Chapter 20: Business is booming
Seeing Cheng Yan supporting herself so much, she was also very touched in her heart.
She took the only money she had left in the family and went to the town to buy the ingredients for the cake, and the rest of the money bought some pots and pans for the family, as well as daily necessities that must be used.
When she got married, the things in Cheng Yan's house should either be thrown away, or they couldn't be used, she will use them these days, and it has come to the time when she can't do it anymore, so she just took advantage of this time to change it all.
She almost didn't take it home with a big bag, but thanks to Aunt Ma who met the east end of the village on the way and sent it back to her.
put the things away and brought a bowl of water to Aunt Ma, Aunt Ma nodded with a smile: "Girl, you have a big bag and a small bag, I see that you have also bought some flour, are you going to make a cake again?" ”
Last time at the birthday banquet, Aunt Ma went to the party, Min Wanwan made cakes and became famous, she knew it clearly, and she was looking forward to eating the cake made by Min Wanwan again.
Min Wanwan was not ambiguous, and nodded: "Yes, I'm going to make some and sell them in the town, and when the time comes, I'll send a piece to my aunt first." ”
Seeing that Min Wanwan was not stingy at all, Aunt Ma was simply happy: "Okay, when will you use goat's milk again, you just have to tell me, as much as you want, just give your aunt a piece of cake." ”
"Hey, what's this, when it's done, I'll send it to my aunt first."
Aunt Ma smiled from ear to ear, the two sat in the courtyard, chatting for a long time, Min Wanwan then remembered that there was something that really had to ask Aunt Ma.
"Auntie, do you know that there are wild fruits around our village?"
When she went to the town to buy materials, she thought about buying some fruit and making fruit cakes, but the fruit was too expensive, and the money in her hand had to be used to buy some things, but fortunately she didn't buy it.
On the way back, she saw a few trees growing small and small wild fruits at the entrance of the village, so she thought of using these to make fruit cakes.
Aunt Ma thought for a while, and hurriedly nodded: "I remember that on the mountain not far from our village, there are red sweets!" The taste is crunchy and sweet, and it is very delicious, just like dates. ”
Min Wanwan's interest came immediately, she hurriedly took Aunt Ma's hand and said with a smile: "Auntie, otherwise, if you take me there, you will pick the red sweet seeds at noon, and you will stay with me to eat, you also know my craftsmanship, and you will definitely not let you go hungry." ”
After all, Aunt Ma must be very familiar with the road on this mountain, if she goes to find it by herself, not to mention whether she can find it in the barren mountains and mountains, it is also a question whether she can come back.
In the previous life, she was also a road idiot.
Aunt Ma also nodded unequivocally, with such a good thing, how could she refuse.
The two of them didn't wait, took the basket and walked up the mountain, and soon followed Aunt Ma to find the place where she said, where there were red sweets.
Sure enough, looking at the large piece of red sweetness in front of her, Min Wanwan was very happy, and hurriedly put down the basket and picked it up.
With Aunt Ma's help, I quickly picked a basket of red sweets.
When I was going down the mountain, I saw some very tender wild vegetables growing on the side of the road, so I picked a few bundles with Aunt Ma.
When she got home, Aunt Ma helped wash the red sweets, so she rolled up her sleeves and removed the roots of the wild vegetables picked in the basket, and removed the old leaves, leaving only the tender tips to wash carefully in the water a few times.
Wild vegetables are a precious thing in the mountains, although it is said that the people in the village do not eat much, but as long as they are cooked, they will be very delicious.
After washing the vegetables, I brought them to the stove, blanched the wild vegetables in hot water a few times, fished them out, and put them in the water next to them.
"There are also people who do this kind of dish, I have never heard of this wild vegetable being eaten like this."
After tasting Min Wanwan's craftsmanship, Aunt Ma will not question whether this dish will be delicious, and she is also looking forward to it.
Min Wanwan made the fire smaller, carefully took out a small egg, grabbed a handful of flour, kneaded the wild vegetables, and then beat the eggs in a bowl and carefully wrapped the wild vegetables, added a small spoon of salt, and seasoned.
Aunt Ma helped to add firewood on the side and make the fire prosperous, Min Wanwan poured oil into the pot, and it sounded in an instant, she took the wrapped wild vegetables, and slowly arrived in the pot, and the fragrance came to her nose in an instant, so that Aunt Ma, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Although it is a wild vegetable, she has never seen this kind of practice, so when the wild vegetables are fried, the unique fragrance will immediately emanate, and the relatives will be snostrilous.
For a while, the whole yard was filled with the scent of wild vegetables.
It didn't take long for a pot of fragrant wild vegetables to be fried, and I slipped away the morning's vigorous head and ate it while the wild vegetables were eaten.
Aunt Ma ate so fragrantly, her mouth was stuffed, and she couldn't help but admire: "Cheng Yan, you kid is really blessed, marry a daughter-in-law with such good skills!" ”
Looking at Cheng Yan, who was lying on the kang with half of her body, Aunt Ma was also a little upset for Min Wanwan in her heart, such a good girl was really crippled to marry this, and the rest of her life was really ruined.
If Aunt Ma said this, Min Wanwan specified that she would not have any more dealings with Aunt Ma.
After eating and sending Aunt Ma away, she immediately began to pick up the ingredients for making cakes, washed and worked for a while.
She carefully counted the remaining eggs in the basket, and used up a lot of eggs for a while, and the remaining eggs were barely enough to make a few cakes, but it was enough to sell them in the town, as long as she had money, she could buy eggs.
The work of beating eggs was still handed over to Cheng Yan, and when she went to the town, she deliberately went to the steel factory to let the family cast a medium-sized stove, after all, she will rely on this to eat in the future, and she can't save it, and the small stove at home can't bake much at a time.
I pinched the red sweets in a basin, and tasted it, and it tasted very sweet, and it was crispy and juicy, which was perfect for making fruit cakes.
This time, she also deliberately improved the cake a lot, grabbed some red sweets and squeezed out the red juice, and put them in the flour to add color to the cake, which made people look more appetizing.
It didn't take long for the two of them to be busy, and finally made four cakes, on which she was decorated with some red sweets to look very attractive.
By this time, it was almost dark, and even if the cake was made, it was not realistic to sell it in town.
Min Wanwan touched her chin, thought for a while, picked out two small cakes from it, put them in the basket and explained a few words to Cheng Yan before going out.
Carrying the basket, he first came to Aunt Ma's house in the east of the village.
"Auntie, I will bring you a piece of the freshly made cake, I will go to the town tomorrow to sell it, and come over to cheer me up when the time comes."
"Hey, good girl, Ming'er will definitely come over to cheer you on."
Carrying the remaining piece of cake to the door of Fang's house, before he knocked on the door, he saw Dr. Fang walking out of it.
"Girl, where are you going?"
I saw that Dr. Fang was carrying a medicine box on his back, as if he was going to see a doctor somewhere.
