Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

Changsheng raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw several half-grown girls walking over, hurriedly stood up, and handed out the dustpan with chestnut cakes.

"The little girls like it if they try it. If it doesn't taste good, we don't want to pay." Remembering what Liu Yu had just said, Changsheng finished speaking with a stumbling expression.

The little girls had one piece for you and one piece for me. Each of them picked a piece and took it in his hand. The oldest girl looked at the newly opened stall for a while, and saw that Liu Yu and Chang Sheng were neatly dressed, with their fingers and hair clean, so she felt confident about entering.

"The taste is pretty good. It's creamier and sweeter than what the pastry shops in our town make, but it's not overly sweet either."

"Brother, please give each of us twelve yuan."

Changsheng couldn't help but be ecstatic when he heard this. He carefully counted the neatly dressed girls in front of him, and there were six in total.

"I'm afraid you may have to wait a while. Our clay oven is not big, and we can only cook eight kangs in one pot. The food in our basket is cold. The filling will be sweet and soft, and the skin will be crispier if it is warm."

Changsheng blushed with excitement and explained to the little girls in front of him.

Although Liu Yujian Changsheng was still reserved at the moment, his brows and eyes were full of energy, and his whole person was full of vitality. Although his words were a little more sincere, his serious look on his face was particularly pleasing to the eye.

Feeling more at ease, I let him greet these little guests.

"We're not in a hurry, there's nothing going on, so just wait here."

Perhaps because of the support of a few young girls, the next business will be much easier. Most of the people who come to Laekou for the market are nearby villagers. Seeing that there is an unfamiliar shop in the town, most of them will take a look at it out of curiosity. What is the stall owner selling?

I saw people gathering in front of the shop. I stopped and asked a few questions. I heard that they were selling chestnut cakes and you could try them for free. If you don’t like them, you don’t have to pay.

A few people, with the mentality of not taking advantage of the bastard, would pick up a piece and taste it, but most people would leave after tasting it.

More people tried it out of curiosity, while some thin-skinned people were embarrassed to eat for free. After asking about the price, they thought it was not expensive so they charged three to five yuan.

Others simply like the taste and buy a few pieces to take back to their families, wives and children to try.

Liu Yu continued to shout while eating shortbread.

Changsheng sat on a long bench and put the freshly baked shortbread into oil paper bags one by one according to the quantity the guests wanted while it was still hot.

The customer who came to buy shortbread saw that Chang Sheng had a pair of crutches at his hand, so he knew that his legs and feet were not very good, so he felt sorry for him and did not need him to do anything. He took the oil paper bag and loaded it up, and then let Chang Sheng take a look at it. At one glance, he had no intention of taking more.

The guests came together in small groups, and the two of them were so busy that sometimes there were only two or three in a quarter of an hour. They continued to sell slowly and intermittently, adding up to the nearly four hundred chestnuts they had brought at noon. The shortbread is almost sold.

There were about fourteen or five left in the bamboo basket. After the Liuyu Kang was finished, he packed them in oil paper bags.

He handed two oil paper bags containing three chestnut shortcakes to Huang Bo'an, the stall owner on the left and the cloth boss on the other side.

Liu Yu put the remaining package of chestnut cakes into the bamboo basket she brought.

Huang Bo'an couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it, then scooped up two bowls of floating tea, peeled off a rice dumpling at the bottom of each bowl, brought it over and put it on the simple stall, and invited Liu Yu and Liu Yu to drink tea to moisten their mouths.

The unique sweetness of rice wine fills your mouth, the hot float tea is just right to drink, and the rice dumplings are sticky and sweet when eaten, as if they still have the taste of red dates.

The cloth seller next door also gave Liu and Yu a few needles as a return gift.

"My little brother will come back tomorrow."

Seeing Liu Yu packing her things, Huang Boan asked.

"We should come later. There won't be a meeting here tomorrow!"

"We have several kilns nearby that will produce burnt green bricks tomorrow, and there are two porcelain kilns. You can get good stuff at a low price. You two brothers don't want to come over tomorrow to join in the fun."

Huang Bo'an saw that the two of them didn't know anything about the kiln entrance, so he explained a few words.

Originally, the reason why Yaokou was established as a town was partly because there was a lot of traffic here, and nearby villagers often set up stalls and trade here, and over time it became a grass market.

The bigger reason is that there are several brick kilns and porcelain kilns nearby. People from all over the country and even further places, as long as they build brick houses, mostly come to the kiln entrance to buy bricks and pull bricks. In order to facilitate these people Trading, they set up a market town here in Xinlin County a few years ago.

When brick kilns and porcelain kilns accumulate a lot of defective products, they will clear out a batch from time to time. Some people can tell when the goods are cleared by just asking.

Those in need would bring money, pull carts, and wait early, hoping to find similar things on the market at the lowest price.

To find out what kind of defective products were cleaned in the past, Liu Yu heard from Huang Bo'an that brick kilns often cleaned burnt green bricks. Porcelain kilns mostly cleaned porcelain that was deformed after being fired, or had uneven colors, dirty spots, blisters, and uneven surfaces. ,pottery.

"If you want to buy some, you have to come early. The kilns and porcelain factories will sort out the defective products around the clock. If you come late, others will pick out the leftovers."

"Thank you, Uncle Huang, for letting us know. We brothers have taken note of it." Liu Yu brought her and Changsheng's tea bowls back to the table of the tea stall and thanked Huang Bo'an and his wife again.

The couple were also honest people, and they hurriedly waved their hands to signal Liu Yu that you were welcome.

After loading everything into the cart, Liu Yu asked Changsheng to wait for him at the stall. He put on the bag of chestnut cakes and walked towards the mud house where the middle-aged man was.

When she walked to the mud house and found that the man who set up the stall for them was still there, Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young man, you have something to do with me." The middle-aged man was lying in front of the table, eating a bowl of vegetarian noodles.

"Uncle, our brothers will come back tomorrow. Please leave us the stall we are using today."

Although this stall is located at the back and is not very good, the tenants on both sides are good, they are not competitive people, and they are also kind.

"It's easy to say. My surname is Xie, and my name is Xie Rubao. If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Xie." Xie Rubao said happily, patting Liu Yu on the shoulder.

With such a cute name and such a fierce look, Liu Yu was silent for a moment and called out obediently: "Uncle Xie."

After sincerely thanking Xie Rubao, Liu Yu took out the oil paper bag on his body and put it on the table: "Some of the food made at home is not worth much. Please, Uncle Xie, don't be disgusted by the crudeness and try our home's craftsmanship."

Xie Rubao didn't refuse. He had noticed what Liu Yu was selling early in the morning and knew the price. It was just a matter of a few pennies. He didn't like it when he pushed and pushed his mother-in-law like a sissy.

Receive the pastries and ask Liu Yu to just come find him when he comes. If he is not here, just put them on the table first, and then settle the rent for the day.
