She saw Wei Ting and her face turned slightly red: "Young Master Wei."
Wei Ting ignored her.
She mustered up her courage again, looked at the bundle of dry firewood on Wei Ting's shoulder, and said softly, "Young Master Wei, did you go to chop wood? Your legs are not handy, how could the people of the Su family let you do this kind of work? Put it down, I'll ask my eldest brother to help you carry it over."
"No need." Wei Ting refused coldly.
Su Jinniang said hurriedly: "You don't have to be embarrassed. We are from the same village, and it is only natural for us to help each other..."
"Brother Wei!"
Li Xiaoyong walked out of the house.
He looked at Wei Ting and smiled happily.
"It's really you! I saw you look like you just now at home! Why did you go to chop wood in the snow? Next time you need firewood, tell me!"
As the two families visited each other more frequently, Li Xiaoyong's way of addressing Wei Ting changed from Wei Xiaolangjun to Wei Dage.
"Give it to me!" Li Xiaoyong reached out and grabbed the firewood from Wei Ting's shoulder.
Wei Ting said politely, "Thank you."
The two of them went towards Xiao Su's house together.
Li Xiaoyong ignored Su Jinniang. He was extremely angry because Su Yu Niang had done something like stealing the midwife's favor.
The Su family has done favors for the entire village, so he can't hold a grudge against them, but it's okay for him to just ignore them, right?
Su Jinniang looked at the two people's backs without turning back, as if she had been slapped in the face by someone——
…
At home, the three little ones came back after digging bamboo shoots. To be exact, they saw Su Xiaoxiao and decisively left their father Su and stopped digging.
Su Xiaoxiao soaked the three human cubs and one pony in goat milk.
The three of them sat on low stools in the small east room, holding the handles of the bottles with both hands and drinking milk.
The foal was also drinking milk, and it was fed by Su Xiaoxiao.
The four cubs were blowing at their bottles, each one more proud than the other.
Wei Ting always takes out some weird things for Su Xiaoxiao. It can’t be said that he is not surprised at all, but it is indeed not that weird anymore.
He once asked Su Xiaoxiao what these strange things were and where they came from.
Su Xiaoxiao only replied with three sentences: "It's made from goat's milk! Doctor Fu gave it to me! It's good for your health!"
Wei Ting expressed doubt about the second sentence.
At night, the whole family sat in the main room to eat.
Su Ergou frowned tightly.
He is a man who cannot hide his thoughts, and his thoughts are almost all written on his face.
Wei Ting asked: "Er Gou, what happened?"
Su Ergou took a mouthful of rice and told Jin Ji about the threat he had received.
Su Cheng slapped the table and said, "This is outrageous!"
Is it a big deal that a new shopkeeper has arrived? Threatening his daughter! This is outrageous!
"I'll go with you guys tomorrow morning! Let's see who dares to touch my daughter!"
The next morning, Father Su was sleeping soundly even after being struck by thunder.
I bought some fresh ingredients yesterday, and I have prepared the pickled mustard greens wife cakes, and also the braised pork.
Su Xiaoxiao made 160 more pancakes today than yesterday, a total of 360, 60 of which were for Wutong Academy.
As for the salted egg yolks, Su Xiaoxiao did not let Xiao Wu handle the loading.
It was Jinji that first destroyed the cooperative relationship.
Does Jinji think that it is the only one who can bully others? From now on, she will also impose sanctions on Jinji! Although it may not be of any use——
After all, Jin Kee has a lot of dim sum, so selling one less egg yolk pastry won’t be a big deal.
But it’s not about how much damage is caused, it’s about her attitude and position! …
The three of them drove a donkey cart to the town.
Their previous route was the market, Jinji, and the academy. Now that Liu Ping was with them, they set up their stall near Jinji first.
Liu Ping dropped them off before driving to the market and Wutong Academy to deliver the goods.
At the alley next to Jin Ji, Su Xiaoxiao took out a folding table of her own design and laid out the snacks.
She was no longer worried about Jin Ji running out of flour. First, she took the "sponsorship" from Old Man Su and Su Yu Niang yesterday and went to the market to stock up on enough flour to last for a month.
Second, Shen Chuan told her that the city was not far away and could be reached in one day by riding fast.
Jinji’s hand cannot reach the capital city.
These are the reasons why she has the confidence to compete with Jinji.
When the waiter at Jin Ji saw the brother and sister setting up their stall again, he hurried to the accounting office upstairs to report to Manager He.
Shopkeeper He frowned.
"What did you tell them yesterday?"
The waiter said, "I told you not to set up stalls near us, or we'll chase them away every time we see them!"
Shopkeeper He asked, "Then why are they still here?"
Some truths become distorted as they are passed on. At the beginning, Su Xiaoxiao was not afraid, but was setting a trap for Shopkeeper Sun. The three prescriptions were chosen by Shopkeeper Sun himself.
Shopkeeper Sun had to save face, he couldn't admit that he couldn't beat a little girl. The facts that came out of his mouth were already a bit distorted, and if it was spread by others, the nose would no longer be a nose, and the eyes would no longer be eyes.
However, Manager He and his companions were not aware of the truth.
In their opinion, two country folk, one of whom was a girl, would definitely not have the courage to become enemies with Jin Ji, so they would be defeated if they threatened them!
Shopkeeper He said coldly: "Go down! Drive them away!"
The waiter rolled up his sleeves fiercely: "Okay! I'll go right away!"
It was already daybreak and more and more people were walking on the street.
The brother and sister also opened their business for a new day.
There are returning customers as well as many new customers, and it seems that they have built a good reputation.
"Your five Ergou biscuits, with candied date flavor." Su Xiaoxiao packed them and handed them to the first customer of the day.
She was a lady in her early forties, a familiar customer. Her son studied in a private school in the town.
"Is your son's leg okay?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
The aunt smiled and said, "Speaking of this, I really have to thank you very much. Your method is very effective, and the seaweed you recommended is also delicious. My son has been eating it for half a month and his legs are no longer weak!"
In fact, Su Xiaoxiao had never seen the other son. She heard her aunt's description and felt that his numbness in his limbs and sudden loss of strength might not be a serious illness, but rather a lack of some trace elements.
So I suggested that she eat more potatoes and seaweed.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "You can also eat more longan and celery."
"Okay! I'll make a note of it!" The aunt accepted the snacks and paid seventy-five coins. "Miss, you look much thinner. Did you set up the stall too early and are you tired?"
Yesterday, several old customers said that she was thinner than before. It seems that the effect of weight loss is more obvious than expected.
"Don't tire yourself out." Auntie thought for a moment and then said, "But if you lose some weight, you'll look better."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled.
When the waiter came to chase Su Xiaoxiao away, Su Xiaoxiao had already sold dozens of pancakes, and there were more people lining up than at the entrance of Jin Ji.
The waiter was so angry that he shouted, "Go away! Who allowed you to set up a stall here?"
The guests looked towards him.
Su Xiaoxiao spoke slowly and calmly: "Who allowed me to do this? Of course it was the Lord of Heaven, the Heaven and Earth, and the laws of the Great Zhou!"
The waiter's eyebrows jumped: "What nonsense are you talking about, girl!"
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, "Am I wrong? I didn't commit arson, murder, or sedition, and I didn't occupy the doorway of any shop. I worked hard with my own hands to earn some hard-earned money, so why can't I set up a stall?"
The waiter pointed angrily: "This is Jin Kee's territory!"
Su Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "I am at least ten feet away from Jinji. Did you buy this alley as well? Or does the whole street belong to you?"
"Hey, what's wrong with you Jin Ji? There are so many vendors on the street, and you didn't chase them away. But you chased them away just because they were selling dim sum! Or do you just pick on the honest people and bully them?"
"Your Jinji dim sum is expensive and tastes bad, but you don't allow others to make delicious and cheap ones? Who gives you the courage to chase people away?"
"Yeah! Let's go! You're keeping us from buying snacks!"
“Go, go, go, go!”
An old man directly called the waiter.
The waiter was turned down and went back angrily to report.
"Manager He, why don't we just go and smash their stall!"
Shopkeeper He opened the window and looked coldly at the stall downstairs that was doing a booming business. He recognized several of Jin Ji's regular customers.
One was a servant in Mr. Zhao's family, and the other was a cook in Mr. Chen's family.
It is not a wise move to destroy the stall now.
…
Three hundred pancakes were sold out in less than half an hour, and even Su Ergou's portion of the eating show was bought by someone.
There was no way out. The child was crying loudly, and Su Ergou felt soft-hearted and sold the child.
"Sis, where are we going now?"
"Go back to the village."
"ah?"
"What? Liu Ping went to deliver the goods to the market and the academy."
She told Liu Ping to go back to the village directly after dropping them off and not to come pick them up, but judging by the speed at which they were selling snacks, they would probably go back earlier than Liu Ping.
"Hey! I forgot about Brother Liu Ping." Su Ergou scratched his head.
The brother and sister packed up their stall, put on their backpacks, and walked back on foot.
This distance was nothing for the two of them, especially after losing 20 kilograms of fat, Su Xiaoxiao felt that her body had become a lot lighter.
When the two men left the town and approached the road to the village, a group of burly men chased after them with ferocious looks.
"The person in front, stop right there!"
