280 Pre-Race Preparation
After the grocery store owner finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and entered the grocery store, thinking to himself: It seems that Ling Xiaorou will come to set up a stall tomorrow, no matter where she puts the stall, he also has to talk about it, this string of work has to be done by his mother-in-law, fifty yuan a day is a lot, and Ling Xiaorou is also generous enough, like Dalang's daughter-in-law selling fruit skewers, isn't it the idea she gave? As long as you have a good relationship with her, you can casually mention yourself in the future, and it will be enough for them to benefit a lot.
Da Lang was also so angry that he threw the rag on the ground, although it was the old lady who could not be disobedient, and the hateful gaze was enough to scare the old lady Wang.
Seeing that her daughter-in-law stopped talking, she cleaned up the stall, and there were people gloating about the stall next to her, shouting that Ming'er invited Ling Xiaorou, the God of Wealth, to her stall.
Ling Xiaorou returned home, put the car into the yard, plugged in the courtyard door, first moved the jar with copper coins on the car into the house, and then went to wash her face.
I was busy setting up a stall and didn't have time to eat before, so this time I simply put the remaining half bowl of rice in the morning with bone broth and put it on the fire to boil, add a small handful of cabbage to it, take out the big bone stick in the pot, tear off the meat on it, fry it with green peppers, and pick up a few tender shallots, dip it in sauce and eat it.
After eating, I didn't have the strength to clean up, so I fell asleep in a daze while lying on the bed.
When she got up early the next day, Ling Xiaorou didn't go out of the stall again, but went to wander around the street, first exchanging the copper money she earned yesterday for silver, and by the way, she would see where there was a suitable shop to rent, so as not to have to look at the sky to get a stall.
I didn't see the shop in the photo for a day, either the price was too high, or the location was not good, anyway, there was no shortage of money on hand, the shop looked slowly, and it was not too late to rest for a few days and then find it.
After swaying for a few days and not finding the shop she liked, Ling Xiaorou was worried, I heard that the football game was about to start, Ling Xiaorou had to put the matter of finding a shop in the back first, the football game was done, it was definitely no worse than a blind date, and she couldn't help but earn this money.
Just two days ago, I met the grocery store owner on the street, and when he talked about opening the shop, the grocery store owner said that he really opened the shop and asked his proprietress to come over to help, Ling Xiaorou agreed, these two people are still very real, and they asked the proprietress to come over to help during the football game.
When I came to the grocery store, I saw Da Lang and his wife who were setting up a stall outside, and they were a little embarrassed to meet, it was obvious that since Ling Xiaorou's stall was gone, the business of Da Lang and his wife was also much worse, especially the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and there were fewer people eating wontons, and they could barely sell half a pot of noodles every day.
But what does this matter to Ling Xiaorou? The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and her strings of incense can't be sold anymore, in the era when there is no freezer, the meatballs are made one day, and the next day is afraid of being bad, and it is enough to stand by the stove every day to cook skewers, not to mention the sweaty minced meat.
In the past, there were many restaurants, so why did you need a beautiful boss to greet customers in person, it seems that you still have to find a good shop as soon as possible and hire someone to do this.
As for the football game, everyone watched the football around the field, and it was not convenient to come over to eat strings of incense, so Ling Xiaorou wanted to make something similar to spiced peanuts, crispy balls, etc., which did not affect watching the football and could be eaten at any time on paper wrappers.
There is also a hot day to watch the ball must be hot, at this time cold drinks must be needed, if you make a large vat of drinks, put cold ice cubes in it, it will definitely sell well.
Moreover, Ling Xiaorou is also quite interested in this Miss Biao who invented football, if she guesses correctly, Miss Biao is likely to be a person who travels through and can cook food, and she can be regarded as like-minded, and it is good to know each other if she has the opportunity.
Told the grocery store proprietress that she would come over to help her the day before the football game, but of course the grocery store proprietress was full of promises, and chatted some gossip, saying that the two of them were having a very unsatisfactory life these days, and finally personally sent Ling Xiaorou out of the grocery store.
The eldest daughter-in-law has a lot to say to Ling Xiaorou, but after seeing Ling Xiaorou's polite and detached attitude, it is strange in her heart, and the family does not stop these days.
At the blind date meeting that day, Mrs. Wang saw with her own eyes how much Da Lang and his wife had earned, and after going back, she put away all the copper plates, and only left some money for Da Lang and his wife to buy meat, ingredients and noodles.
In the days that followed, the wontons were sold less and less, and the money that Dalang and his wife got back every day was much less than before the blind date meeting.
No matter how Ren Dalang explained, the old lady refused to give up, and even said that Dalang listened to his daughter-in-law's words and hid his heart from the family, and his younger brothers and sisters also helped the old lady count down.
The old lady scolded, the younger brothers and sisters made trouble, the daughter-in-law was wronged and cried with him, Da Lang was really fed up with the splint gas, so he asked the old lady to come over to take a look at the business, and the old lady said that her son had no ability and the old lady was tired.
In the end, the angry man shouted directly to split up, which frightened the old lady.
The Wang family has five children, the old man died early, the second and third are studying, the fourth and fifth are girls, and they only rely on Da Lang and his wife to make money to support the family.
Obviously didn't dare to nag with Da Lang anymore, he scolded Da Lang's daughter-in-law when Da Lang was not there, this day was really tiring, Da Lang's daughter-in-law wanted to make an idea with Ling Xiaorou, so that she could make a few more money and let the old lady stop scolding people all day long.
But looking at Ling Xiaorou's lukewarm attitude, she couldn't say anything when it came to her mouth, and sighed, how could she expect others to help her now?
Ling Xiaorou saw the look of Da Lang's daughter-in-law in her eyes, before she came out of the grocery store, she heard the boss lady talk about Da Lang's daughter-in-law who was not having a good time these days, and when she was fine, Da Lang's daughter-in-law also nagged the boss with some family matters, and the boss could only sigh, who didn't come from that time?
Thinking that she had been out of the house for three years, she was not less angry with her mother-in-law, until she gave birth to two sons later, and life was better, but when her mother-in-law was fine, she still did not put her mother-in-law's score.
It wasn't until a few years ago that her mother-in-law was gone, and she had a better life, and her daughter-in-law still had to survive.
Ling Xiaorou was also very upset after hearing this, to be honest, she had a good impression of Da Lang and his wife, but Mrs. Wang's words were left there, and she got close to them, don't really make people think that she is in love with Wang Dalang, and she wants to make Wang Dalang small.
can see that Dalang's daughter-in-law is so haggard and still a little unbearable, but if she changes her position as Dalang's daughter-in-law, she must not be able to stand her mother-in-law's anger.
Take the fact that Mrs. Wang disagrees with the separation of the two sons, Mrs. Wang is not really reluctant to divide the son of the eldest son, but she is afraid that the two of them will not be at home after the separation.
If she really would rather take the silver to provide them far away, as long as she doesn't come to make trouble for herself, even if she doesn't separate and is so busy with business, the two of them can find an excuse to move out and live, as long as the money is sent home every few days, Mrs. Wang may not be unhappy.
Seeing Da Lang's daughter-in-law staring at herself pitifully, Ling Xiaorou sighed, "Sister-in-law, you and Brother Da Lang are very good, but your mother-in-law, I really can't afford to provoke you, I have also heard about your family's affairs, as the saying goes: The fragrance of the distance and the smell of the near, since they can't get along, why don't you find an excuse to live separately?" There is a sentence I said, don't you don't like to listen to it, your mother-in-law only likes the money you and Brother Da Lang get back, as long as the money is sent back on time, what else can she say? ”
Dalang's daughter-in-law raised her hand to wipe her tears, looking at Ling Xiaorou's departing back, unable to make up her mind for a long time.
Back at home, Ling Xiaorou began to think about what to eat and drink.
Like those Cokes and Sprites in her previous life...... It's definitely impossible, even if she knows the recipe and doesn't have the equipment, but she can make some black tea and sell it, add lemon pieces, rock sugar and mint leaves to the boiled black tea, pour it into a vat after it cools, and then put in a large piece of ice, as long as it is kept warm, it won't be hot for a day.
Cool silk, sweet and sour, a sip not only leaves a fragrance on the teeth and cheeks, but also the coolness of the mint is also cool all the way to the bottom of the heart, what is more appropriate than selling mint rock brown sugar at this time?
The football match is held in the school military field ten miles outside Xinchengfu, with the school military field as the stadium, and the audience can stand on the hillside to watch the game after buying a ticket.
It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and one side is a flat road that enters from the outside, which is very convenient to drive. Before the start of the football game, Ling Xiaorou spent five taels of silver to buy a stall in the school's military field, so that she could push in the things she sold when the game started.
It's just that because the school military field is ten miles away from the city, it is inconvenient to push a few large tanks back and forth, and it also delays making money.
Ling Xiaorou spent an extra two taels of silver to discuss with the master who was in charge of renting out the stall, and built a shed not far from the school military field, and then she made herbal tea in the shed, and demolished the shed as soon as the event was over.
The master saw that it didn't matter if he only built a shed, and who could push it out for two taels of silver, so he agreed to Ling Xiaorou's request.
On the day of the competition, Ling Xiaorou got up early in the morning, and the owner of the grocery store who went out of town also hung a sign outside his grocery store that was closed, and came over with the proprietress to help Ling Xiaorou.
Ling Xiaorou hired two strong men before, and they gave fifty yuan every day, all they had to do was to fetch water and carry the tank to deliver water, as for the ice in the black tea, they also agreed with the owner of the ice cellar and sent it directly by car.
After coming to the shed, the grocery store owner and his family began to burn the fire, and built three stoves, except for Ling Xiaorou's pot, the grocery store owner's family also brought two pots, and the three cauldrons boiled water at the same time.
I found a flat place in the stream washed out by the spring water, and sat in five large vats, so that with the washing of the mountains and rivers, the lemon black tea in the vats could soon be cooled.
After the water boiled, Ling Xiaorou poured the black tea bags, lemon pieces, a large amount of rock sugar and mint prepared before into the large pot, brewed the color and taste, and then poured the boiled lemon black tea into the large vat, and the three pots of water would fill half the vat, then boil the water again, and then pour it into the vat.
The agreed time with the owner of the ice cellar was to send the ice two quarters of an hour before the start of the game, and the ice sent was also smashed to pieces, looking at the abundant sunshine, Ling Xiaorou felt that the ice was indispensable today.
