Chapter 39: Where Did Second Uncle Take My Mother?

The next day, after breakfast, Ge Xiaozhu went to the polder again.

Xu Tongdao also began to prepare the bait needed to put the shrimp bandage, his plan today is similar to yesterday, to put the shrimp bandage in the morning, and to hand over the shrimp bandage to his younger brother and sister in the afternoon, and he will go to the county to buy mutton and come back for the test.

It is indeed a bit troublesome to go to the county seat for two days in a row, but although it often rains in this season, the temperature is not low, and there is no refrigerator at his house.

However, he still plans to buy a little more pound or two today.

The more mutton he bought, he plans to do one more experiment.

Anyway, now he doesn't need to go to the polder to replace his mother at night, and he has time to do two experiments with skewers in one night.

"Yuzhu, how much did the river shrimp sell yesterday?"

When preparing the bait, Xu Tongdao suddenly remembered to ask about it.

My sister Ge Yuzhu was changing her shoes, and when she heard this, she raised her hand and patted her head, "Oh, I forgot to give you the money I sold yesterday, big brother, you wait! I'll give it to you right away, hehe, I sold it for a lot ......of money yesterday! A total of 52, brother, or you don't sell any mutton skewers, just put shrimp bandages every day!

52......

Xu Tongdao nodded slightly in his heart, but at his sister's suggestion, he shook his head, "It's not a long-term solution to put shrimp bandages, and the skewers still have to be sold!"

"Why, why isn't it a long-term solution?" Ge Yuzhu was puzzled.

Xu Tonglu also squinted.

Xu Tongdao smiled faintly, "There is no technical content in putting shrimp bandages, believe it or not, in a few days, there will be people in our village, and even a few nearby villages will learn from us to do this? Although the West River is big and long enough, there are also a number of river shrimps in it, and there are more people doing it, and after a long time, there will definitely not be many river shrimps every day, and once there are more people in the West River, the boss who contracts the West River may not be allowed to put shrimp in the river, understand?"

After listening to Xu Tongdao's explanation, Xu Tonglu retracted his gaze.

Ge Yuzhu was stunned and sighed, "Alas, it's a pity, I understand, big brother." ”

After changing his shoes, Ge Yuzhu immediately sent the money from selling shrimp yesterday to Xu Tongdao, Xu Tongdao had just stuffed the money into his pocket here, and Xu Tonglin's voice came from outside the door.

"I'm coming! Xiaodao, are you still going to put shrimp bandages today?"

"Hmm. ”

Xu Tongdao glanced out of the door and answered.

I was thinking in my heart, did Xu Tonglin think about it?

Xu Tonglin strode into the door, and without Xu Tongdao asking, he sighed: "Alas! I told my parents what you told me last night, but they still didn't agree, but they annoyed me, by the way! Xiaodao, have you still grilled lamb skewers in the past two days? Otherwise, when you bake them next time, give me a few skewers and take them back for them to taste? When they taste your lamb skewers, maybe they will be able to change their minds, what do you think of this idea?"

"What's the matter, big brother?" asked Ge Yuzhu, who didn't know the truth, suspiciously.

Xu Tonglu also looked over.

Xu Tongdao ignored his sister and nodded to Xu Tonglin, "Okay! It just so happens that I will do the test today, when the time comes, you come early, and when it is baked, you can take it back and give them a taste while it is hot, it will not taste good when it is cold." ”

Xu Tonglin's eyes lit up, "Okay! Great, but my dad may not be at home at that time, and he will flood control in the polder, but it doesn't matter, I'll see if I can convince my mother first, hehe, I'll give them a break this time!" ”

Break through each of your own parents?

Xu Tongdao wanted to laugh a little.

Ge Yuzhu's curiosity was completely aroused, "Big brother, Brother Lin Zi, what are you talking about? What are you trying to convince your mother?"

Xu Tonglin chuckled, "Your eldest brother told me to go with him to set up a stall to sell mutton skewers, but my parents didn't agree, I'm not trying to convince them! ”

"Huh, what's going on?" Ge Yuzhu was surprised.

Xu Tonglu silently withdrew his gaze again.

......

That afternoon, Xu Tongdao handed over all the shrimp to his younger brother, sister, and Xu Tonglin Lane as planned, and he took a boat to the county seat again.

The ferry ticket is not expensive, and it only costs two dollars for a round trip.

This time he went to the county seat to buy mutton, and after careful comparison, he found that it was the same mutton, but the smell of different mutton was indeed significantly different.

After some selection, he bought a leg of lamb and came back.

As soon as he got home, he started preparing the skewers.

The lamb leg was boneed and skinned, and then the lamb was split in half as the raw material for the two trials tonight.

Half of the lamb was going to be soaked in water for about an hour, and the other half was ready to soak for two hours.

Depending on the time of soaking, the degree of blood and water in the mutton will naturally be different.

He wanted to soak it in water to remove some of the smell of mutton.

But I am afraid that after soaking for a long time, the umami of the roasted mutton will be much worse.

So he wanted to see how much difference there was between lamb soaked for one hour and soaked for two hours in terms of the severity of the flavor and the degree of strong umami.

He was busy here, and not long after, his younger brother and sister came back from selling river shrimp, and his younger sister hurried to wash rice, cook rice, and prepare dinner, while watching his eldest brother busy there curiously.

Xu Tonglu silently stood aside and watched.

When he sees a need for help, he will also help.

After a while, Xu Tonglin, who had already had dinner when he went home, also came with great interest, followed to help, and asked a few curious questions from time to time.

When Xu Tongdao lit the charcoal fire of the tandoor and the smoke curled, his mother Ge Xiaozhu also came back from the polder.

As soon as she got home, she saw that her eldest son was preparing roast mutton again, and she was obviously a little distressed.

"Xiaodao, it's not easy for you to make some money every day, but it's a pity to buy so much mutton every day and come back to roast!

When Xu Tongdao heard this, he smiled, "Mom! sharpen the knife and cut the wood, since I want to do this business, of course I must be prepared, and I will do it when I am sure, don't feel sorry for this money, I will double the income in the future!

Ge Xiaozhu opened her mouth and wanted to persuade again, but she was already stupid, and when she saw that Xu Tongdao finished speaking, she had already turned around and entered the kitchen, and she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

After dinner, Xu Tongdao began today's first kebab trial.

Holding a handful of skewers in both his left and right hands, he patiently roasted them on the fire, and it didn't take long for the aroma of lamb to waft out.

After he sprinkled chili powder and cumin powder on the skewers, the aroma of the skewers was even more intense, and before the skewers in his hand were ready, there were more neighbors attracted than yesterday.

Ge Xiaotian also came with a smile with his family's flowers.

Even Cao Xin was attracted again.

More than a dozen people gathered around Xu Tongdao, talking and laughing, waiting for the skewers in Xu Tongdao's hands, and several half-grown children were already drooling.

At this moment, a young woman's mocking voice suddenly came from outside the crowd.

"Yo, Second Auntie, why is your house so lively today? What are so many people doing here......? Are you here to eat kebabs? Your dad took my mom away, and you're still interested in eating kebabs here? Second aunt!! I'm here to tell you an explanation today! Tell me honestly, where did my second uncle's bastard take my mom?"

As soon as the woman's voice rang out, the crowd quickly moved away, revealing a young woman with a melon seed face and a young man with a long face at the back door.

The ironic words just now came from the mouth of the young woman, and her eyebrows were upside down and her face was full of anger.
