Jiang Zhilian retracted her gaze from the crowd of people, turned her head to look over, and found that the person who spoke was the young lady who sold fritters nearby.

They don't usually communicate much, and they are busy in the morning, but they will say hello when they meet occasionally.

Nod, or smile, and be polite to each other.

The young lady's name is Hu Tao and she has a two-year-old daughter.

I heard that she is a single mother, and the man is unknown.

Jiang Zhilian has eaten her fried fritters, and to be honest, they are not very delicious.

So the business has been tepid, and the money earned can barely survive.

The fritters are all freshly fried and sold, but it was raining at this time, and her stall did not have a shed, so it couldn't be fried.

Anyway, there weren't many customers, so she closed the stall early and went to shelter under the tree from the rain.

When she had nothing to do, she saw that Jiang Zhilian had moved the stall to the car, so she came over and asked for a bowl of hot tofu.

Eat something hot to warm up and pass the time with a small talk.

"Don't get drenched outside, come up and eat!" Jiang Zhilian leaned over and stretched out her hand to the woman under the car.

Hu Tao hesitated for two seconds, took Jiang Zhilian's hand, raised his leg and kicked onto the car, and sat on a small pony in the corner.

Jiang Zhilian filled the hot tofu, adjusted the taste, handed it over, and said politely: "This rain is endless, and I don't know when it will stop!" ”

Hu Tao held the bowl and said gently: "Spring rain is as expensive as oil, it's good to have more." ”

Jiang Zhilian nodded and smiled faintly, "That's right." ”

Hu Tao took a bite of hot tofu, tasted it slowly for a while, and laughed at himself: "If it doesn't rain, my business will be like that." But the impact on you should be quite big, and you will make a lot less money a day. ”

Jiang Zhilian waved her hand absently, "The crops and vegetables in the field grow well, so I can set up this stall." I have no food or vegetables, and I don't have to sell it, it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice! In the long run, nothing is lost. Moreover, God's will is not at my disposal. Let's go with his old man, I'll take a look at the scenery here and rest for a while, it's good to be lazy. ”

Hu Tao lowered his head and ate in small bites, suddenly remembered something, looked up at Jiang Zhilian, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Your tempeh fish sauce sells well, everyone likes it, why don't you continue to sell it?" ”

"If you don't want to kill, you won't make fish sauce." Jiang Zhilian didn't expect to tell the truth to this unfamiliar woman, and she was also a little surprised.

"That's a pity. Recently, many people have come to ask if there is any tempeh fish sauce, and your aunt said that she would not do it in the future, and I think they are quite disappointed. ”

Hu Tao said slowly while eating: "If you don't kill, then you can not release fish." Tempeh sauce, bean paste, and spicy sauce should all be good. Wouldn't it be nice to put some shiitake mushrooms or something in it? If you make other sauces to sell, they will definitely pay for them. ”

Jiang Zhilian suddenly had a flash of inspiration and had a particularly good idea.

This young lady is not good at craftsmanship, but her taste is not bad, and her ideas are also very good!

In gratitude for the inspiration she provided, Jiang Zhilian insisted on sending her home.

Hu Tao was so gracious that he had to take a ride.

After returning home, Jiang Zhilian quickly changed her slippers in the hallway, and while taking off her scarf and coat and walking into the house, she couldn't wait to shout: "Auntie, sister-in-law, you all come here, I have something important to discuss with you!" ”

Chen Shufen was sorting out the account books in her bedroom, and when she heard Jiang Zhilian's words, she thought something big had happened, so she hurriedly ran to call Wu Tao, who was sifting soybeans in the plastic shed, back.

After a while, the two sat side by side on the sofa, looking at Jiang Zhilian in unison, like two obedient children.

Chen Shufen asked nervously, "Lianwa, what's wrong?" Is something wrong? ”

Wu Tao patted his daughter-in-law's thigh to calm her down, and said to Jiang Zhilian: "No matter what happens, don't worry about it first, there will always be a way." ”

Jiang Zhilian was too anxious when she came back, she rode the three-wheeled motorcycle very fiercely, and ran for a while, and she still hasn't breathed evenly.

She waved her hand, smiled, and breathed steadily, "Don't be nervous, it's a good thing!" ”

Both of them sighed slightly.

Chen Shufen poured a glass of water and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Look at what you are doing, it scares us." Hurry up and drink some water first, look at you panting! ”

Wu Tao was wearing an apron and holding a handful of soybeans in his hand that he didn't have time to put down.

He smiled and said, "What a good thing, I'm happy to be like this." ”

Jiang Zhilian took a sip of the water in the cup, dragged a wooden stool and sat opposite them, with a shining light in her eyes, "Auntie, a few days ago you said that you wanted to learn to make bean paste with me, right?" ”

"yes." Chen Shufen nodded and said: "The bean paste you made for Old Man Tang, your brother-in-law and I both think it tastes very good, it is particularly appetizing, and it is very delicious when dipped in cucumbers and steamed buns." When you open a restaurant, you will definitely be too busy to have time, so we think that when we get home, we will cook our own food. I saw you do it before, it doesn't seem too complicated, it should be quite easy to learn. ”

"That's right! It's much easier than making tempeh fish sauce, and you're sure you'll learn it right away! Jiang Zhilian looked unusually excited.

Wu Tao and Chen Shufen didn't quite understand why she was so excited, but they also felt some kind of inexplicable encouragement.

"When the house is built and moved back, do you have any plans?" Jiang Zhilian temporarily suppressed her vigorous emotions and asked in a softened tone.

Chen Shufen glanced at Wu Tao, "I haven't thought about it yet, let's go back and see the situation." ”

Wu Tao pondered for a moment before slowly opening his mouth, "I'm much better now, and I plan to pick up some random work after I go back." Find another master to learn some crafts, and you will make more money in the future. ”

"How unstable it is! It's too hard to come and go in the wind and rain! Learning a craft is not something that can be learned in a year and a half. ”

When the words fell, Jiang Zhilian realized that she seemed to be saying a little too politely.

After all, the people sitting opposite are all elders, and they still have to be careful when speaking.

She coughed lightly twice, and seeing that her aunt and her husband did not look unhappy, she went straight to the point and said her thoughts.

"Let's build a sauce factory!"

Chen Shufen: "Sauce factory? What sauce factory? ”

"Douban Sauce Factory!" Jiang Zhilian smiled slightly, "Don't you all think it's delicious, people often go to the stall to ask if they sell tempeh fish sauce, which means that there are many people who like to eat sauce and there is a big demand." The bean paste I make is no worse than tempeh fish sauce. This way is feasible and will definitely sell well. ”

Seeing that the two of them didn't respond, she added: "When I opened a small restaurant when I turned around, I definitely need a lot of bean paste." If we have our own sauce factory, we can buy from our own factory, and the fertilizer and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders, what a good thing! ”

Wu Tao pondered for a long time, his expression was not very clear, "The investment in building the factory is too large, none of us have done it, and we don't understand the famous hall here." This is not the same thing as setting up a stall, it is easy to smash the pot and overturn the car. ”

"That's it, it's all the big boss's business, let's just make a little money." Chen Shufen agreed with her husband's opinion, "If you want to sell sauce, you can make it at home." Before, tempeh fish sauce was made in the yard, the cost was not high, and the risk was small, so there was no need to build a factory! ”

Jiang Zhilian guessed that they would have a lot of worries, so she was not discouraged, and patiently persuaded: "If you have no experience, you can save experience while doing it, I have the skills to make sauce, and I used to sell tempeh fish sauce and watermelon sauce, and I have opened up sales, so I definitely don't have to worry about not being able to sell it." In other aspects, we can slowly ponder. If you encounter a problem, you can find a way to solve it. ”

Wu Tao has confidence in Jiang Zhilian, but he still doesn't want to be too aggressive, "It's better to get a small workshop first, didn't you build a small second floor this time, there are many rooms, and there is a place for things." Plus the front and back yards, make a small workshop, and it can be used completely. ”

Jiang Zhilian shook her head, "Taking one step at a time is indeed safer and takes less risk." But, sister-in-law, have you thought about it? Now is the best time to contract land, and when the economy develops in the future, there will be more people competing, and it will be too late for us to start again. As the saying goes, it's better to strike first! ”
