Chapter 192: Preparing Meals Second Shift
Xu Huaiyi pondered all the way, walked home with his hands behind his back, and before he stepped into the door, he smelled the fragrance, followed the smell, and found the kitchen, and sure enough, he saw that his daughter-in-law was also inside, frying things, and in the bamboo basket next to him, there were fried lotus root boxes, croquettes, and now the meat strips were tumbling in the pot.
Wei An helped to light the fire, Wei Ci was preparing other side dishes that needed to be fried, the two of them stopped what they were doing and saluted Xu Huaiyi, "Master! ”
Xu Huaiyi waved his hand, "Just busy with you." ”
"Yes!" After getting acquainted with each other, both of them knew that the master had no shelf, spoke straightforwardly, and did not pay attention to those vain heads, and he would not beat around the bush when he spoke, especially for their three brothers and sisters, it was more direct.
Gu Huanxi glanced up at him, "Did those families say it?" ”
Xu Huaiyi said "um" casually, couldn't help but sniff hard, and couldn't wait to walk in, pinched a pill and stuffed it into his mouth, giving a thumbs up while eating, "It's delicious, my daughter-in-law's craft hasn't fallen at all." ”
Xu Huaiyi boasts of his cooking skills to stabilize his daughter-in-law, but only in the fried goods, he is slightly inferior, such as this croquette, the same recipe, the daughter-in-law fried out is extraordinarily delicious, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant and delicious, and not greasy, but when preparing the filling, it is very troublesome, you need to add a lot of things, you have no patience, but you can't do this job.
Gu Huanxi is not willing to find trouble, the previous treats were simple stir-fried stews, or more trouble-free hot pot, today, she is also for the sake of Xu Huaiyi's admission to Jingwu Academy, only this time, from the morning to now, she has not stopped for a moment, and her daughters have been handed over to Gu Xiaoyu to take care of, just for the noon banquet, so that she can give him a long face.
The more meticulous the dishes, the more they reflect the importance of the host.
Xu Huaiyi naturally understood this truth, and after tasting a lotus root box again, he licked his face and said, "I've worked hard for my daughter-in-law, I'll make the rest of the dishes." ”
When you say it, you have to roll up your sleeves, but you don't just talk about it.
Gu Huanxi glanced at him with disgust, "Okay, it's enough for me and Wei Ci to be here, wait for the villagers to come to the door, you can't greet you?" ”
Xu Huaiyi thought about it, so he gave up, and asked, "What about our daughter?" ”
Gu Huanxi slapped the meat strips in the pot with the fence to prevent them from sticking, and responded casually, "Playing with the little fish in the vegetable field." ”
"Just them?"
"Don't worry, am I that unreliable? Wei Liang followed. ”
Xu Huaiyi's foot was immediately retracted, Wei Liang was still very credible, but, "Why did they go there to play?" What's there to see in the vegetable patch? ”
Saying this, Gu Huanxi's expression became complicated, and he said meaningfully, "Your daughter is young, can you know what is fun or not?" Just go to the vegetable field to see a bright light, in this village, in addition to the bamboo is still green, and our vegetable field is still green, A carp Xu likes green color. ”
Xu Huaiyi blinked, daughter-in-law, are you serious about this explanation?
Gu Huanxi snorted lightly, otherwise? Did she let her say directly in front of Wei Ci's sister and brother that her daughter likes farming? Is it normal for a child to show such an obvious preference when he is a few months old?
Xu Huaiyi read the unfinished words of his daughter-in-law, but he was excited in his heart, he liked to farm well, this hobby is in line with his daughter's golden finger, like a tiger with wings and complementing each other, and he will inevitably shine in this regard in the future.
He rubbed his hands, suppressed his excitement, and said seriously, "It's good to like green, green represents vigorous life, and I will go back and make a green skirt for our daughter to wear." ”
Gu Huanxi, "......"
He added, "Just don't be a cuckold." ”
Gu Huanxi waved his hand speechlessly, "Go out, don't leave here to make trouble." ”
Xu Huaiyi waited for her to fish out a pot of fried meat, and ate a few pieces of it regardless of the hot before Shi Shiran left, taking advantage of the fact that the guests had not yet come to the door, he turned out some wood, thinking about making some more toys for the child.
After a while, Gu Xiaoyu came back with a small car, this car, Xu Huaiyi drew the drawings and asked the Liu family to do it, the ancestral carpenter skills of the Liu family are not innovative enough, but it is not a problem to imitate the drawings, and within a few days, a simple baby stroller was made.
There are four small wheels underneath, and it is not difficult to push it at all, that is, Gu Xiaoyu can easily grasp it, the car can sit and lie down, there are handles on both sides to hang a cloth bag or something, there are thick and soft cushions under the car, and there is a dust cover that can be folded and stretched, which blocks mosquitoes in summer and cold wind in winter, and is very thoughtful.
When the finished product was made, many people in the village came to see the excitement, especially the children, all of them were rare, and there were children under the age of one at home, and they realized the wonder of this car at a glance, which was better than the artifact of the baby, so they also wanted the Liu family to help fight one.
The Liu family didn't have that face to respond directly, and privately discussed with Xu Huaiyi whether they could cooperate, either they would spend money to buy the drawings, or they would give him a share.
As carpenters, they can certainly see the business opportunities in this small cart.
Xu Huaiyi pondered it, bought the drawings directly, according to the relationship between the two families, it is really not good to open his mouth to ask for the price, if he divides it, it is okay in the short term, but after a long time, he is afraid that the Liu family will feel that he will suffer a loss, and then there will be a dislike again, there is no need, so he proposed that the first 100 small carts give him 20% of the profits, and in the future, there is no need for it, and the two families are clear.
In this way, all kinds of situations are taken into account.
The Liu family naturally has no reluctance, these days, the whole family is in battle, all of them are making this small cart, in the village alone, there are several reservations, and when it is spread, the business will not worry about coming to the door.
At this time, in the small cart, there is Ah Li, she is only four months old, the support on her waist is not enough, she can only half lean on the back of the car, and a soft pillow is stuffed in the back, even so, Ah Li is also very happy, since she got this car, in addition to sleeping, she likes to stay inside, let people push her around, it is strange to see everything, often happy hands and dances, and the energy makes Gu Huanxi unbearable.
But Gu Xiaoyu enjoyed this work very much, Ah Li wanted to go out, so he happily and consciously went to push the cart, most of the time Gu Huanxi followed, sometimes he was really not free, so he let Wei Liang take care of it.
"Ahh......h
Hearing this movement, Gu Huanxi knew that it was her daughter who came back, and sure enough, the next second, Gu Xiaoyu pushed the cart to the kitchen door.
"Mother!"
"Coming back?"
"Well, Ah Lixu was hungry and didn't want to look at the vegetable field anymore, so I twisted my body vigorously, and I pushed the cart back."
Gu Huanxi happened to finish frying the last pot of meat, unbuttoned the apron on his body, wiped his hands, walked over with a smile, bent down and picked up his daughter, "Mother go feed your sister, the meat in the basket has just come out of the pot, it's the best to eat at this time, go get a few pieces and taste it." ”
Gu Xiaoyu responded with a smile, he didn't feel that it was unruly now, but felt that in this kind of smoking place, eating the food that his mother had just made was particularly delicious.
