Chapter 150 Xiao Abu's Identity
Wen Zhenyi also prepared ice jelly and cold shrimp, which are both inexpensive, economical and thirst-quenching. Tomorrow she plans to go to the pharmacy to buy some medicinal herbs to make another batch of herbal tea.
After noon, the sun was so scorching that it made people dizzy. There were fewer pedestrians on the road, and the people in the market packed up their stalls early and went home.
The owner of the beef stall closed early today and ran to their shop to drink a bowl of herbal tea: "Boss, what herbal tea do you have today?"
"Hey, you closed your stall early today!"
"It's all thanks to you guys that you bought most of the beef for me, so I can close my stall early."
"Today we have ice jelly and cold shrimp, black plum soup, popsicles, and seafood in sauce. What would you like to eat?"
"Are there any extra snacks today?"
"It's a hot day, so make something sweet and sour to whet everyone's appetite."
The owner of the beef stall took out a food box and said, "Pack up whatever you can take away. I'll take it home for my wife and children to try. If you can't take it away, I'll bring them here tomorrow."
"Okay, how many copies of each should I give you?"
"I have a wife, parents, and children at home. We have quite a large family. Please fill at least five servings for me. Lend me the bowl first. I will return it to you when I open the stall tomorrow."
"Okay, no problem."
The owner of the beef stall also ordered one of each for himself, ready to reward himself.
Wen Zhenyi brought him seafood in sauce, black plum soup, a bowl of ice jelly and cold shrimp: "Eat first. If you feel like you can eat more, you can have another popsicle."
"Thank you, Miss Wen." As she spoke, she looked towards the seafood in sauce. She could smell the fragrance of lemon, garlic, and various seasonings. "This smell makes me hungry."
"Eat slowly. If it's not enough, you can add more."
"good."
When the other customers saw the seafood in sauce, they couldn't help but ask, "Boss, how much is this seafood in sauce?"
"Fifteen cents a piece. There's a promotion going on these three days. Now it only costs ten cents. Would you like one?"
"This is a good relationship. I want one."
"Madam, I want one too."
“.....”
The hall suddenly became lively, and Shen Hanxing's accounting speed increased a lot.
Wen Yongnan and Wen Chengwen were both grinding rice slurry in the kitchen, which was the material for making rice noodles tomorrow.
Hearing the bustle in the hall, the people in the kitchen all had smiles on their faces: "This business is really good."
"In the past, no one ate shrimps and clams. They were only two cents per pound, and people still despised them." Aunt You said with a smile.
"That's right, but I think the prices of these things will go up after today." Aunt Dou said with a smile.
Aunt Yin: "Who says it's not true? A lot of these things have passed through Yi Yi's hands, so the prices have gone up a bit."
Aunt Ding: "Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"
"I think it's a good thing. Everyone can make money now. We don't have to work so hard like before, when we couldn't even afford to eat."
Wen Chengwen didn't say anything, just listened to their chatting with a smile.
Wen Zhenyi looked at the beef in the pot and told them what to add and how much to add.
Zhu Tao and the others took notes seriously, and if they didn't understand something, they would ask.
Wen Zhenyi would patiently explain things to them until they understood.
Aunt You jokingly asked, "Yi Yi, you've taught us everything. Aren't you afraid that we'll learn your skills and open our own shop?"
"Then the relationship will be better, and I won't have to be so tired."
"Why are you so careless, kid?"
Aunt Ding also disagreed: "Yeah, everyone else is hiding things, but you're just open and honest."
Wen Zhen smiled and said, "How can you ever make all the money? My ability is limited. If you can learn these things and open your own store, I fully support you."
"You agree with it so much, aren't you afraid that you won't make any money?" Aunt Dou gave her a sidelong glance.
"That's right. Haven't you heard of the saying that teaching a disciple will starve him to death?" Aunt Yin said unhappily.
"Aunts, I can do a lot. If each of you learn three things, or even master just one, it will be enough for you to support your family."
Wen Chengwen nodded and said, "That's right, if you can learn it, then every household in our village will be able to live in a house with blue bricks and large tiles in the future."
"That's a nice thought." Ma Yinghe heard him say when she came in.
"Wife, isn't this just for everyone to have a good life?"
"Indeed, if our village is full of blue brick and tile houses in the future and all the children can read, it will be very cool to tell others about it." Ma Yinghe walked outside with the dishes.
Wen Zhenyi placed servings of herbal tea and seafood in sauce in bowls and said, "It's not impossible. It's just a matter of time."
This busy day finally came to an end, and everyone was too tired to talk.
For dinner, we made braised beef noodles, which was enough to get by.
The private school will start classes tomorrow. Brothers Wen Yongnan and Wen Yongman followed Mr. Shen to the private school. This day was quite fulfilling and they didn't rest since they opened their eyes.
The aunts were all hardworking people. They cleaned the shop inside and out, then washed up and went back to their rooms to sleep.
Zhu Tao prepared the dough for frying dough sticks tomorrow morning in advance, which would make things much easier tomorrow.
Wen Zhenyi checked the seasonings in the kitchen and found that there were not enough onions, ginger and garlic, so he had to go to the market to buy some early tomorrow morning.
"Yiyi, how much did you earn today?"
Wen Zhenyi didn't care about this: "You know?"
Zhu Tao shook her head: "I don't know, it just seems that business is good today, but you exempted some, I just don't know whether it is a loss or a profit."
"That's easy. Just ask Brother Shen tomorrow and you'll know."
"That's right."
Wen Zhenyi likes to sit in the quiet yard and rest, which allows her to relax her tired body: "Axiang, why are you back?"
Ah Xiang came out from the darkness and looked at her in confusion: "How did you find me?"
"Your breath." Wen Zhenyi looked at the woman who walked out of the darkness.
"My master and his men will be in town tomorrow."
"Are they okay?"
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."
"Are you here to take little Abu away?"
Ah Xiang shook his head and walked over to sit next to her: "I came to say thank you."
Wen Zhenyi raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "Thank you?"
"Well, if it weren't for you, the young master would have been in trouble, and I wouldn't be alive. Thank you."
"No need to thank me. Are you going to the capital, or are you planning to return?"
"You know our identities?"
"You called Little Abu His Highness the other day, and I also heard that a delegation recently arrived. I'm sure the members of this delegation are of high status."
