Chapter 88
88. Chapter 88: Eggs, Fried Dough Sticks, Buns, and Soy Milk
Who exactly buried that box of gold and silver jewelry, jewelry, and precious jade there?
Looking at the style of that curved knife, it should be someone from the palace.
As Jiang Xiaoxiao thought, she couldn't help but recall the content of this novel, wanting to find some clues from it, but unfortunately, when she read the novel, it was like Zhu Bajie swallowing ginseng fruit, she didn't look at it carefully, and now she only remembered some general plots.
Alas, if she had known she would transmigrate, she would have read it seriously.
If there was another chance, even if she had to memorize it, she would memorize the whole book!
However, with this box of gold and silver treasures, could they open a shop in town...
With a shop, she and her mother wouldn't have to get up early and work late every day to deliver goods to town. They could directly let the shopkeepers of those restaurants send people to pick them up, and they could also free up more time to study other businesses.
After all, the ice cream and snow cake business can only make money in the summer. When autumn or winter comes, they can also try to sell other things...
Imagining the future in her mind, Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't gradually fall asleep until the second half of the night.
When the second day came, retribution came.
Getting up early to go to town to deliver goods with Jiang Wei, she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyelids, and she was floating when walking.
Jiang Wei looked at her helplessly: "Forget it, you stay at home, and incidentally fill the vats in the kitchen with water."
Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded sleepily and touched the kitchen with floating steps.
Those large vats had been put back in their original places. It seemed that her mother had put them back as soon as she returned home last night. Jiang Wei was still quite careful about these details.
After all, Qiulian Niang had been working in the kitchen for the past two days. If several large water vats suddenly disappeared overnight, she would have to be suspicious.
Jiang Xiaoxiao stepped forward to start releasing water, but until her ability was exhausted, she couldn't fill the seven or eight large vats.
She frowned slightly dissatisfied. Recently, she had been busy with the family business and had neglected to train her ability.
She sat on the chair preparing to rest for a while, but when she turned her head, she saw the breakfast Jiang Wei had prepared for her on the table.
A steamer of small steamed buns, three eggs, and soy milk and fried dough sticks.
Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but freeze. Why did her mother prepare so much food? She couldn't finish it alone...
But soon, she knew the reason.
The voices of the sisters Chunmiao and Chunya sounded outside the courtyard.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, are you at home?"
"Yes." Jiang Xiaoxiao hurriedly walked out to open the door for them, "Why are you here so early?"
Chunmiao scratched her head embarrassedly and said: "I was thinking that you are also going to town with Auntie Jiang today, and the chickens and rabbits at home haven't been fed, so I wanted to come earlier to feed them..."
As she spoke, Chunya stood out holding a stack of freshly picked fresh green grass and said weakly: "Sister Xiaoxiao, can I still help you feed the rabbits today?"
"Of course!" Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled. She discovered yesterday that Chunya seemed to have a special liking for the few little rabbits raised in her house. Not only did she take good care of them, but whenever she had time, she would go to the rabbit hutch to hold the little rabbits and play.
After all, she was an eight-year-old girl, and naturally had no resistance to the fluffy little rabbits.
"However, before feeding the rabbits, you come to the kitchen with me first." Jiang Xiaoxiao said, pulling the sisters Chunmiao to the kitchen.
The sisters thought there was something they needed help with at first. As soon as they entered the kitchen, they saw the food on the table and were scared to turn around and go out, but were hurriedly pulled by Jiang Xiaoxiao.
"Hey, why are you running? This was made by my mother early in the morning. I can't finish it alone. If you don't help me eat it, it will go bad in the afternoon."
Recently, the weather is hot, and food is very easy to go bad, especially those few boiled eggs. In this weather, they will deteriorate in less than a day.
A slight movement appeared on Chunmiao's face. The eggs she and her sister saved and didn't eat yesterday already had a foul smell when they went back at night. She was heartbroken at the time, angry at herself for wasting such good food in vain.
But she couldn't bear to throw them away, so she put them on the table. She didn't expect Zhao Ergou, who came home, to see them, snatch them, and eat them, and then had diarrhea all night...
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao stuffed an egg into the hands of the two sisters and said: "Hurry up and eat. There are small steamed buns and soy milk here. If you don't finish eating, it will be wasted if it goes bad."
Hearing this, Chunmiao didn't hesitate anymore, fearing that it would be like last night, and hurriedly peeled the eggshell.
Her fingers were dexterous, and she peeled an egg in the blink of an eye.
The peeled egg was smooth, white, and clean, and it looked delicious.
Chunmiao stuffed the egg into Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand, took the egg in her hand to peel it, handed it to Chunya after peeling, and finally peeled her own.
As the eldest daughter in the family, Chunmiao was always used to taking care of people, and she was especially caring for Jiang Xiaoxiao, who was younger.
Seeing that the two sisters finally ate her family's things without any estrangement, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of her heart. Food going bad is really a good excuse. The sisters lived a life of not having enough to eat and not having enough to wear. Compared to being embarrassed to eat for free, they were more afraid of food going bad and being wasted.
Thus, after eating the eggs, Jiang Xiaoxiao tricked the two sisters into eating small steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk together.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, is this fried dough stick? I saw it once when I went to town with Mom before, and it cost two wen each." Eight-year-old Chunya suddenly pointed to the fried dough sticks on the table, "However, why is it still steaming, as if it was just fried?"
"Uh... it was just fried by my mother early in the morning, haha..." Jiang Xiaoxiao gave two dry laughs and made up an excuse.
In the future, let her mother take out fewer cooked foods that are easy to reveal the truth...
After eating all the breakfast on the table, the sisters Chunmiao were all so full they couldn't move. They had never been so full before.
A steamer of small steamed buns, an egg, plus several fried dough sticks and a bowl of soy milk, for the two who had been hungry for years, it was already a very luxurious and precious meal.
After eating and drinking, the two sisters didn't dare to rest. Chunya went to the courtyard to feed the chickens and rabbits, and Chunmiao carried a bag of glutinous rice flour to the stove outside to boil and make snow cakes.
These materials for making snow cakes and ice cream were all prepared by Jiang Wei in advance. Glutinous rice flour was piled up in the corner of the wall, the stove was full of sugar jars, and even the milk for making ice cream was filled with several large porcelain basins. When using it, open the porcelain lid and scoop it out with a spoon to pour into the pot, which was very convenient.
Jiang Xiaoxiao stayed in the kitchen and continued to fill the two large vats that were not full with water.
When the two sisters entered the kitchen, they always lowered their heads and didn't dare to look around. Those large vats were all covered with bamboo-woven lids. They didn't know if there was water in the vats, and Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't have to worry about being discovered, filling all the large vats in the kitchen with water.
