The young man's family lives in Qili Lane, which is a relatively old area in Xijing City, and the land price here is very low. Therefore, there are many square meters of people.

Among them, there are those who work as runners for the restaurant, and there are also those who work as thugs for the gambling house, and more of them can't find a regular job and can only do some odd jobs.

is so lucky as a young man, when Yimingju began to recruit the hall, he directly applied for the trainee.

In fact, he didn't know what this trainee meant, but he felt lucky that he had money to take and his work was idle. It wasn't until later that he recalled his experience of entering a tea house countless times, and the young man felt that it was an extremely correct decision.

But at that time, the little guy known as Jin Qiaozui had become the chief steward of Sanhe Ji.

And now, he is just a young man with a worried face and wants to make a benefit for the neighborhood.

Seeing that Qin Xiang didn't say anything, Jin Qian became more and more cramped.

He's just a buddy, how can he make such a request to the owner.

There are also many people in the city who do the business of peeling fruit pits, and they have to give silver according to the type of shelling, such as the longevity fruit is ten catties of money.

The fingers that have to be peeled hurt in order to earn a penny. But for those who can't go out to work, or even do heavy physical work, this job is just too suitable for them.

In this era, the family population is generally large, and every small yard is a large family.

A sack of walnuts beckons the whole family to peel them in half a day. The money earned is not much, and it is enough to buy a bowl of Yangchun noodles. But for people who have no regular source of income, the business of peeling the pit is like giving money for nothing.

The people in the shop are also willing to use labor, which is cheap and easy to use, and can also help pick out the broken nuts. Compared to the losses caused by the use of stone grinding, this transaction is really a good deal.

Both parties were satisfied, and this kernel-peeling business was born.

Jin Qian is an enthusiastic young man, and there are many people who can't go out to work or engage in heavy physical strength in Qili Lane. He also wants to help the villagers and do a little bit.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, winter is not far away. If you don't save some money at this time, the winter will be difficult.

In a row of houses not far from his house, two of them froze to death due to snow last year, and some houses collapsed to death due to snow.

Alas, it's miserable.

"Yes."

Just as Jin Qian's embarrassed face turned red, Qin Xiang replied: "Have they ever made a living peeling nuts before?" I don't want them to peel it fast, try to make sure the kernels are intact, and it's best not to break too much. ”

While the kernels still need to be chopped before being processed into fillings, whole kernels retain their flavor better and don't mush easily when baked.

Jin Qian didn't know if they could do it or not, and couldn't help but regret that he had accepted it indiscriminately.

Qin Xiang saw the young man's embarrassment, and only said, "You take some walnuts back and let them peel them first." There are two things you need to keep in mind, in addition to the integrity of the kernels, the hygiene should not be sloppy. ”

Jin Qianke has been trained in Yimingju, knows the importance of hygiene, and pats his chest to ensure that there will be no mistakes.

Qin Xiang asked him to take a bag of walnuts back, and then he didn't care about it anymore.

Pepe was puzzled and asked: "There is a person in charge of shelling in the vegetable market, why does Mrs. want to find some inexperienced?" ”

"This kid has a kind heart, and he wants to help his neighbors more. Since he meant it, I fulfilled him. In the future, there will be more days of using nuts, and it is better to train some people who are specifically responsible for peeling the shells than to be fooled by the gang in the vegetable market. ”

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and this is true.

The reason why Qin Xiang didn't look for those people in the vegetable market was that he heard Chen Wuliu say that there was a lot of moisture here.

The gang first peeled the shell for you, and after getting the first salary, they were not very diligent in their follow-up. If you are in a hurry to urge them, they will raise the price.

Qin Xiang didn't object to bargaining, she just didn't like this kind of backsliding.

How much wages are needed is said at the beginning, and changing the hexagram halfway is purely a diaphragm.

"Since Jin Qian and them are neighbors, they are also very familiar with each other, if those people don't do well, I will go to him." Qin Xiang blinked, undisguised his profiteer's behavior.

Pepe Bingxue is smart and understands it as soon as she hears it.

Instead of looking for those who don't know the roots, it is better to find people who are close and familiar.

"That's what Madame said." It's like a brain-dead act.

Qin Xiang was amused by her, and told her again: "I forgot that there are such good things as nuts before, which can make a lot of delicious food." ”

At this time, the application of nuts is limited to the filling of certain pastries, or they are simply fried and eaten.

For Qin Xiang, even if it is just a small peanut, there is too much food that can be made.

It can be made into familiar side dishes, such as boiled peanuts, crispy peanuts, and even cold dishes. Such as fish skin peanuts, strange peanuts, and drunkard peanuts are also everyone's favorite snacks. It can even be made into desserts such as peanut sauce, as well as small snacks such as peanut crisp and peanut candy.

As long as there is a heart, peanuts can have infinite variations. 126 Chinese Net

After so many years of changes, this small kernel appeared on the table of the Chinese people, and it has long become a delicacy that can be seen everywhere in life.

Autumn coincides with the arrival of many nuts on the market.

Qin Xiang only remembered that he could also use nuts to make delicious food after seeing peanuts.

In the warehouse in Xijing City, a steady stream of nuts is being transported. In the future, they will be transformed into one delicious dish after another, appearing in Qin Ji's shop and appearing on the dining tables of various families.

Pei Pei didn't know that Qin Xiang only relied on a small peanut to think so far-reaching, she only hoped that Jin Qian would be the best and reliable and could achieve his wife's wishes. For Pepe, there is nothing more important than making her lady happy.

Jin Qian is working for half a day today, and after getting off work, he went back to Qili Lane with a bag.

It's just past noon, and some people haven't eaten, and the alleys are full of smoke.

Jin Qian couldn't wait to tell the news to his family, "I heard that there are a lot of shells to be peeled, so I thought about letting everyone find a living." ”

When his mother heard this, she hurriedly came out of the kitchen and wiped her hands: "Really? How many walnuts are there, are there enough people in our family? ”

Jin Qian was stunned, he never expected his mother to intervene horizontally.

Jin Qianniang glared at him, "My family still can't eat enough, so I know how to push good things to other people's homes?" My mother doesn't object to you doing good deeds, but your father can't do heavy work because he hurts his leg, and your younger brothers and sisters are still young, so you have to think about it. ”

Jin Qian looked at his dilapidated yard and exhaled, "I know." The proprietor asked me to bring a bag back, let us try it first, and if we can do it, then talk about the salary. ”

Qin Xiang naturally didn't know that after Jin Qian returned home, he had encountered such a situation.

But on the second day, Qin Xiang was still very satisfied with the peeled nuts he brought.

"According to the price on the market, in addition to walnuts, there are also peanuts, hazelnuts, and chestnuts...... Forget it, I won't list it, let Shopkeeper Zhu take you to the warehouse to take a look. ”

Jin Qian is just a young man, so naturally he didn't have the opportunity to see the huge raw material warehouse of Sanhe Ji. He was still taken aback when he saw two huge doors open from the inside, revealing all kinds of dried fruits neatly arranged in front of him.

"Actually...... So much? ”

Shopkeeper Zhu looked at him and said with a smile: "Do you know that in addition to the dim sum sold every day in the shop, how many of them will be packaged and sold to other places in Xiyan?" Don't talk about the distance, let's just say that a few days ago, the merchant of Sidi ordered all kinds of preserved fruits for 500 catties. If the raw materials are not matched, it will not be able to supply the needs of customers at all. ”

Jin Qian is just a young man, and he was also stunned when he heard these business experiences. He only knew one thing: his mother asked him to come back and peel the walnuts so that his family could earn money. But so many dried fruits are far from being borne by his family.

He swallowed his saliva and said cautiously, "This is too much, and I still have to discuss it with my family." ”

Shopkeeper Zhu nodded understandingly, and said approvingly: "After you go back, discuss it carefully, it is also a problem to transport so many dried fruits back and forth." If you get into a little trouble along the way, you can't afford to pay for the loss. ”

After Jin Qian went back, he told everyone about it, and it soon caused a discussion among his family.

There are many families with poor conditions in the alley, and they are not the only Jin family. Jin Mu is not stingy, but she feels that her stomach is not full, how can she have the spare time to send the silver to someone else's house. At this time, when I heard what my son said, I was a little stunned.

In the end, it was Father Jin who made a decision and asked him to call all the big guys over, and if anyone was interested in doing this job, he signed the deed, which would save him trouble in the future.

As for those who are unwilling to sign, they don't force it, at most they just ignore it.

There are a lot of people who are willing to do this, this work is not too tiring, and it is quite light. And listening to Jin Qian's meaning, you can take the dried fruits home and peel them.

"I can tell you here, this job was begged by my son from the owner, if you cut corners and cause trouble for him, don't blame me Chen Huagui for going to your house to make trouble!"

Jin Qian also helped: "Our owner is powerful, if you dare to deceive, I will take you to the government when I turn back." ”

The mother and son sang and harmonized, which suddenly made a few people with ideas rest and think carefully.

The family is one of them, and they still talk quietly after signing the deed and going back. Hearing that, I was going to secretly grab some dried fruits from the sack and save too much to sell, but I didn't dare to do it at all.

"Mother, I'm still worried."

Jin Mu looked disgusted: "Look at your guts, don't go out and say it's my son in the future." ”

Qin Xiang explained the matter of peeling the nuts, and then didn't care about it anymore.

It's just a trivial matter, and she can't take it seriously. Anyway, there is a shopkeeper Zhu, if something really goes wrong, the monk can't run away from the temple.

Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, there is a backlog of orders.

Qin Xiang hasn't been to other places in the past few days, and almost stays in the dim sum shop as a supervisor.

Unlike modern ovens, the ovens of ancient times used charcoal instead of electricity. It is also a matter of science to control the heat, and the number of ovens to be baked at a time is not enough.

Except for some wastage, the finished product is really not gratifying.

Although Qin Xiang improved it, the effect did not meet her expectations.

In addition to making mooncakes, I also made some pralines on the other side. These are the 'side dishes' of the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I didn't cook too much. In fact, it is also because of the limited time and lack of manpower that they dare not expand production.
