Chapter 11
The next morning, when it was slightly bright, Tong Zhuzhu and Tong Dajiang went to the town with braised meat and wild vegetables to be handed over to Meimeixuan, because the location of the pier was very sought-after, so they had to go early to occupy the stall.

When they arrived at the pier, they found a place next to the noodle stall. It was in the shade and facing the dock workers loading and unloading goods. The location was very good.

Tong Zhuzhu asked Tong Dajiang to go to Meimeixuan to deliver the goods, while she took out the lo-mei and put it in the basket she brought.

Tong Dajiang, who had delivered the goods, came back and said: "The shopkeeper Zhou is urging the toon you took yesterday, so I must send it to him tomorrow." After speaking, he gave Tong Zhuzhu the three hundred wen.

Tong Zhuzhu patted her head and said, "My God, I was busy making lo mei when I went back yesterday, and I forgot about it. I have to pick it when I go back today. It's a good temper that shopkeeper Zhou is not angry today."

Seeing that there were more and more people on the pier, but no one asked her about the lo mei, she felt a little anxious.

Thinking that many people don’t know their own lo-mei, so I yelled: “Don’t miss it when you pass by, the delicious and delicious lo-mei is here, everyone come and see it, it’s not delicious, you don’t need money, you can taste it for free” .

It was also the first time for everyone to see a girl yelling like this. They were all men of work, and they all moved closer to Tongzhuzhu's booth when they thought it was new. When they arrived, they were also taken aback by her obesity.

A man said in a loud voice: "Girl, what are you doing? It looks like pig intestines. This is not delicious. Don't fool people."

Tong Zhuzhu didn't panic, picked up a bamboo skewer and inserted a piece of sliced ​​sausage for him, and said, "Brother, is it delicious, you can try it for everyone first, anyway, it doesn't cost money."

The man was no longer pretentious, put the fat sausage in his mouth, his eyes lit up within a few seconds, he laughed and said, "Girl, what a craft, I have never eaten such delicious meat, how did you sell it? "

Seeing the business, Tong Zhuzhu hurriedly said: "Twenty Wen per catty, thirty Wen for more than two catties."

After she finished speaking, someone in the crowd started talking. Pig intestines are so expensive, it's really stealing people, and there are many people around who agreed.

Tong Zhuzhu hurriedly explained: "Big guys, you can try it. Although pig intestines are not expensive, I waste a lot of things in processing pig intestines, and my exclusive recipe wastes a lot of spices. You can try it and buy it." Absolutely no loss."

The person who spoke at the beginning asked for two catties, and Tong Dajiang quickly cut it up, weighed it, and wrapped it in oiled paper.

When everyone saw it, they tasted a piece of it one after another. It tasted absolutely delicious, with all kinds of aromas in the meat. After eating and drinking, everyone began to weigh it in a hurry. Tong Zhuzhu was in charge of collecting the money. Tong Dajiang is responsible for weighing and packing.

I was busy until noon, and the two sets of pigs that I brought were finally sold out, and there were still some people who didn't buy them. They all asked Tong Zhuzhu to prepare more for the next day.

Tong Zhuzhu and Tong Dajiang were finally able to take a breather, counting quietly and earning more than one or two taels of silver today, very happy.

The two ate a bowl of noodles at the small noodle stall next to them. This noodle stall was supported by a pair of old people.

After eating the noodles, the two went to the meat stand to collect four more sets of pigs, and bought some pig skins. Tong Zhuzhu had other ideas. She saw that many people on the dock today did not choose her braised pork. The price is expensive. Thinking of the braised meat that everyone could afford in the previous life, she wanted to sell some marinated vegetarian dishes, so she went to buy seasonings.

After thinking about it, I went to buy some dried tofu, kelp, lotus root, and went to the iron shop to buy two large iron pots.Iron pots in this era are very expensive, and it cost more than six taels of silver to buy two pots. The money I got from selling recipes at Shopkeeper Zhou yesterday was all spent.

Tong Zhuzhu could only lament that the money was really not spent, and there were too many places to spend it, while walking back with a black iron pot on her shoulders.

Back in the village, some people saw people with two black iron pots on their heads walking towards the village, but by looking at the figure of one of them, they knew that it was the vicious little daughter of the Tong family. No one dared to ask, and hid far away. .

When they got home, Wang Shi and Tong Dahai had just finished their lunch when they saw the two men with dark heads coming back, and hurriedly helped them put down the pot.

While pouring water for her, Mrs. Wang said doubtfully, "Pearl, what are you doing after you bought two big pots, the pot is not bad at home."

Tong Zhuzhu took a deep breath, and excitedly said to her: "Mother, all the stewed meat my daughter brought is sold out, and it's sold for more than one or two. People in the town like it very much, so my daughter plans to increase the amount. Make more money."

Listening to her daughter's words, Tong Dahai exclaimed: "What, it's all sold out at noon? I'll be good, I only work one or two every day for a month."

Wang glared at Tong Dahai and said, "Zhu Er, you are too tired like this. Mother sees that you are so busy that you don't have time to sleep these days. You have lost a lot of weight. Otherwise, don't increase your weight."

Tong Zhuzhu complained in her heart, mother, you think I'm thin, how can it be so easy to lose weight in this body, there is really a kind of thinness in the world, which makes your mother think you are thin.

But I was also very touched. My mother would rather not make money than make her tired. She still wants to repair the house and make money to be a landlady.

Tong Zhuzhu turned to Wang and said, "Mom, I'm not afraid of being tired. I want to earn more money, build a big house, and let the whole family eat white rice and meat every day."

Without waiting for Mrs. Wang to say anything, Tong Zhuzhu quickly stated her arrangement: "Father and mother, now there are too many lo-mei businesses, and I am too busy. I want the whole family to do this business together. At the end of each month, we will Give everyone a salary, okay?
Tong Dahai hurriedly said: "Zhuzhu, I think it's okay. Now the work in the field is almost the same. Your elder brother and second brother don't go to the town to do work like they used to. It's better to do this with you."

Mrs. Wang also echoed: "Yes, yes, there are so many people in the family, how can we rely on you alone, you teach us how to do it, we will do it, Zhu Er, take a break."

Tong Zhuzhu also began to arrange everyone's work, and asked her father to build a straw shed in the yard, and built a double stove inside, just right for the two pots.

The younger uncle Tong Dajiang took his second brother Tong Yi and his two sisters-in-law to the river to wash the pigs in the water, blanch them in water and dry them.

Mrs. Wang brought the two little ones to cook dinner at home.

The eldest brother followed him to the mountain to pick wild vegetables and Chinese toon. In his memory, the eldest brother was very good at climbing trees, so he happened to pick Chinese toon.

After speaking, everyone went to do their own work. Tong Zhuzhu and the two went to the mountain and hurriedly picked enough bracken and wild onions.

Next is the Chinese toon, which is the most difficult to get. Tong Zhuzhu brought Tong Xin to the toon tree she found that day, and he shuttled nimbly through the tree like a monkey.
