"Haha, it's time to keep it a secret, this cake is delicious, your business is not bad, and there is no stealer." Mao Xiaoer counted out forty copper plates from his arms and put them in the cash box, and said, "Give me another pot, these are not enough to eat." ”

"I want two." Said the man who came first.

"I'll buy four."

"I'll buy one and taste it first."

Another pot of cakes was cooked, Mao Xiaoer and the three took the cakes to the dock on duty, and Haizhu continued to make the dough and stuff it and fry it in the oil pan. Dongzhu was busy turning over the cake, and each time he turned the dough, he had to press it with a wooden shovel, and it was fast to be flattened, and it was big and attracted to guests.

The three sisters and brothers cooperate tacitly, they still pay attention to collecting money when the wind is flat and the fire is burning, and the cake is cooked quickly, and there is only one pot and no delay.

When Haizhu made the noodles last night, she mixed glutinous rice flour with the noodles, and the noodles were sticky, and with the extremely sticky glutinous rice flour as a supplement, she could almost pull out the silk when she pulled the noodles. After frying, it is very elastic, but because there is more flour and less rice flour, it is not tough or hard to chew, even the old man who has few teeth can chew it.

This kind of noodles is unique in Yongning Wharf, and the other is that pepper is sprinkled when mixing the filling, and the pepper and raw leeks can highlight the freshness of the leeks and suppress the fishiness of the pork. The taste is good, and although there are oysters everywhere in the filling, customers will never dislike the high price after tasting it.

On the first day of trial sale, Haizhu only prepared a pot of noodles and a pot of filling, and in less than half an hour, the pot was bare, and she probably counted it, and sold ninety-four cakes this morning.

"Oops!" Haizhu stretched, "Are you tired?" Pack up and we'll go back. ”

Dongzhu and Fengping didn't feel tired at all, but they were so excited that they never closed their mouths. When they were in their hometown, although the two also helped sweep the floor, wash the dishes and collect firewood, and could help their sister do things, they were not as interesting as the three sisters and brothers earning money together.

Fengping scooped water from the bucket to extinguish the spark, and when the heat was gone, Haizhu and Dongzhu each grabbed a handful of wet grass ash and rubbed the oil on their hands, and Haizhu rubbed the pan with grass ash as well, and pasted firewood ash inside and out.

"The wind is flat and the water is poured out." Dongzhu leaned over and stretched out her hand.

Feng Ping took the scoop of water and poured it on her hand.

Dongzhu washed his hands, and then took the scoop and scooped water for Haizhu.

Two pots, a pot and a bucket, a table, a bench, a low stool, and a bulky tandoor, when he came over in the morning, Qi Laosan helped get it, and now he wants to go back, and the three sisters and brothers can't move away.

"You two are watching here, I'll go back and call Zheng Dalang and Erlang to help." Haizhu said.

"Girl, is there too much to move?" The tavern keeper noticed the commotion, and he came out and said, "The stove and table benches can be placed in my backyard, and I can come and set up a stall tomorrow morning and get them again." ”

Haizhu understood that Mao Xiaoer had said hello, she thanked the boss, asked Dongzhu to pick up the basin, she carried the square table into the tavern, "I don't know what Uncle is called?" ”

"My surname is Chen, just call me Uncle Chen." Boss Chen led the way into the backyard with the still warm mud stove, looking for a place that was out of the way for Haizhu to put things, and asked her what her relationship was with Mao Xiaoer when he went out.

Haizhu Fox faked Tiger Wei, and moved out of Shen Sui, who was more popular.

When the tavern owner heard that she had a friendship with Shen Sui, his attitude was instantly much more enthusiastic and sincere, and he said bluntly: "In the future, these things of yours will be put in my backyard, take them out when you use them, and move them in when they are used up." He ordered a guy and instructed: "Every morning, when the door is opened, first bring the table and stove in the backyard and help Miss Haizhu move out." ”

Haizhu thanked him again, "I'll invite Uncle Chen to eat pancakes tomorrow morning." ”

The three sisters and brothers walked back with a basin and a pan and a cash box in a relaxed manner, and when they got home, Grandma Qi was washing clothes, and when they saw people coming back, she saw that the bottom of the basin was empty, and said in surprise: "Sold out so early?" ”

"Yes, I'm going to make an extra pot of noodles tonight." Haizhu scooped water to soak the basin, and when she saw the old turtle crawling out of the basin, she said, "Don't worry, I'll take you to the beach." ”

She took the bamboo rake with the bucket and said, "Milk, the tide will go out, I'll go to the beach to see." ”

"Sister, I'll go too." Dongzhu took the basket and said, "I will follow Fengping to cut wild leeks." ”

"Me, me, me!" Chaoping was so anxious that he couldn't speak, and he was going too.

"I won't take you there, I'll have to carry it when I'm tired, and I'll be holding it back." Feng Ping didn't take him, and led the old turtle to run towards the door first, "Big sister and second sister, let's go quickly." ”

It is true that he can't take the tide flat, he can't walk steadily, and when he reaches the beach, he falls on the reef and is finished. Grandma Qi hugged her little grandson and motioned for them to run quickly.

Turning a street, it seems that the cry of a child can still be heard, Haizhu rubbed his ears, and after the tide calmed down, he was anxious. She thought of another little brother, and she didn't know what kind of character he was.

"Sister, are we free to take a trip to Redstone Village?" Dongzhu asked in a low voice.

"Okay."

Chapter 37: Barbecue

The turtle is not slow in the water, and when it reaches the shore, it becomes a turtle crawling, accommodating its speed, and the sea pearl and the winter pearl walk slowly, and the old man on crutches can catch it.

The people who came to the sea came early in the morning, and the beach had been swept away, so those who came after it did not have the idea of picking up a large amount of goods and making a fortune, and honestly dug up clams and sea mussels in the sand.

The old turtle went down to the sea, Dongzhu and Fengping took scissors to look for leeks, and Haizhu stepped on the soft sand with buckets and bamboo rakes to find trachoma and slightly bulging sandbags.

The fingers were wet with sand, and then the cold wind mixed with heavy water vapor blew it, and the clammy chill crept up the back of the neck along the fingertips. Haizhu rubbed her hands, got up and looked around, and walked behind the reef.

"I don't know how long it will be cold this year," said a woman who was also digging clams in the sand, chatting with her companion, "I don't dare to go out to sea when it's cold, and the price of live fish has gone up again."

"The man in my family can't hold back at home and wants to go out to sea to fish, and he wants money and doesn't want to die."

"At this time, you can't go to sea, the cold wind will make you sick, and the little money you earn is not enough to get medicine."

Haizhu recalled that it was cold for half a month last year, and it was cold for almost ten days this year. Beyond the reef, she looked out to the east of the sea, and she looked forward to the warmth, and when it was warmer, she rented a fishing boat and went to look at the wreck, which was probably full of shrimp and crabs.

When the old turtle got up from the sea, and the people on the beach dispersed, Haizhu saw a man walking towards it, and she dropped the bucket and ran over and shouted, "What are you doing?" There is the Lord. ”

"It crawled out of the sea, not out of your house." The man sarcastically said, "You little girl is quite arrogant, according to what you say, I also say that the sea is mine, and this turtle is mine." ”

Haizhu glanced at him, she walked west, and the old turtle immediately followed.

The man was dumbfounded.

"When this girl came, she brought a turtle with her, and she will find it back when she returns to the sea?" A woman in a cotton hat spoke up, and she sighed a few times and asked how Haizhu was raised.

"I rescued it in the sea, and it came back with me." Haizhu carried the bucket, picked up the bamboo rake and took the old turtle to find Dongzhu and Fengping.

"Let's go, let's go home."

"Picked up what? Is there a big cargo? Dongzhu ran over and looked into the bucket.

"Just clams and three mussels, if there are pearls in the mussels, it is a big commodity."

"And do you guess there's a pearl in there?" Dongzhu gave the basket to Haizhu, and she jumped up with her hands behind her back.

Haizhu didn't guess, so when he went back, he opened the sea mussel and took out three pieces of palm-sized mussel meat, and there was no shadow of the pearl.

"Dongzhu, take two pennies to serve a piece of tofu, and we will fry tofu at noon." Haizhu shouted, her leisure is her cooking, and letting her milk cook is a fool.

When Qi Laosan came back, she asked Fengping to take him on a trip again, go to the tavern to bring the tandoor back, and go to the pork shop to buy three catties of pork belly, and buy fat meat if there is no pork belly.

Dongzhu and Fengping were not at home, Chaoping came over with a smiling face, he sat under the stove and added firewood to Fengping, and called Haizhu for her to see.

"Do what?" She deliberately pretended to be stupid.

"Big sister, fire ...... I ......"

Grandma Qi laughed on the side, "You can't do it, you're too young, and you can only run after another two years." ”

Chaoping is not a problem to be locked up at home every day, Haizhu let her milk be fine and take him out to play with the children in the alley, "He is also bolder when he sees outsiders, and he can say a few more words when he learns to speak." ”

"Everyone is a local person, a clan, and he went out and was bullied." Grandma Qi has concerns.

"Oh, it's not that everyone is unreasonable, and it's not that you can bully people wantonly with a clan, and I haven't seen anyone bullying outsiders when I was in the village." Haizhu cut the mussel meat into thick slices and marinated it in ginger and rice wine, and when she saw that the water in the pot was smoking, she poured the spitting clams into it, scalded it and then fished it out.

"Shiohei went to see my brother and came back? He buys meat, you go and greet him. Haizhu sent the tide out, "Milk, you also go out to go around, don't stay at home every day, people will be sick." ”

The kitchen was empty, she sat on a chair and covered the open flame in the stove with ashes, the water vapor in the pot was boiled dry, and the bowl of peanuts was fried in and cooked.

"It's so fragrant." Dongzhu bought tofu and came back.

"It's just right to come back, light a fire for me." Haizhu shoveled up the sesame seeds, washed the pot and boiled it dry, and poured oil, "Burn low, don't burn too much." ”

Cold oil was poured into the soybeans, the soybeans were fried a little bit but not burnt, there was no oil grate, she could only use a shovel to shovel up the soybeans in the oil pan, and remove the oil a little bit.

"Aren't you going to cook? What do you do with these? "Dongzhu twisted peanuts and ate them.

Haizhu didn't answer, grabbed a handful of peppercorns and said, "I'm going to fry pepper oil, you go out quickly." ”

Dongzhu ran away without waiting for her words to fall, and closed the door of the house where her second uncle slept intimately.

Qi Laosan came back with a clay stove, opened the door and smelled the smell and retreated, and when he saw the neighbors on the left and opposite side walking out of the door to smell the smell, he smiled embarrassedly.

Scoop up the fried peppercorns and pour them out, Haizhu throws the ginger, garlic and onions into the oil pot, frying them slowly over low heat, and the onions and garlic are fried and scorched and removed from the pot.

"Alright, all come in." Haizhu shouted.

There was a fragrance wafting in the small courtyard that could not describe the specific taste, and the stimulating smell faded, and this fragrance smelled mouthful.

Haizhu took the pork belly, washed and sliced it and marinated it in soy sauce, salt, ginger, and rice wine, and asked people who had nothing to do to eat to wash their hands and rub the peanut skin. ”

Qi Laosan was so tired that he had leg cramps after carrying the goods for a long time, he wanted to eat and sleep for a while, and he was a little impatient to get these things that played with the house. But the eldest niece spoke, and he could only do it.

Haizhu took a wide-mouth clay pot out, wiped off the water droplets, poured the fried soybeans into it and smashed them with a rolling pin, and the dull knock sound came again and again, and the people passing by couldn't help but look into the yard.

When the fried soybeans are almost mashed, pour the ripe peanuts into them and continue to pound, then the cooked sesame seeds, and finally the fried garlic and green onions.

The neighbors on the left are cooking, eating, and washing dishes on a fire with the sound of a bang, and when the sound dies down, they mutter, "What is this going on?" Her family is a carpenter? ”

At this time, Qi Laosan was burning the stove hungry, and when the smoke cleared, Haizhu took the pan out and poured two bowls of oil.

Grandma Qi inhaled, and the can of oil she had just bought bottomed out again.

The oil burned to smoke, Haizhu pinched the handle of the pot and poured the oil into the crockpot mixed with peanuts, soybeans and sesame seeds, stabbing sound, the fragrance came out, and the onlookers swallowed in unison.

"Milk, stir it with chopsticks."

"I'll come." Dongzhu was like a spinning top, ran into the house and took chopsticks and ran out again, stirring the fried ingredients and swallowing saliva, "Can you eat it if you splash oil?" ”

"I'm cooking, get out of the way." Pouring in another stream of oil, Haizhu put down the pan and took the chopsticks and stirred quickly in the sound of stabbing.

She looked around the faces of the three children like a thief, and said, "Don't steal food, third uncle, continue to burn the fire." ”

The work of burning the fire is peaceful, and no one can rob him, so he squeezed Qi Laosan away, moved his exclusive small bench, and asked: "Sister, is it a big fire or a small fire." ”

"Fire." Dongzhu first scrambled eggs, then poured soaked rice noodles, rice noodles fried and poured green vegetables and clam meat, almost out of the pot to add half a spoon of freshly fried sauce and marinated seasoning, six people first put a bowl to fill the stomach.

Second Uncle Qi can pick up rice in his mouth with chopsticks by himself, but he eats sloppy, and now there is no one to help him, let him practice his own strength, and change and wash his clothes when they are dirty.

Haizhu finished eating the powder and put the pan on the stove, let her third uncle continue to burn the fire, and the marinated pork belly and mussel meat were brought out, the pork belly was first fried in the pot, and the clam meat was put in the frying oil, and the spare place was spread with tofu. Haizhu took out the fried pepper oil, forgot to buy a brush, and could only use a small spoon to scoop a little bit on the meat.

"It smells so good!" Dongzhu muttered.

Half of the street neighbors suffered, and after eating, they were hungry, and the children who were playing outside the house walked to the yard where the smell came from, and the adults pulled them back halfway. After a while, whimpering cries came from the courtyard of the seven or eight houses.

The two boys of the Zheng family also wanted to go over to eat, but they were scolded by Zheng Haishun and Wei Jinhua, and when they came to Yongning to be neighbors with Haizhu, they found that the two sons were about to be spoiled.

"Take the chopsticks and take them by yourself, as long as they are cooked, you can eat them." Haizhu scooped a spoonful of fried sauce into a bowl and washed it with half a spoonful of boiling water, "If you feel greasy, you can dip some sauce and eat it together." ”

Five pairs of chopsticks brushed towards the meat, Chaoping hugged Qi Laosan's legs and raised his head and opened his mouth wide, "Ahhh

"Oops!" Qi Laosan was worried, so he had to blow the barbecue that was almost up to his mouth cold, put it in a bowl and poke it for him to grab and eat.

When he turned around, half of the meat in the pot was missing.
