Co-wife

In the evening, the three of Chen Chunhua didn't have a lot of rest. They made the glutinous rice balls, washed the goji berries, cut up the candied dates, mixed them with sweet potatoes and glutinous rice flour in a large pot, made them into round shapes and put them in the dustpan one by one.

After finishing all these tasks, I can't rest anymore. Taking advantage of this time, I heated up the oil and fried the sweet potato balls.

When the sky was bright, the stove and the cauldron were moved outside the shop and put away. There were two cauldrons, one for cooking glutinous rice balls and one for oil. After they were put away, two square tables and eight benches were placed beside them.

After finishing these, Chen Chunhua sat down with a chair, took out the fried sweet potato balls and let the oil dry for a while and put them on the dustpan.

Soon, passers-by were attracted by the stall.

"Boss, what is this?" After seeing Chen Chunhua's stall one after another, people gathered around, because they had never seen this thing before, so it was very strange.

Chen Chunhua was busy with her hands, and said. "This is potato melon balls, do you want to buy some?"

"Potato melon balls? But they are made of potato melons. How much is a piece?"

"It's cheap, it costs a penny!" The potato melon is cheap, mainly because the oil is expensive. There is no peanut, rapeseed oil for sale here, so it can only be fried with lard. It's okay to eat and fry it now.

"That's a good relationship, the boss will give me three!" As the man said, he took out his purse, counted three copper coins, and handed them to Chen Chunhua. Three potato melon balls were skewered and handed over.

The man took it and ate it immediately, mumbled. "Oh, the balls made of potatoes and melons are delicious. They are soft and not greasy!"

After hearing this, Chen Chunhua said. "If it tastes good, buy more. I'll put it here for a few days, and I'll go back after a few days!" There is sugar in the sweet potato balls, which is naturally sweet.

When other people saw it, they immediately paid for it and bought some.Fortunately, a lot of it was blown up before it was taken out, otherwise it would be too busy, the last thing this shopper likes is waiting.

When the ones that were fried before are sold, the ones in this pot will be fried again.Business is also very good.

"The glutinous rice balls should be ready, Qiu Ju, open the lid of the pot!" Chen Chunhua said, and Qiu Ju immediately lifted the lid of the pot, and after a layer of mist drifted away, she saw the three-colored glutinous rice balls, and there was a glimpse of them. lost appetite.

Chen Chunhua looked at it.Then he opened his throat and said. "Tangyuan, delicious and inexpensive Tangyuan, five cents for a big bowl!"

As soon as he yelled, passers-by on the road heard the sound and came, including those who bought sweet potato balls.

"Hey, Boss, what you're making is a new thing. I've never seen it before, and I don't know what it tastes like. It's not expensive for five cents a bowl!" A pretty girl said, road. "Give me a bowl and taste this taste!"

"Okay, Qiu Ju serves this girl a bowl!" Qiu Ju was also unambiguous, with quick hands and feet.He took the bowl and filled a large bowl, put a spoon in it and brought it to the table.road. "Girl eat slowly, it's a little hot!"

"Hey, why haven't I seen you a few times before?" The girl stirred for a while with a spoon, scooped up a spoon, blew on it, and put it into her mouth. Qiu Ju stood by and watched carefully. Seeing the girl's expression, she was relieved when she saw her eyes lit up and she nodded again and again.

"It's delicious, and the five cents is too cheap, it's really worth it!"

After hearing this, Qiu Ju stopped standing, and those who gathered around saw that someone had eaten, and asked for a bowl too.Such a big bowl is only five cents, which is the money of two steamed buns. Compared with it, it is indeed really cheap.

Qiu Ju was too busy at the moment, so when the third child finished moving the things, she hurried to help, brought the glutinous rice balls to the table, and collected the money by the way.

"Boss, bring me five potato melon balls. I eat them well, so I'll take them back for others to try!"

"Good Le!"

It didn't stop this morning. Chen Chunhua originally wondered if these things would be sold out, but she didn't expect the business in this area to be so good. After one night of preparation, they were almost sold out.

"Third brother, the potatoes and melons are cooked, quickly take them out and glutinous rice flour, there are not many here!" Chen Chunhua took advantage of this gap to stand up and move around, while Qiu Ju put away the bowl and wiped the table, road. "Sister-in-law, there are so many people here. There was no place to sit and eat just now, and they were just waiting!"

"I can't help it. There's only room for two tables here. If you go further, it will hinder other people's business!"

"I know the business is so good, this shop should have opened in the county!" Qiu Ju thought, but Chen Chunhua knew that this was just a novelty, no one would come to eat this thing every day. "I'm so busy driving in the town that my heels can't touch the ground, but I still come to the county town, so save!"

"That's right, the money is endless, so don't be exhausted!"

It was almost noon, and the number of talents gradually decreased. A large pot of glutinous rice balls was sold out, and finally the pot was taken away. Qiu Ju was so hungry that she scraped the bottom of the pot and ate it. Still muttering, should have eaten some.

The owner of the fabric store saw that Chen Chunhua's business was so good, so he didn't bother her. When she was about to close the stall, he came out and bought sweet potato balls. He thought it was for him to eat. Sure enough, he is a businessman, and he doesn't accept favors easily.

Chen Chunhua didn't go back to the shop, and when the third child made up the ingredients for the sweet potato balls, they started frying them. The business hadn't been interrupted, and people couldn't leave. Qiu Ju went back to get some food while there were not many people. My personal lunch is so so-so.

It was not until it was almost dark that Chen Chunhua closed the stall. It is common for people who have eaten sweet potato balls to buy it several times.

"Third brother, you go to the street where you eat noodles and come back with two catties of cooked meat. Treat us well tonight!"

"Success, I'll go now!" The third child said and handed the heavy purse to Chen Chunhua.

Back in the yard, Chen Chunhua slumped on the chair, rubbed her sore shoulders, and said. "It's really tiring. I guess there will be more people tomorrow. I have to rest tonight. I'll start working after dinner!"

Qiu Ju nodded and said. "Buy more today, and the business will have to stop tomorrow. I see that glutinous rice balls are selling fast, and the people who will buy them later still want to eat them!"

Speaking of this, Chen Chunhua was also happy in her heart. If this thing is cheap but not expensive, the business will be good.Whether it is a rich person or a small family, they are living a real life. Who would not want to buy good things that are not expensive!

Thinking about it, he put the money bag on the table, poured out the copper coins inside, and said. "Qiu Ju, come and help me count!"

This county is very good. I am happy to buy things. I don’t need to look for them. There are also many rich people who come to patronize. I just want to find something new. It’s hard to find for a tael of silver, and I don’t let you look for it. He took his things and left.

He took out the broken pieces of silver and put them away, and counted them, but it was okay if he didn't count them, he was startled when he counted them, 12 taels of silver, how many sweet potatoes and glutinous rice balls he had to sell, but it was luck.

The two counted copper coins, five taels and two coins, and they counted the losers.

"My mother, I made a lot of money today!" Qiu Ju said, counting so much money for the first time, grabbing a handful of copper coins with both hands. "Sister-in-law, I have learned a lot this time!"

"What kind of knowledge, my little star is not comparable to those big families, it's all the money to support the family!" Chen Chunhua made up his mind, the five taels of money, except for the purchase of glutinous rice, sugar, wolfberry and candied dates, and the yard. Rent, the profit is only two or three!

Chen Chunhua's goal is not here. She is naturally happy to make money, but she is also exhausted to death. "Qiu Ju, you're exhausted too, I'll give you a raise in the future!"

After hearing this, Qiu Ju quickly waved her hand and said. "Sister-in-law, don't raise it for me. I live and eat in the shop. I can't do enough work. Er Zhu and I will eat whatever you eat. We live together, the good and the bad, and the price goes up to me. , I feel bad about it too!"

Qiu Ju herself is very clear in her heart. After the accident with the two pillars, there is no one to support her in the house. If the elder sister-in-law is not kind-hearted, where will she live and eat? If there is no flood, she can still work in the field. , I borrowed some food from my eldest brother to support him, but the second pillar failed, he was injured, he had to drink medicine, and he needed money for everything. The situation in the eldest brother’s house was not much better, and he had two children.

After hearing this, Chen Chunhua patted Qiu Ju's hand and said. "I still say this now, I don't have much ability, I can still eat and live, and the food in this house is not very good. If there is nothing else, I will not starve you. Wait until you get rich later. , I'm still counting on taking some light!"

Qiu Ju knew that Chen Chunhua was telling her to stay away, but she really didn't know what to say, so she nodded. "Sister-in-law, thank you very much. If you weren't here, I don't know what to do. Erzhu is in good health for a while, so I'll take him to see the doctor again when I go back!" I entrusted my elder brother to take care of Erzhu, so I was naturally relieved.

When the third child came back from buying the meat, Chen Chunhua had already cooked the rice, and she really missed the taste of the rice.Cooked meat is only cooked, with salt in it, also called salted meat.

"It's time to eat. Let's eat rice tonight. Third brother and Qiu Ju, if you are not used to it, there are still two nests in the pot to make do with!"

"What do you mean you can't get used to it? I've eaten this rice before, and it's delicious. Let's put it aside. In the first year of my marriage, Er Zhu bought two catties of rice and cooked it. I ate it that time. I will not be willing to buy it in the future!"

"I'm used to eating. I used to go out to work, and my boss was rich. I ate a few meals. This rice is easy to swallow, and it's very soft!"

When Chen Chunhua heard this, she couldn't help feeling sour. It turned out that it wasn't that no one ate rice here, but that she was reluctant to buy it.Rice is indeed expensive, white flour is not often bought for them, and what they eat is corn mush. Thinking of this, they couldn't help but say. "In the future, we will also grow rice in our house!"

"Sister-in-law, let's forget about this kind of rice. It's good to eat it once in a while. If you grow rice, you don't have to rush around. One mu of good land can harvest hundreds of catties. There are some catties." Qiu Ju didn't agree with this statement at all.

The third child did not speak, looked at Chen Chunhua for a while, and said. "Why is the daughter-in-law thinking about growing rice?"

"Rice is delicious. If you grow it yourself, you don't need to buy it, and you can eat it often!" Her idea is as simple as that! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
