Chapter 378

Song Shunli was busy working in the kitchen. When he saw Mu Xiu, he looked happy and said happily: "Xiu, you are here. You can go into the house and rest first, and then talk about it when I finish my work."

"Uncle-in-law, I brought some rice dumplings to sell. You boil the water and cook the rice dumplings later." Mu Xiu said.

"Two days ago, I said that it was almost Dragon Boat Festival. I haven't got time to make rice dumplings yet. I'm going to buy some. You'll pack it now. OK, I'll boil water now." Song Shunli glanced at Chen Xuhui who was moving the rice dumplings to the kitchen and said.

"Uncle-in-law, this is a sweet rice dumpling, with the candied dates and peanuts wrapped in it." Mu Xiu pointed to the bamboo basket that Chen Xuhui moved in first and said.

"These are salty rice dumplings, and the ones wrapped in them are pickled pork belly and salted egg yolks." Mu Xiu pointed to the bamboo basket that Chen Xuhui was moving into and said.

"Salty Zongzi? This is the first time I heard of it." Song Shunli raised her head in surprise and looked at Mu Xiu.

"It's the same as that fresh meat dumpling. Some people like to eat sweet things and some people like to eat salty things. When the rice dumplings are cooked, you can try them first." Mu Xiu said with a smile.

"Okay, I just love to eat salted egg yolks. These salty rice dumplings sound delicious." Song Shunli put the fried popcorn into a basin. Chen Xuhui helped to take them to the shop in front, and Song Shunli started to boil rice dumplings with hot water.

"Uncleman, wait until the water boils before cooking the rice dumplings. This way the rice dumpling leaves are green and beautiful." Mu Xiu reminded.

"Okay, I understand. The kitchen is hot, you can sit in the yard." Song Shunli wiped his head full of sweat. Now it's getting hotter and hotter, and summer is coming soon.

It is June 11th now. It is breeze in the early morning. Sitting under the big trees in the yard will be cooler than in the room. When the sun rises at noon, it will be very hot.

"Where is my aunt?" Mu Xiu asked softly at the closed door.

"The child got prickly heat. He wrinkled the tweed on the bed last night and cried for the middle of the night. Now the mother and son are sleeping back." Song Shunli said with heartache.

"Uncle-in-law, why don't you buy an electric fan?" Mu Xiu remembered that she had seen an electric fan in the store.

"Your aunt wants to save money to buy a house. She said that electric fans are too expensive, and each one is almost 100, which is worth the salary of others for three months."

"I probably saved more than 3,000 yuan in the past few months, so I can buy a house." Mu Xiu calculated briefly.

"We went to see it. A house with a yard and a storefront room costs 2,800 yuan. If you buy some furniture and tidy it up, it will probably cost more than 3,000 yuan. There is only this little money in your hands, and the expenses of the three children are also great. We are going to save some more money and buy a house in a few months." Song Shunli said embarrassedly.

The two of them had already agreed that they could not spend all their money indiscriminately before buying a house.

Mu Xiu actually understands the two of them now. There is a word called "poverty and generous". The more you can't make money, the more you are willing to spend some money in your hands, and you can't save a lot of money. But if you can make money at the beginning and then save a little money in your hands, you will become reluctant to eat and use it. You just feel that you are poor and want to save more money.

Therefore, many people try hard to save money when they have money. Mu Xiu has seen old men and women worth over 10 million in dressing very simple, and they are reluctant to eat or wear them.

"Fortunately, it will be cooler in the evening." Mu Xiu spent two summers here. There was no waste gas pollution, only hot at noon. It was very cool in the morning and evening. In the countryside, thin blankets were required in the middle of the night.

"Uncle-in-law, you cook rice dumplings first. I'll go out and come back at noon. If you have any questions, please call Brother Chen for help." Mu Xiu stood up. She came to the county town this time and had something else to do.

"Okay, go and do your business." Song Shunli waved his hand at Mu Xiu.

Mu Xiu walked to the shop in front, explained a few words to Chen Xuhui who had already been in front of him, and left. When she walked to a secluded place, she took out her bicycle and put all the things she had prepared before into the basket behind. She went to Sun Xingfu's pickle shop first.

It was already ten o'clock now, and the peak period for the first wave of meals had passed. At this moment, there were only a few customers and people coming in and out to buy pickles.

"Mu Xiu, you're here." Sun Xingfu looked up and saw Mu Xiu who had just got off the bicycle.

"Uncle Sun, it's Dragon Boat Festival tomorrow. I'll give you and Aunt Cui some rice dumplings." Mu Xiu stopped his bicycle and took out a bag of rice dumplings from the basket behind. Mu Xiu used to wrap a lot of rice dumplings and put them in the space. These rice dumplings have more flavors, including bacon, egg yolk, candied date, peanut rice dumplings, bean paste rice dumplings, bacon rice dumplings, lotus paste rice dumplings.

"You are careful. We also said that we could soak glutinous rice this afternoon and make some suitable for the solar terms. We will save trouble when you send zongzi." Sun Xingfu took the zongzi and said happily.

"You and Aunt Cui are usually busy, so you are not as free as me." Mu Xiu smiled, said goodbye to Sun Xingfu, and went to the next place.

Sun Xingfu took the rice dumplings to the kitchen and asked Huang Cui to cook them. Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. The rice dumplings are cooked first and then placed there, so that they will not break easily.

"Where did you buy this?" Huang Cui glanced at the Zongzi and asked while burning water.

"Gangmuxiu came to deliver it. He said that it was Dragon Boat Festival and he made the rice dumplings at home." Sun Xingfu sat on the bench at the kitchen door to rest.

"Looking at the business of opening a snack shop, it's much better than ours. Why didn't she open it with ours? Those snacks are easy and easy to sell, but not like ours. Not only are they smoked and fire-filled every day, but they can't finish washing dishes. In winter, the dishwashing water is cold and the hands are frozen. In summer, cooking will make people suffocate..." Huang Cui has been thinking about it since Sun Xingfu last learned from Sun Xingfu that the snack shop was opened by Mu Xiu and his aunt in the city, and now she can't help but complain.

"Our family is a pickle shop. Why did people come to sell snacks with us at that time? Not to mention anything else. At that time, she really told us not to sell pickle, but you would agree?" Sun Xingfu had little temper, but his tone was indescribable.

"I..." Huang Cui was a little stuck. Indeed, if Mu Xiu suggested not to sell pickles, she would definitely be the first to jump out and disagree. After all, they started by selling pickles and made a living by randomly. That would be too unsafe. What should I do if I lose money!

"We must have a conscience in being a human being. We must be content with our family's life now. If we don't have Mu Xiu, our business would be so good?"
