Office worker and single dog Jiang Wanwan wakes up one day and transmigrates into a period novel, becoming the cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name and surname.
The or...
Jiang Wanwan had almost run out of wool and had some sugar-roasted chestnuts, so she planned to go to the black market to test the market.
She didn't give the sugar-roasted chestnuts to Erhunzi. After all, this thing tastes best when it is fried and eaten immediately. If it is left for a long time, the taste will be affected.
There is no need to worry about that with her. After frying, she puts the food into the kitchen right away. No matter when you take it out, it is always hot, as if it had just come out of the pan.
Aunt Xu saw Jiang Wanwan walking towards her with her small feet. "Why haven't I seen you for a long time? I thought you weren't coming."
Jiang Wanwan took out some sugar-roasted chestnuts and said, "I don't feel like going out when the weather gets cold. Auntie, try this. I just roasted it today."
"Oh, sugar-roasted chestnuts, you can make this too," Aunt Xu took the chestnut, peeled one and put it in her mouth.
You know what, the skin of freshly fried chestnuts is easy to peel off, and you can see a whole chestnut kernel after peeling it. It is so soft, sweet and delicious in your mouth that it can make you dizzy.
It can be said that this is the most delicious sugar-roasted chestnuts she has ever eaten, and Aunt Xu praised it again.
"Have you run out of wool? My Chen Hai got another pound and saved it for you."
"I was just about to tell you shamelessly that I've just run out of yarn, and if possible, I'd like to take the rest this time."
It would be much more convenient if Aunt Xu was around. If possible, Jiang Wanwan would try to avoid going to the family compound alone to look for Aunt Xu's son.
"Hey, what's the point of being shameless? I should have given you this a long time ago, and I have to do it. When you finish selling the things, just follow me. The things are at my son's house, and I'll take you there."
"Thank you so much, Auntie," Jiang Wanwan grabbed another handful of chestnuts and gave them to her. Auntie Xu refused for a while, but finally accepted them with a helpless smile.
"You look like a blessed girl. Next time I have something good, I'll save it for you."
Jiang Wanwan smiled and agreed.
Aunt Xu's son is the deputy director of the textile factory. Just because Aunt Xu can sell scraps of cloth at will, we know that neither of them is the kind of person who is rigid and only follows the rules.
It’s not that honest and selfless people are bad, but the world is not black and white. Those who are too rigid are easily broken, while those who are gentle are invincible.
Jiang Wanwan, a social animal, has been tempered by society and has experienced it firsthand.
Although she had little contact with Aunt Xu's son, Jiang Wanwan could sense that Chen Hai still had a long way to go. He was a leader with both ability and wisdom.
It never hurts to have good relations with such people, no matter what era it is.
The two chatted for a while, and then someone came to Jiang Wanwan to buy some cookies. It was an old customer, Aunt Li, who was introduced by Aunt Xu before.
Aunt Li bought a lot this time, asking for three pounds of small cookies. It was really because Jiang Wanwan's stall hours were too irregular, and she was afraid that if the next time she went out, it would be a little longer and her grandson would have nothing to eat.
Ever since eating Jiang Wanwan's cookies and snacks, the two little guys' appetites have improved and their faces have gained some weight.
Jiang Wanwan also made some cakes this time. Her cakes were all baked in the oven using the materials and tools in her two-bedroom apartment. They were more milky and softer than the egg cakes of this era.
Aunt Li ordered two kilograms without hesitation. When she heard that Jiang Wanwan wanted to sell for a while longer, she hurried home.
"Wait a minute, I have a few friends who want to buy your stuff. I'll go get them for you."
Jiang Wanwan quickly thanked Aunt Li. Seeing that Jiang Wanwan was busy, Aunt Xu went back to her side.
After a while, Aunt Li came over with four or five other women. Aunt Li pointed at Jiang Wanwan and said, "This girl has excellent craftsmanship and the things she makes are also very clean."
You still have to pay attention to the hygiene of food. A few people were relieved when they saw Jiang Wanwan. Someone asked, "Can I try it?"
"Yes, they are. My cookies and snacks are made with milk and eggs. They are solid ingredients and are good for both adults and children."
Jiang Wanwan said with a smile.
Since they can taste it, these people are not polite.
Although I heard that the biscuits sold by this man are delicious and nutritious, even Aunt Li's twin grandchildren have gained weight visibly recently. Aunt Li said that it was because of the snacks and biscuits sold by this man.
But that being said, these days, a biscuit that costs one yuan and two pounds is no joke. It's more expensive than meat. Even if you just want to try it, it's worth it if you eat one or two more.
Everyone took a small biscuit, put it in their mouth and chewed it slowly. After someone finished eating, they immediately asked Jiang Wanwan to get a pound of it.
The small biscuits were weighed in the two-bedroom apartment. Jiang Wanwan took a pack directly and handed over the money and the goods.
Once one person started buying something, the others followed suit and took out their money. Some bought biscuits, some bought cakes and chestnut cakes, and one even bought some sugar-roasted chestnuts.
Of course, there were exceptions. One of them was a woman in her twenties who tried the cookies and looked at Jiang Wanwan, "Can I try some snacks?"
Jiang Wanwan glanced at the small paper bag she had just taken out. She had just taken out a few biscuits, and after giving each person one, there were still two left, but now there were none left.
Despite this, I still patiently asked, "Which snack would you like to try?"
The woman frowned, looking condescending. "Can't we try them all?"
Jiang Wanwan cut a piece of cake and chestnut cake respectively, cut each piece into several small pieces, and invited the customers around to taste them.
A few small pieces of snacks were quickly shared and eaten. The woman frowned even more tightly. "This little bit is barely enough to fill the gaps between your teeth. How can you taste it? Can't you give everyone a whole piece to try? You're a stingy vendor, and you expect everyone to buy from you?"
Jiang Wanwan almost laughed out of anger when she heard this. It wasn't that she really cared about those snacks, but this woman tasted them for a long time and had no intention of buying them. She looked disgusted, as if someone owed her money.
But before she could say anything, Aunt Li spoke first, "I'm talking about Xiao Guo's. They sell expensive things. We'll just try them and see how they taste. If you're worried, you can buy a small amount first and come back after you've enjoyed the food. If you don't like the food, don't order it next time."
Aunt Li felt quite embarrassed, but it was because the girl was so generous as to let everyone taste it. You can go to the supply and marketing cooperative and try it. If you dare to say the word "taste", the sales clerks will roll their eyes at you.
"But she hasn't even let anyone taste the flavor. The stuff is so expensive, who knows if it's really good or not? If it were really good, would it be sold in a place like this?"
Aunt Li's face turned dark. When these people saw that her grandson was well-raised, they all asked her how she did it. She told them what he ate and drank every day.
I heard that the children loved the cookies she bought, so I asked her to help lead the way, and Xiao Guo’s wife was one of them.
I heard that her milk supply was poor, and the child had never been fed with milk since he was born, but had to eat porridge. The child grew up pale and thin, and her mother-in-law either complained that she had no milk and that her grandson was being wronged, or complained that she, a woman, didn't know how to raise a child.
She called her because she felt that the child was really pitiful. Although it was a singleton, it was older than her grandson, but not as good-looking as her two grandsons.
Who knows...
