Chapter 38 Beautiful Girl

Xiao Wei stood in front of Wang Cuihua with an empty basket and the last remaining chestnut in his hand.

"for you."

Wang Cuihua, who had been ignored, was moved. She took the chestnut, quickly peeled it open, and threw it into her mouth.

 She wants to taste how delicious it is.

It is worthy of brother Xiao Cheng... and those big men to praise her so much that they even stopped drinking her chrysanthemum tea.

 It's just a little softer, a little glutinous, a little sweeter, and has a burnt taste.

 “My brother likes to eat the roasted chestnuts she made the most.”

Wang Cuihua just felt that the sweet chestnut in her mouth was not bad, but after Xiao Wei said a word, it was so bitter that she lost her teeth.

 I want to vomit but dare not vomit, but cannot swallow.

 Hold up the hot water bottle and ran away without looking back.

 Let’s wait until she comes up with something more delicious.

The fruit stall is right opposite the vegetable market. Wen Xiuyun’s stall is in a good location, with people coming and going at the entrance and exit.

When Bai Lu passed by carrying chestnuts, Wen Xiuyun was chatting with a female regular customer. The female regular customer was carrying a basket of fresh fruits with a few chestnuts on top.

She also held one in her hand, peeled off the shell, and ate it until she was filled with wonder and her smile became even bigger.

 Obviously I liked it very much and ate another one.

When she left, she told Wen Xiuyun that she must leave some for her when the goods arrived. She loved the burnt-sweet smell.

Wen Xiuyun said yes again and again and watched the people go away. When she turned around, she found that Bai Lu had already arrived at the stall.

Immediately he greeted her with joy: "You came to buy groceries so early today? Look how popular your chestnuts are. Several regular customers asked me to keep the goods this morning. Ask me when the sugar-fried chestnuts will come back. They eat them every year. I’m tired of seasonal fruits and want to change my taste. These chestnuts are sweet, fragrant and a little glutinous. I really like them. ”

Bai Lu smiled and gave the basket to her: "I just fried some and brought it over. It should be twenty or thirty kilograms."

Wen Xiuyun hurriedly took it and asked, "Is thirty kilograms too little? Those who ordered from me in advance add up to more than thirty kilograms, not to mention those who want to try something new."

 Old customers can still be said to be giving it a try, but those new customers all said they liked it after eating it.

 After tasting them all, she asked her to keep the goods.

 “Fresh things, sold in limited quantities, taste is more important than quantity.” Bai Lu used the secret book of later generations.

Wen Xiuyun understood it immediately and praised her for being smart, business-minded, and having more advanced operating methods than her.

 Finally, the price of roasted chestnuts with sugar was set at 3.5 yuan per catty, the same price as pork.

 Not too high, not too low.

 Bai Lu remembers that the price of well-cooked sugar-roasted chestnuts in later generations was more expensive than pork.

 The economic level in this small town is not high. No one has eaten fresh food, so they can earn exclusive sales. The quantity is small and the goods are high quality. Even if the price is high, they can still occupy the market.

 When the market is opened and sold to the city, the price can be appropriately increased according to the local economic price.

After discussing everything, Wen Xiuyun wanted to fill Bai Lu's vegetable basket with fruits, but Bai Lu declined repeatedly. She also had to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and if she added fruits, she wouldn't be able to hold the vegetables.

Wen Xiuyun just bought dozens of plastic bags yesterday. She is usually reluctant to use them. She has been a regular customer for many years and has come to buy fruits. Now she took out one without hesitation and filled a large bag of fruits for Xiao Wei. Walk.

There is no other way, I affirmed it but refused it to Bai Lu.

 She could only show the little follower behind her.

  Xiao Wei is only seven years old. He is small and unable to refuse the forced love from adults.

 A large bag of fruit was hung up on someone’s hands.

There was no other way, and Bai Lu couldn't refuse Fifth Aunt's enthusiasm. She could only ask Fifth Aunt to keep some chestnuts home for her family to taste, instead of putting them all out for sale.

 After watching the customers walk into the vegetable market, a young man and woman walked into the fruit stall with ease.

The handsome boy asked, "Who is that girl? I haven't seen her before." "You think she looks pretty," the girl with braids joked with a smile.

"Every time I came here before, I didn't see anyone ask me, are you feeling romantic today? However, that girl is indeed very beautiful, thousands of times more beautiful than Zhou Jiayi, the self-proclaimed school belle of our school, I was moved when I saw her."

 “I am already married and have children.” Wen Xiuyun interrupted her children’s whimsical thoughts.

 The young man's face was full of shock: "Is it the little boy following her? Is her child that big?"

“That’s her brother-in-law. She is already married and pregnant, and the child will be born in a few months.”

Very few people knew about Bai Lu's pregnancy. Wen Xiuyun also accidentally heard Xiao Dazhuang and others mention it when she passed by the new house yesterday to see the construction progress.

 At that time, they were discussing what gifts they should prepare to celebrate when Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu's child was born.

 Hearing that the beautiful girl he had glimpsed was pregnant, the young man looked regretful: "What a pity..."

The girl gave her brother a look of sympathy: "I can't tell even if Mom doesn't tell me. Her belly looks the same as mine, flat, no difference."

Wen Xiuyun just thought that her children were joking again, and without thinking much, Wen Sheng explained: "She is thin and thin, and she doesn't show her pregnancy until later. She can't tell in the first few months."

 “Oh…” The brother and sister seemed to understand.

 A gust of wind blew into the vegetable market.

Bai Lu asked Xiao Wei if the fruit was heavy and if she wanted her to pick it up. The little guy said it was not heavy.

 Asked him what he wanted to eat, he said anything.

 But when he sees the chili pepper, he turns his head.

Bai Lu looked at the little guy's cool and cold face and felt like he was going to the vegetable market with Xiao Cheng. Probably, maybe, maybe, he would have the same expression when he saw Chili Pepper.

 Actually, adding chili pepper to stir-fry dishes is quite delicious. As long as the portion is appropriate, it can also be used for beauty.

However, today’s ribs are even better.

Bai Lu already has sweet and sour pork ribs, garlic pork ribs, braised pork ribs, and carrot pork ribs soup in her mind.

“Boss, please weigh these two ribs for me...”

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the pork stall. Without saying a word, he grabbed the two white ribs with his hands, turned around and left.

 “I want to leave even before I give you the money!”

 The pig boss chased him out with a butcher's knife.

The fat man with an old injury on his face stopped and turned around. One hand was still holding the ribs, and the other hand was stretched out, pointing directly at Bai Lu.

 “She gave me money.” The tone was matter-of-fact.

Boss Pig’s eyes turned to Bai Lu.

  Bai Lu shook his head: "I don't know him."

 “I’m your brother!”

Bai Chaojie yelled angrily, not knowing whether he wanted to scare Bai Lu or the knife in Boss Pig's hand.

 In short, Boss Pig was not intimidated and slowly raised the knife with an expressionless face: "If you don't have money, put down the ribs."

Bai Chaojie stared at Bai Lu with unwilling eyes, his face was ferocious, and his eyes were fierce.

  In the past, Bai Lu had to give him whatever he wanted, but now, it was already the third time that he was short-lived.

The money given by Li Xuelan to buy meat has been spent by him on scratch-off tickets. Bai Lu must pay for it today.

“Today is my mother’s birthday. You don’t have to go back. You must buy the same pork ribs and pig’s trotters and bring them back to me!”
