Chapter 384: Kuroko's Mother
The design of large cakes in this period is much more troublesome than after 95 years, because this period is cream, not as light and three-dimensional as the later fresh milk, the cream is thick and soft, not as good as fresh milk, and the color is not as real and gorgeous as fresh milk.
In fact, there is no good or bad between cream and fresh milk, there are two things at all, which are natural changes that arise from the development of people's living standards with the development of the times, in fact, the cost of the so-called fresh milk is much lower than that of cream, but because it is easy to shape, three-dimensional, bright and vivid color, it is sought after by decorators.
The weakness of fresh milk is that it is not hot, it needs to be refrigerated, and it will melt a little if it is left at room temperature for a long time in summer, and it is a water-based thing, which will volatilize naturally, and it will dry up and not taste good when you put it down. The weakness of the cream is that it will condense as soon as the temperature is low, it must be animal fat, and it will be soft when it is hot, it is fat, and it will not change much if you eat it for a few days.
This Dongben is just like the old one who liked to eat big fat meat when he was poor, and after the living conditions were good, he picked up fat and picked up thin people and ate more vegetables, nothing good or bad.
Li Wenyi was thinking there, and Xiaowei turned around and said, "Then Master Li, I'll go over if you're busy." "After leaving the cake shop and returning to the hotel, these five tables will have to be arranged at noon tomorrow, and I discussed it with Chef Zhai Sister Zhang, and sent Ding Chunyan to buy a goblet, it is already five o'clock at this time, and the store will be closed if I don't buy it again."
He drove to the police station by himself and asked Liu Huasheng to help inquire about the trademark registration, and if he ran by himself, he would have time.
This Huang Lao Wu and Lao Hou ran to Jubin Pavilion for dinner, and then the two of them went to Heizi's house together.
Kuroko's house is on the outskirts of the city, in the northwest corner of the city, on the shantytown, and it seems that most of the entire Dragon City is a shantytown these days.
This area is a mixed urban-peasant area, where urban and rural households live together in a crowded manner, and those who work to farm and do small business are unemployed.
Huang Lao Wu and Lao Hou walked all the way from the hotel to this side, walking for more than half an hour, it is a habit for people to go out and walk in this era, unlike later generations who went out to fight.
A black-tiled bungalow, muddy streets and narrow alleys, dirty ditches in the middle of the houses, garbage everywhere on the roadside shake in the wind, and the smell of aqua toilets wafts faintly in the air.
Turning around in the alley, Huang Lao Wu and Lao Hou came to the door of Heizi's house, and they didn't shout, they reached in directly from the lock hole and opened the door and entered the courtyard.
Heizi's mother was standing at the door of the house with a basin of water, the mud floor in the yard had just been splashed with water, Huang Lao Wu and Lao Hou came in, Heizi's mother smiled and said, "You two are here, why are you free today?" Come into the house and sit down. Kuroko didn't go with you? I didn't have a home for a day, and I didn't know where to run and go crazy. ”
Huang Lao Wu and Lao Hou entered the house, and Huang Lao Wu asked, "Auntie, what time do sunspots usually come back?"
Heizi's mother said, "Then who knows, sometimes I run back in the middle of the night, and sometimes I can't see a figure for a few days, doesn't it mean that you are busy over there?
Huang Lao Wu glanced at Lao Hou and said, "Auntie, I want to ask you something, how much money did Heizi pay back to you in the past few months?"
Kuroko's mother said, "How much? Think about it, give me three times or four times, a total of 4,000 yuan, and then I will go back 1,000 and 5, that's all, what's wrong?
Lao Hou asked, "Auntie, who has he been with all this time, do you know?"
Heizi's mother put the basin she had been carrying in her hand on the shelf, washed her hands and pulled a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and said, "Where do I know where to go, you used to be together all day and night, but now you can't find him, how can I know where to go when I stay at home all day long? You can't ask, now that you have grown up one by one, you all have ideas, go by yourself." What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Huang Lao Wu asked, "Where is your uncle?"
Kuroko's mother said, "I went to the workshop, and said that the pump was broken." The second child also followed, and after walking for a while, he walked with you before and after. ”
Huang Lao Wu asked, "When will you be able to come back?"
Kuroko's mother hung the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Don't stand in the outhouse, go into the inner room and sit." Just say something, one by one, what's the matter, and I can't talk about it?"
Entering the back room, Huang Lao Wu and Lao Hou sat on the edge of the kang. Kuroko's family conditions are not good, Kuroko's mother is a rural hukou, and the family of four lives on the salary of Kuroko's father alone, and they have to take care of Kuroko's grandfather.
Kuroko's work was done by Kuroko's father after asking for a lot of favors, and he didn't spend less money when he came and went, and the family's savings were gone, and he owed out more than 1,000 yuan in debt.
Heizi himself is also considered motivated, and he has saved some money in the past few years at work, and he has partnered with Huang Lao Wu Lao Hou to make this deal, he has paid 6,000 himself, and Huang Lao Wu has borrowed 10,000 yuan, and it is quite remarkable that a large collective worker can come up with 6,000 yuan in the first few years.
It may be that the poor time has been suppressed for a long time, after the billiard hall and dance hall were opened, the first month was better, and the second month was a little unbearable, and the income of a few thousand yuan a month was completely equivalent to the monthly income of an ordinary person in later generations.
The clothes were fashionable, the shoes were branded, the cigarettes were smoked, the mousse appeared in the hair, the rings on the fingers, and then there was often no one to find until now.
Looking at the old furnishings in the house, even the TV is still a fourteen-inch black and white, and the quilts on the old-fashioned kang cabinet are neatly folded, and you can see the patches on the quilt with dense stitches. Huang Lao Wu glanced at Lao Hou and said to Heizi's mother, "Auntie, Heizi hasn't been to the store much for a long time, Lao Hou and I think he may be involved in gambling now, and he should have lost a lot of money." ”
Kuroko's mother glared at her, and immediately sighed again and softened, with a helpless and sad expression on her face, and said, "What's the way, you're older, and your parents can't take care of it, what's the use of saying it? You two are very happy to come over and talk to your aunt about this, don't you two learn from him, okay, do you hear?"
After a pause, Heizi's mother looked at Huang Lao Wu, "Lao Wu, does Heizi care if you borrow money?"
Huang Lao Wu glanced at Lao Hou, who had been bowing his head and not squeaking, and nodded.
Kuroko's mother said, "How much did you borrow?" ”
Huang Lao Wu said, "No, auntie, we are not here to ask you for money." ”
Kuroko's mother asked, "How much did you borrow?" and tell the truth if you treat me as an aunt. ”
Huang Lao Wu licked his lips and whispered, "Eight, eight thousand." ”
