114. Chapter 114
When Su Liu returned home, the Chen family had already put all the belongings in place, Su Xiao was rolling around on the new futon, and when she saw her coming back, she said with a smile: "Sister, are you back?" ”
Su Liu snorted, took out the cloth bag given by Ning Guang from his arms, threw it on the kang, Su Xiao grabbed it and asked, "What is this?" Yes. She opened it and asked in surprise, "Sister, where did you get so much silver?" ”
Chen also looked at Su Liu in surprise.
"Guan Ningguang borrowed it." Su Liu was a little embarrassed, his mind was full of Ning Guang's sad figure, and he was a little irritable.
"Ning Guang?"
Su Liu told him about borrowing money, and even Ning Guang's real age was not leaked, and Chen Shi frowned high when he heard this.
"It's not an uncle." Su Xiao blinked.
"Hmm." Su Liu didn't want to say any more, so he changed the topic and said: "Now that we have silver, we can also take down Uncle Zhong's shop, I think so, I plan to make some buns, mother, what do you think?" ”
Chen has never done business either, and said: "Where do I know this, Liu'er, what you say is what it is, it's just, is our capital enough?" That Ning Guang ......"
"It's all here." Su Liu patted the cloth bag and said, "Although it is not much, it can be opened, you have to be careful to do it, and while you are doing it, the silver will be returned." ”
"So how?" Su Xiaomo shook his fists, looking eager to try.
"Don't worry, there are things you can do." Su Liu smiled.
Indeed, not only to open the stall, but the land behind the house has been barren for several years, and it is overgrown with grass, and it has to come out to plant vegetables, which is a lot of work, and their girls are really busy.
Su Liu quickly divided the work, and tomorrow she went to the town to find Zhong Boxian to put down the wonton stall, while Chen and Su Xiao begged for the land at home.
If you want to do a good job, you have to have a detailed plan to draw books, but Su Liu didn't dare to easily expose her literacy, and took advantage of Chen's absence, she asked Su Xiao, is she illiterate?
"How can the family let us go to literacy? In the past, we secretly went to the school to listen to Sun Xiucai's lectures, and only then did we recognize our own name, sister, you can write your own name, don't you remember? ”
Su Liu said vaguely: "After lying in bed for so many days in those days, I forgot a lot of things, you said, if only we could read." ”
Su Xiao is silent, literacy is naturally good, not to mention the side, just to be a maid, can be literate, and the level will be higher, but they, how can they have such a blessing?
Seeing that she was silent, Su Liu couldn't say anything, so she had to find another opportunity to find an excuse or something to learn the words.
It is the seventh month of the fire, and it is the harvest season, Daao Village has sacrificed to the gods and Buddhas from all walks of life, and began to harvest rice, and the fields are busy with the villagers, and Su Liu and the others are also busy.
Because the price was agreed, the matter of the wonton stall went very smoothly, and he went to the mayor of the town to pass the paperwork, prepare the case, and pay the silver commission, and Su Liu officially ordered the wonton stall.
The stall was originally used to make wontons, and all kinds of kitchen utensils, tables and chairs were complete, but there was nothing to prepare, as long as the ingredients were bought.
Su Liu was not in a hurry to open, first brushed the things in the stall inside and out, and completed everything that should be replaced and added, and then slowly thought about the ingredients, and had to do a test.
After a busy day, Su Liu returned home with a basket on her back, Chen and Su Xiao were busy in the back of the house, she rested for a while, and sent tea to Chen and them to relieve the heat, and then went into the kitchen to work.
If you want the stall to be prosperous, first of all, the food must be delicious to attract people, so you can't rashly do it to sell, it will not only waste the ingredients but also make a bad reputation, and the gains outweigh the losses, so she is doing a test tonight and making the barbecued pork buns.
In her previous life, her grandmother was best at making barbecued pork buns and mixing dumpling filling, although she didn't learn ten percent, seven or eight percent of them would be able to.
If you want to make barbecued pork buns, you must first make barbecued pork, Su Liu processed the best pork belly he bought, cut a whole piece of meat into slices quickly, marinated it with soy sauce, sugar and salt and put it aside, and then went to mix the noodles and fermented.
The barbecued pork must be marinated for more than three hours to get more flavorful, but now she is only trying to test, and she can't manage so much, so she began to simmer in the pot after half an hour, while observing the color, while controlling the heat, she was busy sweating profusely.
It's getting late, there's little smoke, and the smell wafts out of this small kitchen, which makes people have an appetite.
Su Xiao rushed in from outside: "Sister, what are you doing so fragrant?" ”
Su Liuzheng was cutting the barbecued pork into strips, and when he heard this, he said: "To make steamed buns, you and your mother will wash your faces and rest first, and you will have to eat it in a while." ”
Su Xiao approached and saw the barbecued pork under Su Liu's knife, his eyes lit up, and he swallowed saliva greedily.
"You foodie." Su Liu was amused when he saw it, twisted up a piece of meat and said, "Open your mouth." ”
Su Xiao immediately opened his mouth wide, bit the piece of meat handed over by Su Liu, chewed it, and said, "It's delicious." Sister, this meat is so delicious. ”
The braised pork has a heavy taste, the barbecued pork is fragrant and sweet, if it is marinated with honey, the taste will be better, and now this barbecued pork has only been marinated for half an hour, which is average.
"Go wash your face, don't get in the way of your sister's work." Seeing this, Chen said with a smile.
"Sister, I'll come back to help you light the fire later." Su Xiao ran out like an arrow.
Su Liu smiled and shook his head, burying his head and continuing his work.
"Shhh The bun that Su Xiaojiang picked up was thrown back into the steamer at once, blowing his hands whirringly.
"Who made you so anxious, who still robbed you here?" Chen said angrily, handed over the chopsticks, and said, "I see that you have moved out, and your temperament is even more wild, and you don't have the reserve of your daughter's family, so you have to be vigilant to me in the future." ”
Su Xiao stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly: "Mother, people are hungry, who made the buns made by my sister so fragrant?" ”
Under the dim candlelight, the mother and daughter gathered around the table, and in the middle of the table was a basket of freshly baked barbecued pork buns and a pot of white porridge, which was their dinner tonight.
"Mother, don't train her, you've been tired for a day, you're already tired, eat while it's hot." Su Liu sandwiched a barbecued pork bun into her bowl.
Chen smiled, picked up the bun and took a bite, chewing it slowly, very carefully.
"Mother, how is it?" Su Liu asked nervously.
"This bun?" Chen was surprised and said, "It is very soft to eat, the meat is fragrant, and the juice is still seeping into the bun." Well, it's delicious, and this bun is also fresh. ”
"It's even better than Zhang Ji's buns." While Chen was talking, Su Xiao had already finished nibbling on one bun and reached out to get the second one.
Su Liu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and also picked up a bun and tasted it carefully, maybe the meat was marinated for not so long, and the taste of the barbecued pork was so bad, but it was also very close, and it would be better if the flour was finer.
"It's a little worse, it seems that if we want to do it, we have to marinate the barbecued pork a day in advance, otherwise the meat will not be flavorful enough." Su Liu said while eating.
"How did Liu Er come up with it?"
Su Liu had already thought of his words and said, "Mother, I have thought of it a long time ago, but I was over there in the past, how could Grandma be willing to let me make this kind of bun?" ”
Chen paused for a moment and remained silent.
The Su family is also a medium-sized family in Daao Village, but the Huang family has always been used to saving, even if it is steamed buns, it is just steamed steamed buns, or coarse steamed buns, where are they willing to use white flour to make meat buns?
Seeing that Chen's face was not very good, Su Liu changed the topic and turned to what their stall was selling.
Since the barbecued pork bun is successful, it must be done, and dumplings can also be made, anyway, it is a matter of rolling the skin.
To order products, to set prices, to find suppliers of merchants, Su Liu's mind was in a mess, there was no plan, she felt that everything was piled up and messy.
"If it's hot today, don't go to that piece of land at noon, anyway, we're not in a hurry for that moment, and the vegetables won't be planted in an hour and a half, so don't get heat stroke." After the meal, the maiden spread out a cloth in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness, and talked while looking at the starry sky, Su Liu reminded.
"Mother knows, speaking of which, this year is the most empty time of the year for so many years." Chen held a large sunflower fan while fanning the wind, and sighed.
"But no, at this time in previous years, my sister and I had to go to the field and died of exhaustion." Su Xiao lay on Chen's knee, thought of the Su family's side, and smiled, "Mother, sister, you say, without a few of our labor, what will happen to the chaos over there?" ”
Chen and Su Liu looked at each other and smiled, chaos, it is inevitable, in the busy farming season, there are no three laborers at once, and Su Chuntao and they all have to go to the ground.
They weren't wrong, the Su family's courtyard was noisy, Su Chuntao touched her face and cried, and the Zhou family was distressed like something.
"Mother, Chun Tao's face has been shaved, and my daughter's family can't ruin her face, so let her cook at home." Su Changsheng said irritably.
"It's just such a big mouth with a boogers, who has her delicate? Do you need a hundred people to cook? How much can your father and your brother do? Huang said with a calm face: "Tomorrow, Chun Tao Niang and Chun Tao Niang will go to the ground, and the cooking work will be done with me and Jin Feng." ”
"Mother." When Su Chuntao heard this, she cried even more sadly.
In the past, there were two sisters Su Liu doing such work, where is her turn? Now, they are gone, and all the work has fallen on her head, but in two days, her hands have become thick and a big calloon, how can she be a young grandmother?
The more Su Chuntao thought about it, the more sad she became, and her tears fell down her cheeks.
Zhou also hated it in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and said: "Mother, my daughter's face is delicate, she will have to marry in the future, don't you think?" ”
"In the farmer's house, which girl doesn't want to go to the field, in the past, Su Liu and Su Xiao didn't both go to the field like this, why can't Chun Tao be?" Huang looked at Su Chuntao, and displeasure flashed in his eyes. This girl has developed into a young lady, but it can't be done, if you don't do this, if you don't do that, do you want her to be an old woman? Isn't that the more you live, the more you go back?
Thinking of this, Huang Shi was even more determined in his thoughts, and said, "Let it be decided like this." ”
"Then why doesn't the little aunt do it?" Su Chuntao couldn't help it and shouted.
