Chapter 18: New Business

Shen Qingqing walked home with the pheasant, thinking about it, it would be better to accept the pheasant, on the one hand, if it is sent over, it will not necessarily cause any kind of turmoil, Aunt Lin doesn't know how to arrange it, on the other hand, since this forest is sent at night, it seems that he will not want to send it back.

Leaving the pheasant behind is the safest way.

Xiao Douding's stomach was bulging, and when she saw her carrying a pheasant, the child was very rare: "Chicken! Mother, this chicken is so beautiful, where did you get it? ”

"This ......" Shen Qingqing couldn't answer, thinking about it and just talking. It was sent by a god. ”

"Immortals?" Xiao Douding covered his mouth in surprise, his eyes looked left and right, both scared and expectant. "Mother, how can there be a god who gives us chickens?"

"Because Haohao is obedient, so the gods reward us, you see, as long as people are kind, everything will be obtained."

Xiao Douding nodded as if he didn't understand: "Okay, Haohao will definitely be obedient." ”

Shen Qingqing put the pheasant in the kitchen and covered it with a cage.

After a night without words, Shen Qingqing was too tired after a busy day to go to sleep, thinking about dealing with the pheasant the next day.

When the rooster crowed for the third time, the sun had completely come out, Anning Village slowly woke up, everything was full of vitality in the morning light, Shen Qingqing got up and washed the dirty clothes first, and then heated the glutinous rice balls left over from last night as breakfast, Xiaodouding said that he hadn't eaten enough.

Shen Qingqing originally wanted to go to the mountains to pick some chestnuts again, but he couldn't stand the fact that the weather was too hot, let alone work, even if he sat at home, he couldn't stop sweating and flowing down.

Take a day off and stay at home to deal with the pheasants that were delivered from the woods yesterday.

This pheasant meat is delicious and nutritious, and it is the best to make a flower chicken, and there are still chestnuts left in the house, which is a perfect match.

Shen Qingqing was not lazy, he thought about it, and first used hot water to remove the hair of the chicken, for hygiene, Shen Qingqing scalded it a few more times, and then put it in the boiling water to scald the pheasant in half, and put it aside for preparation.

Xiao Douding peeled a lot of chestnuts, Shen Qingqing blanched the chestnuts, took out rice wine from the cellar and slowly poured it on the pheasant, one is to make the meat more firm, but also to remove the fishy smell. There was no honey in the house, so Shen Qingqing used white sugar instead, melted the white sugar into a thick juice, applied it to the chicken, and put the chestnuts into the chicken's belly.

Then wrap the lotus leaves, put them in the charcoal fire, and you can eat them in half an hour.

Xiao Douding is afraid that he has never seen such a way of cooking food, and he was stunned at every step, and finally simply sat next to the stove and pinched the time.

As soon as half an hour arrived, Xiao Douding immediately shouted: "Mother, it's okay, it's okay to call Huaji!" ”

"Okay." Shen Qingqing put down the chestnuts that he was peeling in his hand, walked to the stove and took out the chicken with a stick, and when the lotus leaf was just opened, a strange fragrance came, which instantly spread to the whole house, and the fragrance was unbearable.

Shen Qingqing put the chicken on the plate, the juice flowed out, and Xiao Douding took his fingers to dip it, and clapped his hands: "Mother, it's so fragrant!" ”

Shen Qingqing tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Xiao Douding: "Eat it." ”

When Xiao Douding was just about to take it, he suddenly waved his hand again: "Chicken legs are a good thing, my mother will eat them first." ”

"Okay, mother-in-law." Shen Qingqing is also not polite, anyway, this one is called Huaji is enough for two people to eat.

It's hot, Shen Qingqing can't eat much, but Xiao Dou Ding is a big eater, after this period of feeding, Xiao Dou Ding's nutrition has also kept up, and there is a lot of meat on his face, which looks like a cotton dumpling, not to mention how cute the meat is.

Xiao Douding was gnawing on a chicken paw, and suddenly said, "Mother, the vegetable seedlings we planted in the backyard a few days ago have grown very tall. ”

Saying this, Shen Qingqing remembered that when she deliberately planted some vegetables in the backyard in order to experiment with the efficacy of the spiritual spring water, she only cared about selling chestnuts these days, and she didn't take this matter to heart.

"How do you know?" Shen Qingqing touched Xiao Douding's head, and her eyes were doting.

Xiao Douding put the last piece of chicken in his mouth and patted his little hands: "When my mother was not at home, Haohao went to see it alone, and the vegetable seedlings grew fast." ”

As he spoke, he wiped his hands with a rag, and then took the corner of Shen Qingqing's clothes to look at it.

This vegetable garden is at the back of the house, and it is only two steps away from it, and Shen Qingqing is also surprised to see the situation of the vegetable garden.

I haven't seen it for a few days, this vegetable garden has been lush, and Sijiqing and some other green vegetables have already struck, it is said that even if this vegetable grows well, it will not grow like this, it seems that it is really the effect of spiritual spring water.

Shen Qingqing squatted down to see, the roots were not necrotic, and the seedling leaves were not yellow, this is a good vegetable.

She was overjoyed, and just wanted to pour some more spiritual spring water, but after lunch, the sun was shining and hanging in the sky, making people drowsy.

At this time, it was obviously not a wise choice to work, and I thought that I would irrigate some spiritual spring water when it was cooler, so I led Xiaodouding back to the house.

Xiaodouding was full of vitality, and after a while, he went to take a nap.

Shen Qingqing woke up after sleeping for an hour, Xiaodouding was sleeping soundly, and Shen Qingqing didn't wake him up.

She returned to the hall, closed her eyes and thought about the holy place of spiritual spring water, and went to scoop up a lot of spiritual spring water, but it was still hot outside, and when she opened the door, she felt a wave of heat rushing in, as if she was about to roast people.

Shen Qingqing was not in a hurry for a while, thinking that the glutinous rice flour that she grinded yesterday would make some delicate and delicious food.

She put the glutinous rice flour on the board, poured water in the middle, kneaded it into glutinous rice dough, kneaded it one by one to the size of half an egg, and after making three or four of them, Shen Qingqing looked left and right, and always felt that it was a shortcoming.

This glutinous rice is chewy and soft, but the taste is too bland.

"Bland?" Thinking of this, Shen Qingqing had an idea and patted his head. "Yes, wouldn't it be nice to put a chestnut in it."

Shen Qingqing hurriedly went to the yard and peeled a small half pot of chestnuts and put them on the board, a full chestnut was placed in the middle of each glutinous rice dumpling, the cage drawer in the house was small, and a pot could only knead a dozen, Shen Qingqing could only put these dozen glutinous rice dumplings into the pot to steam,

The time was just right, the period of summer had passed, Shen Qingqing carried the spiritual spring water to the vegetable garden, and watered each vegetable seedling with a small spoon.

This summer, the vegetable seedlings are also short of water, the land is dry and cracked into yellow-brown, and a small crack is like an earthworm on the ground, when the water is watered, it is immediately absorbed, and the small crack is slowly closed.

As long as you are willing to work and endure hardships, God will always be kind to everyone who pays hard work.

After pouring the spiritual spring water, the first pot of glutinous rice dumplings is also out of the pot.

Xiaodouding just woke up and smelled this sweet smell, rubbed his eyes and ran to the kitchen: "Mother, what are you doing?" ”

Because he woke up in a hurry, the cloth shoes were still worn on the heels of Xiao Douding, Shen Qingqing looked at him helplessly, Xiao Douding stuck out his tongue and hurriedly put the shoes on properly.

Shen Qingqing put the glutinous rice dumplings into Xiao Douding's hand: "Hao Hao taste this." ”

"What is this?" Xiao Douding looked at it curiously, and saw that the glutinous rice dumplings were white as if they were snow, but the taste was extremely sweet.

Xiaodouding took a big bite and ate the chestnuts inside, and the whole person's eyes lit up: "Mother, there are chestnuts in here." ”

"That's right."

Shen Qingqing was kneading the remaining glutinous rice dumplings, and when she heard Xiao Douding speak, she couldn't help but be greedy, so she took a steamed glutinous rice dumpling and put it in her mouth.

This glutinous rice flour is originally very soft, but the taste is as white as boiling water, after putting a chestnut, the whole glutinous rice has a sweet taste of chestnut, especially after the chestnut is steamed, the taste is soft as if it is cotton, but it is extremely wonderful to stay between the lips and teeth.

The various textures blend with each other, and it is indescribably delicious.

Xiao Douding ate one after another, and his mouth was almost stuffed: "Mother, this is really the best dim sum Haohao has ever eaten, how did my mother come up with it?" ”

"My mother thought that she had been busy for the past few days and had no time to accompany Haohao, so she didn't have time to cook some delicious food for Haohao." Shen Qingqing is naturally happy, and at the same time, he also knows that a child of Xiaodouding's age needs companionship and education the most, and Xiaodouding is also smart, and it would be good if he could make achievements in a certain aspect with good guidance.

Xiao Douding sat on the bench, eating in his mouth, and holding glutinous rice dumplings in his hands: "This is better than the jujube cake that my mother bought for me before." ”

"Jujube cake?" Shen Qingqing listened without saying a word, this is probably a snack that the original owner bought for Xiaodouding. "My mother bought you jujube cake before."

"That's right." Little Bean Ding seemed to have thought of something. "That jujube flower cake is not as delicious as the glutinous rice dumplings made by my mother, but it costs two pennies a piece."

"What? Two pennies is too expensive. ”

Shen Qingqing couldn't help but marvel when she heard this, looking at the mouthful of Xiaodouding and the glutinous rice dumplings kneaded in her hands, she suddenly thought of a new business opportunity.

Even though this selling chestnuts is good, but after all, it's just a snack, ordinary people can buy half a catty and a pound are good, the first few days of selling fast are luck and everyone is fresh, but in the future it is not so easy to sell, left and right to find a new way out.

But this glutinous rice dumpling is different, it can be used as a pastry or a snack, not to mention that it can be exchanged for more money, it can also be a long-term business, not to mention that the cost is not expensive.

This selling glutinous rice dumplings is also a good business! Shen Qingqing thought about it, so he decided to sell glutinous rice dumplings in the future!
