Chapter 15: Learn to make pancakes
Liu Zhen said: "You have also made this egg, make more, you can eat enough." ”
The big girl smiled and nodded, took the eggs and left.
Song Lanhua glanced at Liu Zhen with a smile: "What's the matter, your family also gave us eggs?"
Liu Zhen nodded embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, auntie, when I have money in the future, I will definitely buy you good things." ”
Generally speaking, such a birthday between brothers should give more benefits than others, and the things sent should also be good, and people should be courteous, helping with cooking or something, but because Lin Shufen doesn't give money, his father Liu Dagang is a particularly unreliable. Liu Zhen felt very ashamed, he was still a child, and he had no money in his hands, so he couldn't do anything.
Song Lanhua smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what you think, I'm just joking, I'm scared to see you." Our family is like this, it's too late for everyone to avoid it, how can you have a good relationship with me, I don't blame anyone. Don't talk about this, let's see the extinction of me showing you a hand to make pancakes!" As she spoke, she began to teach Liu Zhen how to make pancakes.
took out the flour to make noodles, Liu Zhen was very embarrassed, the flour of every household in this year is not eaten casually, it can only be eaten during the New Year's Festival, and it is usually mixed with corn flour to eat a little Sanhe noodles.
"Auntie, you really don't have to do this. ”
"What's polite! I'll tell you the truth, our family is dealing with it every day, and we used to eat sweet potato noodles a while ago, but now we can finally improve our lives. Follow me. Don't worry, we will eat it for our own family, and the guests will still eat Wotou, I am ready. Song Lanhua smiled and led Liu Zhen to a room with a special pancake table.
Liu Zhen could only go out with her, only to see her say while making a stove: "When I was a girl before, my family sold pancakes, if you directly spread pancakes, you won't make money, and besides, it's not suitable to sell them all over the street." I improved it, it's similar to pancakes, coated with oil, and the pancakes were fried, and then I brushed the sauce on top and put chopped green onions and shredded potatoes, so that it could be sold. Five cents a piece, many people buy it. ”
Now and at this time, a bun is only two cents, which is considered expensive.
But because of a big craving, there is no need to eat anything else, and it is convenient to eat, in fact, it is a more cost-effective way to eat.
So there are many people who are willing to buy it, Song Lanhua can basically make money every time she goes to the city to sell it, but because she is too tired by herself, she will do other business later.
In the spring, she goes out to sell insoles and chai eggs, and when there are few vegetables in the city, she can take out some radishes, cabbage, pursed cabbage and pickles hidden in the house, and sell fresh vegetables from the vegetable garden in the summer.
In autumn and winter, she sells mountain goods, dates, walnuts, fungus and dried mushrooms from the forest.
These things basically have no cost, and they don't bother, they make more money than potato cakes, and when you set up a stall, you can also do something else, knit sweaters for children, sew clothes and shoe soles, etc., unlike selling potato cakes, you can't be idle for a while, so you don't do this business.
This is too good for Liu Zhen, the dishes at home are not sold by herself, and she will make clothes or something, but the cost of fabric needlework is too high, she can't afford it, and even if she can get it, it is estimated that her stepmother knows that she can make clothes, and her life will be more difficult in the future.
Let's make potato pancakes, these things don't have a lot of ingredients. In addition, the eldest aunt is also willing to give her the stove and other tools for making pancakes, and the cost is the lowest.
"If you don't have flour at the beginning, I'll give it to you first, and then give it back to me when you make money. ”
"Thank you, auntie, you are so good to me. "The two families don't have much to do with each other, but the eldest aunt is so willing to help.
Song Lanhua waved her hand, "It's all a family, what's polite? I have suffered, and I don't want other women to be the same as me, your stepmother is so bad, you usually suffer a lot." That's nothing. As she spoke, she made a stove, mixed some flour, and then asked Liu Zhen to peel and shred the potatoes and fry them, and here she spread the noodles on top, turned them around, made them thin, and put the sauce on them.
"You can beat an egg, but you have to add money, and if you don't want to add eggs, it's even easier. Practice makes perfect, and if you want to learn it, it's not hard. ”
Liu Zhen thanked him and said, "Actually, I was still telling your daughter just now, I want to do this business with her, and I also want to learn from her." I hope she can be admitted to the junior high school in the county. ”
The eldest girl happened to come in to get something, and when she heard that she mentioned herself, she clenched her fists nervously, and it was estimated that if Song Lanhua said a word, she would not dare to refute it. I can only pray in my heart.
Song Lanhua said: "It's a good thing to have someone teach you to learn, so you can follow your sister." ”
The eldest girl walked over with a sigh of relief and said, "Mother, I promise, I will study hard." ”
"That's fine. You have a stupid brain, you have to work hard to keep up, I said a long time ago, Liu Zhen is smart. Now that I think about it, it will definitely be better in the future. Song Lanhua said as she took a shovel to shovel up the edges of the dried cake, turned around neatly, and beat an egg into it.
Liu Zhen was taken aback, and it was too late to stop it: "No, you don't have to waste eggs if you hand it over to me." ”
"Didn't you take it? ”
"You're really using too many eggs today. "It's a rarity. Liu Zhen remembered that when she gave birth to a child, her mother-in-law was reluctant to buy her fish and eggs to eat, or her brother bought her eggs and meat, and told her that the eggs outside were particularly difficult to buy, not to mention the price, but the quantity was too small, and if she wanted to buy her a few catties of eggs, she had to run several stores.
This is especially the case in rural areas, unless the elderly have a birthday and their daughter-in-law gives birth to a child, otherwise they are not willing to eat at all.
Today, Song Lanhua is generous, plus the chicken cake outside, this is almost ten eggs!
Song Lanhua looked at Liu Zhen's expression: "Don't be so surprised, if you eat something, we don't eat like this every day." As he spoke, he turned back to the eldest girl and said, "Don't bring these things to the dinner table, hide them and wait until the evening when the guests leave, and we will eat them alone." ”
The eldest girl hurriedly agreed: "Alas, I know, Mom!"
Song Lanhua turned back to Liu Zhen and said, "I'm not blind to these people. You also remember that if people are good to you, you are good to her, and if you have ill intentions towards you, even your family can't dig out your heart and lungs. ”
