The poor little girl who traveled through the book, her father was lazy, her mother was stingy, and

Lin Jingzhe, who went with the aunt to get the bowl, came back soon.

Five little rascals followed behind him.

Each little kid held a bowl of different sizes in his hands.

Lin Jingzhe was like a child king leading the way, and he would look back from time to time to take care of the younger ones.

"Xiaoman," Lin Jingzhe ran to Lin Xiaoman, smiling with eyebrows raised, "Give me five servings of jelly."

He was just following to bring back the bowl.

After all, a bowl is worth a lot of money.

Unexpectedly, I met a group of little rascals who surrounded the little girl and asked her all kinds of questions.

He didn't dare shout at the passers-by, but he was not so timid to the children.

After a few words, the children rushed home to ask their adults for money.

So this came about.

"Sister, we want jelly too." The five little rascals spoke in unison.

There was no adult following Little Radish Head, so Lin Xiaoman looked at Lin Jingzhe and asked, "Where are their adults?"

You can’t sell things to children randomly, otherwise you won’t be able to explain yourself later.

Lin Jingzhe explained: "Xiaoman, these kids saw that the little girl had food, so they also pestered the adults for food. The copper coins in their hands were given by the adults."

These words really scared Li Taohua.

In Dayi Town, can a child just run around with four copper coins?

Lin Dajiang was also surprised, but he remained calm and did not show it.

"Our Shanglin Village is still too poor." Li Taohua sighed, and then she hurriedly helped Lin Xiaoman to do it.

With the help of Li Taohua, Lin Xiaoman quickly prepared five servings of jelly.

"Come here, little kid, four coppers a bowl.

"Thank you sister."

Little Radish Head handed the copper coin to Li Taohua and walked back carefully protecting the jelly.

The chubby little boy in the lead reached out and secretly tasted a little, then immediately opened his eyes wide and turned around to ask Lin Xiaoman: "Sister, will you come to the market next time?"

"Come on!" Lin Xiaoman smiled with his eyes narrowed into slits.

The fat baby got the answer and quickly caught up with the main group.

Chirping and making a lot of noise.

The guy with the bamboo basket came over with two bowls.

"Aunt, I, I have washed this bowl." The young man's honest face was covered with sweat.

Li Taohua took the bowl from his hand and said politely, "Oh, next time just give me the bowl."

"Aunt, it's just something I did casually." The young man thought that this thing called jelly was simply delicious.

It's icy cool and slippery when you put it in your mouth.

Mixed with ordinary cucumber shreds, added with vinegar and sauce, it tastes so good.

Wow, it’s really unforgettable.

Liangfen is a new product in Dayi Town. Anyone who has tried it, as long as they have a few coins at home, will buy some to try.

But we are still a bit poor these days.

Most of the people who buy jelly are from Dayi Town. Those who come to the market from nearby villages rarely buy it to eat.

Only if a boy asks for it will I reluctantly have a bowl of it.

After noon, there was still some jelly left, and Lin Xiaoman estimated that there were still two bowls left.

Li Taohua smiled widely. She was already satisfied that she could sell so much jelly without wasting two kilograms of flour.

Lin Xiaoman didn't plan to wait any longer.

I planned to close my stall and go to the shopkeeper who used to sell rabbits to see if I could do some business.

Two pounds of flour cost seventy cents, and thirty-eight bowls were sold, at four cents a bowl, for a total of one hundred and fifty-two cents.

The firewood, sauces, side dishes, and utensils all cost twenty cents.

Excluding labor costs, the whole family got up earlier than the chickens and worked until noon but only earned 62 cents!

Lin Xiaoman held his forehead with his hand.

That’s it, and there are only two episodes a month.

At this rate, when will she be able to achieve freedom to eat meat?

It seems that besides selling jelly, we need to think of other ways.

Lin Xiaoman pulled Lin Jingzhe and chattered for a while, then closed the stall in the puzzled looks of Li Taohua and Lin Dajiang.

The guy next door who was selling bamboo baskets asked curiously, "Uncle, aunt, are you sold out?"

Lin Dajiang nodded.

"When will you be back?"

The young man smiled innocently: "Uncle, we have to wait until dark before returning. Maybe we'll have better luck. My father is still saving money to marry me off."

Lin Dajiang glanced at the old man and saw that he was working non-stop on weaving bamboo baskets. He smiled and said, "You will definitely be able to get married soon."

—

Lin Dajiang pulled the cart and put Guyu and Lidong on the cart.

Li Taohua walked behind and protected the two children.

Lin Xiaoman followed behind Lin Jingzhe.

Whisper a few words from time to time.

Passing by the Yingke Tower, Lin Xiaoman took a special look at it.

The dining hall on the first floor was almost full of people.

"Brother, has the business at Yingkelou always been so good?"

"Yes, there are only two restaurants in Dayi Town, and Yingkelou is the largest restaurant in town. It's prestigious to come here!"

Lin Xiaoman seemed to be thinking about something, and followed Lin Jingzhe to Ruyi Tower.

Ruyi Restaurant is slightly less popular.

At noon, the tables in the lobby on the first floor were not fully occupied, with only a few people sitting there.

The two waiters were busy and did not notice Lin Jingzhe outside the store.

However, Shopkeeper Tong, who was sighing and shaking his head, recognized the familiar face at first sight.

He went out himself and asked anxiously, "Did you bring the hare this time?"

Lin Jingzhe smiled embarrassedly.

I've been busy catching long-bearded insects recently, and I forgot about selling rabbits.

The female rabbit gave birth to a litter of baby rabbits, and another female rabbit was pregnant again.

Shopkeeper Tong bought all four male rabbits brought this time. Still considering how fat the rabbits were, he charged one hundred and twenty cents for each one.

After buying the rabbits, Shopkeeper Tong thought of keeping three of them and picking one to send to his employer.

But the inconspicuous little girl called him Uncle Tong with a smile.

After calling out, the little girl, with a smile on her face, slowly opened an ordinary bucket and looked at him with a pair of smiling black eyes.

"Uncle Tong, would you like to try the jelly we made? It's delicious, fresh and refreshing. You can't stop eating it."

Shopkeeper Tong asked the waiter to take the rabbit into the kitchen, and he led a few people to the private room on the second floor.

Li Taohua stayed at the door and watched the children and the cart.

After entering the box, Shopkeeper Tong kept staring at the jelly in Lin Xiaoman's hand.

"This... looks like pasta?"

"Uncle Tong, you'll know after you try it." Lin Xiaoman kept the secret.

She was actually a little nervous.

Lin Dajiang and Li Taohua are native Shanglin people and have never left their county in their lives.

Although Manager Tong looks honest, as the owner of a restaurant, he is definitely more knowledgeable than Lin Dajiang.

Shopkeeper Tong picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. It tasted sour and refreshing and was very appetizing.

I subconsciously picked up another piece.

"This jelly is good." Shopkeeper Tong looked at Lin Xiaoman, "Did you make this yourself?"

Lin Xiaoman tried hard not to laugh, "Yes, Uncle Tong, you think it's good too? Can you sell this Ruyi Building?"

Shopkeeper Tong stroked his short beard, pursed his lips and glanced at Lin Dajiang.

"It can be sold, but it depends on how it is sold..."
