Chapter 95: Fragrant Cakes
Sister Qiu beat six red eggs into the shredded gourd and flour, cut the thin green onion flowers, and put the secret seasoning when she made the marinade, added water and mixed well, and when the pan was hot, she poured the batter on, and the side of the batter that touched the pot was very hard, and then turned over and fried the other side, and the rich fragrance of the pancakes drifted far away.
When a pancake was cooked, Sister Qiu tore it open from the middle, put it in the bowl and handed it to the big seal that burned the fire on one side, and gave the other half to Jia's family, "You two taste it first, see if it's delicious?" ”
The aroma of the pancake was all about to be ticked out, and he took the bowl, and he quickly ate a few bites, but the pancake was hot, and he couldn't stop fanning the cool air into his mouth, and he desperately shouted: "It's delicious, it's so delicious!" ”
Jia Shi blew the pancakes, and only ate them slowly when they were not so hot, tasting the taste, looking at Sister Qiu's skillful pancakes, she was a little trance, and she complained a little about herself, her daughter was too good at drying, and she was very useless as a mother. If it weren't for Sister Qiu, she would still be working as a cow and a horse for Lao Mei's family, and she would be frightened all day long, so she was afraid that where would Tianmao's call a human trafficker to sell Sister Qiu, where would there be a comfortable life now? The little money is earning, the good food is eaten, and she is not angry, where did she dare to think of such a day before.
It must be God's disadvantage to treat herself, giving her such a smart and capable daughter. Looking back on the old days, Jia Shi felt more and more that his daughter was smart, and there were countless fresh ideas in his cerebellum. Don't talk about making water tofu and bean curd, just this simple cooking, Sister Qiu can come up with a lot of fresh dishes, Jia's has made a lifetime of cooking, and there are not as many flowers that Sister Qiu has poured out these days. Like the fried hanging gourd cake tonight, Jia's can't figure it out, the hanging gourd in the previous family, if it is not fried and eaten, or if it is not boiled and eaten when it is old, I never thought that it could be spread pancakes.
Realizing that the Jia family had always been looking at herself, Sister Qiu raised her eyes and glanced at the Jia family and asked, "What's wrong?" Salty or not? If it's not salty, I'll put some salt. "The farmer's taste is heavy, he likes to eat salty, and he sweats a day after harvesting wheat, and he also adds some salt.
Jia Shi shook his head, "No need, this salty taste is just right!" ”
Sister Qiu nodded, pursed her lips and smiled, if the dinner was too salty, she would quench her thirst by eating cold water in the middle of the night. "Then mother, what are you looking at me desperately? I also think that the pancakes are not salty and not delicious! ”
Jia Shi stroked the broken hair between his ears, smiled and said, "Look what you can do!" My daughter is capable, how many things have been saved for me, and I am happy in my heart! I can't think of this kind of pancake, it's delicious! ”
Sister Qiu chuckled slightly in her heart, Jia never doubted her, or never thought that her beloved daughter's body was still there, but it was changed, in the end, this kind of thing is too unbelievable, and Jia is just an honest village woman who has no heart. Previously, she proposed the method of making water tofu and bean curd, and at that time, the family was in urgent need of financial resources, but then the idea was on the right track, and the family was very busy, and Jia did not have time to consider these problems.
How can a girl who is not valued by the banker know so many things?
Now that she is free, Jia is only happy that her daughter is capable. Sister Qiu is really glad that she was born in the countryside by herself, if her soul penetrates to the rich and noble's house, and everyone around her is like a human spirit, then she, who wants to catch people's emotional intelligence, can only clamp her tail to pretend to be a fool, and she can't do anything.
"Isn't it a good thing to be capable?" Da Yin on the side shouted, "Auntie and I can just eat!" ”
This snack is all about eating! Sister Qiu couldn't help laughing.
The fried hanging gourd cake was folded in half by Sister Qiu, rested in a bamboo basket, and covered with a cage cloth to keep warm. Outside, the sun was already setting, and the daylight shone through the broken windows of the kitchen, and in a few golden pillars of light, you could see the hot aroma coming out of the cage cloth and dissipating into the air.
Outside, the sun was already close to the horizon, turning orange-red, and the chimneys of the croppers almost covered by the lush trees were all floating in the chimneys of every house, the porridge boiled in the cauldron was gurgling, and the Jia family was stir-frying the evening dishes in the small pot, and the smell of the vegetables and pancakes was mixed with the smell of cooking smoke, constituting a unique flavor for the crop households.
It's actually good to be here, Sister Qiu preaches to herself, relying on her own palms to live a very happy life, there is a mother who is full of heart for her, and Junxiu Wennong's big brother next door, although it is not as convenient as life in the 21st century, but she feels very beautiful and very comfortable.
Dayin said to Sister Qiu while lighting the fire: "Sister Qiu, when I just went home to pick hanging melons, I saw that Aunt Mei was also at home, and she definitely didn't go to work in the fields in the afternoon. ”
"Let's leave her alone." Sister Qiu shook her hand, she didn't want to get involved in the Mei family's affairs.
In ancient times, where was the pregnant woman of the Zhuang family as expensive as in the 21st century, and the people around the first child still valued it a little, in the end, the woman gave birth and so on so she stepped into the door of the underworld, but it was like Aunt Mei'er who gave birth to the fourth child, and there was basically no danger. Farming is the most critical time of the year, and most pregnant women also have to work in the fields.
But Aunt Mei's family is not an ordinary person, at least in her own eyes, she is expensive, noble, and a hero who left a legacy for the Mei family.
Da Yin nodded and said, "Last night and this morning, I heard Grandma Mei quarrel with Aunt Mei again. ”
Jia sighed, now the two women of the Mei family are not the masters who are willing to suffer, they will tear their faces after the first quarrel, and there will be countless fights in the future, the Mao family and the second aunt Mei are all thick-skinned, and they are not afraid of knowing those things in the village to the people in the village. Jia asked: "It's all about to harvest wheat, what are you arguing about?" ”
"Grandma Mei wants Aunt Mei to go to the ground, but Aunt Mei is not happy!" Dayin preached, like a little adult, and analyzed: "When I left, there was no noise at all in their house, and Aunt Mei definitely hadn't cooked yet, I guess it's still noisy tonight!" ”
Sister Qiu Heng, quarrel and quarrel, wicked
There is a wicked mill for the wicked! Their family happily fell in love and killed each other in the future, and it had nothing to do with them. It's just that what Jia said today is reasonable, in the end, it is an elder, and it can't be said if the Tao is broken, so it is okay to give some gifts for the New Year's festival in the future, and live with face.
The servants waited for a while, and saw that the sun was about to set, and Lin Zhun's family had not yet come, so Da Yin couldn't hold back, so he ran to urge the family to finish work and eat. This Gongfuzi came back with the burden, and before he entered the door, he shouted loudly: "Auntie, Sister Qiu, I'm back!" ”
Just by listening to the sound, you can experience the joy and joy of Fuzi.
Sister Qiu hurriedly ran out of the house, and first looked at the two burdens, one burden was empty, resting on the scale, and there were two pieces of water tofu on the other burden.
"All sold out?" Sister Qiu asked with a smile.
Fuzi nodded hurriedly, put down his burden and ran to the bucket by the well, filled the bucket with water to eat, and after eating a few bowls before stopping, wiped the water on his lips, and said: "I have been eating and selling water and tofu all the way, but I am thirsty." The water tofu is basically all sold, and there are still two pieces left, so I haven't sold them, and I'm going to take them home later and add a dish to my family. A lot of people want me to go back tomorrow, and they still have to buy it! ”
As he spoke, Fuzi took out the money bag from his arms, counted one hundred and twenty copper plates, gave them to Sister Qiu, smiled mellowly, and asked, "Sister Qiu, is it one hundred and twenty copper plates?" You count and see if you're right. ”
Sister Qiu took the money, and she didn't count it, there is no need to be suspicious of employing people, it is difficult to make money, Fuzi should not be playing tricks on this. Sister Qiu took out four copper plates and gave them to Fuzi, and said with a smile: "Brother Fuzi did business on the first day, and he worked hard, these two pieces of water tofu are counted as the ones I invited Uncle Shun and his aunt to eat." ”
Fuzi immediately shook his hand, "Where is this?" If it weren't for Sister Qiu, you would be willing to do this business for me, where would I be able to earn thirty or forty copper plates a day? You can't, you can't. ”
Jia Shi rushed over and pushed the money to Fuzi, and said with a smile: "Let's cooperate on the first day, pay attention to auspiciousness, take it!" He urged Fuzi to hurry back, "It's not too early, hurry home, your father and mother are definitely worried!" ”
After Fuzi left, Jia's heart was calculating the account, a city of catties of beans can produce three catties of water tofu, plus firewood or something, a city of catties of water tofu is about a penny, wholesale to Fuzi Although they do not earn as much as they sell themselves, it is better to be convenient and worry-free, and they can earn money without leaving home, today they earned forty Wen, but compared to doing business in the bazaar, this money is a little less.
"It's convenient to earn this money, but it's better to earn more by selling water tofu by yourself, and Fuzi has a lot of flowers this time, and it's been more than two hours since he went out." Jia concluded.
Sister Qiu nodded and said, "I'll earn a hard money." It's just that when we make more water tofu, we will earn more, if we can make three or four hundred pounds of water tofu a day, find seven or eight people, and one person will divide fifty or sixty pounds, it will be much better. ”
Jia Shi was a little surprised, "Three or four hundred catties of water tofu? Well, where are we?
Come here! ”
"We can't do it, we can hire someone to do it!" Sister Qiu said with a smile, "When we pay off our debts, we will build a water tofu workshop." Brother Fuzi can only transfer a few villages, if we hire a few more people and transfer a few more villages, we will definitely sell more. Our water tofu is delicious, and if the signboard is out, you won't have to worry about not being able to sell it. ”
As early as when the family first started selling water tofu, Sister Qiu mentioned to Jia Shi about building a workshop, but Jia didn't put it in her heart, and now she has been doing business for so long, and her vision has been opened, and after careful consideration, it is really necessary to build a workshop.
