53. Ready
Wang's and Liu's really didn't expect their brother-in-law (second sister-in-law) to be so stupid.
Originally, she thought that her mother's beating of them at dawn, her brother-in-law should be able to detect something?
I really didn't expect that they forgot everything in less than an hour, which really made them speechless and wanted to have the urge to roll their eyes.
From the careful caress of her daughter on her back, Wei could deeply feel that her daughter was worried about her.
It would be a lie to say that she was not angry, and she originally wanted to return to the key to the warehouse, but she also wanted to give the second daughter-in-law Li a chance to perform.
Unexpectedly, because she pitied Li's difficulty as a woman, so that the connivance of the past two years has caused this daughter-in-law to be complimented by her mother's family and outsiders, and she has no original intelligence and spirituality.
It is impossible to say that there is no regret, and the reason why I did this is that I hope that today's events can make Li reflect well.
"Mother is fine." Wei gave his daughter a soft chuckle, patted her daughter's arm, and then turned to the other two daughters-in-law and said:
"Okay, you two don't pestle here, Yuqian should be almost cold, let's start preparing now."
The two daughters-in-law did not anger them when they heard their mother's explanation, and quickly replied with a smile on their faces: "Yes, mother, we will start preparing now." ”
"Let's go, let's go to the barn and get white noodles first." Wei took the key in his hand and motioned for his two daughters-in-law to follow.
Took out nearly ten catties of white flour from the warehouse, Wei's estimated that it was almost the same, these baskets of elm money added up to a few dozen catties, these ten catties of white flour should be enough, as for the rest, it was directly put in the kitchen.
After a lot of hard work, all the dozens of catties of elm money were stirred with white flour, and the rest was put into the steamer to start steaming.
As a child, Xiao Qi also wanted to help, but was resolutely rejected by her mother, saying that she had never done it, don't waste these things when she goes back, and can help light the fire later.
Although the pot steamer at home is very large, it took so much elm money to steam six pots to complete, and it took three large pots to finish.
The freshly steamed elm money is very hot, and after drying for a while, the mother and sister-in-law use chopsticks to stir them apart, and there is no whole piece tangled together.
During this period, Xiao Qi finally got busy, busy peeling garlic, so much steamed elm money needs a lot of garlic.
Although Xiao Qi has a lot of strength, it is not enough to peel garlic, and her mother and sister-in-law have already broken up the elm money, so she can only peel a few heads of garlic.
In the end, it was the mother and sister-in-law who helped to peel the garlic they needed.
Next, Xiao Qi volunteered to chop the garlic into minced pieces on the case, he was completely capable of this job, who told her to have the strength.
Slapped all the garlic loose one by one, and then picked up the kitchen knife and began to chop it, and after a while, the pile of garlic was chopped into foam by Xiao Qi.
You must know that Xiao Qi is so old, and he has never held a knife in front of his mother and sister-in-law, but he looks calm with a knife, and even shows a very kind expression on his face to the knife in his hand.
There is also the knife flower that she inadvertently played to make the knife rotate 360 degrees, which made the mother and sister-in-law stunned and frightened at the same time.
This girl must not let her touch the knife again in the future, this is too bold, she will play with the knife, and she is not afraid of hurting herself.
Then it was time to start seasoning, but before seasoning, Xiao Qi gave her mother an opinion, thinking that these three pots of steamed elm money should be left in one pot without adding garlic, after all, the taste of garlic is not what everyone likes.
When the mother and sister-in-law heard this, this was indeed the case, so they happily adopted Xiao Qi's advice and left a pot without adding garlic.
A few pots of steamed vegetables are seasoned quickly, and finally poured with sesame oil and you're done.
When the mothers came back from the back mountain, it was already the hour, and now they are about to get close to the time, and it seems that they have to go to the town quickly, otherwise there will not be too many people in the town when the time has passed.
With such a large pot of steamed vegetables, everyone agreed to go in an ox cart, and then they discussed how to sell it before they went.
Xiao Qi's proposal is two cents a bowl, after all, this is made of white noodles, and the thick noodles in the town cost nearly five cents a catty, and the fine white noodles they use are the best, so they have to ask for nine cents a catty, a total of about eight catties of white noodles, and some spices What kind of oil is garlic? The total cost alone is nearly 100 wen.
In this way, one pot of steamed vegetables can almost recover the cost, and the remaining two pots are net profits.
Although this town cannot be compared with the county, in addition to the aborigines of the town itself, there are more than 20 villages around the town, and there are still a lot of people in ordinary times.
Buying a bowl of two cents looks a little expensive, but don't forget that the ingredients for this steamed dish are all good, in fact, two cents is rare, and people in the town can still afford it.
In the end, after Xiao Qi said this, Wei's Wang and Liu's all thought that Xiao Qi's words were reasonable, so they unanimously decided to do what Xiao Qi said.
As for the ox cart, Wei will not be able to drive, but fortunately, Wang has learned, when the farm is busy, the men in the family are busy collecting grain in the field, and the recovered grain needs to be sent to the house, so Wang slowly learned to drive the ox cart, so that he can also empty a strong laborer.
When Wang put the ox cart and rushed to the kitchen door, Xiao Qisan easily brought three plates of steamed vegetables to the ox cart, covered them with a few pieces of cloth, and did not forget to take a few large bowls and a few pairs of chopsticks from the kitchen.
Before leaving, it was unanimously decided to let the Liu family stay, the family must keep people, and the Liu family's children are still too young to leave her for too long.
In this way, the sister-in-law drove the ox cart to take Xiao Qi and her mother-in-law to the town.
On the way, Xiao Qi, who was nestled in his mother's arms, suddenly thought of an important question, that is, if the steamed vegetables can be sold, then they don't have a container for the steamed vegetables?
Usually people who go to the town to catch the market will have nothing to do with a bowl or other container.
Xiao Qi thought about it and hurriedly threw this problem to her mother, she felt that her mother must have a solution, after all, her mother is the aboriginal here, and her mother should know everything here very well.
Wei listened to his daughter's question, looked at this worried little face, and couldn't help laughing, this child has understood more since he read with Xianggong, and he loves to worry about it from time to time.
However, what the daughter said was indeed a problem, and Wei thought of a solution after a little thought.
There were grocery stores in the town that sold oiled paper, and when they came back to the town, they bought some oiled paper, but in this way, the cost would increase.
Let's try it in the town first, if the steamed vegetables are more popular, go buy some oil paper, but it will cost a few dozen more yuan.
Lowering his head and seeing that his daughter was still looking at her, Wei smiled lightly, "Little housekeeper, you don't have to worry, my mother has already figured out a way, but you have to wait first to see if our business is good?" Think again about whether you want to prepare. ”
"I know that my mother has a way, what kind of solution have you thought of?" Xiao Qi still looked at his mother very curiously, and said softly.
"Actually, there is no way to do it, just go to the town and buy some oiled paper if you need it.
Xiaoqi, have you forgotten? The pastries you bought in the pastry shop are not all wrapped in oiled paper, which is not afraid of water, is not afraid of being soaked in oil, and is very strong. ”
