A young husband dressed as a violent butcher
Chapter 17 Cake
Xiong Siniang's heart was completely cold, and she said coldly: "It's only a few days ago, mother and father, have you forgotten the contract that I signed with my mother and father? Back then, Lizheng of Sunjia Village was a witness. If you force me to Hand over the recipe, and the Xiong family can sue you for compensation!"
Grandfather scolded loudly: "Miss Erlang, why are you talking to your mother!"
Seeing the attitude of the second elder of the Sun family, the two daughters-in-law of the Sun family gloated in their eyes.This Xiong family is really stupid. After being poor all their lives, they managed to earn some money, yet they dared to distribute it to a married woman.This young lady who married out married into someone else's house, and her parents-in-law were oppressing her above, and she dared to hide her secrets.
Xiong Siniang twitched the corners of her mouth sarcastically, her back straightened like a pine and cypress.
"I am a married woman, but my mother and father are willing to give me this ancestral handicraft because they love me. My mother told me when she taught me pastry that the Xiong family is different from other families. The little lady in the family Even if I get married, I still belong to the Xiong family, so I will be taught the skills of the Xiong family. If I am bullied somewhere in the future, I will go back to my natal family, and my natal family will be the backer, and I can go back at any time. With this skill to make money, my nephew will have to kiss me in the future Coax, eat and drink, this is the escape route left by my mother and father for the married woman." When Xiong Siniang said every word, she looked straight into the eyes of her in-laws, her eyes were full of determination.
Xiong Siniang knew that her aunt and father would be her backer at this time and change her status in the family. If she didn't seize the opportunity to become tough, not only would she not be able to stand up in the future, she might even be abandoned by her natal family as an unsupportable adou. It doesn't matter what happens to her.
Even though Xiong Siniang didn't mention the matter of abandonment, every word and every word had the same meaning. Zhao's mother was so angry that she was always the only one in the husband's family who threatened her husband's family with this marriage.
"Xiong Siniang, what do you mean, threatening my grandson's family!" Mother Xiong slapped the table in anger, and the bowl with missing teeth fell to the ground and shattered.
After Sun Erlang and Xiong Siniang lived these years, she was very clear about the stubbornness in her bones.He likes Xiong Siniang from the bottom of his heart, and the thing he is most grateful to A Niang these years is telling him that Siniang is back.
He held on to Siniang's hand tightly, sweating profusely, "Aniang, don't forget how we agreed to the Sun family at the beginning, and now we regret that we are not afraid that the villagers will laugh at our family. And the sister-in-law of the Xiong family, She stole the pastry recipe back to her natal home. You forgot how the leader of Xiong Zhuangshan smashed it up and lost three liang of silver in the end. Aunt Xiong is still living in her natal home and can't go back to Xiong's house. Brother Xiong killed everyone If you dare, don't provoke him."
Xiong Zhuangshan is definitely the evil spirit of Shura from ten miles and eight villages, so mentioning his name is very useful.Grandmother and grandfather really looked embarrassed.
But Xiong Siniang said: "My mother and father, what I said is not a threat but a fact. You can think about it for yourself. My mother and father are willing to give me four prescriptions handed down from my ancestors at once. Then I will go back to my mother's house and live there. Can't live?"
The ancestral prescriptions are all willing to give, why can't they live, the grandparents' faces are ashen, but they dare not reprimand the second daughter-in-law.If it got agitated and the second daughter-in-law returned to her mother's house in a fit of rage, the Xiong's family would not let her go and make a fuss, even if they refused to pay compensation and took the prescription back, what could his family do?That's an income of hundreds of Wen a day, once you taste the sweetness, how can you be willing to let go.
Besides, the Xiong family is easy to mess with, but Xiong Zhuangshan is not easy to mess with.
Grandmother and grandfather can only endure this kind of life if they still want to live at home and collect money.
Grandfather said with a sullen face, "Okay, let's forget about this matter, we all have dinner, what's the trouble in the morning."
Xiong Siniang didn't move, "This matter can't be finished. My sister-in-law and third sister-in-law don't have a dowry at home, so they want to take it from me. It can't be done!" Today, Xiong Siniang must ask the Sun family to show an attitude and pinch the signs from the root.
Sun's mother stared at Xiong Siniang bitterly. This was not asking the two daughters-in-law of the Sun family to apologize, it was clearly asking her to apologize.But don't apologize, judging by the attitude of the second daughter-in-law, the matter will inevitably cause trouble to the Xiong family. With the current strength of the Xiong family, it will definitely not end.
Grandmother suppressed her anger, gritted her teeth, and vented her evil fire on the other two daughters-in-law, "You two uneducated bastards, apologize to Mrs. Erlang!"
"Auntie..." The sister-in-law never expected that the most favored one in the family would one day shamelessly apologize to Miss Xiong Si who had been bullied all the time.It is obvious that Mrs. Xiong Si's natal family is the poorest, and she was married by Gao Pan, but she is not.Weng Po was determined, and the sister-in-law asked for help and looked around, but was helpless, so she could only suppress her shame and apologize to Xiong Siniang.Afterwards, the third brother's wife also apologized in a proper manner, and that's all.
Xiong Siniang has been wronged all these years and Zhao Erlang knows it, and he feels even more distressed. He used to be unable to get ahead, but now that he has the opportunity, he said, "Grandma, father, all the cakes at home are made by Siniang, and they make tens of catties a day. Hurry up, she is tired enough for a little lady, I don't think she should do the work outside the house, so as not to exhaust her body."
"How can I do that? These jobs are always divided equally." Sister-in-law Sun said.
"If sister-in-law runs a business at home and earns hundreds of Wen a day, then sister-in-law doesn't have to do this job."
Grandmother was so angry that she got up and went back to the house, she didn't want to see Xiong Siniang at a glance, "I don't need to worry about the housewife Erlang from now on, you guys divide the work, whoever is dissatisfied with this matter will also give me a few hundred cash every day, and there is no need to worry about it." You do it. You ladies can take it out, and I, an old woman, will take care of all the work in the house from now on."
The Sun family was not peaceful, while the Xiong family was beaming. Although the walnut cakes were more expensive than the previous four pastries, the profits were even greater.The rich people in the town prefer walnut crisps.
"Fifth lady, give me three catties of big peach cakes and two catties of small peach cakes."
The fifth lady collected the copper coins and helped her dress up, but the man complained in a half-true way: "Your family gave all the pastry-making skills to your fourth sister who married out. It is very inconvenient for us to go to Sunjia Village to buy the goods."
Wu Niangzi paused for a while when she was packing the food box, and then she said nonchalantly, "My mother and father love fourth sister, and want to make it easier for sister's family."
The man deliberately said: "Your family really loves the little lady at home, presumably Aunt Xiong and Aunt Xiong have left better craftsmanship for you, an unmarried little lady?" This is a real test.If the Xiong family really intends to share their craftsmanship with Mrs. Xiong Wu, it will be the same skill as Mrs. Xiong, and the profits will be frighteningly high. Although Mrs. Xiong is getting older, she will become very popular in the village.
Mrs. Xiong Wu tightened her fingers on the food box, her mother and father never told her about it.
"Wu Niang, why are you staring at that, come quickly and help me pack the pastry."
"Oh, here we come, Ma'am."
Mother Xiong heard the conversation between the two and knew that the man was deliberately inquiring. Fifth Niangzi was already eighteen. At such an age, Mother Xiong had to plan for her. If she could marry a good family, Wu Niang would also enjoy happiness.Anyway, the pastry skills were also given to the fourth lady, and if there was another fifth lady, Erlang Fulang would not disagree, and if I saw him someday, I would talk to him.
Mother Xiong intentionally loudly let the villagers hear clearly, "Our Xiong family never treats young ladies who are married to outsiders harshly. If Fourth Lady has some, then Fifth Lady will naturally have them too. In the future, Fifth Lady will also be able to teach her cake-making skills. Mother-in-law, the conditions are the same as those of the Sun family."
Many people came to Xiong’s house to buy goods in the morning, and when they looked at Xiong Wuniang, their eyes immediately changed. Some even a few older ones directly asked Mrs. Xiong about the conditions for finding someone. Many people in Xinghua Village and other villages They all asked people to come to ask about Wuniang's marriage.Wu Niang has changed from a little girl who no one cares about to a hot one.
"Brother, what good thing did you get out this time? It smells so good." Xiong Zhu was told by the villagers early in the morning that his second brother had something new for him to sell.With the envious look in the visitor's eyes, he wished he could poke a few holes in Xiong Zhu's body. How could he be so lucky to have that brother-in-law who messed with new food every day.
Xiong Zhu came to Xiong Zhuangshan's house under the envious eyes of everyone, and as soon as he entered the house, he smelled a sweet smell that he had never smelled before, like milk but not milk, sweet and attractive.
"Brother, what good thing are you doing?"
Tang Shou waved to Xiong Zhuangshan, and Xiong Zhuangshan took out something, which was covered with something white, with a few white petals dotted in the middle, not much bigger than the mouth of the bowl, but the fragrance filled the whole room.Xiong Zhuangshan didn't care whether it was light or heavy, he threw the things heavily on the table.
The distressed Tang Shou shouted: "You start lightly, you have made this one in total, and you are falling apart."
"Brother, I'm afraid this thing is not cheap!" His brother-in-law's distressed face changed.
"Of course it's not cheap. This food is called a cake. It's 180 Wen for such a big one, and you need to add another [-] Wen for an inch bigger, and so on."
Cake is not a Western thing. Our country has it as early as the Song Dynasty.According to records, it was invented by a court lady who fermented milk and finally made cream.The ancients were much smarter than the people of later generations imagined.
"What, 180 Wen each, bro, this is too...too expensive!"
"It's more expensive, it's only when the nobles of the noble family pay for it that they feel that their identity is not humiliated. They like luxury goods, so let's make them luxury goods."
Xiong Zhu thought of something, and said slowly: "That's right. A few days ago, I went to Yulin Town to sell walnut cakes. When I sold them to the Wang's house, his maidservant didn't notice her face. Why are you talking about such cheap cakes?" I can eat it, but it’s okay if I eat it badly! Huh, don’t you think my things are cheap? This time, there are expensive ones. The price is 180 renminbi for the size of a palm. Let’s see if he can afford it. Isn’t it a branch of the Tokyo Wang family? He really took himself seriously."
Tang Shou said with a smile: "You can take it with you, and ask her if she has seen it before, and she said that it is expensive, and it is not easy to make, and there is no such thing in the palace, and only the royal family could eat it in the previous dynasty. Cake This kind of food is worth an extra inch, and there is an extra [-] Wen, and there are two floors, which are more expensive, costing a few taels of silver."
"How many taels?" Xiong Zhu swallowed, "It's too expensive!"
"Don't worry, someone will buy it, the ingredients themselves are just expensive."
Xiong Zhu was still a little timid, but thinking of the contemptuous face of that maid, he wished he could come to the palace to show off to her immediately.
"What, such a small price of 180 Wen, why are you blackmailing people?" Sure enough, the maid screamed in surprise when she heard the price.
Xiong Zhu squinted at her, more arrogant than the maidservant in the palace looked down on him at that time.
"If you can't afford it, just say you can't afford it. Why are you making such a fuss? A few days ago, you said that a few cakes are not good enough for your little lady, but now you can't even afford a mere cake of [-] yuan. big talk."
The maid refused to accept, and said angrily: "Who is talking big, I am... I think your cakes are not worth it."
Grandfather scolded loudly: "Miss Erlang, why are you talking to your mother!"
Seeing the attitude of the second elder of the Sun family, the two daughters-in-law of the Sun family gloated in their eyes.This Xiong family is really stupid. After being poor all their lives, they managed to earn some money, yet they dared to distribute it to a married woman.This young lady who married out married into someone else's house, and her parents-in-law were oppressing her above, and she dared to hide her secrets.

With this skill to make money, my nephew will have to kiss me in the future Coax, eat and drink, this is the escape route left by my mother and father for the married woman." When Xiong Siniang said every word, she looked straight into the eyes of her in-laws, her eyes were full of determination.
