Chapter 13

"Why?"

Two people asked in unison, are very puzzled.

"We sent more than ten fish today. If we send them again tomorrow, they will surely think that it is easy for us to catch fish. Then the price will be lowered. If we reduce the price, they will know that it is not easy to catch fish."

Two people are taught of nod, "listen to you."

A little rest for a while, Lan'er ready to cook, Xia Xi stood up, rolled sleeves, "I'll make you egg cakes to eat."

Listen to delicious, Lan'er action quick took the eggs and oil out, the pillar has also put the white flour in.

Xia Xi opened it, made up her face and put it aside. Looking around, I didn't see the green onion, so I took a bowl and beat an egg in it

Lan'er looks at it and is very surprised. Xia Xi has been married for so many years. She has never heard that she can cook. She has no idea that her hands are so skillful and they have never eaten anything.

Everything ready, Lan'er fire, Xia Xi pancake, soon, the smell of the cake floating out.

Column greedy only sniffle, can't help but to the kitchen door with his head in.

Xia Xi poured the egg on the cake and turned it over as soon as she fainted.

More fragrant, Qi'er can't help running over and looking at the pot.

Egg cake out of the pot, Xia Xi divided into two, put in two plates, handed to the column, "you and Qi Er to eat first, the next one will be ready."

Zhu has been hungry for a long time. Wen Yan doesn't refuse. He takes two plates, one of which is handed to Qi'er. Then he can't wait to grab the cake from the other plate and takes a big bite.

Fragrant taste, straight qinxinpi.

"Good, delicious..."

The pillar hissed and ate at the same time.

……

Xia Xi baked a total of seven cakes, and none of them was left.

The pillar felt his stomach and belched contentedly.

LAN Er stares at him one eye, pillar hey hey straight smile, "this is not the cake that sister-in-law makes, too delicious, I can't help for a while?"

Don't talk about him, he ate some more, Lan'er is not good to blame him, turn to Xia Xi, some embarrassed, "sister-in-law, let you laugh."

Xia Xi smiles and shakes her head. She looks at the sky outside. "It's still early. Qi'er and I will go back to have a rest. When the time comes, we'll come back."

"Good!"

They nodded.

……

Back home, the house is even colder. Qi'er puts down the sugar in her hand, goes to the door and brings in the dry wood to light the fire neatly. She doesn't forget to tell Xia Xi, "Niang, go to the house first and cover the quilt to warm up. I'll make the fire right away."

Xia Xi did not go to the house, casually found a place to sit down, to see Qi Er skilled fire up, one by one toward the inside with dry wood.

Looking at the fire burning up, Qi'er clapped the dust on her hands, took the paper bag on one side, went to Xia Xi and opened it, "mother, eat sugar."

After buying sugar, Qi'er didn't eat it. She held it tightly in her arms all the way, even in Lan'er's house.

Xia Xi took a piece, high a throw, face up, accurately connected in the mouth.

"Mother, how did you do it?"

Qi Er exclaimed.

Xia Xi picks eyebrows, "want to learn?"

Qi Er quickly nodded, and then violently shook his head, "I, I still don't learn."

Sugar is so expensive, he'd better not spoil it.

See his eyes fall on the candy, Xia Xi clear, nodded, "well, after home sugar more than eat, mother will teach you."

"Well!"

Qi Er nodded, her eyes narrowed into a seam, carefully picked up a candy, put it in her mouth, eyes immediately lit up, "mother, is this sugar? It's really sweet. "

……

He caught six more fish in the evening and went to the county early the next morning.

In fact, you don't have to go so early. The restaurant can't open. But when you leave the village late, it's hard to avoid being seen by the villagers. When someone asks, it's hard to answer, so they come early.

Pillar carrying bucket, Lan'er accompany, went to the restaurant door waiting, Xia Xi led Qi'er to the pancake stall.

When the boss saw them, his eyes lit up and he said, "madam, you're here."

Said, the hands of a quick package of two pancakes handed to her, "did not eat it, first eat a pancake pad full."

Xia Xi is not polite. She takes it, hands it to Qi'er, and asks the boss, "is everything ready?"

"It's all ready."

Then he took out a shabby but clean apron and said, "this is what my husband and wife wear. If you don't like it, put it on first."

Xia Xi took it and tied it around her waist. Then she went to the chopping board and did it. While doing it, she told the boss the essentials.

The boss is good. He looks at me with his eyes.

"The most important thing about this five spice pancake is the material added in it. When the material is ready, the pancake will be delicious."

Seeing Xia Xi rubbing her face with oil, the boss felt distressed for a while. He opened his mouth several times and wanted to stop it. Thinking of what she said, he bit his teeth and swallowed the words back.

Xia Xi cooked the pancakes, and the boss put them into the pancake oven. After a while, the fragrance came out of the oven and blew down the wind to the noses of the people in the market.

The nearest people to the Shaobing stall couldn't help sniffing, while the people in the distance followed the fragrance. Many people gathered in front of the Shaobing stall.

As soon as the time came, the boss lifted the lid of the stove, and the strong fragrance spread everywhere. The onlookers were stunned for a moment, and then the voice of rushing to the top sounded,

"Boss, how much is this pancake? I want one."

"I want two!"

"I'll have two, too!"

……

Looking at such a scene, Xia Xi smiles and leads Qi'er to the restaurant.

An hour later, the restaurant opened the door. Seeing a few people standing at the door, the man who unloaded the door was stunned for a moment. Then he remembered that the shopkeeper had given orders yesterday and hurriedly led people to the backyard.

Soon after the shopkeeper got up, he heard that there were only six fish in the bucket. His brow was slightly wrinkled. "Why so few?"

"It's not easy to catch fish. We spent a lot of effort to catch so many."

Xia Xi answers with a smile, and there is no guilty heart on her face.

The pillar and LAN Er looked at each other and lowered their heads at the same time.

The shopkeeper took a look at Xia Xi and the fish in the bucket. His brow wrinkled deeper. "Think of a way to send more tomorrow."

Yesterday, there were many fish in his restaurant. Not only the guests who were eating in the restaurant were very satisfied, but also the frequent guests sent people to place orders after hearing the news. They said they were coming to eat fish today. Now there are only these. How can they share with the guests.

"We try our best."

"Well, I'll give you 30 Wen more for each fish, and you'll send at least ten every day."

"This..."

Xia Xi looks embarrassed.

The pillar is too anxious to wink at Xia Xi.
