People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

Chapter 9 009: Enjoy delicious food in a small rice ball
"Husband, you must be careful at home." Cai Xiaolan pointed to the schedule posted on the wall, which clearly stated today's plan:
Morning - "The Analects of Confucius" (Xue Er Pian)

Afternoon – Choose three of them and paraphrase them.

"If you can't finish memorizing, you are not allowed to eat!" Cui's mother nagged beside her.

The two of them each carried a bamboo basket, with a dozen rice balls placed in each basket. Before leaving, they did not forget to tell Cui Boyan to study well at home.

Unexpectedly, the older child was arranged, and the younger child made trouble again.

"I don't want to be at home with my third brother, he's either sleeping or sleeping, and no one is playing with me!" Xiao Dongping wrapped around Cui's mother's arm, clamoring to go together.

Cai Xiaolan thought of Cui Dongping's affectionate attitude when he protected his third brother last night, but she felt very disgusted at this moment.I couldn't help but worry about her future. Children, regardless of anything else, must have correct values.

"Dongping, come here, my sister-in-law has something to say to you!" Cai Xiaolan pulled Cui Dongping aside, "Did the hair rope I bought for you look good a few days ago?"

"It's beautiful!" Xiao Dongping hooked the braids on his head, and the little ribbons tied around his hair naturally hung down on his cheeks.

"Do you want to buy another one? Maybe next time the salesman comes again, he will have more fun and delicious things in his load. Do you want to buy it?"

"I think!" The little girl nodded.

"Then listen to me, my sister-in-law has buried sixteen copper coins in this small piece of land. If you dig them out, I will reward you with five... no, I will reward you with three!" Cai Xiaolan originally stood up with five coins. A finger, but later I thought about it, there is no use for a child to get so much money, it is better to supplement the family income.

Cui Dongping looked back at the hoe on the wall, which was several heads taller than him, "Uh..."

"Three in one day, six in two days, nine in three days..." Cai Xiaolan continued to seduce.

Xiao Dongping couldn't calculate the amount after three days, but to her, nine copper coins was already a lot.

Hastily agreed to sister-in-law, "Okay!"

"If you are tired, ask your third brother to help you!"

Cui's mother and Cai Xiaolan are at the door of the house, sharing things.Surrounding Liujiazhuang, the nearby fields stretch as far as the eye can see.If the two go all the way, the efficiency will be very low.

Cai Xiaolan walked to the field ridge where she was squatting yesterday. People here have not yet gathered together, and everyone is busy in the field!

"Cai Xiaolan, come on, you can do it. Isn't it just hawking? There is a first time for everything!" Cai Xiaoniang started to cheer her up when she came out of the house. Until now, she has not even opened her mouth to shout the first sentence.

"We are selling food!" The cry, which was no louder than a kitten's cry, failed to stir up any echo in the vast fields.

Those who are busy in the field are still busy.Even the most curious children were not disturbed, and focused on the ant nest on the field ridge.

"Selling rice balls!" She went all out and tried her best. With this sound, two teal ducks on the ridge of the field were startled to flop.

Four or five people looked back, and then turned to focus on the work in hand.The little lady has a pretty face, but her figure is too bad, about the same as a reed stick.

"Uh……"

Unlimited silence.At this moment, Cai Xiaolan wanted to turn the dozen or so rice balls in the basket into white flour and brown rice, and put them back into the bag, "Well, why do you want to do business like others?"

……

When she was still in modern society, she saw small businesses being run on the streets, which were very simple.There are sausage stalls on the street, or they sell some home-made handmade products, and some people buy a small slide and some ocean balls, and they dare to charge 10 yuan an hour in the park.

Only when it was my turn did I realize the difficulty of doing a job.The work experience of a librarian does not help in the slightest when selling rice balls.

"It's still too urgent. If you have a good idea next time, you should think about it and don't rush to put it into practice." Cai Xiaolan only yelled twice, and she retreated in her heart.Although it was still spring, her little eggplant was frosted ahead of time and wilted.

……

"Little lady, which family are you from? Seeing that you have been standing here for so long, are you waiting for someone?" An old lady who was resting on the ridge of the field saw Cai Xiaolan standing alone with a strange face, and thought it was from a nearby family. Newly married daughter-in-law.

"Ma'am, call me, I sell rice balls!" Cai Xiaolan pointed to herself, she was not yet familiar with the way people in the Tang Dynasty called each other.

"Rice balls?" After hearing an unfamiliar term, the aunt made some guesses, "How much does one cost?"

"If you add eggs, it costs four, if you don't add eggs, it costs three!" When Cai Xiaolan heard that the business was coming, she quickly picked up the basket and moved forward.He lifted up the cloth covering the bamboo basket and handed the rice ball wrapped in cloth to the aunt!

"It's not cheap, you sell eggs for a penny each!" Hearing the price, the aunt who had some ideas flinched.

However, the alluring aroma in the bamboo basket is too tempting.The aunt's stomach growled.

The uncle who was still busy in the fields turned around and shouted at the aunt, "Old lady, you go back and cook first, I'm almost starving to death!"

When the aunt heard this, her face quickly darkened.

There are four sons and three daughters-in-law in the family, but none of them are filial, they only know how to eat ready-made.After being busy in the field, I never know how to take the initiative to cook.

"Auntie, why don't you buy two? It just so happens that you and the uncle each have one, so don't delay work!" Cai Xiaolan saw that the aunt withdrew her hand, knowing that the business would be bad, and she was shocked by the price.However, she has the perseverance to persevere to the end, and she will never turn back until she hears a clear rejection.

"You can also buy an egg for uncle to make up for it!"

The aunt looked at the village. There was no smoke floating in the direction of her home.

"Huh, I bought it! Let those delicious and lazy things drink the Northwest Wind today!" The aunt took out a small cloth bag from her bosom, and counted out seven Kaiyuan Tongbao.

"I want two big ones!" As witty as an aunt, she took a glance and found two bigger ones in a pile of rice balls.

"Okay!" Cai Xiaolan smiled happily and received her first business.Seven dollars.

"Old man, come over for dinner!" the aunt shouted.

This shout made Cai Xiaoniang fully realize the gap between her own voice and that of others.In the open fields, no matter how strong the sound of the guqin is, it is not as strong as the reed flute or even the trumpet.

The aunt made a sound, and by the way, she advertised for Miss Cai, and the people who were busy in the fields stopped, wondering what the rice balls were.

In rural areas, even a little bit of news can cause an uproar.

"Her third aunt, what is the rice ball?" An old man in the field shouted to the aunt.

"The food this little lady sells is delicious!" In fact, she hasn't eaten it yet.She couldn't bear to eat the good food that cost three yuan a piece. She wanted to wait for her uncle to come and eat together.

In terms of time, it is time for ordinary peasant families to have breakfast.People in the village all wake up at dawn, take care of the livestock at home, and then run to the fields to work until Tatsumi turns, and then go home for breakfast.Have another meal in the afternoon.

So at this moment, everyone who is busy in the field is hungry.When they heard that there was food, they all gathered around.

The uncle arrived at the ridge of the field and took the rice ball handed over by his aunt. This was the first time he had seen such an exquisite look.

"It's not cheap, is it?" The rough hands can also feel the vigorous heat on the rice balls.

"Just eat it, here, there is an egg!" The aunt bought rice balls, it was an act of anger.Don't want him to know.

"Okay, eat one piece!" The uncle looked at the slightly dodgy eyes of the aunt, and his heart suddenly became hot.The aunt has been with him until today, and she has never had a good life. She finally survived the turmoil in the Sui Dynasty.

"How much is an egg? Let's buy another one!" the uncle asked.

"A penny!"

"Not expensive!" The uncle waved his hand!
After taking a bite, I realized that rice balls are really delicious.The mixture of brown rice and glutinous rice makes it extremely soft and glutinous. The fried pancakes inside are crispy, the pickles are salty, and the overall sweetness and greasy taste are extremely delicious.

"I'm afraid this is not cheap!"

The aunt also took a bite, and the collision of tastes in her mouth made her speechless, so she had to point to the remaining rice balls.it is more than words.

The old couple ate the rice balls and eggs quickly and with great enjoyment.There wasn't even a grain of rice left on the cloth.

The farmers gathered around and saw that the two were enjoying the food. After discussing with their family members, they all decided to buy one to taste it, "His third aunt can afford it, and so can our family!"

At this moment, the fields were full of heroic spirit.

　The new book sets sail, thank you for your recommendation!
