Dressed as a blacksmith

After applying the medicine, Yu Dameng was going to the shop in the city to do some work, and Qiao Yuan actually wanted to follow him to have a look.But Yuanshen's wedding night was such a commotion, the village probably already had everything to say, and if he went out with the injury on his neck, he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.In this way, he might not be able to go out before he recovered from his injury, Qiao Yuan stood on the porch and looked at the back of Yu Dameng leaving with a little melancholy.

Lin Cuifen was sewing clothes under the corridor of the main room, saw him standing there dryly, and waved to him, "Brother Yuan, come here."

Qiao Yuan approached and asked, "Mom, what's the matter?"

"Originally, you were supposed to go back to the door yesterday, but with your body like that, I told your grandma and your uncle to go back after you get better, and they all agreed."

Speaking of this, Lin Cuifen was still very upset. When she went to talk to Qiao Yuan's grandmother and uncle, Qiao Yuan's uncle immediately agreed, and she was much more polite to her than before, without even asking. Qiao Yuan's situation.

She was thinking about whether to tell Qiao Yuan about this, but Qiao Yuan said indifferently: "Mother, my uncle is afraid that you will come to the door and ask him for a betrothal gift!"

This poor child, Lin Cuifen sighed softly, "Don't worry, as long as you live well with Da Meng, our family will never do anything to let you down."

Qiao Yuan touched his nose guiltily, yesterday he was talking about "reconciliation" with Yu Dameng.So he hurriedly changed the subject and asked, "Mother, what kind of work do you usually do at home?"

Lin Cuifen thought for a while, and explained all the work at home, "Your father does things like carrying water and chopping firewood, brother Liu does what feeds the chickens, and the two brothers feed the pigs, and mother also sews and mends." And cooking. From now on, you will cook with me, and the clothes will only be washed by you and Da Meng.”

Qiao Yuan became interested when he heard about feeding pigs. He has never seen live pigs up close in modern times. "Does our family still have pigs?"

Lin Cuifen was a little happy when she said this, "Yes! The old sow is still pregnant with a piglet! She will give birth in two days!"

Seeing that Qiao Yuan was curious, Brother Liu volunteered to take Qiao Yuan to see the pigs. Only then did Qiao Yuan realize that there was such a large place behind the main house, surrounded by a fence, with a large vegetable field and a pigsty.

The old sow was lazily basking in the sun, her stomach was really big.Just as Qiao Yuan wanted to take a closer look, the twin brothers stopped him, "You are not allowed to look!"

"Fourth brother and fifth brother, why are you doing this!"

"You traitor!"

So, the well-behaved and soft-hearted brother Liu was successfully cried by the two bear brothers. The scene was chaotic for a while, Qiao Yuan's head grew big, so he had to use his trump card, "Brother Yuan will make you some snacks!"

Sure enough, Brother Liu stopped crying immediately, sobbing pitifully, and said, "Brother Yuan, do you know how to make dim sum?"

The kid was so good, Qiao Yuan's tone softened unconsciously, "Of course, my brother will make a lot of delicious snacks." Qiao Yuan said with a glance at the two bear children, and added: "I won't give you four brothers and five Brother eat."

Brother Liu nodded with a smile through his tears.

The twin brothers snorted heavily, expressing that they were not surprised.

After Qiao Yuan took Brother Liu away, Yu Shanwu asked curiously: "Brother, what kind of snacks do you think he will make..."

"Just know how to eat!" Yu Shanwu was slapped severely by Yu Shanwen.

Yu Shanwu said why he is always the one who gets hurt!The only person younger than him in this family is Xiao Liu'er, but he happens to be an older brother who can't be beaten or scolded.

After talking with Brother Liu, Chicken and Duck, Qiao Yuan learned that traditional Chinese osmanthus cakes, mung bean cakes and other pastries that are popular in this time and space are relatively expensive and ordinary people can’t afford them. .That is to say, the Yu family has had a better life recently after paying off their debts, and Liu Ge'er has several elder brothers who love him, so Liu Ge'er can only eat some every now and then.

Qiao Yuan has a rough idea in his mind. He has no capital now. If he wants to do business, he can first develop the public line.

The condition of the kitchen is simple, and the family only has the brown sugar left over from making sugar cakes during the Ghost Festival.

After thinking for a while, Qiao Yuan decided to make the simplest brown sugar hair cake. Beat two eggs in a rice bowl, break them up with chopsticks, and add an appropriate amount of brown sugar.He thought that if the hair cake is fluffy, it should not be able to taste the texture of thick and thin noodles, so he added a little more thick noodles.

The weather is hot and the natural fermentation speed is also fast.In less than half an hour, the batter had risen. Qiao Yuan sprinkled a handful of red dates on top and put the batter on the steamer.

About two quarters of an hour, the brown sugar hair cake slowly puffed up, and the fragrance also slowly came out, the egg fragrance mixed with the jujube fragrance, sweet, it had already floated out of the gate of Yu's house, attracting the surrounding neighbors to be full of children for a while crying.

Brother Liu hungrily circled around the pot, and Lin Cuifen was also attracted, but the twin brothers refused to bow their heads stubbornly.

Qiao Yuan didn't bother to argue with the brat, so he took a sip out of the pot, and the taste of the ancient grain fragrance was not bad.He cut a piece for everyone, but Yu Shanwu took it immediately, but Yu Shanwen refused to take it, so Qiao Yuan had to force it to him, and said: "You two go out and eat in a place with many children. "

The second monk Yu Shanwuzhang was puzzled and looked confused, but Yu Shanwen immediately reacted, "Do you want to sell this?"

Qiao Yuan nodded, sighing that the twins' IQs are not on the same line at all.

As soon as he heard that he could make money, Yu Shanwen became serious, pulled Yu Shanwu and went out.

Before they could bring their little friends over, Grandma Jiang, the neighbor to the east of the Yu family, led her grandson to the door, "The Yu family, what do you make that smells so delicious?"

The Jiang family has always had a good relationship with the Yu family, so Lin Cuifen hurriedly took a piece of cake out of the kitchen, "Ma'am, Brother Yuan is messing around, saying it's called a cake."

Grandma Jiang's grandson, Jiang Yunshan, was still too embarrassed to pick it up, but Lin Cuifen smiled and stuffed it into his hand, "Xiaoshan, why are you being so polite to me."

Jiang Yunshan glanced at Grandma Jiang, and took a bite when she saw her nodding, his face brightened instantly, "It's delicious!"

The children are educated very well, and they insist on giving it to grandma.Grandma Jiang ate a small piece, the fluffy and soft one was just right for her stuttering teeth, and the aroma of the egg was mixed with the aroma of jujube. She immediately liked it and asked, "How do you sell this?"

Lin Cuifen was taken aback, and quickly said, "You can just take it away if you want, there are some at home, and we live so close to the folks in the village, what kind of money do we charge?"

Grandma Jiang only has one son, but she works as a steward in the city, so she is not short of this little money, so she is willing to eat and drink on weekdays, "I want to buy a few more yuan, and give it to the old man and his son and daughter-in-law. I know you have a good heart. But we can't take advantage of you for nothing!"

Lin Cuifen couldn't help but nodded in agreement, but she didn't know what price to sell.

As soon as Qiao Yuan heard that the business was going to be successful, he found a sweat towel in the kitchen and wrapped it around his neck, and went out to say hello to Grandma Jiang, "One penny and one yuan, what do you think?"

The price was calculated by Qiao Yuan just now. He used three eggs and about a catty of flour for this cage, and he cut out 15 yuan.Eggs are laid by the chickens at home, if you buy more at the market price, it costs about seven cents a piece; dates are sun-dried from the jujube trees at home in previous years; , including the amount of brown sugar, the cost of this cage is about six and a half cents.

If it is sold, he will reduce the ratio of eggs and fine noodles to control the cost within six fen.Calculated in this way, such a cage, if sold for one penny and one piece, can earn about nine pennies.

Grandma Jiang agreed immediately. In her opinion, this piece is so big, with eggs, dates, and sweetness. It is quite cost-effective and tastes good. It is much cheaper than the pastry shops in the city. Yes, and immediately took out six coins.

Lin Cuifen was shocked, did she make money?

Qiao Yuan collected the money and went back to the house and took a big porcelain bowl to put hair cakes for Grandma Jiang, "Grandma Jiang, there is nothing to pack at home for the time being, please take the bowl back first." Qiao Yuan said and brought Lin Cuifen just to Jiang The piece that grandma tasted was also put in, "This piece is not considered money, it is my tribute to you."

Grandma Jiang smiled and said to Lin Cuifen, "Brother Yuan, how are you, you are blessed."

Lin Cuifen regained her strength, and helped Grandma Jiang go out, "That is to say, this kid is quick in his hands and feet, and he works hard. I'm [-]% satisfied. It's just rumors outside, alas!"

Grandma Jiang comforted: "Close the door and live your own life, don't worry about what other people say." She also thought to herself, it doesn't look like Brother Yuan hanged himself because he didn't want to marry Da Meng. , I'm afraid there is something wrong here.

Qiao Yuan tossed the six cents he just got, feeling very happy, this is the first pot of gold he earned in another world!

Brother Liu was also very happy, and said softly, "Brother Yuan is really amazing!"

Qiao Yuan pinched his little face, "You have the greatest credit!"

Lin Cuifen came back from Grandma Jiang's house with an empty bowl, and Qiao Yuan was going to hand in the six coins.

However, Lin Cuifen didn't want his money at all, "The money you earn can be saved by yourself. You don't need to pay a job, and your father can still earn money."

Qiao Yuan lamented that Lin Cuifen is really a sensible and good mother-in-law.

In the first pot, there were only three yuan left, enough ingredients, Qiao Yuan planned to save it for the children at home.Immediately began to prepare the second pot. After all, it was the first day. He didn't plan to steam it too much, and he didn't know if it would sell well.

Qiao Yuan was still awake when the twin brothers brought back all the little friends who had asked for money from home.In order to appease the impatient children, Qiao Yuan told them a story: "Once upon a time, there was a monkey that jumped out of a crack in the rock..."

The group of children were gradually fascinated by listening to it, and they asked all kinds of strange questions. Qiao Yuan answered them one by one, very patiently, and Lin Cuifen felt that Qiao Yuan had a good temper.
