Chapter 180: The North Wind Blows, and the Snowflakes Drift
Fee Chapter (12 points)
Lian Man'er smiled and watched Xiao Qi fiddle with the abacus beads with her chubby fingers. This abacus is an old abacus used by the old man and given to Xiao Qi.
Apply what she has learned, when Lian Man'er was learning to write and study with Mr. Lian, she thought that she couldn't go to the test for fame, so it was better to learn more practical. Even if Wulang and Xiao Qi are the same, of course, it would be good if they had the opportunity to take the road of the imperial examination (this is still too far away at present). Therefore, they discussed that even the old man should teach them to use an abacus.
Even the old man has been a shopkeeper for so many years, and the abacus is extremely skillful, surpassing his words.
Lian Man'er followed the old man, and he had already learned the basic formulas of abacus. Out of Chapter 180 The north wind blows and the snowflakes are unexpectedly the fastest in learning abacus. Lian Man'er was very happy, and began to ask him to help calculate the income and exit of the shop.
Xiao Qi is pulling the abacus, and Lian Man'er is calculating by heart, she doesn't need to use the abacus to shop this account earlier. After a while, Xiao Qi stopped pulling the abacus and reported a number to Lian Man'er, who compared this number with the results of mental arithmetic.
"That's right, let's do the next one." Lian Man'er said.
Xiao Qi is a very talented child in numbers, not only does he calculate quickly, but he rarely comes out.
In this way, the two sisters and brothers calculated all the accounts, checked them correctly, and recorded them clearly in the account books by Lian Man'er. These days, the passenger flow tends to be stable, and the daily profit is almost around 200 yuan.
"Did you do the math, how much money did you earn today?" Zhang wiped his hands with an apron and walked into the room to ask.
"Two hundred and fifteen cents." Lian Man'er said, "It's not even this piece of silver." ”
The family smiled with joy.
"Pack up, wash your hands, and eat right away." As he spoke, Zhang went back to work in the stove.
Lian Man'er put away the money and account books, and Xiao Qi brought her the baked shoes. Lian Man'er put on her shoes and walked to the stove to wash her hands. Chapter 180 The North Wind Blows and the Snow Drifts
In the stove room, Zhang and Zhao were making lunch.
These days, the early preparations are sold out, so they have to eat, and they usually have to do something else.
A basket of dumplings is already out of the pot, steaming temptingly. Lian Man'er sniffed, and she smelled the sweetness of the bean paste filling. I really want to eat it, but I have to wash my hands first.
Morning shop prepared soap for hand washing, different from the kind of soap used at home, this soap contains a lot of alkali, the washing power is stronger, but there is no aroma. Lian Man'er went to the town to buy it, and she didn't buy this soap to save money. They are the ones who make the food, and cleanliness is the most important thing. Even Shouxin and Gorou, including her, have to come into contact with a large number of copper coins every day, and their hands must be washed cleanly.
"Let's eat the stove dumplings today." Zhang said.
Zhang did not bring the dumplings out of the pot to the house, but added another handful of firewood under the stove, and then poured some oil into the big iron pot. The oil was soon hot, so Zhang picked up a hot dumpling from the curtain drawer, tore off the leaves underneath, and then put the dumpling into the oil at the bottom of the pot.
There's not a lot of oil, and I haven't been able to eat too much. Zhang gently pressed the dumplings with his hand, and the ball-shaped dumplings became round cakes, and the hot oil was soaked into the rhubarb rice dough, making a slight sizzling sound. Only then did Zhang slide the dumpling to the side, and the dumpling was firmly fixed on the wall of the pot. Then she took another dumpling and concocted it as she did.
This is the oven dumpling, and it is finished by frying both sides of the cake cake until it is browned. The reason why it is called stove instead of frying may be because it does not require too much oil. The dumplings that come out of the oven are different flavors than the steamed dumplings.
In the Zhuang family, oil is also a precious thing, but there is not much oil used, and many people are reluctant to make food. Therefore, in the eyes of children who rarely eat oil and water, it is a rare delicacy in winter. Lian Man'er saw a doll a few years old in the village, following behind her mother, pulling the corners of her mother's clothes, and begging again and again, just to eat a meal of gluttony.
Lianjia now has an entry every day, and Zhang's naturally will not be reluctant to release oil.
Zhao Shi was not idle, she was shredding the peeled potatoes, and in the dish next to her, garlic cloves and shredded red peppers had been prepared, which was going to make sour and hot shredded potatoes.
"Third uncle, you rest for a while, I'll stir-fry." Lian Man'er washed her hands and wanted to help Zhao.
"Man'er, you go to rest in the house, don't get your hands dirty. I'll finish this in a moment. Zhao said with a smile.
"Man'er, you can bring that tofu in first." Zhang pointed to a large bowl buckled on the stove.
"Hey." Lian Man'er agreed with a smile.
Soon, Zhang and Zhao were ready to stop the meal. A pot of burnt brown and oily dumplings, a large plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes, a pot of cold tofu, a pot of shredded radish soup with large bones, and a salty and fragrant mustard gnocchi cut into thin strips and mixed with sesame oil.
"Dad, brother, it's time for dinner." Lian Man'er went to the store and called Lian Shouxin and Xiao Qi, who were cleaning.
"It's coming, it's coming." Even Shoushin and Gorou answered.
"Don't forget to wash your hands." Lian Man'er instructed, so he walked to the door and looked out.
There were very few pedestrians on the official road, and there was a small figure walking towards the village with his back to the shop.
"Ye'er" Lian Man'er hurriedly opened the door and greeted loudly.
The little figure paused, but didn't immediately turn back.
"Ye'er, I saw you, hurry up, don't let me go out and arrest you." Lian Man'er stomped his feet angrily and said loudly.
Lian Ye'er turned around and walked slowly, standing at the door of the shop, with her head down.
Lian Man'er pulled Lian Ye'er into the house, and then closed the door again.
"It's all here, why don't you go into the house? Eat now, go, and wash my hands with me. Lian Man'er pulled Lian Ye'er and said.
"Sister Man'er, I'm not here to eat, I'll eat." Lian Ye'er was stubborn and stubborn.
"What else are you doing? You can't eat anything. Eat here, my mother will bring out your share. Lian Man'er smiled.
When Zhang heard them in the back room, he walked out and beckoned Lian Ye'er to eat.
"Ye'er, what are you doing standing there, come into the house and eat."
"If I hadn't looked out of the door just now, Ye'er wouldn't have even entered our door, so I would have done it." Lian Man'er laughed.
"This kid, why don't you go out of the way. It's a cold day, come to the back room. Zhang said.
"I eat, I have my rations at home, I don't believe she can always starve me." Lian Ye'er said sullenly.
Zhao also walked out of the back room, and sighed when he saw Lian Ye'er.
"It's always like this, it's not good."
Zhao came to work in the shop early, and when he had lunch on the first day, Zhou sent Lian Ye'er away, saying that he wanted her to see what her mother was doing in the shop. The shop was also about to eat at that time, so the Zhang family left Lian Ye'er to eat together.
This matter seems to everyone to be very common, and no one thinks much about it.
The next day, Zhou was still at that time, and sent Lian Ye'er away. Lian Ye'er was embarrassed to eat in the shop again, and let everyone keep her, she still ran home.
When Lian Ye'er returned home, the Zhou family had not finished eating. Even the family meals are prepared according to the head, and there is a fixed number of meals, glutons or nests for each person. Lian Ye'er served on the table, but she didn't have her share, so she had to drink some vegetable soup.
Even Ye'er has a stubborn temper, and no one told anyone about it.
On the third day, Zhou still sent Lian Ye'er out, but Lian Ye'er only went out for a turn and ran away. As a result, there was still no food for her on the table.
Zhou didn't prepare her share at all.
Lian Ye'er complained to Old Man Lian, and Old Man Lian naturally reprimanded Zhou. Turning around, the Zhou family made an excuse and scolded Lian Shouli, and of course the Zhao family was not spared. Zhou also said that he would let Zhao go home and not let her work in the shop anymore.
Zhang's said that he would just let Lian Ye'er follow Zhao to eat in the shop. Lian Ye'er was stubborn and fought against the Zhou family, but as a result, there was no meal for lunch this night.
"It's nothing, it's just that his milk is not like this, and I plan to let Ye'er eat with us." Zhang comforted Zhao, and then smiled again, "I don't care about his third uncle, that's his milk's parent, he can't let him starve." ”
After Zhang finished speaking, he smiled and glanced at Lian Shouxin.
Lian Shouxin bowed his head and rubbed his hands vigorously.
Lian Ye'er finally stayed for lunch.
"You just don't fight her, and you can just eat it at noon in the future." Lian Man'er said to Lian Ye'er.
"Hmm." Even Ye'er was persuaded by the big guy to open up, "I'll help with the work in the future." ”
"With us working with your mother, there is no need for you." Zhang said with a smile.
"Fourth aunt, I'm doing the same at home. I'm at ease here. Lian Ye'er said, "Fourth aunt, if you don't agree, I'd rather be hungry in the future, and I won't come here to eat." ”
"Okay, it's up to you." Zhang's stubborn temper had no choice but to agree.
After lunch, Zhang and Zhao began to clean up again.
"Mother, I'll send the food to my sister first." Lian Man'er said.
"I'll accompany Sister Man'er." Lian Ye'er said busily.
Lian Man'er carried the food box and Lian Ye'er came out of the shop. The midday sun was no warmer and the wind blew harder. The north wind swirled, blowing up the unfrozen snow particles and hitting people's faces, cold and painful. Lian Man'er hugged the food box to her chest and walked slowly.
Entering the village, there are hardly any pedestrians on the streets. In this weather, everyone is at home, there is nothing important, and no one will go out.
I saw the gate of Lian's house from a distance, and a person came out of the door, waved his hand to the door, and slowly walked in their direction.
"Oops, this is not the daughter of the Lian family"
