Chapter 238: This Isn't the Right Way (3)
Zhang Xingming said: "Don't worry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoYou don't want to make money anymore?"
The little girl shook her head and nodded again.
Zhang Xingming pointed to the eggs and said, "You can't sell them like this, come, come and sit down, and I'll teach you how to cook tea eggs." ”
The little girl walked to the table in disbelief, and didn't sit down, just looked at Zhang Xingming.
Zhang Xingming scratched his head and said, "I know why you can't sell it for half a day, because the tea eggs are not boiled like this, you look at it, I'll make it for you." ”
He went to the kitchen and got an aluminum basin, took some water out and sat on the coal stove, and said, "You can't use the pot in your hand to cook this, it will break the porcelain, and you need to use aluminum." "At that time, there were no pots and pots made of steel, and basically except for the enamel, they were made of aluminum.
The little girl looked at the basin in her hand, looked at Zhang Xingming, thought about it, nodded, and Zhang Xingming continued: "Not only put tea leaves in the water, but also soy sauce, sugar, five-spice powder, big ingredients (star anise), cinnamon, a little salt, MSG is not needed, and all dishes made of eggs do not need MSG." Remember?"
While talking about Zhang Xingming, he added things to the water, and let the little girl see everything clearly, including how much to put in each item.
The little girl's little head followed Zhang Xingming's hand back and forth, and when she heard the question, she nodded, her big eyes flashed, and she looked very interested.
After putting the seasoning, wait for the water to boil and stir it, let the seasoning melt, Zhang Xingming put the eggs on the table in, and then knocked them with a small spoon, and said while knocking: "After the eggs are cooked, you should gently break the shell so that the taste can enter. ”
Putting down the little spoon, Zhang Xingming took a little girl's tea eggs, and took another one that he had just run to buy, and handed them to the little girl together, asking her to see the difference, the little girl twisted her little head and looked back and forth carefully, nodding.
Zhang Xingming handed her two eggs and said, "Eat, I don't even know what the taste of what I cooked, and I haven't tasted the taste of my rivals, how can you do a good job?"
The little girl looked up at him, blinked her big eyes and thought for a while, then nodded, reached out and took two eggs, knocked them on the edge of the table, peeled off the skin and took a small bite.
She took a bite of what she cooked, and then took a bite of what Zhang Xingming bought, the more she ate, the redder her face became, and her head was almost stuffed into her chest.
After she finished eating the two eggs, Zhang Xingming handed her a bowl of water and said, "Drink some water, now you know the difference, right?"
The little girl didn't dare to look at Zhang Xingming when she was red, took a sip of water, nodded, and then whispered: "Brother, I'll return the money to you, the eggs are not delicious." And the tears fell.
Zhang Xingming bared his teeth and said: "I have already bought it, and the business cannot be changed after the transaction, next time you can make a little more delicious, besides, the eggs at home are stupid eggs, with high nutritional value, I didn't suffer, really." ”
The little girl looked up at him suspiciously, Zhang Xingming nodded affirmatively, and the little girl broke into a smile and wiped her eyes.
Zhang Xingming said: "Moreover, you should go to school now, study well, and go to college in the future, so that you can have the ability to change the fate of yourself, your brother, and your family, and change the current difficulties, do you want to change your life by selling these 20 eggs a week?"
The little girl tilted her head and thought about it, and whispered: "But the family has no money for me to go to school, and the tuition is so expensive." ”
In 85, the tuition fee for a primary school student was two yuan a semester, and the junior high school student was three yuan, plus class fees and book fees, and consumables such as pens and notebooks, a primary school student would cost twelve to fifteen yuan a semester, and a middle school student would cost almost twenty yuan.
Benxi is a heavy industrial city, and it is a mountain city, in such a city, it is not easy for farmers to live, because the market has just been opened, most of the farmers do not have this awareness, and there is no capital, can only rely on land, but how much land is there in a place full of mountains?
Moreover, everything in the industrial cities is rationed, and the peasants have nowhere to sell even if they have something, and they can't sell it for a few dollars, and they have to feed themselves first.
More than forty yuan a Chinese New Year's Eve was really a pressure for the peasants in the industrial cities at that time.
"Do you want to go to school, then?"
The little girl nodded slightly and wiped her face with her sleeve.
Zhang Xingming frowned and sighed, and said to Xiao Wang: "Go and stir-fry a dish and let her eat some rice." ”
Xiao Wang put down his sweater and went to the kitchen, Zhang Xingming said, "Put more meat." Xiao Wang agreed.
The little girl combed the hair on her forehead with her hand and said, "No, I don't eat, I'm going home." Then I went to hold the enamel basin.
Zhang Xingming stretched out his hand to hold the basin and said to her: "It's getting dark, your house is definitely not in the city, what if you encounter danger? You accompany me to eat some food first, and I will send you back, and besides, I have a way to get your parents to agree to your school, don't you want to go to school?"
Yadan began to blink her big eyes at Zhang Xingming again, blinked for a long time, and said, "Lie to me that you are a puppy." ”
Zhang Xingming sneered, nodded with a smile, and said, "Well, I lied to you that I am a puppy, do you want to pull a hook?"
The little girl glanced at him, but did not squeak. Zhang Xingming scratched his head in embarrassment, this little girl doesn't play cards according to common sense.
After waiting for a few minutes, the little girl raised her head again, put one hand on the trouser pocket containing the money, and said, "Eat, how much does it cost to eat, money?"
Zhang Xingming was stunned for a moment and said, "Money? ”
The little girl frowned and said, "But, this is a hotel." ”
Zhang Xingming remembered the scene when she went to give coal money just now, this is a stubborn personality girl, thought about it, and said: "This is our family's canteen, our family doesn't charge money for eating here, and now I invite you to eat, so you don't have to give money, understand?"
The little girl exhaled slightly, let go of the little hand in her pocket, and then said, "But, why do you want to invite me to dinner?"
Zhang Xingming was stuck all of a sudden, what was the reason for him? If the explanation is not good, according to the temperament of this little girl, it is necessary to give money for food.
Looking at her like that, she knows that in her eyes, these more than eight yuan is already a huge amount of money, and it hurts her heart a lot to take it out for dinner.
Zhang Xingming scratched his head and rubbed his nose, and he snorted for a long time before saying, "Look, you borrowed my basin to bring the eggs back, it's getting dark again, shouldn't I treat you to a meal, right?"
The little girl blinked her eyes and thought for a while, and said, "But I sold you the eggs, and then, you also taught me how to cook tea eggs, then, that's not, shouldn't I invite you to dinner?" she bit her lip and fought fiercely in her heart.
Zhang Xingming slapped the table and said, "I'm older than you, I'm going to invite you to dinner, what's wrong?"
The little girl smiled, her eyes bent into two small moon buds in an instant, nodded, mumbled, and let go of the hand holding her pocket.
Zhang Xingming was dumbfounded, this is okay, what about your principles, what about your stubbornness, this routine is not right.
