Chapter 35 Discussing and setting up a stall
Under the attack of Zhou Tong's mother and daughter, Chen Guihua finally died down and was honest.
After eating, Xu Hui wanted to go back to pack her things, but Zhou Xiaomei grabbed her: "Huihui, your little uncle said that you are very talented in reading, or ...... You will live at your grandmother's house for a while, and when your little uncle returns to Fucheng, you will go home again? ”
"Didn't you come to pick me up?" How can this still be a hexagram?
"Don't you like to read? Your eldest brother can read and write at home, but your little uncle said that your eldest brother can't teach you anymore! Zhou Xiaomei was also reluctant to part with her daughter, but she felt that her brother's words were quite reasonable, and it was not a bad thing for girls to read more books.
Xu Hui found Zhou Botao: "Uncle, when will you return to Fucheng?" ”
"Twenty more days, what's the matter!"
"You leave me some homework, I promise to complete it seriously, and I will come over to hand in my homework in half a month!"
Zhou Botao wanted to test Xu Hui, and she agreed to this proposal after testing, and Xu Hui agreed. Zhou Botao took the test of 20 words and eight poems, and Xu Hui memorized them.
"Here are 300 Tang poems, you go back and memorize one poem every day in order, write two small letters, and I'll wait for the inspection in half a month!" Zhou Botao took some pen and paper, a bookbag, an inkstone and ink.
Zhou Xiaomei refused to accept it, paper and pen are very expensive things, and the ones bought for Xu Jianwen at home are the cheapest kinds, which are a lot worse than what Zhou Botao took out.
"Sister, just let Huihui take it! Her study hard is the biggest reward for me! Zhou Botao will draw some fans to sell in his spare time, or help the bookstore copy books, and the daily expenses basically do not need to be paid at home, and the paper and pen are also bought in this way.
"This is a piece of my uncle's heart, I will repay it when I grow up!"
Zhou Botao nodded: "As a student, you should honor your master!" ”
"There was a person who promised to treat me like his own daughter in the future, right, uncle!" Xu Hui packed up her baggage, opened her arms and hugged her grandmother's family goodbye.
Zhou Botao hugged his niece and told her that she was not allowed to say goodbye to others in this way after the Chinese New Year, especially men!
Xu Hui promised to keep a distance from outsiders as much as possible, waved goodbye to the Zhou family, and got into a cattle cart and set foot on the way home.
When I returned to Shiling Village, I saw Deng Alian standing by the small bridge from a distance, and the old lady waved her hand when she saw her own ox cart.
"Milk, I miss you, come and take the ox cart and let's go home!" It feels so good to see her loved ones, Xu Hui responded to her grandmother with a smile.
"Grandma misses you too! It's good to be back! Deng Alian sat beside her granddaughter and looked at her from head to toe, it seemed that the child had a good life in his grandmother's house, and his face was pink and tender, as if he had gained a little fat.
When I got home and could cook for my family again, when my father and mother got out of the car, Xu Hui entered the kitchen, and the cabbage and spinach at home could be eaten, Xu Hui took out more than a dozen artichokes from the space and put them in the corner of the bowl rack.
"Milk, let's eat spinach soup and fried cabbage in artichoke at night!"
"There are no artichokes to eat at home, so they are all planted in the ground." Now it is much better than the beginning of spring and winter, at least some side dishes to eat, no need to dry wild vegetables every day, salted radish sorghum rice.
"Milk, you see there are still a few artichokes at home!"
Deng Alian walked into the kitchen and was stunned, when did there be more than a dozen potatoes on the shelf, why didn't she know?
"You must have forgotten about it!"
Is it? Deng Alian couldn't remember when she put these potatoes, these potatoes looked very fresh, as if they had just been dug out of the ground.
"These artichokes are right in our house, then don't worry about it, I'll cook the dishes at night, can I cook with milk?"
Where is Deng Alian willing to refuse her granddaughter! She cooked for her granddaughter, made a fire and cut artichokes, Xu Hui stretched her hands after not cooking for a few days, put oil, shallots and ginger to stir-fry, and added condiments to add soup.
The condiments seeped into the soup, put in the churned egg liquid, poured in the spinach, and Xu Hui's fingers shook a drop of soup spring water and fell into the pot.
"The soup made by Huihui smells fragrant, and the condiments you left behind are also added when the milk is cooked, why is it not so fragrant?" Deng Alian wondered.
"Milk, are there mushrooms on the mountain now? When I have dried mushrooms, I will add some freshness condiments to make the dishes and soups more fragrant.
By the way, the work in the field is done, shouldn't we discuss the stall setting! "Xu Hui has been thinking about this!
"Really?" They have always made a living from farming, and they have never done business, and Deng Alian has no bottom in her heart.
"Why can't it, what we do is a small business, we can't invest a few dollars, and what we sell is food that is acceptable to the public, it will definitely work."
"There are several wonton sellers in the market!" Deng Alian is afraid that she will not be able to compete with others if she sells the same food.
"Then let's sell fish soup and flatbread, a few fish can make a pot of soup, and the seasoning is prepared by myself without any capital. We can make mixed noodles for a penny a piece without much oil, and the cost of thirty or forty wen a day is almost enough.
Let's try it, if it doesn't work, there's nothing to lose! "With yourself and the space seasoning, how can it not be!
During the meal, the Xu family got together to discuss the stall, and finally agreed to give it a try, but they unanimously proposed that Xu Hui should not be allowed to go to the market.
"Why?" If you don't make the soup herself, it will be greatly discounted, and Hibiscus said that the soup spring water and clear spring water can only be used for the greatest effect when it passes through her hands. If it is handed over to grandma or mother, I don't know if it will work!
"Huihui, there are everyone in the market, if you catch up with the mess of food, we are afraid that someone will notice you......" If the granddaughter is abducted, how can she live this life, it is better not to do business and honestly farm in Shiling Village!
"I have a way!" Xu Hui ran into the room of the two elder brothers, turned over a set of clothes for the second brother to wear, put a little grass ash under the stove and put it in the palm of his hand, dipped it in his face and ordered some "pockmarks".
Seeing Xu Hui after "dressing up", Deng Alian felt very uncomfortable, blaming the family for being too poor and having no ability, so that her granddaughter would not be remembered by those who cared about her, she could only be wronged to go out dressed as a male baby.
"The day after tomorrow is the day of the market, I will take Xiaolinzi to fish tomorrow afternoon!" Xu Zhiyong stretched out his big hand to wipe the ash off his daughter's face.
"I'll go into the county tomorrow to see if I can buy cheap tables, chairs and chopsticks, it's best to rent some tables and chairs next to the market, we don't have to buy too many things when we start working, or ...... Tomorrow I will borrow some long stools in the neighborhood, and if the business is good, I will buy more dishes, chopsticks, tables and chairs next time! Zhou Xiaomei said her plan.
"My grandmother and I make flatbread at home, preferably dough, so that it doesn't harden the morning after tomorrow." Xu Hui said.
