On the morning of the next day, Su Ruyi cut off the upper part of the soft leaves from the cleaned cabbage leaves. The big ones can be cut into three or four pieces, and the small ones into two or three pieces. They are stacked neatly. The pumpkin cake is not big, so One leaf will do.
The remaining cabbage buns are also cut into appropriate sizes for the egg pancakes. Many egg pancake sellers like to eat the buns, and the crispiness of the cabbage pancakes goes well with the softness of the egg pancakes.
Everything was ready, and the things were loaded into the car, including a large pot full of pumpkin pie that was fried last night. A small slope emerged directly from the pot and was covered with clean gauze. Although it was not as good as the pumpkin pie last night. The fragrance is so strong when I drink it, but it is also so fragrant that it makes people feel uneasy.
Su Ruyi saw Li Baozhu carrying two empty buckets at a glance. She was stunned for a moment and asked, "Didn't you carry water from home?"
"No!"
Liu Cuier said happily: "Baozhu and I have found a well in the town. As long as we bring our own buckets, we can go and fetch at will. It doesn't cost any money. It also saves water for our family. It's very convenient!"
Su Ruyi frowned slightly. Seeing her like this, Liu Cuier and Li Baozhu became a little nervous: "Ruyi, isn't it right for us to do this?"
"I told you before to bring ingredients from home..."
Li Baozhu hurriedly explained: "It's my fault. Last time I went to carry water, I accidentally knocked over two buckets of water. Then we went to the town to look for water wells. Ruyi, if you think it's not good, we will still go there from now on." Go fetch water from home!”
Liu Cui'er: "...well, let's fetch water from home."
She felt a little baffled. Wouldn't it be better to put in less effort? Why bother?
But Su Ruyi is the head of the family, and she should do whatever she says.
Su Ruyi thought about it, and it was also troublesome and tearful to pick up two and a half buckets of water from home every day.
"Did the people who bought the cake say anything after you changed the water?"
Liu Cuier was surprised: "No, everyone who comes to our house to buy cakes says that our cakes are delicious!"
Su Ruyi nodded, "Then fetch water in the town, but you must remember that other things, such as cucumbers and cabbages, must be brought from home. This rule cannot be changed."
"Okay, we know this, and we will definitely listen to you!"
Children are allowed to go with them to the town today, but the adults are busy and cannot keep an eye on every child, so today Da Lang will take the youngest Xing'er, and tomorrow Niu'er will take Zhuang'er. Children stare at the younger ones, and adults basically don’t have to worry.
As for Dan'er, let's not consider him for the time being.
Zhang didn't plan to go there either, so he just made shoes at home.
In fact, after the autumn harvest in previous years, the family would not be idle. Thinking of ways to prepare more supplies for the winter, the women would go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, pick up some mountain fungi, or bring back more firewood, and sell what they could. Those that cannot be sold, such as bitter wild vegetables, are dried at home and kept for winter.
Making shoes and clothes is a winter job. At that time, if you stayed in the house all day long, what would you do if you didn't make clothes and shoes?
Mrs. Zhang is not lazy just because her family is rich. The truth is - the yellow dog barking with the fool is no match for anything now. If she is not at home to watch, others will come in and rummage through her house and her house will be ruined.
When the doctor and the others didn't come today, Lu Duotian also came to the yard and concentrated on weaving his own basket.
Since the dummy was highly recognized by Hu Langzhong, his confidence has greatly increased, and he feels that no matter how difficult the knitting is, it will not be difficult for him.
Mrs. Zhang pulled the thread, making a "swish" sound, and glanced at her eldest son.
It is true to say that people feel refreshed during happy events. My son has gained weight all of a sudden, his cheeks are fuller, his eyes are full of energy, and he looks like a decent person with his undistracted look.
He seems to be a completely different person than he was a month or two ago.
As for his broken bones, even Hu Langzhong said that they recovered quickly and are basically fine now.
Mrs. Zhang looked away, flicked the thread hard in her hand, and then injected another needle.
There is food at home, and I don’t know how much money is hidden. There are new items coming in every day, and the vegetables for the winter are being dried little by little.
This day was so comfortable that it made her feel like she was in a dream.
When Su Ruyi and the other five arrived at the gate of the town, they found that the water seller there had changed. Now it was a woman of the same age as Zhang.
Su Ruyi asked the two sisters-in-law strangely: "Where is the old man who sold water before?"
"Ahem, didn't I tell you that someone also sells egg pancakes? It's the one who sold water before! Now this woman is his wife! What a wonderful idea, the whole family can earn twice as much!"
"oh?"
Su Ruyi became interested, and it turned out that it was him. She didn't compete with him for the business of selling water, but he competed with her for the business of selling pancakes.
Let's see if he can sell it.
Living in the town still has advantages. As soon as they entered the market, they saw the old man who used to sell water occupying their usual spot. He was already firing and selling at the top of his voice.
Liu Cuier's face suddenly darkened, while Li Baozhu was a little flustered.
"Ruyi, look at this person! He clearly knows that this position has always been ours, but he still grabs it from us!"
Su Ruyi patted Liu Cuier's arm: "Sister-in-law, go find another one."
Liu Cuier also knew that arguing with the old man now would be fruitless, so she glared angrily over there and pulled Li Baozhu and the two children to find a seat in a hurry.
After the autumn harvest, the market in the town became obviously lively. The income in the past few days has exceeded 400 and is heading towards 500.
There were many stalls selling things, and those who came early took up all the good seats.
Su Ruyi stopped in front of the old man's stall. The busy old man glanced at her and said, "This is not your stall. Your name is not written on it. If I am to blame, I blame you for coming late!"
Su Ruyi smiled: "The old man is right, if you don't take it, others will take it too. We are not angry. How is the old man's business these days?"
The old man was very wary and hostile towards her, and made pancakes with a blank expression on his face without answering.
Su Ruyi simply said that the old man had copied everything he had made at home. The pots, stoves, cars, etc. were all replicas, and the techniques for making pancakes were also the same.
What made her eyes light up was that the old man also prepared vegetable leaves, but they were not cabbage, but lettuce.
I have always wanted to do this in space, but I didn't find the seeds. I didn't expect to see them here.
"Selling egg pancakes—five cents a warm egg pancake—"
The old man suddenly shouted loudly, and then gave Su Ruyi a cold look: "If you don't want to buy it, don't block other people in front of my stall."
