been selling at the market for four or five days, and every day around noon he returns home with empty wooden barrels.It is said that the jelly is very popular, and it was sold out in a short while. It costs two yuan a bowl, and those people in the town can afford to eat it every day.

Jinxiu counted, one bucket of jelly can be scooped up to forty or fifty bowls, two buckets is about a hundred bowls, and can be sold for two hundred yuan.Then I have to buy peanuts, sesame seeds and brown sugar, which cost thirty or forty yuan, and I only earn one hundred and fifty or sixty yuan a day.

"Hey—" It's just such a saving method, when will it be a head.

"Lan Lan, are you alright? I've peeled everything here!" Sun Guangcai sat on the bamboo chair, holding up an empty shauke, and showed it to the two women by the well.

Don't look at his bad legs and feet, his hands are still flexible.The jelly seeds of this big Shau Kei were peeled off by him in less than two hours.

Like Jinxiu, Qin Chunlan also took a cloth bag and rubbed it vigorously. The juice overflowing from the outside of the cloth bag became less and less. She simply got up, picked up the cloth bag, and walked towards the pigsty.

"Father, wait a minute, I'll pass the rubbed dregs to the pig first."

Sun Guangcai nodded, put down the Shau Kei, and stood up slowly.

"Girl Xue'er, be careful, come on, let uncle get up." She stood up, rubbed her sore shoulders, picked up the crutches leaning on the bamboo chair, and walked slowly towards Jinxiu.

"Jinxiu, you have to finish tomorrow's work? Today, when will you go to the mountains to pick fruits again?" He was idle at home, bored, and with this job in hand, he was really energetic. They are much refreshing.No, after finishing work every day, I hope that Jinxiu and the others will finish their work soon, go up the mountain to pick fruits and come back to peel them for themselves, and they never get tired of it.

Jinxiu looked at a basin of grout in the big wooden basin at hand that hadn't been processed yet, and in the shaukei over there, there was still a pile of unkneaded, unkneaded, and rubbed. It was too early to go up the mountain.

"Uncle, if you are afraid of being bored, you should peel it slowly. Our area will be like this soon. I am afraid that we will not be able to go until after noon." go out.Hey, so you picked more fruit yesterday than a few days ago?Jinxiu grinned, somewhat satisfied.Maybe I can sell it for a little more money tomorrow.

"Why is it so late?" Sun Guangcai sighed in frustration, seeing that Jinxiu had lowered her head to work again and ignored herself, so she turned her head resentfully, walked back to the bamboo chair, and sat down.

This sitting is an afternoon.

The next day, the autumn wind was refreshing and the breath was pleasant.

Different from the tranquility of a small mountain village like Baifeng Village, where the clouds gather in the clear sky, there is a hustle and bustle of people everywhere.

Today is the busiest day in Shiliba Township of Qingyun County, and it is also a big market held once a month in Qingyunji.All the pawns and traffickers from ten miles and eight towns took advantage of this person's coming and going, and came here.

Due to too much jelly, Qin Dayong couldn't bear it all by himself, so Jinxiu volunteered to come along with her.It's been almost a year since I came here, and Jinxiu has never gone out to catch a fair.

Today is finally a chance to go out and see the ancient bazaar, and Jinxiu's heart is naturally as excited as a little girl's.Carrying a big bamboo basket on her back, although the wooden barrel containing jelly in it was a bit heavy, it still couldn't hold back her seemingly erratic footsteps.Briskly, he followed behind Qin Dayong and squeezed towards the place where Qin Dayong set up a stall every day.

In a few days it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the number of people in the market has increased beyond words.It might not be easy for her to walk through the crowd all alone, Jinxiu looked at Qin Dayong's burden and felt relieved for him.If they were bumped, not only would their family's hard work be in vain, even Qin Dayong might be trampled and injured by the big guys.

"Lady, follow me, don't let people squeeze you." Before she could tell him, he turned around and told her.Jinxiu nodded her head, leaned against his back hastily, her little hands also took hold of his clothes.

"Sanggong, you have to be careful, there are too many people here."

The couple, one in front and the other behind, spent a lot of effort, and finally squeezed to the place.

"Wife—" Qin Dayong just spoke out, wanting to talk to Jinxiu, and immediately the crowd rushed towards them.Jinxiu felt that her internal organs were about to shift, why not be so excited.

"It's coming, it's finally here!"

"Yes, yes, why did Brother Qin come at such a time today? It made us wait so hard."

"Oh, brother Qin, this jelly made by your family is really delicious. I feel like I can't live without buying a bowl every day."

"Yes, yes, hey, girls, it's okay, you bought it for yourself. A maid like me, after waiting for a long time, still has to buy it for the lady. I can't afford it at all. Expensive things. Hey, brother, for the sake of taking care of your business every day, give me a little cheaper, let me have a taste too?"

There were chattering voices, and Jin Xiu was stunned.This, what is the situation?At a glance, why are they almost all women?No, it's not that there are no men who want to buy it, but each of them held up the money, but they were squeezed behind the crowd by a bunch of women, even if they stretched their necks, they couldn't reach a piece of cloth on Qin Dayong's body.

Then look at those girls in colorful clothes, whether they are young ladies or servant girls, girls or women, they all have half-smiling, half-smiling, half-dodging eyes. Even if Su Jinxiu is a fool, he knows what it means.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Su Jinxiu stepped on a smirking Qin Dayong's foot.
