The next day.
Before dawn, Shani woke up early and was in good spirits. She woke up Ji Huai again. Today, Monday, Ji Fan is going to kindergarten.
The day before yesterday, their family of three just packed up their luggage and left without even an old electric car. Now they have to take a taxi to send their children to kindergarten.
Fortunately, when I was going downstairs, I met Zhang Jiaxiao who was also going to kindergarten. She was sent there by her grandfather, Mr. Zhang.
Both of them are in the same kindergarten, but in different classes, so we can send them there together.
Shani was still afraid that her son would give up and was unwilling to let anyone else give him away. As a result, Ji Fan nodded, carried his small schoolbag, walked over and climbed into Mr. Zhang's car.
"Hold on tight." Mr. Zhang said with a smile.
"Goodbye, Mom and Dad." He shook his little hand and reached out to grab Mr. Zhang's clothes.
After saying that, he turned his head back without any nostalgia, and looked a little well-behaved.
"Let's go." Mr. Zhang drove forward slowly. Shani kept looking at them and waving to her son, but the other party couldn't see it.
"You have to buy an electric car." Ji Huai suggested.
"Are you buying second-hand ones?" Shani answered.
Ji Huai never thought about the second-hand ones. He turned to look at her and said, "The new ones don't cost much, just over three thousand."
"The second-hand one is only a few thousand. I can save more than a thousand. As long as the car has no problem and can be driven." She is actually very frugal and a thrifty woman.
He didn't refute it, just second-hand.
The place where you buy electric cars in town also sells second-hand cars. There are many second-hand cars, and the prices vary according to their condition.
Shani finally chose a black one, which looked like it was only 50% new, and asked Ji Huai's opinion, "Do you think it's okay?"
He was very casual and responded immediately.
If it's old, just keep it old. Who's to say it only sells for 950 yuan? I checked the performance and found that they had been replaced with new ones and they were pretty good.
The town is not small, and they are a long way from Ji's house. They have gone around several streets and come into contact with new people.
With electric vehicles, traveling becomes much more convenient.
We found a breakfast shop to have breakfast. The pace of life in the town was leisurely, and there were people everywhere drinking tea and chatting in the morning.
After breakfast, Shani took Ji Huai to the vegetable market. Standing in front of a stall, she asked him, "Shall we buy six or seven kilograms first?"
Ji Huai didn't react for a while, "What to buy?"
Seeing this, Shani was extremely anxious, "Didn't you say yesterday that you could try making chicken feet? But you disagreed again?"
"Oh, I forgot." Ji Huai came to his senses and said quickly, "Let's buy six kilograms first. My classmate has a second-hand freezer for sale. I asked him to keep it for me and transport it back later. I haven't finished it yet. Just keep it in there and you can finish it yourself.”
I have decided to rent a pawn shop on the first floor, so when I see cheap electrical appliances, I naturally want to buy them first.
Besides, they also lacked a refrigerator.
"Okay." Shani nodded and said to the stall owner, "We want six pounds of chicken feet."
"Okay." The other party responded with a smile, and then started to pack it up with quick hands and feet. If there were more, it would be in bags.
Twenty-one pounds, six pounds is one hundred and twenty-six. The stall owner only charged one hundred and twenty-five, which was a dollar less.
In addition, Shani also bought large bottles of peanut oil, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil...
Yesterday, she went online and looked up the basic material preparations. They were all written down on the slips of paper. She bought them one by one. After buying, she asked Ji Huai what he needed.
He also thought about it and said, "Vinegar, and celery. The taste of celery is not bad, and it tastes good in it."
The two of them took a stroll and returned home with a full load.
Shani couldn't carry heavy things either. Ji Huai grabbed several bags in one hand and hurried upstairs, saying to her, "Look at the way."
"Yeah." She responded obediently.
After arriving home, Ji Huai did not dare to cook them all directly. He first took out ten chicken feet, and then cut each one into three small pieces.
Because after it is made, the selling price is relatively expensive, and one pound can reach dozens of yuan. Cut into several pieces to make it appear more, and to make it more delicious.
Wash the chicken feet, boil them in water first, and add ginger slices and green onion segments to remove the fishy smell. Next, cut the radish into shreds and prepare the ingredients.
Lemons and pickled peppers were also needed. Shani was cutting the lemons. She drooled when she saw the lemons and even ate a piece.
Ji Huai's whole face wrinkled up when he saw her eating.
"It's not sour, it's a little sweet." She took out another piece without even frowning.
Maybe she was too calm, so she believed it and ate a piece too. The tip of her tongue was so sour that it was numb. In order not to lose face, she quietly hid aside.
Shani looked at him with a puzzled face and ate another piece.
In order to prevent the lemon from becoming bitter after being marinated for a long time, Shani uses a toothpick to remove the lemon seeds.
By the time she was done, Ji Huai had already picked up the cooked chicken feet and washed them three times with cold water to remove the fat.
After doing this, you can prepare the water. Boil the water, then add the pepper, star anise, fragrant leaves and other ingredients. Turn up the heat and bring to a slow boil. Then, stop the heat and cool, then add the pickled pepper, onion, garlic and ginger shreds. There is a certain proportion of rice vinegar, monosodium glutamate, sugar, salt, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, etc.
After it is done, add shredded radish and other prepared ingredients, cover with plastic wrap and marinate.
Ji Fan would not be back at noon. After the chicken feet were ready, Ji Huai started cooking for the two of them and asked her what she wanted to eat.
"Let's make some fried eggs and stir-fry some vegetables." Shani replied.
While he was cooking, she sat at the table and looked at him, with her hands on the table and her chin.
From time to time I look at the chicken feet on the table, hoping that time will pass faster.
It would take several hours or most of a day to marinate to get the flavor. She was also looking forward to it and anxious.
Ji Huai fried the vegetables and was about to make an omelette, but Shani didn't want to eat the omelette anymore, so she made seaweed soup by herself.
If it were at Ji's house, the virgin Mei would have to say that she knew how to make trouble as soon as she wanted to come out, but Ji Huai didn't care so much. He washed the seaweed, handed it to her, and asked, "Do you want to put more? Eat more." You might as well order seaweed.”
"Then add another egg." She is a little greedy for eggs, and she doesn't feel tired of eating as much as she wants. She used to add two or three to the instant noodles when she cooked them by herself. The Xia family raised a lot of chickens and couldn't finish all the eggs.
But she didn't dare to make breakfast for the whole family. She would only put two or three eggs in it for breakfast, and she would be called a waste. Tong Zhenmei felt that she was not worthy from the bottom of her heart. She felt that the Xia family was poor, so they should live in poverty. , everything is inferior to them.
Ji Huai saw that the eggs he bought today were a bit small, so he cracked two in, stirred and handed them to her.
After finishing the meal, the refrigerator I contacted was also delivered. It was 80% new and only cost 1,100. The store was closed and I heard that they didn’t want the cabinets in the kitchen. I also had a few large pots, which I planned to take home. , some odds and ends will be sold as scrap.
When Shani heard this, she pulled Ji Huai to see it again.
They don't have enough money, so they can't buy everything new. It's best to have second-hand things like this.
Ji Huai never opposed her, so he followed her and brought back two large pots, some kitchen utensils, and some chairs. On the way, he bought a disinfection cabinet through the other party. Although it was only 60% new, it was only 40% of the market price. Discount, good value for money.
It was already evening when we came back, and the marinated chicken feet had changed color. After tearing off the plastic wrap covering them, Shani couldn't wait to taste a piece.
Ji Huai's cooking skills are not bad, and the chicken feet are delicious and chewy. She tasted them carefully. It was sour and spicy, with a hint of sweetness, which left a fragrance in her mouth. She said happily, "I think it tastes delicious." , the one I bought yesterday wasn’t as delicious as this one.”
He also put on disposable gloves, picked up a piece, and took a bite.
"Isn't it good?" she asked, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she kept staring at him.
"It's a bit spicy. I put more pickled peppers and less vinegar. The ratio needs to be adjusted. If I soak it in cold water, it will be stronger." He said.
"Then you can make something more delicious, right? Let's sell it tomorrow?" She had already finished one piece, picked up another piece, and said impatiently.
"There's no rush." He wasn't in a hurry, "Do it a few more times and see."
Shani is a bit impatient in these matters. She makes a plan and then executes it, unlike Ji Huai, who is a bit procrastinating and muddles along.
In the end, Ji Huai obeyed her and made all the rest tonight. He estimated that there were still five kilograms left, which he would sell tomorrow morning.
"Carrots are delicious if pickled in them. Will cucumbers taste better if they are put in them?" Shani said and then explained, "We all bought 21 kilograms, and I saw they all sold for 41 kilograms. It’s a pound, and the price is a bit expensive. Why don’t you put in more of these accessories? These can be given away for free, and they might sell better.”
"It tastes almost the same if you put cucumbers in it." As soon as Ji Huai finished speaking, Shani was already taking the car keys to go out, "There should be cucumbers in the supermarket now, I'll buy them."
Can't stop it.
The supermarket was not far away. Ji Huai told her to pay attention to her safety, so he let her go and continued working at home.
That day, Shani was very excited about eating. After eating, they made chicken feet together and said to Ji Huai, "If the sales are good, we will buy twenty kilograms to make it tomorrow, and we can make more flavors."
"I saw that packaging box on the Internet. It's very nice and only costs a few cents each. I'll make do with it tomorrow and the box will arrive the day after tomorrow."
"By the way, I also need to buy those small scales. They are available in supermarkets. We will go to the supermarket to buy them tomorrow. We will also buy a small table. We also need to buy tablecloths. Choose something fresh and fresh. There are also small chairs."
"It has to be packed in something nice. There are also supermarkets."
…
She could always think of a lot of things. Ji Huai couldn't help but smile and said, "If you sell all five kilograms, you will only earn less than a hundred yuan. You will spend more than this to buy these things."
"But I won't buy these things a second time. If I can sell them tomorrow, we can still sell them the day after tomorrow, and we can make a profit the day after tomorrow." Shani didn't hesitate at all, and went straight out, and then looked at her own account. "We spent one hundred and ninety-eight yuan on materials today. Maybe we didn't use up a lot of them and they can still be used next time."
Ji Huai nodded, "That makes sense."
"You are responsible for making, and I am responsible for selling. The division of labor is clear." Shani was looking forward to it again, "In this case, maybe we can make some money and make the decoration better. If the store loses money, we will sell chicken feet. go."
“Set up a stall, right?”
He chuckled, "Yes."
