Chapter 8: Chicken Cake
"Then we'll sell these sleeves for a dollar a pair." Su Wen patted the board and urged the three sisters to hurry up to eat and take a bath. After eating and washing, the sisters locked the front and back doors tightly, and gathered together in the back room to start making sleeve guards.
Su Wen is responsible for picking out the cloth head and forming a pair of sleeve guards. Su Qing has good sewing skills and specializes in sewing. Su Xiu worked all day's work, and fell asleep when she was tired early. Su Xiaomei was busy on the side.
After a while, I pinched the eldest sister's shoulders and poured tea and water. After a while, I will help the second sister thread the needle, and when the thread in my hand is sewn, I will immediately replace it with a new one.
The three of them worked until late at night, sewing out a total of 30 pairs, and the efficiency was very good.
"Okay, let's rest today. Tomorrow is going on. ”
Su Qing had to go to the master's house tomorrow and yawned and went to sleep first.
Su Wen slept the latest, but because she was the only one in the family, she got up the next day when the rooster crowed, and went into the kitchen to make cornmeal cakes neatly. It was soft and delicious, sweet and delicious, and the three sisters who ate it almost swallowed their tongues.
"Eldest sister, what kind of cake is this? How can it be so delicious? Su Xiaomei said with admiration on her face: "It's very similar to the chicken cake that grandma secretly gave Niu Niu to eat!" ”
"Chicken cake?" Su Wen was surprised, was there a chicken cake in the countryside in the 80s? But this reminds her that she can make her own chicken cakes and sell them! It's not difficult to do, just eggs, flour, and sugar are enough.
Just go to the blacksmith in town and make a few molds.
When the sleeves can't be sold, you can make chicken cakes and sell them with a little money in your hand.
I remember when I was a child, I was in the countryside with my grandmother, and I often brought eggs and sugar to my own house, and there were special ones on the street to help with processing, as long as I paid the processing fee. At that time, the chicken cakes were delicious, and the eggs were all from the domestic chickens in the countryside.
If a child can take a piece of chicken cake to the village and walk around, he will definitely become the most beautiful baby in the village.
"Don't listen to, fart chicken cake. They are all aunts, and there is a relative who can't beat the eight poles who works in the city's state-owned steel plant, and when she comes back, she is bragged about it. "Su Qing has never heard of it, let alone eaten it.
Su Wen breathed a sigh of relief, it's good if she doesn't! In this way, she will make it easy to sell. Chicken cake is a thing that can be made with a little raw material, fluffy and soft, sweet and delicious, and it is definitely not comparable to peach crisp.

In the next few days, Su Wen was busy making sleeve guards at home at night, and even made shawls for factory workers. During the day, I visited the village, and I went to Aunt Chunyan's house to inquire about the situation, and after figuring out the direction of public opinion in the village, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't give her fifty-five yuan in vain, which immediately reversed everyone's evaluation of her.
During this period, Su Wen met Sun Yunyun once in the village. I heard that she was arguing with her parents at home to continue studying, and her brother and sister-in-law objected to it and refused to pay, so she was relieved that the trouble was quite fierce.
Let's make trouble! There's no time to provoke her.
However, according to the plot in the novel, Sun Yunyun finally continued to study, and later was admitted to the normal college in the provincial capital.
Su Wen sneered in her heart, the biggest reason why Sun Yunyun was so desperate to study was to go to the male protagonist. In the novel, the author forcibly gave her a golden finger in order to make the heroine of Xiaobaihua match the male lead.
The little white flower heroine can dream about things that are beneficial to her. Now she must have dreamed that the male protagonist will develop in the provincial capital in the future, and she is in order to be close to the water in the future.
In this way, I worked hard for a week, and made thirty-one pairs of sleeves and twenty-five shawls. Originally, they had to be sleeve guards, but the sleeves needed elastic bands, and Su Qing couldn't get so much, so she simply changed them all to sunscreen shawls.
The sunscreen shawl style is good-looking and beautiful. Don't use an elastic band yet.
Rural people want to work in the fields, and shawls are a bit of a hindrance and inappropriate, but urban workers can! Su Wen's original idea of going to the town to sell it was temporarily changed to selling it in the county seat.
