Chapter 45: 045 Kindness
Therefore, baking sweet potatoes in her heart has never been a job that can be done forever, but a job that can temporarily reassure her, her parents, and her children.
"If we don't reduce the price, how can we sell it." Xu Hu's face was full of sadness, these things were taken back, because they were all selected, and he was reluctant to feed the pigs, and if he ate them, his family would definitely not be able to eat them.
"Abba, don't worry, we can sell it." How can people do their best when they sell things cheaply? There is a saying that you get what you pay for. They sell cheaply, and I'm afraid they don't wash as carefully as hers.
The shadow of a man's name tree is called out by man. This kind of thing can't be faked.
On this day, Wanniang only sold three sweet potatoes and went home. Xu Hu and Xu Hong wanted to ask Wanniang to sell it at a lower price, but seeing Wanniang's resolute appearance, they didn't speak. I don't know why, they feel that after Wan'er came back this time, she has become a lot more assertive.
In fact, why doesn't Wan Niang feel sorry for these sweet potatoes? Although it didn't cost money to buy it, it was planted by Abba and the fourth brother, and they accompanied her to the town on their backs, so far away, and delayed their work for half a day.
Seeing that they had come back so early, Li guessed that they hadn't sold much, and she had also heard that two people in the village had made ovens and went to the town to sell roasted sweet potatoes. Originally, she just didn't agree with Wan Niang to give the oven and the method of roasting sweet potatoes to her uncle's house, but Wan Niang gave it without consulting them, and she couldn't say anything, so she just sighed, gave Xu Hu a hand, and took the oven off Xu Hu's back.
Wan Niang knew that Li felt uncomfortable when she saw it, and she herself was also uncomfortable. She took Xu Hong's back basket and carried it into the shed in the yard to build a kitchen. Take out all the sweet potatoes, peel off the cold sweet potato skin, throw the sweet potato flesh into the basin, stir it carefully, add sugar and flour while stirring, and then add the eggs.
While kneading the dough, Wan Niang looked at the roasted sweet potatoes in the back basket, and felt so uncomfortable that she died.
Li Shi saw Wanniang kneading the dough, and knew what Wanniang was going to do, she moved the basket containing the sweet potatoes to the side, and then began to wash the pot and burn the stove. Wan Niang divided the kneaded sweet potato dough into agents of equal size, then kneaded them into balls and flattened them. Lee's pot is already hot.
Wan Niang brushed the oil into the pot and put the sweet potato cake into the pot, only to hear the sound of sizzling and the fragrance wafting out.
Xu Hu sat in the hall and smoked a cigarette, and Xu Hong was silently checking the hoe and sickle on the side.
The two children knew that the roasted sweet potatoes were not sold this time, and they were also very uncomfortable. Wang Yu ran directly to Wan Niang's side, pulling Wan Niang's clothes and not speaking.
Wan Niang knew that her emotions would affect the child, so she squatted down with a smile, "Is Xiaoyu hungry?" Mom makes you sweet potato cakes to eat. ”
"Okay." Wang Yu responded obediently and looked at the cauldron. The sweet potato cake in the pan has been fried to a browned brown color and gives off an enticing aroma.
Wan Niang saw Wang Yu on her feet, her eyes only saw her thorns, her hair had grown a lot, always standing at the roots, Wan Niang poured some sailors from the gourd scoop, and shook it off, and then smeared Wang Yu's hair, so that the hair was soft and lay down.
Wan Niang fried more than a dozen flatbreads with two sweet potatoes, and Wang Yu helped carry the plate of sweet potato cakes into the house.
Wan Niang looked at the roasted sweet potatoes in the back basket and was worried, roasted sweet potatoes can't be stored for a long time, especially in summer, they are easy to spoil. But if you want to eat it, she must not be able to eat it all, she has already made sweet potato cakes, what else can she use it for?
"Don't worry, I stir these sweet potatoes with chaff and can be used to feed the chickens." Li put out the fire and comforted Wan Niang.
Wan Niang shook her head, "Sweet potatoes can't be stored for a long time, but if they are made into biscuit snacks, they can be stored for a long time." "But there is no oven here, so how can we make cookies?
That's right! Waffles! Also called muffins. Muffins can't be stored for a long time, but they can last longer than baked sweet potatoes.
As soon as she thought of it, Wan Niang began to peel the sweet potato skin and start making it.
In fact, the method is similar to that of fried sweet potato cakes, but instead of kneading into a dough, you can put less flour and more sweet potatoes, and stir the sweet potatoes, flour, sugar and oil together to form a uniform paste. Just as Li Shi turned off the fire, the oil in the pot had been sucked away by the fried sweet potato cake just now, and the pan was shiny with residual heat.
Wan Niang scooped a spoonful of sweet potato batter, put it in the pot, spread it into several round cakes of uniform size, and after a while, the batter slowly took shape.
Use the rest of the roasted sweet potatoes to make muffins, and stir the stove pit with sparks when the pan is not hot, and the residual heat will also allow it to slowly cook.
Li Shi took a piece to eat, smiled and nodded, "It's delicious, it's better than what is sold outside." ”
Wan Niang smiled, although she knew that Li was comforting herself, but this muffin looked really good, and she loved it very much, if she made such a beautiful thing in her previous life, she would definitely take out her mobile phone and take a picture of it and send it to a circle of friends. So she was also happy to listen to such compliments, and most of the depression of not selling sweet potatoes disappeared, and she finally felt a lot better.
At noon, I made fried sweet potato cakes and sweet potato muffins, and Li stopped cooking dry rice, cooked a pot of porridge, and grabbed a handful of pickles at home. The family ate cakes with pickles and drank porridge.
Xu Hu was relieved to see that Wanniang was no longer depressed on her face. After eating, he went to the ground as usual, and Xu Hong followed.
Although Wan Niang felt that there was nothing in her heart, as long as she thought that the three of them had done useless work all morning, she was still angry. I really don't know if I don't go back to this era, and it's really difficult to feed a family.
Wang Wenyao also knew that he didn't make any money today, and the real reason was that he had heard someone talk about it when he was helping people catch sparrows outside. He was so angry that Wan Niang was obviously kind enough to give the method of roasting sweet potatoes to the eldest grandfather and their family, but they reduced the price so that Wan Niang had no business, and now he couldn't make trouble for Wan Niang, so he must have to secretly teach some lessons to those people.
Wan Niang left a few muffins, so she packed the muffins in a plastic bag, and packed two more bags to avoid ventilation, so that she could put it for more time. She gave a few muffins to Wang Wenyao and Wang Yu, and the muffins were still delicious to make snacks.
Wang Yu also liked the taste of the muffins and put them away carefully.
Wan Niang looked at Wang Yu, the school has been on summer vacation during this time, and after this summer vacation, Wang Yu's hair can grow almost long, at least he can comb it. When the school starts, you can go to school.
But if you want to send your two children to school, you either have to move to the town, where there is a primary school and a junior high school, or you have to send Wenyao and Xiaoyu to a boarding school, which means that you have to send them farther away and spend more money. But the two children are still young, how dare she let the two children go to boarding school? In her previous life, her daughter went to boarding school, and she was not close to her at all, and she was so rebellious that she couldn't recognize her.
Thinking of this, Wan Niang had to plan well. Of the more than 1,000 yuan in her hand, 300 yuan must be returned to Xu Yan, and the tuition and textbook fees of the two children ......
