Chapter 108: What Do You Mean?
can be careful in the past, but the Wang family, who likes to save private money, is gone.
How to be comfortable at home, how to come, spend a lot of money.
If Xu drinks corn paste, she will eat wowotou with her son.
If Xu eats wowotou, then she and her children must eat multigrain steamed buns.
If Xu eats multigrain steamed buns, then she and her children must eat fine flour steamed buns.
Anyway, no matter what, no matter what you eat, what you do, what you wear, she and the child must be a head taller than Xu.
Who doesn't want to eat well all day long, but the problem is that the summer is hot, and the cold skin can't be put away, and the amount of cold skin that Mrs. Tian makes every day gradually decreases, and he earns less.
Now Mrs. Tian is not feeling well, and she is recuperating in bed every day, and she can't do cold skin at all.
Wang also said that he was thin and couldn't do these heavy jobs.
They are reluctant to hand over the secret recipe for making cool skin to a bad neighbor.
After all the calculations, this family can only rely on his Suasi efforts to support.
He got up in the middle of the night to make cool skin, and after the fifth watch, he took the burden and went out to sell, and sold until the sun was in the west and then came back exhausted, preparing the materials to be used to make cold skin the next day.
If he had ready-made sweet potato starch and fine white flour, it would be fine, but if he didn't, he would have to push a stone mill to make it.
Wang, who used to accompany him through thick and thin, now only wipes his sweat with a small handkerchief on his face full of distress.
He was a little resentful that the Wang family was no longer working, but looking at her distressed face, she didn't look like she was pretending, and she had a fire in her heart, and she was embarrassed to send it to her.
The side house at home that doesn't do anything, and the side room where there is nothing left to eat is not a good bully, and he sleeps in his own room all day long, and when he only has a meal, he will come out to hang around.
And she is short, ugly and fat, she hasn't seen her take a bath for so long after entering the door, and the air around her has become bad as soon as she appears, and Su Adong is too lazy to provoke her.
In addition, the corn at home is about to be harvested recently, and the whole family is just working on him, and he feels that this day is really impossible!
But on the other hand, Su Adong was injured in his hand, and he couldn't do work and didn't get any land, and his family was still a desperate family.
Why did the salted fish turn over, not to mention two good relatives, and a wife and a virtuous daughter, he would not return empty-handed when he went to the mountains to hunt, and now his career is about to develop, so if he goes on like this, isn't it better than all this he has worked so hard to manage?
"Humph! What's the use of having money no matter how good it is, but it's just a desperate household! Suasi looked at the narrow and long windows on the back wall of the house, all of which were nailed with fine and dense barbed wire, and pursed his lips, and an evil thought gradually took shape in his mind.
Isn't it so rigorous to prevent rats? Catch two rats and stuff them in and see how the business does in the future!
The next day, Su Qingyan checked everyone according to his own requirements, and after confirming that they were qualified, they began to wash the pots, dishes, and shelves.
When it was almost dark in the afternoon, Su Qingyan crushed the dry noodles that had already been made and reconciled them with warm water, began to teach a few people to make noodles, and sent Liu Sidong to the restaurant to say hello, and the preparations for the steamed bun room were completed.
On the fourth watch of the next day, the sky was full of stars and moons, Su Wan was still asleep, and the four members of the family went to the steamed bun room in the dark.
Dai and Liu Chongsheng also arrived.
Because Liu Yicai wants to borrow an ox cart and Liu Sidong wants to take care of his sick wife, the two of them will come later.
As if they had been stimulated, the whole family lit a few oil lamps, chattered and laughed, and got ready.
Liu's, Dai's, and Su Xiang are all good at work at home, and Su Xiang is good at making steamed buns.
Su Adong and Liu Chongsheng don't know how to make steamed buns, but the two of them have the strength, they will rub the basin out and preliminarily knead and exhaust the flour.
Su Qingyan couldn't pay it down, so he sent buckets of water to various houses, and came in with firewood to prepare for the fire.
At the end of the fifth watch, the first batch of steamed buns was sent to the shelf of the third room for the second proofing.
Liu Chongsheng also began to come over to light a fire on the stove.
For the first time, there were only two stoves, that is, 400 steamed buns were about to be steamed.
When the stove is ready, add water, and when the water is warm, two big laborers will move it up one by one, stack it, and cover it until it is more than one person high. Su Qingyan sat in front of him, adding fire to the two stoves, and sat and waited for time.
After resting for a while, the people in the third room began the second round of steamed bun making.
When the second round of steamed buns was placed on the shelf for the second time, the first round of steamed steamed buns was just out of the pot, and all the staff went to help lift the pot and put it on the shelf in the fifth room to dry.
Liu Yicai pulled the ox cart and stopped at the door of the fifth room, and everyone put the warm steamed buns in the prepared bamboo basket to keep warm, and moved the bamboo basket to the ox cart.
The bamboo basket was wrapped in cotton and white cotton cloth, and it looked very clean, and it was prepared by Su Qingyan early in the morning.
When Liu Yicai drove the ox cart to Hongyun Restaurant, it happened to be around six o'clock in the morning, that is, the time for dinner.
The steamed bun was still hot, Lin Zhonghuo broke half of it and tasted it, his eyes lit up, and he felt that it was better than what he ate when he was engaged, so he took out a few and sent them to the backyard for his sister and father to keep, and then took the rest to the lobby.
He politely said to Liu Yicai: "Grandpa, this number has been counted, it is four hundred, and when you bring the remaining 1,600, I will settle it for you." ”
Because Lin Zhonghuo and Su Xiang's wedding date was very close, he didn't specifically call his mother-in-law's elders by other titles, but called Grandpa with Su Xiang.
Liu Yicai looked at the sturdy and burly young man in front of him, and was very pleased that his granddaughter could find such a good husband, and waved his hand again and again: "Don't worry, just count it clearly, I won't delay your business, go back first." ”
"Hey, have you eaten? Why don't you eat something before you go. ”
"It's okay, I had breakfast." Liu Yicai smiled, touched his hungry stomach, and said with affirmation on his face.
On the way back, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva.
The white-flour steamed buns are really fragrant! But it's more important to make money! Fortunately, he didn't eat on the road, otherwise he would have eaten one less and one less, and he wouldn't have been able to pay if it wasn't enough
Generation.
He walked back happily, and when he went back, he found that the whole family was sitting in the fifth steamed bun room waiting for him, and when he saw him coming, Su Wan first jumped up from the pony to hug Liu Yicai's hand, and said, "Grandpa, you are finally back, and the whole family is waiting for you to have breakfast!" ”
As he spoke, he pointed to a basket of white-flour steamed buns on the table, and swallowed excitedly.
Su Qingyan scratched her hair and looked embarrassed: "Grandpa, I'm not careful, in order to count well, I didn't steam a steamed bun, let your old man go hungry to deliver steamed buns, I put an extra steaming drawer when I steamed the second round, and steamed twenty more, let's eat quickly!" ”
"Yes, after eating, I will steam again, and today's task will be over, and I will be able to rest at noon."
"Oh, silly boy, what are you blaming yourself, I came late, I have time to eat, I didn't eat because I wasn't hungry.
I'm an old man who can just eat something, and it's a waste to eat white flour steamed buns...... I'd better go home and find a nest ......"
Liu Yicai smiled, his old and dark face was full of kindness.
Liu Chongsheng and Su Xiang supported Liu Yicai left and right, not letting him go.
Dai also said that on the first day of opening, it was not too much to eat a good meal, so Liu Yicai sat down.
As soon as he sat down, he asked, "Did you send it to his mother who was born again?" ”
