Chapter 29: Clingy



The first night it was Dahu who slept next to her, the second night it was Erhu, and tonight it was Xiaohu.

Three kids, actually know about the rotation system.

Big Tiger and Second Tiger had already fallen asleep, but Little Tiger was still trying to keep his eyes open, moving his little head left and right.

Su Xiaoxiao asked him, "What's wrong?"

Xiaohu said, "Xiaofu (Tiger), I won't sleep."

He is the youngest, and it is finally his turn to sleep with his mother, but he doesn't want to sleep and wants to stay awake.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Why don't you sleep?"

Xiaohu didn't answer.

How could Su Xiaoxiao know what was in his mind?

She turned off the light, lay down next to Xiaohu, and said seriously, "Close your eyes!"

Xiaohu closed his eyes obediently, but still couldn't fall asleep.

"mother."

Xiaohu called her.

Su Xiaoxiao pretended to be asleep.

Xiaohu stopped barking after three times. If you thought he was finally going to sleep, you were wrong.

A small bulge appeared in the three little ones' quilt.

Soon, the small bag moved towards Su Xiaoxiao with a puffing sound.

——Xiaohu crawled into her bed.

Sleep with mom! Don't tell Dahu and Erhu! Coincidentally, Dahu and Erhu did the same thing. ——The first thing Su Xiaoxiao did when she got up was to look for the children. There was one at the head of the bed, one at the foot of the bed, and one curled up in the corner.

After arranging the three people, Su Xiaoxiao went to Old Man Su's room and called Su Ergou.

There is a lot to do today and she can't handle it all by herself.

When Su Ergou went up to the toilet and came to the kitchen, Xiao Wu was there too.

He looked stunned.

Mrs. Wu hurriedly explained: "I, I have nothing to do, so I came over to help."

Su Ergou looked at his sister, and his sister didn't object.

"Oh." He accepted it.

Mrs. Wu was a little nervous at first, but Su Ergou just focused on his work and ignored her, so she gradually relaxed.

Su Ergou mainly did the rough work, while Xiao Wu helped with washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, and kneading dough.

She was efficient and quick in her work, and she could remember everything after Su Xiaoxiao only had to explain it once.

Xiao Wu and Su Ergou helped...mainly Xiao Wu, who managed to finish the work in the same amount of time despite having twice as much workload as yesterday.

Su Xiaoxiao was very satisfied.

"My mother is awake. I have to go over there."

Mrs. Wu always keeps an eye on what's going on at home.

Su Xiaoxiao said, "Okay, you go first, and I'll discuss your wages when I come back from town."

Xiao Wu shook her head: "You have already given it."

Twenty copper coins.

Her husband Liu Ping worked as a laborer in the town. He could not earn that much even if he worked very hard all day. If he was lucky, he could earn ten or five copper coins. Most of the time, he only had two meals.

"I'll come back tomorrow morning."

She turned and went out the back door of the kitchen, then turned back again after thinking of something. "No, I won't charge you for your work!"

Su Xiaoxiao burst out laughing: "Okay."

"I'll help you take care of the child, too."

She sneaked back a second time.

Su Xiaoxiao was almost laughing to death at her sneaky look.

Before leaving, Su Xiaoxiao went to Wei Ting's house. His wound had healed well and his stitches could be removed tonight.

Afterwards, she left another message for Old Man Su.

I originally wanted to leave a note, but sadly discovered that all three members of the family were illiterate.

"I write in simplified Chinese characters, and Father Su can't understand them either."

The young butcher has just set up his stall.

He was cheated on and was in a bad mood, but life had to go on.

Su Xiaoxiao came to the stall and asked him with a smile: "Have you thought about it? Do you want to split the profits with me, or do you want me to supply the goods?"

The butcher looked at the fat country girl who had cheated on him, turned his face away sadly and said, "Share the money."

This way, any loss will be hers, and if there is any profit, I'll also have a share.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled: "Okay."

The butcher frowned and looked at her: "You are not surprised at all, you knew I would choose to split the profit?"

Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands: "Because you don't have to take risks when you split the profits. If you make money, you get a share, and if you lose money, it's mine."

"But I want 37." said the butcher.

"Two-eight! Also, sell your meat to me at half the price!"

"Half? That's too much!"

"Just think of it as the wholesale price. The goods I supply can be sold at a good price. You can do the math and make your money back!"

The butcher finally agreed.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Then let's try selling it for a day. Hope we can have a happy cooperation." - After leaving the two large jars, Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou went to Jin Ji again.

Although it was only sold for two days, Su Xiaoxiao’s wife cake had already spread throughout Jin Kee.

"Oh, I'm not saying anything, can you guys at Jinji change up the variety of their dim sum? They're so expensive, and they always have the same few items. The biscuits made by a little village girl are tastier than your biscuits! And the name is even more novel, it's called... Wife Cakes!"

The person who made the complaint was an old customer of Jin Kee.

Shopkeeper Sun didn't take it seriously when he heard this: "They bought it only because that girl saved a child at Jinji, not because her cakes were delicious."

The master chef of Jinji is a retired chef from the capital, and he worked as an imperial chef in the palace in his early years!

Would I lose to a little country girl?

"Hey, wife cakes are here!"

The old customer walked out of Jin Ji without saying a word, "Girl! Leave a few for me!"

"Wife cake? Huh, so tacky!" Shopkeeper Sun went to the kitchen coldly.

Several chefs were gathering together to taste the cakes. They had to taste the cakes they sold every day themselves, and only sold them if the taste was acceptable. Otherwise, they would rather throw them away than sell them to customers.

They are currently trying to improve their shortbread.

"It smells so good." Shopkeeper Sun walked forward and looked at the cakes on the table and said, "Are they newly made? They seem to be different from the previous recipe."

The cooks said nothing.

Shopkeeper Sun took a bite and his eyes lit up: "It's soft, sweet and sticky, much better than before! Who made it?"

The cooks looked at each other.

One of them summoned up the courage to say, "I bought it from outside...it's the wife cake made by that little village girl."

Shopkeeper Sun: “…” - In the alley near Jinji, Su Xiaoxiao sold the last wife cake on the tray and was ready to close the stall.

"Girl, give me two with red bean filling and one with pickled mustard greens!"

A young woman came over and said.

Su Xiaoxiao said politely: "Sorry, today's is sold out."

The woman pointed at Su Ergou's basket and said, "Isn't there more in here?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "These are not for sale."

Su Ergou leaned close to his sister's ear and whispered, "Sister, there are so many left, why don't you sell them?"

"You'll know in a moment."

Half an hour later, the two stood at the gate of Wutong Academy.

The students have already started class and there are not many people outside.

The gatekeeper stopped them and asked, "What are you doing?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I'm looking for Shen Chuan."

Good morning
