Chapter 125 Fried dough sticks and candied haws
"What's so delicious?"

"What are you selling?"

Erxi smiled and greeted the guests: "These are fried dough sticks. One stick costs three cents, and two sticks cost five cents. Auntie, why don't you buy one and try it? If it's not delicious, you don't need to pay for it."

The woman saw that there was so much oil in the pot and thought that the fried dough sticks must be very expensive because they had absorbed the oil. She did not expect that the price of the fried dough sticks would be about the same as that of a meat bun.

But she was still hesitant to spend three cents on something she had never seen or eaten before.

Her grandson said coquettishly: "Nai, I want to eat these fried dough sticks, buy them for me."

The woman couldn't stand her grandson's request, "Okay, then buy one and try it."

Sanfu received the money, and Cuiniang wrapped the fried dough sticks in oil paper and handed them to the woman.

This was the first time that the family had set up a stall, and the whole family was involved. Cuiniang didn't want to stay at home alone. Besides, her elder sister and brother were all around, so she gained a lot of courage for no reason and was not so afraid.

The woman's grandson couldn't wait to take a bite of the fried dough sticks. The woman quickly reminded him: "Oh, it's hot. Eat it slowly."

The little boy raised his head and said, "Nai, these fried dough sticks are delicious, you should eat them too."

The woman also wanted to know what the fried dough sticks tasted like, so she took a small bite and chewed it, and it smelled delicious!

Seeing that the grandfather and grandson were enjoying the food so much, other people couldn't help it and stepped forward to buy it.

It's the end of the year, and everyone has some extra money in their pockets, and they are willing to treat themselves to the temple of the five internal organs.

Just as Lin Xi thought, the charm of fried food is unparalleled, and a long queue quickly formed in front of the fried dough sticks stall.

Lin Chunniang and others were a little overwhelmed, so Yuniang was also captured and came to help collect the money and find the money.

Lin Xi, on the other hand, is still a one-year-old child and doesn't have to do anything. Playing is her bounden duty.

She held a fried dough stick in both hands and walked around the market while eating. Xiaoyun followed step by step, reaching out to protect her from time to time to prevent her from being hit by passers-by.

Lin Xi is still a little carrot now. From her perspective, an adult's legs are like pillars. At a glance, they are all densely moving "pillars". If you are not careful, you will bump into one.

On the surface she was just having fun, but in fact she was conducting reconnaissance to see if there were any other people with evil intentions hidden in the crowd.

There was a circle of chirping children in front of the candy seller's stall, a loud cheer came from the overcrowded sideshow stall, and women in groups gathered in front of the jewelry stall, bargaining with the stall owner...

Scenes of vivid and enthusiastic scenes came into Lin Xi's eyes, and were recorded by her brain that was as good as a video recorder. At the same time, her brain quickly processed the loaded information and gave analysis results.

There is no problem with this person, there is no problem with this one, there is still no problem with this one...

After walking around for a while, Lin Xi felt relieved. Except for Bing Shiba, Xiao Qi, and Feng Mumu, there were no other strange people in the market. They were all ordinary people.

However, she discovered a strange thing. In her mind, the popular snack that must be sold in the market - candied haws on a stick - was not found.

"Xiaoyun, do you know candied haws on a stick?"

Xiaoyun: "Tanghulu? What is that? Is it something to eat?"

Lin Xi: "That's right, it's edible. The hawthorns are coated with a layer of sugar. When the sugar coating is cold, you bite them. They are crunchy and taste sweet and sour."

Xiaoyun was so excited by what she said that she swallowed her saliva.

Lin Xi smiled and glanced at her. Xiaoyun didn't know about candied haws. It seemed that candied haws had not been invented yet, and he had discovered a small business that could make money.

By noon, the market gradually dispersed, and the Lin family also closed their stalls.

After returning home and putting down their things, the Lin family happily counted the money.

There were still a hundred articles strung together in one string, and finally sixteen strings were strung together, with dozens more articles added.

Lin Chunniang: "Hey, dear, have we made one, two or six yuan this morning just by selling fried dough sticks?"

Erxi: "Sister, we still have to deduct the capital."

Lin Chunniang: "Where did we get the capital? The flour was grown in our own land, the firewood was picked up from the mountains, and we just spent some money on oil paper. As for the big pot of oil for frying the fried dough sticks, we can still keep it at home. Eat."

Lin Dayou: "After all, we have made almost one, two or five yuan of silver."

Lin Chunniang: "We made one, two, five, and a half cents of silver in one morning, so if we sell for a few more days, we can't make more?" Just thinking about it makes people excited.

Cui Niang: "The market doesn't happen every day."

Lin Xi thought to herself that as long as she wanted, there could be a market every day.

Lin Chunniang's excitement barely cooled down, "That's true, but it only takes a few days to sell it. If you don't make money, you'd be a fool."

Yuniang was drinking sugar water. When she heard this, she thought she was talking about her and raised her head: "Sister, I'm not a fool."

Lin Chunniang laughed and said, "Sister, I'm not talking about you. Our jade lady is the smartest, how could she be a fool?"

Yuniang smiled sweetly.

Sanfu wiped her mouth and said, "Thank you to Xibao. If it weren't for her, how could we have made so much money so easily?"

This was unanimously approved by everyone.

So in the following time, Lin Xi, who was usually treated like a little princess, received meticulous care from the Lin family.

Crack walnuts for her, peel pine nuts, make milk tea, and occasionally care if she is cold... just like serving her little ancestor.

Erxi asked: "Xibao, what do you want to eat for lunch? My second brother will cook it for you."

Lin Xi then reported a list of dish names.

Erxi: "No problem, second brother will do it right away."

After the meal, the family sat on the kang, talked affectionately, and drank tea to eat.

Lin Xi said: "I also want to eat candied haws."

Erxi: "What is candied haws on a stick?"

Lin Xi didn't want to repeat it again, so she glanced at Xiaoyun, who answered for her.

Erxi immediately realized that candied haws on a stick is a delicious snack that is very popular with children. If it is made and sold, it will definitely be very popular.

In the afternoon, the Lin family made candied haws under the guidance of Lin Xi.

Lin Dayou went out for a trip and bought back baskets of hawthorns. "I happened to see an old man selling hawthorns. The price is very cheap. A basket only cost [-] yuan."

Lin Chunniang stepped forward and took a look, "Yes, they are all good and there are no bad consequences."

Lin Chunniang cleans the hawthorns, Cuiniang removes the cores of the hawthorns, Sanfu specializes in cutting bamboo sticks, and Lin Dayou is still responsible for lighting the fire.

As for Yu Niang, she plays here and lends a hand there.

Lin Xi only moved her mouth but didn't move her hands. She was lying on the lounge chair, basking in the warm afternoon sun. There were snacks and milk tea next to her, which made her feel very comfortable.

When the strings of candied haws are finished, Erxi's syrup is also ready.

Erxi pinched a bunch of candied haws and put it into the syrup. With a slight twist, the candied haws were coated with a uniform layer of crystal syrup, making them taste sweet just by looking at them.

After cooling, the syrup is set, and the sweet and sour candied haws are ready.

The first bunch of candied haws was brought to Lin Xi. She picked it up and bit it, and a gap appeared on the first crystal-red hawthorn.

Erxi asked: "How is Xibao? Is it delicious?"

Lin Xi nodded, "It's delicious."

After receiving her approval, Erxi felt relieved. The others also laughed and each took a bunch of candied haws to taste.

While I was eating happily, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

The atmosphere in the room was tense, and the Lin family looked at each other. Who could be coming at this time?
