Zhou Shichu made two sets of dresses for himself and Zhou Shiwan respectively. When Zhou Shiwan received the clothes, he couldn't believe his eyes. He held the dresses and asked carefully: "Are they really for me?"
"It's for you, otherwise who in our family can wear such small clothes? Li Ji is a boy and he doesn't wear skirts." Zhou Shichu nodded and replied.
Zhou Shiwan's eyes suddenly lit up with joy, and she looked at these two new sets of clothes like treasures. The clothes she was wearing now were all made when her parents were still alive. Because she was one year older, her clothes had become smaller. The sleeves and skirt were much shorter, but the original owner didn't care about her before, so she had to wear it this way.
Now Zhou Shichu actually made her a beautiful new dress. She suddenly felt that her sister was not as scary as before, and now she dared to go up and talk to her.
Zhou Shichu took some money from his companion space to use. The household expenses that Li Wei gave to the original owner had long been squandered by the original owner, so she had to use her own.
She planned to go to the street to buy some ingredients and start making steamed buns to sell tomorrow. She was not the original owner now and could not use Li Wei's money with confidence, so she had to rely on herself, and selling food was the easiest and most convenient way to make money.
Zhou Shichu bought flour, pork, mutton and some cabbage and sauerkraut, almost filling the already narrow kitchen.
Aunt Qian asked in shock: "Madam, why did you buy so many ingredients? The price of ingredients is going to increase recently? If you buy so much meat, will it go bad if left alone?"
Zhou Shichu said: "I bought it to make buns tomorrow."
"Madam, how many buns do you plan to make? Can you finish them?" Aunt Qian looked at the pile of ingredients and couldn't believe it, thinking that Zhou Shichu was messing around again.
"Instead of eating it ourselves, I plan to sell the buns tomorrow." Zhou Shichu said directly.
"Selling steamed buns? But madam, how can you sell steamed buns? I won't agree if I know this..." Aunt Qian said firmly. Although the family still had little money, Li Wei achieved the position of school captain, even though he still had no money. He is not a high-ranking official, but he will definitely continue to rise in the future. It would be ridiculous if Zhou Shichu, the head mother of the family, sells steamed buns.
"Why doesn't he agree? I sell buns to make money with my own hands, and I don't steal or rob. How can I be shady? Has he just become a big-ass official and forgotten that he was once a dirt-legged person?" Son?" Zhou Shichu rolled his eyes.
Aunt Qian wanted to continue to persuade, but Zhou Shichu's decision could not be changed: "Aunt Qian, you don't need to say more, how much salary can your master have? It is barely enough to support our family, but what I want is Not only do I want to live, but I also want to live a better life. If he can’t meet my request, then shouldn’t it be okay for me to make money myself?”
"Aunt Qian, what is the world like now? We may all die one day, so why do we care so much? Selling steamed buns is not shameful, it is shameful to have no money." Zhou Shichu successfully persuaded Aunt Qian with a lot of words .
In fact, this is also because it is the end of the dynasty and the beginning of troubled times. The people are in dire straits and have no extra energy to focus on aspects other than life-saving and survival. They have tried their best to survive, so the so-called secular etiquette and rules will It became more and more loose, so it didn't matter that Zhou Shichu, the wife of the captain, was selling steamed buns on the street. Zhuo Wenjun could sell wine on the street that day.
Of course, in the prosperous and peaceful times, it was not appropriate for Zhou Shichu to sell steamed buns, otherwise her family would be drowned in everyone's spit, but now it is a troubled time, so everyone is tolerant, and Zhou Shichu's unusual behavior will not be ignored. What.
Zhou Shichu had tasted the steamed buns sold by the indigenous people on the street, and they did taste good. However, Zhou Shichu had traveled through so many worlds and had eaten countless kinds of steamed buns, so it was easy to make better steamed buns than the indigenous people.
She carefully mixed the various fillings, and kneaded the dough with Aunt Qian to make the bun wrappers. The two of them got up early and started making buns. After more than an hour, they had finished wrapping all the fillings, and made a total of I ordered more than three hundred steamed buns.
When the steamed buns were being steamed, Li Ji and Zhou Shiwan, who had not yet woken up, were woken up by the aroma of the steamed buns. Li Ji walked to the kitchen in a daze with bare feet and said, "Aunt Qian, what have you done?" It’s delicious, I want to eat it!”
"If you want to eat, brush your teeth and wash your face, otherwise I won't let you eat." Zhou Shichu looked at Li Ji with disgust at the corners of his eyes and said.
When Li Ji heard her voice, he suddenly sobered up a lot and wanted to quarrel with her. However, the aroma of the steamed buns kept entering his nose, making him scratch his head and want to eat it immediately.
But he had been taught a lesson by Zhou Shichu and his father, so he had to give in and quickly ran out of the yard to wash up.
Before half a cup of tea, Li Ji had washed up and ran in. Zhou Shichu didn't embarrass him and brought him several buns with different fillings and asked him to take them out to eat.
At this time, Li Wei also came back from exercise. When he saw the exceptionally beautifully made and deliciously fragrant steamed buns in his bowl, he immediately said, "Get one for daddy."
"This is for me. If you want to eat it, Dad, go get it from the kitchen." Li Ji guarded his buns like a dog guarding its food.
Li Wei glared at him: "I raised you in vain."
Doesn't he want to get it himself? Isn't this embarrassing? When he got up before, he heard Zhou Shichu and Aunt Qian making steamed buns. When he learned that these were steamed buns made by Zhou Shichu to sell, he suddenly felt embarrassed and went to eat them without hesitation.
He didn't want to, but the aroma of the buns was too strong, making his mouth water involuntarily. However, Li Ji, the unscrupulous man, was still eating in front of him. The extremely alluring aroma seemed to be carrying a hook. His stomach was churning and he couldn't stand it anymore!
Li Wei was worried! Although he dislikes Zhou Shichu very much, she is still his legitimate wife. Isn't it natural for him to eat what she cooks?
So Li Wei, who thickened his skin, went straight to the kitchen.
"Ahem." Li Wei stood at the door of the kitchen and coughed a few times, but no one paid attention to him. Aunt Qian was focusing on lighting the fire and didn't notice him. However, Zhou Shichu saw him, but just glanced at him and ignored him. Got it.
"These buns are very delicious." Li Wei saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he had to find the steps and go down by himself, and walked in while talking.
"I didn't expect you to have such skills." Li Wei said without saying anything, obviously speaking to Zhou Shichu.
"I still have many skills, you will know about it later." Zhou Shichu nodded without any humility.
Li Wei was choked by her words. He didn't expect that she went against the rules and praised her skills. Shouldn't he be invited to taste the steamed buns next?
