Nongmen Merchant Girl

Chapter 47

"A Bao is so early today."

"Well, Uncle Jin said he wants me to go to his yard before the sun rises."

Ah Bao finished getting dressed quickly, didn't plan to wash his face, and was about to go out.

Xu's mother hurried to catch up and wiped his face with a cloth, then handed him a small basket.

"It contains happy beans and a few steamed buns. You can eat them with your Uncle Jin." Mother Xu explained.

Everyone thought that Ah Bao couldn't hold on, but who knew that this kid seemed to like martial arts very much. Since the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival was settled, he got up early every morning.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather here seems to be much colder than in the previous life. When I wake up in the morning, I can see myself exhaling white mist.Xu Ru has thought a lot in the past few days, and now her life here is temporarily stable, but she still has no idea about her mission, and she is secretly anxious.

"Father, you have to go up the mountain today. It's cold in the morning, so you need to wear an extra layer of clothes, and don't forget the dry food and water." Xu Ru saw her father's bow, arrow and machete on the stone bench at the door, and she thought she would have to enter the mountain today. Mountain.

"Yeah, with you Uncle Jin Ge, it will be snowing in a month or so, and it will be even more difficult to hunt. Now that the weather is good, it's better to hunt more wild game for the winter."

Xu's father moved the peanuts from the house to the ox cart and put them away, and said, "Be careful on the way to town, and come back early when they are sold out." There are even more beggars.

"Understood, my second sister and I often go there, it's fine." He Yumanlou's business delivers goods on time every day, it's been almost two months, and Yumanlou's and Zhangjia Tofu's business settles accounts once a month , Earned a total of more than 21 taels last month.

Especially happy beans, which are very popular in the market. There are several maids from big families in the county who are familiar with Xu Ru and the others, and often come to their stall to buy happy beans.Even several surrounding market towns have imitated it, but the ones made by others are not as delicious as those made by Xu's.

When Xu Ru saw Xu Chunmei who was peeling peanuts in the yard, she went up to say hello. She was about the same age as Zhaodi.It has been a month since she came to the hospital to help, but every time Xu Ru greeted her, she was very nervous and restrained. In fact, Xu Ru had long since neglected the past.

She knew in her heart that Chunmei used to bully her a lot when she was stupid, so she was afraid that she would retaliate against her.

"Second sister, how do you plan your own affairs? I heard mother discussing your affairs with father last night. Now that our family lives a little better, you have to choose the one you like, hee hee "Xu Ru sat next to Yinhua on the bullock cart, and touched Yinhua's arm with a smile.

Seeing that Yinhua was silent and didn't look angry, she waved the whip in her hand for a while and said, "I don't want to get married yet. The family is so busy. If I get married, what will you and A Bao do?" ?”

"Second sister, third sister is also very sensible, and Abao and I are not young anymore, so you don't have to worry about us too much, you see I am very capable now." Xu Ru really wanted Yinhua to have her own happiness , Find someone you like.

"You little girl, do you have a sweetheart and want to get married early? Urge me to get married soon..." Yin Hua pretended to twist her waist.

"Haha, no way, if you don't get married quickly, someone will be snatched away. The day before yesterday I delivered goods and passed Brother Zhang's tofu stand, but I saw a very beautiful girl talking and laughing with Brother Zhang."

"You lied, his elm head, which girl would like him?" Yinhua's eyes darkened, and she stopped playing with her.

"Really, that girl is thin and has big eyes. Well, she is wearing a pink dress, yes, and a pair of silver earrings."

While talking, she looked at Yinhua up and down, touched the earrings on her ears with her fingers, and finally burst out laughing.

"Okay, you damn girl, you're teasing me with feelings, see if I don't hit you." Tremella blushed and was about to come up and pinch her.

Talking and laughing along the way, soon arrived in the town.

"Uncle Sun, how's the business going?" Although it was morning, Xu Ru felt that there were still not as many people in the store as before, but it was strange that the street outside was much more lively.

"Hey, when the weather is cold, the business of this restaurant is not easy to do. The customers are also afraid of the cold. This dish is half cold before it is served. Who do you think would want to come out to eat?" Shopkeeper Sun Shaking his head, fiddling with his abacus, if Xu Ru hadn't supported him with a few new dishes, the business of Yumanlou would have been even more sluggish.

"But I see why there are so many people on this street?" Most of them are people in ragged clothes.

"Hey, you don't know yet, there is another war in the east. Be careful on the road these few days." Shopkeeper Sun told her.

Every winter, the bandits living in the Wushan Mountains would go to the surrounding villages and towns to sweep goods. In fact, they robbed food, and the court ignored it, but the people suffered the most.

Xu Ru stood at the door and looked at the people passing by for a while, feeling faintly worried.

"Don't worry. Although this Qinghe County is located at the foot of Wushan Mountain, it is relatively poor and remote, with a small population. It is still relatively far away from the bandits. Although there were occasional disturbances in previous years, they were only a small part. If we all work together, nothing will happen.”

Seeing her staring closely at the passers-by outside the door, Sun Biyan thought she must be a little scared, so he spoke words of comfort.

"Well, then I'll go back and let the folks pay more attention." She turned her head with a smile and stopped looking outside.

"It's freezing outside here, and the poor will be even more miserable after a few more days." She said casually.

"Everyone has their own destiny, and our own abilities are limited, so we can't worry about that. Hey, the business of this restaurant is getting worse every day, and I feel anxious when I see it." Shopkeeper Sun sighed and said anxiously .

"Speaking of which, I have a good idea..." Xu Ru said to shopkeeper Sun with a smile.

"Oh, Miss Xu, if you have a way, please tell me quickly. I have been worried about this business for the past few days. If it weren't for the two recipes you taught me, our Yumanlou would be as good as it used to be. It's going to be a loss." Shopkeeper Sun looked at Xu Ru excitedly, he is also a chef, and of course he can't resist new delicacies.

"I wonder if your boss Ling is here?" She asked casually.

"Here, the boss is not here, but Young Master Ling is here." The boss usually comes to the store in the afternoon.

"Well, shopkeeper Sun wait for me, I'll come as soon as I go." Xu Ru went out to the car to get some homemade hot pot ingredients, and then told Yinhua to let her go to the street to set up a stall first.

"Second Sister, go and set up the stall first. I'm talking about business with shopkeeper Sun. I'll come to you later. If you can't wait, you go to Brother Zhang's house and wait for me." She winked at Yinhua, Then go away.
