Chapter 279: Okay, brother is the best!
Mid-Autumn Festival, full moon people reunited.
It's a festival that the whole country celebrates; On this day, people will return to their families to enjoy delicious food and enjoy the bright moon.
However, the nature of some industries determines that those who work in this industry will not only not be able to rest on this day, but will even be more busy, and these industries include catering.
Because Xu's fast food restaurant undertook the meal standard of Nanyuan Community, some employees had to stay to complete this task; Xu's Lo Mei Shop had to stay and work overtime because of the huge increase in people's demand for lo mei during the festival.
The holiday has to wait until the holiday has passed, which makes everyone complain a lot, but after Xu An gave three times the salary for one day of the Mid-Autumn Festival and three days of the National Day according to the labor law, and twice the salary for the other days, these complaints all disappeared.
"Bald Chen, Boss Chen! Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! I will send you some food made in the store, and some local products from Qingyan Province, eat fresh! ”
"Uncle Lin, this is the lo-mei made by our Xu's lo-mei shop, these are the special crops of Hezibao, brown rice, arrowroot powder, these are good for the spleen and stomach, and some chestnuts and walnuts can be eaten as snacks. I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival! ”
"Uncle Sun, the Mid-Autumn Festival is here, and all the members and staff of your Disabled Persons' Federation have prepared some small gifts to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is not valuable, it is all some food and braised vegetables from the lo-mei shop, and agricultural specialties from Hezibao, everyone eat fresh and have a good festival!"
"Second grandfather, Uncle Dongliang has everything in every household in the village, and they are all worthless, so everyone can have a good time."
“.”
Generally speaking, Mid-Autumn Festival gifts are given two or three days in advance, or even a week in advance. But it takes a long time for the local products from Hezibao to be delivered, and they are packed or something, and they come and go, and they are delayed until the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
It's okay, at least it wasn't sent out on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, right?
Large and small cooperative bosses and customers, Xu An'an sent them all over, and even the customers who registered for membership cards were not left behind, and they were sent a holiday coupon of [free to receive a pound of vegetarian dishes (any)] on each card.
Although this function cost thousands of yuan to find Ye Ning to open it, Xu An was happy to spend this money, after all, if it wasn't for their help, he would not have been able to win the furniture store so smoothly.
I thought it was over, but no!
The online Taobao store came to a [free shipping] activity, so that some customers who are interested in the products in Xu's lo-mei, but hesitate because they only have free shipping for 28 yuan, have the opportunity to place an order to try and develop new customers.
Offline, whether it is a staff meal ordered by the company, a take-out order, or a door-to-door consumption customer, all of them get a free bowl of salty rice balls with Haishi characteristics!
Salty glutinous rice balls are a special snack in the sea market, no matter what festival, they will basically cook it once and eat a bowl, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is no exception.
kohlrabi, scientific name amaranth, shredded for later use; Cut the pork liver and lean meat for later use; Then prepare oysters, fresh shrimp, and if possible, you can also add crabs, mudworms and other ingredients. Of course, this is the seafood version of the salty rice balls, and there are other versions of the pure pork version of the salty rice balls, the chicken soup version of the salty rice balls, the sausage version of the salty rice balls, and so on.
The kohlrabi is fried in the pot until it changes color, then add water to boil, boil the kohlrabi from milky white to slightly transparent, and then put the pork liver, lean meat, oysters and other ingredients in the pot, and when the water boils again, add the glutinous rice balls with pure glutinous rice flour and kneaded into a small ball into the pot, and cook until the glutinous rice balls float up and then add chives and coriander, out of the pot!
I made money this year, Xu An's salty rice balls are a luxury version, what fresh shrimp, oysters, crabs, mud worms and throw them in without money, the taste is naturally good, if it weren't for the vague figure of a few rice balls, Grandma Xu thought she was eating seafood and stewed.
In the afternoon, it is time to make all kinds of special cakes in the market, such as taro cake and mille-feuille water cake, and sweet ones such as brown sugar water dumplings and mille-feuille red date cakes.
As soon as the water in the cauldron boiled, the bamboo steamer was placed, and one cage after another of pastries were transported from the kitchen to the bulky square table in the hall, red, yellow, white, transparent, all kinds of pastries were cut into diamond-shaped squares, stacked on ceramic plates with blue strokes, which was very beautiful.
The happiest thing about this is Xu Kang and Xu Le, as long as they sit at home obediently, they will have all kinds of different foods to eat, and it is really a festival.
After being busy until the moon worship in the evening, Xu An finally became free, sitting in the small courtyard with his family, blowing the evening breeze, looking at the bright moon, and talking about some short gossip in the family.
"Grandma, tomorrow the opening ceremony of the store on Qianqian Street will be held, and after the opening is completed, Heping and I and two uncles will go to Hezibao for a trip, which will be about three or five days."
Chatting and chatting, Xu An remembered that he forgot to tell his grandmother about the business trip because he was too busy these days, but now he remembered it and hurriedly made up for it.
"Huh?" Grandma Xu looked at Xu An with some surprise: "Didn't you just go there a few days ago, why did you have to go over again, the cooperation over there didn't go well?" ”
"No, there is a new collaboration"
Although Grandma Xu may not understand, Xu An did not perfunctory, and told Grandma Xu about the cooperation with Hezibao in detail, and showed her photos of Hezibao.
"Their life is not easy, you have the ability, you can take a handful, we are also helped by the villagers, otherwise it will be difficult to rely on an old woman like me." Speaking of this, Grandma Xu's words began to increase, and she began to recall the past.
However, as soon as this topic started, it was interrupted by Xu Kang and Xu Le.
"Brother, are you going to not go home for many days?"
After Xu Le reacted to the meaning of Xu An's business trip, he suddenly felt that the delicious bean paste mooncakes were not fragrant, and with a flick of his little hand, the mooncakes were put back on the dinner plate, and a small person sat on Xu An's left leg.
Seeing this, the other little guy was not far behind, and he sat on his right lap before he had time to put down the pastry, and obediently stuffed the saliva pastry into Xu An's mouth, shouting 'Brother eat'.
Although they are brothers and sisters, they will still be disgusted, Xu An grabbed Xu Kang's hand, took off the pastry in his hand and put it on the table, and then took the paper and wiped the little hands of the two of them clean, before hugging the two of them and answering Xu Le's question just now.
"Yes, this time it will take up to five days, that is, the time to tear up the five calendars, and my brother will come back."
"That's going to be a long, long time, one, two, three, four, five" Xu Le was surprised to show Xu An his small hand with five fingers open to the largest, and shouted sharply: "Brother, you have to leave one hand for so long!" ”
One hand
Xu An was amused by the adjective Xu Le, pinched Xu Le's little face and smiled: "Yes, it takes so long with one hand!" My brother will find you delicious walnuts, and when he comes back, he will be able to make amber walnuts for you to eat. ”
"If we don't eat, will my brother be able to go home every day?" Xu Kang asked with a quick response.
Well.
After these two little guys went to kindergarten, why did they get more and more difficult to fool? It's not even good to eat delicious?
"Brother!" Xu Le's eyes rolled, and his big eyes were full of naked calculations: "Brother, can you take us to find walnuts together, let's carry a small schoolbag on our back to help my brother pick up walnuts, okay?" ”
Xu An subconsciously wanted to refuse, but thought that this time he was just going to inspect the quality of crops in other villages, and there were many children of the same age as Xu Kang and Xu Le in Hezibao, so they could follow their peers to feel the joy of picking mushrooms in the mountains, and they could also run around the mountains
The more Xu An thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was feasible, and this time he also brought peace and two clan uncles, and he was not afraid that he would not be able to look down on these two hairy babies.
In addition, this period of time happens to be during the National Day, and the two little ones don't have to go to kindergarten classes, isn't this the right time, place, and people?
The two villains seemed to see Xu An's intentions, and began to sell obediently with a milky voice, and kissing fell on Xu An's face one after another as if they didn't want money, and Xu An's face was full of saliva.
"Okay, how about taking you to pick walnuts and mushrooms? There are a lot of kids your age over there, so you'll still be able to play together! ”
Xu An successfully fell under the attack of the two, agreed to the request of the two, provoked a burst of cheers from the two, and finally left two big kisses on Xu An's face, and went down from Xu An's lap together, and the two little heads came together, muttering and discussing something.
"Grandma, do you want to go over and walk together, the scenery over there is good, and you can help watch these two little guys, lest they run around and can't find anyone when they are happy." Xu An turned his head to look at Grandma Xu.
"I'll forget it, the last time I heard you say it's a train, a bus, and a tricycle, and you have to walk a while to get there, my feet are just right, but I can't walk that far." Grandma Xu waved her hand without hesitation and refused.
Xu An wanted to persuade again, but thinking of the road traffic situation over there in Hezibao, and then thinking that his grandmother's leg was indeed just not long, and it was not suitable for a long walk, so he could only hold back the idea of letting his grandmother go to Hezibao to walk.
When will the road over Hezibao be repaired and the transportation will be convenient, let's think about this matter again, my grandmother in my previous life was very healthy until she was reborn, and there was time and opportunity.
"Brother!"
The shouts of the two made Xu An come back from his thoughts, and he looked at the two little ones blankly, waiting for their next step.
"Brother, are there a lot of children like us over there?"
"yes, many, many, many, more than all the kids in your class combined!"
"That's a lot!"
"yes, what's wrong?"
"We want to bring our drawing books and toys to play with them, but there are so many children, we don't have enough pictures for them!"
When the two young men heard this, they immediately became distressed, and their two chubby little faces were wrinkled, just like the big meat bun full of wrinkles.
"That's it!" Xu An pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Then let's go buy more picture books and toys for them, okay?" ”
"Yes!"
"Okay, my brother will take you to the mall tomorrow night and choose toys and picture books for the children over there?"
"Yay! Brother is the best! MUA~"
