I married a playboy at the beginning, and I changed my fate by eating delicious food

"Second aunt, are you sick?"

Seeing Xu Si bringing him to the pharmacy, Qi Ning immediately asked worriedly, his little face wrinkled.

"No, I came here to buy some ingredients to make sour plum soup when I get home."

Xu Si fanned himself with his hands and could only feel the heat.

She just passed by a dried fruit shop and saw black plums and dried hawthorns on sale. She immediately thought of the sour and sweet plum soup that could cool her down and quench her thirst.

I bought dried fruits, and the rest of the ingredients can only be found at the pharmacy.

Qi Ning finally felt relieved, "If Second Aunt is sick, you must tell me. You can't hide it from me."

"Okay, okay, listen to our Qining." Xu Si gently pulled the corners of Qining's mouth upwards until he couldn't hold back his laughter, and then he stopped his hands from making trouble.

That's right, it's better for children to be happy.

Xu Si told the clerk in the drugstore what he needed, which were all common items, and they were quickly ordered.

When we got home, everyone was sitting in the living room.

"A Si, I left some rice for you in the pot. No one has much appetite, so I just made something casually." Lou Yue felt too hot to move and looked a little wilted.

Xu Si nodded. She felt that she had not yet digested the rice dumplings she had eaten in the morning, so she sat down to catch her breath.

"What is this? A Si, are you sick?" Su Jinyue, who was standing next to her, saw the medicine bag in her hand and asked with concern.

Everyone sat up straight in an instant and looked at her.

Seeing that Lou Yuexin was about to reach out and touch her head to check, she quickly said, "No, I'm planning to make sour plum soup. Here, there are some dried fruits that need to be used."

Everyone was relieved, because Qinghuan had always been sick before, and they were very sensitive to this word.

"That's good. If you are sick, tell us so we can get treatment and get better sooner." Lou Yuexin instructed.

Xu Si nodded, very moved, and did not forget to express his thoughts.

"I plan to sell sour plum soup tomorrow, so we can make a small profit."

“Will anyone buy it?”

"Yes, I saw the dragon boats at the dock today. You think, when we are watching the dragon boat race outside in such a hot weather tomorrow, if there is a cup of icy sour plum soup now, I'm sure everyone will be willing to have a cup."

Everyone put themselves in the other's shoes and thought that it was very feasible.

"Okay, we will listen to you on this matter." Lou Yuexin said with a smile.

Ah Si is a great contributor to the family. If it weren't for her leadership, they wouldn't be able to do this food business. All they can do is trust her and work hard with her.

Xu Si had a simple meal and then began to make sour plum soup to taste it himself first.

Authentic sour plum soup requires 8 ingredients.

Black plum, hawthorn, roselle, dried mulberry, mint leaves, tangerine peel, liquorice and rock sugar.

Divide the Xu Si according to the proportion, wash it and put it into the pot, add water and soak it for 20 minutes, cover it after boiling, turn to low heat, cook for another half an hour, add rock sugar and simmer for a while, and remove the residue.

Finally, it is hung in the well to cool down.

The wine-red sour plum soup looks very good, and one serving makes exactly 8 cups.

"It feels very refreshing to drink, the sweetness is just right, and it's cool and very comfortable." Shen Anyi took a big gulp, let out a long breath, and felt much more sober.

"What price should I set, considering that it contains both sugar and medicinal herbs?" Lou Yuexin thought as she took small sips.

"The cost of this is about 10 cents, and we can produce 8 cups in total. How about 2 cents?" Xu Si suggested.

If it's more expensive, people might not buy it. But at 2 cents, it can quench thirst and sweeten the mouth, so people will buy it if they drink it occasionally.

"Sure, a small profit would be great."

"What about the cup?"

"Go buy some. You never know when you may need them. When selling sour plum soup, just like with plates, you need a deposit first." Xu Si felt the sweet aftertaste in his mouth and quickly gave a solution.

"Okay, I'll buy it later." Shen Anyi nodded.

Seeing that everyone else was still sipping, he regretted the way he drank just now.

Lou Yuexin smiled gently and gave him half of her own.

Shen Anyi was very happy and squeezed his wife's hand in a corner where no one could see.

Qinghuan had been having a hard summer recently, with a poor appetite and feeling listless all day, but now the symptoms seem to be somewhat relieved.

Also, because his body cannot get cold, he waited for the drink to warm up in his mouth for a while before swallowing it. Even so, he felt very satisfied.

In the afternoon, Shen Anyi and Shen Jingchuan bought cups from outside, 100 small wooden cups of uniform size.

Xu Si and a few others were planning to take it over to wash it.

Then Shen Anyi said, "Jingchuan and I can't sell sour plum soup with you tomorrow."

"What's wrong?" Lou Yuexin asked, looking at her husband with some confusion.

"When Jingchuan and I went to buy cups, we found a notice posted on the road saying that if you participate in the dragon boat race, if the boat you row wins, you can share two taels of silver."

"Two taels of silver? That's a lot. How many people are on that boat?"

"Ten people."

Lou Yue thought for a moment and said, "Then each person will get 200 coins."

"Yes, if we are lucky enough to win, we will have 400 coins."

There was some eagerness in Shen Anyi's eyes.

"I just don't know if you can handle it?" He said a little worriedly.

"Don't worry, it's okay. We can make it in advance and sell it at the end." Xu Si said.

"Then thank you for your hard work."

Soon, the Dragon Boat Festival arrived, and early in the morning, Lou Yuexin hung mugwort at the door.

It is said that mugwort represents good fortune and is a medicinal herb that can cure diseases. Putting it at the door can make you healthy.

"Here, each of you has a small sachet. They are all hung up." Lou Yuexin took out several small sachets and distributed them to everyone. These were what she and Su Jinyue had made these past few days.

Xu Si had never worn a sachet before, so it was a bit novel for him now.

The sachet is small and exquisite, and if you look closely you will see that it is made of five kinds of silk threads.

She leaned in and smelled it, the aroma was overwhelming.

Seeing this, Lou Yuexin smiled and explained, "It contains some aromatic Chinese herbal medicines that can invigorate the mind. They have the effects of refreshing fragrance, repelling insects, avoiding plague, and preventing diseases."

Xu Si nodded, somewhat reluctant to let it go, and wore it carefully on his chest.

"There are also five-colored strings, Ah Si, let mother put them on you."

After putting them on Qi Ning and Qing Huan, Lou Yue Xin said to Xu Si with a smile.

"Ah, that's for children. I'm that old now." Xu Si felt a little embarrassed.

"You're not older at all. You're only four years older than Qinghuan. In mother's eyes, you're still a child," Lou Yuexin put the mask on Xu Si gently and looked at him carefully.

"And it's also good as a bracelet, it's so pretty."

Xu Si was somewhat moved and couldn't help but hug Lou Yuexin.

Qi Ning looked at the same rope as his own and smiled. He took Qing Huan's hand and placed them next to Xu Si's hand. The three identical colorful ropes looked extremely harmonious.
