I'm serious about the calamity of fast wear

Chapter 492 The Cannon Fodder Who Died in Exile (10)

When the proprietress saw what Shimu said, she couldn't help but feel pity, but she wasn't very angry.

After all, Shi Mu didn't completely refuse.

So, she carefully looked at the handkerchiefs and counted them. There are 24 handkerchiefs in total, and each handkerchief is a group of four.

In the other group, each veil is embroidered with scenery representing spring, summer, autumn and winter, which makes people feel reluctant to part with each veil.

Seeing this appearance, the proprietress began to worry.

"The fabric of this handkerchief, my lady, is really good, but our county is too small, and there are probably very few people who can afford these handkerchiefs. However, my lady's embroidery skills and patterns are really brilliant. So , I will give you thirty cents for each of these handkerchiefs. As I said earlier, I run a shop and do business, and there must be a discrepancy between the money received for the handkerchiefs and the money sold. If I don’t earn a penny, then this There is no need for me to continue to open the store, the lady said, am I right?"

Shi's mother naturally knew that a handkerchief like hers could be sold for fifty or sixty yuan a piece. If it was sold in the capital, it might be even higher.

But as the proprietress said, she is in business, so she can't sell it for fifty or sixty yuan, and the price is the same for her.

Although the price of thirty yuan a piece is indeed low, in a small county here, the price is not very low.

She thought for a while, with a smile on her face, and nodded in agreement.

"Thank you boss for telling the truth, do the math, how much is the total!"

When the proprietress heard what Shimu said, she immediately flicked the abacus up and down, counted, and took out 720 copper coins and put them in Shimu's basket.

"Look, lady, the amount of money is right. If you embroider any good embroidery next time, you can come to me directly. My husband's family name is Fan, so you can call me Lady Fan."

"Thank you, Boss Fan, if there is a chance, I will definitely look for you!"

Shi Mu counted the money, and after confirming that it was correct, her smile became more sincere, and she left with a smile.

As soon as he went out, he saw Shi's father standing outside the clothing store waiting, and the basket behind him was already filled with flour and some fruits and vegetables.

When Shi's mother saw Shi's father, she sighed.

"Before we were in the capital, the maid's monthly money was more than this. Now my eyes are almost blind, and I don't even get a tael."

"Don't worry, our life will get better and better when the cake stall is built."

Father Shi comforted him.

After returning home, the family of three first fried the side dishes and put them aside, and then started to bake spring pancakes.

I burned more than 100 sheets before I stopped.

Looking at these things, Shi Jiang always felt that something was missing.

After thinking about it, he said to his father, "Father, isn't there a bamboo forest near the village? You go and chop a dozen bamboos and come back, and then saw them at the bamboo joints to look like bamboo tubes, and soak them in water overnight. , get rid of the smell inside."

"Ah, bamboo? What do you do with bamboo tubes?"

Shi's father was a little confused. Aren't all the things for making pancakes ready for tomorrow?
"Father, look, this pancake tastes really good if you eat one, but if you eat too much, you have to drink something, otherwise, if you eat pancakes alone, your mouth will definitely be very dry. Let's make another pot of drink , if you have a reason to buy it, you can drink it from a bamboo tube."

But Shi's father was a little frowning, and looked left and right at the things in the house. Where can there be things that can make good drinks?

"Mom, go to the village chief's house and ask if there is any milk for sale. If there is no milk, goat's milk is also acceptable. Buy a bucket and I will make a drink. You can drink it and see if it is not good. , just don’t take it tomorrow!”

Shi Jiang thought it over, there are a lot of black tea bags in his bag!
It just happens to make a pot of milk tea, and then use tapioca flour to make some pearls. No one will refuse this thing.

"Okay, I'll chop bamboo and let your mother buy goat milk."

Hearing what his daughter said, Shi's father thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

Anyway, the pancakes have been made and sold according to my daughter's idea, and no matter how many things there are, it won't make much difference.

No one in the bamboo grove next to the village here digs bamboo shoots to eat, because they don’t know how to cook them, and some people cook them like this, and they only feel that the taste is similar to that of firewood.

Therefore, the bamboo forest grows more and more, forming a big one.

When Shi's father went to cut these bamboos, the people in the village saw him and thought that he was preparing his own bamboo strips to make some baskets at home, but they didn't take it to heart.

Shi's mother also spent ten Wen to buy a large bucket of milk from the village head's house.

Here is close to the border, the most indispensable thing on the grassland is cattle.

Therefore, in all the villages here, more or less wealthy families have a cow at home.

It's just that this milk has a strong fishy smell, except for people who don't have milk and feed their newborn babies, other people don't like to drink this milk at all.

The village head's family also bought a cow specially for their precious grandson because their daughter-in-law had no milk after giving birth.

Now that my grandson is over three years old, I don't want to drink this milk for a long time.

Shi Jiang, who originally had no hope and thought that there might only be goat milk, laughed when he saw the fresh milk brought back by Shi's mother.

She asked Shi's mother to heat up both stoves, and boil milk in the pot inside to sterilize.

Then in the pot outside, first put the brown sugar to melt, then pour in the cassava flour, stir it into a ball, take it out and put it aside for later use.

Then put in white sugar and boil it to caramel color, then scoop the slightly boiled milk in the pot inside into the sugar color, stir it evenly, then throw a few black tea bags into it, and boil it for four to five minutes, Just scoop it all out.

Then rub the ball of cassava flour into small pieces, put it in water and boil it until it is cooked through, take it out and put it in a bowl, and then pour the milk tea into it.

Shi Jiang put the two bowls of pearl milk tea in front of his parents and asked expectantly.

"Father, mother, try it, how does it taste?"

In order to make the milk taste good, she didn't add any water.

Shi's father and Shi's mother swallowed secretly since the smell of milk came to their nostrils just now.

When they were in the capital, it was not that they had never drank milk, but it tasted weird, and the smell was too strong, so they were not used to it at all.

Unexpectedly, after passing through my daughter's hands, the smell turned into sweet and fragrant, and the fishy smell was gone.

The couple picked up the pearl milk tea that their daughter put in front of them, blew on it, and took a sip, their eyes lit up immediately.

"It's delicious, and there's no smell of mutton, Jiang'er, how did you do it?"

"Yeah, when I brought this bucket of milk from the village head's house just now, it still smelled very bad."

Shi's father and Shi's mother asked in unison.
