When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan returned to their 'home', they deliberately went to the courtyard where their younger brothers and sisters were.

The lights were still on, but the sound of the diesel generator could not be heard, because the generator was placed deep underground, and some of the wires pulled out were given to the yamen of the state capital, some to the hospital, and the rest to illuminate the house.

The two walked into the courtyard, waved their hands to the person who wanted to say hello, and went straight to the window, where the nine little guys were discussing the problem, to be precise, to correct the mistakes made by Xiaobei during the day, and try their best to make up for it.

After listening for a while, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan understood that during the day, Xiaobei discussed with others that it was Li Xiaogang who had found people, and everyone was in the same industry, animal husbandry, and wanted to go to the newly occupied land to build a ranch together.

According to the idea of his brother and sister, Xiaobei painted cakes for a group of adults, saying that safety is guaranteed, alfalfa grass is easy to plant, high yield, and can also grow other crops, without charging any rent and tax, whether it is grain, alfalfa grass, and raised livestock, the state will buy it at a high price and send a ship directly to it.

At the same time, they will carry the goods that go to the country with the ship and sell them to the ranchers at a discounted price.

Becky was right, but when she mentioned the dogs, she promised to sell them to other ranchers, and when she talked eloquently, the merchants who raised the cattle listened attentively, and then her eyebrows fluttered.

Xiaoyuan and the other eight people were indifferent, and when Xiaobei raised his hand to vote, the eight people raised their hands together and passed.

passed in front of others, and when they returned home, eight people began to talk around Xiaobei, the reason was that Xiaobei sold the dog, the dog's breeding cycle was short, and everyone finally breded, wouldn't it be a loss for himself and others to cooperate with Song Dakang?

Xiaobei didn't say anything like 'you all agreed just now, but now you regret it', she knows that when she is external, the nine people are absolutely in the same step, and when there is a disagreement, go home and say it, without giving others any chance to be separated.

At the moment, nine children are discussing. How can you make up for the loss.

"We didn't sign a contract with them before, did we? Is it okay to ......?" Xiaofang reminded.

"Nope." Xiao Gang shook his head: "We are different from others, what we say is more credible than the contract, and once we make a promise, the sky will fall without regrets." ”

Xiaobei sighed leisurely: "It's all my fault, I said I was excited." Open your mouth and sell the dog. ”

"I don't blame you. We don't regret it, since we chose you to the outside world, no matter what you do, we fully support it. If you really can't do it...... Raise the price. "Xiaoqiang has no intention of holding anyone accountable at all.

"The price is basically that money, it's not good to raise too much, you have to find a way." Xiaoyuan followed his brother's example, and nodded his fingers on his face one by one, as if he could become smarter.

"I really can't ask my brother. Brother must have a good solution, right? Anyway, we are all younger brothers and sisters, and there is no shame. "Becky wants to try to make up for what he did wrong.

Xiaohai supported: "It's not a shame to be ashamed, but we always have to think hard about ourselves first, and always ask our brothers and sisters, we will be dependent in the future, and my brothers and sisters don't want to see a group of younger brothers and sisters who have no opinions, but are just obedient." ”

"Think, think first. I can't think of asking tomorrow morning. Becky said loudly.

Listening to Zhang Xiaobao pulling Wang Juan outside from the window, the two turned around and left cautiously.

"Where are you going?" Wang Juan saw that Zhang Xiaobao's direction was not a place to rest, and asked.

"Kitchen, I'll make them a snack." Zhang Xiaobao replied, and quickened his pace.

When the two of them arrived in the kitchen. There are still people in the kitchen who are busy cooking, and due to the routine of the inner courtyard of the house, the kitchen never stops for twelve hours.

"Little boy, are you hungry?" The person in charge of the kitchen greets.

"Where's the rest of the night? Bring it to me...... Take...... Normally, five people eat the amount. The whole pot is served, don't pick and choose. Zhang Xiaobao didn't explain. Ask directly.

The steward told someone to fetch the leftovers and wait with them.

Less pouring, the person who took the rice came back, holding a 'pot', which is actually the bottom left after cooking rice in a large pot, grabbed along the edge of the pot, and became a 'pot', under normal circumstances, the white rice on the top can also be used to cook porridge, and the pot below is specially fried or fumigated.

Zhang Xiaobao took it, looked back and forth, was very satisfied, nodded to the person in charge, and followed Wang Juan to his small kitchen.

Wang Juan sniffed, the taste was very good, better than direct rice, there was a faint mushy smell in it, and asked, "I want to make smoked chicken." ”

"Don't do it, I haven't cooked chicken yet, what's smoked, make pot." Zhang Xiaobao put the 'pot' on the cutting board, and lifted the knife with serrated teeth at the back, which is very similar to a Western knife, comparing the amount back and forth, trying to find a suitable place for the knife.

"It's already a pot, so let people scrape out the rest of the rice inside, and the rest can be eaten directly." Wang Juan picked up a spoon and planned to scrape it with a spoon.

Zhang Xiaobao put down his hand and began to cut the knife, dividing the 'pot' into small pieces of one inch square, and the outermost circle was with an arc, and then put the block up, cut it with a knife in the direction of the block, and cut it with a knife, the outermost layer of rice was cut out, and the middle position of the second knife was separated from the last slightly black paste.

Every small piece was concocted like this, and after a while, Zhang Xiaobao finished processing the raw materials and said to Wang Juan: "Find a pancake pan and spread the pot." ”

Wang Juan knew where the things were, so he walked over and brought them over, brushed them with water, and placed them on the stove: "Are you sure it's a stall and not a dry oven." ”

"There's a difference?" Zhang Xiaobao smiled: "How convenient it is for me to use an iron plate for dry stir-frying, I have to bake a little live, light the fire, you help me watch the pot, and I will prepare the other two pots." ”

Saying that, Zhang Xiaobao lit the fire, threw the darkest part of the pot into it, spread out the shovel, and let Wang Juan help watch it.

Zhang Xiaobao found another big spoon, washed it, put it on another stove, lit the same fire, put a little meat oil, watched the oil melt away, and began to spread to the side as the temperature rose, so he shook the big spoon, so that the oil was as much as possible in every part of the pot, only a thin layer.

When the oil is smoking, pour out a little extra oil at the bottom of the pot, reduce the heat, continue to bake the spoon on it, and wait until the oil is visible to the naked eye There are no traces of flowing, and when it is gradually dry, the top rice is poured in, and then the fire is turned over, after a few times, the rice turns yellow, put it out and put it on Wang Juan's side, and let her continue to bake it with a pan for a while.

Zhang Xiaobao only left the pot that was cut in the middle just now, and took out a flat mesh made of iron wire. Put the pot carefully, then take the charcoal and point the stove, wait for the charcoal fire to be completely red, take a thin iron sheet, and rub it with ginger. Then cover it on the vertical stove. Then put the barbed wire in your hand on the iron sheet, and bake the pot on the barbed wire at the temperature that rises after burning the iron sheet with charcoal.

Wang Juan looked at it and frowned: "This trouble, depending on the situation, the pot in your hand is the best, right." ”

"Oh yes, I have a little burnt smell on my hands. Crispy and tough, the aroma of rice and the aroma of the pot are mixed together, and it will rattle when you chew it hard, and when you shout it in your mouth for a while, it is as muscular as a rice cake, and when you reprocess it for a while. Just add a little salt. ”

Zhang Xiaobao's eyes kept staring at the barbed wire, putting his hand to the side from time to time to test the temperature, and occasionally dipping his fingers in some saliva, putting it on the roast, and seeing the speed of drying.

Wang Juan looked at Zhang Xiaobao's serious appearance, and really didn't know what to say, no wonder Xiaobei They don't like to eat outside things, and they always pester their brother to cook when they are at home, which is purely habitual. It's really not tired of eating, and it's not tired of being fine, and it's all about raising the mouths of the little guys.

Wang Juan turned his head and continued to look at the tweezer in front of him, turning it over with a shovel from time to time. So as not to roast it, and when the little ones taste it, they will immediately throw it aside, which will be very troublesome.

I thought that maybe the two in my hand were worse than the ones in Xiaobao's hand. Wang Juan wondered and asked, "Since you are doing better." Why don't you let people fetch more food? Why keep me busy? ”

"It's different, things have to be divided into grades to reflect which is better, there is no comparison, there is no good or bad, the three kinds of pots are compared to them, they will be clear, the original is not the same name of the thing is the same, like this in my hand, it takes a lot of effort to make, pay attention to the materials, take it out and sell it, and the price is higher than the kind of rice that I have fried.

When the time comes, I will sell you the pot and sell you the rice directly, and as for the pot you are baking now, you can taste it a little, and then smell it. ”

Zhang Xiaobao took a small tweezer and began to turn the pot over, the movement was gentle, but the speed was very fast.

Wang Juan laughed: "So your pot is lotus-flavored?" Isn't it muddy to throw in the mud? ”

"Then you have to apply a lot of oil, otherwise the pot will have a very bad draft."

"Poor mouth, you say that your pot is good, do others believe it?" Wang Juan glanced at Zhang Xiaobao and asked again.

"I don't believe we can compare, hold a pot competition, formulate rules and projects, and finally score, whose score is high, whose pot is left, from now on can not be sold, can only rent, rent to smell the taste for two days, and then send it back, or continue to rent."

As he spoke, the net in Zhang Xiaobao's hand was baked, and he continued to change it and put it up.

Wang Juan was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhang Xiaobao's words, and then shook his head slightly, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a gentle smile. Understood, everything is understood. Xiaobei and they are trying to make up for the mistakes they made during the day, but they can't do it if they don't sell it, and they can't find an excuse to raise the price. wants to come over and ask his brother Xiaobao, then Xiaobao is now providing them with an idea.

Use supper to guide younger brothers and sisters to solve problems, if Datang's teachers can do it to such an extent like Xiaobao, except for those with particularly poor IQs, Datang will have no stupid students.

No, even if the IQ is poor, I believe that Xiaobao will be trained to become a genius, just like the child with a very low IQ I heard before, but his understanding of music is very thorough, usually walking is to hear the song will come out of the rhythm, and finally be able to conduct the symphony.

"Xiaobao, your kind of education method is not something that everyone can imitate, it's too painstaking, there are many children raised by Xiaobei who provide funds to raise them are not intellectually good, can you still educate them one by one?"

Wang Juan said to Zhang Xiaobao, in fact, she wanted to express her inner pain, there are too few people like Xiaobao, if there are more, is it better for Datang.

"Isn't it a teacher's job to bother educating children? It's not what I said, what is intelligence? Use a rule to rank the children of the world? The human brain is complex, if it can be studied thoroughly, human beings have already become gods, since the study is not thorough, why use the standard of impenetrable to locate others?

In the future, we will train a group of teachers, and give them a salary that is so high that they will be shocked by others, and they will be rewarded for their efforts, and they can use the so-called children with low IQ as the assessment standard, who can teach well, who can cultivate the child's natural side, and who will be eligible to get that large sum of money.

I'm sure somebody will succeed, didn't I say that God closed a window, but Allah kicked it open. Then say Amitabha, say Amitabha, that Amitabha Buddha has sweet sorrow, immeasurable Tianzun. ”

Zhang Xiaobao changed the pot again.

"Be careful, Xu Zhimo is looking for you desperately, the old pot on my pan is finished. What seasoning do you put in it? Wang Juan snatched out all the pots that had been boiled before. Throw in the rice processed by Zhang Xiaobao again and said.

"Wait, I'll be fine here in a while, I just have a little salt in my hand. What you bake now is made into seafood flavor, and the old pot before is made into barbecue flavor, and when you taste it, Xiaobei will know that it is not that the more complex the taste, the better it is, and what seems simple in the world may not be simple. ”

Zhang Xiaobao was still roasting his pot without hurrying.

The past ten minutes or so. Zhang Xiaobao finished the work on his hands, put all the pots on hand on a large cutting board, stepped back two cloths, grabbed a handful of jīng salt and threw it into the sky, and waved his sleeves in the process of falling, and the scattered floating salt passed by the pot.

Picked up a pot and tasted it, and said, "Yes, the salt is sprinkled very evenly, and there is a little taste when you eat it." When I tasted it carefully, I found that it was not salty at all. ”

"Waste of salt." Wang Juan said.

"The main thing is that salt is cheap, and the sea water can't be used up, and the price of salt is not high. No, if it's high, I'll have to pack it up. Whoever dares to raise the price of salt, I will bankrupt the family. Leave the work in your hands to me. ”

After Zhang Xiaobao threw away the salt, he didn't clean it up, and waited for others to come over.

Another quarter of an hour passed. After a barbecue-flavored pot and a seafood-flavored pot were ready, the two walked towards the courtyard of their younger siblings. Zhang Xiaobao is in charge of the tray.

"According to the method I said, all the male dogs that were sold in the past are cut, and see how they breed, and when the dogs are old in a few years, they have to buy new ones, and then we will take back the old dogs and kill them for meat." The little man's voice sounded when Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan stood under the window again.

"It's cruel." The big man's voice followed: "Shepherd dogs are not like cattle and sheep, they usually help people do things, and they have paid a lot, like our domestic dogs, they usually pull sleds in the snow, some train search and rescue skills, and some rush forward when they encounter danger, just to protect their owners."

When they are old and can't work, everyone will eat them again, and they can't go down their mouths, and they are not like carnivorous dogs specially raised to eat, so let them spend their old age in peace, and dog meat is not delicious. ”

"Then don't eat it." Becky spoke.

Xiaoyuan took over: "The old dog is actually very useful, experienced, smooth communication with people, in some aspects can take the puppy to increase the learning speed, such as the mouse who took the mouse medicine, the old dog knows at a glance that he doesn't eat, and he doesn't let the puppy eat, just like the old man we support, it is all valuable wealth." ”

When Zhang Xiaobao heard this, he motioned to Wang Juan, who walked over and knocked on the door and shouted: "Open the door for my brothers and sisters, and send delicious food, which is better than dog meat." ”

After a while, Xiaobei opened the door and pouted: "I have to knock on the door if I eavesdrop." ”

"No eavesdropping." Wang Juan shook his head.

"How do you know we talk about dog meat without eavesdropping?" Becky turned around and jumped two steps.

"Say Cao cāo Cao cāo is here, Cao cāo did he hear it?" Zhang Xiaobao asked.

Xiaobei was stunned for a moment and nodded: "I understand, if you are a diplomat, you should be shameless, and sometimes you should treat it as true if you know that what the other party said is false, so what is better than dog meat?" ”

"How do you make dog meat delicious?" Zhang Xiaobao asked.

"Honestly? It's not good to do anything, it's much worse than beef and mutton, especially cold salad, you have to add a lot of seasonings, and you can't dip it in soy sauce, the beany smell plus the taste of dog meat is too bad, it's okay to eat the pot, the same soybeans are put in it, but the taste has become better, relatively, the beef and mutton are also delicious to eat in the pot, better than dog meat. ”

Xiaobei summed up, she has eaten a few times, and she doesn't want to eat it anymore, and the guards at home don't eat it, what do you say about aphrodisiac, nonsense, what is really good for the body is beef and mutton, but the cow is not easy to kill casually, and the inner courtyard of the family can't slaughter cattle every day, and generally eats mutton.

Zhang Xiaobao grinned twice: "The supper we sent has something to do with the pot." ”

"Hot pot? Seafood pot? Xiaobei walked into the room, turned sideways, twisted his head and asked.

"Pot." Zhang Xiaobao replied.

When Xiaobei heard this, she ran over and hugged her brother, laughing non-stop, burying her head in her brother's chest and twisting it vigorously.

After a while, he raised his head: "Brother, I really admire you, it is the pot that has something to do with the pot, oops, laugh at me." It's the same as you said before that a household appliance is a flashlight, isn't it? ”

"Then do you want to eat?" Zhang Xiaobao couldn't help but smile and asked.

The little ones nodded at the same time: "Eat~!" ”

Zhang Xiaobao put the tray on the small table, lifted the lid on it, and pointed to one of them: "Seafood-flavored." Low-cost dropshipping. A penny and a small dish. ”

When Xiaobei stretched out, he instantly pulled back: "Yes, I want money." ”

"Of course, your brother and I can't work in vain, your brother and I are a very good little treasure in the mouths of the people. Is it expensive for a penny for a penny of a supper made by Xiaobao? Zhang Xiaobao pursed his lips and asked.

Xiaobei shook his head: "It's not expensive, it's so cheap, so how much is this?" ”

She pointed to the plate next to the seafood flavored pot.

"There's no fixed price for this. If you have to bid, it is an auction. Zhang Xiaobao said that he is also willing to play with his younger brothers and sisters.

Xiaoyuan stood up: "Brother, then you can introduce us to the pot to be auctioned." ”

"Okay, everyone come and see, it is produced by a century-old store, with traditional recipes, modern craftsmanship, and jīng heart. With dedication, the barbecue flavor pot was officially unveiled today, with a starting price of five cents, and a price increase of no less than one penny each time. ”

Zhang Xiaobao said very passionately.

"Wuwen." Xiaobei raised his hand and quoted a reserve price. The other eight little guys shook their heads one after another, looking like this thing was not tasty.

"Wuwen, Wuwen for the first time, this most beautiful little princess bids Wuwen. Let's take a look, sure enough, it's the women who don't let the eyebrows. This little princess combines wisdom and courage, is there a higher bid? Wuwen for the second time, barbecue flavor pot is different from barbecue meat, pot is not only easy to promote food digestion, but also can be used as a snack, but it is a necessary thing to go out, home travel, kill people and eliminate mouths, and there is no price increase, Wuwen for the third time, deal, good, everyone is not supporting, make such a sale, I have to pay death, there is no bonus of a penny. ”

Zhang Xiaobao looked very sad and shook his head with a sigh.

The little ones laughed and hugged one by one, picking up the two flavors of pot and tasting it in their mouths.

"Order, order, pay attention to order." Zhang Xiaobao shouted like a qualified auctioneer.

"Brother, you're so fun, you auction with us, how can we bid for each other to tear down the table, and there's one left, what's it?" Becky chewed the pot in her mouth and pointed to the last plate.

Zhang Xiaobao touched his sister's head and said: "In the end, this one is only rented and not sold, and when you rent it and smell it, you have to get it back for me, smell it once for a penny, not with your mouth, you still chew, oops, jīng product pot, it's not the same price as a penny, it's the kind that sells it, and you still eat the jīng product." ”

The nine little ones were eating, and they all suddenly stopped when they heard their brother's words.

Wang Juan squatted down, kissed Xiaoqiang and Xiaonan, who were closest to him, and said, "Why don't you eat it?" How is the pot of jīng product compared to the meat of a shepherd dog? ”

Xiaobei looked up at his brother, his eyes were foggy, he buried his head in his brother's arms again, and shouted loudly after a while: "Brother, you are the best, let's go back and let the dogs have a selection competition, the bad ones will be sold directly, the medium bids, and the better ones will only be rented and not sold." ”

"Then eat, don't eat too much, it's not good for the stomach and intestines, after all, the pot has shrunk, and when it comes to the stomach, it is easy to swell." Zhang Xiaobao said with a caring smile.

Xiaoyuan They also became relaxed, the problem was solved, first hold a competition, wait for the dogs to distinguish the strength and weakness, then even if they want to sell directly, the ranchers have to compete, and the demanders will take the initiative to seek price advantages in the case of different goods, so as to obtain.

Xiaobei ran out to bring a few bottles of soda, under the pretext that he was happy today and had some drink.

Zhang Xiaobao naturally will not veto, and at the same time praised his sister for her good timing, usually carbonated drinks are not drunk casually, generally drink pure juice, but the little ones like the feeling of carbonic acid when they enter the mouth.

"Brother, is the seafood pot a lie? I can tell that the rice is baked and dried, it is different, and the pot at the bottom of the pot is different when cooking rice, even if you put real shrimp roe and crab roe, it tastes much worse. ”

Xiaobei ate a few seafood flavored pots that looked good, and said to his brother.

"Xiaobao saw that you raised them, and I didn't find any other skills, but my ability to eat and taste is getting higher and higher." Wang Juan's eyes swept Zhang Xiaobao and said.

Zhang Xiaobao nodded to his sister: "Only those who know how to eat understand life, and only those who know life know what others need and think in life, so as to administer, but the true meaning of eating is not to be able to say the formula immediately." It's about experiencing the bits and pieces of what others eat from what they eat.

Knowing the suffering of the people, we can find a way to turn bitterness into sweetness, just like my sister and I went to teach others to make cold powder, barley is not delicious, people in the northwest used to eat because it was convenient to grow in the climatic environment. At the same time, when eating, the method is simple. It's sautéed and grilled.

Then even if wheat and rice are brought and roasted and fried, the taste is not much better than that of barley, and the wheat is better ground into flour. Being able to spread cakes, this is exactly how butter cakes come about.

Now that there is a pressure cooker, the barley is not delicious, so what should I do? By understanding the taste of barley, we specifically focus on the production. That's jelly. Therefore, yù eaters, prophets of the people, and the people take food as the sky. ”

The nine little ones had stopped all their movements and listened to their brother.

After Zhang Xiaobao finished speaking, the little ones looked at each other, and Xiaobei said: "Brother, we know, we have time to taste all the things that others eat, and then take the raw materials." Give it to the people at home to try to make it taste better, and then teach it to others again. ”

"Don't say anything else today, eat, the pot is still delicious." Zhang Xiaobao is very relieved that his younger brothers and sisters are sensible. Do not vain your own teachings.

"Brother, ask something." Xiaobei ate a few, and then said to his brother: "Why is it the best to just put a little salt?" That barbecue flavor is bluffing, simmering. If you want to mask the flavor with spices such as cumin and peppercorns, it is impossible. It's muddy. ”

Zhang Xiaobao smiled and echoed: "Yes, the paste is the paste, normally I won't cover it up, I will specifically improve it, the soup is also a taste, but if you have to reflect the taste of the smoke, it will be too sharp, so I chose the middle part, you look simple, just put the salt, but it takes the most thought."

But from the point of view of performance, it is the most ordinary, just like the people you see, everyone seems to be doing things according to a law, and then there is prosperity, the market is noisy and the school is loud, and the children laugh and laugh with the shouting and selling, what about me, the best pot for you is actually not the best, but I deliberately make it the best, in fact, the seafood flavor and barbecue flavor of the raw materials, I can still make the best.

Those who know food must consider the problems in the process of process sorting, but it is more difficult to know the people than to know food, so what should we do when we are at a loss? Easy to do, prosperous and blind, the avenue is rustic. Those who stand with their own hearts have nothing to do with right or wrong. ”

The nine little ones nodded again.

Xiaobei was still in charge of speaking: "Brother, if I heard you say this a few days ago, we won't cooperate with the sale of livestock, once we cooperate, it will inevitably cause pressure on other people, and we have a lot of people through Li Xiaogang, oops." Xiaoyuan, tell me what we think now. ”

"Me again?" Xiaoyuan didn't know how many times he had said the same thing, but he had to stand up when he didn't.

"Brother, what we have done is really wrong, the people of the people, should be the first to lead and not do the same, the same people, then in the name of our people, the law of the people is not in agreement, and the people are not in line with the contention of the people."

Wang Juan took over and said: "Yes, there are too many people you are looking for to cooperate, this is not an introduction, but to make businessmen worry about your name and identity when cooperating, as long as they hear that it is you, they will not consider whether it is in line with the current economic situation, so they will not compete through their own efforts."

So now that you know, what are you going to do? Tear up the original promise? Advertise a different rule? Or do you just bring more people on board? ”

"We ...... Wait, let's talk about it. Little Bellie dragged the others to the corner of the room and muttered.

After a while, the little ones came back, and Xiaobei said: "We plan to use the point system to do it, from the time we go to Jiannan Dao, all those who have paid extra to the people's livelihood of the country before will increase the points, and the points of other cooperative people will be zero, and the points of those who pay extra funds from now on will be changed, and in the end he must pay more than he gets, and see who is willing to continue to cooperate with us."

Tomorrow morning, we will take the third page of the newspaper, and now we will send a telegram and coordinate with the distribution agencies in other places, so that they can remove the previous page and replace it with ours, okay? ”

"There is no good or bad, only do not do, go, remember to eat less, I will leave with your sister." Zhang Xiaobao touched Xiaobei's head again, kissed his younger brothers and sisters, turned around and took Wang Juan's hand and left.

s
