After taking the glutinous rice milk home, Lin Jing poured them into a cloth bag and put them on a basket to drain the water. And Xiao Qinghe took the time to go into the mountains and dig some Qingming grass and came back, and raised it with Yuan Qi water.

Selling Qingming Ba is my mother's first time doing business, so I can't mess it up anyway! At this time, she will not be stingy with vitality water, the more vitality contained in Qingming grass, the more delicious Qingming Ba will be, as long as it can be sold, repeat customers are absolutely indispensable!

In order to get a "good start", Xiao Qinghe thought about it and went to Xu Si's grandfather's house.

"Is the fourth grandfather at home?"

"Who? Oh, it's a lotus. ”

Xu Zhengqiang clicked a cigarette gun and walked out of the back room.

Xiao Qinghe wrinkled his nose, the smell of homemade dry tobacco in the countryside is really big, and it chokes people.

She barely held back and said, "Fourth grandfather, I want to ask you to help me carve a little tiger?" I'll pick the March Worm tomorrow and exchange it with you, and give it to the mouse brother. ”

Xu Zhengqiang heard her mention her good grandson, and his eyebrows and eyes suddenly softened.

Now that the country implements family planning, the third daughter-in-law is a capable person, and she gave birth to a big fat grandson before the implementation of the policy, which is stronger than the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law.

He Xu Zhengqiang finally has a queen!

Lotus thought about her good grandson in her heart, which made him happier than giving him money.

Xu Zhengqiang smiled and said, "Okay, you can get it tomorrow." ”

Xiao Qinghe took out a piece of paper and said, "Fourth grandfather, my little tiger has to be carved like this, and the middle has to be empty." ”

Xu Zhengqiang took a look and glanced at Xiao Qinghe up and down: "Lotus, this is what you painted?" ”

"Hmm!"

Xu Zhengqiang praised: "I didn't expect your girl to draw quite well." ”

On the painting, there is a cute little tiger, and Xiao Qinghe also marked it with a length of 4 cm, a width of 3 cm, and a thickness of 1 cm.

"Fourth grandfather, I'm going to make a mold of a little tiger to press the Qingming Baba, please help me polish the inside a little smoother."

Xu Zhengqiang muttered: "Just pinch the Qingming cake casually, what kind of mold do you press?" Children are just thinking about things all day long. ”

Xiao Qinghe pursed his lips, Qingming Ba is indeed okay to pinch casually, but if you want people to pay for it, you have to have some of your own characteristics.

Although she is sure that the Qingming Ba she made at home must taste good, no one else has bought it, how can she know that it is delicious? That's where you have to get an idea of what to look like.

This year is the Year of the Tiger, if she makes Qingming Ba in the shape of a cute tiger, the children will be able to walk when they see it? As long as someone buys it, she believes that with her mother's craftsmanship and the addition of vitality food, she will definitely make people want to eat it!

After draining the water, Lin Jing broke the glutinous rice dough into small pieces and put them in a dustpan to dry.

"Mom, let's make a few Qingming baba for breakfast."

Lin Jing twisted her little nose and scolded with a smile: "Little gluttonous cat." ”

She washed the Qingming grass that had been soaked in vitality water for a few days with water, chopped it into minced pieces, put it in the glutinous rice flour, added water, sprinkled with salt, and mixed thoroughly.

"Mom, you press the Qingming baba into the little tiger mold and press it tighter."

Lin Jing shook her head and smiled: "You have a lot of ideas." ”

She pinched the glutinous rice dumplings into small pieces, then pressed them into the mold, pressed the gaps around them tightly, and then used a knife to cut off the excess parts that protruded, and a small tiger-shaped Qingming Ba was formed.

Poured some oil into the pot and put the Qingming rice down and pasted it around.

Fry slowly over low heat, and after a while, you will smell an enticing smell.

"It smells so good!" Xiao Qinghe stood by the stove, inhaling and drooling, just by this fragrance, she knew that this Qingming Ba would definitely not let her down!

Lin Jing also swallowed her saliva and said, "How can it be so fragrant?" I didn't think it was so fragrant when I used to make Qingming Ba. ”

Xiao Qinghe was proud, this is naturally all her credit!

She said proudly: "I didn't tell you before, when I was soaking glutinous rice, I also drew runes, and Qingming grass, which has also been raised with vitality water for several days, and the Qingming rice that comes out of this way is naturally delicious." ”

Lin Jing sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect that just a rune could produce such a big effect. Lotus, you must study hard and don't live up to the expectations of the old fairy. ”

Xiao Qinghe nodded embarrassedly: "I will work hard." ”

Smelling such an attractive fragrance, Xiao Qinghe had another idea in his heart.

Originally, the mother and mother were ready to sell Qingming Ba, just like glutinous rice cakes, and people bought them back to fry them themselves.

But now the taste of Qingming rice fried is so fragrant, if it is fried and sold on the street, wouldn't it be more attractive?

"Mom, let's buy a stove and a pot."

"What do you buy that for?"

"Fry Qingming baba for sale! Mom, you think, our Qingming baba is so fragrant, if it is fried and sold in the vegetable market, people in the past smell the fragrance, can they still resist buying it? ”

Xiao Qinghe remembered some snack streets in his previous life, and the air was filled with the aroma of all kinds of food, which made people unable to walk as soon as they got close.

The fragrance of her family's Qingming rice fried is so domineering, these people in the eighties who have not experienced so many food bombardments in later generations absolutely can't resist such temptation!

After hearing this, Lin Jing was a little moved, but after thinking about the debts owed by the family, she still retreated: "A stove costs 30 yuan, a pot costs 5 yuan, and the family still owes more than 200 yuan, so you can't spend it indiscriminately." ”

"Mom, as the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, how can you say that it is a messy flower? In this way, Mom, tell me, how much are you going to sell for the raw Qingming Ba? ”

"Last year, glutinous rice was 2 cents and 9 pounds, and Qingming rice was ready to be sold for 6 cents a pound."

6 cents a pound?

Xiao Qinghe was simply drunk, fortunately she asked in advance, otherwise she would have lost a lot!

You must know that she soaked the glutinous rice with vitality water for more than ten days, and Qingming grass was also raised with vitality water for several days.

"Mom, we sell raw Qingming ba, we only earn 6 cents a catty, but if it is fried and sold, such a one can be sold for 5 cents! One pound of Qingming Ba, we can fry at least 30 of them, which is 1 yuan and 5 cents! 6 cents and 1 dollar 5, how do you choose? ”

Lin Jing listened to her daughter's calculation of this account, and was stunned: "5 cents a piece, will it be too expensive?" ”

"How can it be expensive? Vegetable buns cost 5 cents a piece, our Qingming Ba has also been fried in oil, if you count the raw materials alone, it is more expensive than vegetable buns, and it is already a loss to sell 5 cents. ”

Lin Jing was a little entangled: "But, what if no one buys it?" Wouldn't it be in vain to spend dozens of dollars on stoves and pots? ”
