Rice dumplings

"Sister, do you want to try the nutritious and healthy glutinous rice?" Yao Yi saw Zhang Yue curiously looking at the things on the stall, so he asked.

"What is this? How can it be purple rice? Zhang Yue saw Yao Yi asking himself, so he stepped forward and curiously pointed to a sample made on the table and asked.

"It's called glutinous rice, and it's made with glutinous rice and black rice brushed with sauce, wrapped with fried dough sticks and other things, which is nutritious, delicious and easy to carry!" Yao Yi introduced.

"Really? Then make one for me! Zhang Yue was already curious about this rice, and when he saw what Yao Yi said, he became even more moved.

"What do you want to add, sister? There are fritters, fried eggs. ”

"Is there any difference?"

"The fritters are two cents and five cents, and if you add an omelette, it will be three cents and one!"

"Then make me a three-haired one!" Zhang Yue felt that since he wanted to eat, he didn't care about spending five cents more, so he was arrogant.

"Alas, okay, sister, do you eat sweet or salty or spicy!"

"Salty, put some spicy!"

After determining Zhang Yue's taste, Yao Yi dried the gauze that had been soaked in water and spread it on the wooden board, took a wooden shovel and quickly scooped out about two taels of rice in the wooden barrel, flattened it on the gauze, brushed a layer of soybean paste with peanuts, sprinkled some fried diced cabbage, put fried eggs and fritters, rolled up from the side, and finally tightened the rice ball.

"Okay, sister, take it!" Yao Yi smiled and handed the packed rice to Zhang Yue, who had been staring.

Maybe it's because of the new stall, maybe it's because of new things, or maybe it's because Yao Yi didn't dare to do more on the first day of the stall, anyway, the half bucket of rice prepared by Yao Yi was all bought before half past eight.

Yao Yi packed up the things on the stall, and moved everything to the stall of Yao Jianguo and his wife with some difficulty.

"Is this sold out?" As soon as Yao Jianguo took the wooden barrel, he felt a lightness in his hand, and he asked with some surprise.

"Well, all the less I did today was sold out!"

"Dad, when we sold out, there were still a few uncles and aunts who didn't buy it, and they still ...... Let's do more tomorrow! Yao Feng helped to fill the bag, and he reported with honor.

"How's business going?" Li Mei, who had finished delivering the customer, asked curiously.

"Well, I didn't think it would be any better!" Yao Yifu and said.

"How much did that earn?" Li Mei was curious.

"A total of 132 glutinous rice were made, of which 23 were added with fried eggs for 6 yuan and 9 cents, and the remaining 109 were 27 yuan and 2 cents and 5 cents, and the cost of buying rice was ...... All today's net profit is twenty-one and a half cents. Yao Yi took out the notebook and announced after writing and drawing.

"So much? Isn't that more than we make by selling vegetables? Li Mei silently calculated in her heart, and said that this morning's income.

"That's higher than what we earned this morning!" Yao Jianguo also replied.

"Actually, I think I can let my dad watch the stall alone, and my mom and I sell breakfast together!" Yao Yi has observed, because it is now eight or seven years, many people feel that the factory is stable, so there are not many people who do early trading, and there are few types and do not think about the era in which they live, there are seven or eight kinds of patterns to buy baked cakes for breakfast, so she feels that selling breakfast is more profitable than selling vegetables.

"This, if you also sell glutinous rice, the vegetable market is such a big place......" Yao Jianguo hesitated.

"It's not on the vegetable market, like the light bulb factory, the cloth factory and the steel mill that are some distance away from the vegetable field." Yao Yi spoke her mind.

"The flow of people over there is okay, but there are already several to buy breakfast!" Yao Jianguo worried.

"Then we just do what others don't have, right?" Yao Yi said nonchalantly.

"But I won't do anything early!" Li Mei saw that the two had already planned, and hurriedly spoke.

"Mom is so stupid, she can't learn!" Yao Feng saw that the adults were discussing in full swing, and the others interjected.

"Haha...... Xiaofeng is right, no, we can learn, didn't we know when we came out to set up a stall, but now we know a lot more than then, right? Yao Jianguo laughed.

"Okay, then let's observe for a few days and see how the business is doing this morning!" Li Mei also nodded.

Early the next morning, Yao Yi's sister and brother came to yesterday's place again, and Zhang Yue, who had bought it yesterday, trotted over after putting the stall away.

"Oh, little boss, you're here, make me ten fried eggs, three salty, five spicy and two sweet!" Zhang Yue took a breath and said his request in one go.

"Okay sister, is this for the family?" Yao Yi asked curiously as she listened to this big order.

"Five of them are from the family, and four are for colleagues, and you don't know how it was yesterday...... So today they gave me carte blanche to buy it! Zhang Yue is a talkative person who told Yao Yi with a smile what happened after he went back yesterday.

"Then thank you sister for your recommendation, so I can add more omelette to my sister's alone!" Yao Yi said in return.

"Really? Then thank you little boss! Zhang Yue actually didn't care about the fried egg, but Yao Yi's attitude made her very useful, and she didn't say pretentiously.

"Sister, go slowly!" Yao Yi handed the packaged rice to Zhang Yue with his hands and feet.

Maybe Zhang Yue got off to a good start today, or maybe it was because of the curiosity of people who didn't buy it yesterday, Yao Yi still sold more than half of the rice than yesterday at about nine o'clock.

"I made thirty-five dollars and seven cents and two cents today!" Yao Yi told what she had gained today.

"Observe for another week, if the business is still good, you go out and sell early!" Yao Jianguo said categorically.

"Okay, it's decided!" Li Mei also gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

Although the next few days are not as popular as the next day, they will basically sell out the prepared things every day, but the time of closing the stall will be delayed to varying degrees, but in general, there will be a net income of about 30 yuan every day.

"Does this really work?" Li Mei looked at the coal stove, the pan and the spread of dough...... Asked uneasily.

"Okay, just do it like you would at home!" Yao Yi said with confidence to Li Mei, who had been practicing for three or four days.

"Mom is the best! Come on! Yao Feng also praised.

"Yes, if it doesn't work, we'll eat it ourselves, don't put too much pressure on yourself!" Yao Jianguo comforted.

"Okay, then I'm leaving!" Li Mei received encouragement from her family, and she firmly pushed the position chosen by the family of four.

Although he said that he was full of confidence in Li Mei, Yao Yi was still a little uneasy, so when he steamed the rice last night, he deliberately steamed less so that before eight o'clock, Yao Yi took Yao Feng and walked to the bulb factory where Li Mei set up a stall.

"Brother Wen, do you really have nothing to do with this? Or we'll send you back!" Jiang Dong looked at Han Wen who was snuggling diagonally against the wall, rubbing the purple wound at the corner of his mouth with his teeth bared and rubbing his teeth.

"No need, you can go back!" Han Wen waved his hand and said absently.

"But you ......" Thinking that during the fight just now, Han Wen was smacked several times with a wooden stick by the other party in order to save his back and legs, so he couldn't rest assured that he would go back alone.

"Let's go, don't grind!" Han Wen raised his foot to endure the throbbing pain in his legs, and strode towards the light bulb factory.

"Sister, what is this brother doing?" Yao Feng came to the light bulb factory for the first time, and he looked around curiously all the way and asked some strange questions, which was not to see Han Wen who was sitting on the curb alone, grinning and rubbing his legs, he was aroused to ask Yao Yi beside him curiously.

"I'm tired of walking!" Yao Yi glanced at Han Wen's appearance and knew that this person should have been injured in a fight, but adhering to the principle that more is better than less, Yao Yi did not intend to tell the truth.

"Then why don't I get so tired when I walk, this brother is so weak!" Yao Feng nodded and sighed.

"Well, Xiaofeng is very powerful, very good! Let's hurry up then! Although Yao Yi felt that the two of them were not talking loudly, Han Wen should not have heard it, but for the sake of safety, she still took Yao Feng and left quickly.

Han Wen didn't expect that he just didn't want to go back with an injury, being asked by his grandparents and grandmothers, thinking of sitting down to rest and pass the time, but he didn't expect to be ridiculed by a skeletal little girl and a little kid.

"Mom, how is business today?" After sending the last customer away, Yao Yi asked.

"These factory workers are really rich, and they have made fifty or sixty egg cakes in one morning!" Li Mei smiled and said her achievements today.

"Originally, I came to make one, but then some people were in a hurry to go to work and didn't want to wait, so I took advantage of the lack of business to make some and put them on the edge of the pot to heat."

"Mom, you're so smart!" Yao Yi affirmed.

"Mommy is awesome!" Yao Feng clapped his hands and smiled in praise.

"That is, can you give birth to two children as smart as you, can you still be stupid as a mother?"

After dinner, Yao Yi's family gathered the money they earned today together to count one side, and after removing the cost, they made a total of sixty-eight yuan, four cents and three cents, of which Li Mei earned at least fifteen yuan on the first day, and the vegetable stall made two or three yuan less than usual because Yao Jianguo lost a few customers today, but in this way, it was still more than a dozen yuan more than usual.

"Although people have worked hard, the income is nearly seventy yuan a day, but I couldn't even think of it before!" Yao Jianguo counted the money and put it away, and said with emotion.

"Yes, if this is the case every day, our family will soon be able to become a 10,000 yuan household! When the time comes, we will also return home! Li Mei thought of the last time she returned to her hometown for the Chinese New Year, and the majestic appearance of the 10,000 households in the next town.

"Mom and Dad, I still have more than a month to go to school, and the family's income will definitely be reduced by then." Although Yao Yi doesn't want to pour cold water on this momentum, the reality that should be faced still has to be faced.
