Chapter 15: Li Daniu's thoughts
Vegetable oil is surprisingly expensive, and a pound of peanut oil actually costs a silver coin, which is not something that the rich and noble can't afford to use.
Usually stir-frying, every household, most of the use is solid oil.
During the New Year's holidays, people like to eat pigs and buy meat. Because the fatty meat has oil and water, after frying the oil once, it tastes just right.
The fried oil is placed in a porcelain jar, and after cooling, it becomes a milky white solid grease.
Take a spatula and dig a piece and put it in a hot iron pot, it won't take long for the lard to melt completely. Then pour in the things to be fried, and the vegetarian dishes can also taste a little meaty.
One gold coin can be exchanged for five silver coins, and one silver coin can be exchanged for twenty iron coins.
After beating the vegetable oil, Wang Zhe has three iron coins left in his pocket, which is still the credit of Indulgence, otherwise he would not have one left.
The peanut oil was packed with a gourd, and the gourd originally had to collect an iron coin, but it was cut off with the help of Zong Yue.
This kind of woman, as long as she can live down, it is absolutely good to marry her home as a daughter-in-law.
Only by virtue of the advantage of being able to bargain, he is better than some losers who know how to spend money.
When Wang Zhe came back with a bag of seasonings and half a gourd of vegetable oil, the tofu was selling well.
In contrast, the Queen Mother's tofu, which is reasonably priced and fresh, has been sold here for four or five years and has many repeat customers.
Wang Zhe's mouth was sweet, and his uncle and aunt kept shouting in front of the tofu stall.
"My aunt is getting younger again, eating tofu, and the more she lives, the younger she gets."
"Uncle is so handsome, when the little brother grows up, he must be as thick and long as you...... Oh no...... It's tall and mighty. ”
……
"How many pounds of tofu does grandma want? Your granddaughter is so good-looking, white and tender, you can tell at a glance that she grew up eating my tofu. ”
Before the old grandmother could reply, the little girl spoke first: "Grandma, I want to eat tofu, eat a lot, eat whiter and more tender." ”
After speaking, he shyly hid behind his grandmother and grimaced at Wang Zhe.
"Okay, little Nizi, I'll give you something to eat. However, you should be careful after eating white and tender, and you can't let others take advantage of the tofu at will. ”
"Well, the tofu is all mine, and no one will take it."
"Little sister, you can't be so stingy. You think, I gave you my tofu to eat, shouldn't you be polite and let me eat some of your tofu? ”
"Uh...... Okay, then I'll let you eat a little bit of my tofu. ”
In front of other people's grandmothers, Wang Zhe was abducted and deceived in an open pit, and he also slept by the pit - not far from death.
Sure enough, the grandmother who bought the tofu was annoyed. She put on a straight face and said: "The daughter-in-law of the Wang family, take care of your family's skin boy, take advantage of my granddaughter, don't give me two catties of tofu for nothing today, this matter is not over." ”
The queen mother is not scared, she is in the downtown area all the year round, she is mixed, she often gags, and she is used to it.
came directly: "What's wrong, what's wrong with my Zhe'er, seeing that your little granddaughter likes to eat tofu so much, she will marry directly into my family, and let Zhe'er feed her every day." ”
Hearing this, the old grandmother couldn't play anymore, so she laughed directly.
It's been a long time, and this joke can still be made.
She looked back at her little granddaughter and said, "Did you hear that?" When you grow up, you will marry this little brother, you eat him, he eats yours, okay? ”
The little girl was speechless and buried her head behind her grandmother, not knowing if she doubted whether she had picked it up.
……
The tofu sold quickly, and in less than an hour, the wooden barrel containing the tofu was exposed.
After disposing of the fallen crumbs and the last few pieces of tofu, the Queen Mother set about closing the stall.
In the past, she would put wooden barrels and planks and other tools next to Da Niu's fish stall for him to help watch over, and then go to the school to bring breakfast and lunch money to her son.
Now that her son is on vacation, and she is by her side at this time, she has a rare free time, and she has nothing to do, so she helps Da Niu sell fish.
Tofu is different from fish, and most of the people who buy tofu are small families who have to run for a day's livelihood and get up early.
Therefore, the Queen Mother also closed the stall early, calculated in earth time, that is, more than nine o'clock.
Most of the people who buy fish are from small wealthy families who have a lot of money. They spend a lot of time at the market, so many times, the fish stalls of the big cows have to be set up for an extra hour.
Approaching noon, Li Daniu was generous and said that in order to thank his nephew and younger siblings for their help, he must invite him to eat mutton steamed buns.
Aunt Li, who had just closed the stall, laughed on the side: "This calf is shrewd and knows how to beat around the bush, so he has to buy other people's dolls first." ”
Wang Dagen also joined in the fun: "I want to hehehe, it's not enough to eat mutton steamed buns, other people's children love sugar, should you not even be willing to buy a candy man." ”
The Queen Mother was said to be embarrassed and refused to accept the banquet anyway. This made Li Daniu a little annoyed with Dagen and Aunt Li, blaming them for their broken mouths.
The meal was not invited, Li Daniu had no choice but to retreat and buy a candy man for Wang Zhe very persistently. What is said that the child is very hard to help him sell fish, and all the sticky smell on his body is fishy, and it is appropriate to buy a candy man.
The sugar man is very large and is his sister's favorite dragon type, but after Wang Zhe observed the whole production process from the side, he couldn't raise any appetite.
This candy man is the length of an adult's palm, the thickness of a cucumber, and is browned and strong, and it is made of the syrup after the icing has been burned.
The old man's craftsmanship is very good, the round drum is blown in the middle, and the dragon head and dragon whiskers are also pinched vividly. The dragon scales are pulled out with sugar silk, and while the sugar is not solidified, let it go around the body in a whole circle, although it is not one by one, but it is also very vivid.
The only thing that made Wang Zhe dissatisfied was that when he blew the candy man, the last breath was sent by the old man for him...... This is the rule of trade, and it is inevitable that the last breath can only be grasped by the candy blower.
The sugar blower said that this step was for the sake of the spirit, which was handed down by the ancestors.
Wang Zhe thinks that this is purely to disgust people, and if you don't pinch your hands, you won't say anything about you, but don't you really think that you are a delicate girl?
Just ask who would be willing to kiss indirectly with a bad old man, no matter how good the 'blowing' is, the gender and age are not right.
Also, you're not a spirit master, so what kind of spirit do you use? Is there a backlog of old phlegm for many years?
In the past, Wang Zhe really liked to eat candy man, a bun-shaped, he could lick it for a long time.
Now, huh!
Forget it!
Blowing candy is like this, you can't think too much when you eat, and you can't think about this or that, but Wang Zhe is arrogant, that is, there is a psychological shadow, to be reasonable, this thing is no wonder to blow the candy maker.
The noon sun is very scorching, dyeing the ears of wheat on the roadside pale yellow, and it is expected that within half a moon, the fields will turn into a sea of wheat waves.
It takes more than an hour to travel, nearly 20 kilometers, but fortunately, people here are generally in good health, otherwise they have to suffer from heat stroke.
Rao is like this, one by one as if they were fished out of water, and their eyes are soaked in sweat and dare not open them.
Scraping with your fingers, the water falls and wets the floating soil on the ground.
When I got home, it was already afternoon. After Wang Zhe handed the candy man to his sister, he carried the wooden basin and went straight to the spring well.
The cool well water poured down from his head, causing Wang Zhe to feel agitated and withdraw from the hot state.
At this time, he began to regret it again, what if he caught a cold? This time it was reckless.
Wang Zhe made up his mind that he could no longer do what he wanted in the future.
This thing is like that kind of thing, it is cool at the time, shocked afterwards, and it can't be seen in a short time, but once a bad habit is formed, it will definitely affect lifelong happiness.
