Chapter 40: Dim Sum
The two of them returned to Wangjia Village with all the smiles all the way, but they didn't feel too tired, and Granny Wang was holding Bao'er in the yard to enjoy the shade. Seeing that it is not too early, it is reasonable that the daughter-in-law and Miss Qiuning should also come back. Granny Wang prepared the cool white open early in the morning, and the melons that had just been picked in the field at home were seen. Just waiting for Bao Er Niang and Qiu Ning to come back and eat. It's still hot outside, and this autumn tiger is quite powerful. Seeing that both of them were tanned, they must have been exhausted.
Granny Wang is naturally very concerned about the market of millet this year, and after Sister Wang sat down and drank cold water and washed her face, she told Granny SΓΉ that the market is good this year, at least the price of the millet sold by herself is still very fair. And the scales are also quite accurate, before Sister Wang and Brother Wang asked the people in the village to help, and weighed them together with a large scale. Before every family enters the city, they will think of asking someone to help weigh it, and they must have a bottom in their hearts, otherwise they will not know if they deceive the scales, and that will be a big loss.
Granny Wang smiled with satisfaction, "This market is a good day for our people, and my mother is still looking forward to saving more silver for our Bao'er to read and read in the future?" Our family has been a cropper for several generations, but we have to change it well. At least Bao'er's generation, you have to let Bao'er read and write, don't ask Bao'er to be in the future to be clear, add glory to the family, at least be literate and do accounts, and go to the city to find a bookkeeper in the future, that is also a good errand, but it is better than a lifetime of exhaustion and hard work. β
Sister Wang knew that her mother-in-law was looking forward to Bao'er's appearance, but in fact, she also wanted to, so the family would save money on food inspection. "Mother, don't worry, Bao'er will definitely come out, you just wait to enjoy the blessings!"
Granny Wang smiled embarrassedly, "I don't mean to enjoy happiness, I just hope that Bao'er can live a more decent and comfortable life in the future." β
After drinking water and eating two mouthfuls of melons, Sister Wang went to the wheelbarrow to carry the necessities of the family. Qiu Ning also put down the water bowl in his hand and hurriedly stepped forward to get his things. Qiu Ning bought a total of three packs of dim sum, and the mother-in-law who sold dim sum wrapped these three packs of dim sum in oiled paper. Qiu Ning took out two packs of dim sum and stepped forward to smile at Granny Wang: "Mother-in-law, these dim sum are for Bao'er and you to eat, you can taste them!" β
When Granny Wang heard the word dim sum, she shook her head hurriedly, how expensive this dim sum is! Zhuanghu people usually don't celebrate the New Year's holiday, where will they spend that silver to buy snacks to eat? This Qiu Ning girl is too bad to live, Granny Wang glanced at Qiu Ning, and she didn't see Qiu Ning buy her a piece of clothing or a head rope for herself! It's hard for this girl to buy snacks for herself and Bao'er to eat, Granny Wang really doesn't treat Qiu Ning as an outsider now, Granny Wang didn't have a daughter, her wife died early, and Granny Wang single-handedly pulled her son to grow up. I envy people who have children and daughters, after Qiu Ning arrived at her house, Granny Wang looked at Qiu Ning and liked it, but she had some meaning to treat Qiu Ning as a daughter. At this time, he was not happy to see Qiu Ning spending money to buy snacks for himself.
"Qiu Ning, this snack costs a lot of silver, and our Zhuang family doesn't like this. Mother-in-law only hopes that you will save more dowry, which makes her more happy than eating snacks. How can you spend this money, girl? It's so undeserved. β
Qiu Ning knew that Granny Wang, like Sister Wang, wanted to save more dowry, and smiled bitterly in her heart. But there was a teachable expression on his face, and he nodded again and again: "What my mother-in-law said is true, but I bought it back, if you don't eat it, it will not be a waste." Is less a waste of silver? β
Sister Wang smiled at her mother-in-law, "Mother, just take it!" This is Qiu Ning's intention, if you don't live up to Qiu Ning's heart. β
Granny Wang thought about it, so she accepted it generously. However, he immediately opened an oily paper bag, and Bao'er on the side seemed to know that it was something delicious, and from the small chair next to the table clapped excitedly, his eyes were even more tightly fixed on the paper bag in his grandmother's hand. "Mother-in-law accepts it, but if you want to eat it, let's eat it together. Come on, see how beautiful it is, come and eat together. β
Qiu Ning and Sister Wang didn't twist, they sat down directly, and the bag opened by Granny Wang was osmanthus cake and white sugar cake, and there was a yellow smelling fragrance, which should be chestnut cake. This kind of pastry is all the most ordinary and ordinary, and the style is decent, all boxy small pieces. This made Qiu Ning a little speechless, making dim sum must first look good, and the appearance must be beautiful. However, this may also be limited by conditions, because the mother-in-law who sells dim sum is not the first to buy her dim sum from the very rich people. If she makes the dim sum delicate and beautiful, it will take time and effort, and she will also face some unformed dim sum. In this way, there is a zΓ i problem, the cost will increase, and while the cost increases, the price will naturally become higher.
In this way, the dim sum will be expensive, and after selling it expensive, it is conceivable that ordinary people can't afford to eat it, so how can the mother-in-law make a living and how to continue to do business? Since doing business requires making money, if you don't make money to do business, you are sick in the brain. However, after reading these three kinds of dim mic, Qiu Ning was a lot more relieved, these three kinds of dim sum are very ordinary and ordinary. In the modern pastry house, I have also made these three kinds of dim sum, but they are more exquisite, more delicate, and there are three kinds of sweetness. Because everyone has different requirements for the sweetness of dim sum, some people ask for dim sum to be sweeter, so that they will feel a strong sense of happiness. However, some people like to eat the original flavor of the dim sum, so they want the sweetness to be lighter, and of course, some people want the sweetness to be moderate.
Therefore, in order to do a good job of these most basic dim sum, Qiu Ning directly added the cost input, and the taste of dim sum was divided into sweet, light and moderate. In this way, even men like to eat their own dim sum and will not find it too sweet. Of course, in addition to the necessary western pastries, the traditional dim sum Twanin has attention to the taste problem. So Qiu Ning felt that even if he made the same dim sum as that mother-in-law now, he would definitely be able to defeat that mother-in-law. In addition to the production process of modern people, the most important thing is modern marketing.
Qiu Ning picked up a piece of chestnut snacks, then carefully crushed it, and then fed it to Bao'er who couldn't wait for a long time. Bao'er didn't know if it was the first time she had tasted this taste, but suddenly she laughed happily, then opened her mouth wide, and then pointed at the snack in Qiuning's hand. The meaning is obvious, I want to eat this. Qiu Ning was amused by Bao'er's appearance, and sure enough, the children's favorite was sugar and snacks, which were fragrant, sweet and soft.
"Does Boa like to eat?"
Bao'er nodded, Qiu Ning fed Bao'er another bite, and Bao'er directly bit Qiu Ning's hand. Qiu Ning felt Bao'er's small gums, and couldn't help laughing: "Bao'er loves dim sum so much, will I make it for you next time?" β
Granny Wang saw that Qiu Ning only knew how to feed Bao'er, and she didn't eat at all, so she hurriedly took Qiu Ning's hand, "Qiu Ning, you eat too, don't patronize feeding Bao'er." β
