Wang's little lady

Chapter 22
Xiaoya has been hungry for a long time, but everyone is busy doing things, and she is embarrassed to be lazy.

"Xiaoya, eat quickly. You are strong and you will get hungry quickly."

After all, the little girl couldn't speak, and Mrs. Xie was afraid that she would be hungry.

Xiaoya was quite touched when she heard Grandma Xie's words, but then the other person's next words came out.

"I'll have to rely on you to grind the peas later."

Xiaoya had no time to swallow the porridge in her mouth, so she couldn't help but spit it out.

cough cough.

The others laughed when they saw this.

"Grandma, don't scare her." Hong Dou was very happy.

There are a lot of beans to grind later, and Xiaoya can't bear it no matter how strong she is.

"Why, I don't want her to grind alone. She has to use most of her strength."

Mrs. Xie thinks this is nothing. How can they, the common people, get food if they don’t work?

I don’t know how much people will envy you if you are strong.

If she had this strength when she was young, who would dare to bully her and her son?

Hongdou naturally wouldn't blame her grandma. After all, there were no lazy people in the family, including Brother Tuan, who never went out to play at will when he was young.

"Grandma, if we just grind it by ourselves, it will take a long time, and we are afraid of hurting our body."

"We will sell it for two days. If the sales are good, we will buy a donkey to turn the stone mill."

According to Hongdou's original temperament, he would have to buy a donkey today.But grandma definitely disagrees. After all, it hasn’t been sold yet.

After hearing what her granddaughter said, Mrs. Xie was really reluctant to spend that money.

"The donkey also costs several taels of silver. We can just grind it in turn. It won't be a hassle."

Mrs. Zhang also echoed.She can also do hard work, and when the time comes, she will take Xiaoya to do it together.

Hongdou knew that the elders cared about money, so he didn't bother with them. He just went along with it and made money later.

"Then listen to grandma first. If it doesn't work, we can discuss it later."

After saying that, Hongdou winked at Xiaoya and told her not to worry.

Xiaoya responded to Hongdou with a smile, saying that she wouldn't take it to heart.

During her time at the Xie family, she also saw that everyone was not a bad person.There are a lot of delicious things too.

At this time, the pot was almost ready. Zhang cut and trimmed the braised pork offal and pork head meat.

Seeing that Brother Tuan and Xiaoya were really greedy, Mrs. Zhang also felt sorry for her children and cut a small bowl for them to eat.

Mrs. Xie didn't say much when she saw it. The child only had two more bites.

"Beans, you should eat them too. You are so weak that you need to take good care of them."

Anko responded with a smile. She was not greedy. In fact, the taste was still not as good as what she had eaten before, but she did her best to achieve this level.

"Grandma, mother, let's go out early today. As soon as the stall is set up, I'll go to Dr. Sun's place."

Everyone has no objection.

. . .

On the main street of Shimen Town.

The Xie family laid out all their things.

Especially the braised meat and jelly are placed in the most conspicuous position, making it easier for guests to try them later.

"Dou, it's still early and there aren't many people around. You should go to Dr. Sun's place first."

Mrs. Xie was afraid of delaying her granddaughter's business, so she handed Dr. Sun the jelly and a bowl of braised food.

Hongdou didn't shirk and left with Xiaoya.

In the pharmacy, Dr. Sun had already finished treating two patients and had just some free time.

"Girl from the Xie family, why are you here at this hour?"

Dr. Sun was a little surprised to see Hongdou. He knew that the Xie family would set up a stall on the street next door before noon every day.

Looking at her like this, it doesn't look like she's sick.Hongdou smiled and greeted Grandpa Sun, then walked over and placed the braised meat and jelly she brought in front of Doctor Sun's table.

Immediately he said:

"I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. Grandpa Sun, please don't dislike my diligence."

Dr. Sun is familiar with Hongdou, let alone the fact that she comes here from time to time to buy flaky stones.

She even gave him ice powder twice in the process, just to thank her for taking care of him when he was sick.

He only confiscated the consultation fee at that time. If someone else's family was in difficulty, he would not charge it.

Thinking about it this way, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Haha, girl, it's probably you who dislike me."

After all, who would like to go to the drug store when they have nothing to do?

Immediately, he saw the things on the table. Was this another new food?

"What is this white thing? It looks different from ice powder?"

Hongdou smiled and introduced:

"This is a new food made at home. It's called jelly. It hasn't been sold yet. It's free to try at the stall today."

"And this one, it's called braised food. It's secretly made with a lot of spices."

"You are very knowledgeable, can you help me taste it and see if the guests like it?"

After hearing this, Dr. Sun couldn't help but be curious, especially the braised flavor, which was so fragrant that it almost suppressed the smell of medicine in the room.

He was afraid that it would affect the patient's medical treatment, so he took Hongdou and the others to the living room at the back. After washing their hands carefully, he took a bite of each.

"Hmm~ Not bad, not bad, girl, you really have a good craft."

"Although I have seen similar braised food in other places, the taste is much worse than yours."

"And you used a pig to get into the water?"

I didn’t want to hide the fact that Hongdou’s stewed meat is mainly made from pig offal. Anyway, as long as it’s delicious, the price will definitely be lower than that of meat, so why not?

"Grandpa Sun looked carefully. It uses pig offal and pig head meat, but it is absolutely clean."

Dr. Sun didn't think it was despicable for pigs to enter the water.There are many poor people in this world, but not every household has access to fresh meat.

Those who were having a hard time and really wanted some meaty flavor would occasionally buy pig meat and cook it, but the smell was really hard to clean up.

So not many people buy it.

"Compared with the dishes in restaurants, this braised food is not bad at all. It tastes good and doesn't smell bad."

Then he looked at the jelly that he was most curious about.

"I have never seen this jelly before. One is sweet and the other is salty with the ice powder, each has a different taste. It's wonderful."

As Dr. Sun spoke, he unconsciously touched his beard with his hand and couldn't help but take another bite.

"Grandpa Sun, you can like it. This is specially brought here for you to eat. You think it's good. I'll be more confident."

Seeing Hongdou's flattering words, Doctor Sun was not lost, but asked directly:

"Thank you girl, tell me, come here today, but something happened?"

Those who take people have short hands and eat people with soft mouths.How could he not understand this despite his age?
Seeing this, Hongdou felt embarrassed for a moment that she had been exposed, but she was not thin-skinned anyway.

"I really can't hide my little thoughts from Grandpa Sun."

"I sold the ice powder recipe to Baiweilou. I signed the contract today, but..."

Hongdou said this and smiled a little embarrassedly:
"I can't read. You are the only elder I know who can read. Why don't you come here shamelessly and ask you to hold my eyes for a while?"

When Dr. Sun heard this, he realized that this was the matter and it was not difficult to handle.Many men in ordinary families are illiterate, let alone women.

No wonder I specially sent something here at this hour.

The girl is cunning.

"I agreed to this. After all, I've eaten a lot of your food for nothing, so I don't dare to refuse, haha."
