Chapter 120 The Sisters Were Sold
"It's really delicious. It's so delicious. Pingmei, Yanzi, you two should try it. Fubao should try it too."
The patties were all oily.
Zhu Yingqiu didn't let them do it.
She tore off a piece from each of them and put it into their mouths.
“Chew, chew, chew—”
"Bah, bah, bah—"
"How come this meat pie is so delicious? It smells so good that I almost fainted. Sister-in-law, you are really good at making meat fillings. I admire you!"
Sun Pingmei gave a thumbs up.
Gave affirmation.
"It's delicious, sister-in-law, you are such a good cook."
Zhang Yanzi also followed suit and gave a thumbs up.
"Aunt, the meat in the meat pie is so delicious. Grandma, the dough you knead is also delicious. Aunt, mom, the dough you roll is also delicious. You are great!"
Jiang Fubao gave two thumbs up.
Double the praise.
Everyone burst into laughter.
"Give me a taste."
Jiang Siyin put down the bucket and tore off a piece of meat patty to eat.
He nodded repeatedly, speechless because of the delicious food.
"Xi Le, the rest is all yours. You must be exhausted. Let me wipe your sweat. Oh, my hands are all greasy. I forgot about it. Come, the handkerchief is at my waist. Use it to wipe your sweat."
Zhu Yingqiu also did not forget her daughter-in-law.
She took the remaining meatloaf to the kitchen.
I was just about to take out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Qian Xile’s face.
I remembered that my hands were covered in oil.
"It's okay, Mom, you go ahead and do your work. I'll put this pot of mung bean soup into the jar and cook another pot, and then we can rest."
Qian Xile has been a "old cow" in her mother's family for so many years.
She is never pretentious.
I saw her wiping the sweat with her sleeve and continuing to use the ladle to scoop the mung bean soup from the pot into the jar.
She still had the meat pie her mother-in-law gave her in her mouth.
"Mom, how about the meat pie? Is it delicious? Can you sell it?"
Jiang Eryong also came over following the smell.
"Sure. Go out and advertise that you can sell a pancake for ten cents and call it "Big Egg Meat Pancake". If someone buys it, we will fry it again, otherwise the meat pancake will not be crispy."
Zhang Jinlan replied while kneading the dough.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Jiang Eryong let down the curtain and walked to the door.
He cleared his throat and shouted.
"Don't miss it if you pass by. Take a look. Jiang's snack shop has new food. Egg and meat patties, freshly fried, delicious. A pancake costs only ten cents. It's fried with lard and filled with a lot of eggs and meat. It's guaranteed to be so delicious that you'll want to swallow your tongue!"
In fact, Jiang Eryong has never tasted it.
I have no idea what meatloaf tastes like.
Just as he was about to think of some more words to praise the meat pie, the customer who was sitting in the shop drinking mung bean soup waved at him.
"What's the matter, sir?" Jiang Eryong asked puzzledly.
"Is the meat pie you mentioned delicious?"
Jiang Eryong didn’t know whether it was delicious or not, but since the customer asked, it had to be delicious even if it wasn’t.
"Mm, it's delicious!"
Jiang Fubao likes to give a thumbs up when praising others.
Everyone in the Jiang family learned this trick.
Jiang Eryong is no exception.
"Okay, give me one."
Seeing him so sure.
The guest asked for meat pie.
None of the guests sitting at the same table was short of money.
I want them all.
As a result, no guests from outside came in.
The shop asked for ten of them.
Jiang Eryong smiled happily.
He opened the curtain and shouted to the backyard: "Mom, give me ten big meat patties--"
"Okay——" Zhang Jinlan replied.
The meat patties have been rolled out long ago and are just waiting to be put into the pan.
It is called frying, but in fact, with only half a pot of oil in it, it is no different from deep-frying.
Put them in the pot one by one in the order they come.
One pan can fry five pancakes at the same time.
A few minutes per pot.
Just a quarter of an hour.
All ten are finished.
One hundred coins were received.
The meat patty is thin and large, and it feels crispy and crunchy when you bite it.
"Kacha kacha——"
When a person eats, he doesn't make any noise.
But ten people can eat together.
The sound of the meat patties crisping could be heard all over the shop.
The other greedy customers who didn't buy meat patties also asked for them.
It's a bit breezy today.
The aroma of fried meat patties wafted from the backyard to the street ahead.
Plus Jiang Eryong's shouting.
More and more people are queuing up.
Finally the mung bean soup was sold out.
The big pot in the kitchen was temporarily requisitioned.
Fry pancakes in two pans.
The speed has increased a lot.
In two hours, three hundred large meat patties were sold.
Zero cost, just three taels of silver.
On the way back, the wind was sweet.
Everyone in the Jiang family had a smile on their face. It was still early, just after 5 p.m.
Because I didn’t have lunch.
They sat on the ox cart, each holding a large piece of meat pie in their hands and eating it with relish.
at that time.
In the alley of Wanlu Street in the town.
Zhou Xiufen, who had spent the whole morning selecting, sold her two granddaughters to a trafficker for two taels of silver each.
Neither of the two granddaughters is ugly.
Seven or eight people came to ask for the price in the morning.
But a living deed costs eight hundred coins, and a dead deed costs only one and a half taels.
Zhou Xiufen thought it was too little.
It’s only at this time that I find the right one.
"Grandma, please don't sell me and my sister, please. Lai Di will be obedient in the future. I will eat less. No, I won't eat. I will just drink water. Grandma, please don't sell me and my sister.
My sister is still young, only three years old, she doesn’t know anything. If you really want to sell me, please sell me. My sister doesn’t know anything. Grandma, please, I know I was wrong, please don’t sell us, okay—”
Sun Lai Di knelt on the ground.
Crying miserably.
Before dawn, she was woken up by her grandmother.
He said he was bringing her and her sister to town to eat meat.
There was actually no meat at all.
Grandma bought a coarse flour steamed bun and broke it in half for her and her sister.
Sun Lai Di begged all the way, but grandma ignored her.
It seemed that grandma was about to put her fingerprints on it.
Sun Lai Di panicked.
She burst into tears.
Although Sun Simei, who was standing by, was ignorant, she was also infected and burst into tears.
The two children knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again.
None of this softened Zhou Xiufen's heart.
He pressed his finger print and took four taels of silver.
Zhou Xiufen then lowered her head and looked at them.
"Master, I need to talk to them. Please allow me to do so."
The human trafficker put away the paper contract and nodded. He turned around and walked five meters away to wait.
"Remember, what Grandma signed was a death contract. I don't know where you will be sold to. Remember your names. Don't forget. If you are lucky and are released by the master one day, you must save up your monthly salary and return to Sun Village. Remember?
Your home is in Sunjia Village, Lianshan Town, Qixi County, Ruling Prefecture, Xishu Province! Don’t forget the way home! Remember firmly in your heart that grandma, your parents, and your brother are waiting for you at home, okay? You must please the master and get more reward silver...”
Zhou Xiufen also didn't know where her granddaughter would be sold.
Maybe we will never see each other again in this life.
She told her granddaughters the way home.
I’m afraid that they will make money in the future but forget who they are.
