Chapter Thirty-Nine: Own Money

I counted the two weeks I got married, but the money in Shuxin's hand is getting less and less.

Now that the oven is ready, those little desserts will naturally be made quickly.

Due to the inconvenience of travel on the island, you can't make cakes and mousse, and you can only make something that is convenient to preserve.

After thinking about it, I chose shredded coconut balls, desiccated coconut biscuits, and Chinese-style coconut soufflé.

The ingredients for these desserts are desiccated coconut and eggs.

Desiccated coconut is very easy to solve, the island is full of coconuts, take some money, let the "thin monkey" help find a few more children to pick together, and the "thin monkey" helps the overseer.

As for eggs, Shu Xin remembered that Jin Zhi's sister-in-law said that there was a military sister-in-law in the family area of Lianpai who raised many chickens at home, and she could lay twenty or thirty eggs a day.

She had bought a lot of sugar and flour from the supply and marketing cooperatives before, as well as oil.

In addition to the Chinese coconut soufflé that uses lard, the traditional shredded coconut balls and desiccated coconut biscuits should be made with butter.

However, that thing was imported, and it also needed to be frozen and transported, and in the nineties, she couldn't buy it personally, and she could only buy it through the back kitchen of a big hotel, let alone now.

If you can't buy it, you can only improve it, she thought about it, using coconut oil and tasteless corn oil, it is not as good as butter products in terms of milk flavor, but it adds a coconut aroma, and the taste should not be bad.

Today is Monday, she has to make a batch of finished products first, let Sister-in-law Jin Zhi and Qianqian help them taste the taste, and tomorrow she can make a large number of them, and Wednesday is just to take a boat out.

But there are no eggs at home, so I have to go out and buy them now.

When Shu Xin came over with a bamboo basket to ask for directions, Jinzhi's sister-in-law was still frying sauce at home.

The sauce I made last time was smashed by Wang Dali's bastard, and when I saw that Shu Xin was coming, I hurriedly asked her to help her do the math.

She took a notebook that Yiyi had used, and wrote and drew in the back, but she didn't understand it after a long time.

Shu Xin asked only to know that she was calculating costs and profits.

"I got a new account book, mine and his separation, I spent mine, he spent his, didn't he smash the sauce that was fried last time, I thought about crediting this cost to his account."

Comfortable and happy, I didn't expect it, Sister-in-law Jin Zhi thought about it quite openly, but it is not enough to calculate the cost alone, so much rice sauce last time also cost Sister-in-law Jin Zhi so much effort, if you want to settle the account, you have to calculate it according to the selling price.

Sister-in-law Jin Zhi said that she was unwilling to do anything.

She didn't want to be touched by Wang Dali's light at all.

Shu Xin had no choice, so she had to help her calculate it according to the cost.

Thirty-five bottles of sauce, she desperately rounded up, and the total cost was only five dollars for that bastard.

Sister-in-law Jin Zhi took out her pen and turned the page again, writing as she spoke.

"Last time, I earned fifteen yuan, and it cost me five yuan to buy something for my family, and I still have ten yuan left, and this time I want to make fifty bottles, in addition to the vegetables I grow, it costs three yuan to buy meat, so it's seven yuan, and then I take out five yuan from his salary..."

"Then I still have twelve dollars!"

After making it clear, she held Shu Xin's hand and didn't let go.

"Comfortable! Twelve bucks of my own! ”

Shu Xin couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only nod his head.

"Hmmm! More on the horizon! ”

Sister-in-law Jin Zhi couldn't walk away with the sauce boiling in the pot, so she drew the route to her.

Comfortably found it all the way.

There are no small courtyards of single houses, but large courtyards like courtyards, one into one and one in, with three sides and three or four houses on each side.

A slightly higher level can be divided into a whole house, and a lower level can only have one or two rooms.

The large courtyard surrounded on three sides is shared by everyone.

It was past ten o'clock in the morning, and before it was time to cook, women gathered together to make wool and sew clothes.

Shu Xin had never seen this kind of yard before, and was a little curious for a while.

I looked at the paper that it was written in the third entrance to the west and the second household, and as soon as I entered the gate of the third entrance courtyard, I took two steps towards the west, and an egg flew through the window next to it and almost hit her.

She stepped back, and the egg smashed impartially on the door of the second house in the west, and a scolding voice came immediately.

"Niu Erhua! Believe it or not, I'll give you rat poison, and these chickens are all drugged to death! Giggling all day long! Don't let people sleep?! ”

The first woman in the second household in the west was busy apologizing.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! When my man comes back in the evening, I'll ask him to help me move the coop a little farther away! Absolutely not affect your sleep! ”

"What the hell! Bad luck is dead! ”

Hearing that the window was closed, the door of the West Second Household creaked open, and Niu Erhua, who was dressed in a floral dress, hurriedly apologized.

"Comrade, I'm sorry, the egg didn't hit you, did it?"

"No, no!"

Shu Xin hurriedly shook his head.

Knowing that Shu Xin was here to buy eggs, Niu Erhua was very happy, crossed a basket from home, took a scale, and asked Shu Xin to follow her.

Shu Xin thought that the female comrade could scold like this, it must be because it was very close, but she didn't expect it to be hundreds of meters away from this courtyard.

The chicken coop built by bamboo was crowded with more than 20 chickens.

However, Niu Erhua is separated by a layer below, and the chicken manure is cleaned very cleanly, and there is basically no peculiar smell.

"Comrade, how many eggs do you want?"

Shu Xin looked at the big and round egg under it, and smiled.

"As much as you want!"

"Okay! I'll pick it up for you! ”

Niu Erhua moved quickly, and after picking up more than 20 eggs, he weighed comfortably, four catties high, and only counted four catties and eight yuan.

Shu Xin saw that the vegetables and fruits in the pond in front of her house were growing vigorously, and asked her if she had any vegetable seeds by the way.

Niu Erhua nodded.

"Yes, yes, yes! Spinach, leeks, cucumbers, etc., what do you want, I can help you find something! ”

Shu Xin followed her home, waited in the yard for a while, and Niu Erhua brought her a large number of seeds, which were wrapped in small paper.

"How much!"

Hearing Shuxin ask her the price, she hurriedly waved her hand.

"It's not worth it! You can just take it and plant it! Everyone is a military family! Help each other as it should! ”

Niu Erhua had a loud voice, and the person who smashed the egg at Niu Erhua just now opened the window again, and the cool words drilled out along the wind.

"You're going to do it! Day by day! Three melons and two dates buy people's hearts! You're the one who brought my children to ruin! ”

Niu Erhua was a little embarrassed, and sent Shu Xin out of the door, Shu Xin turned around by chance, but saw a color-blocked floral cloth pocket on the family's windowsill.

This floral cloth pocket was sewn by herself, and it was not sold on the market at all, she just gave him one last time when she brought a snack to the "thin monkey".

"Comrade, who was that woman just now...?"
