Chapter 86 Snow Sweeping
"Miao Miao, what should I do?"
Gu Yuanniang looked at the woman standing at the door and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Xu Miaomiao said while busy rolling noodles: "It doesn't matter. If it snows heavily in two days, I don't believe she will stay there."
"Um."
The winter is bleak, and the cold snow falls with the north wind.
The woman at the door was shivering with cold. Finally, she couldn't help but curse under her breath, then turned and left.
"The person has left?"
Gu Yuan's mother took Erbao and Xiaobao to ask, because they had been taking them to school through the back door these days, taking a detour through many places.
"Let's go. Let's send you off through the main gate today." Xu Miaomiao cleaned the carriage and called for Gu Yuan's mother to come up.
"Ahhh—"
A sneeze caught Xu Miaomiao's attention. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Song Wushao wearing a thin robe that looked quite old. Xu Miaomiao felt sad and immediately packed her things to send Erbao and Xiaobao to school. She could also buy some cotton clothes for Song Wushao on the way.
Erbao dozed off in the swaying carriage. He was awakened by the carriage that suddenly stopped. "Mom, what's wrong?"
Seeing the carriage stopped there, Xu Miaomiao immediately went down to check.
The originally narrow road was covered with thick snow, and everyone gathered in front of the road, not knowing how to get through.
"Madam Xu, are you going down the mountain?"
Xu Miaomiao nodded: "The child still has to go to school."
"That's really unfortunate." Village Chief Wang said, "This road was fine yesterday, but it snowed heavily last night, so it's unpassable today. If you force your way through, you'll probably fall."
Xu Miaomiao nodded and thought for a while, then looked at the crowd gathered around and said, "Everyone, why don't we work together to sweep the snow together."
"Sweeping the snow?" Wu Zhuang's wife asked curiously and looked at Xu Miaomiao in confusion.
"Yes." Xu Miaomiao said, "Wouldn't it be more convenient if we sweep the snow aside and pile it up to make way for a path?"
"Yes!" Village Chief Wang suddenly realized: "If we can sweep away the snow, we can go down the mountain without having to wait for the snow to clear before we can go down."
"Yeah, yeah." The man next to him echoed, "Why didn't I think of that before? I'll go get the broom."
As they were about to go home to get the tools, Xu Miaomiao immediately stopped them and said, "It's inconvenient to go home, go to my house and get them."
Shouting at everyone to go to the yard to get the tool.
"Miao Miao, aren't you going to school today?" Gu Yuanniang lifted the curtain and looked at Xu Miaomiao and asked.
"Yes." Xu Miaomiao nodded: "It's snowing heavily today and the road is blocked. Let's clear the snow first."
"good."
Gu Yuanniang turned the carriage around and headed home.
As soon as they got the tools, everyone started to push the snow up without stopping.
Xiaobao pinched the snowflakes curiously, and wearing the gloves made by Xu Miaomiao, he grabbed a ball of snow and threw it at Erbao. The two of them had a lot of fun.
"Let's pile all the snow in the south, it will melt faster that way."
As soon as Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, everyone nodded and responded by pushing the snow up.
Soon the snowflakes next to it piled up into a small hill, and the road that was originally filled with snow was cleared.
"Oh, now we can go down the mountain." Village chief Wang said happily.
Xu Miaomiao smiled and handed her tools to Gu Yuanniang: "Sixth Mother, take them back."
"Miao Miao, what about you?"
"I'll go down the hill and look in the shop."
Gu Yuanniang nodded and took the tools handed over by Xu Miaomiao: "Then you should be careful."
Xu Miaomiao nodded lightly and turned to leave.
The bustle of the market is very different from the desolation in the mountains. There are crowds of people coming and going, and quite a few people gather in the department store.
"Sister Xu."
As soon as Lan Yin saw Xu Miaomiao, she immediately rushed forward and hugged her.
"Lan Yin, didn't you go to school today?"
Lan Yin shook her head: "It's snowing today, so the teacher asked us to finish class early."
"oh."
"Sister Xu, are you here to check the accounts?" Xuguo asked from the side.
Xu Miaomiao shook her head: "I am always at ease with your work, how are you doing recently?"
"It's all fine, but we've almost sold out the Lion Cake and portable pastries."
"Yeah." Xu Miaomiao nodded and looked at the sky. It was already difficult to make things in the heavy snow, and it would only be more troublesome if she did it herself.
"Oh, Madam Xu has finally waited for you."
The man next to her saw Xu Miaomiao and happily went forward to hold her.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Li Eryuan. You once bought sweet-scented osmanthus cake from my house."
"Oh, it's Shopkeeper Li." Xu Miaomiao suddenly realized that the sweet-scented osmanthus cake of this shop tasted unique: "Your cakes are very sweet. I can't forget them after eating them."
"Haha." The man laughed, "It's all thanks to Madam Xu's appreciation. I can't forget your Awakening Lion Pastry. I came here specially to buy some today."
"What a coincidence, there is no Xingshisu." Xuguo responded from the side.
The man looked at Xu Miaomiao with some surprise.
Xu Miaomiao said awkwardly: "There are so many people buying, and our small workshop can't supply them all."
As he spoke, the man opposite him also sighed in disappointment, muttered "What a pity" and turned to leave.
"Shopkeeper Li, are you willing to cooperate with me?"
Xu Miaomiao spoke up.
"Cooperation?" The man turned around happily and looked at Xu Miaomiao and asked, "What does Madam Xu mean?"
"I'll come up with the recipe, Manager Li will be responsible for the production, and then we'll process it together. What do you think?" Xu Miaomiao asked.
The man immediately got angry when he heard this and pulled Xu Miaomiao to ask, "Is what Madam Xu said true?"
Xu Miaomiao nodded. She had eaten osmanthus cake before. It had a sweet and soft texture and did not seem like a scam. If the two companies could cooperate, it would be a very cost-effective deal.
"Okay." Li Eryuan made the final decision and looked at Xu Miaomiao: "Madam Xu trusts me so much, I will definitely live up to your trust. After the matter is done, how about you take 60% and I take 40%?"
The man's tone was a little tentative. After a long while, Xu Miaomiao said, "Fifty-fifty."
"Madam Xu, you..."
"Shopkeeper Li trusts me, so I naturally cannot let you down. However, I will have to rely on you for the purchase of goods for my department store in the future."
"Hahaha, Madam Xu, you're too polite."
The two discussed it and signed the document immediately, and Xu Miaomiao handed the method of making the Lion Awakening Pastry to the man.
Li Eryuan bowed in thanks, carefully put away the prescription and turned to leave.
"Now we don't have to worry about running out of supply. Sister Xu is really smart." Lan Yin said jokingly.
Xu Miaomiao looked at the sky, hurried out and said to Lan Yinxuguo behind her: "I have something important to do, so I'll leave first. Take care of yourselves."
Xu Miaomiao hurried to the tailor shop and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was not closed.
"Boss, do you have any cotton-padded clothes ready?"
"No more." The boss shook his head: "Only the fabric has to be sewn by yourself."
