Xia Tian heard someone shouting at the door, so he went out of the house and opened the door. It turned out to be Mrs. Yao.

"Sister-in-law, are you looking for me?"

"The clothes are ready, I've brought them to you."

"So fast?" Xia Tian asked in disbelief.

Sister Yao smoothed her hair with her hand and said in a light voice, "My mother-in-law helped sew it. What do you think?"

As Mrs. Yao spoke, she handed the clothes in her hand to Xia Tian.

Xia Tian took the clothes and pulled Sister Yao's arm, "Come on, sister-in-law, let's go into the house and talk."

After the two entered the house, Xia Tian couldn't wait to pick up the clothes and try them on himself, and then looked at the stitches. The stitches on each piece of clothing were so fine, no worse than those sewn by a sewing machine.

"Sister-in-law, you sew so well." Xia Tian happily thanked Sister-in-law Yao!

She finally has new clothes to wear, and they are handmade!

She has been here for almost two months, and she wears the same two patched clothes every day.

It will be useless if you wash it again.

This time, Sister Yao helped her sew three pieces of clothing. One of them was the one that Shen Nian had asked Sister Yao to sew for her last time. She had put it aside because she had no needle and thread.

Mrs. Yao was also happy. She could earn dozens of cents just by doing some manual labor. How great!

"As long as you like it! Try it on and see if it fits you."

"It will definitely fit. Sister-in-law's craftsmanship is impeccable." Xia Tian said as he took off his coat, put on the burgundy one, and opened his arms to show Sister-in-law Yao.

"Okay, it fits me well. I look much better in this new dress." Mrs. Yao joked with a smile.

However, she saw that Xia Tian was indeed much whiter than when she first met him, and he was no longer the frail person who would fall over if blown by the wind.

"That's right! But sister-in-law's cooking skills are still better, hehe."

"Sister-in-law, wait a minute. I'll get some clothes for Brother Shen to try on."

Xia Tian took the clothes to the upper room and asked Shen Nian to try them on. They all fit well.

He took out thirty cents and gave them to Mrs. Yao.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you!"

"What are you talking about? I've also benefited from it. My sister-in-law should be thanking you. She's the one who thinks of me when it comes to making money."

The two chatted for a while about her stall today, and then Mrs. Yao left.

In the summer, I took out the new clothes and washed them in the river first.

After hanging up the clothes, I went into the kitchen and looked at the braised large intestines in the pot. They were almost cooked. In summer, I turned down the heat and let them continue to braise.

There are only two stoves in the kitchen, and braised dishes take up one.

You can only use the other one for cooking.

I thought about just making noodles.

Today the butcher gave me a big bone. Xia Tian washed it first, then split it into two pieces with a knife, lit a small stove, and boiled the bone soup first.

He kneaded the dough skillfully and set it aside to rise.

I'll make some oil-splashed noodles later.

It would take a while to cook the soup, so Xiatian left the kitchen and went to the backyard vegetable garden to pick some vegetables, chopped them up and mixed them with some cornmeal, then poured them into the chicken bowl. He also poured a basin of water and dropped a few drops of spiritual spring water into the water.

This was the last time when two chickens looked listless, as if they were sick.

After feeding it some diluted spiritual spring water in the summer, it soon recovered to its full vitality as before. Then we discovered that spiritual spring water also has effects on animals.

After that, she would drop a few drops of spiritual spring water into the water the chickens drank every few days, and from then on, the chickens never got sick again.

The chickens in the backyard have been caught for more than a month. They are already half grown and will probably start laying eggs in two months.

After feeding the chickens, I pulled out the weeds in the vegetable garden.

The eggplant, pepper and tomato seedlings planted in the field have grown to knee height.

The beans, cucumbers and loofah vines have grown to her chest, and she builds a bamboo rack for them in the summer.

It looks like it's growing well, so I guess we'll have fresh vegetables to eat soon.

Seeing that it was almost time, Xiatian picked a few green onions and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.

Shen Nian also came out and stood under the apricot tree in the yard, not knowing what he was thinking about.

In the summer, I took out two pieces of dried tofu, fried them with the pork belly left over from lunch, and also fried some shredded potatoes.

Boil water, roll out the noodles, cut them into the width of your palm, pinch both ends, pull and tug, and the noodles will be two fingers wide. Throw them into the boiling water pot, and soon two large bowls of pulled noodles will be ready.

Put minced garlic, chili powder, chopped green onion, etc. in the bowl, take the soup pot off the small stove, use an iron spoon to heat some oil, and pour it into the bowl with a "sizzle". The aroma comes out instantly.

Xiatian brought out the dishes and noodles and placed them on the table in the yard. He then went to the kitchen to scoop out a large bowl of bone soup, sprinkled some chopped green onions on it, and started eating.

Shen Nian had never eaten noodles like this before, so he mixed them according to Xia Tian’s instructions, took a bite, and his eyes lit up.

good to eat!

Xia Tian picked up some shredded potatoes with clean chopsticks and placed them in Shen Nian's bowl. He smiled and said, "Brother Shen, the vegetables taste better if you mix them in the bowl."

Shen Nian tried it and nodded, "Yeah, not bad."

The two of them didn't bother to talk and just focused on eating!

The next morning, Xia Tian got up and Shen Nian also got up early.

After having breakfast together, she packed the necessary things into two baskets and carried them to the town on a shoulder pole.

As soon as I got near the stall, I saw a lot of people gathered there.

"Nothing will happen, right?" Xia Tian thought and quickened his pace.

As soon as she arrived, someone discovered her.

"The boss is here!"

"Boss, why are you here just now? I've been waiting for a long time."

"Oh, move aside and let the boss in."

……

Everyone was talking at once, and Xia Tian finally understood that these people were waiting for her.

I breathed a sigh of relief, as long as everything was fine!

Xia Tian put down her carrying pole, and everyone helped her set the table.

She quickly took out the things and saw the uncle who was the first to buy her braised food yesterday. He squeezed in the front and held a copper coin in front of her eyes, "Give me ten cents."

"I want it too, I want it too."

"I want five cents."

"I want three pence."

Everyone came forward with money and squeezed forward to buy.

Xia Tian was in a hurry. While collecting money, he skillfully wrapped the large intestine with oil paper. "Don't worry, everyone, we have it all."

"I came here first, fill it up first." A person who bought something yesterday squeezed in front of him and said, "Yesterday at noon, I wanted to come over to buy more, but you had already closed your stall. I can't miss it today."

"Thank you for your support, it will be ready soon!" Xia Tian was also very happy. It seemed that the business was a success.

I had thought that since today wasn’t a market day, it would take half a day!

As a result, she sold out in less than half an hour.

I couldn’t buy pig intestines, so I bought dried tofu as a second choice. After trying it, I found that dried tofu was also delicious.

It’s salty, spicy, fresh and fragrant, just as good as meat.

Three sets of pig intestines and ten pounds of dried tofu were all sold out.

Several people in the queue behind her hadn't bought anything yet, so they pulled her aside and asked when she would come tomorrow.

She quickly promised everyone that she would do more tomorrow and come at this time today, and then everyone let her go.

After everyone left, Xia Tian touched the sweat on his head, thinking about how busy she had been.

Never stopped for a moment.

The lady selling wontons at the stall next to her saw that Xia Tian was finally free and said enviously, "Girl, your business is booming."

My aunt lives in the town, and many people eat wontons there. Xia Tian smiled and replied to my aunt, "Auntie, your wontons are also selling very well. Look at that table, it's never empty."

"I have been selling this craft here for many years, and all my customers are old customers," the old lady said with a proud smile.

"That lady's cooking skills must be amazing. I must try it next time."

Xia Tian chatted with the old lady from time to time, put away the buckets, basins and bowls and put them into the basket, but did not leave. The yamen runners had not come to collect the management fee today, so Xia Tian was waiting at the stall.

After chatting with the old lady for a while, she saw the yamen runner coming over. She handed him the five-cent management fee and took out the braised large intestine and dried tofu that she had prepared separately and gave them to the yamen runner.

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Cha. This package of braised dishes is for you to eat with your wine!" Xia Tian said with a smile.

The person who came to collect the management fee today happened to be the policeman who brought her to see the stall that day.

The big brother took it and said with a cheerful face, "Thank you, boss." Seeing Xia Tian closing up his stall so early, he asked curiously, "It's sold out so quickly?"

"Well, everyone, thanks for your support. I haven't prepared much for today." Xia Tian also replied with a smile.

The yamen runner saw that Xia Tian was young and quite understanding of human relationships, so he secretly decided to take better care of him in the future.

After a few words, the brother went back to collect the management fees.

She said hello to the old lady and picked up the basket to buy things for tomorrow.
