What I thought was a very simple thing seemed to become a little difficult at this moment.
Fortunately, someone came over to them and asked them what they were selling.
"Little boy, what are you selling? It smells delicious."
They quickly opened it, cut a piece into many small pieces, and used a toothpick to pick a piece for the big sister in front of them. "Big sister, we sell date cakes. Do you want to try some?"
They actually don’t have much confidence, fearing that people won’t want to buy after trying it.
After tasting it, the other party found the soft pastry with the aroma of red dates, sweet but not greasy. "It tastes very good. How much is it? Can I have some?"
"Sure, sure. Our price is 20 cents a piece. Look, this one is really big, and it has lots of red dates and sugar in it. 30 cents will buy you two."
It was their first time doing business and they didn't know the prices, but they knew that meat buns were 30 cents each, so their red date cakes should be 20 cents too, right?
The older sister looked at the two of them working hard to say that their pastries were delicious, and spoke with a smile.
"Sure, the price is fair. Give me one dollar and I'll make it 20 cents. I can't let you two kids get away with anything."
The taste is really good, and she plans to buy some back for her family to try.
The two of them quickly packed the date cakes and gave her seven.
"Why did you give me so many? It doesn't seem right. It should be five."
The elder sister was very confused when she saw two more people.
Song Feifei smiled and said, "Sister, you are our first customer. It's a good start, so we should give you what we promised."
Hearing Fei Fei say this, the elder sister was very happy, "Little boy, you are really good at talking. Wait for me here for a moment."
Not long after, the older sister brought several friends and bought both of their date cakes.
They said they were going to buy some to visit relatives, and they made six dollars for two.
Looking at the six dollars, they almost cried. It was not easy. Nuannuan also came over and saw that the two of them had sold out. She gave them a thumbs up and said, "Great, you two are great."
Nuannuan just came over and has been watching their performance.
The two were even happier. They told their sister, "Sister, let's go out for hot and sour noodles at noon today. Can we treat you? We'll just have beef noodles."
A bowl of beef noodles costs 70 cents.
Today is the first time they make money, so they must treat my sister to beef noodles.
"No need. Didn't your sister bring you lunch today? We'll eat at school at noon and then go back to eat in the afternoon. Do you want to leave Jiajia behind?"
Nuannuan also brought them some food today. Today's meal was scrambled eggs with tomatoes and some stir-fried peppers.
"Okay," they then remembered that Jia Jia would not be able to come out until the afternoon.
In the afternoon, the two of them took Nuannuan and Jiajia to eat beef noodles, and then went home happily. When they got home, they quickly gave all the remaining money to Nuannuan.
“Sister, this is the money we earned today.”
Nuannuan looked at the money, a little confused, "You earned this money yourself, why are you giving it to me?"
They both knew very well that they didn't just earn that much, "Sister, first of all, the flour and red dates are all capital.
Second, we both want to spend the money recklessly. This is the first money we have earned in our lives and it means a lot to us. Sister, please help us save it.
Third, we must give the money we earn to our sister, because you are our eldest sister."
Anyway, it’s enough for my sister to know the meaning, so they don’t explain too much. They believe that my sister can understand it.
To put it more bluntly, they didn't make much money today.
Nuan Nuan suddenly felt that the money was a bit heavy. "Okay, then I'll put it away for you. When our new house is built, I'll ask the village carpenter to make a piggy bank for each of you, and you can put all your money in it.
Let's see how much you can save each year, okay?"
They thought this was a great idea and nodded happily, "Okay."
They came back after dinner, so it was a little late. By the time they finished their homework, it was almost dark. Nuannuan asked them to go to bed early. At this time, the village chief came.
The village chief came here to repair the house, and the work will start tomorrow.
"Nuannuan, work starts tomorrow, you and Feifei Chengcheng both need to be at home."
Nuan Nuan also remembered this matter. She had actually forgotten about it and hadn't even asked for leave. "Grandpa Village Chief, I know. I'll ask for leave tomorrow morning and come back."
The village chief shook his head and said, "That's not possible. You have to stay at home."
"No, you can't go out tomorrow. You have to stay here. There are many things to pay attention to, from the time of starting work to the placement of things.
How about this, I'll ask the other children to ask for leave for you siblings. Besides, the villagers are planning to plant some Chinese medicinal herbs, so let's discuss this matter with Nuannuan tomorrow?"
This is the second thing the village chief has come here for.
"Sure, Grandpa Village Chief."
Hearing Nuannuan's agreement, the village chief felt relieved and quickly stood up and prepared to go back. As he was old, he should go to bed early.
"Then I'll go back first. We'll come over tomorrow morning. You don't have to make breakfast tomorrow. Just follow our instructions."
Nuannuan and the three said they understood.
After the village chief left, they were all a little excited. It seemed that they could live in a new house?
Nuannuan was very happy to see them chirping, but she also had to let them go to bed early.
"Okay, go to bed early so we can get up early tomorrow."
——
The village chief went to the town in person early in the morning to ask for leave for the siblings. When several people ask for leave together, they always have to explain the reason.
Then the village chief went to buy what he needed and quickly returned to the village.
Nuannuan's family wanted to build a house, and the villager Fu came to help, and he wanted to thank Nuannuan.
Everyone came to help, so Nuannuan and the others naturally couldn't be stingy, so they asked other uncles to buy a lot of meat and vegetables and invited everyone to have a meal together.
Who knows what they said, buy whatever you want and bring your own.
They all knew that Nuannuan would teach them all how to grow Chinese medicine.
With the help of three grandfathers in the village, the temple was consecrated at an auspicious time and construction began.
After the construction started, everyone had dinner together.
After packing up in the afternoon, everyone went home, and then the construction team started working, and it would be completed in one and a half months.
Building houses was really quick back then.
The village chief also brought other elders to look for Nuannuan. Nuannuan took her father's notebook and the booklet and went to the village committee house with them.
There are also desks inside.
The village chief told them that today Nuannuan would tell them the most basic things, the herbs suitable for their village, and what they would do next.
Nuan Nuan came over with a booklet. "Hello, uncles and grandpas. I'm Nuan Nuan. Today, let me introduce you to the big mountain behind our village."
