Chapter 342： Make sugar cakes

Chun Niang’s natal family was also hit by floods, so Mrs. Xu took her eldest son and his family to seek refuge with her eldest daughter.

But she felt uncomfortable staying at her daughter's house, so Mrs. Xu discussed with her son and daughter-in-law to spend money to build two houses at the market outside Dongchen Village, which would be convenient in the future.

Xu Da and his wife naturally had no problem with it, but this place was Chen's territory in the East Village. Although the market outside the village was an ownerless wasteland where no birds pooped, they had to get the consent of Patriarch Chen and Jiang Sanlang if they wanted to build a house here.

Now Jiang Sanlang and his wife are back, and his nephew Jiang Jie is also going home together. Xu Da immediately sends over the congratulatory gifts carefully prepared by himself and his wife.

The nephew was in Zhongxiu, and he also tested the third place in the whole state government. They all felt that there were light on the face, and they were straight on the layman.

As soon as Yingbao and his younger brother returned to the village, they were watched by the whole village.

Of course, the main thing is to watch my younger brother Jiang Jie.

To this end, Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang helped their third brother to prepare more than twenty banquets and invited the whole village to have dinner.

Chief Chen held Jiang Jie’s hand and sat at their table, eating together with the elders.

Mr. Wu and Zhou Wuchang were invited to sit down at the top, and Patriarch Chen personally toasted to them.

Although Jiang Jie is not a child of the Chen clan, he is from Dongchen Village. When he heard that Jiang Jie had won the exam, the Chen clan leader was even more delighted than when Chen Changping passed the exam.

Mr. Wu is a few years younger than Patriarch Chen, not even sixty yet. When Patriarch Chen toasted him, he also returned the toast.

Ying Bao, Jiang Wu, Yuan Bao, Huzi Wei Zhan and others were eating at another table. They saw Chen Zhao walking up with her brother Chen Xu, and they squeezed into the table and sat down next to Ying Bao.

Chen Zhao first took some food for his brother to eat, and then said to Ying Bao, "Ying Bao, can I be your maid?"

Ying Bao opened her mouth wide in surprise, wondering what caused Chen Zhao's convulsion.

Chen Zhao pulled her and whispered: "Don't look like this, what I said is true."

Ying Bao immediately shook his head and refused: "No, your father is a scholar and has a great reputation. I don't dare to use you."

Chen Zhao curled his lips and muttered softly: "So what if he is a scholar?" It's not like he doesn't care about the life or death of his younger brother and their sisters.

Ying Bao was concentrating on eating when she suddenly saw five-year-old Chen Xubao looking at her and handing her something he was holding in his hand.

Yingbao ignored him and didn't answer.

“Sister Yingbao, here you go.” Chen Xubao perseveredly put what was in his palm into her hand.

Yingbao looked down and saw that it was a small green frog.

The little frog bulged its white belly desperately and tried to struggle out.

Yingbao directly stuffed the frog back to Chen Xubao: "I don't want it, you can play with it yourself."

This Xu Bao seems to be different from his previous life. Now that he has grown up, his facial features are less and less like Chen Xu in his previous life.

Perhaps, this Xu Bao is not the child in the previous life at all, because not only the appearance is different, but their ages are also different.

Thinking of this, Ying Bao felt relieved, reached out and touched Xu Bao's head, and asked, "Have you gone to school?"

Xu Bao shook his head, lowered his head and touched the little frog's head with his fingers.

Chen Zhao said from the side: "Grandpa asked Xu Bao to go to school again next year."

Xu Bao suddenly raised his head and said to his sister, "I want to go to school!"

“Okay, let’s tell grandpa when we get back that he can let you go to school.” Chen Zhao comforted his younger brother.

After dinner, Ying Bao and her brothers went to Luyuan to see You You. Chen Zhao led Chen Xubao and followed behind.

Yoyou is becoming more and more powerful now. After seeing Ying Bao, he walked over proudly with his head raised. Yingbao patted Youyou's neck and stuffed a handful of fresh golden ears into its mouth.

 Wei Zhan and Yuanbao Huzi Jiang Wu also touched the big deer. They saw it lowered its head and touched its ferocious antlers.

This antler is newly grown, the previous one fell off long ago and was kept by Jiang Sanlang at home.

Chen Xubao also came over to touch the deer, and called him brother next to Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu was also very familiar with him, and even directed Youyou to lower his head and let Chen Xubao touch his big horn.

Chen Zhao smiled and said to Ying Bao: "Xu Bao really likes Jiang Wu and goes to the martial arts training ground to play with him every day."

Ever since Jiang Wu saved Xu Bao that time, the child has been clinging to Jiang Wu like a little tail, and sometimes even goes to Jiang's house to eat.

If Chen Zhao hadn't asked him to go home, he would have slept with Jiang Wu at night.

Yingbao didn't say anything.

After a while, Xu Bao followed Jiang Wu and a group of boys to the martial arts training ground. Chen Zhao then said to Ying Bao: "Ying Bao, have you met my father and Chu Man in the county?"

Yingbao shook his head: "No."

Chen Zhao snorted and said angrily: "Since Chu Man went to the county town, she often encouraged my father to ask for money from my grandparents. If my grandparents had no money, she would ask her father to ask for it from her uncle. Now even Shu Xiu, who goes to Xu Bao School, has no money. No, grandma is still planning to send me and my eldest sister to the Wei family in Fucheng to be maids."

ˆ Yingbao：······

"I don't want to go to Fucheng to be a maid." Chen Zhao curled his lips and became angrier the more he thought about it: "That Chu Man is a loser. My grandparents originally expected the Chu family to help my father, but in the end, not only were they unable to help , and marry a wealthy ancestor."

Ying Bao: "Are you sure Chu Man spent the money?" Chen Changping is such a selfish person, how can he let his second wife spend money randomly?

“Who else could it be if it wasn’t her?” Chen Zhao said angrily, “Ying Bao, if grandma insists on sending me to Fucheng, I might as well be your maid.”

Didn't Chu Chu just work for Sakurabao? You can get San Guan for a month, and he can also have money to school for his younger brother.

At this time, Chen Zhao had already thought about how to spend the three strings.

Ying Bao glanced at Chen Zhao and asked, "Are you short of money?"

Chen Zhao immediately denied: "No, how could I be short of money..."

Ying Bao ignored her sophistry and continued: "Actually, you can set up a stall at the market outside the village and make money."

If that doesn't work, you can plant some mushrooms, but you have to build a mushroom shed first, cook the nutrient base, and carefully cultivate the bacteria every day, and then you have to dry the mushrooms or build your own oven to dry the mushrooms. Extremely cumbersome.

It is estimated that Chen Laoshuan maintains his identity and cannot do this with face.

After all, the purchase of seeds and the sale of adult fungi have to go through Jiang Saburo's hands.

Chen Zhao blinked, "Go and set up a stall? What can you buy?"

Yingbao thought for a while and told her the sugar cake making method she learned in the pastry shop: "You can use flour and sesame sugar to make fried sugar cakes. It doesn't cost much to make, and you can sell it easily. In this small shop, There must be people buying at the market.”

Chen Zhao hesitated for a long time and nodded: "Okay, Yingbao, tell me how to make the candy cake. I'll try it first."

Yingbao told her how to make the sugar cake, and finally said: "But you'd better fry it and sell it now, otherwise the sugar cake won't taste good when it gets cold."

“Fresh frying? Then we need a stove?” Chen Zhao was confused: “But I don’t have a stove at home.”

Ying Bao: "That's not easy. Ask the masons in your village to make one. If you find it difficult to drag it back and forth, just put it on the market in the future. That thing is worthless. Who can steal a stone?"

There is a public stone mill in Dongchen Village, which is always outside. Anyone who wants to use it can clean it and use it.
