The countryside in Yinshi was completely dark, with only the half moon above his head shining out of the corner of the eye, Yu Shuang nervously grasped the hem of his clothes and subconsciously moved towards Qin Wan's side.

Qin Wan was pushing the wheelbarrow with the things he needed to go out of the stall, and he didn't walk fast because of Yu Shuang.

"Don't be nervous, I've been walking this road in the dark for several years, except for some small wild things, and I haven't had any problems." Sensing Yu Shuang's fear, Qin Wan comforted her.

Yu Shuang was aroused curiosity: "You are only sixteen now, when did you start walking for a few years?"

"When I was twelve years old, there was no moon." Qin Wan recalled the scene at that time and smiled knowingly.

Yu Shuang thought about when he was twelve years old and she was fourteen years old. At that time, she was fighting wits with her stepmother, mother and son, and was heartbroken by her father's partiality.

But Qin Wan was already busy making a living, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Aren't you afraid?" Yu Shuang looked at Qin Wan and asked,

Qin Wan thought for a while and laughed out loud: "A little bit, I don't know what kind of wild animal is on the way, the size is like a rabbit. It ran past my feet in a hurry, and I was so scared that I stood there for a long time without daring to move. "

Yu Shuang thought that the picture was also funny, he said with a smile: "Then what are you selling?"

"My father accidentally bought a sick ewe at a low price in the market. My younger father's hometown is close to the grassland and he knows a lot about raising sheep. Under his care, the ewe recovered from the disease. He also found that the ewe was pregnant. , Later the ewe gave birth to two lambs, and when the two lambs were one month old, I sold the fur of one of them."

The one-month-old sheepskin fur has many flowers in its strands and beautiful flower spikes, making it a good product for keeping warm in winter. It's a pity that his hand was born after a long time, and it was a little damaged when making the leather, so it didn't sell for the price it should be.

Yu Shuang listened to Qin Wan's detailed talk about the past, and she couldn't help being surprised when she heard Yangpi: "You can also make leather?"

"Yes, understand." Hearing Yu Shuang's exclamation, Qin Wan felt strange.

"Then you are amazing."

Yu Shuang praised sincerely that she could make leather at the age of twelve, and at the age of twelve she was still angry and sad because she ate less than the Zhang sisters.

What Qin Wan wanted to do was to have more experiences from her previous life. Although he thought so in his heart, the clear voice of the little brother on this dark and hazy country road still made the strangeness in his heart more obvious.

Qin Wan asked: "Are you still afraid now?"

Yu Shuang was taken aback, so did he say this because he was afraid?

He was not a talkative person, so he was a little puzzled at first? It turned out to be for myself.

A warm current flashed through Yu Shuang's heart, he shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid anymore, I wasn't afraid at all."

Speaking of the latter, Yu Shuang's voice can be said to be very small.

Qin Wan smiled, instead of correcting this, he said, "Are you tired? Why don't you sit in the car and I'll push you."

Yu Shuang quickly vetoed it: "No, no. I'll just go, you don't need to push."

Are you kidding me, Qin Wan still pushes him because of his body? It's too forced.

Hearing the meaning behind Yu Shuang's words, Qin Wan suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, but he didn't force him to prove anything, anyway, he would prove it sooner or later.

Half an hour later, the two came to the stall that Qin Wan rented in the town. Most of the stalls on this road are built by town residents who set up sheds behind their houses. The rent can be paid by the day or by the month.

It's just that paying by the month is cheaper than paying by the day. Qin Wan paid for two months at once. According to the plan, the stall should have been set up ten days ago.

After hearing this, Yu Shuang regretted: "The rent for ten days was lost in vain."

Qin Wan also felt that it was a pity, but no one expected the sudden incident. "It's okay, I'll make back the lost rent money," he said.

Yu Shuang relied on the darkness to see Qin Wan, so he rolled his eyes and said, "You better stop talking big, tell me where I can get water, and I'll boil the soup first."

Qin Wan: ... Well, facts speak louder than words, he just works hard to make money.

There is a side door next to the shed. After Qin Wan took out the key and opened it, she said to Yu Shuang, "This is the yard of the owner of the stall. The inside is rented out to others. They will go through the front door. We will go in through the back door. There are people in the middle." Well, I'll fetch two pails of water."

The well in the courtyard was the reason why Qin Wan chose this stall, otherwise Qin Wan would not have chosen the stall outside the courtyard with a lot of people.

The mutton is soaked in cold water when they go out, and now the time is just right, soaking the blood to remove the blood, and the soup is more delicious and delicious.

Now wash it twice with well water. When Yu Shuang was doing this, Qin Wan set up a special big iron pot. The stove in the shed was built by Qin Wan after renting the booth, and then went to carry it out. There has always been firewood in the backyard utility room,

The lamb leg bone was boiled at home last night. It was simmered on low heat until before leaving. The leg bone has been cracked and now it is put in the pot with the lamb rack bone, lamb, and haggis, and then put on Qin Wan to make it of spices.

While the soup was being boiled, Yu Shuang looked at the fire, and Qin Wan carried a bucket of dishes and chopsticks to the well to wash.

After the mutton and haggis are cooked, Yu Shuang takes them out to cool, then cuts them into thin slices and puts them in a basin for later use.

The sky is getting brighter amidst the busyness, and the smell of mutton soup is also strong and wafting away.

The first ones to be affected are the people who live nearby. The smell of the mutton soup disturbs them before they wake up.

The door of the opposite shop was pulled open, and a middle-aged man who was breathing heavily came out. While he was wearing his clothes, he complained: "It disturbs people's cleanliness early in the morning."

As he spoke, he yawned again, and after wiping off the water from the corners of his eyes with his hands, he asked Yu Shuang, "New here?"

Yu Shuang looked embarrassed, looked at Qin Wan, nodded and replied, "Yes."

Qin Wan stepped forward with a smile and said, "Exclusive secret mutton soup, would you like a bowl of Boss Sun?"

"What kind of boss, just call the shopkeeper. How do you sell this soup?"

Shopkeeper Sun stretched his neck to look left and right, he was already articulate about the taste. There is no way, the smell is too overbearing, there is no way to pretend not to smell it, and he has a delicious mouth.

"Clear soup costs 1 Wen per bowl, 5 Wen for adding mutton, and 8 Wen for adding mutton. If the first customer of Shopkeeper Sun wants to add mutton, I will put more mutton for you."

Qin Wan's attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, and he was not as nervous and flattering as a countryman who came to the town for the first time to do business.

Shopkeeper Sun glanced at Qin Wan unexpectedly, and then said with a smile, "You are quite interesting, so let's have a bowl with mutton, and see if your taste can match the word secret."

Qin Wan gave the back end to Shopkeeper Sun, and said, "Chopped green onions and hot peppers, the shopkeeper can put them by himself if needed."

Shopkeeper Sun didn't pay much attention when he took it, he took a sip of the soup while standing there, and then savored it carefully. After a while, he sighed: "Good soup."

Then he waved to a vendor selling sesame seed cakes not far away: "Bring me two sesame seed cakes."

The vendor immediately brought it over with a happy face, shopkeeper Sun took the biscuits and gave the money. Turning around, he entered his wine shop, looking impatient.

Yu Shuang patted her chest when she saw someone entered the shop, and whispered to Qin Wan, "You are so amazing, I was so nervous that I didn't dare to move."

"It's okay, we don't do anything wrong, we just do business seriously, so don't be afraid." Qin Wan comforted her, and then asked, "Are you hungry? Are you eating pancakes or steamed stuffed buns?"

Yu Shuang quickly said, "I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry."

Just as Qin Wan was about to say something, a vendor selling sesame seed cakes came over and said with a smile on his face, "My surname is Zhang and I have been selling sesame seed cakes here, and everyone around me calls me Zhang Shaobing. , can I exchange sesame seed cakes for your soup?"

Under Yu Shuang's disapproving eyes, Qin Wan exchanged two sesame cakes with clear soup and Zhang sesame cakes.

The current biscuits are far less delicate and delicious than the biscuits in the previous life, but soaked in the delicious and rich mutton soup, the ordinary biscuits become delicious.

Qin Wan put two large pieces of mutton into Yu Shuang's bowl, and Yu Shuang was startled and said quickly, "I don't want it, I'll keep it for money."

"It's not bad for you. Eat, you will have the strength to work when you are full."

From three o'clock in the morning to now, Qin Wan also felt hungry.

Yu Shuang muttered, "I can work without eating."

But the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

A head protruded from the back door leading to the courtyard. With a goatee, he asked with a smile, "What do you sell? It smells like mutton soup. How much is a bowl?"

Qin Wan recognized him, an old scholar in his 50s, who liked to drink, mainly told stories in teahouses, and also wrote letters and copied books.

Hearing his question, Qin Wan put down the bowl, and said the price again with a smile, the old scholar just smashed it.

After hesitating for a while, he said with a sad face, "Then the haggis."

"Hey, okay." Qin Wan made him a bowl with a suppressed smile. It seemed that he had been drinking a lot recently and his money was tight again.

"Add chopped green onion and hot pepper yourself." Qin Wan said when serving it to him.

Yu Shuang saw him squatting by the door and drinking without paying attention, so she asked him, "Do you want a bench?"

The old scholar ate so much that he waved his hand to express that he didn't need it.

The bowl was finished quickly, and the old scholar sighed with satisfaction: "Your mutton soup is good."

Yu Shuang said happily: "Then you will support me more in the future."

"Definitely." The old scholar said absent-mindedly, and closed the back door with nostalgia in his eyes.

"Seed cakes, warm sesame cakes, delicious and delicious sesame cakes, one penny."

Yu Shuang was taken aback for a moment, and then thought that selling vegetables in the market would have to yell twice, so this mutton soup stall could also yell, after all, it was only the first day and no one around knew about it.

Thinking of this, Yu Shuang cheered herself up in her heart.

Then he took a deep breath, stood up and shouted: "Fresh and delicious mutton soup, exclusive and secret mutton soup, one penny a bowl."

After yelling a few times, the tension in her heart gradually disappeared, and Yu Shuang relaxed a lot. Just as she was about to yell again, Qin Wan looked at him in surprise.

Then he said: "Look at what I am doing, I have to shout twice when I sell vegetables, don't be embarrassed."

Qin Wan laughed: "Yes, you are right."

He wasn't embarrassed, he felt that his skin was already thick, he was just a little tired and wanted to rest for a while.

But it's not easy to say this clearly, otherwise Yu Shuang will dislike his poor health.

I don't know if it was because of Yu Shuang's yelling, but after a while, several people gathered around the stall, and Yu Shuang looked at Qin Wan proudly.

The meaning is obvious: that's right, you have to sell things to shout, otherwise how will others know what you sell.
