The Strong Wife from Peasant Family Chapter 37

"Uncle, please wait a moment. I'll cook it for you right away." Seeing that a customer had arrived, Li Qingling sped up her setting up the stall, set up the stand, and quickly fried the egg cake for the customer.

As it was only a semi-finished product, the speed of decocting it was also very fast.

Li Qingling placed the eggs into the small basket and handed them over to the guests, "Uncle, five cents, thank you!" Luckily, the product was made at home. If it wasn't finished, the customer would have to wait for a long time.

The guest took it and looked at the exquisite small basket. He laughed. "Looks like it's quite interesting." He took out five coins and handed it over to Li Qingling, and didn't walk far, he stood at the side, carefully took the egg cake and started eating.

This was the first time he had eaten this kind of egg cake, and the taste was not bad.

Liu Zhimo saw that Li Qingling's face was perspiring profusely, he helped her wipe the perspiration off her face and let her rest by the side while he fried the egg cake.

Li Qingling nodded, and gave her seat to Liu Zhimo.

When the guest saw it, his eyes flashed. He smiled and chatted with Li Qingling, "Little miss, where is your master?" He didn't know what kind of parents they were, but after getting two children to set up stalls, their hearts were pretty big.

Li Qingling was not a real child, so of course she would not tell others the truth. She sighed and said: "My parents are sick, I came out with big brother to set up stalls to earn money to treat them." In her heart she said a few words of Amitabha and forgave her for her white lie.

She could not reveal her relationship with Liu Zhimo. If others knew, they would point at them.

The guest was startled, then looked at Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo, feeling a little pity in his heart.

He laughed and changed the topic, "This egg cake is not bad, this is the first time I've eaten something new." Normally, egg cake would just use their eggs and flour to mix and make a cake. It would not be like this, where there would be an egg in the middle with the egg still soft and smooth.

These few days, his master's appetite wasn't very good, so he brought it back to his master to have a taste and see if he liked it or not.

Li Qingling laughed and scratched her head, "The secret recipe at home." She saw that Liu Zhimo had finished frying the egg cake, so she took a basket and placed it in it before passing it to the guests. "If uncle likes it, he can come back next time to buy it. He was dressed well, and his family background wasn't too bad. If he came to buy some every day, it would bring him quite a decent income.

The guest laughed as he looked at Li Qingling. He didn't say no, gave Li Qingling 25 gold and left with the small basket.

Li Qingling did not mind as she turned around to greet the other guests.

The business this morning was not bad as well, and had been busy until noon, when there was no one left. Li Qingling let out a breath and let Liu Zhimo look at the stall.

Without waiting for Liu Zhimo to speak, she slipped away like a wisp of smoke.

Not long after, he returned with two bowls of Mung Bean Sugar Water, and passed one bowl to Liu Zhimo: "Drink this sweet water, and eat two egg cake s." She paused, "Zhi Moge, what do you want to eat? If you want, I'll buy it. " She had even forgotten to ask Liu Zhimo, so he patted his forehead in frustration.

Liu Zhimo told her to sit down, and laughed as he shook his head: "No need, just eat these." He wasn't picky with food. Plus, he saved as much as he could, so he couldn't spend money carelessly.

Li Qingling chuckled, he took one egg cake and gave it to Liu Zhimo, then took another for herself.

"Little girl, what are you doing with this egg cake? Does it smell good? " The woman selling grass shoes next door glanced over and asked.

Raising his eyes to look at his aunt, Li Qingling rolled his eyes and took out a egg cake and gave it to her, "It's made from eggs. Mother, try it." She and Liu Zhimo, the two kids, were setting up a stall here. Business was not bad, they would definitely make the other vendors jealous.

The aunt looked at the egg cake in Li Qingling's hands and smelled its fragrance. She swallowed her saliva with all her might.

Five coins for one egg cake, she had to sell five pairs of grass shoes to earn that back. It was so expensive, she couldn't afford to eat it.

Li Qingling shoved the egg cake into the aunt's hands, "No need to pay, I'll treat you to one." She smiled and said, "Being able to get to know aunty here is also a form of fate."

Upon hearing that it was free, the aunt did not hold herself back and chatted with Li Qingling for awhile, she started to eat eagerly.

The aunt at this stall gave him a egg cake, but the uncle on the other side couldn't be ignored.

Liu Zhimo also smiled as he gave the egg to the old man, inviting him to eat for free.

It was said that after the aunt ate Li Qingling's egg cake, she became closer to Li Qingling, and told him a lot of things about the street.

Li Qingling also learned from his aunt that her surname was Zhang and her surname was Jia. She was a person of the Shang He Village, and had three children.

"Sigh …" Earning money was not easy in this world! If you don't have any craftsmanship, you can only earn a bit of money. "

Li Qingling nodded her head in agreement, and then sighed, with a sad expression: "Who says it isn't? The money that Big Brother and I earn by setting up stalls here isn't even enough to help treat Father and Mother's illness. As for this person, he's the best if he doesn't have any injuries or pain, hah … " That tone, that expression, it really sounded like that.

Liu Zhimo lowered his head and endured the smile on his face for a while, afraid that others would notice it, and then took the mung bean candy water and drank it slowly.

In the eyes of others, they had thought that Liu Zhimo had heard Li Qingling's words and became sad as well.

Aunt Zhang patted Li Qingling's hands sympathetically and comforted him a little.

In this world, one could not afford to get sick. If there was a sick person in the family, even their family wealth would be emptied, let alone two people who were sick together. Sigh … These two kids were not so easy, they had to work so hard to earn money.

Li Qingling quickly drank her mung bean candy, wiped the corner of her mouth, and smiled at the aunt: "It's fine, I will work hard with big brother to earn money to treat father and mother's illness. I have to cure them no matter what." The moment she said this kind of lie, she got used to it and didn't pause for even a moment.

The unknowing Aunt Zhang, upon hearing her words, praised Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo's filial piety.

Li Qingling laughed at Aunt Zhang and then secretly changed the topic, no longer talking about her parents.

One had to know that a lie was to be rounded with another lie. If she were to continue speaking, who knew how many lies she would have to tell.

It was safer to change the subject.

Li Qingling chatted with Aunt Zhang's Eastern Family Patriarch and Li Family for a long time. It wasn't until there were guests coming that they ended the chat.

Liu Zhimo looked at Li Qingling with a faint smile. He did not know that she had that kind of ability, telling a lie like it was true.

Lifting her head to look at Liu Zhimo, Li Qingling blushed a little. After telling so many lies in front of him, she felt a little embarrassed.

Actually, he didn't think that Li Qingling was lying at all. If she was stupid enough to tell the truth, he would be worried.

He laughed and lightly patted Li Qingling's head. Liu Zhimo gently asked the customer, how many egg cake?

"Is this called a egg cake? How come it's different from what I usually eat? "It's good, how much is it?" A woman was holding a small child. If it wasn't for the child constantly talking about eating egg cake, she wouldn't have come over to ask.

"This is a egg cake made from my family's secret recipe, it's different from the usual one, it's very tasty." Liu Zhimo smiled and said: "For such a large one, it's only worth five coins."

Hearing Li Qingling answer customers like this, after hearing so much, he could finally trick people like this.

Liu Zhimo could not help but laugh, he was indeed the one who was close to death, the one who was close to the dark, she had led him astray.

When the woman heard the money, her eyes opened wide, "A egg cake costs fifty cents each, why don't you go and rob it?" With five cents, he could buy two meat buns and a vegetable bun. He could still eat his fill, "Let's go. Mom will buy some meat buns for you to eat." With that, she pulled the child along and prepared to leave.

However, the child refused and started crying. He insisted on eating the egg cake, telling everyone who ate the egg cake that it was delicious and that he also had to eat it.

Li Qingling took this opportunity to softly cut open a egg cake and cut the egg cake into pieces. She then handed the egg cake to the woman and the little girl, letting them taste it.

"Aunt, the egg cake that my ancestor inherited was created with a lot of effort. It's definitely worth five cents."

The woman tasted the egg cake and felt that it was really not bad. Seeing that the child was crying so loudly again, she helplessly nodded her head and got Li Qingling to pretend for her.

"Alright, wait a moment." Li Qingling laughed and quickly fried up a egg cake. Li Qingling put the egg cake into a basket and even generously gave two pieces to the woman.

To take advantage of others was human's mentality, and when a woman saw that there were others who wanted to give it to her, she gave Li Qingling money with a smile that could not be seen by the teeth, and happily left with her child.

"A business mind." Liu Zhimo praised Li Qingling as he watched her put the money back properly.

Li Qingling nodded without the slightest bit of embarrassment, "Of course." Did she know that the moment she made a move?

Liu Zhimo could not help but laugh and shake his head, then turned back to busy himself.

They brought fifty egg cake and sold them out in no time. Just as they were preparing to pack up and go home, the uncle who bought the egg cake in the morning came running over.
