Chapter 39: Designated to be sold
Xiaobai went back and asked Aunt Osmanthus to buy some oil, but Aunt Osmanthus did not politely and neatly come out of the house, and brought a bucket out to her, Xiaobai was not polite, and there was no money in his hand, so he could only tell Aunt Osmanthus on credit first, and also told Aunt Osmanthus about what he wanted to do a small business, after all, this stove has to be used by other people, and it is easy to misunderstand if he does not say it clearly.
Aunt Osmanthus is a cool person, as soon as she heard this, she told Xiaobai that she was not polite, as long as she did not delay her cooking for the two children, she could use the stove, anyway, the firewood was also picked up by Xiaobai herself, that is, she persuaded her a few words, this business is not easy to do, Aunt Osmanthus herself also knows that everything must have a craft.
Why did I raise pigeons alone with my children, and I didn't think about it, but my own craftsmanship is to make some home-cooked meals, and I can always sell something leftover, and the rest is lost to my own stomach. That's why she put a stop to this thought.
But seeing that this child insisted, he also knew that he was probably in trouble, and he had no money in his hand, and the child was anxious to find some way to get money. I won't say more, anyway, what she can help has already helped, and the rest can only depend on the child's own creation.
Qu Xiaobai borrowed the stewed pigeon soup from Aunt Osmanthus's lunch box, one loaded with pigeon soup, and the other made a big bowl of noodles for Uncle Shuitang, these days with Uncle Tang they have suffered a lot, they have no food stamps in the hospital canteen, and the steamed buns of Erhe noodles bought outside are expensive, and neither of them is willing to eat them, and one person will have half a steamed bun for a meal, so they are not hungry.
Xiaobai sent the rice to the hospital, Qu Liancheng had finished the infusion, since yesterday's operation, this is probably the time when he is most energetic, Xiaobai handed the noodles to Uncle Shuitang and asked Uncle Shuitang to eat quickly, and then opened another lunch box to feed Qu Liancheng soup.
Uncle Shui Tang opened the lunch box and smiled, "Where did you get the noodles from this little girl?" You're so good that you can even get a lunch box. "These days, this little girl is looking around, don't look at the small person, sweet mouth, will come to things, people are diligent, looking for someone to do things is really many people like this child and are willing to help her.
Qu Xiaobai smiled, with a smug face, "Uncle Shuitang, I have already found a place for us to live temporarily, although it is far away from the hospital, but people don't want my money, so let me do some work at home to collect firewood and carry water, so that we can live for half a month, and in the future, you will take care of my dad during the day, and I will keep vigil at night, so that we can take turns to rest."
The aunt is very good, let me use her stove to cook, why don't I buy some rice noodles or something, in the future, we don't have to gnaw on the steamed buns of Erhe noodles, and we can also get some soup and water for my father, so as to replenish my body. ”
Uncle Shui Tang gave a thumbs up, "Lian Cheng, you have raised a good girl, you see that you are sick this time, and your daughter is caught inside and out, even if your life is not your daughter, I am afraid that it will not be you." "I sighed a little, but there are only four bald boys in my family, all of them are naughty and mischievous, where can I be so obedient and sensible like my daughter.
Qu Liancheng smiled, he had already heard what happened to Shui Tang, and he was actually a little sad in his heart, his father, eldest brother, and second brother gave up his treatment because of money, which he didn't expect, how to say that he had no credit for his family for so many years, and the money he earned was basically smashed in the Qu family, but in the end, because of 1,000 yuan, no one in the family was willing to treat him.
He also heard that if it weren't for his daughter who sold the house, and the whole village kowtowed to others door to door to borrow money, his life would really be gone, and he suddenly remembered the words that Qu Xiaobai stared at him with big eyes that day, and asked him who he would rely on when he was old, and who would take care of him when he was sick, maybe these words would not give him a deeper meaning at that time, but now it is almost verified, when he needs it most, none of the relatives who used his hard-earned money to nourish the days, no one was willing to lend a hand.
He didn't believe that the eldest brother didn't have the money to marry his daughter-in-law, and the second brother didn't have the money to find a job for his son, as long as the father, the eldest brother and the second brother got together, even if it was to sell the house and land to help him, it was not that he couldn't get it, and even as long as the father came forward to guarantee the villagers, he didn't need to sell the house to borrow the money.
As long as he recovers from his illness, will he let his family bear this debt, he will only double the amount of money, and he will be more kind to his family, and repay his family as a cow and a horse. But now the family has rejected his thoughts because of this little money, and even wants his life.
At the most critical and critical moment, it was his daughter, and the son did not hesitate to go bankrupt to save him, and even persuaded the son and daughter to think about leaving a way back if he was not there, after all, they were still young, but the two children still wanted to treat him as a father.
At this time, he finally understood who was the closest person to him, he had done wrong all these years, and from then on, he didn't want to expect any family affection from his family, there were only two people closest to him, one was Qu Xiaobai, and the other was Qu Xiaojiang, which was enough.
Qu Xiaobai washed the lunch box, packed up and rushed back to Aunt Osmanthus's house, packed up her things, and helped Aunt Osmanthus feed the pigeons. She went headlong into the kitchen and began to tinker with her spicy pot.
There are no special materials for making these things, what you want is hand work and heat, of course, the last spicy and cumin seasoning is the real selling point, the rice has been soaked for three hours, and it happens to be milled into powder now, but it is not very fine kind of powder, if there are some particles, make the pot bite in the mouth and have a taste, rub the flour, add salt, knead into a dough, and put it there to wake up.
Half an hour later, the dough was rolled out into thin sheets, cut into small squares, and the oil pan was already sitting on the fire and began to fry one by one, and immediately the fresh aroma of the pot bar had wafted out.
When all the pans are fried, sprinkle the prepared chili powder, cumin powder and peppercorn powder, then mix well, and set aside to cool, the cooler the thing, the crispier it is.
Qu Xiaobai did all the good, because she couldn't estimate what the effect would be if she sold well tomorrow, she didn't dare to do more, so she made a look of more than 20 catties, she took a bowl and put a bowl, and sent it to Aunt Osmanthus, people live in the county all the year round, and they must know what the public likes in terms of taste, which is also a kind of market research.
Aunt Osmanthus smelled the incense outside in the house, and she couldn't help but be curious, what is this girl doing so fragrant, and in a blink of an eye, this girl came in with a curtain.
"Auntie, you can taste the pot I made, I think I will sell this tomorrow, how about you take a look?"
Aunt Osmanthus picked one up from the bowl and put it in her mouth, as soon as she entered it, it was fragrant, spicy and crispy, delicious, and nodded, "Girl, your pot is really good, it's better than that Jiang rice stick, these are two flavors, that one is sweet, and this one is salty." It should sell well, the market is full of workers living in the nearby factory area, those people are earning wages, people are not bad at eating, you are designated to be popular. ”
Aunt Osmanthus has the final word.
