    With the money in his hand, Li Hehua immediately began to act. The first thing was to go to the town to buy ingredients for making cakes.

    I bought some red beans and some fresh eggs from the villagers who came to the town to sell things, then went to the shop to buy a bag of white sugar, and finally went to the place where oil paper bags were sold and bought a stack of paper to use Pack the cakes for the guests when the cakes are sold tomorrow.

    After buying these, she went to the shop specializing in cakes in the town to inquire about the price of cakes.

    The pastry shop she came to is the most affordable one among the shops selling pastries in the town. She plans to refer to the price of this pastry shop in the future, so that there will be no customers who think it is too expensive.

    This restaurant also has red bean cakes. The price is seven cents a pound. Li Hehua stood aside and looked at it. A customer bought a pound of red bean cakes. There were about four pieces of red bean cakes in it. With the numbers, when plan to cut the pieces, it will be a little bigger than this one, and then sell them by piece, and each piece sells for two cents, and the cake is also the same price.

    After buying the things and asking about the price, Li Hehua returned home with a smile.

    After waiting for the others to finish dinner, after Mrs. ** cleaned the pots and bowls, Li Hehua carried the purchased materials into the kitchen, first started to mix noodles, then beat eggs, steamed red beans...

    Outside, the Zhang family was sitting and talking in the yard, listening to the ding ding dong dong in the kitchen, Mr. ** couldn't help it at first, and couldn't help but mutter: "What is this doing? It won't spoil our family. something?"

    Zhang Qingshan was also very unhappy, "Brother, this woman is really annoying, I really don't want to live with her."

    Zhang Tieshan didn't speak, he hugged Shulin and patted gently.

    Seeing that Zhang Tieshan didn't speak, Mrs. ** was also used to the taciturn nature of the eldest son, and talked about other topics with the younger son on his own.

    But after a while, a strange fragrance suddenly came from the yard, and the fragrance made people want to drool involuntarily.

    Zhang Qingshan sniffed his nose vigorously, "Is this the smell of cakes? Who bought cakes? It's really fragrant!"

    Mrs. ** also sniffed hard, "It's a cake, but the smell is different from the cakes in the town. It's more fragrant than the ones sold in the shop. What kind of cake is this?"

    Zhang Qingshan involuntarily stood up and sniffed the source of the fragrance in the air. After a while, he said in disbelief: "Mother, why do I feel that this is from our family?"

    ** subconsciously denied, "How is it possible, when did our family buy cakes?"

    Zhang Qingshan said: "Mother, it seems to be true, it is the fragrance of our house, it seems to be the kitchen..."

    ** looked at the kitchen, and doubts flashed in her eyes. Could it be that the woman bought cakes to eat in the kitchen?

    Zhang Tieshan, who had not spoken for a long time, said at this moment, "Mother, Qingshan, sit down, this is our kitchen."

    ** and Zhang Qingshan looked at each other and sat down.

    Mrs. ** couldn't help muttering, "This woman is like this, she is always delicious and lazy, and she buys and eats expensive things like cakes, eat it, and eat it secretly in the kitchen by herself, it's really a shame for our family to marry such a woman. It's moldy, if it wasn't for her father..."

    "Mother!" Zhang Tieshan's scolding blocked Mr. **'s next words, Mr. ** pursed her lips, and did not answer any further.

    Zhang Qingshan glanced at his brother and then at his mother, and didn't say more, but subconsciously looked in the direction of the kitchen, but saw Li Hehua came out with a plate and came towards the yard.

    Li Hehua had just finished the red bean cake and cake, cut them into pieces, found a basket and spread a layer of clean white cloth inside, just waiting to go out to sell early tomorrow.

    However, she deliberately set aside four pieces of each item, intending to feed the Zhang family. The money for her materials was borrowed from Zhang Tieshan, the kitchen she used was also from Zhang's family, and the firewood, rice, oil and salt were all from Zhang's family. It was reasonable to give it to the Zhang family. What's more, she wanted to give the little guy something she made. The pastry, so this time, she came out with the pastry in person.

    Li Hehua walked up to a few people, ignoring the unkind eyes of Mrs. ** and Zhang Qingshan, and put the plate on the small square table, "This is the red bean cake and chicken cake I made, just out of the oven, bring it to you to taste."

    **'s and Zhang Qingshan's eyes flashed with surprise. They all thought she was the one who bought the cakes and came back to eat them. They didn't expect that she actually made them. How could it be impossible? Li Hehua can make it so delicious. Such a beautiful pastry? Could it be a lie?

    Li Hehua also saw the distrust in their eyes, he didn't say anything, just pretended he couldn't see it.

    Mrs. ** hated Li Hehua deeply, how could she accept her kindness now, even if the cake was really tempting, she would not give her face, "Hmph, when did you become so kind? I dare not eat it. Your things, I'm afraid you will poison me!"

    Li Hehua was silent, not wanting to pay attention, and said lightly: "You guys can eat, I'm going back to the room." After speaking, he turned around and entered the firewood room.

    Forget it, anyway, her courtesy is here, if they don't want to eat it, she doesn't need to care.

    In the yard, Mrs. ** and Zhang Qingshan watched Li Hehua enter the firewood room, and then they looked back and saw the cakes on the table, their eyes flashed with hesitation.

    This cake not only looks good, but also has an attractive fragrance. It looks delicious at first glance, but it was made by that woman, isn't it...

    At this time, Zhang Tieshan took the lead with a piece of chicken cake, "Mother, Qingshan, eat it."

    Seeing what he said, Mrs. ** and Zhang Qingshan glanced at each other, and without any hesitation, they reached out and took a piece.

    eat! Why don't you eat it, that woman is greedy for so much money from their family, what is this chicken cake, why don't you eat it.

    As soon as he took a bite, several people were slightly startled at the same time, Zhang Tieshan was okay, the incredible in the eyes of Mrs. ** and Zhang Qingshan was obvious.

    Zhang Qingshan glanced at the firewood room while chewing quickly, and his words were full of doubts, "Is this what she made? Can she make such delicious cakes?"

    Mrs. ** was also skeptical, but she knew that this cake was not bought, because she had never seen this kind of chicken cake, but had seen this red bean cake, and had eaten it before, but it didn't taste so good.

    After Zhang Tieshan took a bite, he was silent for a while, then tore off a small piece and handed it to his son in his arms, "Shulin, eat some cakes."

    Shulin has always responded to Zhang Tieshan's words. He opened his mouth obediently, ate the cake next to his mouth, and chewed it slowly. There was no expression of rejection at all. Although he ate slowly, he could see that he ate it. good smell.

    Zhang Tieshan couldn't help thinking of the bowl of fried dumplings in the morning, and it was like this. Shulin ate it very fragrantly, and he ate it all without vomiting at all.

    When did this woman have such cooking skills?

    ......................................

    In the firewood house, Li Hehua was packing up the things that he was going to sell in the town tomorrow. After finishing packing, he ate a piece of cake and started to do weight-loss yoga. There was no sound, so went out to the kitchen to boil water to wash.

    The next morning, Li Hehua got up when the sky was still bright. After a brief wash, he walked towards the town. By the time he got to the town, it was already bright and the market was lively.

    Li Hehua squatted down in a slightly clean place, put down the basket, slightly lifted the white cloth covering it, exposing the red bean cake and chicken cake inside, then took out an oiled paper bag and opened it, which contained pieces of cakes that were cut into smaller pieces. This is cut by Li Hehua at home, the purpose is to taste it for the guests.

    After getting ready, Li Hehua opened his voice and shouted: "Selling chicken cakes and red bean cakes, big and fragrant chicken cakes and red bean cakes, free to taste, don't buy if they are not delicious!"

    Hearing Li Hehua's talk of free tasting, many people were attracted, especially the children, their eyes were drooling when they stared at those delicious and beautiful cakes, and kept on tiptoe and shouted: "I want to eat, I want to eat. eat."

    When adults saw that their children wanted to eat, they asked, "How do you sell this cake?"

    Li Hehua replied: "Red bean cake and chicken cake are two cents a dollar."

    When someone heard two cents a dollar, they thought it was expensive and shook their heads one after another.

    Li Hehua said with a smile: "This is a cake made from an ancestral secret recipe. The taste is guaranteed to be first-class, and each cake of mine is not small. It sells for two cents a dollar, and it really can't be cheaper. Come, try it first, and if it doesn't taste good, don't buy it." With that, Li Hehua distributed the cakes in his hand to the children and adults.

    In the end, as Li Hehua expected, everyone who ate it thought it was delicious, and the children were clamoring for more.

    After that, Li Hehua stopped shouting, and just kept busy wrapping cakes for the people who bought it, and then collecting the money. Seeing how lively she was here, other people also gathered around and followed suit.

    Li Hehua sold it on the first day. He didn't dare to do too much. He only made a basket, but it was all sold out in less than half an hour.

    "Why do you have so few cakes? We can't buy them if we want to!"

    Li Hehua smiled and apologized: "I'm sorry everyone, I made a little less today, but it doesn't matter. I'll be back tomorrow. If you want to eat, you can come and buy it."

    Many people who wanted to buy but didn't buy it heard Li Hehua's words, they were relieved and decided to come back tomorrow.

    Li Hehua looked at the empty basket, smiled happily, picked up the basket, and went directly to buy some red beans and eggs to prepare the ingredients for tomorrow. Now she wants to buy a little more and make two baskets to bring tomorrow.

    After shopping, Li Hehua went home in a good mood. As soon as he entered the door, he went straight to the firewood room, locked the door, and then poured all the money in the sleeves onto the bed, only to hear the crashing sound of copper coins. .

    Li Hehua narrowed his eyes with joy, and began to count the copper plates one by one. As a result, there were fifty copper plates in total. After deducting the cost and the money to buy materials today, he could save thirty cents.

    Li Hehua had never liked the money so much like this moment, he couldn't help rolling on the bed and lying with the money.

    After being excited, Li Hehua stringed the money together with a rope, took a few reluctant glances in front of him, sighed, and got up to find Zhang Tieshan.

    She intends to return the money to Zhang Tieshan, she doesn't like to owe money to others.

    Zhang Tieshan was not at home, and Li Hehua waited for a while before seeing him come back with a bucket of water, so he quickly followed, and when he poured the water into the tank, he handed him the money, "Nuo, this is your money back. ."

    Zhang Tieshan looked down at the copper coin handed in front of him, reached out and took it, stuffed it into his chest casually, and then continued to carry the bucket out.

    Li Hehua didn't care, anyway, she paid back the money and felt relaxed. She went back to the firewood room and lay on the bed for a while. After the rest of the Zhang family had eaten dinner, she went out to make cakes.
