Chapter 222: If you can spend it, you will earn it
Xia Zhi explained Mrs. Xia, in fact, she understood Mrs. Xia quite well. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Old man Xia is warm-hearted and loves to take care of things. Sometimes I was invited to go all day, and sometimes I couldn't even come back at night.
At this time, he naturally can't take care of family affairs. If anyone changes the position of Mrs. Xia, they have to complain.
Actually, Old Man Xia has changed a lot now.
"Grandma, my grandfather is back, let's not give him food. Xia Zhi said with a smile.
Mrs. Xia was still a little resentful, but when Xia Zhi said this, she couldn't help laughing. "Yes, we won't give him food when he comes back. ”
"Where's my uncle?" I haven't seen the little black fish for a long time, so Xia Zhi asked Mrs. Xia.
"I went with you~ Master, and I guess I'll come back when I'm going to eat at noon. Mrs. Xia said.
Invite someone to talk about and do things, of course, to serve food. The little black fish often followed Mr. Xia to the banquet, but he didn't eat this kind of meal, so Mrs. Xia said that he would come back after lunch.
"Sixteen, you~ Ye is not at home, let's make something delicious, just the three of us eat. Old Mrs. Xia said to Xia Zhi with a smile.
Xia Zhi nodded naturally, and then saw the potatoes soaked in the basin next to him at a glance. Looking at the potatoes, and thinking about the little black fish, Xia Solstice suddenly had an idea.
"Milk, my second uncle came back this time, and my uncle was wronged. Let's make some delicious food for my uncle at noon!"
She said this, how could Mrs. Xia refuse.
"Sixteen, what are you going to do?" asked Old Lady Xia Solstice.
"Milk, is our soybean oil enough?" Xia Zhi asked with a smile.
Xia Zhi said this and laughed like this, that must mean to use more oil. Old Lady Xia didn't hesitate much, and nodded heavily. "There's enough oil!
The grandparents washed the melons, and the summer solstice washed the potatoes again, and they all brought them to the hall. Summer Solstice first peeled the potatoes, cut them into strips, and then soaked them in cold water.
She was going to make french fries, partly for the little black fish, but partly because she wanted to eat it herself. When there is a refrigerator, of course, the fries are frozen and then fried, but now there is no such condition, but the summer solstice also has a way to fry the fries crispy and delicious.
Soaking in cool water that has just been drawn from a well removes the starch from the potatoes and cools them down to a certain extent.
The potato strips had to be soaked in water for a while, and Xia Zhi and Mrs. Xia went to the shade of the yard to sit and chatter while eating melons.
As soon as he said a few words, the little black fish came back in a hurry.
"Mother, sixteen!" the little black fish ran over, picked up a melon and ate it.
"What's your dad nagging there, didn't you fight again. Mrs. Xia pulled the little black fish to sit beside her, wiped the sweat on the little black fish's forehead, and asked with concern.
"There was no fight. The little black fish ate the melon, and her big eyes narrowed, showing a satisfied and enjoyable expression. "The two of them wanted to call, but my father stopped them. My dad scolded them, but they didn't dare to say anything, they were all honest. ”
"You~ Ye is kind-hearted, and you always offend people!" Mrs. Xia turned her head and said to Xia Zhi.
Old Man Xia's temper can't be changed, so Xia Zhi smiled and only asked if the little black fish had prepared the meal.
"I'll be back when I'm done. The little black fish smiled at Xia Zhi, "There is nothing good to eat at his house." ”
"What's the matter, when does your father think he will come back?" asked the little black fish again.
"That's not good. The little black fish finished eating a melon, then stood up and stretched. "I heard my fourth uncle next to me say that this thing is not easy to chat. ”
As expected, although Mrs. Xia was a little worried about Mr. Xia, she couldn't call Mr. Xia back, even if she did, Mr. Xia wouldn't come back. Therefore, Mrs. Xia could only give up.
The little black fish took another melon to eat: "This melon is so sweet, my aunt's family." ”
Mrs. Xia nodded and said, "She also said that if you want to eat it, you will go to her field to pick it yourself." ”
"Hey, hey. The little black fish laughed twice and winked at the summer solstice. In the past few days, the big guys have been busy, and the little black fish didn't think about it, otherwise he would have gone to Mrs. Wu's house to pick melons.
"Don't go, do you hear? Let your dad know, don't beat you. Mrs. Xia said busily.
The little black fish didn't pay attention to this stubble, so she said to Xia Zhi: "Sixteen, eat in the backyard at noon." I'm going to catch a fish!"
"You don't need to catch fish, let's eat something else at noon. Xia Zhi smiled.
"What are you going to eat?" asked the little black fish with big eyes flickering on the summer solstice.
"French fries. Xia Solstice smiled.
"I haven't eaten it! it must be delicious!" the little black fish was immediately happy.
Xia Zhi ate another melon, and felt that the time for potato strips to soak was almost up, so he came to the hall. Scooping out the potato sticks and putting them aside, Xia Zhi went to the vegetable garden in the backyard to pick some persimmons and came back. Although the fries can be eaten with a little salt sprinkled, Summer Solstice still wants to make a tomato sauce.
Mrs. Xia gave Xia Solstice a hand. The little black fish couldn't help, so he ran to the yard to play with Daqing. After playing for a while, he ran back to the hall with Daqing, and one person and one dog circled around the summer solstice.
The little black fish is better, Daqing eats fat and strong, and it is really stumbling around the legs of the summer solstice.
"I think Daqing has to weigh at least eighty pounds now. "Summer Solstice has already prepared the fries and tomato sauce, and Mrs. Xia over there has also helped heat up the oil. Xia Zhi served the fries and began to fry them.
"I've eaten well with you in the past six months, can it not be heavy? Mrs. Xia said with a smile, "Your aunt told me just now, saying that someone said that when she saw our family's Daqing, she knew that our family was living a good life." ”
Dogs are so fat and strong, can people's lives be worse?
Not to mention that Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish are quite accustomed to Daqing, and they are willing to give Daqing any good things to eat, even Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia are also very good to Daqing.
"The man who spoke was kind of discerning. "The summer solstice is not modest at all.
The fries went down to the oil pot, and Xia Zhi told Mrs. Xia to make the fire bigger, so they were cooked quickly. Golden fries floated to the surface of the oil, and small bubbles of oil were bubbling around.
On the summer solstice, the cooked fries were fished out with a fence and put in another basin to control the oil and cool, and a batch of fries were put into the pot.
Since it is fried, the summer solstice has prepared a lot at once. Generally, when the village is in the New Year, there will be fried dishes. Although Mrs. Xia said that there would only be three of them for lunch, but this french fries still have to be tasted by the big guys.
The fries that came out of the first pot, when the oil control was clean, they were not so hot. On the summer solstice, a fine salt was sprinkled on top, and then a small plate of tomato sauce was poured in.
The little black fish was the first to taste it. He is not afraid of being hot, and as soon as Xia Zhi poured the tomato sauce, he grabbed French fries to eat. The first bite was not dipped in tomato sauce. In the second bite, at the request of the summer solstice, the little black fish was dipped in tomato sauce and eaten.
"It's delicious!" the little black fish said loudly after tasting it. He likes to eat delicious food, but he doesn't eat alone, so he holds French fries and lets Mrs. Xia and Xia Zhi taste it too.
It was the first time for Mrs. Xia to see such a fried potato, so she carefully picked up a french fries and tasted the tomato sauce.
"Well, it's delicious. Mrs. Xia nodded, "This is just a snack for children, and people who drink must love this." ”
Xia Zhi also took the fries and tasted them very carefully. Although it was a little worse than the fries she fried before, the main reason was that the aroma of soybean oil was too strong. But she also knew that her judgment could not be used as evidence.
Now is not the time of great material abundance, the rich fragrance of soybean oil is exactly what everyone admires and loves.
Therefore, what Xia Solstice thinks is not light enough, in the eyes of the big guys, it is the most delicious.
In addition to this soybean oil, the french fries are still relatively crunchy and delicious. Xia Zhi nodded, and he was also very satisfied.
In addition to the fries, Xia Zhi also fried some potato wedges, and she even fried some meatballs.
At noon, there were three people sitting at the table on the kang, Mrs. Xia, Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish. There was a group of small radish heads standing along the side of the kang.
Layue, Xiao Shu'er and Xiao Xialin were all beckoned, and the three children were eating French fries, potato wedges and meatballs fragrantly.
French fries and fries are very popular, and everyone also thinks that the flavor of the croquettes fried on the summer solstice is very unique.
"It's better than what I eat at the table, well, it's better than what I sell at the market. "This is the evaluation of the little black fish.
Don't look at the young age of the little black fish, he has eaten a lot of delicious things, and his speech is still very authoritative. Moreover, Mrs. Xia also agreed with the little black fish, not to make the child happy, but to sincerely think that these fried things on the summer solstice were delicious.
The children were a little unsatisfied.
Mrs. Xia had no choice but to say: "When the August Festival is over, I will let you blow it up on the sixteenth." Fry some of them when the time comes, so that you can eat enough. ”
Several children cheered. They don't dare to think that they can always know such good things, and they are very satisfied with the energy saving and eating enough during the Chinese New Year.
"Milk, you say, if we fry this thing and sell it at the market in Linshui Town, can we sell it?" After lunch, Xia Zhi suddenly said to Mrs. Xia.
"That's going to sell. Mrs. Xia said it almost without thinking about it, and then she realized that Xia Zhi's words might not be said casually. "Sixteen, are you going to ......?"
"Milk, we don't have any money on hand......"
Xia Solstice spread his hands.
first tied up the cart, and then bought all the wheat of Second Uncle Xia. If Xia Zhi hadn't put all the money she earned into the pawnshop, the money would naturally be nothing, but the fact is that the silver she took home was only a fraction.
was able to buy all the wheat of Second Uncle Xia, or Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia took out their savings.
These days, everyone is busy harvesting wheat, and they haven't embroidered a few purses. If Xia Zhi wants to have more money in his hands, he has to think of other ways to make money.
Her first thought was to continue harvesting wheat. There is someone who is in a hurry to sell the wheat because she needs money, and she can make this difference from it.
However, harvesting wheat requires capital, and it is not a small capital.
If Xia Zhi wants to do this business, he has to go to Fucheng and take out all the silver he put in the pawnshop for profit. Moreover, it is a little late to start harvesting wheat now.
Xia Zhi finally decided not to do this business for the time being.
So is there any business with a small capital but a lot of profits?
On market days, there are many food stalls. There are also a lot of fried foods, but the most are fried dough sticks, followed by meatballs and oil cakes.
Although Xia Zhi is confident that the same food he makes will definitely be better than the one sold on the market, he does not plan to sell the same food as others.
The so-called one trick is fresh, and it is eaten all over the world. If she wants to sell food, then sell what is not in the market.
Because I feel sorry for the little black fish, I also want to eat French fries, so Xia Zhi wants to simply sell French fries and potato wedges.
The raw materials used in these two things, the oil is the same as others, and potatoes are much cheaper than white noodles, and the Xia family grows a lot of them themselves. And potatoes made into fries and potato wedges are not only delicious, but also filling. Just as Mrs. Xia said, it can be used as a child's snack and can also be used for wine.
Xia Zhi told Mrs. Xia her thoughts, and she also took out a pen and paper to ask the little black fish to dial the abacus on the side and calculate a detailed account for Mrs. Xia.
With this plan in mind, when I went to Linshui Town on the summer solstice, I paid attention to the prices of all kinds of food. Then, according to their own actual situation, Xia Zhi calculated the cost and profit of this business.
Seeing the results calculated on the summer solstice, Mrs. Xia was very surprised.
"It turns out that they sell food, and they have such a big profit!"
"It's okay, it's not manual. "The summer solstice said.
"Labor is not valuable. Mrs. Xia immediately said, "If we do this, can we still invite someone from outside?"
Xia Zhi smiled and nodded: "Milk, according to you, can you do this business?"
"What can be done is what can be done. Mrs. Xia also hopes that the family can have more income, usually with loose money, not to mention that the children eat, drink and dress well, and can save a few more money. In the future, when they are old and the little black fish are older, there will be more places to use money.
"It's up to you~ What did you say. ”
Mr. Xia has never done business himself, and he doesn't want his children and grandchildren to do business. Xia Zhi opened a workshop not in front of Mr. Xia, and since it is a workshop, it is an industry, not a trader.
But when you go to the market to sell food, you are a small businessman.
"I'll tell him when my grandfather comes back. First, it will not delay the work of the family, and second, it will subsidize the family. We are still croppers, not business sellers. ”
"Okay, I'll have to persuade him too. Mrs. Xia looked at the little black fish and the few Layue who were very happy, so she nodded and said. Then, she asked Xia Zhi again, "Sixteen, then what are you going to arrange for this person?"
"Whoever in our family is free will go, my brother, third uncle, third aunt, and Layue ......" Xia Zhi said in general terms, but he didn't say sure.
Mrs. Xia understood. Xia Zhi wants to do this small business, and he plans to bring a family. (To be continued.) )
