Fields of Gold

Chapter 213 Ice Water

The cold powder business at the pier kept the grass busy for a few days. For the past few days, she got up just before dawn, chasing Xiaolian to the donkey cart, with Liu's help to make the first pot of cold powder, and wandered out. Take a nap on the donkey cart, and when you get to the pier, you can keep cooking chili oil, seasoning, then mixing noodles, noodles, boiling noodles… and welcome the first guests.

In the summer, other shops selling food come in the off-season. Yet Miss Yu's cold powder shop is as steaming as the heat. It's not that no one comes to detect the powder, it's hard to ask for the ingredients.

As a result, the little grass sisters tightly covered the basket containing sea cabbage. It is also specially separated in a noodle stall as a storage room. You come to the shop for cold powder, yes! You can't go to someone's vault! On the pot where sea cabbage is cooked, it is covered with a thick covering to prevent people from stealing it away and to speed up the cooking.

This summer, for whatever reason, sea cabbage has been pouring out to shore every day after the tide has receded. The grass couldn't help but wonder if there was an oscillation at the bottom of the ocean that broke apart the seaweed that grew at the bottom of the ocean before floating along the tide to shore. Those who want to probe the cold powder formula, never expect the sea grass to be everywhere by the sea, is to make the cold powder formula.

After a few days, the business finally stabilized. However, this business needs to be cooked and seasoned and served to the Guest. Xiaolian is definitely too busy alone. And Grass's godfather, more than once, searched for her privately, allowing her time to take care of her godmother.

The last time I went to town, after confirming that the wife was pregnant, the house town was like treating phoenix eggs, holding a offering, I can't wait to spend 12 hours a day with my daughter-in-law, afraid she would trip. Recently, a big man came to visit the port. He couldn't get away and had to ask his daughter for help. Her daughter is a good doctor, and she is good at adjusting medicine meals. She can rest assured that she will follow him.

Little grass pooped on the pier and sent a letter to the elder aunt who was at home, asking her to partner with Xiaolian in this business. Although cold noodles are small business, the cost is eliminated in one day, the two families can split at least one silver or two, and the price is 30 taels a month. Almost no one on the dock can do more business than their house.

My aunt came the next day with her little girl. Her eldest daughter, Liu Feifeng, has been married for almost 17 years. She intends to marry her at the end of this year. She must marry at home! The Han family intends to divide fifty taels of silver to help Little Grass look at the store and give it all to her daughter to accompany her. After all, the eldest daughter also went to help.

The second daughter, Liu Feiying Ying, is 14 years old, just said a affair, the Han family heard Xiaograss said that it was not necessarily a good thing for a girl to marry early, so she told her future family that she would keep her daughter until she was 16 or 7 years old, and then marry her.

The family also agreed. No, the Liu brothers followed their brother-in-law to sell watermelons and made a lot of money. There is nothing unknown about Xishan Village. Boss Liu did not have a son, and the money he earned bought a shop for his daughters in the newly built port. My eldest daughter prepared fifty taels of silver for dowry alone. Such a large pen, let alone Xishan Village, is the nearby village of ten miles and eight villages. I have never seen anyone so deserving to marry their daughter. So he came to the door and said that he was going to step on the threshold of the Liu family.

Pick and choose, the Han family chose a family in the suburbs of the town for the second daughter. It is a rare rich family to leave it in Xishan Village. There are more than 30 acres of good land in the family, the population is relatively simple, the old two are famous good temper, a brother has married a wife and children, waiting for this young son to marry, the old two are ready to let them split the family, the fields and family estate are divided equally, the old two follow the boss, the old man can give some old rice grain for two months. That's why, even though the family members are not the largest of the family members, the Han family chose this family for their second daughter.

The Liu family was on the rise all the way. Not only Han's second daughter, but even her youngest daughter, who was just 12 years old, came to the house to kiss her. The Han family came to think that her little girl was young and wanted to make her play for two more years in pain and happiness. Second, she felt that her family only had to work with her little aunt's family for another two years. That was never the case at home, so there might be more opportunities to choose from in the future.

Boss Liu and the Han family couldn't afford it. As the watermelon just got off the market, Liu Pei ran to the pier again to carry his strength. Brother Six once found him and asked him if he wanted to be a regular employee. Liu Pei, thinking about selling watermelons at the end of each spring, refused Liu's kindness. Temporary workers are at the pier, not waiting to live every day. However, in the face of weed, Brother Six is assigned work every day, even the wages are paid according to the standard of formal work.

The Hans spent some time at home thinking about doing business and spending a little money. Before she could make a decision, her own man brought her the good news.

“Grass, did your uncle say you made a new meal? Say you two are busy, let me help you. If you need anything from my aunt, say it!” The Hans never suspected this little niece of eating.

The Han family is used to cooking at home, and she can hardly live with noodles and noodles. Little grass gave her the cold noodles. As for her little cousin Liu Feiyan, she was as handsome as her mother, and she worked hard. Little grass lets her help the Guest with cold powder, cold noodles. In this way, Xiaolian can just look at making the cold powder and season the cold powder and noodles!

The Han family and Liu Feiyan are both good hands to work with. After the initial hand and foot mess, they started to work quickly.

“Hey, how's it going? You two didn't help, did you?” After loading a boat of cargo, Liu Pei, with his great nephew Liu Zhiwei, swept the sweat with his coat and walked over. Liu Zhiwei is also now an employee of Brother Liu.

The Han family salvaged the cooked noodles into the ice water, and didn't forget to turn a white eye. “Do you think our mothers usually eat for nothing? Can you beat me for noodles? ”

Liu Feiyan poured two bowls of chilled boiling water, one bowl for each of Dad and cousin, and smiled mysteriously: "Dad, drink the bowl to quench your thirst! ”

Liu Pei had been thirsty for a long time and smoked his throat. He then took a big sip of "Coop”. A cool feeling goes straight to the heart of your lungs, which is more addictive than drinking cool well water together.

After sipping the ice water, Liu Pei-chang took a long breath and shouted soberly. “Younger girl, give Daddy another bowl! Grass, where did you get this cold well water? ”

Liu Feiyan loaded another bowl and grabbed it: “Dad, my cousin is amazing. In the summer, it turns out to be ice. This ice water was frozen with ice cubes! ”

“Big summer, where's the ice? Is it true that Little Grass Girl is a fairy who's turned into ice?” Hao carried the heat, sat his ass under the cold shed, picked up the fan in the store and fanned the wind hard. Smell, jokingly insert a sentence.

Little grass poured him a bowl of ice water, with two ice cubes floating on it. The big cylinder on the noodle stand became her specialty ice maker. Both cold noodles and powder are frozen with ice cubes, making them cooler and cooler.

Old Hao opened his eyes and stared dead at the pigeon's egg-sized ice, then fished it up with his hand and looked at it for a while, shoved it in his mouth and chewed it "clicking" and shouted addiction!

Other people who came to wait for dinner also asked for a bowl of ice water. Xiaolian tweaked the cold powder and laughed: “We'll have a barrel of ice in total. If you eat all of it, the cold powder and the cold noodles will have no ice water to freeze. Do you want warm powder and noodles? ”

Rumor has it, the simple dock workers laughed and dismissed the idea. Some of the eyes are relatively lively, he shouted: “Xiaolian, know that this ice water is not easy to come by, we don't drink yours for nothing, a bowl of ice water for a penny, what do you think? ”

When someone sends money to the door, it's not possible to push it out. Sniffing the ice grass inside, he hurried out: "Now that the uncles are talking about it, if we push it again, it would be too unpleasant! All right, we'll add a deal in the future - selling ice water! ”

Xiaolian asked with some concern, "Little sister, it's not easy to make ice, we don't have enough people, can you come here?” She means, with just one cylinder, can the ice be supplied?

Little Grass laughed out loud: "If it's convenient for everyone, we'll be busy! Don't worry, just make more ice every day! ”

Little grass means, tomorrow, let Daddy expand the noodle stall, get a decent storage room, and get two more large cylinders, as long as the ratio of nitrous stone to water is adjusted, put water in an iron barrel, no trouble.

However, water consumption is bound to increase dramatically in the future, and it is inconvenient that water must be pulled into nearby villages. But with money, they can push ghosts, and they can hire people to carry water! A few pennies and a truckload of water. Someone's willing to do this!

The business of the rest of the sisters became more popular with the addition of ice-water sales services. On a hot day, sweating, drinking a bowl of cool ice water, definitely quenching thirst and quenching the heat! When the heat is over, your appetite will be up. Have a bowl of cold noodles or powder. Don't mention how cool it is!

With my great-aunt and little cousin as helpers, Little Grass can naturally free her hands to take care of her pregnant mother-in-law. There are plenty of trees on the mountain and the living environment is quite cool. Nor does the lady have the delicacy of being pregnant. She walks in the woods every morning and night as usual and admires the view and everything.

Mrs. Fang sat steadily on the fetus, and Grass took her pulse every day, feeling that proper activities were necessary as long as she did not do any manual work for the first three months. Nutritionally, grass changes every day to make delicious food for dry mothers. Faced with the natural scenery of the western mountains every day, and accompanied by a filial dry daughter, besides not being able to smell the smell of seafood, there is nothing harmful about the relaxed housewife.

Little Grass said, “My little brother must be a filial companion, knowing that Godmother is pregnant and struggling to tease you. ”

The lady used her index finger to light the little girl's head, touching her growing belly, revealing the glow of motherhood.
