"Mom, I bought the tables and chairs. Ouch, I'm dying of heat. The shopkeeper immediately sent someone to deliver them. I went to two stores and finally bought similar tables and chairs. They had all been ordered in advance. I went to buy them suddenly, but they refused to sell them. I had to pay more before they were willing to sell me the tables and chairs that others had ordered first."

Jiang Eryong came in from the backyard.

He was panting and sweating all over.

As he spoke, he unbuttoned his outer and inner garments.

Exposing the chest.

Humming comfortably.

"Hurry up and button up your clothes. You are sweating and you can't be blown by the wind. Besides, your sister-in-law and the others are here. Be careful. Oh, my heart, my dear granddaughter, why did you take off your coat? Put it on quickly. What if you catch a cold?"

Zhang Jinlan had just finished scolding her second son.

Then I found Jiang Fubao sitting under the tree in his underwear.

She was horrified.

Rushed over in one step.

Jiang Fubao was wrapped tightly again.

"Grandma, I'm hot."

Jiang Fubao sighed.

It feels cold.

Make grandma feel she is cold.

"You can't take off your clothes even if it's hot. It's only a little hot during the day. Just bear with it. It will get cooler as the sun sets. When the mung bean soup is ready, grandma will serve you a bowl. You'll feel better immediately."

Zhang Jinlan can compromise on anything, except matters concerning her granddaughter's health.

She was determined not to back down.

Coax your granddaughter well.

She returned to the kitchen to continue cooking the mung bean soup.

After the tables and chairs were delivered and the shop was cleaned, Jiang Dahe came back from selling eggs.

A big pot of mung bean soup is finally ready.

Zhang Jinlan generously added a lot of sugar.

It tastes sweet.

"Yamato, take the big vat to the river, clean it, fill it with water, wait for the mung bean soup to cool for a while, pour it into the medium vat, and then put the medium vat in the big vat to cool."

It's almost noon.

Wait until you finish eating.

Zhang Jinlan prepared to open the door and sell food.

Hot day.

If the mung bean soup is not cold, even if it is sweet, I guess no one will buy it.

Just let it cool down quickly.

"Eryong, go to the street and buy some pancakes, two per person, just eat something to fill your stomach. If everything is sold out today, buy a pound of meat and go home to have a good meal in the evening."

The purse is still with the second son.

After Zhang Jinlan finished speaking, Jiang Eryong walked out quickly.

When he came back, he was holding two packages of cakes wrapped in green leaves.

One pancake is as big as a human face.

There are some diced radish and chopped green onions in it.

It tastes salty when you take a bite.

Jiang Fubao doesn't like to eat much.

She ate half of it.

After dinner, everyone sat in the yard and rested for a while.

During this time, Jiang Siyin washed the pebbles and placed them in a ceramic basin and heated them to boiling point. Jiang Yahe also changed the water in the mung bean soup four times, and it finally cooled down.

It's still hot on the stove.

Zhu Yingqiu added firewood and started to make sweet and sour potatoes.

After having vinegar.

The flavor of the potatoes was taken to another level.

Sour, sweet, spicy and fragrant.

It's so delicious.

"Swallow, put the sausages on the cobblestones. The shop will be open soon."

After the whole pot of potatoes was cooked, Zhu Yingqiu removed the firewood from under the stove.

After washing the bamboo tube and wooden bowl, Zhang Jinlan gave instructions to her daughter-in-law.

"Mom, how many should we put first? There are thirty-five here." Zhang Yanzi asked.

"Let's put fifteen first. If we can't sell them, we can take the rest home and sell them tomorrow, or we can eat them at home, and we can save the trouble of buying meat."

Zhang Jinlan was sweating profusely from the heat.

She took the handkerchief from her waist and washed her face in the water.

This feels much more comfortable.

Late noon.

The shop opened.

Because it is a trial operation.

No firecrackers were set off.

Zhang Jinlan asked her eldest and second sons to bring the pottery basin to the door, and then she stood outside shouting.

"Look, look, when it's hot, you have to have a bowl of sweet and cool mung bean soup. It's been left to cool down all morning, and then cooled with cold river water. It's so hot that it takes a lot of sugar to make you feel better. A bowl costs only three cents.

There are also delicious small potatoes, ten cents a bowl, I guarantee you have never seen or tasted them before, look, this delicious grilled sausage is full of meat, twenty cents a piece! While stocks last."

When Zhang Jinlan gave the quotation, Jiang Dahe, who was guarding the pottery basin, felt very guilty.

The price my mother mentioned is too high.

I’m afraid no one will buy it.

"What? Mung bean soup for three cents? Why don't you go and grab some? The teahouse in front also sells mung bean soup. A bowl only costs two cents, and they also put sugar in it."

The man passing by curled his lips and spoke loudly.

"That's right, they're too expensive. Mung bean soup is okay, it's just one cent more, but what the hell are these potatoes? Why are they so expensive, ten cents? They don't sound like meat, only a fool would eat them. And the grilled sausage, even if it's meat, it can't be sold for twenty cents. How much is a pound of meat? I have this money, why shouldn't I buy meat?"

Someone is causing trouble.

There were suddenly twenty or thirty people gathered at the door.

Zhang Jinlan was not panicked at all.

She turned her head and winked at her two sons.

The latter took a palm-leaf fan and began to fan himself.

The aroma of grilled sausages wafted out all at once.

The noisy crowd suddenly became quiet.

"What's that smell? It smells so good, even better than the braised meat I ate in Chang'an Town. Oh my god, boss, is this smell coming from your shop? What smells so good?"

A fat man who looked to be in his thirties squeezed out of the crowd.

He walked up to Zhang Jinlan and asked curiously.

"Oh, the aroma you smell is the grilled sausage sold in my shop, twenty cents per piece."

Zhang Jinlan proudly held up two fingers.

It waved in front of the fat man's eyes.

"Twenty cents?! The price is not bad. Is it delicious?" After hearing the price, the fat man did not think it was expensive, unlike others. He swallowed and asked Zhang Jinlan again.

"Of course it's delicious. I guarantee that after you eat one, you'll want to buy another one."

The sausage is cooked.

Listen to my granddaughter, they made a lot of bamboo sticks last night.

When selling, just put the sausages on bamboo sticks and hand them to the customers.

It is very convenient to eat with your hands, saving chopsticks and bowls.

The granddaughter said that it was taught by the immortals.

No wonder they are immortals, they are just smarter than mortals.

Zhang Jinlan thought to herself.

"Okay, then give me one. If it's as delicious as you say, I'll buy five and take them back. But if it's not, I'll spit every time I pass by your shop."

The fat man took out his wallet.

He counted out twenty copper coins from it.

Put it in Zhang Jinlan's hands.

"Okay, Yamato, let's skewer a sausage for the guest."

As soon as I shouted, customers came.

Zhang Jinlan was extremely happy.

Her eyebrows were raised high.

Even the wrinkles around the eyes have been smoothed out a lot.

Jiang Dahe is very fast.

He picked out the most cooked sausage, skewered it, and handed it to the fat man.

“Is it this big?” The fat man didn’t expect the real thing to be so small.

Only as thick as two little fingers.
