For the next three months, Liu Xin stayed in Dezhu City and bought a small courtyard in the city, a very small one, with five cabins and a small vegetable garden in the backyard.
This kind of courtyard is the average condition for a middle-class family in Nanyuan Kingdom. The ones closer to the market will be more expensive and vice versa.
After buying the yard, Liu Xin moved in with her two younger brothers and mother. And his father Liu Dagen also followed.
There was an episode, that is, a few gangsters wanted to come to Qiufeng, and under the banner of "catching escaped slaves", they wanted to spread the story of the Liu family's selling of girls, which everyone in Nigou Street knew. He made up his mind to say that Liu Xin was a runaway slave, and then became violent.
Needless to say, the result was that a few gangsters ran out like crazy for no apparent reason. Then they each took out the daggers at their waists and stabbed each other in the crowded street. In the end, they all fell to death in a pool of blood. .
This scene is not small, not to mention that these bastards have something to rely on if they dare to attack Liu Xin. They called a few warriors. It is said that they are some "Kui Ye" from these streets. In the end, they are just a small character in the Kaiyuan realm. Liu Xin's soul-soothing voice directly sent Mr. Kui to the street to fight with those gangsters. Also dead.
It was thrilling outside, but the Liu family quietly said goodbye to Nigou Street after everyone's attention was drawn away.
"Mom, didn't you say that you are the best at making pancakes? You also said that it was your grandmother who taught you this unique skill, right?"
"That's not the case! My dear, it's not your mother's fault. The cakes made by my mother are much more delicious than those at a few stalls in the city!" Shen Hong's body was already in good shape, especially after she ate another one later. After Liu Xin gave her the elixir, she felt even more healthy, as if she was as young as a teenager.
After taking the Biqing Pill, Shen Hong's life span was increased by ten years, and some of the loss of vitality caused by the old illness was now fully replenished by Shen Hong.
Today, Shen Hong is no different from a normal person. She even has better physical and mental strength than other people her age.
Liu Xin smiled, led Shen Hong to the kitchen, pointed to the utensils and ingredients on the stove, and said to Shen Hong: "Mom, here are the things you mentioned, you give it a try , see if you can survive if you get started?"
"What? Is my daughter greedy? Okay! Mom will show you her skills today!" Shen Hong didn't think much, stepped forward and started to clean up. She is a farm girl, what kind of housework can she not do? He was just sick before, but now his health is better than before, and his hands and feet are even more agile. In a short time, he has sorted out all the things and officially started making pancakes.
When the pancakes came out of the pan, Shen Hong helped roll in some special sauces and fillings. When it was finally handed to Liu Xin, it looked like a rolled cylinder. Although it looks a bit rough, you can tell by the smell that this thing must be delicious.
It smells so good!
Even Liu Xin once worked in the royal kitchen of the palace, and she had eaten some of the leftover delicacies, but the taste was not necessarily as good as the pancake in her hand.
While Liu Xin was eating, Shen Hong had already begun to bake one for Liu San who was following him.
As Liu Xin ate the pancake in her hand, she felt that the pancake and the fillings were enough for her to have a full meal. And it tastes really good. So he said, "Mom, this cake needs to be given an easy-to-remember name."
"Hey, your kid is just a cake. What's your name? Besides, my mother doesn't even know the words, so how can I name her?" Shen Hong felt that her daughter was talking very interestingly now. Every word and deed is quite orderly, and I secretly don't know which gentleman can actually raise Liu Xin so well. Even though she was a lady, no one said no.
Liu Xin didn't know what Shen Hong was thinking. She had her own plans, otherwise how could she do this for no reason? Do you really think you are greedy?
"Mom, your craftsmanship is so good. You can spread out a pancake very quickly. It only takes half a cup of tea to make one. Moreover, there are enough fillings and good taste. My appetite will be full with just one pancake. If For people like Liu San or Liu Er who can eat well, one of the two of them should be 70-80% full.
You said that if you set up a stall to sell this kind of pancake, and sell it with some rice porridge and Mihu Lake, would you be able to support your family? "
"Ah?!" Shen Hong was dumbfounded. I have been a miserable person for half my life and am used to being poor. How could I have imagined that one day I would be able to make a living using my skills?
"Mom, just tell me, do you believe that many people will buy the pancakes you make?"
"This..." Shen Hong put down what she was doing and walked back and forth in the kitchen, feeling out of ideas for a while. She had never planned for herself this way.
"Daughter, you have seen the world now, and I will listen to you!"
"Haha, okay then, mother, you start practicing your skills. You have to put a lot of effort into the fillings and prepare enough, and the preparation should be kept secret. You only need to know. In addition, you should also think about how many noodles to prepare... ..”
After Liu Xin explained everything, Shen Hong could only nod her head, but at the same time she was serious and anxious. Liu Xin was asked to talk about some parts several times, and only after making sure that he had not forgotten them would he continue.
For several days, Shen Hong's craftsmanship was perfect, and all preparations for setting up the stall were complete.
"Daughter, what's the name of this cake?"
"It's called Mrs. Shen's cake and fruit." Liu Xin said with a smile and handed an embroidered flag to Shen Hong. Just insert a bamboo pole and it can be erected as a signboard.
The entire Liu family was busy. The two boys, including Liu Dagen, were busy with the cake stall. If this stall is doing well, Liu Dagen will definitely earn much more than if he went to the stone quarry to help people carry stones. The family's food and clothing depend on this stall.
"Daughter, are you leaving?"
One night before leaving the stall, Shen Hong knocked on Liu Xin's door and sat by the bed to talk to Liu Xin, who was also awake. Although Shen Hong has been busy these days, she feels that her daughter talks less and less, and she always stands watching with a smile.
Although Shen Hong didn't understand any big principles and didn't have much knowledge, she could feel that her daughter seemed ready to leave.
Just as my daughter said to her father on the first day they met, the word "owe" will always be repaid. In that incident, my daughter repaid her father's debt, saved her mother, and found a way to survive through "Aunt Shen's cakes and fruits". Is this considered repaying another favor?
Liu Xin didn't hide anything, nodded and said, "It's time to go."
The same feeling and guess as Shen Hong. Liu Xin came back this time to put an end to her obsession. I met my father once, but now there is no bond. With Mother's Grace and two pills, as well as some guidance and foreshadowing, I asked myself if I was still clean. So what's the point of staying any longer?
"Then can you wait a few more days? Just seven days! Mom wants to celebrate your birthday." Shen Hong was a little cautious. After my daughter was born, the family was too poor and never celebrated anyone’s birthday. She felt that after this separation, she might never see each other again. So I wanted to leave some more thoughts.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
