Seeing that he couldn't break free from Chen Zhen's restraints, He Sixuan lowered his head and used his newly grown teeth to bite Chen Zhen's face.
Chen Zhen felt a little itchy from his biting, and she completely woke up. Then she hugged He Sixuan and sat up, patted his butt and said, "Why are you awake so early?"
When He Sixuan saw Chen Zhen woke up, he pointed out the window and said "ah" twice, indicating that he wanted to go out.
Seeing this, Chen Zhen got up and changed his clothes. Today they planned to go to the town party. Chen Zhen seriously suspected that when the family was discussing this matter yesterday, the two kids understood it, so they woke up so early today.
On the other side, after He Siyi was held in He Jinshu's arms, he first kissed He Jinshu on the face, and then found a comfortable position in his arms, playing with his hands and feet or staring at the roof in a daze, waiting for He Jinshu to wake up.
After He Jinshu came to his senses, he looked at his eldest son's well-behaved appearance, kissed him, then picked him up, changed his clothes and washed him.
After everything was cleaned up, Chen Chen and He Jinshu carried the two children to the main hall to have breakfast.
The whole family got up very early today because after dinner they were going to go to the market to see what was happening.
The gathering on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year is held every year. In the past, it was a place where people often exchanged items. Later, it evolved into a gathering where people could buy things with money or exchange items for goods.
On this day, many people from all over the place will come here to sell food and daily necessities, or some handicrafts. There will also be some people performing juggling or street art.
There are many large and small gatherings throughout the year, but apart from the Lantern Festival, the gathering on the sixth day of the New Year is the most lively time in the town.
After the family finished breakfast, they packed up and prepared to leave.
Now that the workshop has not started yet, Chen Chen asked the servants to leave the guards at home and in the workshop, and give the others a day off to go out and play in the town. In the future, when there are festivals, they can take turns guarding.
After going out, he saw many people from Wujia Village riding in ox carts to the market, and Chen Chen even greeted them.
After arriving in the town, Chen Chen asked Wen Feng to park the carriage at the house in the town. After that, he could go and play by himself and just come to pick them up at the end of the afternoon.
Afterwards, Li Mo was responsible for taking care of Grandpa He and Grandma He's safety, while Chen Chen and He Jinshu were responsible for taking care of the safety of the two children.
There were a lot of people here today, and even more people were selling things. Chen Zhen saw some well-made handicrafts and bought them for his two sons to play with.
In addition to the toys, there were also some new and novel foods, which Chen Zhen bought when he saw them.
"Ah Shu, this sugar cake tastes good. Their sugar cakes are only sold here during gatherings. When I was a child, my mother often bought their sugar cakes for me. You should try it too." Chen Chen asked the boss to pack a few sugar cakes and handed one to He Jinshu.
The boss beside him smiled and said, "Brother Zhen, is this your child?"
"Yes, twins." Chen Chen answered with a smile after He Jinshu took the cake.
"No wonder I didn't see you at the party last year. It turns out you have a baby now. Congratulations. You don't have to pay for the sweets and cakes today. Consider it my treat for you and the children." The boss said frankly after hearing this.
After hearing this, Chen Zhen disagreed and said, "No, you are doing business, I can't take it for free." As he said this, he was about to take out copper coins from his purse to pay. The sugar cakes were 3 cents each, and he had just ordered 15 of them, so he had to pay 45 cents.
Seeing this, the boss stopped him and said, "Don't be so polite to me. If it weren't for you, my business wouldn't have gotten off the ground. Giving the kids a few candies is no big deal."
When the boss first started this sugar cake business, his family was poor and he was reluctant to use oil, so when he first made the sugar cake, he only used a little oil to fry it and then sold it to customers.
Although the sugar cake tasted good, it didn't have the crispness that we have now. Chen Chen was only six or seven years old at the time. After trying his sugar cake, he said casually, "Your sugar cake tastes pretty good. If you use hot dough and fry it in oil, it will be even better."
Mother Shen was next to him at the time, and when she heard what he said, she said to the boss apologetically: “I’m sorry, boss, my son was just joking, don’t take it seriously.”
In fact, Chen Zhen had already shown a certain talent in cooking at that time. When the family was busy with farming and sometimes couldn't take care of it, Chen Zhen would stand on a small stool and cook on the stove by himself. The food he cooked tasted better than that of his mother. Therefore, although his mother didn't know what Chen Zhen's suggestion was, she still felt that it should make sense.
However, just because she felt this way didn't mean others would feel the same way, not to mention that he was only a six or seven-year-old child. Maybe others would think he was finding fault, so Mother Shen said those words to the boss with a slightly apologetic tone.
Unexpectedly, the boss was not angry at all. He even humbly asked Chen Zhen for his suggestion, because he also felt that although his own sugar cakes tasted good, they still felt that something was missing.
Chen Zhen didn't hide his thoughts at the time and told his boss his thoughts, and advised him: "Don't be reluctant to spend money because you think the oil is expensive. In fact, frying it doesn't take much oil, but it can make the sugar cake crispy and delicious.
If you think frying is too expensive, you can raise the price a bit. As long as the food tastes good, people will still buy it even if the price is higher."
The boss listened to Chen Zhen's words and made subsequent improvements. After that, his sugar cake business never failed whenever there was a market.
