126 Sweet and delicious laba porridge
"Come on, drink porridge!" Early in the morning, Lin Le and a man laughed and groaned and brought out a large pot of porridge in the kitchen of the car shop.
A sweet smell immediately spread through the yard.
The eyes of more than a dozen big men who had just gotten up to wash up and were ready to eat breakfast and go out of the car lit up.
A big man with a leprosy head took a sharp breath and asked; "Town team, what kind of porridge is this? Why is it so sweet? ”
Lin Le wiped his hands with a rag; "Today is Laba, naturally I drink Laba porridge, the eight ingredients are complete, and I put two catties of brown sugar, which is sweet."
"This is me and the town team who got up before dawn." The man who carried the porridge with Lin Le invited merit.
When more than a dozen big men heard this, they immediately brought bowls and chopsticks, each filled a bowl, and drank it in the courtyard while sitting or squatting.
"Hiss~ It's so hot." The coachman Wang Ergou took a sip, but it was too hot and quickly spit it back into the bowl, causing his colleagues to laugh.
Lin Le kicked him lightly, and then said with a smile to everyone; "Don't be in a hurry to drink slowly, the portion is very large, one person can drink two bowls."
After a pause, he said; "This is a benefit for our Bujia car dealership, and every car shop has it."
"Great, the town team thanked Mrs. Bu for us." Several drivers laughed.
"You don't have to say thank you, just keep it in your heart. As long as you work hard, be good brothers, and work together to make money is the most important thing. ”
is worthy of being a perceptive young man, he can comprehend Jiang Yi's thoughts very well, and he also implements them from time to time, Jiang Yi, who just led Liu Er Chun'er from the powder shop, happened to hear it.
The coachmen did not notice Jiang Yi's arrival, and one of them shouted loudly; "If there are two bowls for one person, can I just drink one bowl and keep one bowl?"
"Li Letou, do you still want to keep a bowl for supper?" The other driver asked with a smile.
The man known as Li Leper smiled a little shyly; "This porridge is so delicious, take a sip of sweetness in my heart, I want to keep a bowl and send it home when I leave work in the evening, and give it to my mother and father to taste......"
Eating sugar can bring people a sense of pleasure and happiness, both men and women, young and old, but because the technology of sugar refining is not high and not popular, people in ancient times could rarely eat sweets, so drinking such a very sweet Laba porridge is a luxury for this group of poor coachmen.
"Good! I'll keep it for you! Lin Le said with a smile.
A man in the corner stood up and spoke; "Then I'll keep a bowl too, my kid is seven or eight years old, and he has never drunk such sweet laba porridge."
"My family hasn't cooked laba porridge for many years, so I'll keep a bowl and go back and let my family taste it."
"It's a shame that I can come here to work, otherwise I wouldn't be able to drink such sweet porridge."
Most of the more than a dozen coachmen said that they wanted to keep a bowl, and Lin Le made a record seriously.
"I've been working here for three months, and now my family is almost full. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, and I have some money to spare, I can make a new dress for my family this time. ”
"You can still get paid once on the day of the year-end shutdown, Mrs. Bu said that this is a year-end reward."
"Ah, really? And such a good thing? ”
"That's right, those who have been working for less than three months will receive one-tenth of their wages, four months will receive two-tenths, five months will receive three-tenths, and so on."
"Our new batch of arrivals all came to work in early August, isn't there sixty copper?"
"Yes!"
"Great, you can also make some glutinous rice cakes for the New Year."
"Thank you, Mrs. Step, for the porridge."
"Mrs. Bu is really a bodhisattva."
Several coachmen chatted happily and earnestly, not noticing that the person they wanted to thank had quietly entered the door and entered the hall of the garage at some point.
Jiang Yi looked at this group of rough men who were drinking a bowl of laba porridge, but they were happier than the big companies in their previous life who had a dinner full of big fish and meat, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart; The common people are really a group of people who are easily satisfied, as long as they can be given a job to support their families, they are satisfied.
It seems that he has to earn money and strive to make himself and more people live a life of food and clothing.
Don't be like the growing number of northern victims in the town, who are displaced and don't have enough to eat.
"Liu'er, you go and bring me a bowl of porridge."
"Madam, we also made laba porridge at the noodle shop, let's go back and drink it."
Jiang Yi glanced at her and said as if chatting with her best friend; "If you are told to sheng, you will be sheng, why is there so much nonsense."
"Hee-hee, okay." Liu Er smiled and went to fill a full bowl and brought it over.
Jiang Yi took it and led Liu Er and Chun Er to a relatively remote room in the car shop.
The door was squeaked open, and a middle-aged man was sitting inside, writing something with his head down.
"Uncle Shuiyun, come and drink laba porridge!" Jiang Yi walked over and put the porridge on the table and said with a smile.
"You put it first, I'll drink it later." Bu Shui Yun didn't raise his head.
Putting down the porridge, Jiang Yi carefully looked at what Bu Shuiyun was writing for a while.
It is really worthy of a person who has read books for more than ten years, and his learning ability is strong, and he has only studied with himself for two or three months, and he can be so proficient in using various multi-digit Arabic numerals addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and loan accounting calculations.
Originally, I thought that Uncle Shui Yun was just a little interested in arithmetic, but I didn't expect him to be so interested, in order to learn arithmetic in the past few months, not only humbly asked for advice, but also forgot to sleep and eat as soon as he learned it, and he was also happy.
Because it is approaching the end of the year, Shen Qingzhou has gone home, and he is still here, and after learning, he will use the income of the powder shop to calculate.
After calculating, even the income and expenditure of the car dealership were collected, and later Jiang Yi saw that he was serious and did not make any mistakes, so he was relieved to give him all the accounts.
So later, all the industrial accounts of the Bu family were calculated by Bu Shuiyun.
As soon as it was dawn today, he got up and started, which shows that he is true love for arithmetic.
"Uncle Shui Yun, it's almost the New Year, when do you plan to go back?"
"What's the hurry? You haven't made your year-end accounts yet. ”
"I'll do the rest."
"You can't be counted as a woman, and besides, you still have to be in charge of so many powder shops, the operation of the car dealership, decision-making, there is not much time to calculate, Uncle Shui Yun, I have eaten and drunk you for so long, and I should repay you now." Bu Shuiyun said seriously.
"Ha, what did the family say about seeing you outside?" Jiang Yi smiled; "At first I just thought you were three minutes hot, and once you learned it, you didn't have much interest. So you have to learn from me. ”
And then he said; "Now that you have been in ruins here for several months, the patriarch still thinks that you are studying here, if he knows that you are helping me make accounts during this wasted time, he will not be allowed to smoke the Confucian brother with spruce strips when he goes back."
"He won't run? My father has old arms and legs, can he catch up with the little young Confucian brother? In the past ten years, my father has stopped beating me because he can't catch up. At this point, the guy in his early thirties had a smug look on his face.
Jiang Yi sneered, and then said; "But that's not going to work, you'll have to take the exam later."
Bu Shuiyun stopped the calculation, raised his head and thought about it; "For me, it really doesn't matter if I take the test, it was imposed on me by my father, I'll just go with the flow, try it every year in the future, of course it's good to pass the exam, and I don't want to hold the four books and five classics all day long if I can't pass the exam."
After a pause, he took a sip of the sweet laba porridge, and said; "You don't know, I feel sleepy when I read the Four Books and Five Classics, and only the more I calculate these accounts, the more energetic I become. So don't drive me back, don't rush me back, don't rush to go back when the year-end accounts are settled, it's so close anyway. ”
Jiang Yi said helplessly; "Okay, then feel free to do so."
Seeing his nephew and sister-in-law leading the two maids out of the door, Bu Shuiyun put down the pen thoughtfully, and only sighed sadly for a while, picked up the pen and continued to calculate.
