Powerful Minister Buddha-like Sweet Wife - Chapter 40

The night before, Liu Tangxi said that the hawthorn core should be removed.

Although there is basically no nucleation on the market, she has loved to eat candied haws since she was a child, and she likes nucleated ones.

Because Liu Tangxi has the so-called secret recipe, and Li and others have never sold candied haws, they listened to her.

One day later, when Liu Tangxi went to bed together, he found that Li had pitted the candied haws of good quality picked out yesterday.

Moreover, Li urged her a few words: “The third daughter-in-law, are you up? Hurry up and cook with your sister-in-law. Make a good meal and make candied haws. Take it to the town and sell it. I’m afraid it’s too late. nobody.”

Liu Tangxi reflected on it.

She didn’t regard the sale of candied haws as a major event, so she didn’t care much. But this matter was a big deal for Li, and it was still a big deal.

Thinking of this, her hand moves faster.

After dinner, Liu Tangxi went to make candied haws.

All the previous things were done by Li, and what she did was the last two processes, boiling soup and dipping sugar.

Liu Tangxi moved fast, and it didn’t take long enough to finish all the hawthorns Li had prepared.

There are round and flat ones.

Seeing that the hawthorns were almost running out, Li looked at the shelf full of candied haws, and couldn’t help but say, “The third wife, too much, right?”

Liu Tangxi glanced at the candied haws shelf that was not too full, and said, “Not too much.”

“Didn’t we say yesterday that we could only make 30 skewers?” Li asked.

The reason why she prepared so many hawthorns was actually because she was afraid that it would not be enough, and she also habitually prepared more things. But she didn’t expect her daughter-in-law to do it all.

Liu Tangxi is because of self-confidence.

Therefore, after hearing Li’s words, Liu Tangxi smiled and said: “I think my mother has prepared so much, don’t waste it, just use it.”

Li frowned, but stopped talking.

“Mother, don’t worry, it will definitely be sold, trust me.” Liu Tangxi assured.

Li has never sold candied haws, so he brought some apples when he went to the town to buy things.

This time it is really bottomless.

Listening to their conversation, Wei Lao San said: “Just do it, take it all, and how much you can sell.”

Although Wei Laosan said so, in fact, he was a little worried.

However, he also looks forward to selling out these candied haws.

After finishing, in order to prevent the candied haws from getting dirty on the road, they covered the shelf with a layer of cloth. A few longer bamboo strips were inserted on the shelf so that the cloth would not touch the candied haws and would not remove the sugar on them.

Everything was ready and they went out with the candied haws.

Because it was the first time to sell, and the shelves of candied haws and fifty bunches of candied haws were quite heavy, so Wei Lao San, Li’s, Zhang’s and Liu Tangxi went to town together.

In this case, there are many people and confidence, and four people can change hands.

When I walked in the village, I met few people. Even if they met, someone asked what to do, they said they would go to town to sell something.

Because they didn’t see what was under the cloth, the other party didn’t know what they were doing.

At the beginning, several people were talking and laughing.

However, when they were approaching the town, Wei Lao San and others gradually became silent, and their expressions became more and more tense.

Liu Tangxi is quite calm, she just feels too tired.

Soon, she noticed the emotions of the other three people, but she didn’t say anything at the moment. After all, I will be in town soon, and I will know if I can sell it.

However, I didn’t expect that before they got to the town, a child who walked over spotted their candied haws shelf sharp-eyed.

“Hey, it’s candied haws.” After passing by, the child looked at the candied haws shelf and said.

The child is short, and from his angle he can see the candied haws under the cloth.

Hearing this, Wei Laosan, who was carrying the candied haws, stopped.

The child swallowed and stared at the candied haws.

Seeing that Li and the others were a little nervous, Liu Tangxi smiled and said, “Yes, it’s candied haws.”

After hearing this, the child’s mother asked, “How do you sell this candied haws?”

Liu Tangxi quickly opened some of the cloth on it, and said naturally: “A penny is a string.”

“Is it delicious? It doesn’t look very big.” The woman looked at it and said.

“It’s not delicious and I’ll give it to you for free.” Liu Tangxi said generously.

That person was just habitually picky. When he heard Liu Tangxi’s words, he looked at her face again, and for some reason, he immediately believed her words.

“Let’s have a bunch,” the woman said.

A penny is not expensive.

Liu Tangxi picked a bunch of big ones for her and said, “Now, here you are.”

The woman took the candied haws and handed it to her son.

The child immediately took the candied haws and ate it.

When the woman was taking the money, she asked her son, “Is it delicious?”

“Well, it’s delicious, so sweet.” The child nodded and said.

Hearing what her son said, the woman smiled on her face and handed a penny to Liu Tangxi.

After giving the money, seeing her son biting a new one again, the woman quickly said: “Why did you forget to spit out the nucleus again.”

The child looked dazed, with wide eyes open, and said, “This is not nuclear.”

The woman seemed a little unbelievable.

Liu Tangxi quickly explained: “There are indeed no nuclei. Our children also like to eat candied haws, and often forget to vomit nuclei, so we removed all the nuclei. My mother got up early in the morning to get these.”

After hearing this, the woman glanced at Li with admiration and said: “That’s good, I will buy yours in the future.”

Liu Tangxi smiled and said, “Okay, just go to the town in the future. We will sell it in the town day after day.”

“Row.”

After the woman took the child away, Wei Lao San and others finally showed a smile on their faces.

Li looked particularly excited, feeling that he hadn’t gotten up early in the morning in vain.

“I sold a bunch so soon.” Zhang sighed.

Liu Tangxi smiled and said, “Isn’t it? Our candied haws are delicious, and my mother cleans the nucleus again. It will be easier later, so don’t worry.”

Li’s smile deepened after hearing this.

Because of the success of selling a bunch, everyone feels a lot more relaxed.

Soon, a group of people arrived in town.

At this moment, the people who got up early and sold vegetables started to go back one after another.

The stalls that had been crowded were a lot vacant, and there were still a few good spots available.

After paying the booth fee, Liu Tangxi and others sold it here.

Liu Tangxi thought about sitting aside and watching, but stopped talking. Reluctantly, the other three people arrived for the first time, and they were quite nervous, and no one opened their mouths.

Therefore, she had to learn to sell tofu.

“Selling candied haws, delicious candied haws, a bunch of money for a penny, coreless, delicious and not expensive.”

The sudden voice of Liu Tangxi frightened Li, but gradually, she also tried to shout like a daughter-in-law.

Candied haws are a favorite food for children, so one after another, children began to buy candied haws.

Regardless of the publicity, in the final analysis, we still have to talk about product quality.

The candied haws made by Liutangxi taste very good, and there is no core inside, and there are two kinds of round and flat ones. Gradually, more and more people gathered around here to buy candied haws.

Wei Lao San was holding on to the shelf, Li’s picking candied haws, Zhang’s collecting money, Liu Tangxi was in charge of the talk.

After an hour or so, all fifty bunches of candied haws were sold out.

Wei Daniu and Wei Erhu wanted to take a look at them while they were having lunch, but they didn’t expect that the candied haws had been sold out when they found them.

“Why so fast, all thirty strings are sold out?” Wei Erhu asked in surprise.

Li said with a smile, “It’s not thirty, it’s fifty.”

Wei Daniu and Wei Erhu glanced at each other, and both showed shocked expressions.

After saying a few words, Wei Lao San asked his son: “Okay, you go back and rest for a while, and work hard. Your mother and I will go back first.”

He was in a good mood at the moment, and was anxious to go back and settle the accounts, temporarily not wanting to say anything to his son.

Wei Daniu said: “Hey, okay, my parents will go back and rest. Or else, leave this shelf here, and I will take it with Erhu when we go back.”

Wei Laosan waved his hand and said with a smile: “This thing is not sinking. I am in good health. I don’t need you.”

Wei Daniu raised his head to cushion the weight of the shelf, and said, “Well, then you go back and rest.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

The fifty bunches of candied haws were all sold out, which made Wei Lao San suddenly feel a little more fighting spirit and joy in his heart.

When we went back, Wei Laosan chatted with Li.

Liu Tangxi looked at the expressions of Wei Lao San and Li’s. When passing by a pork stall, he looked at the big bones on it and swallowed his saliva.

“Mother, why don’t we buy some big bones and go back to make the soup?”

She doesn’t know whether this big bone can supplement calcium, but what she knows is that she really likes the taste of bone soup, and she drools when she thinks about it.

The big bones are not expensive and are usually sold with other meat.

Li looked at the big smooth bone, saw that there was no meat on it, frowned, and said, “What do you buy this for? There is no meat.”

The meat sellers are about to close their stalls. When they saw someone hit his big bones, he immediately said enthusiastically: “Manny, buy it back. The soup is very delicious. You will be charged two cents for these three sticks.”

Anyway, there is no meat on this big bone.

After hearing two pennies, Liu Tangxi’s eyes lit up.

This is too cheap.

“Mother, buy it, my daughter-in-law will do it, and keep it delicious.” Liu Tangxi said.

Two pennies are not expensive, and today’s candied haws made a lot of money, which is a loss to my daughter-in-law, so before Li’s words, Wei Lao San spoke.

“Buy it, or don’t weigh two or two meats anymore, and give the children a tooth ritual.”

They haven’t seen the meat for many days.

As soon as the butcher heard this, he immediately became energetic.

However, the next moment, Liu Tangxi poured cold water on him: “Father, I only ate so much meat during the Chinese New Year, and I guess the children don’t want to eat it. Otherwise, buying some pigskins would be considered a bit fishy.”

She has seen it, and the meat is left over from other people’s picks, and it’s not very fresh. But she is not the one who likes to talk about others, so she didn’t point it out.

“Okay, you can figure it out.” Wei Lao San said with a smile.

But after spending five cents, Liu Tangxi bought a lot of pig bones and pig skins. On the way back, he smiled so badly.

“These bones are used to make soup for the children, and the pig skin is made into aspic to eat. These things are delicious and not expensive, and there is meat.”

She doesn’t like eating meat that much, and she really eats a lot during the Chinese New Year.

However, thinking of the big bone soup and aspic that hadn’t been drunk in a long time, she was a little eager to eat.

Wei Lao San and Li are very pleased to see that their daughter-in-law will live so sensibly.

Of course, even though the two of them are not very greedy when thinking about the craftsmanship of their daughter-in-law, they are also full of expectations for dinner.

After returning home, everyone hastily ate some meals and then started to forget it.

Hawthorn did not cost money, bamboo sticks did not cost money, only sugar and stall fees were spent.

After careful calculation, they made 25 cents in the past half day.

However, this is because the hawthorn did not cost money. Fifty bunches of candied haws used about ten catties of hawthorn. One catty of hawthorn costs one cent, and ten catties is ten cents. Therefore, they can be regarded as earning fifteen cents.

Almost three bunches of candied haws make a penny.

The eldest son and the second son are mature men. If they go to work, they can earn more than ten cents a day. They can earn so much in half a day. The old couple’s mouths have never been closed.

After the calculation, Wei San didn’t rest anymore, and ran to the back mountain to chop bamboo.

Liu Tangxi walked for about an hour. He was already too tired at the moment. After eating, he went to sleep.

After waking up, seeing Lao San Wei cutting the bamboo sticks, he quickly asked: “Father, why didn’t you go to rest?”

Wei Lao San smiled and said, “I’m not tired, it’s nothing to do this little job.”

He was happy to be able to make money. He didn’t feel tired at all, but he felt full of energy.

Looking aside, Li was also picking hawthorns there, picking out all the bad ones and the bad-looking ones.

Seeing them busy, Liu Tangxi went to the stove to deal with big bones and skins.

After processing, put the big bones on the big stove and boil them, the meat skin is chopped up, put water and seasonings on the small stove and boil slowly.

Because it took a long time to boil, Liu Tangxi put a few large pieces of firewood on the bottom of the pot and let it boil on its own.

After washing her hands, she took her embroidery work and sat aside while embroidering while looking at the bottom of the pot.

At dinner, the bone soup was boiled, Liu Tangxi put some coriander in it, and dripped a few drops of sesame oil, the fragrance of the bone soup became more intense.

As soon as Bosheng entered the door, he ran to the kitchen and saw that Liu Tangxi was busy with a smile on his face.

After taking a deep breath, Uncle Sheng asked, “Auntie, what have you made delicious, it’s so delicious.”

“Auntie made a pot of bone soup, go wash your hands and eat right away.”

“Hey, all right.” Bosheng ran to wash his hands excitedly.

Although the skin of the meat was cooked, it was still hot at the moment and did not form. Therefore, Liu Tangxi took it out and put it aside without serving it to the table.

Seeing this, I guess I can eat it tomorrow morning.

At dinner, everyone was full of praise for the bone soup made by Liu Tangxi.

Li said: “I really didn’t expect this bone soup to be so delicious. No one eats that thing on weekdays.”

Wei Lao San smiled and said, “Well, this stuff is cheap and has a meaty taste. Buy more in the future to relieve your children’s hunger.”

The bone soup is delicious, not only the children, but also the adults drank two bowls.

After the meal, Wei Lao San talked about going to town to sell candied haws.

“A total of 25 wen was earned. This is because Hawthorn did not spend any money. The hawthorn was sent by your second uncle. It is considered as a public servant. Ten catties of hawthorn and ten wen. In all, I earned 15 wen. In this way, Boss The second family pays two cents per person, and the third family pays ten cents.”

Wei Daniu and Wei Erhu quickly refused.

Wei Daniu said: “This is the secret recipe of the third younger siblings, and the third younger brother’s family is also the one who makes money.”

Wei Erhu said: “We didn’t help much, so we won’t take the money. Just give the money to the third brother’s house.”

Liu Tangxi also refused.

She came up with the matter of candied haws not to make money, and the money for selling candied haws was a drop in the bucket for her, and she didn’t know what was going on when she arrived in Beijing.

Moreover, she also saves money for embroidery.

She just wants to improve the quality of life and eat more delicious food.

“I don’t want the money, please keep it with my parents.”

Wei Daniu and Wei Erhu don’t want it. Everyone didn’t expect Liu Tangxi to ask for it.

“Although the method is what I thought, and the craftsmanship is with me, in fact, I didn’t do much work. I just did some small tasks of making sugar and dipping sugar. The bamboo sticks were made by my father, and the hawthorn was handled by my mother. Go When I was in town, most of the time the candied haws frame was resisted by my parents and my sisters. I didn’t have the strength in my hands, and I couldn’t resist for long. At most, I just ran errands with me. I thought, I didn’t go to town. It’s too useful. Moreover, there are so many jobs at home that you can’t just leave it to Er’s wife. In a few days, I will not go if my parents get started. My parents have worked hard, so you can get the money yourself. I’ll be fine. If I really think I’m gong, I’ll buy more delicious food when I come back.”

I said a lot of modesty and politeness in front of it all nonsense, and this last sentence is Liu Tangxi’s original intention.

Liu Tangxi’s remarks made Wei and his wife very comfortable. However, they are all kind people, and they won’t really stop giving her money.

After discussing it for a long time, seeing that the wife of Wei Lao San insisted on letting her take it, Liu Tangxi thought for a while, and to make them feel at ease. Okay, how about keeping the other money parents?”

After pushing off like this, it’s endless, Wei Lao San finally decided: “Okay.”

The reason why Wei Lao San was settled was because he thought of their purpose of saving money now. They work so hard to make money, isn’t it just for the third child to study? The money is the same with them and with the third daughter-in-law.

If Liu Tangxi only had five articles, Wei Daniel and Wei Erhu naturally didn’t ask for money.

Early the next morning, Liu Tangxi had aspic.

She drank bone soup the day before and ate aspic today. She felt that the good days were back again.

After the meal, just like yesterday, Liu Tangxi and Zhang followed to the town.

After two or three days, Liu Tangxi and Zhang stopped following, and Wei Lao San and his wife went.

Every three to five, Wei Lao San and his wife will buy some bones, skins, or spare ribs and meat from the town.

Looking at the four dishes on the table again, Liu Tangxi felt very comfortable.

I keep feeling in my heart, this is life!

There was a market in the town on this day, and Wei Lao San and his wife sold out the candied haws in less than half an hour. Seeing the disappointed departure of the guests who didn’t buy it, Wei Laosan regretted a bit.

When he returned that day, he got more bamboo sticks and planned to bring more tomorrow.

But if you bring more weight, you will increase your weight. It takes an hour to go back and forth to the town, and Liu Tangxi is really afraid that these two people will not be able to bear it.

However, Wei Daniu thought of a way and asked Wei Laosan and his wife to ride a mule cart from the village to the town to sell vegetables.

In this way, convenience is convenient, but the mule cart has to collect money, and one person pays a penny.

Wei Laosan refused at first.

But later, Liu Tangxi said, “Father, although you and your mother spent two cents, you don’t have to carry the candied haws stand by yourself, but you can make a few more. If you earn one cent for three, then you can make six more. String, isn’t it all right.”

Wei Daniu and others responded to Liu Tangxi’s words one after another.

Wei Lao San pondered for a while and agreed.

However, they just went in the car, and when they came back they would carry the candied haws.

With a car, there are more things you can bring.

Wei Laosan and his wife also sold more candied haws every day. When the day came to go to the market, two people carried a rack, each with fifty skewers.

Wei Daniu and Wei Erhu were afraid that they would be tired, so they took the burden of carrying the shelves.

Therefore, Wei and Lao San took a mule car to the town every day, sold out, left the shelf to their son, and the old couple walked back.

After returning, I rested for a while at noon and started making bamboo sticks again.

Liu Tangxi’s life finally returned to normal, and it seemed to be better than what he had eaten before, and he was very happy.

Wei Laosan and Li are busy selling candied haws and counting money, smiling all day long.

When Wei Hanzhou returned home from the county seat, the first sentence he received was from his mother Li, who had always cared about him.

“Huh, why are you back today?”

Wei Hanzhou wouldn’t be surprised if this sentence were spoken from his wife’s mouth, but he felt that something was wrong when it was spoken from his wife’s mouth. However, even though there were doubts in his heart, Wei Hanzhou still said calmly on his face: “Well, the master is on vacation, and my son can come back for three days.”

Li seemed to have heard it, and didn’t seem to hear what his son said, so he responded hastily: “Oh, that’s it. I’m busy here. Go back to the house first, and let your wife cook for you later. eat.”

After speaking, Li went out.

Seeing his mother’s back quickly disappearing at the door, Wei Hanzhou frowned.

Is his mother too unenthusiastic about him?

Did something big happened at home that he didn’t know about?

Isn’t it Dad…

No, the mother’s face seems to be brighter than when he left, and from the back, it seems to be a bit fatter.

Just when he was stunned, a soft voice rang: “Ah, mate, it’s you. Why did you come back so soon?”

She remembered that Wei Hanzhou wrote a letter earlier, saying that he was busy studying recently and didn’t have time to come back. It didn’t take long to receive the letter. Why did he come back?

Wei Hanzhou was disgusted by two women one after another, his face was not pretty, and his tone was a little blunt: “My husband has been away from home for more than two months, come home and have a look.”

“Oh, it’s been so long, I thought it hadn’t been long since I left.”

Wei Hanzhou:…

The author has something to say: Wei Hanzhou: So angry! I was so angry that I couldn’t speak.

Liu Tangxi: Then don’t talk about it ╮(╯▽╰)╭,,
