The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

"Mr. Cheng, is alum expensive?"

Cheng Feng said: "It's not expensive, it's affordable, you can all afford it."

“Where will it be sold?”

Cheng Feng said, "There are more people coming and going on this street, so I'll sell it on this street." Cheng Feng pointed and said, "Uncle, come find me there tomorrow. I'll sell alum, candles and incense over there."

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely come find you tomorrow."

During this trip, several people bought a bunch of things in large and small bags, all of which were things needed for steaming buns. They were determined to sell buns the next day.

The idea was good, but it was troublesome to do. The fifth brother and his wife got up in the middle of the night and knocked on Cheng Feng and Shang Xi's windows halfway through their work. Cheng Feng did not sleep well, and she woke up when she heard the sound of chopping stuffing coming from the kitchen. At this time, the fifth brother knocked on the window again, and he became alert.

"Cheng Feng——"

The fifth brother's voice was not loud, but Cheng Feng heard it clearly. He responded with a hoarse voice, "I'll be right there."

Shang Xi was so frightened that she trembled, "Is there a bad guy?"

Cheng Feng said, "It was Brother Five who was knocking on the window."

Shang Xi turned over and sat up. Cheng Feng rarely saw her so agile. "Why are you sitting up?"

Shang Xi said: "Are the buns ready? Are we going to go to the street to sell them?" Shang Xi deftly put on the clothes she had found last night.

Cheng Feng said helplessly: "Why did you get up to join in the fun?"

Shang Xi said: "Isn't today the business opening? I have to go and help sell the goods."

Cheng Feng said: "Don't you see what time it is? It's not even daybreak yet."

Shang Xi said: "You should start selling buns early, because that's how hard it is to sell them."

Cheng Feng said: "Baozi, it's not ready yet."

"Ah? Then why are you calling us?"

Cheng Feng said: "I didn't call you, I called me."

Shang Xi said, "I'm only halfway through my clothes, so I'll just get up. They won't be able to wrap so many buns on the first day, so I'll go and help them out."

Cheng Feng was also getting dressed. He sighed, "I shouldn't be selling buns. If I keep going like this, I'll have to get up early every day."

Shang Xi had already put on her shoes and went to bed, "When did you become lazy? I didn't like getting up in the past, why is it your turn now?"

Cheng Feng said: "I just want to let Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-law take a break. Making buns is more tiring than making noodles."

As they were talking, two people walked out. Seeing them, the fifth brother said anxiously, "Cheng Feng, where is the well?"

Cheng Feng asked, "Have the two large vats of water in the yard been used up?"

The fifth brother said, "We are in the food business, and what matters is not only the taste, but also the cleanliness. We have two vats of water, and most of it is used up just for washing. Please tell me where the well is. I am waiting for water."

At this time, Shang Xi had already run to the front of the kitchen to look at the two large vats, and there was really not much water left.

Cheng Feng scratched his head and said, "There is no well."

"Where is the well? Take me there. I saw the guards patrolling back and forth, so I didn't dare to go out for fear that they would mistake me for a bad guy and take me away."

Cheng Feng said, "There is no well in this mansion."

"What? There's no well in this dignified mansion?"

Cheng Feng said: "Let alone this mansion, there is not a single well with water in the entire Mochun County. Otherwise, how could so many people be employed to build a water conservancy project?"

"What? Where can I get water?"

Cheng Feng said: "In the lake, there is a lake in this city."

“Can lake water be drunk directly?”

Cheng Feng said: "It was because the tea was not tasty that the old man who sold tea asked me to buy alum to treat the water."

The fifth brother slapped his head and said, "What should we do with our buns? We've only got half of them."

Cheng Feng said, "It's okay. I'll go to the dining hall and bring a few buckets of water. When the servants in the mansion get up, I'll fill the water tank in the yard with water."

The fifth brother said, "I'll go with you. The buns are waiting to be put into the pot."

The two men hurried out.

Shang Xi went to the kitchen to look for the fifth sister-in-law, "Fifth sister-in-law."

"Shang Xi, why are you still up? I don't need you here. I've almost finished packing."

Shang Xi washed her hands and said, "Let's wrap them together. What kind of filling do you want?"

The fifth sister-in-law said, "It's also cabbage and meat. There's less meat, but more oil. The buns will definitely be delicious when they're steamed."

Shang Xi smelled the stuffing and said, "It must be delicious. This stuffing smells delicious."

The fifth sister-in-law said, "Shang Xi, look, our buns are relatively big. If we do this, the profit will be small. But your fifth brother said that this will attract repeat customers."

The buns haven't been put into the steamer yet, so Shang Xi can't tell the size. But if Fifth Sister-in-law said they were big, then they must be big. She said, "Fifth Brother is smart and knows how to do business better than us."

The fifth sister-in-law smiled, "Who can do business better than you and Cheng Feng? You can run such a big business by setting up a street stall in the cold winter. Who has a better brain than you? You are rich. People who have seen big money look down on this little money. But your fifth brother is right, we have to make small money, otherwise we two living people will eat and live here for free. You agree, but we don’t agree."

Shang Xi said: "Cheng Feng feels sorry for you two and wants you to take a break. He said that making buns requires getting up early and is more tiring than making noodles."

"Why are you afraid of getting up early? This job is not tiring at all." The fifth sister-in-law glanced at the buns in Shang Xi's hand and said, "Make the filling bigger and give it more folds."

"Oh, is that okay?"

The fifth sister-in-law said, "It's a little bit inferior in quality."

Shang Xi said: "I'll try making a few more."

Everyone in the house was still asleep, but Cheng Feng and the fifth brother had already gone into the kitchen to look for a bucket of water.

The fifth brother took a look at the kitchen in the dim light and whispered: Fengzi, the kitchen of this mansion is too grand. How many cooks must be employed? The number of people eating here must be much older, right? "

Cheng Feng clanged and found a few buckets. "I really don't know how many people are eating, but it's a buffet, one group after another eats, come to eat when hungry, and leave after eating. Only my uncle and I have a fixed meal time."

The fifth brother said, "Rich families are different. This kitchen alone is bigger than the house of a wealthy family. It really opened my eyes."

Cheng Feng said, "There are many good places in this mansion. I wanted to take you and Fifth Sister-in-law around, but you refused."

The fifth brother said, "This place is so big that one can get lost. With your and my status, how can we walk around here randomly? The fifth brother has some sense. I am here to work, not to cause trouble for you."

Cheng Feng walked out carrying a few buckets, "That's not what you said."

There were many water tanks in the yard. The two men drew five buckets of water, then found a small cart in the yard, put the water on it, and pushed it away.
