Chapter 18 The first step to making a fortune

Fang Xiaoxiao instantly felt that she was about to get rich.

So she quickly picked a bamboo basket and planned to come back and do the experiment first. Now that you've cleaned up, it's ready to come in handy.

"Xiaoxiao, I've done everything you asked me to do, do I need to do anything?" After cutting the potato slices and mushrooms, Ling Yunzhuang asked.

"No, I can do the rest myself." Glancing out the window, and finding that it was not early, Fang Xiaoxiao thought of Sanya and Liu Qi'er, so she said to Ling Yunzhuang, "Otherwise, you go out to help Sanya, she will go to chop wood." It's getting late, and it's all inconvenient for my daughter's house. ”

Ling Yunzhuang nodded and went out. Only Liu Dong, Xiaobao and Ying Ying were left in the kitchen.

Everyone was quietly waiting for the next step after they had done the work in their hands, Xiaobao was also very curious, he and Yingying both of them asked Fang Xiaoxiao if there was anything else they needed to do.

Children always have the innocence of children, and the children of the poor are in charge of the house early. This is a truth that has remained unchanged since ancient times.

Don't look at Xiaobao and Yingying, they are relatively small, but they are also good at lighting fires. Fang Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to ruin their interest in vain, so he said, "I'll make something delicious later, but I need to light the fire now, if you two want to do it, help me light the fire!" ”

The two children nodded.

Fang Xiaoxiao originally planned to make grilled fish, but the family was too poor, and most of the materials needed were not available. After thinking about it, she had to make concise and capable steamed fish cakes.

After she has obtained a certain amount of start-up capital in exchange for steamed fish cakes, she is qualified to decide on the next step.

Fang Xiaoxiao skillfully killed the fish, removed the fish bones, cut the fish slices, and then chopped the pepper leaves and fish slices together to make fish paste. The seasoning next to it was ready, and she added some salt and spices to it. Liu Dong brought two eggs from Ah Niu's daughter-in-law, and Fang Xiaoxiao took out the potato starch that had been dried in the past few days and mixed them together.

She tasted the taste of raw fish.

Not bad, sashimi with a unique and refreshing aroma. Not only does it not taste any fishy smell, but it also has the smell of pear.

It may be that there is a pear tree on the top of the mountain, and the pear fell in the river and was eaten by the fish, which became one with the fish. It's just that this fish is so precious, but the villagers don't know it because of fear, Fang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but want to laugh, perhaps, this opportunity was really given to her by God.

As soon as the fish cakes came out of the pot, the whole room was filled with fragrance in an instant.

Ah Niu's daughter-in-law and Liu Lin each took a piece and put it in their mouths and chewed it slowly......

The fish is tender and fresh, and melts in your mouth. Because of the delicate chopping, and the addition of potato starch and eggs, it was then steamed into fish cakes. There is also a faint smell of pear, without any fishy smell, if you don't see the production process with your own eyes, others will never be able to taste that it will be fish.

Ling Yunzhuang, Liu Dong, Sanya, Liu Qi'er and the two little radish heads were all quietly watching the reactions of Liu Lin and Ah Niu's daughter-in-law.

They had already tasted the fish cakes when they first came out of the pan. Only Liu Lin and Ah Niu's daughter-in-law have not been able to take care of food because they are busy, plus the current Ling family, the biggest is the two of them, the fish cakes are to be sold, but they also have to ask for their consent.

"Bang-" With a sound, Liu Lin and Ah Niu's daughter-in-law put down their chopsticks at the same time.

"Xiaoxiao, this fish cake ......" Ah Niu's daughter-in-law bit her lip, "How did you make it?" I've never eaten anything so good, I didn't know it was so good......

"Sister-in-law, do you think it's okay to make it like this and sell it at the market?"

"Why not?! I look at those rich landlords and landlords, they have a lot of money, but they may not have eaten such delicious food. The Liulin clan echoed.

In the past, when she went with her man to help the landlord's family in the city, she worked in the kitchen herself. She had also eaten the leftovers of the so-called old men, and the taste was ...... How can this be?!

"Just smiling, have you figured out how to sell it?" Liu Lin asked, a solemnity in his eyes.

"Each of us caught a basket of fish, and these fish were calculated as 30 catties per basket, which is almost 150 catties. Half of it was made today, and after it was made into fish cakes, each piece only needed one or two bites, and more than 70 catties were about 700 pieces. I'm going to pay five dollars a penny, two cents and eleven dollars, so that after the sale, there will be about a hundred dollars. ”

For this day and age, a penny can buy a steamed bun and an egg. One hundred wen is one hundred steamed buns or eggs, and the peasant girl of the village family will only give twenty or thirty wen if she sews and repairs a hundred pieces of clothing. A strong man, working in the city, only has 300 wen a month. If these fish cakes can really be sold for 100 wen, it will really be pie in the sky for them.

"Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry for you." Liu Lin's eyes were full of tears, she used to look at Fang Xiaoxiao and pity, and helped her from time to time, but she didn't expect that after the change, she became the person she could only rely on, "Now there is nothing to do at home, let Xiaozhuang and Xiaodong go with you tomorrow, they can also protect you......"

Fang Xiaoxiao thought about it and nodded: "Auntie, sister-in-law, I don't need to let the two of them go, I will take Xiaodong tomorrow, Brother A Zhuang will help at home, and Liu Qi'er and Sanya will take care of Yingying and Xiaobao." By the way, sister-in-law, you can talk, you will go with us! ”

"What about me?" Liu Lin was a little anxious, "I won't do anything, or you guys, I'll find some work to mend clothes." ”

"Auntie, you can rest, and don't do laundry, if our fish cakes sell well, we will need a lot of you later!"

Fang Xiaoxiao thought very openly, if he could really make money, he would not be in a hurry at this time. At present, the most important thing is to recharge your energy. Everyone had no opinion on the division of labor, and everyone was full of confidence and ready to welcome the next day.

Early the next morning, Fang Xiaoxiao, Liu Dong and Ah Niu's daughter-in-law walked to the market. They got up very early, and when they arrived at the bazaar, it was just before dawn.

Along the way, the fish cakes were carried by Liu Dong alone. Fang Xiaoxiao and Ah Niu's daughter-in-law wanted to replace him countless times, but they were rejected again and again.

To be honest, Liu Dong is very satisfied with his current state. He used to feel like he was worthless, but now he was able to help his family, and he was happy.
