Chapter 329: Trying the case is a matter of routine
was so shocked that Feng Chunmei desperately broke free from her, her face was red with shame, and she ran into the room as if she was flying.
She took out the newly bought bronze mirror, and when she took such a picture, oh my God, she was really beautiful and beautiful, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Seeing that the sky was about to dusk, Feng Chunmei was full of spirits, and together with Wang Xuanniang, the whole dish was vigorous, and the three of them wanted to have a good meal.
Ran Peng thoroughly cleaned her water tank, found a well under the hillside, and filled a tank of water. I tore up a new towel and brought water to wipe all the doors, windows, tables and stools of her house one by one. Although it is an old house and old furniture, it suddenly looks new when it is cleaned like this.
Then he took out his axe and nailed the squeaky and shaking bench to the wooden tenon, and it was as strong as ever. Then I saw that there was a big crack in the earthen wall under her eaves, and I picked up some soil, including thatch and some mud, and brought a ladder to mend the crack. He was busy until it was too dark to see, and then Ran Peng stopped.
Feng Chunmei brought the stewed meat and fried vegetables to the table of the Eight Immortals, and shouted: "Jihai, Xuanniang, come, sit down, and ask my sister-in-law to give you a few glasses." ”
Ran Peng couldn't see the dishes and chopsticks on the table at all, but he vaguely saw the outline of the dishes on the table of the Eight Immortals, and shouted, "The newly bought candles are lit." ”
Feng Chunmei found a candle to light it, and said with a smile: "Brother is really a general." In the countryside, don't say how luxurious it is to light candles, even if you light oil lamps, you only light them when you come to visit. My family eats dinner in the dark. ”
When the wine was half-drunk, Wang Xuanniang was already sleepy, and she was tired all day, so she hastily rinsed her mouth and went to sleep.
Ran Peng couldn't help but ask his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, I'm not polite, you are such a beautiful person, you should usually pay attention to washing cleanly, no wonder my cousin has an external heart." ”
Feng Chunmei was suddenly in tears and responded to him: "Jihai, don't you know, I am guarding the house alone, and I am very neat, I don't know how many swingers will knock on the door." People say that there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and they are absolutely right. I'm so sloppy, and I happen to have a lot less trouble. ”
Ran Peng was taken aback, this was really reasonable, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, what I said just now was heavy." However, how can you live in an empty house at a young age?"
Feng Chunmei came over with a punch and smashed Ran Peng and the guy with a "tom": "Widows have widows' ways of living." ”
After speaking, he ran to the bedside and took out a woodcarved gourd with a diameter of seven or eight minutes and five inches, handed it to Ran Peng, and giggled: "Haven't you seen this? How? Silly brother, it's not that we don't want to get involved in a man's body, but if your brother doesn't fight well outside and comes back, no matter how guilty I am, it can be regarded as a poor home. Even if you seduce a man and marry again, wouldn't you still be angry again to make your home good?"
After saying this, Ran Peng was so moved that he came up and hugged Feng Chunmei: "Sister-in-law has suffered such a big grievance for my brother, and my little brother really doesn't know how to express my gratitude to you!"
Feng Chunmei didn't cry instead, raised his head, and said firmly and affectionately: "Jihai, you let me conceive a child." I give birth to your child, even if Tang Dong never goes home again, I raise a child, and I finally have a settlement in my heart. In the future, I will say that Tang Dong is a rebel and secretly went home to conceive. ”
Ran Peng was even more moved and didn't know how to speak, picked up his sister-in-law and went to the kitchen, did the work on the stove, and didn't completely extinguish the stove fire until the fourth watch. Feng Chunmei was making the stove while crying, and she didn't know how to express her happiness. Ran Peng was also in tears, very excited.
On the second day, Ran Peng took out a little loose silver, and continued to ask his sister-in-law and Wang Xuanniang to go to the county seat to buy wine and meat. He also cut down some bamboo, and asked the craftsman to weave all the utensils imaginable.
In this way, Ran Peng and Wang Xuanniang lived in Tangjiaping for seven or eight days and made five or six stoves.
Ran Peng asked Feng Chunmei to invite the head of the Tang family and the brothers who were closer to the door, and set up two tables of banquets, asking them to take care of them more in the future.
Finally, parting, Ran Peng gave Feng Chun another ingots of fifty taels of silver, and told her to think of a business to do and completely change the life mode of relying on that little thin field. He also left a war horse and told her to ride a horse to run the business, which was fast and face-saving. When business is busy, it is absolutely not possible to rely on two legs.
After Ran Peng and Wang Xuanniang left, Feng Chunmei went to Santing County to see what kind of business was suitable for him. After turning around for more than ten days, I found that there were three or four kinds of business suitable for me, so I set up a banquet and invited three sisters-in-law from Tangjiaping who love business to be a staff officer.
The three sisters-in-law went to the county seat with her for a few days and decided to start a business with stable money.
Qi Diao Gu and Tang Yuran were talking about this, Yao Qianyi, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't hold on, and said tremblingly: "Chitose, county order, I will do all the tricks, I will say everything, don't let it fall lightly." ”
Qi Diao Gu said angrily: "Say it, don't tell the truth, continue to kneel." ”
Yao Qianyi suddenly couldn't cry and said, "This old mansion is mine." In the past, when the thieves entered the city, Yao Qianshu discussed with me, why not ask the broken house to take the opportunity to sell it, and go to the county hall to make a statement, saying that the thieves entered the city and were forced to sell cheaply. In the future, if a buyer buys from the Zhang family, the new buyer will be asked to compensate for the loss.
"This house is said to be sold cheaply, but in fact it is not broken, and it happens to be worth that price. After the deal, Yao Qianshu blackmailed ....... ”
As soon as he said this, Yao Qianshu climbed a few steps to Yao Qianji, and was about to raise his fist to fight, but the brothers Hu Feijian and Hu Feiting lifted him up and pressed him to the ground.
Yao Qianzhen said: "Fortunately, Chitose is in charge today, he has the Hibiscus Sword with him on weekdays, who dares to mention this? After the house was sold to the Zhang family, seeing that the family began to rest, Yao Qianshu blackmailed me for 30% of the house as payment. Today, I came to extort Chitose, it was four or six points, he accounted for four, and he paid for the lost work of these thirty people. ”
Qi Diaogu looked at Tang Yuran: "Please record the confession of the county order, and then dare to come to my house to mess around, don't blame the old man and the apprentices for beating you to death on the spot." ”
Tang Xian Ling hugged his fist at Furong Hou: "Chitose, don't panic, tell him to continue to kneel, let's continue to do family cooking." They didn't finish it, but there was a lot to do. This county has been investigating for a long time, but it can't catch the tail, and now it happens to take advantage of the prestige of a thousand years old to clear up all the cases. Come, Master Li recorded a confession. ”
Lord Bo Li Mu smiled: "Big brother, I recorded this one just now, just see what to say below." ”
Qi Diao Gu laughed: "No wonder the county commander saw that they kept kneeling and didn't speak, it turned out that there were a lot of things to hold." Wonderful, wonderful, I've hit a bosom friend today. Let's continue our homework. ”
Tang Yuran also smiled: "It's weird, people are all vibrating on the surface, and they are justified everywhere." Okay, speaking of my mother, I'm going to do business and continue to report to Chitose. ”
Feng Chunmei finally decided to make a weighing workshop, hire idle laborers in the countryside to grind or lick, and take an apprentice to sell. Don't people know how to do their own restaurants and wine shops? The cost of doing it yourself is still low, so why do you want us? There are three reasons for choosing this industry.
The first is that the glutinous rice and sticky rice we get are at a low price. In our rural areas, glutinous rice and sticky rice are produced in our own fields, and every household carries them, according to the purchase price of large merchants, a little higher. The glutinous rice and sticky rice in the restaurants and wine shops in the city were obtained from the rice merchants, and the difference between them was at least a penny per catty.
Second, let's set up a workshop, specializing in the processing of this variety of ingredients, must be fine, the restaurant and wine shop get it, and you can sell it directly on the basket and steam. They can free up time to dedicate their own meals to less manpower, which will definitely reduce costs and increase profits.
Third, there are many idle laborers in our rural areas, and although the wages are much less than those in the cities, why not do it because everyone stays at home to earn money? It is much more interesting than chewing on the root of the tongue and gossiping every day. Of course, it is easy to make money as a boss in this way, and the villagers have also earned money and are getting closer and closer.
Feng Chunmei thought of the strange beauty, how to do it?
This makes her mistaken, almost every family in the countryside will do it, but they only make a little to eat during the New Year's holidays. However, restaurants and liquor stores have to sell them every day. Anyone knows how to make it, and it is nothing more than three main processes.
The first process is to grind, use fine glutinous rice and sticky rice to mix evenly, wash off the chaff, soak it in water, and then grind it into very fine rice milk with soft stone grinding rice flour.
The second process is to make dough, first use a dustpan to clear the rice milk, cover it with a muslin cloth, put the clean cold ash in the stove on the handkerchief, and suck out the excess water in the rice milk. Remove the bunker and ash and knead into rice balls.
The third process of steaming, whether it is ground or licked rice dough, after full kneading, kneaded out the glutinous, can be made into a weighing scale, on the retort steamed. Because it looks like a weighing stone, it is called "weighing stone".
The "weighing dumplings" made of rice milk ground from a stone mill are delicate and soft to eat. The "Weighing Rice Cake" made of rice flour made from stone flour is coarse and fragrant to eat. At the same time, adjusting the ingredient ratio of glutinous rice and sticky rice can also change the glutinousness and softness of the "scale rake".
"Weighing Dumplings" are hollow and filled. The hollow one is hollow only with a hollow hole underneath. The more elaborate "scales and rakes" are all stuffed. There are many kinds of filling, mung beans mixed with sugar, soybeans fried and grinded, sesame mixed with sugar, bacon, sausages, etc. The taste is different depending on the heart.
Before and after the Qingming Festival, Artemisia spit out leaves, at this time, if you pick some tender Artemisia leaves and cook and bleach, and crush them together with rice flour to make "Artemisia Baba", eat a clear heart and clear eyes, don't be a taste.
The "Weighing Cake" that has just been steamed and boiled looks deep and bright, like milky white amber and translucent white jade. Eat it hot, glutinous, soft, sweet, fragrant, and have a unique flavor.
Feng Chunmei asked the three sisters-in-law to cooperate with him, and made the weighing and pounding at home for three days in a row, and adjusted and refined the specific processes.
Grind the powder by hand. Grind the rice flour with two discs of grinding until it can no longer be fine.
Wash the chaff by hand. One person takes care of two discs.
Specially refined. Use two soft grinders to grind the rice milk until it can't be finer.
Filter the water by hand. It is also called for a man to take care of the two discs.
Specially kneaded the dough. Knead until glutinous and glutinous, to achieve the best state. Two people are needed.
Stuffing by hand. One person is responsible.
Specially packed with baba. Two people are in charge.
In this way, there are seven processes, and it takes twelve people to cook. The owner brought a companion to sell, and there were two people. The whole down was fourteen people.
With so many people busy, how can we make the big guys earn money? Where is the profit of the owner?
