After rebirth, mother is hard to do

Chapter 18
On West Street, many people have already set up stalls in the chaotic vegetable market.Aunt Lin and Feng'er also chose a place to stand here, revealing the eggs in the basket.

Meng Yuxuan put down the burden beside them, and let Heizi and Shangguanxi stand together, so that the two children could keep each other company.Heizi is simple and honest, and has been taking care of Shangguanxi.Meng Yuxuan glanced at them from time to time to make sure they were not running around, and then began to arrange her booth.

She opened the old cloth that covered it, revealing the pastry spread on lotus leaves.Those pastries are all in the shape of flowers, neatly placed together, looking very gratifying.

"Sister-in-law, what is this? It looks delicious." A girl selling wild vegetables at a stall next to her asked curiously, stretching her neck.

Meng Yuxuan said with a smile: "This is hawthorn cake. Sister, try it! The prescription was obtained from an eminent monk, long-term consumption is good for the body."

"Hawthorn cake! We have a lot of hawthorn here, and we usually make some cakes to satisfy our cravings. There is nothing unusual about hawthorn cake. Anyone buy it?" The girl lost interest when she heard that it was hawthorn.

"You girl, don't you listen carefully to what people say? This is a recipe you got from an eminent monk. It's different from ordinary hawthorn cake. I tried it and it's very delicious." Aunt Lin next to her said to the girl: " Why are you here to sell vegetables today? Where is your grandma?"

The girl was obviously an old acquaintance with Aunt Lin, and she was not angry when she said that, she still smiled kindly.Hearing Aunt Lin mention her grandma, worry flashed in her eyes.

"Grandma is sick. I want to sell some wild vegetables for money for medicine." The girl sighed, "My little sister-in-law, my name is Honghua, what do you call her?"

Meng Yuxuan didn't have any friends of the same age here, seeing that the girl was about the same age as her, but calling her little sister-in-law, she felt a little helpless for a while.

"My name is Yuxuan. Sister Honghua can call me Sister Xuan, or Xi Erniang." Meng Yuxuan said with a smile.

"I'll call you Sister Xuan! We look about the same age, and I'm not married yet! Your children are already this old. It's amazing." Hong Hua laughed.

"Yeah! I also think I'm pretty good." Meng Yuxuan touched Shangguanxi's head and said with a smile: "Our Xi'er is very cute, and I feel so lucky to have such an obedient child."

"You are so good-looking. Your child is also very good-looking." Honghua smiled kindly at Shangguanxi.

"Girl Honghua, you have to take good care of your grandma. Your grandma is getting old and her body doesn't look like a young man's. It's normal to have minor illnesses and pains. Don't worry, she will get better." Aunt Lin sighed : "Your parents went down early, your grandma has worked so hard to drag you to such an age, and it seems that the end of the hardship is about to come. God will see it, and will not let her go early."

"Yeah." Honghua is very handsome, but there are some small freckles on her cheeks. "Auntie sells eggs? I just saw the shopkeeper of the restaurant collecting eggs here, and he said that he still needs to collect eggs. Would you like to go directly to the restaurant and ask?"

"What else? Feng'er, you stay here with Xi Erniang, I'll go to the restaurant and ask." Aunt Lin was impatient, she just picked up the basket and left.

Feng'er and Meng Yuxuan looked at each other and smiled.Feng'er looked at the hawthorn cakes that no one cared about, and said, "You have to sell something. If you don't sell it, who knows what you sell? How about I help you shout a few times?"

"Then trouble sister-in-law." Meng Yuxuan has never done business, so she really doesn't understand this aspect.Feng'er's words reminded her.Looking at the people around, they shouted at the top of their voices.Even if you let her yell, I'm afraid she can't compare to others.With her heart, she really can't do something like haggling with others with a high-pitched voice.Feng'er and Aunt Lin really helped her a lot.

Feng'er cleared her throat and shouted loudly: "Everyone, uncles, aunts and sisters-in-law, I have delicious hawthorn cake here, come and have a look! This is a prescription I got from an eminent monk. You can eat it for sure." You still want to eat, if it’s not good, you won’t be charged! Sister-in-law, look at these cakes, do you want to eat them? Do you want to buy a piece?”

"What's so special about hawthorn cake? Which of us can't make it? I'm not stupid to spend money on these things." The woman glanced at it and said with disdain.

"Sister-in-law, anyone can make hawthorn cake, but not everyone can make it so delicious. I can also make hawthorn cake, but I dare say there is no better hawthorn cake in the world. Sister-in-law doesn't believe that you can try it " Feng'er looked at Meng Yuxuan and motioned to her.

Meng Yuxuan quickly said: "Sister-in-law, you are my first customer, and I will give you a bargain. A piece of hawthorn cake costs three pennies, and I will give you two pennies."

"Sanwen? You go and grab it!" The woman was a little moved when she heard the price, but she was completely angry.

Meng Yuxuan has confidence in her craftsmanship, and even more confidence in the hawthorn tree in the space.But the reaction of the guests made her lose confidence all of a sudden.

Is she really not a business material?

In the past, no matter what I did, everything went smoothly, and it was the first time I encountered such setbacks.

"Don't buy it, don't buy it, I heard that her haw jelly can eat dead people." A woman next to her said while pulling the young woman.

"Impossible? Why would hawthorn cake eat dead people? We've done it before!" the woman said in surprise.

"Who knows if the prescription she said is something harmful? Some eminent monks are not real eminent monks, but evil monks. Maybe the prescription she got was made by evil monks to harm people." The woman pulled the woman People, looking at Meng Yuxuan warily. "Anyway, don't buy it. I'm your aunt, and I will harm you? If you don't believe me, go over there and ask. A person from the same village as her said, there is no falsehood."

"Auntie, how can you say that? I am also in the same village as her, and I can testify that the hawthorn cake she made will not harm anyone." Feng'er said anxiously.

"I can also testify. The hawthorn cake made by my aunt is the best. Isn't it? Brother Xi." Heizi also called out to the woman.

Shangguanxi nodded repeatedly.He glared at the woman angrily, his eyes full of accusations.

"You and her are in the same group. Can you believe what you say?" the woman snorted.

"Don't talk to them." The young woman finally believed her mother-in-law's words.She dragged her mother-in-law away from Meng Yuxuan's stall.

Those people who heard Feng'er's yelling and gathered around heard their conversation, and scattered one by one.The other street vendors who had been kind to them changed their faces, and looked at Meng Yuxuan with hostile eyes, as if she was a heinous villain.

Feng'er has always been good-tempered, and this time she was very angry.She said angrily: "Huanerniang and the others must be playing tricks. Xierniang, what should I do now?"

"Leave quickly! Those of you from your hometown, the officials will not arrest you. But if you don't leave, we will not be polite." An old man said, blowing his beard.

"Master, don't listen to them. The hawthorn cake made by Xierniang is really delicious, and there is no problem." Feng'er was anxious. "Xi'erniang, think of a way."

Looking at the expressions of those people, Meng Yuxuan already predicted what would happen next.She shook her head slightly and said, "Forget it. They won't believe it."

"Mother..." Shangguanxi pulled Meng Yuxuan's clothes and said in fear, "They are so scary. Let's go!"

"Xi'er, your mother's stuff hasn't been sold yet!" Feng'er said anxiously, "I can't pick it up again. Then the people in the village can't laugh their ass off?"

"Sister-in-law Feng'er, you and Heizi are here to wait for Aunt Lin! Xi'er and I are leaving first. We will talk when we go back if we have anything to say." Meng Yuxuan picked up the burden and led Shangguanxi away from the chaotic vegetable market.

"Xi Erniang... Xi Erniang... Hey! Don't leave yet! You explain to everyone, and everyone will believe you." Feng'er shouted towards Meng Yuxuan's back.

Shangguanxi looked at Meng Yuxuan who was carrying the burden.He wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it, he seemed hesitant to speak.

Meng Yuxuan glanced at him, smiled lightly and said, "Just say what you want to say, what kind of words are mother-in-law and mother-in-law?"

"Mother, don't be sad." Shangguanxi said.

"Stupid child, mother is not sad. After what happened yesterday, I thought about this possibility. I just didn't expect it to happen." Meng Yuxuan said. "Actually, when I was at the stall on West Street just now, I felt that this was not acceptable. There was a mix of mermaids and everything sold there. Our hawthorn cake was just one of the ordinary snacks there. Chickens, ducks, wild vegetables, Shaobing and so on made our hawthorn jelly tasteless. In addition, hawthorn jelly is really not a rare thing. No matter how delicious it is, not many people are interested in it.”

"So mother thought so much just now. I saw you standing there, and thought you couldn't sell anything!!" Shangguanxi looked at Meng Yuxuan adoringly.

"I really don't want to sell things like this. I was a little embarrassed when I saw that scene just now." Meng Yuxuan said narrowly.

"Then where are we going now? Go home?" Shangguan Xi said.

Meng Yuxuan looked at the teahouse opposite, and blinked at him: "This is it."

Looking at the signboard of the teahouse, Shangguanxi read softly: Yellow Crane Qingfeng Pavilion.

Next to it is a couplet. The first couplet reads: Black hair does not know how to study early; the second couplet reads: Bai Shoufang regrets studying late.

"There is an academy not far away. It used to be the favorite place for literati and students to come to. But the head of the academy opened a study in the academy, so fewer people came here, and naturally there was no business." Meng Yuxuan explained . "I used to be a maid of the Li family, and I heard someone say it when I was out of the house to do some errands."

"Mother is going to sell the hawthorn cake to the boss here? But you also said that there is no business here. Is the boss here willing to buy our hawthorn cake?" Shangguanxi asked puzzled.

"We have to try everything. If we don't ask, how do we know that the boss is not willing to buy it? Maybe he needs an opportunity, and we also need an opportunity." Meng Yuxuan said.

Stepping into the Qingfeng Pavilion of the Yellow Crane, an old man is sitting at the table carefully tasting the tea in the cup.Hearing the sound, he raised his head and saw Meng Yuxuan carrying the burden.
