The next morning, Su Xiaowan sent Xixi to Su Ting, then carried a bucket of water and took a ox cart to the market.

Many people in the village saw her carrying jelly to buy whenever she went to the market, and asked her, "How much can you make in a day selling this, Northern wife?"

Before this, Su Xiaowan was almost always busy preparing for the birth of a son, except for working in the fields and vegetable gardens.

Ever since Xiao Beiguo said that, she seemed to have changed. Not only did she stop clamoring for a son, she also started doing business and was very good to her daughter.

Many women in the village envy Su Xiaowan because she is beautiful and lucky enough to have a man who loves her.

Su Xiaowan smiled and said, "How much can this kind of thing sell for? I have no choice. I am the only one doing this in Beiguo. I originally wanted to have a son, but he was not happy. I have nothing to do now, so I can only find something to do to make some pocket money."

This is human nature. No matter how much money you make, you cannot tell others about it. There are many people who cannot stand to see others do well.

"That's right. Most people don't eat this. Only people in the city would find it novel."

Su Xiaowan smiled and said nothing more. Along the way, she listened to other people chatting. She hardly spoke, and those people were used to it.

When they arrived at the market, Su Xiaowan put the things on display as usual, and people came to buy one after another.

These days, after tasting the jelly she made, people not only come back to buy it, but also introduce other people to buy it.

It was soon ten o'clock. Su Xiaowan made more today than usual, but only half of it was sold.

But the cold-mixed Houttuynia cordata dish she made was not popular.

Looking at the red and white Houttuynia cordata, Su Xiaowan swallowed her saliva. It was so delicious, but no one wanted to eat it.

She was so hot that she simply took a bowl and filled it with half a bowl of Houttuynia cordata to eat.

A woman who was eating jelly nearby asked in surprise, "Girl, can you eat this grass?"

Su Xiaowan nodded and did not forget to explain, "Sister, this is Houttuynia cordata, it is good to eat, it has anti-inflammatory effects."

"Is it true?" The woman was a little skeptical. Seeing how delicious the food Su Xiaowan was eating, she felt like eating it.

Su Xiaowan scooped some and handed it to her, "Sister, try it. This thing is really appetizing. I added some vinegar, it's sour and spicy and delicious."

The woman took a bite and exclaimed, "Sister, your cooking skills are amazing. This thing is so delicious."

As he spoke, he finished eating them in no time, looking unsatisfied.

"Girl, how much do you sell this for? I want to buy some, it's delicious."

"50 cents a pound, sister."

The woman was a little embarrassed, "It's so expensive."

"Sister, this is not expensive. I added chili powder and vinegar. These are homemade. You will know the taste after you have eaten it. It must be good."

"Okay, give me two kilograms. I have a large family and it's hot, so everyone said they didn't want to eat it. If they all like it, I'll buy more later."

"Okay." Su Xiaowan weighed two kilograms quickly, took the money, and couldn't help but feel relieved.

If it tastes good, there is no need to worry about no one buying it.

Gradually, some Houttuynia cordata was sold, but there were still four or five pounds left. However, there was still some jelly left after selling it.

Watching the crowd gradually decrease, Su Xiaowan sighed in her heart. She was still too careless.

There are only so many people in this city, and even though everyone likes to eat, they will inevitably get tired of it if they eat too much.

Thinking of this, she became even more worried. She had to think of other ways to make money and couldn't always rely on this.

Su Xiaowan was sweating profusely from the heat. She served herself a bowl of jelly and sat down to eat.

Suddenly, a man about twenty-five or twenty-six years old appeared, pointing at the Houttuynia cordata and asked.

"Girl, how much do you sell this for?"

"50 cents a pound, how much do you want? If you buy a lot, I can give you a discount."

If you can sell them all, the cheaper the better. It won’t be a waste.

"Is that all?" The man glanced at the basket behind her.

"It's all here, isn't it enough?"

Su Xiaowan said hurriedly, "If you want more, I can make it and send it to you tomorrow."

"Then weigh these first, and I'll take a look later."

The man looked at the jelly and asked, "How much do you sell this for?"

"A whole piece is 10 cents, and a cut piece is 10 cents for two bowls. Do you want two bowls?"

The man nodded. "Give me a bowl and pack up the rest. I want them all."

Su Xiaowan was a little surprised, "You want them all?" That's a lot.

"Nothing to pack?" The man realized that her bag might not be full.

"If it's convenient for you, girl, just follow me. I'm the owner of the Minsheng Canteen at the end of the street.

"It's convenient. You eat first and I'll put the things away."

Su Xiaowan was secretly delighted, thinking that she had met a noble person.

After the man finished eating, he led Su Xiaowan towards the cafeteria, and they arrived there in about five minutes.

"Wait here for a moment. I'll have someone find something to put it in."

After a while, two men in chef's clothes followed the man, each holding a basin.

Su Xiaowan put the jelly and houttuynia into the basin separately, and then said to the man, "The jelly is six yuan in total, and the houttuynia is seven pounds, fifty cents a pound, which is three yuan and a half, nine yuan and a half in total."

The man handed her ten dollars and asked, "Girl, can you do anything else besides this?"

Su Xiaowan was a little puzzled and asked with a smile, "What does the boss want?"

The man was not vague and said frankly, "The weather has been hot recently, and there are fewer diners. I wanted to make some appetizers. I wonder what you can cook."

"How about smashed cucumbers?" In her previous life, Su Xiaowan went to the city with Xiao Beiguo. People at that time liked this the most in summer.

“We have this here too.”

The man was obviously not interested and just said, "You sell this in that place every day?"

"I only come when there is market time. If there is a need and if you need a lot, I can deliver it."

Su Xiaowan wanted to get the canteen business, after all, it was a very expensive business.

"Let me take a look first. If anyone likes this, I'll come back to you later."

The man said, taking out a business card and handing it to Su Xiaowan, "This is my business card, what's your name, sister?"

"Hello, Boss Song, my name is Su Xiaowan." Su Xiaowan smiled slightly, her eyes curved.

Song Nancheng smiled and said, "Okay, if I need these later, I'll come find you here today."

"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore." Su Xiaowan walked out carrying two buckets and a shoulder pole.

Song Nancheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw the fleeting disappointment in Su Xiaowan's eyes.

He turned around and instructed the people behind him, "Give these things to the customers who come here for free at noon. Arrange the portions accordingly."

Su Xiaowan went to the market, bought some meat and snacks, and then hurried home.

It was already very late and the ox carts had all left without waiting for her. Fortunately, she met an ox cart from the next village and was able to take it back.

As soon as I got home, I heard Xixi crying and Su Ting's voice comforting her.

Su Xiaowan's heart skipped a beat and she rushed into the yard, only to see Su Ting holding Xixi under the eaves.

There was a big bump on the little girl's forehead, which was bruised and purple.

"Hee Hee!"
