Go back to ancient times and marry a widow

The sixth day of the twelfth lunar month is auspicious, advisable: open business, collect money, take a bath.

Before dawn in the morning, Qi Wensheng woke up, while Qiuxi in his arms was still asleep.Thinking of what was written in the almanac before, Qi Wensheng said in his heart that he happened to do all these three things today, especially the bathing for two people.

Just about to get up lightly, Qi Wensheng looked at Qiuxi and sat up first supporting his chest.

"Are you going to get up?"

Listening to Qiuxi's words, he didn't feel confused at all. Qi Wensheng guessed that he had woken up early, "Well, I'll get up and light the stove first, and you can sleep for a while."

"Don't go to sleep, let me help you. You have to do a lot of things in the morning." Qiu Xi went down to the ground and brought his and Qi Wensheng's clothes as he spoke. Qi Xizhai is about to open today, and he was nervous all night None of them slept much.

The two of them got dressed, washed their faces and rinsed their mouths. For the convenience of this morning, they slept in the shop last night.

Qi Wensheng first lit the fire in the clay oven he had built. He made this clay oven quite successfully. The bottom is the stove, the middle is the oven, and there is a small chimney on the top.

Qiuxi beat eggs for Qi Wensheng in the kitchen, and separated the egg white and egg yolk.He is doing this job very smoothly now. Dozens of eggs have not been broken in a large basin, and then he uses a small tool he made to fish out the yolks.

Speaking of this small tool, Qi Wensheng also praised him for his ingenuity. Before he saw Qi Wensheng scoop out egg yolks with his hands in a big basin, and his fingers turned red when it was cold.

Then Qiuxi thought of making another tool for Qi Wensheng. He cut a small spoon out of bamboo, and there was a circle attached to the outside of the spoon. He asked Qi Wensheng to try it. Qi Wensheng said it was very useful, better than the egg yolk he had used before. Separators are fine.

It made Qiuxi confused, what egg yolk separator?Where did Qi Wensheng use it before?

But later, before Qiuxi could ask his doubts, Qi Wensheng put his arms around him and kissed him.It wasn't until Qiuxi's body softened that Qi Wensheng let him go.

Of course, Qiu Xi forgot to ask anything at that time.

This morning, Qi Wensheng planned to make three kinds of pastries first, one is the steamed milk cake that he has been selling since the beginning, one is dorayaki, and the other is pumpkin bread.

Qi Wensheng felt that the last two names were too modern and lacked the characteristics of his shop, so Qi Wensheng changed the name of Tongluoyaki to Bean Paste Xiaoqiu Bing. The name of the autumn bag.

When he mentioned these two names to Qiuxi a few days ago, it made Qiuxi beautiful from the bottom of his heart all the way to his face.Seeing Qiuxi's joy, Qi Wensheng knew that his way of expressing love was very successful, and he had to continue in the future.

Qiuqiu buns are the most time-consuming and labor-intensive to make, so Qi Wensheng started with it.

Qiuxi and Qi Wensheng peeled a dozen small pumpkins, cut them into thin slices and steamed them.After cooling down, it was pressed into a puree. Qi Wensheng mixed pumpkin puree with flour with sugar, and then kneaded it with milk to form a dough.

If you want the baked Qiuqiu Bao to have a cloud-like soft taste, the kneading step is the most critical step. The dough must be kneaded to the extent that a smooth film can be pulled out.At this moment, no machine could be used, so Qi Wensheng threw off his arms and began to compete with the big dough on the chopping board.

Qiuxi took advantage of this time to cook some simple breakfast for the two of them.

In this way, Qi Wensheng and Qiuxi got up and started working before dawn. When the sky was bright, Qi Wensheng made a pot of steamed milk cakes, fifty small red bean paste cakes, and Qiuqiu buns from the oven. To bring out the second plate.

At this time, Er Niu and Chen Qi also came. They rode Qi Wensheng's little donkey. One basket contained ten catties of eggs, and the other basket contained twenty sweet cucumbers that Er Niu bought at Baochang's house in the morning.

"Oh, I smelled this scent at the street corner, and someone next to me was still sniffing, looking for where it came from." As soon as Er Niu entered the backyard, he ran to the kitchen first. It is not an exaggeration to say that the freshly baked Qiuqiu buns have a strong aroma and can float far away from the yard.

Qiuxi was delighted to hear that. Didn't this mean that Qi Wensheng's craftsmanship is good? He handed a plate to Erniu, which contained two autumn and autumn buns that were golden in color and twisted like braided flowers, "You and Chen Qi have a try. Look, it just came out of the oven this morning."

Er Niu's face was full of joy, he picked up one and stuffed it into his mouth first, then handed the other to Chen Qi.

"Mmm... delicious, delicious." Er Niu spoke with a bulging mouth.

Chen Qi was not as ugly as Er Niu eating. He turned sideways and took two bites when he saw Er Niu sticking to him, his eyes fixed on the Qiuqiu bag in his hand.

"Eat so slowly, can't you eat it? How about I help you..." Er Niu stuffed more than half of the Qiuqiu bun into his mouth while watching Chen Qi.

Seeing that Chen Qi's face was swollen like a toad, Er Niu cursed angrily in his heart: What the hell are you doing?

Every now and then, Qiu Xi and Chen Qi placed cakes on the wooden shelf one after another, seeing Er Niu walking back and forth nervously on the ground, even the two of them became a little nervous.

None of the three real peasants had experienced this kind of battle. They never thought about it in the past. Opening a shop in the town is not a dream.

At [-]:[-] a.m., all three types of cakes were placed. Except for fifty Qiuqiu buns, the other two types were served with a hundred pieces. Qi Wensheng was preparing to steam another pot of steamed milk cakes in the back.

Qiuxi and Chen Qi stood at the big counter, one to see if the oil paper was enough, and the other to see if the pastry was ready. At this time, both of them couldn't help feeling a little excited, they were going to open the door to do business!

Er Niu finished hanging two strings of firecrackers at the door, and took out a board written by Qiuxi, which read: New store opens, today buy one get one free of steamed milk cake.

Er Niu also asked Qi Wensheng if he would lose money?That steamed cake is worth three pennies.

Qi Wensheng said no, because he used to sell steamed milk cakes in the street market, and he was also a little famous, but now he is attracting people with steamed milk cakes.

At three o'clock in the morning, this is the auspicious time calculated by Er Niu and his third uncle's brother-in-law.

Qi Wensheng came out and lit a firecracker with the two cows, and then he stood at the gate, soliciting business with great energy, in his own words, his face is a living sign.

The fact is just like what Qi Wensheng said, the regular customers in the past rushed in when they saw him, and some even asked why it took so long to not see Qi Wensheng at the stall.

I also heard that the steamed cakes they bought before were buy one and get one free, and now they are all crowded on the counter, afraid that they will not be able to keep up with this bargain if they wait a little longer.

Seeing this, Qiuxi and Chen Qi became even more excited, and the two began to work non-stop.

Qi Wensheng's shop opened in a busy market, and it didn't take long for him to attract people to the shop.He was smiling all over his face, looking back at Qiuxi who was busy collecting money at the counter, there was also a slight smile on his sweaty face.

Qiuxi seemed to have a feeling, and turned his head to look outside the door. When he met Qi Wensheng's eyes, he showed a big smile, and wanted to say that all this is really good.

Qi Wensheng blinked at Qiu Xidan, thinking that he is full of love for life now, all because of this person in his eyes.

Before noon, the bamboo baskets for pastries on the wooden shelf were empty, and Er Niu told customers who were about to enter the house again to come back in the afternoon, and they were all sold out at this moment.

The three words "sold out" entered the ears of Qiuxi and Chen Qi. They were still in a dazed state, and even Er Niu couldn't recover after he finished speaking.

Qi Wensheng came over from the backyard, seeing the three of them standing there in a daze, he couldn't help but asked with a smile, "What's the matter? You are here."

Er Niu was the first to bluff, "Qi Wensheng, we are getting rich!" He pointed to the money box that Qiuxi was holding, and the copper coins and broken silver in it stood out.

Qi Wensheng wondered what kind of fortune this was, but in order not to disappoint the three of them, he still nodded: "Well, that's it." Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, looking at the excited expressions of the three of them, he almost said a word. The word "yeah" is gone.

At noon, Boss Qi was the host, and took his wife and two employees to the restaurant for a meal. Qiu Xi and Chen Qi were full, and only Er Niu was so full that he could hardly walk when he came back. .

In the afternoon, several people became more motivated. Er Niu was responsible for soliciting business and seeing off customers, Qiu Xi and Chen Qi were also responsible for collecting money at the counter to sell pastries, and sometimes Qiu Xi had to go to the back to help Qi Wensheng.

When it was time to go home in the evening, Qi Wensheng was fine, but Qiuxi and the three of them were all excited.

"Qiuxi, do you see a fat aunt? I bought twenty steamed cakes from me at once."

"Well, she later came to my place to buy six Qiuqiu bags." Qiuxi wanted to laugh when he said "Qiuqiu Bao". Today, a girl told him that "Qiuqiu Bao" just sounds good. eat.

"Hey! That fat aunt was dragged in by me."

"There is also that person who didn't buy the red bean paste xiaoqiu pancakes. He left me two strings of money, saying that he would order [-] and pick them up tomorrow morning."

Er Niu poked his head toward Chen Qi, and quickly said, "I also brought this person in."

Qi Wensheng led the little donkey and walked in front, listening to the three people talking, the smile on his face never stopped, thinking that his previous work performance was also good, but he never had this sense of accomplishment at this time.

After several people arrived in the village, Qi Wensheng told Erniu and Chen Qi to go home first, and he led Qiuxi to walk in different directions.

"Wen Sheng, where are we going?" Qiu Xi saw that this was not the way back to his thatched cottage.

Qi Wensheng smiled, didn't speak, took Qiuxi's hand and continued to walk forward.

After Qiuxi curiously followed Qi Wensheng for a while, looking at the mountain in the distance, he suddenly had a thought, knowing where Qi Wensheng was going and what Qi Wensheng was going there for.

Immediately, Qiuxi's face became hot, and she looked down at her feet as she walked.
