"You can divide my one-third of it."

Lu Xiaoya and the fat girl looked at each other silently, and the two did not speak.

I can earn a few dollars a day by setting up a stall in Yuncai County, and I have to give one-third to Aunt Zhu, she is really a good calculation.

Aunt Zhu said, "I can collect money for you when I am free." Think about it first, and then answer me tomorrow. ”

At night, Lu Xiaoya talked to the fat girl.

The fat girl's cheeks bulged: "I thought she had changed, who knew that her nature was difficult to change!" It's too dark, she doesn't do anything, she wants to take away so much of our profits, what help to collect money, maybe she wants to hide her own secrets. ”

Since losing the hotel's regular income, Lu Xiaoya often feels insecure.

After being silent for a long time, Lu Xiaoya slowly spoke: "Let's promise her first, it's not a way to be so idle, who let us have no place to live, and when we have time, we will look for a house everywhere." ”

The fat girl sighed and nodded.

The next day, I sent the swallow to the nursery, and after Lu Xiaoya and the fat girl finished making the steamed cake, they went to the stall.

After deducting the cost, there is only about three yuan of profit per day, plus rent and food, almost half of Lu Xiaoya's money falls into Aunt Zhu's hands.

She indirectly became Aunt Zhu's "long-term worker".

If you add in the cost of the Swallow Nursery, she is paying for her old money almost every day, which is a very bad sign.

I asked a few rental houses, but they were not ideal.

……

About four or five days later, the silk factory's communication room received a letter signed by Lu Xiaoya.

The uncle in the communication room said in his heart Lu Xiaoya didn't quit his job and left, he could recognize a few words, and he heard the postman say that it was sent from Haicheng, and it was bulging inside, quite thick, the uncle couldn't help it, and when he opened it, there were a lot of Zhang Da United, and his eyes suddenly showed greed, and he struggled for a while, and was just about to hide the banknote in his pocket, when someone happened to come in.

"Is there any letter from me?"

"Deputy ...... Deputy factory director? ”

"What are you holding in your hand, and what are you nervous about?" Chen Dan squinted his eyes and looked sly.

"No, nothing."

Uncle has followed the rules for most of his life, and it is the first time he has done this kind of thing, and he is nervous, especially in front of this powerful female leader~ director, he obediently handed over the envelope and the great unity.

How do you know that after Chen Dan read the letter, his face changed slightly, gave him the money, and said: "If there is a letter from Lu Xiaoya in the future, you will hand it over to me, no one is allowed to say it, understand?" ”

Uncle Dade was grateful and said: "I understand, thank you Deputy Director Chen." ”

After Chen Dan left, he broke out in a cold sweat for no reason.

Later, the uncle always felt a little sorry for Lu Xiaoya in his heart, the letter was accepted by Chen Dan, and he took the money again, of course, he could only be a bad person.

……

Lu Xiaoya naturally didn't know about the letter Wei Zeyang sent her.

Seeing that the money she had saved was getting less and less, Lu Xiaoya was anxious in her heart, and the fat girl was more anxious than her. Although she is her own aunt, the fat girl's heart is to land Xiaoya. And Aunt Zhu gradually became violent~ and revealed her true nature, and the food for them became worse and worse, and she couldn't pick it out.

The next day, Lu Xiaoya went to the hotel with a shy face, and several cooks and vegetable washers in the restaurant had a good relationship with her, she stayed in the back kitchen for a while, and it was said that the person in charge was losing his temper.

The master who made the cake was invited from the provincial capital at a high price, with a salary of forty or fifty yuan a month, working two or three hours a day, but now the hotel business is very weak, he has to raise his salary, and the hotel owner did not agree, so the person in charge either sticks the money himself, or finds a new dessert chef.

Lu Xiaoya was thoughtful, and directly found the person in charge and said, "Cream cake, I can make it." ”

"You? Will it work? "Questioning face.

"Let me try, if I can't do it, I will bear the cost of wasted materials."

It's not that the person in charge underestimates Lu Xiaoya, there is a big difference between the West Point and the Middle Point.

Lu Xiaoya entered the simple baking room and found that there was an electric oven, a very old-fashioned one with simple functions.

The person in charge said that this imported machine alone cost a lot of money.

She found the ingredients, eggs, milk, molds, glass containers and whisks...... Anyway, the hardware equipment is not complete, there is no butter, and the cream is yellow and hard, and it is kept in the refrigerator.

Most of the ingredients for making cakes were purchased by the pastry chef in the city, and now you can't ask people to buy them. Many people in the kitchen stretched their necks out of curiosity to see how Lu Xiaoya, a young girl, made cakes.

Lu Xiaoya beat more than a dozen eggs in one go, and the egg whites and yolks were separated. She gave the work of beating the egg whites to a young man in the back kitchen, and told them to add sugar to beat it every time, otherwise it would take her hours with her strength.

Then she began to process the egg yolks, added the existing flour and milk strained through a sieve, squeezed a few drops of lemon juice and oil, and began to stir until there were no particles and finished in the form of a yellow soup.

The egg white on the guy's side was almost formed and became creamy, Lu Xiaoya tasted the sweetness, added some sugar to it, beat it himself for a while, then mixed the two sides together and stirred, poured into two molds, brushed with a layer of egg yolk liquid, and put it in the electric oven.

The electric oven is still relatively easy to use, but it seems that the temperature and time cannot be set, and there is only one mode.

While she waited, she took out the cream and beat it as fluffy as possible.

……

After turning on the oven, the cake is a little too much, no way, the hardware conditions are like this, it is already very good, cut off the outer layer, and the fluffiness inside is just right.

She cut it into triangles, stacked them on top of each other, and spread a layer of cream in the middle.

A total of more than a dozen pieces of all the baked cakes were made, and red "fake" cherry blossoms ~ peaches were placed respectively.

The person in charge tasted a piece, gave a thumbs up, and praised it, "It's really good, Comrade Lu Xiaoya, who did you learn from," he asked half-jokingly: "Could it be that we stole the teacher in our back kitchen?" ”

"She leaves every time she comes, how can she steal school?"

"That's talent."

Lu Xiaoya explained that she learned from a relative.

Everyone was a little skeptical, after all, her technique was too skillful, and she didn't look like a beginner at all.

The hotel's restaurant serves basic things such as cream cakes and cupcakes. In the end, the person in charge discussed with the hotel owner and gave her a salary of 40 yuan a month, in addition to making pastries, he also asked her to make some steamed cakes and hair cakes.

"Comrade Lu Xiaoya, I have done my best in terms of salary, after all, your qualifications ...... Can't be compared with the master......" said the person in charge.

Lu Xiaoya hesitated for a moment, then agreed, "Brother Li, I can accept the salary, but I don't sign a contract with you, if I want to leave, I will tell you in advance, okay?" ”

The two sides negotiated the conditions, and the matter was decided.

Lu Xiaoya's working hours are not long, he came over at five or six o'clock in the morning, and went back after making snacks at noon. She doesn't feel wronged, her original gender is weak, and she doesn't have any grade certificates and work experience, so the price is reasonable.

But Lu Xiaoya will not make other flavors of cakes for the hotel, she has her own plan in mind, and the good things are always saved for the end.

"40 bucks? Oh my God, you're amazing! ”

Lu Xiaoya found a new job and told the fat girl that this guy's reaction was exaggerated, "Don't let my aunt know about this, otherwise she will have some kind of idea." ”

Lu Xiaoya smiled: "You should thank your aunt, look, I've lost weight recently." ”

"Really?" The fat girl was happy and worried, "No wonder my pants have been feeling big lately, hey, I'm going to the tailor shop to change my waistline." ”

"Just tie your belt."

"Also, save some money. Xiaoya, why don't you buy clothes all the time, it's cold, and you're always dressed in dust. The fat girl looked at her with a look of hatred for iron and steel, "It's a pity for your face." ”

"I don't really care, I just need to keep warm." Lu Xiaoya now feels that there is no patch on her clothes and pants, and she is uncomfortable.

"No, no, it's going to cool down in the next two days, let's go buy it together tomorrow afternoon."

“…… Good. ”

"Mom, I want to buy new clothes too." The swallow, who was sleeping in a daze, suddenly a carp stiffened, raised his head and said.

Lu Xiaoya and the fat girl were taken aback by the little girl's actions, and the fat girl re-folded the futon for the little girl, and echoed: "Buy, buy, buy, everything has to be close to our swallows!" ”

After speaking, the fat girl and Lu Xiaoya looked at each other and grinned.

In autumn, when the temperature gets cooler day by day, you really need to add thick clothes, otherwise you will have to spend more money if you get sick because of it.

On the afternoon of the second day, Lu Xiaoya came back from work at the hotel, and the fat girl also sold out the cakes early and picked up the swallows from the nursery, and the two met at the door of Aunt Zhu's house.

"Does Sister Zhu live here, there is a letter from you."

A postman with a canvas bag rode over and asked hurriedly.

The fat girl nodded, "I am." ”

"The scope of your address is too large, I have been looking for it for several days, and I almost have to return the letter......"

Finding the owner, the postman let out a long breath.

The fat girl was about to go back to the house to find identification, the postman called her and asked her if there were relatives in Haicheng, and the fat girl reflexively reported Tian Dazhuang's name, and the information was checked, so she gave her the letter directly.

Lu Xiaoya said in her heart, this is too casual, what if someone impersonates the letter.

The fat girl couldn't wait to open the envelope, and she didn't shy away from Lu Xiaoya still beside her, and the girl read it carefully like a spring.

Fortunately, she and Tian Dazhuang are not cultural people, and the simple crooked lines of words are effortless to identify, and the fat girl can read it with relish.

Lu Xiaoya suddenly felt that these two people were really a radish and a pit, and they were a perfect match.

The fat girl is a big man, what do you say. She carefully hid the letter and asked with a smile: "Xiaoya, you know more than me, do you know how to reply to the letter?" ”

In Lu Xiaoya's memory, she never wrote a letter, because e-commerce and the Internet are too developed, and this primitive communication method has long been replaced.

She thought for a moment and said, "First you have to go and buy envelopes, stationery, and stamps. ”

"Oh, let's go buy it later, okay?"

"Hmm."

The swallow asked, "What is faith?" ”

Lu Xiaoya slowly explained to her that a letter was delivered to us from a long distance through the hands of the postman's uncle.

Yanzi seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and said very disappointed in a blink of an eye: "Uncle Da Zhuang wrote to Aunt Fat, why didn't Uncle Wei write to me?" ”
