Chapter Eighty-Eight: Rice Is Delicious

In the evening, Chen Chunhua and the three of them didn't rest much, they made the rice balls, washed the wolfberries, cut the dates, and lived in a large pot of sweet potatoes and glutinous rice flour, stirred evenly, made them round and put them in the dustpan one by one.

When the work is done, there is no rest, take advantage of this time, boil the oil, and fry the sweet potato balls.

When the day dawned, the stove and cauldron were moved to the outside of the shop and placed, two cauldrons, one cauldron boiling rice balls, and one oil pot, after being placed, two square tables and eight benches were placed next to it.

After getting these done, Chen Chunhua sat down with a chair, took out the fried sweet potato balls and dried them for a while, and put the oil on the dustpan.

Soon, passers-by were attracted by the stall.

"Boss, what's this?" One after another, people saw Chen Chunhua's stall, so they came around, because they had never seen this thing, it was very strange.

Chen Chunhua was busy with her hands and said. "This is potato melon balls, do you want to buy some and try them?"

"Potato melon balls? But how much does it cost to make it with potatoes? ”

"Cheap, a penny!" This potato melon is cheap, mainly because of the expensive oil, there is no peanut oil rapeseed oil to sell here, you can only use lard to fry, this is not a matter of eating and frying.

"That's a good feeling, the boss will give me three!" As the man spoke, he took out his purse and counted three copper plates and handed them to Chen Chunhua, Qiu Ju saw it, and hurriedly took it, took a bamboo skewer from the cylinder on the side, skewered three potato melon balls, and handed them over.

The man took it and ate it immediately, muttering something in his mouth. "Oh, the meatballs made of this potato melon are delicious, soft and not greasy!"

Chen Chunhua heard this. Road. "If it's delicious, I'll buy a few more, and I'll put it aside for a few days. I'll be back in a few days! "There is also sugar in these sweet potato balls, which are naturally sweet.

The others met. I immediately paid for it and bought a lot of it. Fortunately, it exploded a lot before it was taken out, otherwise where would I have to be busy, and the most disliked thing about buying things is waiting.

When the ones that were fried before were sold, the ones in this pot were fried again, and the business was very good.

"The rice balls should be ready, Qiu Ju, open the lid of the pot!" Chen Chunhua said a word, Qiu Ju immediately lifted the lid of the pot, and after a layer of mist drifted away, she saw the three-colored rice balls. Just look at it and have an appetite.

Chen Chunhua saw it, then tore open her throat and said. "Tangyuanle, delicious and inexpensive Tangyuanle, five pennies in charge of the big bowl!"

As soon as he shouted, the pedestrians on the road heard the sound and came over, along with the people who bought sweet potato balls.

"Hey, boss, you're doing this all new. I haven't seen it before, and I don't know what it tastes like, but a bowl of five cents is not expensive! A good-looking girl said, "I said." Bring me a bowl. Taste it! ”

"Okay, Qiu Ju will serve this girl a bowl!" Qiu Ju is also unambiguous, and her hands and feet are nimble. After taking the bowl, he filled a large bowl of the sea, put a soup spoon in it, and served it to the table. Road. "Girl eat slowly, it's a little hot!"

"Alas. Why haven't I seen you a few times ago? The girl took the soup spoon and stirred it for a while, scooped up a spoonful and blew it into her mouth, Qiu Ju stood on the side, carefully looked at the girl's expression, and waited until her eyes lit up, nodded again and again, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"It tastes good, this five cents is too cheap, it's a good deal!"

Hearing this, Qiu Ju stopped standing, and those who came around, seeing that someone had eaten it, also asked for a bowl. Such a big bowl is only five cents, that is, the cost of two steamed buns, which is indeed really cheap in comparison.

Qiu Ju was too busy to do her job, so when the third child finished moving things, she hurriedly came to help, brought the rice balls to the table, and collected the money by the way.

"Boss, bring me five potato melon balls, I eat them well, and bring them back for people to taste!"

"Howler!"

This morning has not stopped, Chen Chunhua originally thought that these things would not be sold out, but I didn't expect the business in this area to be so good, and after a night's preparation, it was almost sold out.

"Third brother, the potatoes and melons are cooked, hurry up and take them out and glutinous rice noodles, there are not many here!" Chen Chunhua took advantage of this gap to stand up and move, Qiu Ju put away the bowl on the side, wiped the table, and said. "Sister-in-law, there are so many of them, there was no place to sit and eat just now, they just waited!"

"There's no way, there are only two tables in this place, if you go any further, it will hinder other people's business!"

"I know that the business is so good, this shop should have been opened to the county seat a long time ago!" Qiu Ju thought like this, but Chen Chunhua knew that this was just a freshness, and no one would come to eat this thing every day. "I'm busy in the town, and I'm still in the county, the province!"

"That's right, this money can't be earned, don't be tired!"

It was almost noon, this person was less one after another, a large pot of glutinous rice balls was sold without a drop left, and the pot was closed after the most reluctance, Qiu Ju was really hungry, scraped the bottom of the pot out and ate it, and muttered in his mouth, he should have eaten some earlier.

The owner of the fabric shop saw that Chen Chunhua's business was so good, and he didn't come to bother, and when she was about to close the stall, she came out to buy sweet potato balls, thinking that it was for him to eat.

Chen Chunhua didn't go back to the shop, and when the third child reconciled the ingredients of the sweet potato balls, he started to blow up, the business was not broken, and people couldn't leave, Qiu Ju took advantage of the lack of people to go back and get some food, and the three of them ate their lunch so so-so.

It wasn't until it was almost dark that Chen Chunhua closed the stall, and it was common for people who had eaten sweet potato balls to buy back and forth a few times.

"Third brother, you go to eat noodles and weigh two catties of cooked meat on the street, and treat ourselves well tonight!"

"Cheng, I'll go!" The third child said and handed the heavy money bag to Chen Chunhua.

Back in the courtyard, Chen Chunhua sat down on a chair, rubbed her sore shoulders, and said. "This is really tiring, I guess there are more people in Ming'er, I have to rest tonight, and I will start working after dinner!"

Qiu Ju nodded and said. "I need to get more today, Ming'er's business can't be broken, I see that the rice balls are selling fast, and the people who come to buy them still want to eat it!"

Speaking of this, Chen Chunhua was also happy in her heart, this thing is sold cheaply or not expensively, and business is easy to do. Whether it is a rich person or a small family, they live a real life, and good things are not expensive, who doesn't want to buy them!

Thinking about it, he put the money bag on the table, and poured out the copper coins inside. "Qiu Ju, come and help count!"

This county is good, buy things and buy happy, there is no need to find, among them there are many rich people to patronize, just want a fresh, take a silver or two is not easy to find, and I didn't let you find, throw off the money and take things and leave.

Take out some of the broken silver and put it away, count, it's okay not to count, it's shocking to count, twelve taels of silver, how many sweet potatoes and glutinous rice balls can be sold, but this is just luck.

The two of them counted copper coins, five taels and two coins, and they counted the losses.

"My mother, alas, there is a lot of money today!" It was the first time for Qiu Ju to count so much money, and he grabbed a handful of copper coins in his hand with both hands, and said. "Sister-in-law, I've learned a lot this time!"

"What knowledge, my little star is not as good as those big families, this is all money to support the family!" Chen Chunhua calculated in her heart, these five taels and two dollars, except for the rent of buying glutinous rice, sugar, wolfberry dates, and this yard, the profit is only three taels!

Chen Chunhua's goal is not here, she is naturally happy when she makes money, but she is also tired and wants to live and die. "Qiu Ju, you're also tired, I'll give you a little salary increase in the future!"

Qiu Ju listened, and hurriedly waved his hand and said. "Sister-in-law, don't give me a rise, this is eating and living in the shop, I can't reach this bit of busy work, what do you eat, I and Erzhu also eat, the good and the bad live together, give it to me, I can't feel it!"

Qiu Ju is very honest in her heart, after the accident of these two pillars, there is no pillar in the house, if it is not for this sister-in-law's good heart, where will she live, where to eat, if there is no flood, she can still be busy in the field, borrow some food from the eldest brother to top the top, but the second pillar is not successful, there are injuries on the body, and you have to drink medicine, everything needs money, the situation in the eldest brother's house is not much better, and there are two babies.

Chen Chunhua listened, patted Qiu Ju's hand, and said. "Now I'm still saying this, I don't have much ability, I can still eat and live, and the food in this house is not good, if I don't have anything else, I won't starve you after all, and when you make a fortune in the future, I still expect to occupy some light!"

Qiu Ju knew that Chen Chunhua was asking her to stay out of sight, but she really didn't know what to say, so she nodded. "Sister-in-law, thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do, Erzhu's health has been better for a while, and I'll take him to see Langzhong again when I go back!" She came to the county seat with her, so she asked her eldest brother to take care of Erzhu, and she was naturally very relieved.

When the third child came back from buying meat, Chen Chunhua had already cooked the rice, and she really missed the taste of the rice. Cooked meat is only cooked, and salt is placed in it, which is also called brine meat.

"It's time to eat, eat rice tonight, third brother, Qiu Ju, if you can't get used to eating, there are still two nests in the pot to eat!"

"What do you mean I can't get used to eating, I have also eaten this rice, but it is delicious, so I put it aside for the first year of marriage, Erzhu specially bought two catties of rice and came back to cook and eat, I ate that time, and I was not willing to buy it in the future!"

"I'm used to eating, I used to go to work at sunrise, and I also had a generous family, and I ate a few meals, this rice is not good to swallow, and it is very soft!"

When Chen Chunhua heard this, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, it turned out that it was not that no one ate rice here, but she was reluctant to buy it. Rice is indeed expensive, and white flour is not often bought for them, and they eat corn paste, thinking of this, they can't help but say. "In the future, we will grow rice in the house!"

"Sister-in-law, even if this kind of rice is forgotten, it is good to eat it from time to time, if you plant rice, you don't have to work blindly, an acre of land can be harvested hundreds of catties, if it is not good, there are dozens of catties." Qiu Ju didn't agree with this at all.

The third child didn't speak, looked at Chen Chunhua for a while, and said. "Why does my daughter-in-law want to grow rice?"

"The rice is delicious, if you grow it yourself, you don't need to buy it, and you can eat it often!" Her idea was as simple as that! (To be continued......)
