108 Bread, Buying and Selling, Eating the Bitter Fruit
The courage is also great! ”
The daughter-in-law immediately pulled out her voice, she looked flustered, and her hand inadvertently grabbed the corner of the hem.
Luo was silent, undecided.
It's not that she thinks that Que Rong will definitely not be able to make instant noodles, but she is worried that once the business of supplying the army is involved, there will be no peace in Kushui Township in the future. Quality problems, faults, and even unsatisfactory taste and quantity can become disasters!
Xiucai can't explain why he meets soldiers, how can they, the peasant people, fight against the soldiers and oil riffraff?
With frowning eyebrows, Luo Shi said lightly:
"Erkui, you have to listen to your mother about this, since Que Rong has taken this order, and plans to make it up by himself, he must ask someone to help, you borrow Tuo Ming to go to Liangzhou Mansion to pull a car to send off passengers, and if you help, you will push it all the times, don't get involved in a little relationship, understand?"
Erkui pursed his lips, his face was not very good, and he wanted to say a few good words for Que Rong, but when he saw his daughter-in-law throwing it over with a roll of his eyes, he had to lower his head and agree.
"I'll go find my sister-in-law and daughter-in-law immediately, so that they know what's at stake!"
The daughter-in-law rubbed her hands, her eyes full of worry.
Luo Shi pressed her hand and persuaded: "She wants to swallow the elephant in one bite, and it's none of our business to break her stomach, the Qian family and the Zhuzi family are all crazy people who want silver, you are so anxious to persuade with a white face, but it is a bad thing, and you have a reputation of red eyes and jealousy."
After a pause, he continued: "We have to protect our family, she doesn't run if she has a good day, she has to do business on the knife, you and I can't persuade her!" ”
There are no eggs under the nest, the banyan eats and hangs, and the entire bitter water town is afraid that it will be implicated, and Luo Shi is worried - whether the banyan can hand in the instant noodles on time, she still has to leave a way back for herself.
"So what do we do now? Burn incense and worship the Buddha, begging the daughter-in-law of Shanzi to hand over the number? ”
Shaking his head, Luo Shi squeezed out a smile and said:
"Let's step up the business of Liangzhou shops, and after stabilizing the input, we will rent a yard in Liangzhou City, which is really wrong, and it is good to have a place to hide."
"Really...... Is it really that serious? ”
The daughter-in-law was frightened by Luo Shi's words, and the countrymen relocated to the land, and no one would leave the family's homestead and take refuge elsewhere until it was absolutely necessary.
Luo Shi sighed secretly:
"I don't know, I'm just planning for the worst, according to my estimates, the number of bread for the army to march and fight will not be less, let alone 5,000 to start, in order to deliver on time, she will definitely hire the idle women in the village to help, her business alone, but it has become the work of a village, if something really happens, who will avoid being implicated? And the martial artists are ruthless, they don't reason with the government, and they are surrounded by knives, axes and arrows, what can we eat with our bare hands? ”
Hearing Luo Shi say this, Er Kui also faintly worried, and the young man's eyebrows were locked, thinking to himself.
The daughter-in-law sighed worriedly, while chattering that the daughter-in-law of Shanzi is a person who can come to things, and on the other hand, she plans to go to Liangzhou Mansion in two days and sum up the matter of renting the hospital.
The two families dispersed, and Rashi and Shengzi walked home together.
After a delay in talking, most of the people in the village finished eating, wrapped in cotton clothes and felt hats, and stood outside the courtyard chatting and eating.
Along the way, Luo Shi pricked up her ears and listened to a few words, and also greeted her back.
I learned that Que Rong had hired a large number of women to work in the village to make instant noodles together, and her salary was also very high, except for those who had to plough the land in the spring and couldn't go, the rest of the people were willing to earn this wage, and I heard that they were also in charge of a meal.
Everyone's faces were full of joy, a posture of eagerness to try, and they all praised the ficus for their ability, good heart, and their own business was rich, and they did not forget to take the people in the village to earn silver together.
When Luo Shi was asked if she wanted to go, she only smiled and explained: Her body is heavy, she can't do work, and she can only make money with everyone.
One less to grab a job, they are naturally happy, busy reassuring Luo Shi don't worry, saying that the Que Rong family has received a long-term order, and they can still come to work after giving birth to a child.
Saying goodbye to the neighbors of the village, Luo Shi walked with her head down, and said secretly in her heart:
With such fanfare, could it be that Finberry has already studied the method of dough cakes?
*
By February, the second dragon raised its head, spring returned to the earth, the greenery was melting, and the instant bread had been in a hurry for more than half a month.
During this period, Luo Shi also secretly went to the courtyard of Que Rong's house to see the situation.
Since she started the workshop of spicy dishes and instant noodles, she specially invited someone to expand the courtyard wall, wrapped a piece of land for the boss to enter the hospital, and then asked the shed craftsman to support the canopy in situ, in order to prevent wind and rain, but also laid a layer of grass.
There are a bunch of wattle baskets, large and small baskets, dustpans, well water willow jars, cabinets with sieve, and all kinds of eye-catching wooden pots and tiles, and jars and jars for pickles.
Every woman who comes to work has a division of labor, one radish and one pit, and the efficiency is very good.
On February 2nd, there are still ten days before the delivery date, and I heard that most of the goods to be handed over have been completed!
This news is spreading to everyone in the village, although the daughter-in-law has found a simple three-courtyard house in Liangzhou, but when she heard the news, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She doesn't envy Que Rong for making a lot of money, as long as her family is stable and her family is safe, she is very content.
But Luo Shi is still worried, she doesn't know if the banyan is hiding a hand, just look at the workshop assembly line in the workshop, the instant pastry she developed, but it is drained in boiling water, and then fried and exposed to the sun, and it is not sent to the oven to simmer the water again-
The dough cake made by Luo Shi in Tongzhou was borrowed from the roast duck oven of Guangheju, and the experience of heat and time after many failures was used to dry the dough.
If the banyan is only fried in oil, I am afraid that it will not last long.
On this day, she was stir-frying crispy broad beans at home - the first batch of chili fried broad beans in the first month of the first month, and her daughter-in-law pulled a cart and took it to Liangzhou City to sell.
Tuk-tuk
There was a knock at the door.
Shengzi put down the work of packing up the raw skins in his hand, and strode to open the door for the visitor.
"Shengzi daughter-in-law!"
Manchu's daughter-in-law had just returned from Liangzhou City, and only after entering the village and getting off the ox cart, she heard a bad news, she had no master, and she was at a loss, so she had to come to Luo Shi to discuss.
"Aunt Cuiying? Have you returned from Liangzhou City? I'll only come to me if you want to eat at home, so it's okay, I'll cook, and you can eat at my house."
Luo Shi untied his body, fried the fragrant broad beans out of the pot, served them in a small basket, and rested them on the wooden shelves in the courtyard.
"Oh, how can you have the heart to eat, I just heard the news - instant noodle workshop, something happened!"
In the second half of the sentence, the daughter-in-law lowered her voice, she grabbed Luo Shi's arm and dragged the person to the house.
Closing the door of the house, the two sat on the kang, and before they had time to drink the water handed by Rashi, they hurriedly said:
"I just heard that the dough of the Banyan family has come out! Although she and Tongzhou sell similar appearances, but people don't see any damage for a month or two, why is it moldy in less than half a month? ”
When Luo Shi heard this, her eyes darkened, and she pursed her lips and asked:
"How much mold?"
"A small half, most of the front fried dough cakes, although the back is not moldy, but it can last for a few days, you said that it will be delivered in a few days, this, this is not a bad dish! If something really happened, I don't know if the Green Camp will always be to blame? ”
Manchu's daughter-in-law began to admire Luo Shi's precautions, if she hadn't left a way back before, she would have panicked to death now.
Luo Xi sneered in her heart, sure enough, Que Rong thought too highly of herself, thinking that she could see through the practice of instant noodles, her heart was higher than the sky, and she didn't weigh it to make money, and she should suffer the bitter fruit this time.
The army is implicated in the crime, but the other people who have just suffered for her to work will also be unlucky.
"You and I don't get involved, pack up our things in a few days, go to Liangzhou City to avoid the limelight, even if we are scoundrels, we can't afford to provoke it, and we can still afford to hide, and then come back when this matter stops."
Luo Shi lifted the teapot, turned over a mouthful of coarse porcelain cup, poured herself a cup of melon slices, and moistened her itchy throat.
"Hey, you said that others sell a lot of money, after all, it is their own secret recipe ability, otherwise how can it be left for so long without breaking? It's just fried, and people won't sell it so expensive."
The daughter-in-law warmed the cup in his hand and said with emotion.
Luo Shi had a dull expression on his face, and took a mouthful:
"Frying is also for draining, if you want to keep it for a longer time, it's either dry or salty, she missed a step, and she hasn't figured it out yet."
Manchu's daughter-in-law was thoughtful, and wanted to say that Luo Shi was also from Tongzhou, and she was very familiar with the instant noodles, and when she said this, it seemed that she knew which step was missing.
When the words came to my mouth, I thought about it wrong, but I still didn't ask. The daughter-in-law knows that Luo is lonely, not to mention that she has such a grudge with Que Rong, even if she doesn't, she may not want to help.
After thinking about it, I finally gave up, and only said:
"Anyway, now Shanzi's family is crying and grabbing the ground, Shanzi and her mother, she has the heart to kill the banyan tree, you and I will go now, maybe you can still see the excitement."
"Adding fuel to the fire, I still won't go, so as not to accidentally hurt the doll in the belly, it's not worth it, don't go, auntie, just hang it high, she poked out the basket and told her to solve it herself"
"Eh, okay, I made a note of it"
Just as the daughter-in-law was about to say goodbye and return home, suddenly the voice of Shengzi sounded outside the window:
"You, why are you listening to the root of the wall!"
Luo Shi and the daughter-in-law immediately turned their heads to look-
Seeing that there was a figure outside the Dongchang paper in the kang window, looking at the figure, it turned out to be Erkui? !
Without waiting for Luo Shi to chase out the door, Shengzi had already carried Erkui's steps into the house, his face was gloomy, obviously very unhappy with Erkui's behavior, how could he peek at his daughter-in-law's house, he didn't dare to do this.
Erkui knew that he was ashamed, but he was in a hurry, and he couldn't care about so much for a while!
He shrugged his shoulders, broke free of Shengzi's hand, rushed to Luo Shi quickly, took her arm, and said earnestly:
"Sister, do you know how to make instant noodles? Please, help Sister Querong! If she can't hand over the goods, she will be killed! ”
