Chapter 018: Preparation
Aunt Lin grows her own vegetables, and she doesn't need to go to the vegetable company, and the price is about the same, which can save them time, but it is obviously not enough to supply these twenty days' dishes.
As soon as they said this, Aunt Lin said that she could help collect the surrounding vegetables, after all, she was not the only one who secretly planted vegetables, and it was troublesome to buy vegetables in the city, and many people secretly planted vegetables.
Liu Xiaping discussed it with He Xiang, and decided that this matter was feasible, and gave Aunt Lin three cents per catty of vegetables, and the two of them asked for three catties every day.
Because she didn't have much money on her, Liu Xiaping and Aunt Lin agreed that the money for the dish would be settled every day, and she also asked Aunt Lin if she could get meat, after all, she had a nephew who sold meat at the food station.
Aunt Lin said that she had to ask her nephew to make it clear, but fortunately, the two of them didn't ask for much, so they asked for half a catty a day, so they quickly got the answer, saying that they could sell it quietly, but they couldn't say it.
Even if it is half a catty of meat, Liu Xiaping and the others need to pay the price of a catty of meat at the food station to buy it, but this is also a helpless thing, who told them that they don't have many meat tickets.
"Half a catty of meat costs six cents a day, three catties of bones is two corners and four cents, three catties of vegetables is nine cents, plus the rice and noodles that need to be used at that time, we have to talk at least five a day, Xiaoping, do you think we can sell the capital back?"
You don't have to know this, you need to be scared.
He Xiang calculated the account, and felt very uneasy.
Liu Xiaping doesn't have so many scruples, the flow of people at the railway station here as a transit station is huge, if they can sell hot, they will definitely be able to earn back.
Thinking so, she took out a jar of pickled vegetables from the back basket, and naturally she had to consider eating when she came, so with this excuse, she specially asked Lin Cuihua for two large jars of pickles, as well as dried bamboo shoots dug up at home, and dried mushrooms.
When she took these things, she had to pass through Lin Cuihua's eyes, but He Xiang didn't have so many scruples, she took all the things she got with Liu Xiaping on weekdays, and this time she simply brought them all, so the amount was more than Liu Xiaping's.
After putting all these things away, Liu Xiaping went out and rented an antimony pot and an earthen stove that had not been used for a long time for two cents.
"I said Xiaoping, you said that you sell bone broth, some people buy it in this summer, and now it's not winter, and it is estimated that there are few people who buy hot things." He Xiang saw that she had been busy and couldn't help but speak.
Liu Xiaping was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, as if this was indeed the case, and after thinking about it, she said, "It's okay, we can sell the meal in the afternoon or evening, and it will be cold at night, and you can cook some meat porridge or something." ”
As she spoke, she remembered another thing and hurriedly went out.
It didn't take long for me to come back with a smile.
"What did you do?" He Xiang made the bed and looked at her elated appearance, looking at her dazed.
"I went and asked if there were any mountains and forests around, and I was going to cut some bamboo." Liu Xiaping explained with a smile, "In case someone rushes away, we can also use bamboo tubes to fill porridge for others, and we can take it away, after all, we don't have a few bowls, if they are all taken away, there will be nothing to put porridge." ”
As for the stuff of buns, you can use oil paper, this thing is sold by the supply and marketing cooperatives, and there are not many people who buy it on weekdays, even if they ask for tickets, they can use food stamps to exchange with others.
"Is there a bamboo forest around?" After such a reminder, He Xiang also reacted and hurriedly asked.
"Yes, but it's still quite far from here, I want to go up the mountain, I told Aunt Lin, let her son help, and we'll give him two dimes."
Liu Xiaping said with a smile, obviously in a good mood.
Aunt Lin's son's surname is Wang, his name is Wang Guoqiang, and he is only fifteen years old this year, but he is thin and not too tall.
As soon as he came back from school, he was called by Aunt Lin, and after a while, he came to call them and went up the mountain with a sickle.
It took three or four hours, and when it was almost dark, Liu Xiaping and the others got back a lot of bamboo tubes.
There was a clean stream on the mountain, so they made all the bamboo into bamboo tubes there, washed them first, and then threw them into the basket.
In such an afternoon, at least three or four hundred bamboo tubes were returned, and the three of them carried all the way, but fortunately they were used to doing the work, and they didn't feel particularly tired.
And Aunt Lin also got back the things they wanted, bought 15 catties of rice, spent 15 catties of food stamps of two yuan and two jiao five, temporarily bought fifteen catties of flour, and spent 15 catties of food stamps of two yuan and four cents.
There are also oil and salt, and I also bought a pound back, and spent a lot of money.
Even Aunt Lin felt pity for the two of them spending so much money at this time, and couldn't help but persuade her.
In just such a day, most of the money on the two of them went, but fortunately, there were some seasoning things, Liu Xiaping had brought them from home before, or bought them from the barefoot doctor.
When this is finally done, it will be dark.
Liu Xiaping and He Xiang thought that Ming'er would get up early, so they went to bed early.
Of course, just in case, all the things I bought were put in the room where I slept and the door was closed tightly.
Before dawn the next day, the two of them hurriedly got up, and at this time Aunt Lin also got up and was cooking in the yard outside. ”
Liu Xiaping thanked her, and hurried with He Xiang.
He Xiang went to fetch water first, while Liu Xiaping processed the bones and began to burn the pot, and began to mix noodles at the same time.
Half a catty of meat was also sent over, half fat and half lean meat, a palm-sized piece, Liu Xiaping directly chopped into meat puree, and then added ground peppercorn noodles and salt, cut two green onions, and diced the soaked bamboo shoots.
When He Xiang came back, she also happened to bring back the washed vegetables, and saw that she was busy chopping the stuffing, and hurriedly went to make noodles again.
"Sister He Xiang, the water is boiling, you boil the rice first." Liu Xiaping Ma Yu'er chopped the stuffing, while laughing at the fact that they didn't have a food certificate in their hands, which was a troublesome matter, and the other pot was stewed with bones, and there were soaked bamboo shoots and seasoned small pieces of ginger and mushrooms in it.
When the noodles are reconciled, they are placed on the stove, and the temperature is high, so that the fermentation will be fast.
When Liu Xiaping finished chopping the filling, half a pot of noodles would be almost ready.
They didn't do anything less because it was the first day of business, and the two of them had already planned that if the train station couldn't sell it, they would go to the factory to sell it, where there were many workers and the family conditions were good, so they would definitely be able to sell it.
Liu Xiaping prepared two kinds of stuffing, one meat and one vegetarian, and began to make buns after the busy work, and He Xiang hurriedly came over to help after finishing it.
