"Okay, slow down on the road, see you Aunt Tao."

After Yan Xia saw Aunt Tao off, she went to the backyard to have lunch with the children.

The steamed buns are served with cold water and a sweet peach for each person.

Delicious.

If the peaches could be chilled in well water, they would taste better.

Unfortunately, there is no well in the shop. If you need water, you can only fetch water from the river not far away. People in this street use that water.

"Mom, why did you buy so many peaches?"

Lamei asked her curiously.

"Let's make peach cakes. Mom wants to add a flavor to the peach cakes, and we will sell them in the afternoon."

After saying that, Yan Xia took out a few peaches, removed the skin and core, divided the pulp into two parts, mashed one part into a puree, and cut the other part into cubes.

Add the peach puree to the peach cake and mix together.

Dice peach takes the place of sesame seeds and is placed in the middle of the peach cake for decoration.

Peaches themselves are sweet, so the amount of sugar should be reduced by another quarter.

The first time I tried baking it was a success.

When it was brought out, the entire backyard was filled with the aroma of peach crisps and peaches.

Intoxicating.

"Come, let's try a piece each."

Yan Xia also took a piece and took a small bite.

The peach cake is still hot. When you take a bite, it is crispy and mixed with peach bits. The texture is amazing.

"Wow, it's delicious. Mom, you are so smart. How did you come up with the idea of ​​putting peaches in it? It's both beautiful and delicious."

Lamei praised in surprise.

With the addition of peaches, the color of the peach cake changes from light brown to light pink.

It does look much better.

Especially girlish.

In the afternoon, the new flavor of peach cake was vigorously grabbed by customers.

Yan Xia generously cut ten pieces of peach cake for people to try, and the whole street was shocked.

A grand event that had not been seen for seven or eight days unfolded again.

The queue reached the end of the bridge.

After all, everyone is tired of eating the original flavor.

Thirty percent of the guests this time were young women.

However, Yan Xia did not lower the price, but sold it at the original price.

Her store is already popular in the town, so there is no need to attract traffic at low prices.

"Shopkeeper, bring me two bags of new flavored peach cakes. I'll give them to you."

"I want four bags, yo, there are only three bags left, it's okay, I can wait later -"

"Shopkeeper, it's so hot. When will it be my turn?"

"Oh, why are there only the original flavor left? The shopkeeper, hurry up and grill the peach flavor. My daughter is clamoring for it."

“…”

Because there is no need to go back to the village.

Yan Xia sold until the sun went down before closing the shop.

After casually eating some porridge cooked by my daughter-in-law, the four of us counted money in the yard.

"Mom, the total is 50 taels including what I have in my hand."

It happens to be an integer.

Today’s sales are almost three times what they were yesterday.

Yan Xia chuckled.

Eight white teeth were exposed at once.

The three girls also looked happy.

Fifty taels.

Before this, their family could not make any money for half their life.

And their mothers earned it in one day.

"Mom~ you are so amazing——"

Lamei hugged Yan Xia's waist and refused to let go.

The admiration in his eyes almost welled up.

"Come on, I'll give you 50 cents each. At noon tomorrow, you go shopping and buy whatever you like. There are few people at noon now. We will have a rest at noon. Mom just closed the shop and took a nap."

Yan Xia took out 150 yuan.

Give 50 Wen each to my daughter and daughter-in-law.

Although this amount of copper coins is not even enough in fifty liang.

It was enough to make the three of them smile from ear to ear.

"Thank you, mother~"

"Mom, you are so kind~"

"..."

At night, the four of them squeezed into the bed and slept beautifully.

The temperature at night is not as high as during the day. A thin quilt is just right for sleeping at night, but there are mosquitoes.

Fortunately, Yan Xia burned mosquito repellent in the backyard in advance.

This is a kind of weed that grows by the river. It looks like rice dumpling leaves. When picked and dried, the smell of burning smoke can soften the bodies of mosquitoes and prevent them from biting people all night long.

Even the buzzing sound made by mosquitoes is much smaller.

Baihua Village at this time.

The two brothers Jin Fu and Jin Lu had just fallen asleep.

The courtyard wall has been knocked down and the area has been re-planned today.

Many people in the village came to watch the fun and secretly said that their family had a lot of money, which must have been earned by selling flower cakes.

This also resulted in twice as many girls pestering Jin Lu.

There were even a few unfamiliar faces, probably someone's niece or granddaughter.

Jin Lumen was so afraid to go out that he left all the work in the fields to his elder brother, while he himself went to the other side of the short mountain to cut firewood, collect dead branches, and burn plant ashes.

Zhao Dali goes to town every day to work as a casual worker.

He can bring the alkaline water to his mother.

Day three.

The front and rear walls of the home have been built, and all that remains is to build two side rooms and dig a well.

Jin Lu picked up the machete and backpack and went up the mountain.

He will pick up dead branches today, and he cut enough firewood yesterday.

Unexpectedly, I met He Daniu and He Erniu on the way.

"Brother Jinlu, why are you always avoiding us? Are you going to chop wood? I'll help you~"

He Erniu is two months younger than Jin Lu.

She acted coquettishly towards Jin Lu with a rough cannon sound.

Jin Lu was so disgusting that he almost vomited his overnight meal.

Goosebumps spread all over my body.

"Jin Lu, I'm here to help you too. Erniu has less work to do at home. Unlike me, she has a lot of strength. Come on, I'll help you chop wood."

He Da Niu gouged out her sister.

I want to snatch the machete from Jin Lu's hand.

As a result, Jin Lu took several steps back and dodged away.

This speed rivals that of a leopard.

"I'm not interested in you guys. Stop pestering me. And you, He Erniu, your rough voice is still ugly no matter how hard you pinch it. Why did I offend you? You insist on disgusting me. I didn't want to talk to you before. What an ugly thing to say. After all, you are a girl. I ask you to go get a basin of water and take a picture, okay? Look at yourselves, and then look at me. Do they match? I know you are here for the five taels of silver as a gift from your mother. , Don’t worry, mother said, all the family money has been used to renovate the house, and there is no money for a bride price. If you marry me, you will get nothing. Are you willing?"

Jin Lu made an excuse at random.

Sure enough, the faces of the two sisters fell instantly.

"I really think you are the reincarnation of Pan An. You are as thin as a pheasant. If mother hadn't asked us to come, do you think we would be willing? Erniu, let's go home. If you want to marry a wife without a bride price, you can just marry an egg -"

He Da Niu glared at Jin Lu with disdain.

He took his sister and left.

Not stopping for a moment.

Jin Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

If he had known it would be so easy to solve, he would have come up with this excuse two days ago.

Along the way, I met several more girls.

Using the same words made them all angry.

Without exception.

When they heard that there was no gift, everyone's expressions suddenly changed.

Too damn realistic.

Jin Lu looked at the stream suspiciously.

Is he that ugly?

In fact, it is not the case. Not only is Jin Lu not ugly, he can even debut as a star in modern times. But in ancient times, appearance was not important. As long as a man can afford the bride price, has good family conditions, and is strong, there will be a lot of women queuing up to get it. marry.
