Previously, in the new land boundary, Miao He and Yang Dalang had already built a small piece of land, which was larger than the backyard of the old home. Originally, Miao He was not in a hurry, and just wanted to plant the seeds as before, but now they are short of money to build a house, this method is too slow, Miao He is cruel, and decides to try the previous idea, selling cooked food with complicated work to cover up the soil!
And what are you selling? It is his favorite mung bean cake, which he has also studied.
After making up his mind, Miao He planted the mung beans with the soil and collected a large bag of mung beans directly grown from the soil. Boil a pot of hot water. Wait for an hour, then find a clean cloth to wrap the soaked mung bean, and gently press it with your hands. At this time, the skin can be easily peeled off. Then rinse it with water, and the mung bean kernel is ready.
The next step is steaming and frying. Steam the bean kernels first, when the bean kernels are soft, they must be finely ground into mud, then pour oil and sugar in the pan and fry them repeatedly until they become lumps. There is only sesame oil at home, so the made mung bean cake will have the aroma of sesame oil, mixed with a sweet, soft and dense taste. Some people especially love this aroma.
That is, Miao He did not have an impression at hand. After the mashed bean ball was made, it could only be cut into small pieces and long strips with a knife. After it was done, he picked a piece and threw it into his mouth. It almost melted in the mouth. Miao He, who was very worried, couldn't help swallowing several pieces in a row.
It's just that a whole day has passed, and at night, Miao He also specially made flat cakes for two people.
I frequently went to the gate to check, but I still didn't wait for the half-person figure to appear!
Is this going to be three or five days? Thinking about Yang Dalang going out hunting in the past, it was true, but Miao He was even more annoyed. How could he be so restless! So the unfortunate Dabai was happily eating the mung bean cake, and was caught by Miao He and slapped his hair at random. After that, he picked up the cake and walked around the strange owner today.
Miao He didn't sleep well that night, and woke up early the next morning. After waking up, he struggled for a while whether to continue to wait for Yang Dalang to return home, or to sell the cakes he made yesterday in the town. But if you think about the prepared cakes, the oil and sugar are all used up. It would be really bad to waste another day.
Miao He finally carried the box angrily and went out to deliver cakes!
If Yang Dalang looks back and sees that he is not at home, no matter what he thinks, who will let him run away by himself!
Taking Uncle Ma's car, Miao He didn't want to talk much today, and pretended to sleep all the way to town. When we arrived at the town, we went directly to Yangshui Tea House. Always try the teahouse. If the teahouse doesn't accept it, Miao He will try to find a way to sell it in the market.
When shopkeeper Jin saw someone, he naturally greeted them warmly.
"Hey, Brother He?! Why are you the only one here today? Where's Brother Yang?"
Miao He pursed her lips, "He's busy going out. I came to the shopkeeper today to ask if the restaurant accepts mung bean cakes. I made more at home. If they don't accept them here, I'll sell them outside."
Shopkeeper Jin was a little surprised, "Why is Brother He still thinking about selling cakes?" With all the income from selling vegetables, he should be able to live a good life.
Miao He told Oolong that he had to move. He didn't talk about the dishes behind the scenes, and only briefly and truthfully stated the mistakes made by the village chief.
Shopkeeper Jin was a little angry when he heard it, "How can this be?! It should be the other party who made a mistake, it's a bit deceiving!"
Miao He didn't have the mind to chat, just shook his head, "Who made the village head. Shopkeeper Jin, let me give you a taste first?"
Shopkeeper Jin had eaten Miao He’s cabbage stew, so he was naturally willing to try it. However, when I saw someone take out the cake later, the appearance was quite simple, and the ingredients seemed to be simple and ordinary, just like pure mung beans, and I was a little disappointed in my heart. In addition to delicious cakes in the teahouse, exquisite appearance is also a must, and points are deducted for this alone. And business is business, even if it is an acquaintance, what should be said still has to be said.
"Brother He, in the past you only brought vegetables, so maybe you don't know. Our food here is exquisite. There must be requirements for color, fragrance, or special characteristics. But your cake seems to be a little more ordinary. …”
For everyone's sake, Manager Jin thought about it, and still picked a piece and threw it into his mouth.
Miao He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He has always been confident in the food produced by Xiyang. But if it is not only delicious, but also requires a good-looking appearance, it is indeed something he can't make at present.
Miao He pursed her lips and nodded in understanding, "It's okay. I just want to ask the shopkeeper one more thing, if you want to sell this kind of cake outside, how much does it cost?" As he said, he planned to put the plate on the table Tried and received. He doesn't have much time to waste.
Shopkeeper Jin, however, twitched his lips and answered inappropriately. "Wait, can I eat another piece? It's almost time to eat."
Miao He was taken aback and nodded.
Seeing that Shopkeeper Jin picked another piece to send to the entrance, he narrowed his eyes slightly this time. It seems that he is carefully feeling the taste conveyed by this humble cake. After eating, I looked at the serving size of the trial plate. There were only three pieces per plate, and now there is only one piece left.
Shopkeeper Jin didn’t even ask any questions this time, he quickly took it and ate it! !
After a while, he turned his mouth again.
Magical! ! Really magical! ! Does this cake really have the urge to take one bite after another
Sweet but not greasy, the melt-in-the-mouth softness fully expresses the delicacy and sweetness of mung bean kernels! !
And when the wonderful taste is completely dispersed in the mouth, people will only think, hurry up and have another piece! !
Shopkeeper Jin clapped the table after eating and made a decision immediately. You don't even have to ask the chef who specializes in dim sum in the kitchen.
Even if the tea house is not used, he is happy to buy it and eat it for himself!
"Don't be busy, this cake, we'll take it! The shopkeeper, I talked a little faster, but this cake is really delicious, so delicious that it's just mung beans! Even if it looks ugly, it's totally fine! I'll definitely accept it, Absolutely! How about a small piece of money today? How about three dollars? Later, I will ask the master to give you a set of impressions, you will use that set of impressions to make cakes, and in the future we will use half a bunch of money to buy one!"
Miao He opened his eyes slightly! What he did yesterday was at least fifty small pieces. A small piece of three dollars, fifty dollars is almost a dime and a half? If it is made with mold, it may be larger, but more quantity is totally fine!
It is possible to achieve the amount of triangular silver in one day. And three days is one or two, and thirty days is twelve!
Then the money for building a house must be an extra budget!
Miao He finally smiled, "Okay, thank you shopkeeper! Then I'll give this one in the future!"
Shopkeeper Jin laughed and said, "No problem, no problem, the more the better, the better!"
This time, the two of them didn't have a contract. Anyway, it was a matter of handing over the money and delivering the goods in one hand. Miao He later received a set of wooden impressions from the shopkeeper Jin, and then went to the food store to add sugar and a small pot of lard. I was afraid that some people would not like the taste of sesame oil. The mung bean cake made with lard was easy to eat. More fragrant and purer.
When returning to the village this afternoon, Miao He, who was in a slightly relaxed mood, walked home slowly.
But when he got home, he saw that the house was still empty, only Da Bai Dian Dian ran out. Miao He squatted down in disappointment and picked up the little black cat that had already taken some weight.
Suddenly I thought, if I had really reconciled with Dalang and didn't plan to go home, wouldn't this kind of life be like this today when I made money, went home, and lived alone
Miao He couldn't help rubbing the restless little black cat in his arms, "You're not even here."
The little black cat put a white circle around its mouth and meowed. I don't know if I agree or if I'm hungry. Later, it got close to someone to smell it, and smelled the mung bean cake on Miao He's hand. It was the delicious cake yesterday! ! He licked it enthusiastically, and meowed a few more times.
Miao He understood this time and muttered, "No wonder you are not clingy. You are a foodie!"
The little black cat opened his eyes innocently. What is a foodie? Can I eat it
Miao He, who was still accompanied by only the little black cat, was fortunately tired and fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed. However, I woke up early the next morning and prepared more mung bean cakes without distraction.
This time he has to do more, and the preparation is heavier and more time-consuming. Last time, there was a technical part that was not completely overcome, that is, the mashed mung bean was not milled carefully enough. There was no juicer or food processor, and there was no sieve with a mesh. Miao He tried to grind it as much as possible. Wrapped and beaten, thanks to the mung beans from the soil, the mung beans are really good, otherwise the taste that melts in the mouth will be worse.
When encountering a large amount of bean paste, this point must be overcome with more effort. So he did it all day and was busy until the evening before Miao He completed his goal. He used the impressions to make 60 pieces, which were exactly triangular silver.
Keren is also a tired stall, so the cake delivery has to wait for tomorrow. Money is not so easy to earn. Twelve taels a month, the cost was not counted at that time, and I was afraid that it would have to be reduced to fifty taels.
This night, he also fell asleep in a daze. When Miao He woke up with a sore back the next day, it was already past the time for the donkey cart to depart!
Miao He sighed angrily, what can I do? I have to carry it today.
In addition, the cake can't be dropped, so it has to be placed in a square box in layers and stable. Although it is the same as the one they use to deliver the food, the precision of handling is absolutely different, and it can't even shake. Miao He felt that his head was big when he thought about it, but he still gritted his teeth and found a pole!
It's just that Miao He looks too high on his physical strength. Maybe this body was used to doing work before, and after being fed by Yang Dalang for several months, the original physical strength was not as good as before. Not long after leaving, Miao He started panting.
It was around noon and the sun was very bright. There were hardly any people on the way to the town. People who walk are willing to walk in the early morning when the sun is not so bright. Miao He wore a bamboo hat on his head to shade his head, and he was still sweating like rain, and his physical strength was consumed faster. Soon Miao He could only stare at the ground with his eyes straight, and shuffled step by step.
Until a shadow in front of him blocked his way, Miao He sluggishly wanted to push up the bucket hat to see who it was. At this time, the weight on his shoulders was actually light, as if someone lifted it up, and then a familiar voice sounded.
"Why don't you take a car?"
"what."
Miao He hurriedly raised his head. Sure enough, I saw that familiar face under the hat! !
Yang Dalang also carried the basket behind his back, frowned and said, "What is this, it doesn't look like a vegetable?" He put the box on the ground as he spoke.
At this time, Miao He didn't know why, but his eyes were red. After a few days of exhaustion, loneliness, and depression, as well as the peace and relaxation that I saw at first glance, my emotions exploded for a while. But he felt that his reaction was unreasonable, and he was obviously very angry! Obviously to teach people a lesson! Why is he crying! !
Intuitively, he turned his head, he didn't plan to talk to anyone now!
But only for a moment, Yang Dalang still saw the little brother's eyes, and his voice became tense. "What's wrong?"
While talking, he wanted to lift up the man's hat, but Miao He held it tightly. "Don't lift it!"
Yang Dalang was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to force it. Just squat down directly, so that you can look up from the bottom of the hat!
It happened to meet the red-eyed Miao He!
"...!" Miao He got even more angry, and turned to the side again.
Yang Dalang chased after him, "What's the matter? Hurry up, someone bullied you?"
"...It's not you!" Miao He held back, and finally turned into anger, "I, I'm all angry with you! Why did you sneak away that morning! You didn't say a word, don't you think people won't worry about it? What!? Come back and look like nothing happened, I'm going to be blown away by you!"
Yang Dalang was stunned for a while, his voice slowed down, "I said, in the morning." Later, he tried to take off the man's hat, but the little brother really didn't hold it.
"What kind of timing is that!?" Miao He angrily said.
At that time, he was still naked and held in his arms, in a daze, can it count!
"I'll be careful. You said it, I remember." Yang Dalang could only comfort him.
Miao He stared and said, "Of course I know you will be careful!! But if you don't tell me what to eat and drink, how can I prepare it for you! There are also ginseng slices, I have already prepared them, look, this time you I didn't bring it! I hurried away alone, do you think I would stop you!? You are like this, and I am angry!"
Yang Dalang's dark eyes suddenly asked, "Aren't you going to stop it?"
Miao He knew the feeling of being able to use it but not being able to use it. Especially hunting is the ability that Yang Dalang has always relied on for a living, even proud of. He didn't want to stop Yang Dalang everywhere because he had Xi soil, but instead made people feel that he didn't need anything.
The two of them are the same family, and if they both want to contribute, then do it.
Miao He said with a nasal voice, "As long as you remember, if you can't come back, I will find someone else!"
Before the last sentence was finished, Miao He was pulled into someone's arms!
With weeds, sweat, and even a bloody embrace, it was hot.
"Will not."
