"What's the good news?" Tian Shi suddenly became interested, stared at Chu Yan and asked.

"After we finished selling pastries today, the shopkeeper of the restaurant came to the restaurant and wanted to buy the recipe we made pastries, in fact, the recipe is very simple, the most important thing is yam, I negotiated a deal with him, and the recipe was given to them for nothing!"

"Huh? How can we make money if we give it away for nothing? Tian was a little distressed.

Wang Laoshi knocked on the cigarette pouch on the table leg and said, "You listen to what the Da Zhuang family has to say first." ”

In a short period of time, Wang Laoshi knew that this daughter-in-law was not simple, and the money she earned these days alone was on top of the belongings they had saved for most of their lives.

Chu Yan was very proud, like a child showing off in front of her parents, happily talking about how she talked about business with Shopkeeper Xu.

"Of course it won't be given to them in vain, let's stop making pastries and sell yams!"

"What's the price of the yam?" Tian asked.

"Guess?" Chu Yan sold it.

"Eight cents a pound?" Tian raised the price vigorously.

You must know that the price of white flour milled rice will not exceed five cents.

Chu Yan shook her head.

"Ten Wen." This time it's Wang Lao Shichai.

Chu Yan smiled again and shook her head.

Tian's heart was pounding: "It can't be fifteen wen, right?" ”

"It's twenty cents a pound!" Chu Yan said.

Hiss...

Tian and Wang Laoshi gasped at the same time, shocked: "Twenty Wen? You're not kidding, are you? ”

If Chu Yan wasn't joking, then the shopkeeper Xu who promised him was probably not stupid.

The price of 20 yuan a pound is on top of pork, who is so stupid to buy yams to make pastries.

"Of course it's true, I'll take the mountain to the town early tomorrow morning to sign the deed, let's dig up as many yams as possible while everyone hasn't found out yet."

Because Chu Yan knew that once she sold not the finished product made of yams, but the yams themselves, she would soon be discovered by others that yams could be sold for money.

Tian and Wang Laoshi couldn't sit still for a while, they rested for a while, and all they lost was the silver in vain.

In the past few days, the work in the field has been busy, and the two go up the mountain to dig yams every day.

In the early morning, Tian got up early to help Chu Yan prepare pastries, and the family had a prosperous life.

Originally, they thought that earning dozens of dollars a day was enough, but now that the price of yam is twenty yuan a catty, the two of them can dig at least fifty catties a day.

How much can it be sold for? Many of them didn't dare to think like that in their dreams.

"Let's go, hurry, don't stop!" Tian said he would go.

Chu Yan and Wang Laoshi each carried their own baskets and went out with shovels.

Maybe Chu Yan is not familiar with Jinshan and doesn't know where there are yams, but for Wang Laoshi, who has lived at the foot of Jinshan for most of his life, he doesn't have to look hard at all to know where there is a yam plant.

After digging one place, Wang Laoshi took the two to another place.

The three of them who were busy didn't care about the speculation of the villagers, and they didn't want to get entangled in the opinions of the villagers, they just wanted to make money! Earn! Earn!

Besides, Shen Yulan, she and the three of the Wang family are in a different situation, I am afraid that the Yang family and a few concubines will find out, and it is sneaky to go to the town in the morning, and there is not so much time in the afternoon, so I can only go forward and dig a little bit and store it in the Wang family.

In one afternoon, Shen Yulan dug up ten catties of yams, and Chu Yan and the three of them dug up a hundred catties.

"Auntie, sister, thank you, I put the yam here, go back first, and I will carry it to the town with my sister early tomorrow morning to sell it." Shen Yulan greeted Tian and hurried home.

Chu Yan and the three of them were so tired that they couldn't straighten their waists, so they didn't get up to see each other.

It's the end of summer, the weather is hot and dry, and there is no appetite, two large bowls of cold boiled water go down, and the three of them let out a long sigh, which is much more comfortable.

After a quarter of an hour of relief, Chu Yan stood up: "Daddy, I'll cook!" ”

Tian and Wang Laoshi are old, and their physical strength is naturally not as good as Chu Yan, who has eaten and drunk a lot recently, and has gained a lot of weight.

When she arrived at the stove room, Chu Yan took stock of the ingredients, and after the meat she bought in the morning was oiled, there was still a large piece of fat and thin left, but she was busy all day and didn't want to eat too greasy meals.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, she bought a lot of white noodles and polished rice today, which can be made into cold noodles, and with meat sauce, it is absolutely refreshing and delicious.

She scooped a bowl of white noodles, slowly added water while stirring, made the noodles a little harder, put them aside to rise, and chopped the meat into foam for later use.

In this era, the seasoning is not very complete, and there are only wild onions picked from the mountains at home, but it does not affect the original and pollution-free food.

I saw Chu Yan quickly pour a little lard into the pot, add chopped green onions and stir-fry until the oil is hot, pour the meat foam into the pot and stir-fry evenly, add soy sauce, salt, a little water, simmer for a quarter of an hour, and the concise version of the meat sauce is ready.

At this time, the noodles are almost rising, she rolls out the dough into a thick and uniform dough, cuts the noodles into half a finger's width, puts them into the boiling water, and after the noodles are cooked, takes them out and passes them through cold water, and cuts some cucumber shreds, and that's it.

"Dad, mother, it's time to eat!" Chu Yan shouted loudly.

Tian helped set the dishes and chopsticks, looked at the white noodles and asked, "How do you eat this noodles?" ”

"Mother, it's very simple, scoop some marinade and pour it on the noodles, serve with cucumber shreds, stir well, you can taste it!" Saying that, Chu Yan helped Tian get a bowl.

On the other side, Wang Laoshi himself followed Chu Yan's example and also served a bowl.

"Not to mention, it's the first time I've seen this way of eating, and it tastes really good!" Tian praised.

Wang Laoshi didn't speak, but he ate two big bowls in a hurry to explain everything.

"Dad, mother, what do you think of us going to the town to sell noodles?" Chu Yan also suddenly remembered it when she was making cold noodles just now.

She paused and continued: "It's hot now, and I don't think the business of selling noodles in the town is very good. ”

In fact, what she wants to focus on most is not cold noodles, but the cold skin that she suddenly remembered when making cold noodles.

Think about the hot weather, sweating, and a bowl of smooth cool skin, how comfortable.

Tian thought for a while and asked Wang Laoshi: "His father, what do you think?" I think so! ”

Wang Laoshi thought for a while: "The method of pastry was given to the restaurant in the town, and the yam will be gone after a while, we can't always sell yams, the big Zhuang family thinks that this business is good, you can try it." ”

Having tasted the sweetness of selling pastries and doing business, Wang Laoshi's ability to accept new livelihoods has improved significantly.

His opinion was immediately praised by Chu Yan: "Dad is thoughtful, let's dig the yam for another month at most." ”

"Then I'll go to the church restaurant in the town tomorrow and send the yam over and start preparing."

"I'll go with your mother!" Wang Laoshi habitually knocked on the cigarette bag and pot, "Selling rice is not as good as selling pastries, you don't need pots and pans, and besides, if you sign a contract with someone else's restaurant tomorrow, I don't feel at ease." ”

"Dad, if you go back and forth with your mother to the town, will your body be unbearable?" Chu Yan said worriedly.

"Don't worry, we're in good health, let's think about what tools we want to prepare tomorrow!"
