The next day, before dawn, Gu Rao woke up by herself, rarely without lying in bed, and turned over when she opened her eyes.

Seeing Gu Rao get up, Beiye also got up.

Gu Rao stood beside the bed and said, "It's still early, you can sleep for a while, and when I ask you for help later, I'll call you again." ”

Beiye put on his shoes and got up, habitually raised his hand and touched Gu Rao's head.

Her hair was loose and felt nice to the touch.

"I've slept enough, and I can't sleep even when I'm lying down, so let's clean up early."

Gu Rao didn't force it anymore.

She has to work today, and on the dresser, only a white jade hairpin and a pair of white jade earrings she wore on her head yesterday are left, and she has no interest in dressing up.

Hold the hair together with your backhand, wrap it around the back of your head a few times, and then insert the white jade hairpin, and simply fix the coiled hair.

After a quick wash, it's time for a busy day.

Come to the kitchen.

It's still early, before it's time to eat breakfast, Gu Rao poured some flour in a basin, kneaded it, and put it on the stove to ferment.

Then the preparation for making the dumplings began.

Wash the rice dumpling leaves you bought yesterday, as well as glutinous rice, meat and other ingredients with cold water, and neatly place them in different utensils for later use.

Let's wrap the pork fresh brown first.

Cut the washed meat into large pieces, add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, five-spice powder, pepper, sugar, green onion, ginger and garlic, grasp well, cover and set aside to marinate.

Take out the glutinous rice that has been soaked for more than an hour, drain the water, add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt, sugar, and marinate for a stick of incense after grasping well.

Next, you can wrap the rice dumplings.

Take out two zongzi leaves, fold a little up in the middle, twist the zongzi leaves, fill the bottom with a spoonful of glutinous rice, then put the meat, and finally spread two spoonfuls of glutinous rice on top, wrap the zongzi, tie it with a rope and put it in a large basin on the side.

Bei Ye watched Gu Rao's movements over and over again, and while learning to do it, the glutinous rice wrapped in the first package fell out, and the second time it was finally wrapped in a decent manner.

At the beginning, Gu Rao wrapped five, he could wrap one or two, and after he became proficient, the speed of wrapping zongzi was faster than Gu Rao's, and in less than a stick of incense, the prepared pork and fresh zongzi stuffed zongzi were wrapped.

Gu Rao asked, "Have you counted?" ”

Besino's nodded.

"I've got eighty-eight."

Gu Rao hammered the back that was a little sore, calculated it and said, "You wrapped eighty-eight, I wrapped seventy, and the pork fresh brown alone wrapped one hundred and fifty-eight." ”

"There were twelve guests who registered yesterday."

"After dawn, we released the news that anyone who ate rice noodles in a casserole at our house yesterday can continue to register, and after registration, they can also receive a zongzi."

"When we registered, we took the opportunity to ask the guests who came to register, and they remembered who else had eaten rice noodles in a casserole, but they didn't come here to register."

"Although Wild Boar Town is big, we have lived here for a long time, and many people know each other, so maybe it can provide us with a little clue."

Beiye said, "Business was good yesterday, and there were at least 200 people who came to the store to eat rice noodles in the casserole, and more than 200 zongzi should be given out." ”

Gu Rao nodded.

"We prepare fifty of our dumplings with each type of filling to give to the guests, keep some for ourselves to eat, and sell the rest."

"You go to the fire first, steam the pork fresh brown in the pot, I'll wrap the other fillings first, so many zongzi, it may take several pots to steam it."

Don't go wild.

"Okay."

The couple was busy working when there was a knock at the door.

Besino's was about to get up.

Gu Rao hurriedly said, "It should be that the salted duck eggs ordered yesterday have arrived, I'll go out and count them first, and then you can come out and help me bring them in later." ”

Besino's choice but to sit down again.

"Okay."

Gu Rao walked out of the kitchen, came to the courtyard gate, took down the latch, and after opening the door, it was indeed the boss who came to deliver salted duck eggs.

"The salted duck eggs you want."

Gu Rao squatted down and counted.

"The number is right."

Then settle the money.

Salted duck eggs cost three cents a piece, Gu Rao was only willing to buy fifty, and it cost one hundred and fifty yuan, she bought a lot at one time, and the boss also gave her two generously.

After the owner of the salted duck egg seller left.

Gu Rao closed the door and glanced in the direction of the kitchen, Beiye did not come out, and took out a hundred salted duck eggs from the space.

After the fire in the stove hole was burned, Beno came out, looked at the large pile of salted duck eggs on the ground, and was suspiciously silent for a moment.

"Didn't you only buy fifty salted duck eggs yesterday?"

Gu Rao coughed lightly, didn't look at Beiye's eyes as a thief, squatted on the ground, and pretended to pick up the salted duck eggs one by one and count.

"I planned to make more and sell them, so I bought some more, and bought all the salted duck eggs that the boss had picked up, a total of one hundred and fifty-two."

"Only one hundred and fifty dollars were given, and the extra two were given by the boss."

Beiye asked, "Salted egg yolk meat dumplings, how much are you going to sell them for?" ”

Gu Rao said uncertainly, "A salted duck egg is three cents, plus meat and glutinous rice, it's not too much to sell for eight cents, right?" ”

Don't be wild, "......"

He had never eaten such expensive zongzi.

The price of a zongzi is equivalent to the price of a small portion of rice noodles in a casserole, and the rice noodles in a casserole can be eaten to a full, is a rice dumpling full?

Is anyone really willing to buy it when it's so expensive?

Gu Rao saw from Beiye's seemingly calm, but actually stunned eyes that he disagreed with the price he had set, but he didn't plan to change his mind, and continued, "Raw materials are already expensive, and if one sells for eight cents, we may only have a profit of two or three cents." ”

"Let's set the price higher, and those guests who receive the zongzi we send will be more satisfied, and they will feel that the things we send are more precious."

"Maybe that thief is greedy for cheap, and he still casts a net on his own in order to eat zongzi."

Of course, that was just her imagination.

The thief is a thief, he can't hide, he steals so much money, and there are so many valuable things, do you still care about the eight pennies of zongzi?

How can you throw yourself into the net for a dumpling with eight cents?

Beiye asked again, "How to sell pork dumplings?" ”

Gu Rao said, "Five cents." ”

There is only one piece of meat in each pork fresh brown, plus the cost of glutinous rice and seasonings, it should only be two to three cents, and they also make money.

"Sweet zongzi also sells for five cents a piece."

Although sugar is also expensive, it is still a little cheaper than meat, and the cost of other materials can be controlled in two cents, and the income may be a little more than meat dumplings.

Beno said, "It's good for you to call the shots." ”

-

After an hour, all the rice dumplings were wrapped, including 158 fresh pork dumplings, 152 salted egg yolk dumplings, 200 brown sugar dumplings, and 200 Babao bean dumplings.

A total of 710 rice dumplings.
