The fish… took the bait!

Did Shopkeeper Sun really think that everything would be fine if he bought her recipes?

That was just the beginning of another business, you had to know that it was not so easy to take advantage of this little village girl!

Su Xiaoxiao’s didn’t care whether Shopkeeper Sun could see through her intention or not. After all, even if he realized it, there was nothing he could do with her.

He needed the ingredients of egg yolk pastry, and she was the only one in the town who could make it. Unless he gave up this snack, he had to buy it from her.

-Egg yolk pastry

He had already spent 15 taels of silver on this recipe. Would he be willing to give up? How can he explain it to the owner?

There was a saying for this…

——Excellent hunters would often appear in the form of prey.

From the moment Shopkeeper Sun targeted her recipes, today’s situation was already destined to happen.

And of course, Shopkeeper Sun still had another option, to go further away to buy the goods.

But if he could do that, why would he bother to find her here?

It could be seen that the cost of purchasing goods from elsewhere was much higher than the budget that Shopkeeper Sun could utilize for the ingredients.

In the end, Su Xiaoxiao agreed to supply Jinji at the price of 8 wen for one salted egg yolk, which was more profitable than selling the recipes.

After the first batch of orders was placed at the beginning of spring, Shopkeeper Sun asked to try the food samples first and would only pay when he was satisfied.

Su Xiaoxiao understood that Shopkeeper Sun was trying to take advantage of the New Year to inquire around to see if there were any other supply channels.

——

The snacks were sold out at 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 and said, “Close the stall! This year’s business is done!”

Su Ergou still wished to continue the business and said, “It’s so fast ah.”

“Not so fast, it’s already afternoon.” In the past, when they set up the stall, they could sell it all out in less than half an hour, and never exceeded noon.

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Tomorrow is the little new year*, you can see that there are no people on the street anymore, and the market is almost closed. Let’s hurry up and go buy some more things.”

*Little New Year (小年) : also known as the Festival of the Kitchen God, is a festival in the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar. It honors the Kitchen God and takes place roughly a week before the Chinese New Year.

“Jie*, what do you want to buy?” Su Ergou asked.

*Jie (姐) : older sister.

“I want to buy some peanuts, and then let’s see what we need for the new year.” Su Xiaoxiao said.

Su Ergou said happily, “I like to eat peanuts!”

Peanuts were really good. You could pan-fry peanuts, make peanut cakes, and even make peanut butter.

-Pan-Fried peanuts

-Peanut cakes

-Peanut butter

Peanut butter was a good nutrient for weight loss. Not only as a supplement of the high-quality fat that was needed by the body, but also feeling of satiation. Just a spoonful of it would make you become fuller and would be unable to eat more for quite a while.

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

There would be no more stalls opened this year.

Su Ergou looked at the mostly empty market and said, “Jie, we can’t buy peanuts anymore.”

Su Xiaoxiao sighed regretfully, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in her mind: “If we can’t buy it…… we can go there ah!”

Su Ergou scratched his head and said, “Jie, where are you talking about?”

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

The door of the Fu family was tightly closed.

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

“Oh.” Su Ergou knocked on the wooden door ‘boom boom boom’. “Is anyone there? Doctor Fu, it’s us!”

No response.

“Is that no one at home? Is he on a medical visit?” Su Ergou muttered.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Aunt Fu did not come out to set up a stall. Doctor Fu is not here, she should be here. Keep knocking.”

Su Ergou continued to knock on the door, “Aunt Fu! It’s us! Are you at home? Can you hear me?”
