The next morning, Xia Zhiliao was awakened by a series of tinkling sounds outside. He stretched and found that his parents had already gotten up.
She put on her clothes and went out, and saw her fourth uncle chopping wood in the yard.
"Zhi Liao, are you awake? Stay away and don't collapse."
Xia Zhiliao obediently took two steps back, wanting to see what his fourth uncle was going to do.
"Hey, Fourth Brother, why are you so busy so early in the morning and not letting me sleep?"
Xia Jinxiu yawned, and then habitually placed her warm, balm-smeared hands on Xia Zhiliao's little face, feeling warm.
"I'm just thinking about what to sell. I haven't figured it out yet, so I'll chop the wood first."
"You can't even cook, and you're selling food?" Xia Jinxiu couldn't believe it.
Xia Zhiliao could smell the sweet and fragrant scent of her aunt's body. Together with the loud sound of chopping wood and her breath, she was immediately reminded of the sound of popcorn that resounded through the sky during the winter in the north.
[Yes, Fourth Uncle can make popcorn. This is also simple. You don’t need any cooking skills. You just need an iron popcorn bucket. I haven’t seen anyone selling it on the street. If Fourth Uncle sells it, he will definitely make money.]
Xia Jinheng was waiting for this sentence. Although he didn't understand what he heard, he knew that what his niece said must be correct.
He just made this thing.
But how to do it specifically still depends on my little niece.
"Zhi Liao, what do you think Fourth Uncle should sell?" Xia Jinheng asked deliberately.
Xia Zhiliao was very smart. He smiled at Xia Jinheng, then turned around and went back to the house to find paper and pen.
"Fourth brother, you are really nice. You ask a child." Xia Jinxiu felt that fourth brother must not be able to hear it, otherwise, why would he need to ask if he heard it?
"So what? Zhiliao is a very smart girl. I think she is different from other children. I think she can do whatever she wants to sell. This girl is the lucky star of our family!"
Xia Jinxiu smiled and thought that Fourth Brother was quite lucky and had made the right bet.
In front of his fourth uncle and aunt, Xia Zhiliao drew the prototype of a popcorn bucket and also showed how to use it. Then he gestured "bang" with his hands, quickly covered his ears, and looked at Xia Jinheng expectantly.
Xia Jinheng's little trick worked, and he happily touched his niece's head, "Sister, see, I was right, wasn't I? Only our cicada could come up with this thing. I've never seen it before, but it's so rare to see it. I'm going to rely on this thing to become the richest man in Jianglin City!"
[Fourth Uncle, you are underestimating yourself. You are not just the richest man in Jianglin City. You should have a broader vision. In the future, you will have more money than you can count!]
Xia Jinxiu cleared her throat. It seemed that this brother was not a simple person either.
Xia Jinheng was already very happy in his heart, pinching Xia Zhiliao's nose, "When Fourth Uncle makes money, I will buy you whatever you want."
Xia Jinxiu was also happy for her brother, "Fourth brother, what about me? You can't be partial. You only think about Zhiliao and ignore me, your sister."
"How can that be possible? When the time comes, I will take care of all the gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin as your dowry."
"It's a deal!" Xia Jinxiu smiled, but she probably wouldn't need a dowry in the future. After all, would the emperor's woman be short of money?
"Okay, I'll go to the blacksmith shop now. The sooner it's done, the better."
"Wait!" Xia Jinxiu suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" Xia Jinheng was stunned.
"You don't need money to go to the blacksmith shop?"
Xia Jinheng scratched his head and said, "Look at me, I forgot about this matter when I was happy. I'll go ask mom for some."
"Come on, the money from mother is for Zhiliao and my second brother, no one else can touch it. You may not be able to make money with this thing, so mother will not give it to you."
"Then...what should I do? I'll go think of a solution."
"What do you want to do? Can silver appear out of thin air?" Xia Jinxiu glared at him, then took off the two small silver pendants on her ears. "This is all I have, and I don't know if it's enough. You can decide."
"Sister, this is..."
"Don't say but. Remember, when you make money in the future, don't forget what you just said."
Xia Jinheng's eyes were almost red. "Absolutely not. From now on, Fourth Brother will cover all your expenses."
Xia Jinxiu smiled and said, "Go quickly!"
Seeing the harmonious and touching aunt at this moment, Xia Zhiliao couldn't help but think about the ending of the two people. He felt a sharp pain in his heart. He thought that in the future, his fourth uncle would use any means to make money just to win the hearts of the people for his little aunt.
But the family relationship nowadays is so good that it’s enviable.
Xia Jinxiu bent down and pinched Xia Zhiliao's cheek, "Little girl, where did you see that thing? I haven't even seen it before."
Xia Zhiliao smiled guiltily and gestured that it was in the book.
Xia Jinxiu didn't think too deeply about it. Love is what it is. As long as she can make money, that's enough.
What she is concerned about now is that her little niece said she wants to marry the emperor, but the emperor is in the capital and she is in this remote little village.
When can I meet the emperor? If I don’t meet the emperor, how can he fall in love with me?
Even if she went to the capital rashly, she would probably not be able to meet the emperor, so she still had to get more information from her niece.
"Let's go. Your mother is busy embroidering to make money. Today, your aunt will make you something delicious."
[Did I hear that correctly? My aunt, who has never done housework, is going to cook? Has the sun risen from the west? ]
Xia Zhiliao actually went to look at the blue sky and found that the sun was still in the east, bright red, like a pancake smeared with chili sauce, very tempting.
At this moment, her stomach started to growl.
[It's so embarrassing, but I really want to eat Jiangxiang cake. ]
Xia Jinxiu, who had her back to her, was slightly stunned. What kind of cake is a sauce-flavored cake?
She had never heard of it.
Although the family received five taels of silver, Old Lady Xia kept it and did not allow anyone to touch it, so the food at home was still very poor and no one dared to mention it. After all, the money was saved for Xia Zhiliao's medical treatment.
Isn’t curing illness more important than eating?
I have to say that Xia Jinxiu’s cooking skills are really not that good. It took her two boiled potatoes to get them cooked.
Then she looked at the little girl apologetically and said, "Zhi Liao, my aunt doesn't cook often, so you just have to make do with what you have."
Xia Zhiliao smiled, but she didn't want to settle for it.
Xia Jinxiu looked embarrassed. She really wanted to perform well in front of her little niece, but how did the fried potatoes turn into boiled potatoes? And she was afraid of cutting her hand because the slice was too thick!
Xia Zhiliao also smiled.
[Aunt, I know you want to feed me, but this really doesn’t taste good! ]
Suddenly, she saw a large cabbage placed in the corner of the kitchen, then looked at the cooked potatoes and the farm-made soybean paste, and her eyes lit up.
【Delicious, isn’t it coming? 】
