Chapter 15
Fifteen Fields at the Start
This time, Lu Helin bought as much eggs, flour, milk, yeast, and sesame seeds as possible for making bread, as well as oil paper specially used to wrap pastries. In addition, Lu Helin also bought some honey.
, she planned to make some honey bread in addition to the original bread. In the end, except for the money given to Lu Canngling, Lu Helin only had the first pot of gold earned in the morning before she went back.
Bread needs to be freshly made to be delicious, but she can just put the best dough in her backpack and bake it directly tomorrow.
The whole day, Lu Helin was mixing dough, kneading dough, making dough, applying egg liquid, and sprinkling sesame seeds. Until the evening, he felt like he was almost useless. Even dinner was bought by Lu Canngling from a stall outside.
Come back to eat the wontons.
As for Qingqiu, Lu Canngling now takes it out every day. Its food is all eaten outside, and sometimes it will bring back a small prey.
——————————
Early the next morning, Lu Helin took advantage of the morning market to open the door of the shop, set the counter horizontally, and placed the prepared bread on the counter.
The most indispensable thing in the morning market is hungry passers-by. The breakfast stall owners on the roadside try their best to encourage passers-by to visit their stalls.
Maybe everyone's breakfast tastes the same, so the customers who patronize it are all the same. They just hope that more people will come to their stall every day, so that they can earn more money and support their families.
Today is very different from the past. As soon as people arrived at the stall, they were attracted by a fragrance that they had never smelled before.
“Which store’s pastries are so delicious?”
"smell good?"
"The buns on your hands instantly become unattractive."
"I want to eat this pastry."
…
Such words were repeated at the morning market in the town, and soon someone found Lu Helin's pastry shop.
"Little lady, how do you sell these pastries?"
"The original flavor costs five cents each, the honey one costs six cents, buy two and get one original flavor free."
Not long after the store opened, customers came in, and Lu Helin naturally greeted them with a smile.
"Then give me one original flavor and one honey."
"Okay, Chenghui 11 cents." Lu Helin wrapped the bread in oil paper and handed it to the first customer in front of him, taking the coin in front of him.
The man took the bread wrapped in oil paper, opened it and ate it directly.
"This pastry... is soft, glutinous and sweet. I have never tasted such a pastry before. It is really delicious."
The man immediately turned to Lu Helin and said, "Little lady, give me another one of the same kind. Here, I'll give you some money."
As he said that, he put the money directly on the counter.
Where there is the first person, there will naturally be a second person.
There was an endless stream of people in front of Lu Helin's shop. Naturally, some people couldn't stand the situation of this dominant family. They couldn't help but said sourly: "Is this pastry so delicious? I have never heard of any pastry that can be so delicious."
It smells so fragrant, maybe there’s something shady added to it, right?”
"Liu Datou, I think you are jealous of me. My little lady's food is sweet and soft, and the door is crowded with people. Look at you, you are such a big man, and your steamed buns are so hard that you can kill someone."
"
"I think so. This person is just jealous of others."
"you…"
The man who was being choked couldn't help but wanted to roll up his sleeves and argue with others, but those people disappeared into the crowd very quickly. This made Liu Datou, who had strong limbs and a weak head, furious.
The big guy who got choked up when he said sarcastic words was named Liu Ping. He was a rough guy who only knew how to make huge steamed buns that would kill people. Because he was bloated and his head was several times larger than the average person, he couldn't hear people say anything bad about him.
, was nicknamed Liu Datou as a joke.
Seeing more and more people queuing up at the pastry shop, but no one bought his steamed buns, he felt unconvinced and thought that he would have to try how delicious this pastry was.
"Get out of the way... get out of my way..." Liu Datou relied on his tall and thick body to squeeze through the people in line in front of him and reached Lu Helin's pastry shop.
"Give me two of these pastries."
Lu Helin looked at the man in front of him who jumped in line, and was quite unhappy, "This... warrior, you line up first, I don't sell cakes to people who jump in line."
"If you don't make money, you little lady has a bad mind?"
As soon as he heard that Lu Helin wouldn't sell him cakes, Liu Datou immediately became angry and spoke without thinking, even though he usually didn't think too well.
I wanted to say something more, but someone who was cut in line behind me said dissatisfiedly: "You are so incompetent, who will sell you food?"
"It's just...it's..."
The people behind Liu Datou were talking all over the place. Liu Datou in the crowd was blushing and couldn't say anything to refute because of his stupid mouth, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Get... out of the way, if you don't want to sell, you won't sell."
, who cares about this crappy snack, you just don’t know the good stuff, this snack is not as good as my big steamed buns. Bah."
After saying that, he pushed through the crowd and returned to his stall selling steamed buns.
But there were people behind him who kept saying: "As for your steamed buns that are so hard that they can kill someone, you should just keep them to yourself and eat them. We are not happy to enjoy them, hahahaha."
Liu Datou, who was outside the crowd, could only glare at the man angrily. He even hated the lady selling the pastries. If he didn't sell the pastries, there would usually be one or two people who would come to buy his steamed buns. It's early now.
The market has been open for so long and there is not a single person there.
——————————
At Luhe Rin's side, today's bread was almost sold out, and there was not much unbaked dough in her backpack. She decided to sell out all these today and not sell any more. So she spoke to the people in front of the store:
"Everyone, there is enough bread for one person today. Come back tomorrow. In the first three days of opening, buy two and get one original bread for free."
"Little lady, do you think we haven't bought it yet?"
“We’ve been waiting in line for so long, why do we say it’s gone if it’s not available?”
"that is…"
Such words kept coming out after Lu Helin finished speaking.
"Sorry, please be early tomorrow."
After selling the last piece of bread, Lu Helin said that there was indeed no more bread today.
Fortunately, those people didn't bother too much, they just secretly thought that they would come early tomorrow to buy this sweet pastry.
————————————
Lu Helin simply cleaned up the counter, closed the courtyard door, returned to the backyard, and drank a large bowl of tea that had been dried.
"Phew, it's finally over."
Then, he lay weakly on the table, preparing to close his eyes and rest for a while.
"Sister, I can also sell bread, why don't you let me sell it with you?"
Lu Canling, who was sitting directly opposite Lu Helin, felt very distressed when he saw the extremely tired Lu Helin in front of him.
"Aling, you are still young. I can cope with it now. I'm just a little tired, so I just treat it as exercise." Lu Helin closed her eyes to answer Lu Canngling's words. She really didn't even want to open her eyes now.
"Sister, I am not young anymore." In Lu Canngling's eyes, he is really not young anymore, and he is really capable of helping sister.
But in Lu Helin's view, Lu Canngling is still a five-year-old baby who still needs someone to take care of him. If his parents hadn't died early, he would still be a carefree child now.
"Sister, it's okay."
"Here, this is the money we earned today. Count how much money we earned."
With that said, he took out the heavy bag of money and placed it in front of Lu Canngling.
Taking the money bag handed over by Lu Helin, Lu Canling counted it and replied: "A total of one thousand and twenty-six coins, sister."
"I earned more than one or two silver coins in total."
Lu Cangling couldn't help but say the next sentence very lightly, because Lu Helin on the stone table opposite had already fallen asleep.
"Ouch..."
Qingqiu, who was under the table, was wondering why the young master suddenly stopped talking, when he heard Lu Cangling whisper: "Qingqiu, keep your voice down, sister is asleep."
It seems that my sister is really tired.
Lu Canling put the money bag in front of Lu Helin, went to the room, took his thin quilt, covered Lu Helin, and then quietly took Qingqiu out.
