"Er Niu has a day off today?" Wang Zhanghua and the others sat under the eaves while Su's mother made them a pot of tea.

"Yes, it's been ten years, and I don't know when school will be over. I happen to be short of a lot of things at home, so Xiaoqing thought of buying them all at once and picking up the two cows at the same time."

"Go and eat quickly, don't worry about us." Seeing everyone from the old Su family coming out to talk, the third uncle waved his hand.

Looking at the brand new pestle and mortar over there, the two uncles walked over and took a look.

Then they saw another one who was just starting to chisel next to them. They turned around and said, "Brother, why are you chiseling so many pestles and mortars? Does anyone want it?"

"No, it's for my own use. These two are not enough. I think I need to dig a few more." Mr. Su's voice came from the house.

"Is it urgent?"

"Well, I need it urgently these two days. Have you finished your work at home? When you are done, come over and help me chisel for two days." The old man's voice was calm.

"Okay, I'll come back soon after delivering the tofu. There's not much work to do at home anyway, so why do we need people? We're all idle at home." The two uncles poured a cup of tea and agreed casually.

"Yes, yes, yes, if A Yuan and the others are free, please come over and help me chop the sweet potatoes. This is a lot of work, so busy that your buttocks won't even touch the floor." Mr. Su came out after finishing the meal in a few mouthfuls.

"Okay, if you need help, just give me a shout."

After dinner, the fourth uncle and the others began to pack tofu, Su Ziling packed corn cakes and tea, and Liu Guilan and his wife went with Su Zizhong and others to deliver tofu to the mountain col.

When they arrived at the county town, Wang Zhanghua and the others were selling tofu, and Su Ziling was selling hair cakes nearby. She took out a piece, cut it into the size of red dates, and gave them a free trial.

After not seeing Su Ziling for half a month, they were quite surprised to see her here, "Miss Xiaoqing, I've never seen you selling tofu." Looking at her basket on her back, the man asked, "You What new food is this selling?”

Su Ziling smiled and said, "I'm busy at home, so I asked my fourth uncle and the others to come over and sell them. Today I brought some corn cakes with maltose and wild dates in them."

As she said that, she brought the cut ones over and said, "Come on, let's all try it, but it's free."

Many people who had bought tofu came over to chat with her. They looked at the corn cake she brought out and even tasted it.

Just looking at the appearance, it is absolutely beautiful. The golden corn cake has a smooth surface and is decorated with red pulp. The inside is honeycomb-shaped. From time to time, you can also see the red jujube flesh.

"I'll give it a try. The pastries made by Miss Xiaoqing will definitely taste good." Whether it was a compliment or a sincere one, many people followed and tasted it.

"It is soft, sweet but not greasy, with the aroma of corn and a hint of jujube. When you eat the pulp, it tastes sour and sweet." The more people eat, the brighter their eyes become.

"Miss Xiaoqing, how did you buy this pastry?"

Su Ziling smiled and opened the basket, revealing the cut corn cake inside, "Five cents a piece."

At five cents, some people hesitated. To be honest, five cents was a bit expensive, but after looking at the size and taste, many people still bought it.

"Pack two pieces for me. This pastry is even more delicious than the one from the pastry shop. It's worth dozens of dollars a pound over there, and it's so big."

"Yes, this thing feels quite filling. Miss Xiaoqing, give me two pieces too."

"Give me a piece and give it to the child so that he won't have to stare at the pastry shop every day. That thing is very expensive."

"Yes, yes. Not only is it expensive, but it doesn't taste as soft as this. My old lady has bad teeth and can't eat anything too sweet. I think this is just right. Miss Xiaoqing, give me five yuan."

Five dollars?

Su Ziling looked at the woman, "Mom, the weather is hot and the pastries can't be stored. You can buy two less. If it's absolutely delicious, I'll buy it next time."

"Not much, not much," the aunt waved her hand, "There are a lot of people in the family. If we buy less, I'm afraid everyone won't be able to taste it."

After hearing what she said, Su Ziling packed five pieces for her and wrapped them in paper.

Even though it was her first time to sell, Su Ziling was very fast and sold out in a short time. She still had a few pieces left in her basket, planning to take them to the school for the three wives and the cooking lady.

Su Ziling put away the basket. The fourth uncle and the others had not sold out yet, and there were still a few barrels left.

"Fourth uncle, you are selling here. I'm going to see if Er Niu has gone to school. You will be sold out in a while. If we haven't come out yet, then you can wait for us at the city gate."

"Hey, okay, I got it, go ahead!"

The two of them were too busy to look at her. They were mixing tofu and collecting money, and replied to her by the way.

Su Ziling went to the school first with a backpack on her back. She didn't know when Su Zimu would come to school, and she was afraid that she would miss it if she was two late.

When she arrived at the school, the students were still in class. She stood in the courtyard and waited for a while, and then Aunt Chen came out.

"Huh? Xiaoqing is here?"

Su Ziling stood up and said, "Aunt Chen, I'm here to pick up my brother. When will they get off school?"

Aunt Chen came over and said, "There's still a while, it's not the end of the day (15:00)."

Su Ziling nodded and took out the cake, "This is some steamed cake I made for the ladies and aunt to try together."

"Oh, it's so beautifully made, but how can I eat your food every time? You brought this here to sell it, right?"

Seeing Su Ziling nod, Aunt Chen patted her hand and said, "It's not easy for you either. Your brother's education is relatively expensive. I'm afraid it will cost more in the future. Just keep it and sell it. You don't have to take it." coming."

Su Ziling smiled and shook her head, "Mom, I know you are doing this for my own good, but this pastry is not valuable. I really made it myself, so just accept it. From now on, I have to ask you to help me and keep an eye on it." Where is my brother?"

Really unable to shirk it, Aunt Chen accepted it, "Zimu, this kid is very smart. The old man in my family often praises him. Don't look at him keeping a straight face. In private, he always says that he wants to Teach your child well and keep an eye on him, don't let him go astray and waste this great talent."
