Chapter 55: Fish Balls, Remembering the "Truth"
Due to the boom in the trade of river fish and shrimp, the river fish that the family fished out of the river were no longer made into fishy dried fish, but directly put them in buckets and stored them, and the next day they were taken to the city to sell them for money.
But because of some previous reasons, they still have a lot of dried fish left in their house.
These dried fish are dried and packed into urns, and they are filled with several urns, at least in the winter of this year, their dried fish are not worried about eating.
They still have a lot of stockpiles such as dried fish.
Yes, it's all thanks to the limitations of the times.
Winter is cold, and nothing is born.
In order to survive, the Li family has been busy with winter food storage since the beginning of spring.
Although the family was busy making money during these childhood days, the storage of fruits, vegetables and grains was not left behind.
No, Zhao Yu had just ventilated those urns full of stock before he was called over to light the fire.
When the meeting is done, she will also cover it to protect it from moisture.
Who kept her busy with milk, and such a tedious and boring job fell on her.
But at the moment, Zhao Yu didn't care about thinking about these things, she was thinking about what her grandmother had just said.
For her, Li's words are quite tempting.
Even during these childhood days, their family's daily life has improved significantly.
Whether it is food or clothing, there is an aura of the New Year.
But...... What do you say?
Sure enough, there are still too few food patterns?
Zhao Yu touched his chin and couldn't help but think.
Seeing that Zhao Yu hadn't replied for a long time, the Li family smiled and teased.
"What? Don't have anything to eat? ”
"No," Zhao Yu shook her head seriously, scratched her chin again, and her tone was a little embarrassed, "That's it, it's just that the season is not right now, and she can't remember what to eat for a while."
But before she could finish her sentence, she heard a sudden and satisfying noise outside the kitchen.
The grandfather and grandson were stunned for a moment, looked at each other and poked their heads out one after another, and their eyes looked out of the kitchen.
In the small courtyard, two men facing them were carrying things, and they were moving slowly towards the eaves.
After looking at it, it was determined that the two were Zhao Shanchuan and Zhao Shanhe brothers.
And what the two of them were carrying in their hands were buckets that looked dead and sunk.
Placing the heavy bucket in the shade of the eaves not far from the well, the two shook their hands, turned their heads and left.
You don't have to think about it to know that the two of them brought back either river fish or green shrimp.
It was placed under the tree before, but now it is full under the tree, so it has to be placed in the shade of the eaves.
Dozens of buckets are neatly placed in the courtyard, and it is enough to bluff people to watch.
Li smiled at the corner of his mouth, quite happy, and said that these buckets were filled with treasures that made his own money.
Zhao Yu also sighed, and said in his heart that these adults in their family really work hard to catch fish and shrimp.
That's all for one morning.
If you count the afternoon, it is estimated that the yard will be full.
It's good, but I'm tired of drinking fish soup, and I've eaten enough green shrimp.
No matter how much she catches this thing, it doesn't have much attraction in her eyes, if only there were new varieties.
Zhao Yu smacked his lips, and said in his heart that even if there was no new variety, at least he had to change the taste.
A change of taste?
A change of taste?
Hey? Pregnant!
Zhao Yu turned her head and looked at her milk for a moment, her eyes were shining, "Milk, I thought of it." ”
"What comes to mind?" Lee was curious.
Of course, it's the thought of what to eat! Zhao Yu couldn't help but turn into a screaming chicken in his heart, but he was still calm on the surface, and he broke with Li in a calm tone.
"Milk, you see, it's only been half a day, and we've already caught so many fish in our family alone, and counting other families in the village, it's astronomical in one day."
"And these river fish, but they have to be pulled to the county seat to sell,"
"How many people are there in the city, and how much energy is consumed in a day, even if the fish soup is delicious, it can't stand people drinking it every day."
"When the people in the city get tired of drinking, these river fish will be difficult to sell sooner or later."
At that time, the money that their family will be able to earn will be less.
Lee's ......
"That's what you're talking about," Li nodded, but didn't show too much nervousness.
She looked at Zhao Yu in surprise, as if she couldn't understand why Zhao Yu said that.
What's more, "Does it have anything to do with what you want to eat?" ”
Li frowned, and explained to Zhao Yu in a serious tone, "Erya, don't worry,"
"Our family is different from others, even if the trading of river fish is not good, our family still has the trading of chicken food and herbs, and we will never lose money."
That's right, there will be no loss, so if the river fish is not sold or not, what impact will it have on them.
Li Shi was very calm, and comforted Zhao Yu by the way.
Zhao Yu......
Zhao Yu never expected that her milk was really open!
That's not going to work!
"Milk, that's not how it is calculated," Zhao Yu sighed, and quickly pulled her milk and began to pull it seriously, "Do you think, isn't this chicken food and herb trade originally our own?" ”
Li nodded, "That's right" is indeed their own.
"Yes, think about it again," Zhao Yu pointed to the buckets outside the courtyard, "If the trade of river fish is still hot, then wouldn't we be able to make more money?" ”
Li Shi was stunned and nodded, "That's true." "Sell more and make more money.
"Isn't this done, we can't just give up such a business, the fish soup is not easy to sell, then we can't sell something else."
"Besides, if there is no river fish trading, then our chicken food business is not at risk of being exposed."
"Although we only know about it now, but the villagers are not blind, they see the sky, and now they can use the excuse of river fish to cover up two points, if one day the river fish cannot be sold, they are afraid that they will be suspicious."
Li was stunned by Zhao Yu's bluffing, Zhao Yu saw it, directly increased his strength, and added fire to it.
"Do you think, the restaurant in the city, is the new dish launched recently very popular?"
"Don't forget, this chicken is not often caught and fed to the chickens."
"People have seen a lot, and they will feel that this is familiar to the naked eye,"
"Over time, it's certain that you'll be known what's going on."
"At that time, our family will lose."
Li Shi was led down by the train of thought, and after listening to it, he couldn't help but ask, "Why?" Why did our family suffer? ”
Obviously, their family was the first to sell, so they should take advantage of it.
After hearing this, Zhao Yu sighed, and continued to talk crookedly, "What's more, because our family is small, even if we don't sleep endlessly, how much can we catch." ”
"At that time, the business of chicken food green will also be cheaper for others."
"Do you think that money has fallen into the hands of others?"
After hearing this, Li also felt reasonable, and couldn't help frowning and thinking.
Zhao Yu only felt that it was done, clapped her hands and waited for her milk to jump into the pit she had dug.
In fact, what Zhao Yu said is not all crooked.
At least, according to her logic, if the villagers knew that the chicken food could be sold for money, they would rush to salvage it.
At that time, even if Qixianglou has a good relationship with their family at the moment, who can bet on people's hearts!
Merchants are profit-seeking, and if the raw materials they buy can be cheap, who wants to spend more?
Therefore, Zhao Yu knew that these transactions of their family were too risky.
Except for herbs, they don't last long.
How could Li not understand.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken advantage of the fact that everyone didn't react, so they would seize the time and get more chicken food.
Li Shi turned his head and looked at Zhao Yu's embarrassed eyes, "These things you said are inevitable,"
"Our family, we can't stop it,"
"But, what does this have to do with what you want to eat, what do you want to do?"
Zhao Yu rubbed his hands and smiled, "I don't want to, our family can take this opportunity to make some new food and sell it to Qixiang Building." ”
"Talk about it"
Li did not refuse, there were two previous deals, and she trusted Zhao Yu mostly.
"There are a lot of fish, and it's not just fish soup, we can make fish balls,"
"Fish balls taste better, and they can also be used as side dishes, which is better than selling fish."
And fish balls are not so easy to imitate, at least they sell fish balls, and they don't have to worry about being imitated for a while.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhao Yu wants to change his taste.
After listening to this, Li pondered again, felt that there was some truth, and hurriedly asked, "Erya, how did you make this fish ball?" ”
Fish balls, do you still have to rub the fish into balls? Lee's unknown why.
Zhao Yu rubbed his head, his tone was a little vague, "Well, it's not too difficult, just chop the fish, put some ginger juice, salt, add some sweet potato powder, and knead it into small round balls to cook." ”
When the time comes, a small fish ball that is full of elasticity and oily but not greasy, is delicious when you think about it.
When Zhao Yu said, his facial expression was too enjoyable, and Li also became a little interested, the most important thing is that listening to this fish ball, there must be a market.
"That's good," Li patted Zhao Yu's little head, and said in a gentle tone, "Erya, how to make this fish ball, you can tell your grandmother about it." ”
If you expect it to sell for money, you can't just be perfunctory.
Zhao Yu nodded and said obediently.
In front of Li's family, he carefully explained the method of fish balls.
"That's it? It's not that hard,"
"This MSG, what is it? There is no such seasoning at home, is it new from Changle County? Don't worry, it just so happens that your uncle is back today, and he should buy it. Li Shi said with a question, making Zhao Yu sweat coldly.
Zhao Yuxin said that she was going to suffer, she forgot that the things in her head didn't seem to be a product of this era, MSG? It is a kind of condiment that makes the food fresh and tastes better.
"Maybe I'm mistaken, it's probably not MSG," Zhao Yu said to Li with a serious face, "Milk, the fish balls we make will definitely be delicious." ”
"Really? Milk's good granddaughter, you look at the fire, and Milk will go to catch fish, and when it's ready, I'll serve you a big bowl. Li threw down the spatula and happily ran out to catch fish.
She was left in the room, and Zhao Yu really thought about the unusual things that existed in her.
Squatting at the mouth of the stove, staring at the flames inside, Zhao Yu held his chin with a deep face.
She's still her, and she's not her.
This is the conclusion she summed up after checking the memories in her mind these days.
Although this sounds a bit twisted, but seriously speaking, Zhao Yu is still Zhao Yu, she is the biological daughter of Zhao Fuxiang's second son Zhao Shanchuan and Yuan, and was born in a small village called Shangwa Village in the year 203 of the Great Zhou Calendar.
When she was young, she was no different from the children in the village, except that her luck would be better than that of others.
However, since the other day, when she accidentally fell on the stove and broke her head, everything has changed.
There was a lot of out of place in her head, and a lot of terms that she never knew were starting to pop up in her head.
At first, she only thought it was the sequelae of a broken head, thinking that it would be fine in a few days, so she didn't pay attention to it.
But who knows, as her mind began to improve, and this extra memory did not disappear, she realized that her situation did not seem quite right.
She wanted to talk to her parents, but because of her previous intentional or unintentional actions, the family had two more profitable businesses.
She doesn't dare to confess casually.
After thinking a lot in his mind, Zhao Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief and grinned.
I saw it, and I understood.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with using the extra memory to help the family?
