Chapter 33: Tortillas

"What are you two happy about, Qinghe told you about the lotus root? Or is it a purse thing? Look at you like this, hehe, but I was similar to you when I first found out. Luo Laotian saw Wang Guihua and Luo Qinghe hugging each other, and said with a smile.

"It's a purse made by Qinghe, and it sells for 80 wen, and one sells for 80 wen, it's really ...... I've never seen a purse that sells for so much money. Wang Guihua said.

"Haha, although I don't understand your woman's work, but I also know the general price on the market, when the second daughter-in-law told me before, I was also shocked, Qinghe is really capable, I didn't expect the female celebrity to be so good." Luo Laotian praised vigorously.

"I didn't expect to be able to sell so much, the shopkeeper of the Splendid Cloth Village, Mrs. Li, was very good and gave a high price." Luo Qinghe said, "I also sold us two large bamboo baskets of cloth, most of which are cotton and satin corners, only charged us five yuan, and also gave embroidery thread, saying that in the future, I will make a purse, and she will accept all the good workmanship, the coarse cloth is still eighty wen, the cotton one is one hundred wen, and the silk one hundred and twenty wen." ”

Luo Laotian and Wang Guihua opened their mouths and stared at each other in unison.

"Qinghe, female celebrity is a skill, it's a good thing, but you must not ignore your eyes in order to make more money, but I have heard a lot of such things, many women make female celebrities to make money, day and night, their eyes are not good, serious and blind, you can keep in mind, I will also let Xiao He stare at you." Wang Guihua said with a serious expression.

"Milk say more, you are still young, and when you get married in the future, you have to take care of yourself, you have to hide some, if your in-laws are not considerate, but if you suffer a little grievance, come back and tell us, your mother's family will give you a head." Wang Guihua said seriously.

Luo Qinghe smiled and nodded.

"Okay, how old is the child, it's an opportunity to teach slowly in the future, now cook quickly, I'm hungry." Luo Laotian changed the topic with a smile.

"A lot of people are still thinking about eating when they are old." Wang Guihua scolded with a smile, divided the corn dough into small pieces, flattened it into a circle, opened the lid of the pot for cooking, and began to paste the cake on the edge of the pot.

By the time the lid was lifted again, the tortillas had swelled a little and the bottom was still a little burnt.

"The tortillas smell of oil, they smell so good." Luo Qinghe watched from the sidelines, twitching his nose and sniffing.

When the tortilla was cooked, Wang Guihua hurriedly took it off, turned her left and right hands upside down a few times, reached out and tore a piece, and stuffed it into Luo Qinghe's mouth, "How does it taste?" ”

"It's delicious." Luo Qinghe gave a thumbs up, chewing in his mouth, this is the staple food.

Wang Guihua smiled and put the cooked corn tortillas into a clean wooden basin, and then began to paste the second round.

"Mother, we're back after washing, wow, it's so fragrant." Luo Jiashu carried two pig's trotters, and when he smelled the fragrance, he hurriedly came to Wang Guihua's side, "The corn tortillas made of milk are delicious, I haven't eaten them for a long time." ”

Wang Guihua glared at her second grandson, tore off a piece, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"It's still as delicious as ever." Luo Jiashu nodded and chewed, "I've almost forgotten the taste, I have to eat a full meal today." ”

"I can't stop your mouth after eating, really, give the pig's trotters to your mother." Wang Guihua scolded with a smile.

"The eldest daughter-in-law, stew a pig's trotter, I am happy today, I will have a luxury, and when the pig's trotters are cooked, everyone will share them, and the other three will be pickled and stewed for the daughter-in-law of Jiadi to eat." Wang Guihua said.

"Okay mother." Liu Lan lit another stove on fire, and Luo Jiadi had already picked up a kitchen knife to chop the pig's trotters into pieces.

Liu Lan put the pig's trotters into the pot, scooped four scoops of water, added salt, covered the lid and stewed.

"It's time to eat." Wang Guihua shouted, and the whole family gathered, after all, today is a rare and sumptuous meal.

A large pot of corn stickers, a large pot of mixed vegetables, because of the braised pork and meatballs, the whole pot of stewed miscellaneous vegetables is fresh and makes people swallow their tongues.

"Wow, it's delicious." Luo Jiashu sandwiched a pair of chopsticks and wild vegetables, "Sure enough, the mustard greens burned in the gravy soup are also delicious." ”

Wang Guihua wanted to divide the red roast meat and meatballs, but Luo Laotian didn't ask for them when he went to the town, so Wang Guihua and Liu Lan stayed at home and divided them equally.

"Mother, the lunch we had in Tianfeng Building, these are all leftovers from noon, Shopkeeper Shen is kind-hearted, let us pack it and bring it back." Luo Yougen said.

"Lunch at Tianfeng Tower?" Wang Guihua was taken aback.

"Well, Shopkeeper Shen will leave us to eat." Luo Laotian smiled and said, "The lotus root is a rare thing, Shen shopkeeper knows, said that he was fortunate to eat once before, at noon, Qinghe made four dishes with lotus root, Shen shopkeeper is very satisfied, well, this is today's silver money, rice is a pound of eight wen, bought five catties; One pound of cornmeal and five wen, I bought twenty pounds; I bought two catties of coarse salt, twenty-eight wen, and spent a total of one hundred and sixty-eight wen, which is the remaining nine taels and eight hundred and thirty-two wen. ”

"How much? Nine taels and eight hundred and thirty-two texts? Do I have a hearing errand? The chopsticks in Wang Guihua's hand fell on the table.

Not only Wang Guihua, but Liu Lan and the few people who stayed at home all gasped.

"Hahaha, I was in Tianfeng Building at the time, and I was like this, or we Qinghe was calm." Luo Laotian looked at Luo Qinghe with appreciation and boasted, "Originally, we said that the lotus root would be sold for twenty wen a catty, and when Qinghe said it, he directly bargained for thirty wen a catty, but at that time it scared me, I thought that the shopkeeper Shen knew the lotus root and couldn't sell it at a high price, but I didn't expect that the price of thirty wen a catty would be collected without paying it back." ”

"By the way, Qinghe, why did you temporarily change the price to thirty wen a catty? Do you think Tianfeng Building will definitely accept it?" Luo Laotian asked curiously.

"Huh." Luo Qinghe was a little embarrassed, but he still told the truth, "I wanted to compare twenty wen, but as soon as I made a move, it became three fingers, and I was shocked when I heard the price of the shopkeeper Shen, but the shopkeeper Shen agreed, of course I immediately answered, the higher the price, the more beneficial it is for us." ”

Luo Laotian and the others were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then laughed, "I didn't expect it to be like this, haha." ”

Wang Guihua lowered her head and carefully poured out the silver in the money bag, counted it carefully, laughed while counting, and in the end, her happy mouth couldn't close, "That lotus root is so valuable, no, even if it is thirty wen a catty, it can't be sold for ten taels of silver." ”

"The four dishes made by Qinghe, the shopkeeper Shen paid five taels of silver to buy the recipe, as well as the pheasant and rabbit, and they were also given a higher price than the market, a total of ten taels of silver." Luo Laotian explained.

"The four-course recipe sold for five taels of silver." Wang Guihua was surprised and couldn't believe it, "Is it really that delicious?" ”
