Chapter 283: A New Livelihood
"Zhen'er, what are you going to do with this wooden cart, stove, and iron pot?" In front of the second house, Xing looked at the things in front of him and asked puzzled.
Ye Hao looked at the things she pulled back from the town this morning, and said, "Mother, haven't you been shouting that you have nothing to do lately?" I've come up with another way to make money, so let's try it later! ”
"What's the idea?" Xing's eyes lit up suddenly.
Although there is no shortage of money in the family now, the two sons have to study, and the family eats well every day, which is not a lot of money.
In addition, it will not be long before this day will be warmer, and she will be able to build a house, and then it will be a lot of expenses, and as long as she thinks of this, she panics.
"Sister, is it eating? What's delicious you've come up with again? Ye Xing next to her swallowed her saliva and asked expectantly.
Ye Hao smiled and nodded her sister's forehead: "In your heart, can your sister only come up with ways related to eating?" ”
"Uh-huh." Unexpectedly, Ye Xing heard this, and nodded directly.
"Sister, isn't it? From the beginning of chrysanthemum cake, chrysanthemum tea, wine, and then to sugar gourd, peach wine, aren't they all food? ”
Ye Hao fell into deep thought, and said this..... Seems really?
"Sister, what are you going to eat this time?" Seeing that her sister didn't speak, Ye Xing asked again.
Ye Hao came back to her senses and said with a smile: "You'll know later." ”
I moved the stove and iron pot into the house with my mother, turned around and started to get busy.
Xing Shi watched from the side for a while, anxious, reached out and pulled his daughter aside, rolled up his cuffs and said, "Zhen'er, what to do, you say, my mother will get it." ”
Ye Hao smiled helplessly, let's go, compared with her mother, who has been busy in front of the stove for many years, her movements and speed are not neat and capable.
"Mother, you mix noodles first, use white noodles and chestnut rice noodles, and the amount of each is ....."
Ye Hao dictated, her mother made it, and after the noodles were saved, they were quickly divided into small doses one by one.
"Is that all there is to it?" Xing asked suspiciously.
If that's it, it doesn't seem to be any different from her previous pancakes?
"No, mother, you can roll this small dough into a long strip shape, smear some oil on it, fold the cake in half, roll it up from one side, roll it into a small dough, and then flatten the dough ......."
A quarter of an hour later, Ye Xing quickly ate the cake in her hand, and said with praise: "Sister, this egg cake is so delicious and fragrant!" ”
"Isn't it delicious, it's all made of precious things!" Xing muttered.
looked at the egg cake on the plate, and there was a hint of distress in his eyes: "How much does this cake have to sell for so that it doesn't lose money?" ”
"The meat buns in the town cost a penny, but if we sell this egg cake for a penny, we won't even be able to collect the book, but this will cost two pennies....."
Ye Hao groaned when she heard this, this egg cake is different from the sugar gourd, it is a snack, and most of the people who buy it are women and children.
And this is a food that can withstand hunger and fullness, and the main force to buy should be adults, not limited to men and women.
She quickly calculated an account in her heart, if she collected a large number of eggs, one would be about half a penny, white flour and chestnut rice noodles, a small amount of soybean oil, salt, bean sprouts, and sauce, all added together, about equal to a penny.
If you add the firewood money spent, that is, the cost of an egg cake, it is about equal to 1.5 cents.
It's really not very good to price, if you set Sanwen, it is estimated that there will not be too many people to buy, and the method of egg cakes, although there is a difference between them and pancakes, is not too novel.
It's not comparable to the previous sugar gourd.
"Mother, let's set two pieces and one!" This is to make hard money, for Ye Hao, it is just a transition, saving A-Niang from whispering in her ear every day that there is nothing to do.
When their new house is built and the space is spacious, she will have to make a big move.
"Mother, tomorrow is a big set, let's prepare today, and sell this early tomorrow morning!" Ye Hao proposed.
Xing nodded: "It's okay, let's try it tomorrow, if we can't sell it, we won't sell it, why can't we lose money." ”
...........
Early the next morning, because they were going to the town to sell things, the Xing family got up from the kang early.
After breakfast, Jiro and Saburo went to the school with egg cakes wrapped in oiled paper, books and other things.
As for Ye Hao and the others, they pushed the wooden cart one step earlier and came to the town.
There was a big stone at the entrance of the town, just suitable for them to set up a stall, Ye Hao parked the wooden cart next to it, and worked with her mother to move the stove to the big stone.
Quickly get ready, open your mouth and shout: "Sell omelets, crispy and delicious omelets, eat hungry omelets~!" ”
There were already a lot of people in the town at this time, and after hearing the last sentence, a man couldn't help but step forward and ask: "You have more money for this cake?" ”
"Two pennies a piece! This cake is made of white flour and has eggs in it, so it tastes delicious! Ye Hao replied with a smile.
Unexpectedly, when the man heard this, he couldn't help shaking his head: "It's too expensive, it's too expensive, this steamed bun is only three dollars a penny, and I'm hungry after eating it!" ”
With that, the man turned and left.
Ye Xing, who was next to her, tugged at her sister's sleeve and said worriedly: "Sister, can't we sell this cake?" ”
Ye Hao smiled: "This is just the beginning, mother, are you hungry?" As.... Let's make an egg cake to eat first? ”
In the morning, after Xing finished cooking and preparing the things to be brought to the town, it was not early, and the three of them, that is, they hurriedly ate a bite of food and went out, and she felt a little hungry in her stomach.
"It's fine." Xing touched his stomach and nodded in response.
After saying this, she immediately got up to work quickly, lit the stove, rolled out the dough prepared in advance, lightly brushed a layer of oil in the pan with a brush, and then put the round cake in it and fried it.
When it was almost fried, Xing took out an egg.
"Click" cracks, cracks the egg into the cake, and when it is almost ready, smear a little sauce on the cake, then put bean sprouts, roll it, and a piece of egg cake is made.
"Here, Zhen'er will eat first." She wrapped the cake in leaves and handed it to her daughter.
This leaf is a family in the village, with a unique craft to do in advance to preserve, easy to use and not expensive, at least much cheaper than oil paper.
Ye Hao took the egg cake, saw the blinking eyes of her sister beside her, and smiled: "Here, Xing'er will eat first." ”
"Sister, you're the best!" Ye Xing took the cake and ate it fragrantly.
And the Xing family here began to make the second cake.
When I made the first cake, the fragrance was not so conspicuous, but when I made the second cake, the smell of the cake, eggs, and fat had already spread around....
