Chapter 26 Earning Money



Su Xiaoxiao kept her promise and gave him one.

The question is, which flavor should he choose?

The pickled mustard greens are delicious, oily but not greasy, crispy but not dry, salty with a hint of sweetness, and very satisfying to eat.

But red bean filling and mung bean filling are not bad either.

After much hesitation, the scholar paid another twenty copper coins and bought three flavors.

Su Xiaoxiao handed him the wrapped cake: "Didn't you seem to want to eat my cake yesterday?"

The scholar groaned, "I, I, I, I think about it today, is that not okay?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled slightly: "Okay."

The little chubby girl is quite cute when she smiles.

The scholar cleared his throat and said with a look of elegance: "Well, will you come tomorrow? Will you be late again? Will you change places?"

Su Xiaoxiao was asked three questions by the soul: "..."

Due to many uncontrollable factors, setting up stalls is very random and Su Xiaoxiao cannot guarantee it.

The scholar suggested, "Hey, why don't you sell it at the entrance of our academy? Many people from our academy come all the way to Jin Kee to buy dim sum."

His words may seem ordinary, but they actually gave Su Xiaoxiao a very high evaluation. He almost said that her wife cake was a high-end substitute for Jinji dim sum.

In ancient times, there were students from poor families who could enter academies, but there were also children from wealthy families.

This provided Su Xiaoxiao with an idea.

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and asked, "But, are stalls allowed in front of the academy?"

The scholar hurriedly said, "Let it go!"

Su Ergou, who was standing by, looked at him strangely: "How do you know? Is this academy owned by your family?"

Scholar: “Yes!”

Su Ergou: “…”

The scholar's name is Shen Chuan, with the courtesy name Qinghe. He is indeed the biological son of the dean of Wutong Academy.

Xinghua Town is not big, and there is only one academy. It is not in the center of the town, but it is not too far away either. It is about three or four miles away on foot.

Shen Chuan sighed and said, "I asked Jin Ji to set up a stall, but unfortunately they looked down on it."

It is normal for Jin Kee to look down on others, after all, it has no shortage of customers.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I'll think about it."

It’s not far from Jinji to the academy, but if you count the distance from the village to the town, it’s a full ten miles.

On the one hand, it’s because of the long distance. On the other hand, the main customers there are students. If we can’t sell out all the wife cakes before the morning class, we will probably have to wait until the students get out of school at noon.

This way, the time cost is high.

Shen Chuan wanted to persuade them a little more, but another guest came over.

She is a fat lady with a kind heart.

The old lady, carrying a basket, pushed Shen Chuan aside and said to Su Xiaoxiao with a smile, "Girl, you are here! I have passed by several times and thought you were not here to sell cakes today!"

Su Xiaoxiao said politely, "I'm a little late today. What flavor would you like? Or the same as yesterday, two pickled mustard greens and one red bean?"

The old lady looked at her in surprise and said, "Girl, you have such a good memory!"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "You give me a very friendly feeling. It's hard for people to forget you."

Who wouldn't say something nice when doing business? But she was the first one to praise the old lady like this.

The old lady was delighted: "I want the ones with pickled mustard greens and red bean fillings. Also, do you have any other fillings?"

"There are green beans." Su Xiaoxiao said.

"Four of them!" said the old lady.

In a blink of an eye, another eight were sold.

Although we missed the morning peak, they were still sold out quickly. And because of repeat customers, the number of wife cakes we tried was half less than yesterday.

In addition, she corrected the way she packed the cakes yesterday in time, so not a single one was crushed today.

"Sister! We sold 900 coins today!"

Su Ergou said excitedly.

There were still a hundred pancakes, six of which were for tasting, one was given away, and Su Ergou ate three of them live.

"This is Xiao Yiliang!"

"Go to the market." Su Xiaoxiao said.

"Okay!" Su Ergou put away his purse and took Su Xiaoxiao's bamboo sieve tray and backpack, "Sister, I'll take it!"

“I’m losing weight!”

"Well, all right."

Su Ergou turned around and gave her his backpack.

Su Xiaoxiao: “…”

The two went to the market.

The butcher was chopping pork bones for someone. When he saw Su Xiaoxiao walking towards him, he was so nervous that his hands shook and he almost chopped off his thumb! "Fifty cents in total."

He said to the uncle who was buying pork bones.

The old man looked at him as if he were a fool, paid the money, took the pork bone and left.

The butcher smiled awkwardly: "You, you really came?"

Su Xiaoxiao took out a bowl of braised pork intestines from her backpack: "Here."

The butcher hurried to get the copper coins.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "No need, this bowl is for you."

The butcher was shocked: "What? Give it to me?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "If you think it tastes good, how about I sell it to you in the future?"

"ah?"

The butcher was shocked again.

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, "I've been here for a few days. There's no one selling braised food in the market. Let's split the profits. I'll rent your stall and give you 10% of the daily income. Or I can directly supply you with the goods at the lowest price. You can sell them at whatever price you want."

The butcher's smile gradually froze.

The chubby country girl didn’t fall in love with him... She fell in love with his stall... - On the other side, Shen Chuan returned to the academy with a big bag of newly bought wife cakes.

"Dad! I'm back!"

He first went to his father's yard to pay his respects.

It turned out that his father was not in the room.

He was about to leave when an angry young man's voice came from a compartment in the back row.

"How do you treat people in Rong'en Hall? It's been two days! Not only has my cousin not gotten better, but his condition has gotten worse! He used to wake up three or four times a day, but from yesterday afternoon until now, my cousin hasn't woken up once! Is this the most skilled doctor you mentioned in Rong'en Hall? You're almost killing my cousin!"

"Sir, please calm down and allow Doctor Dong to check your brother's pulse again."

"What's the point of taking your pulse? You're just a quack!"

clang!

The boy seemed to have smashed a vase.

Shen Chuan let out a low cry.

Suddenly, someone behind him asked in a deep voice: "What are you doing?"

Shen Chuan shuddered and turned to look at his father: "Dad! You scared me to death!"

Dean Shen looked at his son sternly: "Who told you to eavesdrop here?"

Shen Chuan defended himself, "I didn't eavesdrop. I came to bring some snacks to Dad. Didn't you say that the wife cakes yesterday were delicious? I went to buy some more."

Dean Shen had a serious expression and said nothing.

Shen Chuan asked curiously, "Dad, who are those two guests who suddenly moved into our house? The older one looks like he's dying, and the younger one looks like he's ready to kill someone."

Dean Shen said coldly: "Don't ask questions that are not your responsibility."

Shen Chuan curled his lips and muttered softly: "Actually, I know a doctor, her medical skills are quite good."

Dean Shen glanced at his son and warned him, "Don't do anything reckless. Not everyone is qualified to treat the person inside. If something goes wrong, you will be beheaded!"

Shen Chuan froze.
