Chapter 13 Conclusions

Li Wenshi, a busy housecook on the stove, is very in favor of the method of making food without wasting food, "If you don't waste every drop of oil and every dish, you can still make money, what is the use of lean meat and pork ribs?" ”

"Pork and pork ribs, I am ready to skewer a small amount of meat, ribs and some vegetables to make meat skewers, there are meat and vegetarian, if you want to eat meat, you can buy this, and when you are free, your brothers can also go to the river to catch some fish to make fried skewers, and when the stall makes money in the future, you can make other food and sell, at present, sell these two things first, and the dried wild chrysanthemums at home can also boil a bucket of chrysanthemum tea and bring it to the town to sell, after eating fried skewers and rape dumplings, drinking chrysanthemum tea can relieve greasy."

Old man Li saw that the old and young in the family were all in agreement, so he decided to set up a stall as soon as possible, "Since Yangqing's proposal is good, tomorrow the second child will go to the town early in the morning to buy these things and come back, and the boss will hurry up to carve some wooden bowls to fill the stall with tea, and since the rape dumplings are golden, change their name to the golden group!" As soon as the name is heard, the auspicious meaning is good, the three brothers of Wendong will pick some banana leaves and zongzi leaves to wash and wash them for guests to pack and take away, and the others will be at home tomorrow to skewer fried skewers, make golden balls and chrysanthemum tea, and discuss to see a suitable price, do you have any suggestions? ”

Li Yangming saw that Li Tingyuan had spoken, after going to the town last time, he still knew the prices in the town very well, "I think the fried skewers without spices are one bun, the two buns with spices are one bun, the meat skewers are three buns, the golden group is three buns, and the chrysanthemum tea is two bowls for one penny, which is based on the price of Zhenshan's steamed buns." ”

"Third brother, this price is very reasonable, I agree with this price." Li Yangqing raised his hand in agreement.

"Consent"

"I agree"

"It's a good price"

……

Others were also happy with the pricing and agreed.

"The day after tomorrow, the eldest will go to the town by the eldest child, the second child, the third child, your mother and Yangqing, and when it stabilizes, the two of them will go to the town to set up a stall."

"Grandpa, I want to go to town too, okay?" Li Chenggang and Li Chengqiang ran to Old Man Li, and one pulled Old Man Li's hand and played tricks.

"Nonsense, this is to do business, you two go back and forth, not only increase the round-trip fare, but also ask people to pay attention to your safety, in case you are abducted by a kidnapper, you won't be able to see grandpa." Old Man Li scared the two little grandsons without smiling.

"I don't want to be abducted, don't don't, mother." As soon as Li Chengqiang heard the abductor, he hurriedly ran to Li Sun's arms for comfort, causing a room full of crying and laughing.

Li Yangqing looked at the two nephews who were frightened, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Cheng Gang, Cheng Qiang, do you want to eat sugar gourds?" If you are obedient, I will buy it for you when my sister-in-law earns money and comes back, what about it? ”

"Okay! Okay! My sister-in-law is the best. As soon as Li Chengqiang heard the delicious food, he immediately stopped his tears, and laughed openly, the child's face was really changeable, crying for a while and laughing for a while.

The family discussed the stall, and after they dispersed, they went back to their respective houses to rest, this is an era of no entertainment and no electricity, it is already the norm to go to bed early and get up early, which saves lamp oil and maintains health, Li Yangqing comforted himself, closed his eyes and fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, the family got up early in the morning, and the sound of "dong dong dong" chopping vegetables came out, this was Li Wen's and Li Sun's cutting dishes to be skewered, except for Li Yangwu, who went to the town early to buy materials, and Li Boss, who was concentrating on making wooden bowls in the yard, everyone else was skewering around the table in a regular manner.

Everyone in the hall is full of energy, this is the hope of making money in the family, everyone sped up the speed of their hands, even the two little children Li Chenggang and Li Chengqiang, who usually love to play around, are working hard to string strings, and before they know it, it is noon when the sun is hanging high on their heads, and the fried vegetarian skewers to be sold have been skewered, Li Yangming counted three hundred skewers, including two hundred skewers of spices and one hundred skewers of ordinary skewers.

"I bought my stuff back." Before entering the hospital, he heard Li Yangwu's voice outside the courtyard gate, Li Sun hurriedly put down the string in his hand, ran to open the door for Li Yangwu, and took the things in Li Yangwu's hand.

"Second brother has worked hard, I'll go get you some water to drink." Li Yangqing saw Li Yangwu enter the hall and sit down, so he ran to the kitchen and brought a bowl of cold boiled water out.

"You're done skewering vegetarian skewers, and I just bought the other ingredients."

"Second brother, you rest for a while, my brother and sister and I will go to cook for everyone, and then make meat skewers and golden balls in the afternoon." Li Wenshi and Li Sun took the things they bought back to the kitchen.

Li Wenqiu sensibly followed into the kitchen, "I'll help my mother light the fire." ”

Half an hour later, Li Wenqiu shouted at the kitchen door: "The meal is ready, everyone quickly clean up the table." ”

Li Qiu, who was in the hall, put the skewers on the table into the basin and prepared to put them in the kitchen, and Li Yangqing also followed into the kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks.

"Sister-in-law, what are you going to eat at noon today?"

"I made multigrain cakes, courgette soup, and corn porridge at noon today, little sister, just help take the chopsticks and bowls."

"Okay, sister-in-law." Li Yangqing took the dishes and chopsticks handed over by Li Wenshi and walked to the hall to set them up one by one, Li Sun took a large pot of corn porridge into the hall and put it on the table, stirred the porridge with a spoon, and a stream of rice fragrance floated out.

Li Yangqing helped hand over the bowl to Li Sun's family, and the people in the kitchen successively brought the soup and cakes to the house and set them on the table, and the family finally ate the first meal of the day after working hard for a long time.

"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, this multigrain cake is delicious, and the courgette soup is also delicious." Li Yang gnawed on the cake in his hand fragrantly, and then lowered his head and drank the corn porridge.

"Really? That's when you've been hungry for a long time before you feel fragrant. Li Wenshi smiled and put a chopstick, courgette, and put it into Li Yangqing's bowl.

After eating, Li Wenshi washed the meat and pork ribs, cut them into the size that Li Yangqing wanted and brought them to the hall, and the family skewered pork skewers and pork rib skewers, after all, there were few meat and ribs, and the skewers were finished in a while, two catties of pork and vegetables were mixed with 60 skewers, and 40 skewers of ribs, Li Qiu's added some vegetables and leftover vegetables, and pinched about 70 vegetable dumplings wrapped in batter.

One night a room of old and young did not sleep well, are with a nervous and excited mood hastily slept a night, before dawn, the Li family got up early in the morning to gather around the kitchen, Li Wen's boiling wild chrysanthemum tea, Li Qiu's boiling lard, the oil in the pot "Zizizi" sounded, sometimes jumped up a few oil flowers, the fragrance of oil dispersed, but also woke up the stomach of the family.

"Mother, let's try the golden group first this morning! Is it okay to eat it as a morning meal? Li Yangqing proposed.

"Okay! Anyway, if we want to sell, we have to taste the taste ourselves before we can sell it to customers. Li Qiu's took out twelve dumplings from the golden dumplings to be sold, put them in the oil pot and fried them, and after a while, a fragrance wafted throughout the room, Li Qiu's scooped up the fried golden vegetable dumplings and put them in the bowl, and the oil in the pot was also scooped into the iron pot where the skewers were to be fried.

"Eat! Be careful with hot mouths. Li Qiu's family sent a fried vegetable ball to the people in the house one by one.

"Oops! Blanching. Li Chenggang took the golden ball and kept changing it on his two hands, baring his teeth and screaming, and he bit it up, "Grandma, it's so delicious, fragrant and crispy." ”

The rest of the Li family also tasted the delicious food in their hands with relish, feeling the taste in their mouths, Li Chengqiang, this kid, finished eating the dumplings in his hands, and stretched out his tongue to lick his fingers one by one, smashing his mouth as if he hadn't eaten enough.

"This is really delicious, the wheat flour-wrapped vegetable ball is soft and glutinous inside, the skin is crispy, and the color is also good-looking, which will definitely make many people like it and make a lot of money." Li Yangming was eating fragrant food while imagining his vision.

"Okay, since everyone said yes, hurry up and pack up and go, leave early, sell it and go home." Old Man Li put his hands behind his back and urged a few people to go to the town to set up a stall.

"Don't worry! Father. Li Yangde and Li Yangwu went to the utility room to find two big back baskets and put them on the kitchen floor, Li Sun's first put a basin of fried skewers on skewers, covered them with bamboo lids made of bamboo, and then put a pot of vegetable balls wrapped in batter, and carefully covered them with lids to prevent dust and dust.

Li Yangqing also put the bamboo tube filled with spices in the back basket, this spice tube is still made by Li Yangqing asked Yangde to do, the tube cover has a few holes in the lid to facilitate the sprinkling of spices, and then use a small piece of clean cloth towel to tightly wrap the lid tightly so as not to spill out, and then take off the cloth towel when you use it.

Li Qiushi carried a basket with a wooden bowl, a long spoon, two large plates and a few pairs of chopsticks and put it in the back basket.

Li Yangwu stabilized the other basket with both hands, and Li Yangming put the stove, firewood and signboard into it, and put a few small horses to sit for a while.

Li Sun scooped the chrysanthemum tea in the pot into the wooden barrel and covered the lid, and Li Yangming was responsible for carrying the bucket of chrysanthemum tea.

Li Qiu carried a basket of washed and dried banana leaves and zongzi leaves in one hand, pulled Li Yangqing in the other, and the mother and daughter followed behind the three brothers, Li Yangde and Li Yangwu were in charge of the two back baskets, and the five of them walked towards the entrance of the village in the early morning mist.

The home that stayed at home saw off a few people with an ardent expectation, "Come back early and pay attention to safety." Li Wenshi did not forget to tell a few people, until he couldn't see the backs of a few people, he closed the door and returned to the courtyard.

When the five members of the Li family walked to the ferry port at the entrance of the village, they saw the old man Li Jiang sitting on the boat waiting for them, the old man was enjoying himself with a cigarette stick in his mouth and closing his eyes, and when he heard the movement, he got up and jumped off the cabin to the shore, "Tingyuan's daughter-in-law, Yangde, Yangwu, Yangqing, you are here, get on the boat quickly." ”

When Li Yangwu came back yesterday, he made an agreement with Mr. Li Jiang, so early in the morning, Mr. Li Jiang came to the boat to wait for a few people, and Mr. Li Jiang beckoned everyone to get on the boat, and at the same time helped the Li brothers unload the basket and put it on the boat.

"Grandpa Jiang, it's early!" Li Yangqing found a seat on the boat.

"Yang Qing girl, you are also early!"

"Grandpa Jiang, no, no, this barrel doesn't weigh me to move." Li Yangming was a little embarrassed to let the old man carry the barrel, and in order to prove that the barrel was indeed not heavy, he carried the barrel to the boat with one hand and put it away.

"Uncle Jiang, I've kept you waiting." Li Wenshi said politely to the old man, raised his feet and got on the boat and sat down next to Li Yangqing.

"Not long after, I told Yang Wu yesterday that I was going to sail the boat, and the big guy was doing it steadily." The old man picked up the pole after the words fell, and the pole was pushed hard against the shore, and the boat sailed forward under the force, although the old man was old, his body was very tough, and the boat was stable and fast.

"You're carrying so many things on your back, are you going to the town to sell things?"

"Grandpa Jiang, there is not much food at home, and I am thinking that I am idle, so I will try to set up a stall in the town to see if I can make some money." Li Yangde replied.
