Wang's little lady

Chapter 10 Bingfen and the little girl
In Xie's small courtyard.

Brother Tuan sat in the courtyard, his eyes always focused on the direction of the courtyard door.

At this time, there was a sound outside the door. Brother Tuan heard it and ran over quickly:
"Sister, grandma, you are back."

Brother Tuan happily welcomed the return of the two of them, looking at Hongdou expectantly.

Just as she was about to ask Pearl Lotus if she had found it, the extra person behind her caught her attention.

"Sister, who is she?"

"Brother Tuan, don't ask anymore. Let's talk after we go in."

Mrs. Xie and Hongdou brought the person in and put the things in the backpack into the house first, letting Mrs. Zhang organize them.

"Mom, Hongdou, I'll take care of it. You and Hongdou sit down for a while and I'll pour you some water."

Mrs. Zhang came over with water. As soon as she took the things from the two of them, she saw a stranger appear outside the door:

"Who is this?"

Hongdou handed a bowl of water over to him. After the other party started drinking it, he had the time to explain to Mr. Zhang and Mr. Tuan:

"Mom, we picked this up in the mountains."

Mrs. Zhang: "Picked it up? Hey, does this person have a brain problem? Is he lost?"

Brother Tuan: "Mom, maybe she was thrown away."

cough cough.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law and grandson were talking more and more nonsense, Mrs. Xie quickly coughed twice to stop others, so as not to embarrass others.

Hongdou was also amused by the speculations of her mother and brother.

However, the little girl stood quietly after drinking the water. Even after hearing these words, there was no unhappy look on her face, she just looked at them curiously.

"Mom, my grandma and I were looking for things in the mountains. As soon as we were about to come back, he followed us secretly. We were shocked at that time."

She once thought that they were out of luck and had encountered a wild beast. Grandma was ready to fight for her life, but it turned out that it was a little girl.

It was a false alarm.

"No, she didn't say anything for a long time after asking. She was dirty all over."

"I saw that she was two years younger than Hongdou, and she was a little girl. I felt pitiful, so I discussed with Hongdou to bring her back first."

Mrs. Xie was helpless. They had no intention of meddling. After all, the family didn't have the ability to meddle in other people's affairs.

But the little girl kept following them and refused to listen when asked to leave. She didn't look very smart and remained silent.

Could it be dumb?
Hongdou was also a little suspicious. It didn't matter if he was mute, but he was worried that there would be problems with the other party's identity and would bring trouble to the family.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, it was really dangerous to leave her alone in the mountains. They could not ignore it and had to bring her back temporarily.

"Mom, let's keep her for one night first, and then ask Li Zheng tomorrow to help keep an eye on anyone who has lost a child."

Zhang agreed.

The little girl on the side heard everyone's arrangements for her, but still did not refute.

When several people saw her like this, they were even more worried that the other party might have something wrong with her brain.

"By the way, mother, grandma and I found the Pearl Lotus."

"Let's try it after dinner. If we can make it, we'll start selling it tomorrow."

Everyone responded happily, looking forward to the ice powder.

Dinner was relatively simple, but something unexpected happened.

Hongdou and the others couldn't help but swallow as they looked at the little girl who kept stuffing rice into her mouth.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: This girl is so delicious, who can afford to raise her?

Anko even had a bad feeling.

After finishing three bowls of rice, the little girl slowly slowed down, but at this time, there was no extra rice in the pot.

Brother Tuan is guarding his job fiercely, for fear of being snatched away by others.

Seeing this, the others quickly finished the food in their bowls to avoid entering other five internal organs temples.

I just hope that I can find this girl’s family tomorrow and send her back.After the meal, Mrs. Zhang took the little girl to clean up. She was too dirty and she didn't dare to let her sleep directly at night.

Hongdou took the other two people to start making ice powder.

Everyone is very concerned about this kind of food, which is related to their livelihood.

Hongdou sorted out a small part of the pearl lotus seeds and tied them tightly with gauze.

Then put the gauze into a certain proportion of cold boiled water and soak it for about a quarter of an hour, and then start to rub it slowly with your hands.

During the rubbing process, the transparent pulp mucus in the gauze slowly penetrated into the water.

For the best effect, I added some mint leaves to the red beans, stirred them vigorously and let them rest for a while.

The mixture in the basin turns into a transparent light brown solidified object.

The whole thing looks shiny, with small bubbles.

Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Zhang, Brother Tuan and the little girl who came out after cleaning were all pleasantly surprised when they saw it.

Unexpectedly, weeds that no one wanted in the mountains could become food after being managed like this.

If anyone knew about this, the mountain would be completely uprooted.

"Dou, is this done?"

Mrs. Xie asked cautiously, for fear that her granddaughter would say the opposite.

The others looked at her expectantly;
"Sister, can I eat?"

Although Brother Tuan had already had dinner, seeing such clear and smooth ice powder still made his mouth salivate.

"Actually, it tastes better if chilled, but at this time, we don't require it."

"Grandma, do we have brown sugar?"

"It's tasteless if you eat it directly. You need to pour the melted brown sugar on top. It's best to add some peanuts. The taste..."

Anko said that she felt greedy, just thinking about it made people look forward to it.

"Wait, I'll get it."

Granny Xie won’t talk about spending money anymore.

This is a good thing to exchange for money. Only when the family tastes it can they tell the guests how it tastes.

She would never admit that she was greedy.

In a moment, several bowls of ice powder poured with brown sugar water were born.

As soon as he went in, the comfortable touch made Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Zhang, Brother Tuan and the new girl unconsciously narrow their eyes.

"Daughter, why is this stuff so slippery? It's so refreshing and delicious."

"Beans, we've distributed them, they will definitely sell well tomorrow, haha."

"Sister, it's delicious, it's delicious."

The little girl who has been silent: nodding her head while eating.

Hongdou tasted this bowl of ice powder born in ancient times and was very satisfied.

Although the ingredients are not as rich as later ones, they are already excellent here.

She also picked some wild fruits and boiled some jam to put in. The price could be increased a little.

At least they don't have to worry about it during the hot weather.

"Let's get up early tomorrow and make the ice powder first and ice it. It will taste better."

"Daughter, don't worry, I'll get up early tomorrow to do it. I just watched it. It's easy."

Mrs. Zhang is full of anger now, and now that she has a profitable business, she is even less likely to be lazy.

Even if it can only be sold when the weather is hot, it is still a big profit.

At other times, if she finds other jobs, she will definitely be able to live a better life.

She now believes that her daughter's dowry and her son's education money will be available.
