141 Cakes
Gongxi Chu accompanied Hua Ronghua to walk back, and couldn't help asking, "Won't you hit that wooden pot to hold those strawberries?" ā
"Yes, most of the best products are in the packaging! When the wooden box is delivered, it is best to print some auspicious words on it, and then how can the things of one article be sold for three words. Hua Ronghua is full of confidence.
"Huh!" Gongxi Chu didn't think that a wooden box could make much of a difference, but it was rare that this woman was so excited that he couldn't interrupt.
In the afternoon, when Huang Zhuangtou brought those wooden boxes with the carpenter, Hua Ronghua couldn't put them down in his hand.
The wooden box is square, as she said, it is a four-inch long wooden box, five inches high and five two inches high, polished very smooth, the edges and corners are rounded with sandpaper, and it is very light in the hand, and you can faintly smell the fragrance of the log.
"That's good, how much does this cost?" Hua Ronghua couldn't help but ask.
The willow carpenter is really a very honest person as Huang Zhuangtou said, and when he heard Hua Ronghua asking the price, he hurriedly waved his hand, "This little work doesn't take much effort or material, no money, no money!" ā
Hua Ronghua couldn't help laughing, "I'm going to ask you for more boxes like this in the future!" If you don't want money, then you drink the northwest wind? ā
"Huh? This ......" The willow carpenter scratched his head and looked at Huang Zhuangtou on the side for help.
Gong Xichu was impatient to watch from the sidelines, this woman had nothing to smile at others, and directly lowered her face, "If you want to bargain, you will bargain!" What to grind? ā
The willow carpenter almost sat on the ground and said tremblingly: "Then just give a few pennies." ā
Hua Ronghua is in trouble, how much does he give casually? Turning his head and asking Huang Zhuangtou, "How much can this kind of box sell for in the market?" ā
Huang Zhuangtou was also a little embarrassed, "I haven't seen this kind of box sold in the market!" However, there are wooden plates that have been sold, and they are generally two pennies each. ā
"Then I have a lid, so I'll give you one more article! Nor by size. Hua Ronghua finally set the price, "You go back and continue to do it, do as much as you can, and then I will settle the bill for you according to the quantity, and I will give you today's first!" As he spoke, he took out thirty pieces and handed them to him.
The willow carpenter was a little confused, just in less than half a day, he earned thirty yuan? From now on, if you play this kind of box every day, it will be better than taking over the work of making a makeup cabinet! He was pulled off his sleeve by Huang Zhuangtou before he came back to his senses, and nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, I will make sure that this box doesn't have a single burr!" ā
"Alright, let's go." Gongxi Chu saw that this carpenter always went to Hua Ronghua to get more and more dissatisfied.
Hua Ronghua shouted to Huang Zhuangtou again, "You help me ask who can go to the mountains to pick strawberries, and I will give five cents when I pick a basket!" ā
"Wuwen?" Huang Zhuangtou was startled.
"Huh? Less? Hua Ronghua hesitated, how much more should I add?
Huang Zhuangtou hurriedly waved his hand, "A lot, a lot, now that the farm work is over, everyone has nothing to do, they also go up the mountain to chop firewood and pick wild vegetables, picking these strawberries is a convenient thing, and you can't use so much money!" ā
"But I can't let you do it for nothing!" As long as it's not a lack of money, Hua Ronghua exhaled slightly, now she finally understands the thoughts of those capitalists, and she really doesn't dare to invest too much before she sees the benefits, so she can only squeeze the artificial!
"If the girl wants to give, she will be like a willow carpenter, just give a basket of three cents." Huang Zhuang head said.
Hua Ronghua was still a little hesitant, "Picking strawberries has to run all over the mountain......"
Huang Zhuangtou didn't care at all, "Hey, our Zhuanghu family, which one of you didn't run all over the mountains and fields all over the world?" ā
"Then it's trouble!" Hua Ronghua thought to herself, anyway, this price is set by yourself, and you don't blame her for it.
When Huang Zhuangtou and the willow carpenter went out, Gong Xichu came directly and wrapped the woman who was concentrating on the box in his arms, and said dissatisfiedly: "Let Mo An do these things in the future, don't worry about it!" ā
"How's that going to work? It's my business! Besides, Mo'an is your little servant and not mine! Hua Ronghua disagreed.
Gong Xichu leaned close to the woman's ear, "What is mine is yours." ā
Hua Ronghua pushed away the sticky man, and when he turned around, he suddenly saw the two bamboo baskets containing strawberry seedlings, and couldn't help but pat his forehead, "Oops, why did you forget to ask Huang Zhuangtou who can help me plant seedlings!" ā
"Planting seedlings?" Gongxi Chu asked strangely: "Where are you going to plant?" ā
"O cabin on the hill! When you think about it, we want to eat and go straight to the cabin, and we don't have to hire people to run around the mountains like this! Speaking of this, Hua Ronghua sighed in disappointment, "It's a pity, that mountain is not mine, if it were mine, I would plant fruit trees all around the wooden house, and when the flowers bloomed, the petals of various colors flew into the wooden house, and it didn't feel like I was in a fairyland?" ā
Gong Xichu's eyes blinked and asked, "Do you want to be an immortal?" ā
"How tired is it to be a fairy? I just want to be a mortal who eats whole grains! Besides, how can an immortal be a god if he wants to? ā
"Then you say you want to live in Wonderland?"
"Ouch, that's what I said, analogy!" Hua Ronghua grinned.
Gong Xichu saw that she didn't speak again, and pointed to the two baskets of strawberry seedlings, "You tell Mo Yan where to plant them in a while, and I'll ask him to take a few people." ā
Hua Ronghua saw that it was getting late, she was a little too lazy to move, and she didn't know much about planting seedlings and farming, so she couldn't help but be a little happy after listening to the man's words, and then she was a little embarrassed, "This, isn't it good to let him go by himself?" ā
"Just go and talk to him." Gongxi Chu glanced at her, what is this woman doing with hypocrisy?
The seedling planting was arranged, and Hua Ronghua felt a lot more settled, so she took the baskets of strawberries and began to pack them in wooden boxes. A little harder, the red and ripe ones were placed in the basket one by one, the one-inch high box was placed in one layer, the two-inch high box was placed in two layers, and then stacked in the bamboo basket with hay mats.
Hua Ronghua told Mo An, who was pouting with an unhappy face, "Don't go fast when you go back, if it's too fast, you should break the strawberry, this thing is squeamish, and it will break when you touch it." When you go back, you must put them in the ice cellar as soon as possible, if you are out for a long time, they will rot. ā
"I see." Mo An was a little impatient, if it weren't for the fact that this woman had a lot of trouble, he would have been able to accompany his master in Zhuangzi like Mo Yan, where would he still run to the county seat when it was almost dark.
Gong Xichu glared at the little guy warningly, and interjected: "Don't worry, he knows what to do." ā
Mo An lowered his head and said unwillingly, "Don't worry, Mrs. Hua." "Woo! The master now likes Hua Niangzi more than him!
Hua Ronghua smiled, "You two little guys are good!" "If you want to ask for people, you should lower your posture. He took another strawberry with half a basket and handed it over, "There are two of them wrapped in oiled paper, which are for hearts, please help me bring them to her and say that I am fine, I will go to see her in a few days, and the rest will be eaten slowly by you." ā
This is about the same, Mo An finally smiled a little when he took the basket, although this strawberry is sour, but it is also sweet, and if it is mixed with white sugar to eat, it is really refreshing, go back and show off with the cockroach, that guy will salivate all over the place!
Seeing that Hua Ronghua kept waving his hand to Mo An who was sitting in an ox cart, shouting to him to be careful, Gong Xichu's thoughts that had been depressed for a day finally exploded.
"Ouch, you let go, it's out there!" Hua Ronghua suddenly fell into a hard embrace and couldn't help but be startled, at this time the sky was not yet dark, in case it was not good for people to see.
"On this day, I stood next to you and you couldn't even see me! Either laugh at this or wave your hand at that, I'm afraid you have forgotten that I am your man! Instead of letting go, Gongxi Chu tightened tighter, and his mouth was full of resentment.
"Oh, okay, okay, I'll make you something to eat!" Hua Ronghua looked around in a panic, for fear that he would be a monkey, "Let's go into the house quickly." ā
"Are you serious? You do it yourself! Also, I don't want to eat your dishes, I always like to put vinegar! Gongxi Chu shook Hua Ronghua's body lightly and picked himself.
"Good, good." Hua Ronghua hurriedly agreed, and then pushed him into the house.
"What are you going to do for me?" Gong Xichu asked as soon as he entered the house.
"I ......"
"You're not going to pay off, are you?" Gongxi Chu saw the woman's cross-waisted glare, and knew that she wanted to slide her head again.
Hua Ronghua choked, then raised his head, "What are you kidding?" Is my sister a debtor? IāI just want to ask, can you help? ā
"You're going to make me something to eat, and you want me to help you?" Gong Xichu's eyes widened, this woman really dared to say that he had never even entered the kitchen since he was a child.
"Yes, because I want to make cakes, but I don't have the strength in my arms, how can I whip the cream!" Hua Ronghua finally figured out what to do for him, and couldn't help but smile thiefly, "You wait, I'll go get the things." ā
Soon, half a basket of eggs, sugar, flour, and two clean wooden basins and chopsticks were all brought.
Then, Gongxi Chu saw that Hua Ronghua was like a trick, knocked the egg open a small hole, dripped the egg white into a wooden basin, put the remaining egg yolk into another basin, and then put some white sugar in the egg white basin and handed it to himself.
"Okay, young master, now you use chopsticks to stir clockwise, and pass it all away." Hua Ronghua gave him a demonstration action.
Gong Xichu frowned, this woman really dared to arrange herself to do these jobs!
Hua Ronghua saw that his face was about to rain, thought about it and said, "If you can't get used to it, just wait for Mo Yan to stir it up, his strength should not be small." With that, he went to beat the yolk himself.
Gong Xichu's face was even darker, let Mo Yan do it with her? How can it be! Hatefully picked up the basin with egg whites and chopsticks and beat hard, and while beating, he found that the viscous egg whites in the basin slowly turned into white foam, and occasionally splashed on the mouth to taste it and found that it was sweet, and it was very smooth.
Finally saw the finished cake taken out of the pot, and the pungent aroma filled the entire courtyard at once, Gong Xichu, who was standing at the door of the kitchen, shook his arm, well, it smells good, and it was not in vain!
