The old man put the noodles and the light light, so that the buns wrapped out were smooth and beautiful: "That's what I thought, that's why I told the villagers about this way to make a fortune." ”

The old lady locked her eyebrows and thought for a while, and said, "If the people in our village really flock to the gate of Jiangcheng Shopping Mall to sell plums tomorrow, plums will definitely not be as easy to sell as they are today."

Then you will carry less plums to the city tomorrow, so that you will not be able to sell them all, and you will have to carry them back, which is a waste of effort. ”

Bai Mengdie originally wanted to suggest that the old man go to Hanzheng Street to sell it tomorrow, but Hanzheng Street was mixed, and he was afraid that the old man would be cheated and bullied by the local snake, so it was better to sell it near Jiangcheng Shopping Mall, so he didn't open his mouth.

The old man was a little more optimistic than the old lady: "The flow of people at the gate of Jiangcheng is so large, it won't even be able to sell a basket, don't worry about it." ”

The old lady sighed, "How can I not worry, you and Fluttershy went to the city to sell fruit these two days, and I don't care about you in any class at home?"

I'm afraid that you will be hot, thirsty, hungry, afraid that the people in the city will bully you, and afraid that you will be caught and fined by the city management. ”

The old man said with a smile: "You, eat idle meals and worry about it." ”

Bai Mengdie remembered that before eight o'clock in her previous life, there were always small vendors with no stalls at the entrance of the vegetable market, and they would close their stalls and run away after eight o'clock.

She pondered for a moment and said, "Grandpa, it's Monday from tomorrow, it's a working day, and the chengguan must be more diligent than a rest day."

If grandpa goes to sell at the gate of Jiangcheng shopping mall, even if there is no peer competition, he will be driven by the city management, and if he doesn't talk about delay, business will not be good.

And because tomorrow is a working day, there will not be as many people visiting the mall as there are on Saturday and weekend, so don't go to Jiangcheng Mall to grab business with the villagers.

Grandpa simply rushed to the city at half past six in the morning to ask others where there was a big vegetable market, and grandpa stood at the door of the vegetable market to sell plums.

The market administrator and the chengguan at that point did not go to work, and no one rushed to set up a stall for grandpa.

In the city, there are many uncles and aunts who like to go to the vegetable market early in the morning to buy the freshest vegetables and fruits, and the flow of people is large, and grandpa's plums should not be difficult to sell. ”

The old man nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you, I'll get up at five o'clock tomorrow morning and take the first bus to the provincial capital to sell plums." ”

Bai Mengdie reminded him: "When you go to the vegetable market, you can only sell it by the pound, you can't sell it in bags at a high price, grandpa remember to bring the scale." ”

"Grandpa remembered." The old man smiled and said: "Even if you sell it in the vegetable market in the city, the price is much higher than if you go to the county seat." ”

The old lady glanced at Bai Mengdie suspiciously: "Why do you know the situation in the city clearly?" ”

Bai Mengdie said calmly: "What's so strange about this, I go to live with my dad in the city every winter and summer vacation, and I will definitely know something about the city." ”

Only then did the old lady solve the doubts in her heart.

Just a few words, Bai Mengdie has already made more than a hundred buns.

When the old lady saw her, she praised her ability, and she compared her bun with Bai Mengdie's bun: "Fluttershy's bun is so good-looking, I can't even get it." ”

Bai Mengdie demonstrated to the old lady: "Grandma, the folds of the bun should be twisted in one direction, and it should be dense, and the bun will look as good as mine." ”

The old lady tried two, but it was still far from Bai Mengdie's.

She looked at the steamed buns on a board, stood up and said, "I'd better go steam the steamed buns." ”

Although people in Hubei Province do not love to eat noodles as much as northerners, people in this province love to steam steamed vegetables during the New Year's holidays, so every household has a steamer.

In order to steam the steamed buns, the old lady borrowed a lot of steamers.

She put more than a hundred buns in a steamer basket and sent them to the kitchen to steam.

After a while, the steamer was in the air, and the old lady stuffed a few sticks of firewood into the stove, and then came to the hall and said to the old man: "On Friday night, Uncle Niu specially drove a tractor to chase the second child and Lei Lei back, we have to pay back this favor, you will come back from selling plums from the provincial capital tomorrow, and buy something to give to others in the town." ”

"I've thought of this a long time ago." The old man moved his hand and another pot of noodles: "When I was buying meat just now, I bought two packets of brown sugar by the way, and I was going to give them to the child Uncle Niu." ”

The old lady was stunned for a moment: "Two packets of brown sugar...... Isn't it a bit out of reach? Returning favors would rather be more important. ”

The old man said blankly: "Then what else to buy?" ”

Bai Mengdie put the pinched buns on the board and lined up: "I'll use fragrant dried braised pork belly later, send a small plate to Uncle Niu's house, and add two packets of brown sugar to make it cold." ”

Tonight she wants to make spicy crayfish to taste the whole family, she originally wanted to give Uncle Niu's family a plate of spicy crayfish, but thinking that in this era, rural people look down on eating crayfish, so she dispelled this idea.

Gift-giving is a science, to give the other party satisfied and happy, if the gift is not liked by others is in vain, and sometimes it will backfire, making people feel that you are slamming and cunning, with something that can't be used to send him, there is no sincerity at all.

Both the old man and the old lady agreed.

Since Bai Mengdie made a meal of dumplings and ate them to the whole family, they are very confident in her cooking skills, and they are not afraid that the dishes she cooks will be unpalatable.

Now that the weather is hot, steaming a batch of steamed buns for more than 20 minutes will be fine.

After the first batch of steamed buns, the old lady took three buns and let everyone taste one to see how it tasted.

Bai Mengdie and the old man all stopped what they were doing, took the steaming steamed buns and tasted them.

The skin of the buns is loose, soft and white, the stuffing of the buns is fragrant and delicious, and the buns sold outside are not as delicious as the buns of Bai Mengdie!

The three grandparents were all satisfied.

The old man praised Bai Mengdie for his strength and good stuffing.

With the help of the old man, Bai Mengdie only used to wrap buns, she was very fast, and she had packed all the hundreds of buns in less than an hour.

After wrapping the buns, Bai Mengdie stood up, patted the flour on her body, and prepared to go to the kitchen to make dinner.

The old lady thought for a moment and said, "Fluttershy, you can cook more dishes for this meal tonight, so that your third aunt and your family can eat for nothing."

lest your three uncles and three aunts make trouble in front of the guests, they don't want to be ashamed, and we still have face! ”

Bai Mengdie responded well, thinking to herself, there are more locusts in the three rooms, and the small fish and crayfish at home are definitely not enough, so you have to catch some more.

But the old man and the old lady didn't allow her to go to the wild pond to fish and catch shrimp alone, and Bai Mengdie couldn't convince the two of them.

At this time, Shi Lei came back from school make-up classes, and Bai Mengdie hurriedly ran to him: "Brother, can you accompany me to fish and catch shrimp?" ”

Shi Lei wanted to put down his schoolbag and go to work in the fields.

Their big house is now a family with their grandparents, Bai Aiguo and Bai Mengdie have no land in the urban hukou, but the remaining four people all have fields, and the main labor is only Tian Chunfang.

Shi Lei felt sorry for Tian Chunfang, so he wanted to do his best to help her do more work, but after listening to Bai Mengdie's request, he hesitated.
