During the busy trip, Zhou Chengkang also ran to make up for refined noodles and meat dishes. There was still a little rice left. Originally, Li Qinghe planned to eat it by himself if he couldn't sell it.

When she was able to catch her breath and raised her head, most of the people on the street were gone, and the box that the old lady gave her was already full.

Seeing her stop, Zhou Chengkang hurriedly handed over a handkerchief, "Are you tired?"

Li Qinghe took it, smiled and shook his head, "It's okay."

The last two, they ate separately, and asked the aunt to cook the noodles.

The aunt came over with the noodles, but she didn't leave immediately. Instead, she sat beside her, "If you ask me, you still have to open a shop, and I can't open it here."

Li Qinghe understood in no time, she sold a rare product today, normally there would not be so many people spending this money to buy food. If she had been here all the time, some people would probably not eat buns and noodles in order to buy her pancakes for family tooth festivals, and Madam's business would be somewhat affected.

Today was a good day, because of Li Qinghe's rare pancakes, it attracted a lot of people to watch, pancakes are not affordable, but you can still buy two buns. The noodles and steamed buns prepared by the aunt today are all sold out.

Li Qinghe said with a smile, "Actually, I'm raising fish, and I don't have time to sell this. Madam, do you want to try it?"

The aunt was taken aback for a moment, and then she was pleasantly surprised, "Are you serious?"

Zhou Chengkang ate the noodles in silence and didn't ask much. Li Qinghe glanced at him, nodded and said, "Really, I can teach you."

The aunt instantly understood, "How much money does this apprenticeship cost? To be honest, I don't want to do it myself, I want my daughter to come, and she doesn't have much money."

"How much is Auntie willing to give?" Li Qinghe's face remained unchanged.

The aunt's eyes fell on the last bit of bibimbap left over there. The bibimbap will be delicious, and the most important thing is the rice. She also looked at the copper plate next to Li Qinghe, who hadn't had time to count it. The box was her own, and no one knew better than her how much it contained. She had also seen the raw materials Li Qinghe brought, and it was indeed better than her. This steamed stuffed bun shop still needs to make money, so he asked tentatively, "Five taels?"

Li Qinghe smiled, "Auntie, if you give me six taels, I promise to give it all."

Hearing this, the aunt immediately relaxed, "Deal."

Afraid that Li Qinghe would go back on his word, he immediately brought the silver to her, "It just so happens that I have cash here, do you want to make a note?"

Li Qinghe was noncommittal, and collected the money, "If you want to learn, you'd better do it as soon as possible, after two days of autumn harvest, I'll cook." At that time, everyone was busy, and she couldn't go out for money, and she fell into the eyes of outsiders. I still feel that she ran out because of laziness.

Seeing this, the aunt didn't say anything about making a written statement, "I'll go find her in a while and ask her to come over tomorrow." At the end, she added, "It's just that...you can't teach others anymore."

The tone of the last sentence was much more cautious, and Li Qinghe readily agreed. After counting the copper plates, I found that there were two thousand and one hundred. I spent one thousand and one for the raw materials today, and I just earned a tael of silver plus a few copper plates.

The aunt also helped to count, and after counting, she smiled and squinted, happier than she had earned it herself.

The two returned to the carriage, and Li Qinghe gave half to Zhou Chengkang, "This is yours."

"I don't need it." Zhou Chengkang hurriedly refused, "I'll help you, I don't want to thank Yin."

Li Qinghe took out three taels of silver, "Then I won't pay back the silver you lent me?"

"No need to pay it back." Zhou Chengkang thought of something, his ears turned red, "I will give you all the money I earn from now on."

Li Qinghe was a little surprised and amused, "You said that."

The two talked and laughed and went back to the village. Zhou Chengkang really didn't ask for any money from her. Li Qinghe is also happy to put it away, he can still cultivate this kind of thinking.

The next day, Li Qinghe went to the town again, but she didn't ask Zhou Chengkang to see her off, she went by herself. After teaching for a day, the aunt's daughter was able to learn how to do it, and the money was considered to be in her hands. Before leaving, the aunt took out a contract in embarrassment.

It was stated in the contract that she was willing to teach this recipe, but she could not teach other people in Luoyue Town. When Li Qinghe saw it, he had no objection. After fingerprinting, he took a copy home.

She spent all her money buying fish fry, and really wanted to sell some food to earn some money back, and going to the aunt's shop was just a temporary idea.

Previously, she planned to do something with Zhou Chengkang the day before the big fair, and set up a stall on the big fair. However, because Zhou Chengkang was delayed, it was not easy for her to bring back the things she bought. She thought that the matter of selling food might have to be moved back, but on the way to the town on the day of Daji, she suddenly remembered that she could go to Da Niang It is sold in the shop, and there is no need to prepare pots and pans, they are all ready-made.

I was thinking of giving it a try, but I didn't expect the cashier lady to look at her several times, her eyes made no secret of envy. What's more, she fried more than 200 pancakes over there, it was hot and tired, so she decided to give up this business to the aunt, and she could have a good relationship.

When he was about to reach the village, he saw Zhou Chengkang standing aside from a distance, and when he saw her, he was all smiles, "Qinghe, are you still going tomorrow?"

"I won't go." It's not a difficult thing, she can sell it after learning it for a day and practicing it on her own.

Zhou Chengkang was distracted, obviously thinking about something else. After a long while, he coughed lightly, "Yesterday I told my mother, and she also agreed to this marriage. I want to come to propose marriage tomorrow, okay?"

Li Qinghe was a little curious about the source of Zhou's Xiaoding's money, but it was not easy for her to ask. The engagement should have been earlier, she said with a smile, "Okay."

She answered casually, and Zhou Chengkang's eyes lit up instantly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth grew bigger and bigger, "Qinghe, don't worry, I will definitely treat you well in the future."
