Chapter 38: Capable Qu Xiaobai
"Auntie! My name is Qu Xiaobai, you can call me Xiaobai, if there is anything at home in the future, you can call me, I can do anything. "Qu Xiaobai is very dog-legged, this is human nature, if you don't even feel a little grateful for helping you, I'm afraid no one will be happy.
"You just call me Aunt Osmanthus, but my aunt's house is a little broken, don't dislike it. It's all people in distress who can take a hand, and they must take a hand, okay at this point, my aunt doesn't cook, so you hurry up and stew the pigeons. "Aunt Osmanthus is reasonable.
Xiaobai saw that the room was indeed a little broken, it turned out to be a utility room or something, there were ashes and cobwebs everywhere, but there was a kang, although the mat was broken, but it could still sleep.
Xiaobai immediately rolled up his sleeves and went out to fetch a basin of water, sprinkled water everywhere in the house, and then took a broom and began to clean, roughly sweeping out the large noodles, then fetching water, taking a cloth and starting to wipe everywhere. Aunt Osmanthus looked at this busy little figure, shook her head and went back to her house to get busy.
When she was chatting with this child just now, she knew that this child's family was so difficult, and then she stopped this child with such excitement, but she saw that this child was a neat person, and he was not lazy to work.
Xiaobai cleaned up the house, Aunt Osmanthus hugged her two quilts, the weather is still hot, this quilt can be both laid and covered, Xiaobai is grateful again and again.
When I arrived at the stove room, there were two stoves on the stove, one large pot and one small pot, and Xiaobai cleaned up the pigeons and washed them. Stewed with soup, there are not so many seasonings to use these days, and besides, this is the family of Aunt Osmanthus, even if there are seasonings, she is embarrassed to use them. Thinking about it for a while, I went to the market to buy some spices, rice and noodles or something, he and Uncle Shuitang were going to eat, and I could cook some delicious meals for his father.
Xiaobai first asked Aunt Osmanthus to inquire about the place to pick up firewood, just on the mountain behind, because Aunt Osmanthus raised pigeons, many people thought pigeons stink, so this place where her family lived was particularly partial, of course, it was not inaccessible, but it was close to the mountain.
Xiaobai ran to the mountain and picked up a large bundle of dry firewood and came back, enough to burn for two days, and neatly split into a small section suitable for burning in the stove, and then stacked it against the wall in the yard, and filled the water tank with water, so that Aunt Osmanthus was startled as soon as she came out.
Xiaobai asked Aunt Osmanthus again where the market was? Aunt Osmanthus immediately understood that this girl would do things, and when she saw that people just didn't want to take advantage of herself, she was going to buy vegetables and rice noodles, and she couldn't help but secretly praise this girl in her heart. Then she will lead the wolf into the house, and when the time comes, she will regret it, and she will have to tear her face and drive people out.
It's hard to make it a good deed, and it hasn't left a good reputation yet. Zhu Bajie looked in the mirror and came out with a rake. But now looking at the girl's style, she is a serious child, not only diligent, capable and sensible, and she doesn't want to take advantage of others at all.
Xiaobai borrowed the basket of Aunt Osmanthus and went out to the bazaar, this county is different from the village, there are several factories concentrated here, and the people in the county town are many workers here in addition to the people from several nearby villages, which are much more prosperous than the village.
In this bazaar, there are people selling vegetables, selling grain, selling clothes, almost everything, there are still a lot of people when Xiaobai goes, passing by a stall selling Jiang rice noodles, looking at many people around to buy again, Xiaobai suddenly moved in his heart, yes, he has been going for more than ten days, and he can't go back anyway. With the dozen yuan on hand, if you can't make some food to sell, you can always earn one or two yuan a day, and you can subsidize your family, the most important thing is that you can at least pay the tuition when school starts, and you can leave some money for Qu Liancheng to get something that can nourish her body.
Anyway, in a few months, as soon as the grain is harvested in the autumn, there will definitely be no need to worry about eating, and after the current level, I can't go to the county every Saturday or Sunday to make two dollars, and I can also fool her and Xiaojiang's tuition fees.
Because at her age, she had never done business, and it was indeed difficult, and it was estimated that she would do business in the county. To what extent can we go, what matters now is to support our families and pass the current hurdle. The rest of her was not very worried.
The whole market turned down, she found that the only snacks sold were Jiang rice noodles, she inquired about even the trough cakes are only available in the supply and marketing cooperatives, no wonder Jiang rice noodles business is very good, she saw that the stall was a big aunt, and after a while, a big basket of effort, Jiang rice noodles were sold out. Just by looking at the look on the face of the great god, you can know that the business is really good.
Xiaobai began to think about what to do, now that the weather is hot, I can't put it away from making snacks or something, I must make something that is easy to preserve, adults and children like it, I thought about it, and with her Michelin pastry chef's skills, I am afraid that there is no market for making it too high-end, and the materials cannot be prepared, and no one wants to buy it if it is expensive.
You have to start from a young age, she decided to make a pot, this thing can be made and bite crunchy, adults and children will like it, it takes a little effort, but as long as you can get money, what are you afraid of with a little effort.
I want to do it, Xiaobai grabbed the money in his hand, and began to buy materials carefully, rice, noodles, as well as eggs, salt, pepper, cumin, this thing is actually there, although there is only a small stall with a bag, I only know that no one wants this thing, the boss is also worried, it has been placed for more than a year and no one wants, seeing the little girl in front of me asked, I immediately felt that there was a chance to deal with this thing.
It's a pity to throw it away, and quickly greeted Xiaobai, and finally under Xiaobai's bargaining, she spent three cents a whole pack to take it all, she also said to the boss, next time if you encounter this thing again, help her get some back, after all, this thing is made of barbecue, make some small fried snacks, and make seasonings, the taste is still really good.
Oil is not easy to buy, to oil tickets, Xiaobai, but worried, although they have a little money in their hands but these tickets and the like can not be obtained, simply bought vegetables and bought things, can only go back to ask Aunt Osmanthus for help, after all, Aunt Osmanthus is a person in that village, who is afraid that everyone has stored rapeseed oil or something, their main product here is rapeseed oil, every village will have it.
Xiaobai hurriedly returned, and was about to go to the hospital to deliver pigeon soup.
