Chapter 358 Staining the Family
Tang Xiaofu had a neighborhood that started selling cold soda and beer, and the diners who couldn't stand the spicy food at Tang Xiaofu's place went to the street to buy cold soda and beer, so the neighborhood did a good business.
When the stall was closed in the evening, the three brothers and sisters were sitting and counting the money, and Fang Ming asked, "Xiaofu, should we also buy some cold soda and beer to sell, and let others make the money saved." ”
Tang Xiaofu smiled: "The money in the world is inexhaustible, let's just do a good job of our food stalls, although people sell iced soda and beer to borrow our light, but it is the iced soda and beer that can also drive our snacks to sell better, which are complementary to each other."
Besides, they are all neighbors, let people take a little sweetness from us, and people will be friendly to us, otherwise you say that these neighbors will feel good when they watch us get rich? If someone gives us a stumbling block, we are foreigners, and we can't stand it! If a few more people get rich together, it won't be so dazzling for us to get rich, and it's a good thing for us to have fewer red-eyed people. ”
Fang Ming nodded, agreeing with Tang Xiaofu's words.
Tang Xiaolan said: "What if others also learn from us to open food stalls and set up a night market to sell the same snacks?" ”
"There is competition in all walks of life, they sell theirs, we sell ours, but after people come, they will take some of our share, we will not make so much money as now, this is also no way, it is useless to worry, you can only work on the taste, if my taste is better than others, then those diners are still willing to come to me to eat."
In fact, Tang Xiaofu knows that at least within three months, it will be difficult for others to open food stalls and set up night market snacks like them.
First of all, it was a planned economy in that era, like fish, vegetables, and pig intestines and pig's feet, and ordinary people couldn't get such a large amount at all, and how to open a food stall without a certain amount of materials!
Not to mention doing it for three months, she can earn a lot of money just this month!
After counting the money and taking a bath, Tang Xiaofu hurriedly went to sleep, and early tomorrow morning, she would get up to spread the spring roll wrappers and prepare to sell spring rolls, and her clothes were all washed by Tang Xiaolan for her.
Fang Ming's clothes are washed by himself every day, he is embarrassed to help Tang Xiaofu and the two sisters wash their clothes, but he will not throw his clothes to Tang Xiaolan to wash.
Tang Xiaofu got up at five o'clock the next day and was busy as lightly as possible in the kitchen alone.
The rice wine I made last night was already fragrant, and I could sell it this morning, and then I quickly spread the spring roll wrappers.
She had only spread out a dozen spring roll skins, and then she saw that Fang Ming had also gotten up, after all, she was not her own brother and sister, they were all sleeping in clothes.
Tang Xiaofu lowered her voice and asked him, "Why did you get up so early?" ”
Fang Ming said: "Come and help you work." ”
Tang Xiaofu put a spread spring roll wrapper in the basket for later use: "There is no work for you to do now, you can go sleep for a while, and I will call you later when I ask you for help." ”
Fang Ming glanced at the kitchen, and there was indeed no work to do by himself, so he went back to the room to sleep.
More than 40 minutes later, Tang Xiaofu spread out more than 100 spring burritos.
At this time, it was already six o'clock, Fang Ming and Tang Xiaolan were still sleeping, afraid of disturbing them, Tang Xiaofu brought the stove to the scrambled eggs in the backyard, because the scrambled eggs used oil, the stinging sound was very loud.
After the eggs were scrambled, Tang Xiaofu served them on a large plate, and then chopped the leeks that were washed yesterday together with the scrambled eggs to form spring rolls with leek egg filling.
When the spring rolls were wrapped, it was almost seven o'clock, Fang Ming woke up again, Tang Xiaofu asked him to help him bring the stove to the door, she first boiled a big pot of rice wine in an aluminum pot, and asked Fang Ming to help her sell rice wine on the side, three cents a bowl, and she began to fry the spring rolls in an oil pot.
Fortunately, I caught up with the flow of people who went to work and school, and a large aluminum pot of rice wine and more than a hundred spring rolls were sold out in a blink of an eye.
A fritter sells for a dime and a half, so Tang Xiaofu priced the spring rolls for a dime.
Girls usually have to buy at least ten to barely have enough to eat, and boys can't eat enough for twenty.
Many people buy spring rolls not early, but to try them, Tang Xiaofu thought to herself, spring rolls are not suitable for early sale, let's make leek pies and sell them tomorrow.
The morning business of more than an hour made a total of more than seven yuan, Tang Xiaofu is very satisfied, if he does morning business every day, he will have more than two hundred yuan in a month.
The next morning, Tang Xiaofu switched to selling leek pies.
The preparation of leek pie is much less than that of spring rolls, only the noodles are made the night before, and the noodles are made the next morning, and then the leeks are directly chopped into filling, just add more lard, no need to add eggs and meat, and then put it in the pot and fry it with oil, selling it for two cents a piece, but the girl can eat one, and the boy can eat two, so it sells very well.
Tang Xiaofu decided to sell a hundred vegetable pies and an aluminum pot of paste rice wine every morning to earn more than a dozen yuan, and sleep for a few hours after lunch every day, plus a few hours of sleep at night, can also maintain eight hours a day.
After two days of delivery, Fang Wenjing should have come.
Fang Wenjing has not been to Tang Xiaofu's newly bought house in the city, it was Wang Cuiyu who met her at the long-distance bus station in the town, and her aunt and sister-in-law came together.
Tang Xiaofu knew that her mother was coming this morning, so she specially left ten leek pies and some rice wine lists for her mother to eat.
Xiaolan is also very excited, she hasn't seen her mother for several days, and she misses it very much.
At about ten o'clock, my mother and aunt came together, and the mother and daughter were very affectionate when they met.
Tang Xiaofu asked her mother and aunt to eat leek pies and drink rice wine.
The eldest aunt took a leek pie and said with a smile: "In the end, my own mother is here, and I can eat it until breakfast." ”
Tang Xiaofu smiled: "Next time my aunt comes, I will also leave pies for my aunt." ”
Wang Cuiyu smiled: "It's okay to have your filial piety, you don't need to leave pies for your aunt, I came here after eating at home, and you should be filial to your mother." ”
Fang Wenjing didn't care about eating pies and drinking rice wine, so she first looked at the house and said that the house was too old.
Tang Xiaofu followed behind and said, "Three hundred yuan for a house in the city is really nothing. ”
Fang Wenjing thought about it, every inch of land in the city is expensive, where is the countryside can be compared.
Seeing that the furniture at home was not bad, he asked Tang Xiaofu: "This furniture was left by the landlord?" ”
"Such good furniture, even the landlord's landlord is reluctant to leave it for us, these furniture are all given to us by the head of the cold group." Tang Xiaofu poured the fish and shrimp into different pots.
Fang Wenjing glanced at Wang Cuiyu, who was standing beside him eating pies, and stopped talking.
Wang Cuiyu and Fang Wenjing ate too early to help the three children wash vegetables and pig's feet.
Wang Cuiyu asked Tang Xiaofu: "Your uncle asked you if you wanted pig ears and pig tails, and it is difficult to sell these things for meat, if you want them, your uncle can help you buy them cheaply." ”
Tang Xiaofu nodded: "Yes." Then asked Fang Wenjing if she was busy at home alone.
Fang Wenjing said: "Fortunately, now I can do the work at home alone, and in mid-August, I have to dig peanuts and harvest cotton and sesame seeds, and I am busy at that time." ”
Tang Xiaolan wiped the sweat from her forehead and continued to wash the vegetables: "At that time, I will help my mother go back with my sister to harvest peanuts and cotton sesame." ”
The eldest aunt Wang Cuiyu said quickly: "If you can't leave, don't go back, our family and your second uncle's family helped your mother harvest the crops on the little land in your house." ”
Tang Xiaofu muttered: "If it's mid-August, I'm afraid we will end the business here temporarily, and go back to prepare for Xiaolan's schooling." ”
Tang Xiaolan said: "What do I have to prepare for the start of school, I have schoolbags and stationery, just register for it." ”
Tang Xiaofu glanced at her with a smile: "The plan can't catch up with the changes, I'm afraid that something will happen to me." ”
At noon, Tang Xiaofu made a relatively hearty lunch, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, sweet and sour hairtail, spicy crayfish, stir-fried pork slices with sharp peppers, plus two green vegetables and a capers.
I haven't eaten Fang Wenjing's pickles for a long time, Tang Xiaofu's mouth has never had much appetite, but now she has a great appetite for dried beans and eats a big bowl of rice.
During the meal, the two sisters of Tang Xiaofu kept putting good dishes into Fang Wenjing's bowl, which made Fang Wenjing say that the two daughters were not sensible: "The eldest aunt is the guest, you should serve the dishes to the eldest aunt, how can there be any reason to serve the dishes to the mother?" ”
Wang Cuiyu approvingly: "This is the filial piety of the two Xiaofu sisters, they feel sorry for you at home alone, reluctant to eat, reluctant to drink, and have to do such heavy work, so they are all rushing to give you vegetables!" ”
Fang Wenjing's eyes were a little red: "It's not easy for children to be outside!" ”
Tang Xiaolan peeled a spicy lobster: "Mom, we are better here than you at home, my sister is willing to eat, and every meal is made for us to eat, so my mother has to be willing to eat at home, otherwise her health will be bad." ”
Wang Cuiyu praised: "Look! What a good boy! ”
After eating at noon, Fang Wenjing and Wang Cuiyu's sister-in-law left, and the Tang Xiaofu sisters wanted to send them, but Fang Wenjing didn't let them, let them take a good nap, and the two children looked a little tired.
When the night market was set up in the evening, Tang Xiaofu remembered that Leng Chenxu was coming tonight, so he specially selected thirty particularly large lobsters and put them in a small basin alone, waiting for him to come and make them for him.
At about six o'clock in the evening, Leng Chenxu came, and as soon as he came, he saw a young man standing next to the barbecue grill, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, he walked to Tang Xiaofu's side, and cautiously inquired about why Fang Ming came.
He helped Tang Xiaofu's family plant rice that time, and he and Fang Ming had eaten at the same table at Tang Xiaofu's house, so he recognized him.
Fang Ming also saw him, and nodded politely at him.
Leng Chenxu also nodded back twice.
Tang Xiaofu glanced at Fang Ming, who was busy like an octopus, and replied, "He's my cousin, why can't he come." ”
Leng Chenxu knew that Tang Xiaofu was not Fang Wenjing's biological daughter, so she had no blood relationship with her uncle and cousin, so she was still a little depressed when she saw him helping here.
"He's coming, so what am I doing?" Leng Chenxu looked at Fang Ming and asked.
"Of course you're still killing fish?" Tang Xiaofu glanced at him with a mentally retarded gaze, "I'll make you spicy crayfish now, and when you finish eating the crayfish, you will kill the fish." ”
Leng Chenxu was comforted a little at this time.
Tang Xiaofu made spicy crayfish for him and put it on a large plate, and then mixed him with a big bowl of sugar and tomatoes, and asked him to bring it into the house, where there was a table where he could sit and eat.
Leng Chenxu stood beside Tang Xiaofu with a plate: "I'll just stand here and eat." ”
Tang Xiaofu said while being busy: "On a hot day, you are not too hot standing next to the stove." ”
Silly girl, as long as people can stand by your side, it will be like a spring breeze, where will they feel that the stove is hot!
Some diners impatiently urged: "Can you be a little professional, make your spicy crayfish well, and keep flirting with others!"
The corners of Tang Xiaofu's mouth twitched, and she slandered in her heart, making spicy crayfish is made with your hands, not with your mouth, why can't you speak, and I am flirting with a man!
But the diner is the uncle, what else can Tang Xiaofu do? I just have to shut up!
Leng Chenxu finished eating crayfish and tomatoes mixed with sugar, and he was comfortable from the inside out, so he went to kill the fish.
Fang Ming panicked, didn't even care about business, and stopped Leng Chenxu: "Captain Leng, I'll come!" Beware of the fishy smell of killing fish! ”
"Okay, I'll sell barbecue." Leng Chenxu is as good as a stream.
As soon as he stood behind the barbecue grill, the number of girls buying barbecue surged, and Fang Ming, who was squatting on the ground and killing fish, couldn't be busy, and he couldn't wait for three heads and six arms.
Tang Xiaofu sold out the spicy crayfish and began to fry the spicy snails for sale, two cents a bowl, and many people bought them.
Cheap and satisfying, the key is delicious, of course others are willing to pay!
In order to sell snails, Tang Xiaofu deliberately went to Hanzheng Street to buy a lot of small bowls, so that one pound of snails can hold two bowls, the profit is greater, and half a pound of snails is a lot, which can satisfy the craving!
Fifty catties of snails can be sold for about 100 bowls, and in addition to the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, coal, and fire money, it should be able to make a net profit of eighteen yuan.
However, the road is so far, I am tired of picking and sending snails to sell only a dozen yuan, so it is better to replace them with lobster or pig offal, the profit will be more, and I don't want my aunts to send snails in the future.
Tang Xiaofu was busy and calculating in her heart.
There are too many spicy hot dishes sold today, and there are too many spicy crayfish, so the bowls are not enough, Fang Ming has to kill fish and wash the dishes, he is too busy, Tang Xiaofu decided to buy more bowls tomorrow and come back, anyway, the wholesale price is not expensive.
She doesn't want to invite the dishwasher now, for fear that the washing will not be clean, and they wash the pots and pans every night, and they are scalded with hot and cold water several times.
Tang Xiaofu pays great attention to hygiene, tries to prevent bacterial infection, and especially encourages diners to bring their own dishes and chopsticks.
It was almost ten o'clock, all the ingredients were sold out, a few people cleaned the door and moved things inside, when Leng Chenxu lifted the stove to the backyard, he saw that there were only two beds in the middle room, and there were no beds in the other places, so he asked Tang Xiaofu: "Where does Fang Ming sleep at night?" ”
