Chapter 490 Strange Dream
The jelly sells out very quickly.
After working for more than two hours, there are only some scraps of jelly left in the bucket.
Xu Wenyan sat at the stall to rest, and Chen Sanlin washed the last bowl and sat down next to Xu Wenyan.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Chen." Xu Wenyan leaned on Chen Sanlin and relaxed his body.
"It's not hard. You must be tired from standing for so long. I'll massage your legs in the evening."
Chen Sanlin held the hand of the person next to him and felt the joints of his fingers.
"Brother Xu!"
Seven or eight officers and soldiers came over, and Xu Wenyan then remembered what he had promised to save for them today.
"Oh, I almost forgot about you." Xu Wenyan stood up and looked at some scattered jelly in the bucket. The ice water was not particularly cold anymore.
The saltpeter was changed several times in the middle, and it is still being dried in the sun.
"Haha, never mind if there's nothing. We just came to see you."
"Yes, but the quality is not good." Xu Wenyan used a large basin to put all the jelly in a bucket and sprinkled the remaining ingredients into it. Anyway, they would not be used tomorrow.
"Sit down quickly."
Among these officers and soldiers, Uncle Liu, who was the leader, was older than Xu Wenyan. The others were still children, about sixteen or seventeen years old.
"Come and try it, Brother Liu."
Uncle Liu smiled and sat down, placing his saber on the stool: "We old men don't care about your appearance."
"That's right! Brother Chen, we are eating for free and we are not qualified to ask for anything. We will eat whatever you give us."
"Haha, OK."
Xu Wenyan brought a bowl of jelly to the table, gave each person a spoon, and ate from the bowl.
"This thing of yours is really good. It must sell for a lot of money." Uncle Liu ate it spoonful by spoonful and couldn't stop.
"Uncle Liu, it's written there, twenty cents a bowl."
The young soldier next to him saw the sign on the carriage and interjected.
“Oh, that’s not cheap.”
"No matter how expensive it is, it's still food. I said I'll treat you." Xu Wenyan continued to lean on Chen Sanlin to rest. He hadn't counted how much money he had earned today. He was really tired.
Now both of them were covered in sweat, but neither of them minding the other being sticky.
"I can't eat such good food even though I don't have a wife." Uncle Liu said self-deprecatingly, and then looked at Xu Wenyan: "These days, we have relied on you to send vegetables and fruits to us brothers. Thank you so much."
Xu Wenyan waved his hand: "We are all brothers, it's nothing."
After the meal, the soldiers helped Xu Wenyan wash the dishes and tidy up the tables and chairs before going back.
They all came from the Central Plains and lived in the imperial court. They slept in a large dormitory with seven or eight people, and ate from a big pot.
These are what Xu Wenyan heard when chatting with them.
They are all simple-minded guys and are easy to get along with.
Slowly rushing home, Xu Wenyan began to count the coins.
One bucket can sell about thirty bowls, and one bowl costs twenty cents, for a total of ten buckets.
"It's not bad. I sold more than six taels today." Xu Wenyan had some difficulty carrying the big bag of copper coins.
We were able to sell so many products in half because Boss Hong paid us so much.
Now some vegetables have been sold in various households. Xu Wenyan can only earn a little over 400 grams of vegetables a day from selling them. Now there is some delay. If he makes this jelly, it will be difficult to sell the vegetables.
It seems I have to bring Luo Sanyuan with me from now on.
Xiaoman has to be looked after at home. The home cannot do without Xiaoman.
Chen Sanlin and Luo Sanyuan are very strong, so Xu Wenyan can start preparing while they are setting up the stall.
The division of labor is just right, but it's a bit tiring.
But what can you do without being tiring? As long as you can make money, it will be tiring at least a little.
Xu Wenyan leaned against Chen Sanlin and slowly closed his eyes: "Brother Chen, call me when you get home. We'll take a bath together after we get all sweaty."
"Okay, go to sleep, Brother Chen is here."
Feeling the cool breeze, and the fact that Chen Sanlin had enough flesh on his body, making it very comfortable to lean on, Xu Wenyan slowly fell asleep.
......
When he opened his eyes, Xu Wenyan found himself in a cave he had never seen before.
The surroundings of the cave are crystal clear, like blue or white crystal.
Xu Wenyan looked around and saw mostly such crystals. He raised his head and looked up. There was a small hole on it, and it seemed that the crystal in the middle had fallen from that small hole.
Now he couldn’t go up anymore, Xu Wenyan could only walk forward slowly.
The cave was not very large, but it gave him a very mysterious feeling. The crystals reflected his figure, and the more he looked at it, the more weird it seemed.
After walking for about five minutes, a large round pool appeared in front of Xu Wenyan, with a cylinder in the middle.
The entire pool is flowing with milky white liquid, which flows down from the huge stalactites above.
The emulsion drips along the stalactites into the cylinder in the middle of the pool.
Xu Wenyan reached out and touched the white milky water in the pool.
The magical thing is that these white lotions are actually warm and feel very soft to the touch. Xu Wenyan couldn’t describe the feeling, it was just very gentle.
Moreover, this white pool seemed to have magic that attracted Xu Wenyan to move forward. Before he knew it, Xu Wenyan had arrived in front of the cylinder in the center.
Xu Wenyan came to his senses and was about to leave the pool when he saw a pure white hand reaching out from the natural round basin at the top of the cylinder.
The white hand reached towards Xu Wenyan, and Xu Wenyan pulled it away almost subconsciously.
"Hey! Damn it, Lao Xu, why did you hit me?"
Luo Sanyuan covered his cheek and looked at Xu Wenyan with a face full of grievance.
Xu Wenyan was almost frightened awake. When he sat up, he noticed Luo Sanyuan.
He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be just a dream.
"Who, who hit you?"
Luo Sanyuan showed Xu Wenyan his red face: "Old Chen couldn't wake you up. I just got close to you and you slapped me. I didn't offend you, so why did you hit me so hard?"
"Ah? Sorry, I really didn't mean it." Xu Wenyan held his wrist and looked at his face, which was a little swollen.
"I'll make you something delicious to make amends later, okay?"
"That's pretty much it."
Chen Sanlin was sitting next to him at this time: "Are you having a nightmare?"
"That's right..."
