Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou went to the grain shop near the market.
On the way, Su Ergou excitedly asked his sister: "Sister, how long do we have to sell?"
"Up to three days." Su Xiaoxiao said.
As the new year is approaching, there are fewer and fewer customers in the town, and their business seems to be unaffected. The main reason is that there are many repeat customers, and everyone wants to buy new year's goods. Once the new year is over, almost no one comes out to buy.
"It's only been three days." Su Ergou was disappointed.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him amusedly: "You like selling cakes so much?"
"En." Su Ergou nodded.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "It's cold and frozen, and people point fingers at you, don't you feel tired and annoying? In summer, it's hot and sunny, and you may have heat stroke. Don't you think it's better to lie down at home?"
Su Ergou shook his head like a rattle: "But if you lie at home, you will be hungry."
Su Xiaoxin felt emotional, and raised his hand to touch the back of his head: "I won't make you hungry again in the future."
With the introduction of new products, the types of ingredients they need are also increasing. Yesterday, she ordered 20 catties of glutinous rice flour, 30 catties of sugar, 50 catties of flour and 100 duck eggs in the shop.
The salted egg yolks used in the egg yolk crisps were pickled by herself. She didn't know if there were salted duck eggs sold in the capital, but there were none in the town anyway.
As soon as the egg yolk cake came out, it immediately became the new favorite of everyone.
However, due to the high cost of egg yolk cakes, the price is also sold at twenty-five yuan a piece, and the student reservation is twenty-three yuan.
This price is still cheaper than Kam Kee's dim sum, so it sells well.
The two came to the grain shop and unexpectedly met their eldest aunt Huang.
Since laughing at Su's family last time, Huang has hated Fatty Su, and she has been thinking about how to get back the place, but it just so happened that this fat man came to her door!
"Hey, I don't know who it is, isn't this the little white-eyed wolf that I don't know well?"
Hearing Huang's yin and yang words, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Huang asked sullenly.
Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "I laugh at my aunt who can't speak, so don't say it, so as not to lose the face of the scholar's son."
Huang slumped angrily: "You—"
Su Xiaoxiao said bluntly: "What am I? My aunt didn't give birth to me, and she didn't raise me. Why did I become a white-eyed wolf who didn't know how to raise me? I really want to call a white-eyed wolf who sucked the blood, sweat and silver of the deceased sister-in-law and treated her so harshly. Don't you look more like the aunt of the two children of the deceased sister-in-law?"
Mrs. Huang has already experienced this girl's eloquence, but she can experience it again, and she is still so angry!
She pointed at Su Xiaoxiao's nose: "You, you, you...don't be too arrogant, girl! Your cousin is going to study in Fucheng soon! When he is admitted to the Juren Master, you guys will look good on him!"
If you are admitted as a scholar, you don't have to kneel down to the county magistrate, and if you are admitted to the master of Juren, it will only be more beautiful!
Thinking of this, Huang finally calmed down a bit.
She straightened her back and said, "Damn girl, just wait and see! The first thing your cousin did was drive you out of town!"
Get kicked out of the town, what a big tone!
However, Master Juren is indeed very rare and powerful in this dynasty, especially in such a remote town, there are very few of them, and if one comes out, it is not an exaggeration to say that he can turn a carp into a dragon.
Chen Haoyuan can't really win the exam, can he?
Su Xiaoxiao's pensive look fell into Huang's eyes, which undoubtedly became a kind of guilty conscience and fear.
Mrs. Huang is very proud!
Let you offend me, now you know how powerful I am!
"Girl! It's too late to regret it now! Even if you beg me on your knees, I can't agree to your marriage with Erlang!"
Who will be your daughter-in-law!
Is Wei Ting not handsome? Or is Wei Ting's waist bad?
However, what Huang said was correct, after Chen Haoyuan was elected, the life of Xiao Su's family will not be easy.
Mrs. Huang said to the shop owner: "You, don't do her business. In the future, my son will become a master of Juren, and he will come to your house to buy!"
After all, she walked away triumphantly.
Su Ergou snorted and said, "I haven't passed the exam yet, but I'm going to be called first. Boss, here it is!"
He handed the money bag to the boss.
Unexpectedly, the boss did not answer.
"What's wrong?" Su Ergou asked.
The boss's eyes flashed, and he hesitated and said, "You, take the money back."
"Why not?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
The boss said: "This morning!"
Su Xiaoxiao said: "I made a reservation yesterday, you should sell it to me first."
"I..." The boss was flustered by Su Xiaoxiao's eyes, and he turned around to organize the food bags, "Girl, you can buy them elsewhere, I'm gone!"
Su Ergou said angrily: "Hey! You must be honest in business! You won't sell the flour you agreed on, what do you want us to make pancakes with? Don't you really believe her? Her son is just a scholar. Not a single stroke—who knows if it will hit?"
The boss wondered: "I can't help it, girl, go buy it elsewhere!"
"you--"
"Forget it, Ergou, let's go."
Su Xiaoxiao took Su Ergou out of the shop.
Su Ergou complained: "Sister, why are you stopping me? He is a big man, how can he be bluffed by a woman?"
"It's not Huang's." Su Xiaoxiao said.
For the change of Su Xiaoxiao's address, Su Ergou adapted very quickly and felt extremely comfortable.
Su Ergou asked suspiciously: "It's not her, what's going on? Why did the boss go back on his word and not sell it to us?"
Su Xiaoxiao had a guess in her mind, she thought about it, and said: "Let's go, go to another shop and ask."
There used to be quite a few flour stalls in the market, all of them were folks from different villages. It was almost Chinese New Year, and they were leaving their stalls, so Su Xiaoxiao came to buy in the shop.
Su Xiaoxiao remembered that there were two other houses nearby.
However, when they came to buy, they all said they were sold out without exception.
"Isn't that bag of white flour?" Su Ergou asked, pointing to a bag of flour in front of the counter.
The boss of this shop said with a sneer: "That... was ordered by someone else, and I paid all the money."
"What about this?" Su Ergou found a bag of flour behind the rice vat, "What are you hiding?"
The boss smiled stiffly: "I, I eat at home, it's almost Chinese New Year."
The two came out of the third shop.
Su Ergou finally couldn't help it anymore: "Sister, what's going on? In the past, during Chinese New Year, flour wasn't so hard to buy."
That's right, it's not a year of disaster or famine, the price of food is stable, there shouldn't be a shortage of supplies, not to mention that rice and wheat are not out of stock, only flour is gone.
It's really strange.
Su Ergou said: "I remembered, there is also a rice noodle shop in Xitou, but it's a bit far away. Sister, you wait for me here, I'll go buy it!"
As he said, he put on the basket and was about to leave.
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head: "No need, no one will sell it to us."
Su Ergou was stunned: "Why?"
Su Xiaoxiao stared ahead and said calmly: "Business is so good that it hinders some people's eyes."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou went to the grain shop near the market.
