The fish... took the bait!

Shopkeeper Sun really thought everything would be fine if he bought her formula?

That was just the beginning of another business, you know, the little village girl's advantage is not so easy to take advantage of!

Su Xiaoxiao didn't care whether Shopkeeper Sun could see through or not, after all, there was nothing he could do with her if he saw through.

He needs the ingredients for the egg yolk cake, and she is the only one in the town who can make it. Unless he gives up this dessert, he must buy it from her.

He has already spent fifteen silver on this recipe, if he really gave up, would he be willing? Can you explain it to the owner?

How do you say that?

——Excellent hunters often appear as Fang Shi of their prey.

From the moment Shopkeeper Sun stared at her formula, the situation today was doomed.

It is true that shopkeeper Sun has another choice - to go further afield to purchase goods.

But if he could, why bother finding her?

It can be seen that the cost of purchasing goods elsewhere is much higher than the budget that shopkeeper Sun can use for ingredients.

In the end, Su Xiaoxiao agreed to supply it to Jin Kee at the price of Bawen a salted egg yolk, which was much more profitable than selling the formula.

After the first batch of orders came in the spring, shopkeeper Sun proposed to try the food first, and pay only when he was satisfied.

Su Xiaoxiao understood that shopkeeper Sun wanted to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to inquire around to see if there were other supply channels.

--

Dim sum is sold out by noon.

In the next two days, there were almost no customers on the street, and most of the shops were closed.

After selling the last cake, Su Xiaoxiao clapped her hands: "Close the stall! This year's business is over!"

Su Ergou couldn't finish it: "It's so fast."

"It's too late, it's already afternoon." In the past, all the stalls were sold out in less than half an hour, and it never exceeded noon.

Su Xiaoxiao went on to say: "Tomorrow is Xiaonian, you see there are no people on the street, and the market is about to close, let's hurry up and go shopping again."

"Sister, what do you want to buy?" Su Ergou asked.

"I want to buy some peanuts, and then I'll see what's missing for the new year." Su Xiaoxiao said.

Su Ergou said happily: "I like to eat peanuts!"

Peanuts are really good. You can fry peanuts, make peanut crisps, or make peanut butter.

Peanut butter is a good nutrition for weight loss. It can not only supplement the high-quality fat needed by the body, but also enhance the feeling of fullness. A spoonful of it will make you so tired that you can't eat for a long time.

Unfortunately, when they arrived at the market, the peanut sellers had already closed their stalls.

There will be no more stalls this year.

Su Ergou looked at the half-empty market: "Sister, I can't buy peanuts anymore."

Su Xiaoxiao sighed regretfully, suddenly, a flash of light flashed in her mind: "If you can't buy it...you can buy it there!"

Su Ergou scratched his head: "Sister, where are you talking about?"

Two quarters of an hour later, the two arrived at Chunliu Lane stepping on the thick snow.

Fu's door was closed.

Su Xiaoxiao put her hands in her warm sleeves and was too lazy to take them out, so she ordered her younger brother: "Ergou, knock on the door."

"Oh." Su Ergou slammed on the wooden door, "Is anyone there? Fu Langzhong! It's us!"

no response.

"Aren't you at home? Are you on a medical visit?" Su Ergou muttered.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Aunt Fu didn't come out of the booth, Mr. Fu is not here, she should be here, keep knocking."

Su Ergou continued to knock on the door: "Ms. Fu! It's us! Are you at home? Can you hear me?"

Probably because they made too much noise and disturbed the neighbor next door, a woman in her early thirties opened the far door of her house and came out.

She looked at the siblings and frowned and said, "Don't knock, don't knock! Fu Langzhong is on a doctor's visit! Not here!"

Su Xiaoxiao asked politely: "We are looking for Mrs. Fu, is she there?"

The woman said flatly: "I don't know about that, that old woman never interacts with anyone, who knows her whereabouts?"

After she finished speaking, she entered the house.

Something is wrong.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned.

She didn't see Aunt Fu when she went to Luo Dazhuang to check out in the morning, and she wasn't there in the afternoon, she didn't leave the stall all day, where would she go if she wasn't at home?

"Ergou, flip inside!"

Su Er was stunned: "Ah? Sister, this, this is not very good, is it? Aren't we not extorting money?"

Su Xiaoxiao asked strangely: "What does it have to do with extorting money?"

Su Ergou's expression became even more indescribable: "Don't tell me you want to steal money?"

Su Xiaoxiao held her forehead speechlessly: "I want you to go in and see if Aunt Fu is here."

"Oh." Su Ergou scratched his head resentfully.

The siblings do the same moves, except that Su Xiaoxiao usually only scratches her head when she is irritable.

Su Ergou said: "Then I'll go in."

Su Xiaoxiao warned: "Be careful!"

"okay!"

Su Ergou kicked his feet, clung to the wall with both hands, and easily rolled into the yard.

After a while, Su Ergou opened the dilapidated door with a bang: "Sister! Something happened to Mrs. Fu!"

Su Ergou found Aunt Fu in the open space in the backyard. She was lying in the snow, with signs of struggle under her body, and scattered dustpans and dried plums beside her.

"What's the smell?" Su Ergou sniffed.

"Stove House!" Su Xiaoxiao said.

Su Ergou hurriedly went to the stove house to have a look: "My God! The pot is burnt through!"

Su Xiaoxiao squatted down.

Apparently, Aunt Fu planned to take the washed dried plums to the stove for cooking, but the soles of her feet slipped and fell due to the ice and snow.

She tried to get up by herself, maybe because she was old, or maybe she fell too hard, so she failed.

Fu Langzhong is absent, and her relationship with her neighbors is not harmonious...

In the end, she just passed out in the snow.

"Sister! Is Aunt Fu still angry? Let me go, I will move her into the house!"

"Don't touch her yet, let me check."

To rule out the existence of physical trauma or fractures.

Su Xiaoxiao began to examine her.

Her forehead and the palms of her hands were slightly scratched, and there was no obvious trace of bleeding, but her left leg was broken.

"The injury is not serious." Su Xiaoxiao sighed, "Er Gou, go to the stove house to find some pieces of dry firewood. If you want the kind that is flat and long, I will chop a few pieces if you don't have it."

"it is good!"

Su Ergou responded.

Father Su is a Lianjiazi, so injuries are common, and some minor injuries can be dealt with by himself.

He has been with his father all year round, and he has seen a little bit of it, and understands what kind of board his sister wants.

Not long after, he split several pieces.

"Sister, do you see enough?"

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at it and said, "That's enough, you go to that warehouse, I remember there are clean cloth strips hanging on the shelf on the left."

Su Ergou said: "Sister, you even remember this!"

Su Xiaoxiao said sternly: "Hurry up! She's freezing to death, and she will be in danger if she doesn't enter the house!"

"Eh!"

Su Ergou went to get the cloth strips.

Su Xiaoxiao made a simple brake on Aunt Fu's leg: "Be careful when you lift it later."

People who are frozen are prone to secondary fractures.

Su Ergou moved an old door panel together.

The siblings carefully used the door to carry him back to Aunt Fu's bed.

Mrs. Fu's situation is very bad.

Although the fracture was not fatal to her, she suffered severe hypothermia. If she could not recover her body temperature in time, she might not be able to wake up again.
