Chapter 024: Rotten in the Stomach

Forsythia lovingly helped Ms. Li rub her temples, trying to make her feel more comfortable.

Li closed her eyes and squinted for a while. After regaining her energy, she took the chestnut cake Su Yujin gave her and ate it.

"Miss Su's craftsmanship is really good." Forsythia got a piece of chestnut cake. After swallowing the cake, she couldn't help but praise it.

"Yes." Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Not only is the craftsmanship good, but the mind is also good, and the person is also smart. He is very lovable when he looks knowledgeable and sensible."

but……

The words Su Yujin said at the end always felt like there was something in them.

But I couldn't figure out whether what Su Yujin meant was what he said.

After thinking for a while, Ms. Li looked at the chestnut cake that she had almost finished and laughed, "I can't be greedy anymore. I should take such a delicious cake back to my mother and Ruoyi to eat some."

"The old lady likes sweet food the most. I'm afraid that even if I give these to the old lady, she will still be dissatisfied." Forsythia pursed her lips and smiled, "My maid heard this from other people in the family last night.

, it’s said that Yunzhizhai’s egg yolk cakes taste better than before, why don’t you buy some and go back to honor the old lady?”

Yunzhizhai’s egg yolk cake.

Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, let's arrange it this way."

Forsythia understood and ordered the coachman to go to Yunzhizhai first.

Zhang Huaihua got busy early in the morning. Steam was rising from the stove, and the water in the pot made a gurgling sound because of the fire in the stove.

Guessing that the water in the pot was almost cooked, Zhang Huaihua scooped some out, waited until it was almost cool, then poured it into the dough that had risen, and mixed it evenly with the dough.

Holding on to the door, window and wall, Mrs. Sun walked out of the house tremblingly on her feet. Looking at Zhang Huaihua's movements, she shouted in a hoarse voice, "Sophora flower."

"Mother?" Zhang Huaihua looked at Ms. Sun, quickly dropped what she was doing, and ran over to help Ms. Sun, "Why are you up? Didn't the doctor tell you to lie down?"

"Mom is worried." Mrs. Sun was helped into the room by Zhang Huaihua and lay down again. She held Zhang Huaihua's hand and refused to let go. "Huaihua, mom still thinks that we can't do this. With this money

It’s even more unacceptable, so go find someone and return the money.”

"My mother is already so old. Even if she has the money to take the medicine, she probably won't live long. Don't waste any more effort and just run the sesame cake business peacefully. Mother will feel at ease in her heart. Ahem..."

Zhang Huaihua patted Sun on the back, picked up the bowl on the table, and gave her a drink of water. "Mom, just leave this matter alone. I know what to do and no one will find out."

"This is fifteen taels of silver. How many years do I have to sell sesame cakes to earn this money? Mom, don't worry, after I finish this matter for that person, I will sell this yard and we will settle down somewhere else.

No one can find us."

"Sophora japonica..."

Ms. Sun opened her mouth to try to persuade her, but was interrupted by Zhang Huaihua, "Mom, stop talking. I've already taken the money and you can't get it back. If you're really worried about me, you'll keep this matter to yourself."

, no one should mention it.”

Seeing that her young daughter's face was full of seriousness and perseverance, Sun opened her mouth, closed it after a long time, turned her face away, and no longer looked at Zhang Huaihua.

"Mom, rest first, I'm going to make sesame cakes."

Zhang Huaihua strode out of the door, looked at the dough in the basin, and then at the bowl of water hanging on the chopping board. After gritting his teeth, he poured all the dough in.

At the right time, Su Ji opened the door and Zhang Huaihua delivered the sesame cakes as usual.

Shuang Ye, who was in charge of taking inventory, looked at the dozen or so sesame seed cakes in the basket and laughed, "Why are you giving away so few today?"

"It's cold and my face is slow, so I sent this much first and will send it later. You don't have to wait too long and don't delay Su Ji's business. When I send it later, I will send more."

Replace these with cold ones, take them back and bake them on the stove, so as not to delay the sale."

When Zhang Huaihua spoke, she had a light smile on her face as usual, which made people like her.

Shuangye smiled and nodded, "I'm sorry for your thoughtfulness. If you can't carry it all by yourself later, ask Qingkui to help you carry it."

"No need, I'm very strong." Zhang Huaihua smiled and packed up the bamboo basket he brought over, "Then you go ahead and I'll go back and do my own work."

"Let's go." Shuangye sent Zhang Huaihua to the gate, and then came back and was busy sorting out the ingredients for the haggis soup he sold.

The haggis, chopped green onions, coriander, etc. are arranged separately for easy scooping later. The sesame biscuits are wrapped in a cage cloth and covered to ensure that they are hot when eaten later.

While he was busy, Ai Cao walked in, put the bamboo basket he was carrying on the table, sat down on the stool, and gasped for air.

"Where have you been, Sister Ai Cao, panting like this?" Qing Kui brought a cup of hot tea over.

Ai Cao picked up the cup and didn't care about the heat. He just drank it all in one breath. After wiping his mouth, he said, "Don't mention it. The girl wants to eat pickled pork with pickled vegetables. I know an aunt's family makes pickled pickled vegetables."

It was delicious, and knowing that she had to do starching work on weekdays, I went out early to buy it."

"When I came back from buying dried plums and vegetables, I met a fish seller, so I bought two more fish and planned to stew them for the girl at noon. When I was walking back, I took a shortcut and took a shortcut, but I ran into an alley.

There is a dog.”

"The dog didn't know whether it was crazy or because it smelled the fishy smell in the bamboo basket. It kept chasing me. I was so scared that I ran all the way back without daring to stop. It ran all the way to the road and looked back.

I never saw that dog."

"I'm exhausted, so I came here to rest for a while before going back."

"Sister Wormwood, please rest for a while. If you need anything, call us." Qingkui added some more tea to Wormwood, and then went back to serving all kinds of noodles.

The stew was simmering and bubbling, and Shuangye's mutton soup was also boiling, exuding bursts of aroma.

The mugwort was so fragrant that I couldn't help but rub my belly.

When I woke up in the morning, I was thinking about buying dried plums and vegetables, so I ate half a bowl of porridge at home, and even half a pancake I ate on the road. I was chased by a dog for a long time, and my stomach was already growling with hunger.

Looking at the fragrant mutton soup pot, Wormwood licked her lips and asked Shuangye to cook half a bowl of mutton soup for herself.

"Okay." Shuangye skillfully placed the haggis in the grate and boiled it in the pot. When it was almost cooked, he took it out, poured the soup on it, sprinkled with coriander and chopped green onion, and added pepper and vinegar.

.

"Sister mugwort, eat slowly, be careful not to burn it." Shuangye brought the mutton soup to mugwort, and then took a sesame seed cake from the cloth of the cage and handed it to her, "the sesame seed cake was just delivered, and it's still warm."

Ai Cao thanked him, took the sesame seed cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
