In the end, there was only a small basin of pork offal left, and no one bought it. The villagers were not all rich, so how could they afford to eat out every day?
So Su Wei also understood that this deal would fail.
But the county town is too far away, it is not convenient to go to the town, and pig offal is not available every day.
Chen Yan put the money he collected on the table. Looking at the dozens of round copper coins, he was actually a little happy.
"tomorrow…"
"I won't sell it tomorrow." Su Wei said.
Chen Yan was a little surprised, but he didn't ask anything.
Su Wei continued to poke with the wool ball. She had almost finished it yesterday, and today she added some black wool and finished it quickly. She put the thing on the table.
Chen Yan was sitting there with a cool and noble look, but when he saw the chubby and cute lamb on the table, he was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but reach out to pick it up.
It is shaped like a lamb, but not the common kind of lamb. It is indescribably cute.
"Is this a sheep?" he asked again.
Su Wei nodded and asked him: "How is it? Is it cute?"
Chen Yan nodded.
He likes it very much.
He is a sheep.
I didn't expect Su Wei to be so thoughtful. If she gave him this, he would...
Then Su Wei took the lamb away from him alive.
"Do you think it's okay to sell this thing?"
Su Wei asked while playing with the lamb.
Shen Yan "..."
Not for him.
It turns out it wasn't for him...
"It's just hard to make." Su Wei's hands were almost broken after making just one. He didn't know if anyone would buy it even if he sold it at a high price.
Chen Yan still didn't say anything.
Su Wei looked at him. He lowered his head and finally said, "You have to go to the county to sell it, but you have offended Constable Li. It's best not to meet him in the county."
Su Wei nodded: "Indeed..." She paused and asked: "What is the county like?"
“It’s very big and prosperous.”
Chen Yan described the place as full of bluestone pavements, blue brick and tiled houses, and numerous vendors and shops.
This made Su Wei yearn for...
She also wanted to go to the county, but it was too far away and no one wanted to go with her. She went alone and was knocked unconscious and sold on the way...
Let’s wait until Chen Yan’s legs and feet are healed.
"I'm going to make dinner." Su Wei said and went out.
After she left, Chen Yan couldn't help but pick up the lamb on the table and look at it again and again...
I looked again...
Looked and looked...
The lamb was placed aside while eating, and Chen Yan stared at it for several times.
Su Wei couldn't help but ask, "Do you like it?"
"Who would like such childish things!" Chen Yan said, lowering his head and eating his rice.
Su Wei “…”
Su Wei put the lamb away.
Chen Yan frowned and took a look, then quickly looked away.
The next day, there were indeed very few people coming to buy pork offal. Seeing that there were no more, I gave up the idea.
Nanqiao Village seemed to have returned to peace.
Su Wei was not idle. She went to buy some eggs. She had flour and sugar at home, and she planned to make a small snack.
Because of the limited conditions and the simple and delicious snack, the aroma soon wafted from the kitchen.
The Zhang family heard it first, and Zhang Erya frowned and said, "Mom, I'll go out and take a look."
Because of selling pig offal, Zhang's mother not only lost money, but was also beaten by her husband for ruining the Zhang family's reputation. Today, her face was covered with wounds, and she dared not speak out. When she heard Zhang Erya's words, she couldn't help but scold: "Go away, go away, you are always running outside. You have nails on your butt and you can't sit still, right?"
Zhang Erya had already gone out, and then sadly discovered that the fragrance came from Shen Er's house.
At this time, quite a few people had gathered at the door of Su Wei's house. Su Wei brought out a bowl of fried golden snacks. Each of these snacks was as big as a child's fist. When you broke open the light yellow inside, it made you drool just by looking at it...
Su Wei handed one to Chen Yan, who ate it slowly.
Everyone swallowed their saliva...
Is this still a human being?
Su Wei said without waiting for anyone to ask: "Fellow villagers, freshly baked snacks, two cents each, buy three and get one free, buy five and get two free, the quantity is limited, first come first served..."
When everyone heard it was so expensive, they didn't want to buy it anymore.
But children love this kind of thing the most. They gather around it and refuse to leave, pestering adults to buy it for them.
Su Wei explained to everyone: "Don't think I'm selling it too expensive. Look, I use oil, flour, eggs, and sugar, and I only make this little bit. I only earn a few cents for this pot. Just think about how expensive snacks in the county are..."
Everyone agreed when they saw it.
But it still feels expensive. Rural people would rather spend every penny in half...
Can…
"Mom, I want to eat... woooo... buy me..."
"Mom, I want one too..."
"Grandma, I want to eat too!"
Adults may be reluctant to give it up, but no one will treat children unfairly, and they don’t eat it every day...
So someone paid two cents to buy it.
Su Wei quickly pretended to be satisfied. This kind of simple but delicious snack is a delicacy in this era. The child's mouth was full of glistening after eating it, and he kept saying that it was delicious.
After one child bought it, the other children started crying and shouting to buy more, and then more people took out money.
There are many poor people in the village, but there are also many rich families in such a large village. For example, the village chief has only one beloved grandson, who treats him like the apple of his eye. Seeing that the child liked to eat them, he bought ten at once.
Su Wei gave a few more and the village chief's wife left with a smile on her face.
I didn’t make much, so they sold out in no time. The kids who didn’t get any cried at the top of their lungs, looking at Chen Yan with envy as he ate his snacks…
Shen Yan "..."
He knew that Su Wei was selling these snacks, and he was actually reluctant to eat them, but Su Wei was not stingy in this regard. She kept six or seven of them, ate one or two herself until she was full, and the rest all belonged to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan hesitated for a moment and sold the two remaining coins to two children for four coins...
Holding these four coins, Chen Yan actually thought that he could let Qin Yu carry eight buckets of water...
Thinking of this, he looked up and met Qin Yu's eyes.
There are only two people in Qin Yu's family, his grandfather and him.
They were considered a wealthy family in the village, but there was a problem: feeding two bachelors was a big issue.
The father and son had their meals cooked by someone, and that person was Hu's mother. However, Hu's mother was sick. Regardless of whether her cooking was delicious, now she couldn't even have a hot meal.
A few days ago, Qin Yu saw Su Wei selling pig offal, but he had no desire at all because he had seen how Chen Yan washed the pig intestines and had no appetite at all...
But today, Su Wei was selling snacks, so he ran over. In the end, he was still a step too late. He only saw the snacks held by the children on the street, which looked very tempting...
Qin Yu swallowed his saliva, then watched Chen Yan take a piece of dessert and eat it in a few gulps...
Qin Yu: “…”
I feel even hungrier...
Su Wei ignored them. She shoveled the kitchen fire into the stove and called Chen Yan into the house.
Chen Yan walked into the house slowly with a cane. Su Wei saw Qin Yu still standing there, thought for a moment and said, "There's still water. Come back tomorrow."
Qin Yu pinched his fingers.
