Chapter 20: Shen Mingzhu conquers the eldest sister with strength
"Eldest sister, the total cash expenses of the family during this period are about 100 yuan, 30 feet of cloth tickets, 6 coupons, 50 catties of food stamps, and 3 catties of sugar stamps......."
Every time Shen Mingzhu reported an item, Pei Wenping's face sank a little, and after Shen Mingzhu finished speaking, Pei Wenping was already full of anger.
"Brother and sister, Pei Yang has saved up a little money over the years, but it's not like you! You've only been married for half a month, and you spent two months' salary on Pei Yang! If you go on like this, even if you have gold and silver at home, you won't be able to withstand your toss! ”
After getting angry, Pei Wenping was still angry, and exhaled a breath and said, "You take out the passbook and ticket book, I will take care of it for you for the time being, and you will come to me to collect the monthly expenses in the future." ”
This is to take away her economic power.
Shen Mingzhu was not in a hurry, "Eldest sister, you dissipate your anger, I'll show you something, after reading it, if you still think I'm a loser, what do you say I'll do." ”
"Okay, you said it yourself."
Hearing that she was willing to hand over the passbook, Pei Wenping's tone was better.
Shen Mingzhu took out the account book.
"Eldest sister, since marrying into the Pei family, I have made detailed records of every expense every day, and the bills have also been pasted on it, you can take a look."
Hearing that Shen Mingzhu had made an account, Pei Wenping was a little surprised.
Bookkeeping is not unusual, because she also keeps accounts herself, but it is generally only in the city that people have this habit, and rural people are not so particular.
Anyway, she had never heard of or seen a rural woman who could keep accounts.
Thinking so, Pei Wenping opened the book with curiosity, wanting to see what Shen Mingzhu had written.
I don't know if I don't see it, but I really surprised Pei Wenping when I saw it.
She, a rural younger sister who only has a new Chinese education, made accounts that are not inferior to her professional accountant.
The daily income is recorded at a glance, and the accounts are clear and beautiful.
After reading the account book, all the anger in Pei Wenping's heart dissipated.
Of all the expenses, Shen Mingzhu himself only accounted for a small part, and the rest, nephew Pei Ziheng accounted for one-third, daily necessities and meals at home accounted for one-third, and the rest was a big oven.
Pei Wenping was about to ask her what she was buying an oven for, when she suddenly shrugged her nose, "What smell?" ”
Shen Mingzhu suddenly remembered the chicken cake he was baking, and hurriedly got up and ran to the balcony.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? ”
Pei Wenping also hurriedly followed to the balcony, and watched Shen Mingzhu use tongs to pull out the unburned charcoal in the oven stove, and was shocked and worried for a while.
"How do you take charcoal and burn it on the balcony, be careful not to burn the house on fire."
"Eldest sister, don't worry, I have insulated the oven underneath, and I will watch the fire, it won't burn."
Listening to her words, Pei Wenping sniffed closer again, made sure that the fragrance came from the oven, and immediately asked her curiously what she was baking.
"The baked chicken cake, the first time I used a charcoal stove, I don't know if it will work."
Pei Wenping's eyes were a little more surprised when she looked at her, "Brother and sister, do you still bake chicken cakes?" ”
"I learned it myself."
After the temperature in the oven cooled down, Shen Mingzhu put on gloves and opened the oven door, and in an instant, a rich egg fragrance and sweet fragrance spread in the air.
Through the A4 paper-sized window, you can see a square tin box inside the oven oven, and inside the tin box is a chicken cake with a golden skin.
It's delicious to look at.
Pei Wenping stretched her waist to look at the chicken cake in the oven, both surprised and excited, "Brother and sister, is this chicken cake baked?" ”
Shen Mingzhu observed the color and fluffiness of the chicken cake in the iron box, and said, "It should be about the same." ”
Shen Mingzhu took the chicken cake and the iron box out of the oven with a baking spatula, demolded it and poured it into a round enamel plate, and then slapped it with his hand on the surface of the chicken cake that was still sticking to the oiled paper, and the golden and fluffy chicken cake suddenly trembled like a baby's tender buttocks.
"What is this doing?"
"The freshly baked chicken cake should be vented, so that it will not collapse and deform after exhausting."
Pei Wenping was surprised, "How much attention is paid to baked chicken cakes?" ”
Shen Mingzhu smiled and said nothing, saying that he was too particular about it.
After deflating the chicken cake, Shen Mingzhu used a knife to cut the square chicken cake into small squares three fingers wide.
Without waiting for her to finish cutting, Pei Wenping couldn't wait to take a piece and taste it first.
The chicken cake has a golden skin on the outside and a tender yellow inside, it tastes soft and sweet, delicate and slag, Pei Wenping's eyes are squinted with satisfaction.
"Delicious! Brother and sister, why is this chicken cake you baked so fragrant, it is still very delicate, not greasy at all, and it is even better than those time-honored cake chefs! ”
Her skills and techniques of baking cakes were brought over from 40 years later, and after countless research and changes by pastry masters, even modern people with delicate tastes are full of praise, and it is not easy to conquer this old age.
Pei Wenping, who was full of happiness, had no temper with Shen Mingzhu at all, she took Shen Mingzhu's hand affectionately, and helped Shen Mingzhu make plans with a pleasant face.
"Although your culture is not high, I see that you are quite talented in bookkeeping, do you want to register for a study class, and I will take you for a period of time after learning, and I will find a way to help you find a unit after the New Year." Pei Yang is not at home all year round, Xiao Heng is going to school again, how lonely you are at home alone every day, it is better to mix up with your working days, and you are not afraid of not being able to keep up with the times, what do you say? ”
To tell the truth, Pei Wenping can plan for her so meticulously and thoughtfully, she really treats her as her own.
It's a pity that Shen Mingzhu can only refuse at every turn, because she has her own plan.
"Eldest sister, I don't want to work for the time being, I want to take a diploma while I'm young."
"It's not bad to get a diploma, so do you want to go to a technical school or a night school?"
I don't want to, "Sister, I want to take the self-exam." ”
Pei Wenping was very taken aback, and quickly persuaded: "Brother and sister, the self-examination is not so easy, many high school students and secondary school students can't pass the exam, you only have a junior Chinese, what year and month do you have to take the exam?" ”
The original owner is indeed only the first Chinese, but she is not the original owner, she was also a 211 graduate student in her last life, and the self-examination undergraduate is not sprinkling.
"Eldest sister, I want to give it a try, anyway, I'm still young, I'm not afraid of failure."
Seeing that she was so ambitious, Pei Wenping no longer persuaded her, but encouraged her with kind words.
Shen Mingzhu packed all the baked chicken cakes and let Pei Wenping take them away.
Pei Wenping resigned at first, but later heard Shen Mingzhu say that he would bake another oven in the afternoon, so he happily accepted it.
However, before leaving, Pei Wenping specially mentioned Shen Baolan, "You fellow villager is a warm-hearted person, otherwise I wouldn't have heard so many things." ”
What else Shen Mingzhu didn't understand at this time, Shen Baolan ran to Pei Wenping and chewed the root of her tongue.
