"Are you coming?" Li Xiaoxiao's eyes were bright, trying to hide the person. Fortunately, the injured area behind the man's back was covered by new clothes and no scars could be seen. His slightly stooped body was exposed and the injury was not healed.

"I'm here, don't make the injury worse. The medical expenses are expensive." After saying this, he cast a meaningful glance at the man's back.

Qi Yu suddenly stood up straighter. Strangely enough, his body was already mostly healed.

Li Xiaoxiao didn't care, but snatched it away again, and walked down the mountain easily with a basket of two to three hundred kilograms on his back. The man followed slowly behind him. The two of them gave two cents of money and got on the bullock cart, and staggered to the market.

Just in time to catch up with the market, there were a lot of people walking shoulder to shoulder, and there were all kinds of hawking sounds. Li Xiaoxiao first went to buy 30 yuan worth of lard, then found a corner place, arranged the basket on his back, and folded the fish balls.

Take it out, take out a small brazier from under the back bamboo basket, there is a small pot inside, fill it with some oil, use an iron frame to support the small pot, place sections of firewood in the bottom brazier, smoke rises, simple oil

The device for frying fish balls is completed. Take out the fish balls one by one and put them into the pot for frying. Take out the chili sauce. After frying each one, use the wooden skewers you sharpened last night to pierce the fish balls and put them on each wooden skewer.

Skewer three or two of them and fry them.

The fish balls turned from milky white to golden and crispy, and Li Xiaoxiao became more and more angry the more he worked with them. If there was a little grease paper, these fish balls wouldn't be so difficult to handle.

Qi Yu also helped from the side. The two of them made more than a dozen skewers. Li Xiaoxiao raised his voice and said in a slightly louder voice, "Grilled fish balls. Grilled fish balls. They are delicious and not expensive. They cost ten cents and five."

One, five for ten cents."

The price of grilled fish balls for five cents is a little high. This year’s food harvest is bad again. Who will eat this rare thing? Li Xiaoxiao is not in a hurry, and shouts while making fish balls, "Here are the fish balls, they are delicious."

Not expensive, five for ten cents."

The bustling city and the crisp shouts of sales can always be heard over and over again by the people passing by, and the smell of fried fish balls gradually spreads among the crowd.

Shopkeeper Min, who sells medicine, originally wanted to buy some rare medicinal materials and household supplies, but was attracted by the sweet hawking sound on the way.

"Madam, is that you?" The shopkeeper was originally curious about what scent is so alluring, but when he saw it, he didn't expect it to be the previous herbalist. Last time, he made eight hundred taels of silver from that ginseng stick. Today, he saw Li Xiaoxiao

Very cute.

"Hey, it's from the shopkeeper, would you like some skewers?" Li Xiaoxiao was worried about not opening the shop, so the shopkeeper came to his door.

Shopkeeper Min took out a bag specially packed with stones and handed it to Li Xiaoxiao, "Ten of them." Li Xiaoxiao worked quickly and happily took out the fried fish balls and poured them with special chili sauce.

, and the spicy smell suddenly spread. The shopkeeper originally wanted to come to support the scene, but now he couldn't help but want to eat it. The spicy taste of the fish balls in front of him stimulated his senses, and his mouth and tongue were eager to try it.

"Here, it's from the shopkeeper." Li Xiaoxiao quickly took two skewers of three and two skewers of two and handed them over. Shopkeeper Min picked them up and started eating. The chili sauce is really fragrant, and the fish balls are so comfortable.

While it is refreshing, cool and spicy, the freshness of the fish is also well preserved. There is even flour added in it. It is like soft tofu, tender and smooth and flows on the lips. It also feels like running in a sea of ​​fire. The taste buds are in a carnival. He has never liked to eat it.

Too much food has made me thin, and the skin on my face cannot hide the bare bones. I usually have a bitter look on my face, but today I couldn't help but laugh heartily, and my eye circles were slightly red with a hint of tears.

"Okay, okay, ma'am, you've packed these fish balls for me. I want fifty more to take back to satisfy the hunger of the children in my clan." Some people from better-off families who passed by the market were aroused by their curiosity.

I looked at what the storekeeper of Min Pharmacy said, and wanted to try this delicacy that can make people’s eyes redden. On weekdays, food resources are scarce, and some are good to eat, but there are few that can make people finish the whole meal.

Food with tears in it is even more unusual now.

When Li Xiaoxiao saw the curiosity of passers-by being aroused, he struck while the iron was hot and shouted, "Ten pennies for five, if you buy it, you will make a profit."

When shopkeeper Min saw the fish balls packed and handed one hundred coins to Li Xiaoxiao, he didn't linger and said hurriedly, "Madam, I should go home early today, so I won't stay here soon." After that, he took the fish balls and

A small bag of hot sauce left happily.

Some of the people watching began to get excited, and a waiter from Wanxianglou rushed out from the crowd. He was still wearing the clothes of a handyman and rushed out of the crowd unconvinced, "I don't believe it's really so delicious. It's just a pretense. I don't know."

How much benefit can I give to shopkeeper Min?"

"Give me ten cents of fish balls and let me try them first, but don't deceive others." Lu Chang took out ten cents of money and put it next to the basket on his back. Qi Yu silently put it away, and Li Xiaoxiao put the fried fish

Pour the hot pepper sauce on the balls and give them to Lu Chang.

The waiter was still disgusted, "This cooking utensil is so simple, how can it make something delicious?" After all, he took the fish ball and took a bite. The fish ball was refreshing and spicy on the tip of his tongue.

The bursting hot soup pours on the tip of the tongue, and there are no fish bones. It is simply the best.

After Lu Chang finished eating in a few mouthfuls, he coughed twice and said, "Twenty more." Li Xiaoxiao took out forty coins from his purse. Li Xiaoxiao just smiled and handed the fish balls to Lu Chang, "This dear friend,

Remember to recommend Qingxi fish balls to Wanxianglou when you go back." The waiter took the fish balls, blushed and didn't dare to respond, and left in a hurry. He had to report this matter to the shopkeeper immediately.

The two men came and took away eighty fish balls, nearly one-third less in total. Li Xiaoxiao's somewhat fair cheeks couldn't hide the joy. Qi Yu looked at it and silently put the 150 Wen in his pocket.

After careful consideration, in the past, he could only earn ten cents a day by doing laundry and chores for others. Today, the woman earns a hundred cents. Even if the fish balls cannot be sold later, she will be able to make do with it.

Because two well-known figures were full of praise, and more than 20 people rushed to buy them, the fish balls were sold out in one day, and there were still a dozen fish balls that were not in good condition, so Li Xiaoxiao simply fried them.

He ate it himself, and Qi Yu also ate seven or eight. It tasted really good, better than all the snacks he had in that wealthy home.

"Uh-huh." Qi Yu swallowed with a groan. After finishing the meal, he started to clean up the leftovers around him. He took out the more than 600 yuan he earned today and placed it in front of him, "Here you go."

Unexpectedly, Li Xiaoxiao actually waved his hand, not intending to ask for it.

"Take it, there are still ten taels of silver here. Take it to find a trustworthy carpenter to renovate the house. I'm afraid you won't be able to survive this winter."

The man shook the money in his hand and hesitated for a moment, "You want me to go?"

"That's natural. You are a man and you should be in charge of family matters." Li Xiaoxiao took it as a matter of course and did not notice the man's hesitation as he passed by.

"Yeah." Qi Yu responded in a low voice, with joy in his tone, and his voice was blown away by the cold wind in front of him.

Two people, one tall and one short, were walking towards the carpenter's shop. Unexpectedly, there was a person staring at them from the shadows of the pile of wood in the corner.

The downtown was still bustling with people, and Qi Yu felt a little more confident on his face, striding slightly in front of Li Xiaoxiao to block the crowd who were too close to her.

There were few people in front of the carpenter's shop. When he saw Qi Yu coming to the carpenter, Old Wu, he greeted him warmly, "Qi Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time. It's nice to see you here."
