Chapter 21 Business is booming

When I got home, I was ready for lunch.

"Mother, hurry up and eat, the second aunt made fried bacon." Erbao saw Ji Wan from afar, and led her into the door.

Fried bacon was taught by Ji Wan to the second sister-in-law, and the second sister-in-law still has a little talent in her body, and she will learn it.

The second brother ate three meat buns, but he didn't expect to cook three bowls of rice, is this gluttony? Why can you eat it so much?

"One, two, three......" The family sat together, and Chen He firmly held the somewhat wrinkled banknote in his hand.

The fragmented corners add up to five pieces.

"It's five yuan a day, and your father and your brother and I can't earn so much money a day at work." Chen He counted five or six times, determined the money, took out two yuan, and divided it among the two families, "This is for you, I will keep the rest, save it and change it to a big house." ”

The sister-in-law waved her hand and refused, "Mother, our family, don't engage in those vain heads." ”

"That's right, let's not separate families, what are we doing here? Mother, you quickly take it back. The second sister-in-law pushed back the dollar in front of her.

Chen He has always been a person who says the same, "You can rest assured, as the daughter-in-law of our Lao Ji family, how can you have no money in your pocket, and you also have children, so you have to think about your children when the time comes." ”

In this way, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law happily accepted the money, and the cost after the birth of the child was not low.

In the afternoon, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law have been learning to make pork jerky with Ji Wan, which is simple to make, as long as you pay attention to the heat, you can make it delicious.

"Little sister, I didn't expect this pork jerky to be really simple." The second sister-in-law was eating the pork jerky she had made, and she was so scared.

"It's just that you still need to be on this heat for a little longer, it's not good if it's too tender, and you will wake up after baking for about five more minutes."

Ji Wan took out the acorns he picked in the mountains last time.

The oak fruit is also called an acorn, and when it comes back, it is peeled and dried.

Now it's completely dry, and it only needs to be washed off.

"Little sister, what are you doing with this fruit? It's astringent and bitter. The second sister-in-law was deeply impressed by this, and when she was young, she ate it by mistake and was choked by the bitter taste.

Ji Wan poured the sun-dried acorns into the vat, picked two buckets of water, and let it continue to soak to remove astringency.

"Second sister-in-law, you can't do it, acorns can make a lot, especially acorn tofu, which is particularly delicious."

"Then I have to try it, little sister, and we can help you."

……

I was busy in the afternoon and made twenty catties of pork jerky.

"It's going to sell out tomorrow." Chen Helin's last words before going to bed.

Early in the morning, Ji Wan went out with his eldest brother.

Every time you sell goods, two people are enough, and next time the eldest brother and the second brother come out to set up a stall.

As soon as he arrived in the town, Ji Wan went to pay the booth fee, and it was still the same stall as yesterday.

When I took my eldest brother there, there were already a few people around the stall.

"Stallholder, you're here, we've been waiting here for more than ten minutes." At first glance, you can tell that you are a big fan of pork jerky.

"Yes! Yesterday, I was annoyed by my children, and my head exploded, so I blamed me for buying less. ”

"What's in your pork jerky? We can't get enough of it! ”

Ji Wan took off his back basket, "Thank you for your hard work, I have twenty catties today, I must be enough." ”

"Little sister, we have a lot of followers of pork jerky!" It's the first time that the eldest brother has seen so many people chasing after a food, and he is still in a long queue.

"That's for sure, our pork jerky is delicious, of course there are many people who buy it, big brother, you go and collect money, a pack of five cents."

"Okay."

In front of the stall, there were a full line of people, which made the stalls on the side very red-eyed.

"I want three packs, my son started making trouble after eating last night, and my daughter-in-law also asked me to let me buy more."

"Don't squeeze me, I want three packs too."

"Hey, why are you stepping on me? I want six packs. ”

The eldest brother looked at the gossiping customers and hurriedly spoke, "Don't worry, everyone, we brought a lot of them today, don't worry, they all have them." ”

There are also some people who haven't bought before, passing by Ji Wan's stall and thinking it's quite novel, "What are you selling?" How to line up so many people. ”

"This is pork jerky, it's been sold here for a few days, but it's delicious."

"Yes, yes, yes, you can also buy a bag and try it, you will definitely not be able to stop."

Good guys, this is simply free publicity, and those people really couldn't resist their curiosity and joined the queue.

……

The empty back basket made the eldest brother directly doubt his life, "Little sister, we made twenty catties of meat this time, how could it be sold so quickly?" ”

Within two hours of coming out, all 40 packs of pork jerky were sold.

"It's a small scene! Brother, I'll take you to a restaurant to eat noodles, go, and close the stall. Ji Wan has never tasted the food of a state-run restaurant since she came here, and she heard that the waiters in the restaurant have a bad temper, but the dishes she cooks are very good, and she wants to see it.

The eldest brother hasn't eaten it a few times, and when he thinks of the dishes in the state-run restaurant, he drools greedily, "Okay, let's go."

It's almost lunchtime, and there are a lot of people, and it's very noisy.

Ji Wan took his eldest brother to squeeze in for a long time before squeezing in, "I'm tired of two bowls of peach blossom noodles." ”

"Seven cents, six and six food stamps."

"Okay." Ji Wan took out the money from his pocket.

I found an empty place, so I quickly sat down, and now that there are many people, I may have to stand and eat when the time comes.

The eldest brother looked at the menu hanging on it, and couldn't help but smack his tongue, "Little sister, it's really surprisingly expensive here, a bowl of noodles costs three cents and eight plus three taels of food stamps." ”

Come here to eat, mainly because there are food stamps around, last time Erhuzi gave a lot of food stamps, and it is a waste not to use it, and it will expire at that time.

"Isn't it just to make money to eat?"

The eldest brother was also convinced by this statement, "You are right. ”

When the noodles came up, the eldest brother no longer thought about the price.

Peach blossom noodles, also known as wonton noodles, are cooked wontons and noodles in the same bowl, because the wonton skin is thin, the meat filling is red, floating around the noodles, like blooming peach blossoms.

The noodles are nearly half a foot long knife-plucked noodles, equivalent to half a catty of noodles today, and there is a piece of roast pork about an inch wide and half an inch long, two croquettes and a soup with ingredients.

"It's so fragrant, little sister, the peach blossom noodles are really delicious."

"After all, the price is there." Ji Wan tasted the soup, it was indeed good.

The amount of state-run restaurants is really sufficient, and the eldest brother can't walk until he eats.

Before leaving, Ji Wan bought two servings of braised pork, spending his own money, not what he had just earned.

It's not that there is no braised pork at home, it's just that this bowl is from a state-run restaurant, and the family members are farmers for half their lives, so where will they go to a state-run restaurant to eat.

A bowl of noodles can buy more than a pound of meat, and I can't give it up at all.

"Little sister, it's still your sweetness, I almost forgot what I ate." The eldest brother scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

Originally, the daughter was the mother's little padded jacket.

The eldest brother rode the car, Ji Wan sat in the back, holding the braised pork in his hand, even if the wrap was tight, the fragrance still wafted, and the villagers passing by couldn't help but take a big breath.

"This old Ji family bought braised pork from a state-run restaurant!"

"How do you know it's a state-run hotel?"

"Last time I went to the town, I passed by a state-run restaurant, and there was a person in it who also packed a braised pork, and as soon as I walked by, the taste was unforgettable."

"This old Ji family is going to turn over as a slave and sing."

Riding all the way home, the fragrance of braised pork wafted from the entrance of the village to Lao Ji's house, and many people walking at the door inhaled the aroma.

"Mother, you're back, I smell the smell of meat." Xiaobao closed his eyes, inhaled the aroma of braised pork, ran from the back room to the outside, and hugged Ji Wan's thigh accurately.

"Our Xiaobao's nose is really smart, quickly ask your grandmother to taste the braised pork, and keep it for adding vegetables at night."

"Okay, it's meaty."

After entering the house, the family closed the door, and Chen He pinched a thick stack of banknotes.

"One, two, three......"

When all the counts were finished, Chen He's whole person was shocked, and his speech became stammering, "Two...... Twenty dollars. ”

Even the always calm father showed a look of disbelief, and even a slight suspicion, "Are there really so many?" ”

"We sold 20 catties today, and one catty is divided into two packs, that is, 40 packs, and a pack of 5 cents." Ji Wan explained the details of selling pork jerky.

"You don't know, when I went to the stall today, there were still customers queuing there, and they had been waiting for more than ten minutes." The eldest brother was immediately ridiculed by the second brother.

"You've never seen the world, it's all a small scene."

"You've seen the world." The eldest brother also scolded him back.

Chen He slapped the table, "Quarrel with a fart, don't be scolded by the old lady every day, you won't stop." ”

At this moment, no one around dared to speak.

As soon as Chen He was about to continue talking, there was a heavy knock at the door, as if a loan shark had brought someone to ask for money.

"Open the door, Ji Wan, open the door for me."
