The person who wanted to buy Baixinzao dumpling from Songmen was surnamed Zhang, the eldest in the family, and his name was Zhang Dalang.Zhang Dalang came to guard Bai Xin's booth early the next day. When he saw him approaching without haste, Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I've raised the money." After finishing speaking, wipe Wipe the sweat off his brow.

For a moment, Bai Xin felt like a debt collector asking for money. He lowered his head and glanced at the burden Zhang Dalang placed at his feet. It was covered with a cloth, and he didn't know what was inside.

He reached out his hand to take out the soap dumplings from the back basket, Zhang Dalang hurriedly passed a bunch of money to Bai Xin, and carefully put the soap dumplings in the basket, Bai Xin saw that the top layer inside was mosquito coils and other things.

Zhang Dalang packed the glutinous rice balls, exchanged a few words of greeting, picked up his shoulder pole and hurried away. He was short and thin, but when he walked, his feet felt windy, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Bai Xin arranged the things and started the day's business. He originally thought that Zhang Dalang would at least come to say hello at night. If the soap dumplings couldn't be sold, they would probably return them. If they sold well, they would make an appointment tomorrow, but Bai Xin waited and waited for no one to be seen, and finally it was getting dark, so he went back with his elder brother.

As soon as he left, Zhang Dalang came back on his back. After he stopped, he was still out of breath, and he couldn't see anyone on the left or right. He stomped his feet angrily and asked the people around him, but no one knew where the new Bai family lived.

If there is such a good thing, seeing his anxious expression, he couldn't help joking: "Look at you running around in a hurry, why, does he owe you money?"

Zhang Dalang waved his hands again and again, and shouted suddenly: "Go, go, what are you talking about? Don't spread rumors!"

Seeing that Bai Sanlang had left, Zhang Dalang had no choice but to go home slowly.

The next day, Zhang Dalang came earlier, met Bai Xin, and greeted him as if he were a relative. Bai Xin was afraid of being misunderstood by the other party, thinking that he was deliberately avoiding him, so he said first: "I waited for you last night. , Seeing that you didn't come, I went home, if you want to retreat, you can do it now."

Zhang Dalang was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood in an instant. Seeing him grinning from ear to ear, "How can there be any refund? The ten yuan was all sold yesterday!"

It turned out that Zhang Dalang walked far yesterday, so he came back late. He sold all ten soap dumplings. He didn't dare to raise the price too high, and he sold them for 120 yuan. Originally, the soap dumplings began to become popular Wake up, plus he is eloquent, sold all ten yuan, and made two hundred yuan a day. Zhang Dalang, who had tasted the sweetness, wished he could order a few more yuan with Bai Xin, but when he came back, he couldn't find anyone, and he didn't know Where is the Bai family? This is why he was so anxious that he couldn't get Zao Duanzi in the next day. He was so worried that he didn't sleep well all night.

"All the soap dumplings were sold yesterday. I came back late last night. I didn't meet you. I want to order some more from you." Counting the book returned yesterday and the fact that he rarely bought goods from other workshops, He has brought enough money for two pennies today. Speaking of this, he subconsciously glanced at Bai Xin's back basket, "I want to get 20 yuan today."

Bai Xin frowned, a little embarrassed, "I don't know you want more, I didn't bring any more today."

Zhang Dalang was a little anxious, and said with a mournful face: "Ah? Then you can give me some less. I haven't gotten much from other houses today. You can't let me drink northwest wind all day today? I still have old ones at home. The little one is waiting to eat." He said that he was pitiful, and even lifted the shoulder pole to show Bai Xin.

"Then I'll give you another ten yuan today. If it's too much, I'll sell it. If you want it, I'll bring some more tomorrow."

Zhang Dalang was a little disappointed when he heard that it was only ten yuan, but it was better than not being able to buy one yuan. Fearing that the other party would go back on his word, he took out the usual money and stuffed it into Bai Xin's hand, looking at his back basket eagerly.

Bai Xin took out ten soap dumplings and gave him ten pieces of soap dumplings. Zhang Dalang was eager to make money, so Daosheng left, carrying a shoulder pole and walking in a hurry.

With Zhang Dalang, Bai Xin can earn hundreds of Wen a day more than before. That Dalang Zhang got such a popular item, and he can also earn hundreds of Wen a day. Life at home is much easier than before. Later, I saw other things Bai Xin sold Both are good, you need some of each every day, it can't be said that they are as popular as Zao Duanzi, but you can sell one or two pieces every day, so you won't drop them in your hands.

Zhang Dalang wanted to keep a low profile, but he found out about selling things after a little inquiring. Many people found Bai Xin with the same thoughts as him, and wanted to buy his soap dumplings and sell them elsewhere, and some said to go. Tianbomen, some people say to go to Niuhang Street, anyway, they don’t interfere with each other. Bai Xin is so happy that someone sells things for him for free. Although the profit of a single item has decreased, even if he doesn’t set up a stall for a day, he can still be booked out. There are dozens of soap dumplings, and you can earn a thousand dollars in the blink of an eye.

In just a few days, the money for renting the booth came back. With money, Bai Xin can naturally buy some good spices to make new products. He also knows that he sells few kinds of things, so he thought about it and planned to make another one. In the mouth, the meatballs can make the cheeks fragrant.

Today, he went to a spice shop, and the shopkeeper knew him well. Even if he buys ordinary spices every day, he is a long-term customer who accumulates them day after day. He greeted him and asked familiarly, "Is it still the same as usual?"

Bai Xin nodded, the man was about to call other people to weigh the spices, but Bai Xin stopped him, "No hurry, I need something else today."

The guy was even more happy when he heard it, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Bai Xin opened his mouth and said, "Two catties of Cyperus cyperus, one catty each of chicken tongue fragrance, Lingxiang, clove, cardamom, cinnamon heart, and Chuanxiong, half a catty each of cardamom and Sichuan pepper."

The guy was used to him buying so much at a time, so he didn’t find it strange, so he repeated it and found that everything was missing, so he went to get the spices for him. After a while, including the spices needed to make soap dumplings, it was more than ten catties, and he gave them all. Installed.

Bai Xin didn't delay, said hello, picked up the bamboo basket and left, and stopped by the herbal medicine shop to buy angelica and angelica, which were not available in the spice shop.

The Bai family saw that he bought so many spices, and they were used to it. Cao, a layman, could recognize a few spices after a short period of exposure. Seeing that the amount of acacia he bought was still the same as usual, but there were many other spices. , I knew he was going to make new things again, and he habitually said: "What are you going to make?"

Her tone had long since lost the initial complaint, but she subconsciously wanted to babble a few words, but Bai Xin didn't take it seriously.

The aunt came out of the kitchen, sniffed, walked around Bai Xin, and asked excitedly, "Brother San, you smell so good!"

Bai Xin has been exposed to a lot of spices on weekdays, and it is inevitable that he will get them, but he doesn't take it seriously, "Isn't it still the same as usual?"

The aunt pouted her nose again, but shook her head and said, "It's different from usual, it's a bit like... a bit like the scent of Angelica dahurica, but it's more fragrant than Bai Zhi, and it smells very good."

Bai Xin raised his sleeve and sniffed twice, suddenly realized, and looked at the aunt in surprise, "You can smell it?"

The aunt looked at him puzzled, and Bai Xin explained, "It's the scent of Lingxiang. It's a bit like Angelica dahurica, but the smell is even better."

The aunt nodded, and then laughed, and said happily, "What is the third brother going to do?"

"Make Hanxiang pills."

"Hanxiang pills?" the aunt repeated: "Is it also for wearing or burning?"

Bai Xin smiled and shook his head, "It wasn't worn, nor burned in an incense burner, it was contained in the mouth."

"Hold it in your mouth?" The aunt's eyes were full of curiosity, which made her not at all like a girl of fifteen or sixteen, but rather like Wu Niang.

"Well, if you put it in your mouth, it can make your teeth and cheeks fragrant."

The aunt looked at him in surprise, her heart was aroused with strong interest, and she wished that the third brother would do it immediately.

Mrs. Cao, who stood aside and listened to the conversation of the two siblings for a long time, had no choice but to speak, and said, "Okay, you two will talk endlessly, let's eat first. After dinner, we have to make soap dumplings." When she said the last sentence, her tone was full of pride.

The whole family sits at the dining table to eat, without worrying about making a living, and the atmosphere is relaxed and happy.

After dinner, the whole family worked together to make soap dumplings. Man Niang was also grinding the dog while carrying the dog on her back. Mrs. Cao wished she had a few more hands and wished she didn't have to sleep at night.

Bai Xin took out the newly bought spices, and the preparation method was still to grind them into fine powder. He thought that his eldest sister had a good nose, so he specially showed her Linglingxiang, and introduced: "This is Linglingxiang, smell it. , is it the smell you mentioned?"

The eldest sister came over, hissed and sniffed twice, then nodded repeatedly, pointed and said: "It smells so good, that's the smell, you can tell it's not Angelica dahurica by smelling it carefully."

This scented pill uses a lot of ingredients, and it won't be finished grinding in a while, but fortunately, he is not in a hurry to make it tomorrow, so he will make the soap dumplings first.

When Bai Xin went out to set up a stall during the day, the Bai family members kept helping to grind the spices. The spices were prepared within two days. Bai Xin used honey to adjust the atmosphere to make it sticky, and kneaded it into balls the size of a stick.

Knowing that the elder sister was curious, he immediately sent some to her, "I've made it, you can try it."

The eldest sister took it and held it in her hand, "It's so big, you should swallow it with water."

Bai Xin laughed and said, "It was contained in the mouth, not swallowed."

The eldest sister hesitantly put the Hanxiang pill into her mouth. At first, a sweet taste spread, but then, the spicy tongue was pungent. She opened her mouth and took two breaths. After a while, a lot of saliva was secreted from her mouth.

Bai Xin explained, "You may not be used to taking it for the first time. The spices here have a lot of spicy taste, but they can eliminate bad breath. When you swallow your saliva, you will feel a scent slipping into your stomach."

The eldest sister gulped, her eyes lit up instantly, "Really, it seems that a warm current is falling into her belly, and her mouth is also delicious."

Bai Xin nodded, "This scented pill can make your mouth smell sweet. Take one pill every day, and you will be able to spit orchids in a few days!"
