Chapter 169: Vanilla Mat
In the afternoon, because Dongmei's buns were not sold out, the family's afternoon meal was steamed buns. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Compared with the pain of eating dumplings, the two children feel that eating steamed buns can be better, after all, Dongmei's steamed buns have just been sold, and the children are eating them for the first time, so they are still relatively fresh.
However, with the gradual increase in the number of times they eat steamed buns, not to mention eating steamed buns, even when they smell the steamed buns, both children feel like throwing up.
The whole family sat around a table, and everyone tried their best to eat the leftover buns.
Dongmei knows that if these leftover buns can't be eaten, then they can only be eaten tomorrow, because the steamed buns, after a day of placement, will taste very poor, which will definitely affect the taste of the guests.
Therefore, Dongmei thinks that instead of letting the guests eat these buns that have been left for a day, it is better to eat them herself.
The two children had limited food and were full without eating a few buns.
And Dongmei Weiguo and his wife looked at the remaining buns and looked at each other.
Although Wei Guo was also full, he was reluctant to throw away these buns, so Dongmei said: "It's a pity to throw away such good meat buns, let's eat some more." ”
Dongmei also agrees with Wei Guo's point of view, she said: "Wasting food will definitely be punished by God, anyway, there are not many steamed buns, let's work harder and eat these steamed buns." ”
So, the husband and wife worked together to eat all the remaining buns.
Dongmei and Weiguo finished eating all the remaining buns, and both of them couldn't stand up with their stomachs.
Dongmei stood up against the wall, burping, and felt a tumult in her stomach.
She felt as if the contents of her stomach could squirt out of her mouth at any moment.
However, Dongmei was very happy because they did not waste a single bit of food.
She jokingly said to Wei Guo: "Wei Guo, although we have eaten a lot, we will start working in a while, and this calorie may not be enough at twelve o'clock." ”
In order not to waste food, Wei Guo ate more than Dongmei, and almost ate it to his neck.
Wei Guo felt that if he ate a little more, it would definitely come out of his mouth.
He smiled and said, "Yes, when we start working, the food in our stomachs will soon be digested by us." ”
Dongmei leaned against the wall and walked into the kitchen, and while preparing to work, she said, "Yes, there are meat buns to eat every day, where to find such a good day." ”
Wei Guo drank some water, felt his stomach swelled even more, and said: "Yes, when we were children, where did we have so many meat buns to eat, it was already very good to be able to eat a full nest of wotou." ”
Dongmei took out the green onions that had been picked, and while cutting the green onions, she said with tears in her eyes: "Yes, the children are still happy now." ”
Wei Guo saw Dongmei crying, stepped forward, comforted Dongmei and said: "Dongmei, the hard days when I was a child have passed, and now I am living such a good life, don't remember the bitterness, be happy." ”
Dongmei shed tears and said in surprise: "I didn't say I was unhappy, I was very happy on such a good day." ”
Wei Guo looked at the tearful Dongmei and said, "Since you are happy, why are you still crying?"
Dongmei pointed to the green onion under her hand and said, "You come and try to cut the green onion, it's strange that your eyes don't shed tears if it's spicy." ”
Hearing this, Wei Guo was stunned, and said in his heart, Dongmei was originally spicy by the green onion and shed tears, I thought that Dongmei remembered the hard days when she was a child, so she cried sadly.
Wei Guo said: "It's good to be happy, it's good to be happy." ”
After speaking, the two of them threw themselves into the busy preparations.
Compared to before, since Dongmei brought xiaolongbaozi, the work has been harder.
In the past, as long as Dongmei was busy until about ten o'clock in the evening, she could basically complete the daily preparations.
But now, she and Wei Guo have to be busy until twelve o'clock every night.
And the next morning you have to get up at four o'clock and continue to work, otherwise, you will not be able to prepare enough food for the next day.
In this way, Dongmei can only sleep four hours a day.
Moreover, if there is no emergency in these four hours, if there is a water or power outage in the unit, it is common to be busy all night.
After moving into the farmers' market to do business, although Dongmei was prepared to be very tired, she didn't expect that selling food would be so tiring, even exceeding her physical limit.
However, Dongmei did not give up anything because she was tired, she insisted on going out every day with amazing perseverance, no matter how windy or rainy, no matter how good or bad she was.
In order to find the gap between Dongmei and the white-faced aunt next door, she specially asked her good sister, Hongxia, to act as a spy to personally go to the white-faced aunt's stall to eat xiaolongbaozi, and brought back a few xiaolongbaozi for Dongmei to taste in person.
After tasting and researching by Dongmei and Hongxia, they found that the white-faced aunt's xiaolongbaozi is really better than Dongmei's xiaolongbaozi, and it really has a faint vanilla flavor.
Dongmei is a very strict with herself, and a very motivated person, since she has found the gap between herself and others, then she has to find ways to narrow, or even end this gap.
Dongmei asked Hongxia and said, "Hongxia, where did you say the vanilla flavor in this xiaolongbao came from?"
Hongxia first rinsed her mouth with water, then gently bit a piece of filling, put it into her mouth and said, "Dongmei, I think, the fragrance of this vanilla comes from the steamer." ”
Hearing this, Dongmei did not agree with Hongxia's statement, she even felt that Hongxia was a layman, how could the fragrance of this xiaolongbao come from the steamer?
Dongmei told Hongxia: "Hongxia, I think the vanilla flavor in this xiaolongbao must be added by the white-faced aunt to this meat filling, so she eats this taste." ”
Hongxia shook her head and said: "It's definitely not the taste inside the stuffing, if it's the taste inside the stuffing, I can definitely taste it, but this is clearly the outside of the bun, the fragrance of the skin." ”
Just as Dongmei and Hongxia were arguing, Dongmei's door was suddenly knocked.
After Dongmei went over and opened the door, she saw Wang Xue'e walk in.
Although Dongmei and Hongxia have the best relationship, they are also the easiest to quarrel, and each of them insists that their views are absolutely correct and do not give in to each other.
When Wang Xue'e came in, Dongmei said to Wang Xue'e as if she had seen a savior: "Xue'e, you came just in time, hurry up and evaluate me and Hongxia, and judge who is right and who is wrong." ”
Wang Xue'e came over this time, originally looking for Dongmei, but when she saw that Dongmei and Hongxia were really arguing, she decided to act as a referee.
When Dongmei and Hongxia told Wang Xue'e their respective views, Wang Xue'e told Dongmei directly without thinking about it: "Dongmei, you are wrong, what Hongxia said is right." ”
Hearing this, Dongmei was very unconvinced, she looked at Wang Xue'e and said: "Xue'e, you can't judge out of thin air, you have to give a reason and prove your point of view before I believe you." ”
When Hongxia heard Wang Xue'e say that she was right, she jumped up happily and said, "Dongmei, on weekdays, in the dispute between me and you, I have failed every time, but this time, I know that you should also fail." ”
After speaking, Hongxia laughed.
Wang Xue'e looked at Dongmei's stubborn appearance and said, "Dongmei, I can't argue or anything, I'll give you a direct example." ”
Because Wang Xue'e opened a cake shop in her house, she has to make cakes every day, so she has a lot of research on cakes, especially smells.
Wang Xue'e easily smelled a smell of vanilla from the white-faced aunt's xiaolongbao.
She told Dongmei: "The reason why the white-faced aunt's xiaolongbao has the taste of vanilla is because when she steamed the buns, a mat made of herbs was placed in each steamer, and those buns placed on the vanilla mat naturally had the taste of vanilla, so they were not only delicious, but also smelled good." ”
Wang Xue'e's words were well-founded and immediately convinced Dongmei.
At the same time, Dongmei is also happy that she has finally found the gap between herself and her white-faced aunt.
She finally had a chance to go above and beyond.
After Wang Xue'e helped Dongmei solve the problem, she began to tell Dongmei the purpose of her coming this time.
It turned out that Wang Xue'e's cake shop was seriously affected because of the opening of the farmers' market.
In addition, Wang Xue'e doesn't like to walk the streets and alleys, so her cake shop business has plummeted, and even on the verge of bankruptcy.
The reason why she came to find Dongmei was to ask Dongmei to think of a way for herself to come up with an idea to bring her cake shop back to life.
After all, Dongmei is the first family member in the yard of the base to start a business and succeed, Wang Xue'e still trusts Dongmei very much.
Hearing that Wang Xue'e's business was no longer good, Hongxia directly suggested to Wang Xue'e: "Xue'e, since your business is not working, then just turn it off." ”
Wang Xue'e was stunned for a moment, looked at Hongxia and said, "Turn it off, do you have any good business there, let me do it?"
Hongxia said: "After you close the cake shop, you will learn to play mahjong with me, and the money you will earn will definitely be more than what you make by selling cakes." ”
Hearing this, Wang Xue'e was amused, and she said: "I don't have that kind of gamble." ”
Hongxia explained to Wang Xue'e: "In addition to playing mahjong by luck, it all depends on card counting and wisdom, you have such a smart brain, if you learn to play mahjong, you must be invincible." ”
Among several good sisters, Wang Xue'e is definitely the highest IQ, she not only has very strong mental arithmetic ability, but also has strong logical thinking ability, at this point, several good sisters admire Wang Xue'e very much.
Among several good sisters, although Dongmei's IQ is average, her memory ability is the strongest, and she can always tell the story that happened with her good sisters more than ten years ago.
And Hongxia has the highest emotional intelligence, and her friends can be said to be all over the family courtyard of the Diamond One Base.
Moreover, Hongxia is still the only woman in the compound who wanders between a woman who has a job and a family member who has no job.
This is unmatched by several other good sisters.
Dongmei saw that Hongxia's idea for Wang Xue'e was simply a bad idea, she thought about it and told Wang Xue'e a very feasible and good way that would definitely produce immediate results.
When Dongmei told Wang Xue'e about this method, Wang Xue'e said happily: "That's great, as long as you can save my cake shop, then for every cake sold, you will get a tenth of it from the middle." ”
