Chapter 374 Persuasion
Shi Lei sat next to Tian Chunfang and learned from her to wear vegetable skewers.
Tian Chunfang glanced at his son and asked, "How did you do in the exam?" ”
Since the end of the college entrance examination, Shi Lei has heard this sentence the most.
But he was not impatient at all, and replied: "If you play normally, there should be no problem in being admitted to the three universities." ”
"That's good." Tian Chunfang put her mind at ease.
Bai Mengdie marinated the meat pieces and placed them on the bench in the aisle, where it was cooler to have a good wind.
"Brother, if you are admitted to three books, I suggest that you don't read them, repeat them for another year, and take at least two books."
She didn't say this on a whim, but after thinking about it for a long time.
In the original book, Shi Lei's later life development was somewhat limited because of the three books he read.
Since he saved the original owner in the book and treated her well, she wants to make his life better.
Studying in a good university will definitely help him in his life.
Bai Aiguo heard it on the balcony and said solemnly, "Fluttershy, don't come up with bad ideas, it's not easy to get into three books, why don't you read it?" ”
Bai Mengdie went into the kitchen to make cold edamame: "Dad, you don't have a far-sighted view of this, and now the university is expanding its enrollment."
Once the enrollment is expanded, college students will not be as expensive as before, and the three university degrees are too poor, and the employment will not be competitive in the future, so at least two books will have to be studied. ”
Bai Aiguo was silent, and his daughter's words seemed to be very reasonable.
Tian Chunfang said: "Let's discuss these before the scores come out, and let's talk about them when the scores come out." ”
Then ask Bai Mengdie how she did in the final exam.
Bai Mengdie said that she took the first place in the whole grade and got a scholarship of 300 yuan.
Bai Aiguo and his wife couldn't come back to their senses for a long time in shock, and when they came back to their senses, they were all very happy, and praised Bai Mengdie fiercely.
Bai Mengdie's face was flushed with praise, and she told Tian Chunfang and his wife that her grandparents gave fifty catties of glutinous rice, fifty catties of stemmed rice, and a lot of soybean paste and a jar of pickled cabbage, and they could sell porridge and rice wine tomorrow.
As soon as Tian Chunfang heard this, she threw down the work in her hand and asked Shi Lei to dress all the remaining vegetables into skewers by herself, and she went home to make rice wine.
To make rice wine, the glutinous rice must be steamed and cooled before the second step can be carried out, so after cooking the glutinous rice, Tian Chunfang returned to the rental house to continue working.
After Bai Mengdie made the cold edamame and cooked the fennel beans, Tian Chunfang estimated that the glutinous rice was almost cold, and then went home and continued to make rice wine.
Bai Mengdie shredded Tian Chunfang's soaked and washed kelp, ready to make cold and sour and hot kelp.
She ordered the kind of high-quality dried kelp in the dry goods wholesale market, which is very thick after soaking, dark brownish-green in color, and makes people salivate when made into cold dishes.
When Bai Mengdie was busy, Shi Lei, who was sitting in the big room, always glanced at the kitchen door from time to time, and he was surprised that the waste wood sister who used to be in the eyes of him and many people was so capable.
Bai Mengdie made a large pot full of cold and hot and sour kelp, Tian Chunfang also made rice wine and came back, and Bai Mengdie instructed her to make spicy crayfish.
Shi Lei had already dressed all the vegetables on skewers, leaning against the kitchen door and watching her mother and daughter teach and learn one by one.
His gaze often stayed on Bai Mengdie's body, and the girl who had lost a lot of weight gradually showed her stunning color.
It's not early, Bai Mengdie instructed Tian Chunfang to make only two pots of spicy crayfish, and it was already five o'clock.
Shi Lei smelled the spicy crayfish monster, took two and ate them.
Bai Mengdie ran home, carrying edamame tofu and some sharp chili peppers, sweating profusely, and began to cook dinner.
The pumpkin has already been cut in part yesterday, so you can only continue to eat it, otherwise it will spoil after a few more days.
White Dream Butterfly boils the pumpkin first.
Tian Chunfang said to Bai Aiguo, "We don't have enough gas stoves at home, so you can buy another gas stove tomorrow and put it at home so that Fluttershy can cook and save yourself from running around and dying of heat." ”
"Okay." Bai Aiguo nodded, "I'll go buy two sets of gas stoves tomorrow and come back, don't you also want to sell early?" Then you'll need a gas stove as well. ”
Tian Chunfang is afraid of spending more money: "How much does a set of gas stoves cost?" ”
Bai Aiguo said: "It's not expensive, a set is not more than 100 yuan." ”
Tian Chunfang was relieved, she thought that the gas stove was so expensive.
Tian Chunfang smiled and said, "I think when your factory gave you a gas stove for the first time, you were almost excited.
He came back and told me that he had to buy gas according to the plan, and that he was not even qualified to use gas without a workplace.
Now, you don't have to plan anything, as long as you have money, you can buy it. ”
Bai Aiguo was also full of emotion: "Yes, the life of our people is getting better and better, and the country feels richer and stronger!" ”
Bai Mengdie boiled the pumpkin, put it in the soup pot, washed the pot, and made tiger skin peppers, and suddenly the spicy aroma of chili peppers filled the room, choking people and coughing.
Bai Aiguo couldn't stand it, ran out, and met a neighbor who went downstairs, who was also choked by the spicy smell of chili peppers wafting from his house.
The neighbor choked on tears and snot, and was still praising his chili peppers for their fragrance.
After the tiger skin pepper is burned, the most solemn dish is about to appear, that is, the fried edamame tofu that Bai Mengdie has been looking forward to for a long time.
Deep-fried edamame tofu is said to be a famous snack in Huizhou, and the method is very simple.
Cut each piece of edamame tofu into small pieces, put the pot on the hot fire, add peanut oil and cook until it is 70% hot, put the cut edamame tofu into the pan and fry until it turns yellow on both sides.
When the skin of edamame tofu is wrinkled, add minced green onion, minced ginger, dried chili peppers, monosodium glutamate, sugar, refined salt, and soy sauce to stew for two minutes, turn it over a few times, and put it on a plate.
When Bai Mengdie was cutting edamame tofu, she found that there was still a slight difference between the edified tofu in Hubei Province and the edamame tofu in Huizhou.
The edamame tofu in Huizhou is made by fermenting tofu, while the edamame tofu in Hubei Province is fermented from tofu rolls, which is more interesting in appearance.
Shi Lei and they also love to eat edamame, and when they smell the aroma of edamame, they all have a salivating expression.
Bai Mengdie fried another plate of fried sword bean shreds, loaded a plate of cold and sour and hot seaweed shreds, dinner was ready, and the family of four ate in the rental house.
Bai Mengdie doesn't eat any dishes, only tiger skin peppers and fried edamame tofu.
The tiger skin pepper is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, full of spicy flavor, it is very good for rice, the fried edamame tofu is fragrant and rich, the umami is unique, and the two dishes are all delicious in the world.
Bai Mengdie, who was bent on controlling the amount of food, couldn't control it anymore and ate a big bowl of rice.
Bai Aiguo and his wife are eating the cold and sour and hot kelp shreds made by Bai Mengdie for the first time, and they all say that they are delicious.
Tian Chunfang asked Bai Mengdie to eat some kelp, and eat some kelp on a hot day to clear the fire.
I also praised Bai Mengdie's kelp for buying well, so that the next time she goes to the dry goods wholesale market, she will come back in more batches and send a few catties of old man to eat.
Bai Mengdie picked up a piece of golden fragrant edamame tofu and put it in her mouth: "Mom, why don't you send a few catties to grandma's house?" ”
"That's it!" Bai Aiguo glanced at Tian Chunfang, "The old man on my side is an old man, and the old man on your side is also an old man, we all have to be filial." ”
Shi Lei looked at Bai Aiguo and then at Bai Mengdie, his eyes were full of smiles.
After eating a sweet and delicious dinner, I cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and the family prepared to go out of the stall.
Bai Aiguo instructed Shi Lei to fill the roasting truck with corn, and also stacked two sacks of corn on the oven and brought them to the stall to roast.
There are two or three hundred of these two sacks of corn, and I will come back to get them when they are sold out.
Bai Mengdie still pushed her breakfast cart, Bai Aiguo and his wife pedaled a tricycle one by one, and the family set off mightily.
Many neighbors greeted Bai Aiguo, laughing and saying that his family's business was getting bigger and bigger, and they had called their sons to help.
Although Shi Lei doesn't talk much, he still has the politeness he should have, and he knows how to greet his neighbors when he sees them, which just makes people feel a little cold. Bai Mengdie muttered on the road, saying that her family only needed one barbecue car, and I don't know what Bai Aiguo thought at that time, so she actually ordered two barbecue cars.
Bai Aiguo explained with a smile: "I didn't want your mother and your brother to sell roasted corn, but your mother couldn't be busy just barbecuing~"
When they arrived at their stall, Bai Mengdie's family immediately threw themselves into business.
Shi Lei quickly adapted, and when the corn was not baked, he gave Bai Aiguo and his wife a hand, ran to the hall, and when the corn was ripe, he sold the corn.
Chen Ziqian appeared at about seven o'clock, and Shi Lei was in a bad mood when he saw him, but people were here to help, and he couldn't drive people away.
Chen Ziqian came with a large plastic bag in his hand, he walked to Bai Mengdie's side and opened the big plastic bag: "Fluttershy, what do you see I brought you?" ”
Bai Mengdie glanced at it: "Durian? How did you come up with the idea of sending me durian? ”
Chen Ziqian was very satisfied with Bai Mengdie's reaction, and grinned: "Isn't it unexpected? Unhappy?
I saw that you like to eat stinky edamame tofu, and I guess you must also like to eat stinky durian, so I sent you a few. ”
Durian was very expensive to sell in the later generations of Bai Mengdie, not to mention that few supermarkets sold it in this era, and fruit stalls did not sell it, so the value of durian was even higher.
However, she doesn't like to eat durian at all, but she can't bear to spoil Chen Ziqian's interest.
People are so hearted, they specially bought durian for her to eat, she always had to pretend, so she was overjoyed and said: "Accident, accident, accident, happy, happy!" ”
Chen Ziqian was even happier, put the bag of durian on her family's tricycle and started to make a cameo appearance.
Because yesterday Bai Mengdie promised the proprietress of many food stalls that she would call Master Qi to discuss with them about making a barbecue car today, Bai Aiguo specially went to inform Master Qi this morning, and Master Qi came at about eight o'clock.
Bai Aiguo asked him to eat some snacks and drink two bottles of beer anyway before he got down to business.
Master Qi was so gracious that he had to sit down and eat some snacks, and Bai Aiguo introduced his family to the food stalls, of course, except for the mother and daughter of the Xiong family next door.
At nine o'clock, after Chen Ziqian went home, Master Qi also negotiated with those food stalls.
deliberately ran over and happily told Bai Aiguo that he had contracted labor and materials for 350 yuan per baking car, and thanked Bai Aiguo for giving him such a good opportunity to make money.
Bai Aiguo didn't take credit at all: "That's because you have the technology of electric welding, and without this technology, I can't match you to make this money." ”
Master Qi thanked him with a thousand thanks, and when he was about to leave, Boss Xiong stopped him and asked him to make a barbecue car for himself too.
Master Qi is a clever person, and seeing that Bai Aiguo introduced him to any food stall just now, but not to the Xiong family, he understood that there was probably a conflict between the two of them.
Therefore, I deliberately asked for a sky-high price, and I would give her 500 yuan a car, and there was no need to talk about it if it was lower than this price.
Boss Xiong was angry like thunder, pointed at Master Qi's nose and said, "Don't think I don't know what price you give them, it's all 350 yuan a car, why give me 500 yuan a car!" ”
When Master Qi was talking about the price with those peers just now, Boss Xiong deliberately pretended to pass by on the toilet, so she overheard the price.
Master Qi snorted coldly: "I'm happy to sell you 500 yuan, what's wrong?" You don't have to buy it if it's too expensive, and I didn't force you to buy it! "Say goodbye and leave.
The bear lady almost blew up.
The hundreds of royal rice that Shi Lei brought were sold out, and he went home to get another trip, and there were only about 300 corns left at home, and they would be gone after selling them for a day tomorrow.
The family still sold until eleven o'clock, and the stall was closed when all the food was sold.
Bai Aiguo and his family packed up their things and left first.
In the past, the family of three walked together every night.
Now that Bai Mengdie has Shi Lei to accompany her home, Bai Aiguo and his wife can go first on the tricycle.
If you go home early, Tian Chunfang will be able to marinate the braised eggs earlier, Bai Aiguo can also boil the bath water first, and Bai Mengdie can take a bath when she comes back, and she can go to bed early.
Bai Mengdie and Shi Lei pushed a car and followed each other on the sparsely populated midnight street.
Shi Lei suddenly stopped her, and Bai Mengdie stopped and saw him take out a steaming and fragrant corn from the roasting car.
She took it happily, peeled off the corn and nibbled it in her hand, pushing the breakfast cart forward with one hand.
Bai Mengdie swallowed a mouthful of corn before she could ask, "Specially left it for me?" ”
"Uh-huh." Shi Lei said, "I know you're losing weight, but corn is a coarse grain, and it won't gain weight even if it's used for supper at night." ”
Bai Mengdie happily nibbled on roasted corn, thinking to herself, it would be good to have an older brother. My brother is a gift from heaven to my sister.
The brother and sister walked a distance, and Shi Lei asked hesitantly, "...... Does that Chen Ziqian often come to you? ”
Bai Mengdie shook his head: "He doesn't come to me often, he just often comes to our house to help sell food stalls." ”
Shi Lei didn't say anything, slandering in his heart, doesn't he often come to you, isn't it because of you, will he come to our house to help?
When she returned home, Bai Aiguo was making a face, and when she saw Bai Mengdie, she asked her to take a bath and go to sleep.
Shi Lei saw that Bai Mengdie, who had always washed a large pot of hot water, could only wash a pot of boiling water now, and thought to herself, she must feel awkward.
I had the heart to boil her another pot of water, but when I thought of using gas, I didn't dare to make an assertion.
