Chapter 11, Selling wedding cakes on the bus
The two naughty kids were startled and started howling.

"Wow, bad guy! Stinky shit!"

When the widow saw how tall He Yushen was, she immediately showed weakness and said, "Brother, my child is still young, please don't bother with them."

I thought He Yushen would be sympathized by her weakness.

Unexpectedly, he frowned and sounded a little unhappy. "I'm not your elder brother! I'm younger than you!"

He was already wearing shabby clothes and was tanned, so standing next to his wife he looked like an old man and a young wife.

If someone calls me old again, I will feel even less worthy of being a wife, so I will naturally be unhappy.

The widow didn't expect his voice to be so loud and she was embarrassed.

In the past, as long as she called people "Big Brother" in a coquettish manner, people would give her some face.

Who knew this big fool was so unromantic.

The widow was so angry that she almost died, but she still had to put on a smile.

"Excuse me, sir. I call you brother because you look very capable and strong."

The original intention of saying this was to flatter He Yushen and to satisfy his male chauvinism.

I didn’t expect that He Yushen’s brain circuits are different from ordinary people.

He focused on the two naughty kids, "Don't let them step on my wife's bed again, or I'll throw them off."

The two children were frightened by his ferocious expression and stopped crying. They wisely hid behind the widow.

Seeing that he was so unromantic, the widow thought she could not take advantage of him and had to give up.

Sheng Yueqing gave him a thumbs up.

She likes men who know what they are doing.

Instead of being called "big brother" by a woman in a coquettish manner, he would forget who his wife is.

He Yushen saw her pretty little face looking at him with a sparkling look, and immediately raised his chin, as if to say, "I did a great job, didn't I?", waiting for praise.

Sheng Yueqing smiled and asked him to sit down and rest for a while.

"It's still three days' journey to Shanghai. You can lie down and rest for a while."

He Yushen couldn't sit still. "I just asked the staff. They have cargo unloading at every other station. I can help move the cargo and earn some extra money."

He spoke in a low voice, fearing that others would hear him and lose the extra money.

Sheng Yueqing didn't want him to be so tired, "Don't go, you won't make much money."

He Yushen waved his hand, "Even a little bit of food can make a lot. I'll get along well with the staff, and we'll have leftovers to eat on the rest of the journey."

Although they are leftovers, they are all hot and much more cost-effective than buying them.

Sheng Yueqing knew that he wanted to make money for her, so she let him go.

She was not idle either. She took out some prepared throat lozenges from the space and scanned the crowd for customers who were neatly dressed and had the financial resources to buy them.

She walked to the carriage with more expensive tickets and started chatting with a well-dressed woman with a friendly smile.

"Sister, are you going south too?"

The other party just nodded and didn't seem to want to talk more.

Sheng Yueqing saw that she was wearing a white shirt made of good fabric, which was a new style that ordinary people were reluctant to buy.

Looking at the two children beside her, they were also clean and tidy, wearing pretty little skirts, which obviously didn’t look cheap.

Sheng Yueqing smiled and said, "These two children are so well behaved, but their lips are a little chapped. Did they drink less water?"

Speaking of children, the woman did say a few words.

"This trip to Shanghai was to look for the child's father. The children didn't eat or sleep well in the car. They looked listless and their throats were a little red, so I didn't let them talk."

Sheng Yueqing took out some effective throat lozenges and gave them to the woman.

"This is a throat lozenge made from our family's secret recipe. If your throat is dry or itchy, you can try it. It's quite soothing."

The woman was skeptical, "Is it really that good?"

Sheng Yueqing gave her one to try, "Please try it in your mouth. Your throat will feel much better after you eat it."

The woman smelled the throat lozenges and found that they indeed smelled like medicine.

I tried it for the children, and after holding it in my mouth for a while, my dry throat was indeed much better, so I gave it to my children to try. This candy is slightly bitter, but also a little sweet, and you can taste a faint medicinal aroma.

The two children liked it as they put it in their mouths. They looked at the woman in a coquettish manner and asked her to buy it.

Seeing that the children were in high spirits, the woman's mood improved and she became polite to Sheng Yueqing.

"Girl, do you still have this kind of candy? Sell me a box. The journey is long, and I also want to use the candy to comfort the child."

Sheng Yueqing generously took out a box and said, "Take no more than two or three pills a day. Don't eat too much. This kind of candy is good for reducing internal heat."

The woman nodded and asked her how much.

Sheng Yueqing didn't ask for too much. "It's two dollars and fifty cents a box. There are a lot of herbs in it. It's not expensive."

Fortunately, she picked the herbs herself, otherwise the cost would be much higher.

The woman knew that the herbs were not cheap, so she bought a box.

Sheng Yueqing took the money and took out the wedding cakes she had made herself.

"This is also a wedding cake made with my family's unique secret recipe. It is usually used as a souvenir at wedding banquets."

"I'm lucky enough to meet you today. Can I ask you to try a piece?"

The eldest sister had been eating bland porridge for three days and wanted to change her taste, so she nodded and said, "Then I'll try it."

Sheng Yueqing cut the wedding cake she had made into four pieces and gave them to the woman and two children to taste.

The wedding cakes she made come in many flavors, including salty, sweet, and spicy.

Just now I saw that the food on this elder sister's table was all salty, and the children's biscuits were also salty. I thought they all liked salty food, so I gave them a piece of wedding cake with fresh meat and ham.

The crust of the wedding cake is very crispy, and the filling is salty and fragrant. When you bite it, the crust has a rich texture, like a thousand layers, and it is so crispy that it falls apart.

The filling is very delicious, and you will want to have a second bite after taking one.

The elder sister was amazed after taking one bite.

I couldn't help but eat two more bites.

The two children also liked it very much. After eating, they licked the crumbs on their fingers.

"Girl, your wedding cakes are really good. Do you have any left? I want to buy two."

She had eaten quite a few wedding cakes before, and they were all extremely sweet.

It's a rare opportunity to eat something salty and it tastes so good, so I want to buy one.

Sheng Yueqing took out a brand new pack of wedding cakes.

The signs with "Good Fortune" printed on them were all made by her in advance.

A pack of wedding cakes contains two palm-sized pieces, in two flavors, one with fresh meat and ham filling, and the other with salted egg yolk and taro paste.

The cost of materials is not low, plus the labor cost, the wholesale price is three dollars and eighty cents.

When my elder sister heard that it cost three dollars and eighty cents, she thought it was indeed a bit expensive.

The two children acted coquettishly, "Mom, buy some, it's really delicious."

Seeing that the two children liked it, the eldest sister nodded and said, "Okay, I'll buy it."

Sheng Yueqing took four yuan from her and returned two yuan.

She is very good at doing business. "Big sister, the ingredients of this wedding cake are indeed not cheap, but we are destined to be together, so I will only charge you half the price, but you can't tell others that you bought it for two dollars."

The eldest sister didn't expect her to be so open-minded and was very happy.

"Okay, thank you sister, I'll definitely make you my friend."

The two exchanged their identities.

It turns out that this elder sister is the daughter-in-law of a certain leader.

Because my husband is getting a promotion, I plan to take my children with him.

Sheng Yueqing asked her where she was going, and she said she was going to Shanghai first, and then she would go north after her husband's promotion notice came.

Sheng Yueqing also wanted to go to Shanghai, so she made an appointment with Sister Cheng to go with her and she could also help her carry her luggage.
