Sudan Hong guided the whole process, and went to wait on the little Jiji who woke up halfway, soaked milk powder for him and hugged him.
Little Jiji is easy to carry now, give him a bottle to drink, it doesn't matter to him that the sky is falling next to him, he is enjoying it.
Seeing that the donkey-hide gelatin had been boiled to the point where the flag was hung, Sudan Hong ordered Xiaoyu to start adding goji berries and continue stirring. When the goji berries were done, put dried dates, then walnuts, and finally black sesame.
Considering that Xiaoyu is a novice, the black sesame seeds were poured in twice, and all of them were stirred evenly. The Sudan red was called Xiaoyu out of the pot, and all the donkey-hide gelatin cakes were scooped out and poured into the mold box. Oiled paper with sesame oil.
After scooping it all out, Sudan Hong asked Xiaoyu to start compacting the donkey-hide gelatin cake.
Sudan Hong was in charge of the whole process, and Xiaoyu completed the rest. After the donkey-hide gelatin cakes in this mold were finished, they were covered with another piece of oil paper smeared with sesame oil and put in the refrigerator.
Because Xiaoyu had to see the result quickly, otherwise it would be fine to put it aside to dry, just wait for it to condense.
After completing this task, Xiaoyu's eyes brightened a little: "Third Aunt, is this all right?"
"That's it, and then wait for three hours to take out the donkey-hide gelatin cake, and then cut it into pieces, but this is more difficult, and your third uncle will come back to let him make it, and we will be responsible for cooking it." Sudan Hong said.
"Is donkey-hide gelatin cake easy to sell?" Xiaoyu asked.
"It's easy to sell. Your third uncle and I don't have much time to make donkey-hide gelatin cakes, so I asked your Aunt Xu to help make them. She would provide me with 30 catties of donkey-hide gelatin cakes every day. That's it, it's not enough to sell. The 30 catties of donkey-hide gelatin cakes are sent to the university town, the county town, and Jiangshui City, and they will lose every cent. In old Beijing, your third uncle has to make it yourself, and sometimes the third aunt has to find it. It’s time to do it, but you have to take advantage of this boy’s sleep, otherwise you won’t be able to do it.” Su Danhong said.
Xiaoyu said: "I will do it in the future!"
"Okay, once you get started, I will calculate your wages, but you have to do a lot every day. If you pay wages, you will not be paid for living, and you will be paid fifty yuan for meals. I will give you five hundred yuan a month. , Of course, this is not much, but I can reward you once. If your third uncle goes to old Beijing, you can go with your third uncle." Sudan Hong said.
"Going to the capital Beijing?" Xiaoyu asked with bright eyes.
"Of course." Sudan Hong nodded.
"Then I will work hard. Fifty yuan for food is too little, and I get two hundred. I can eat a lot now!" Xiaoyu said.
"If you say fifty, then it will be fifty, and you can take the rest of the money back to your mother." Sudan Hong said.
Seeing the money, Ji Mudan would not think about looking for trouble.
"Alright." Xiaoyu nodded, she also wanted to be quiet, and didn't want to have too much contact with her mother, so she wouldn't bother her after getting the money back!
"There is no salary yet. I will calculate it for you when you really get started. There are still seven days before November. You should strive for these seven days to hone your skills. After November, I will give you a monthly salary. How about it?" Sudan Hong road.
"Listen to Third Aunt." Xiaoyu nodded with her eyes bright.
Sudan Hong let her rest for a while, Xiaoyu said she didn't need to rest, and wanted to continue making donkey-hide gelatin cakes, which Ji Jianyun made in advance.
The little girl's physical strength is really good, so Sudan Hong let her continue to work.
Without Sudan Red's instructions, Xiaoyu cooked the second pot of donkey-hide gelatin cake by herself. She thought it would be fine, but halfway through it was a mess.
This made Xiaoyu blame herself very much, and she was also very worried that her third aunt would not let her make it because of this, after all, donkey-hide gelatin is not very cheap.
Sudan Hong didn't care, and let her rest after a few words of comfort: "Just now you didn't control the temperature well, it was too big, it should be smaller."
"Well, I know I was wrong." Xiaoyu said, it was because she was eager for success.
In the afternoon, Xiaoyu cooked two more pots. The first pot was instructed by Sudan Hong, and the second pot was made by Sudan Hong herself. Xiaoyu was very worried, but this time she cooked it successfully. Because I didn't rush forward, I would rather spend more time than be greedy, so this pot came out very well.
Xiaoyu also ate the donkey-hide gelatin cake made by herself, it was indeed delicious, and I believe it could be sold.
In this way, Xiaoyu also stayed at home.
In addition to making donkey-hide gelatin cakes, Sudan Hong would also ask her to play the guqin when she was interested. As for the piano, she didn't understand.
Sometimes, Sudan Hong would send Xiaoyu to do some errands, such as sending some soup to Father Ji on the mountain, so that Xiaoyu would not stay at home all the time.
"You can take this kettle potion to the dormitory building, mix it into four barrels of spring water on average, and then water all the flowers, plants and trees in the dormitory building." Sudan Hong gave her a water bottle that day and said.
Xiaoyu went over to the dormitory building.
After a few days, Xiaoyu talked a little more to her and her third uncle, but she basically didn't talk much to other people.
When Su Danhong and Yun Lili were on the phone, they chatted.
Yun Lili called back because Sudan Hong gave her two catties of donkey-hide gelatin cakes to eat.
"Has Xiaoyu been brought home?" Yun Lili was still a bit taken aback when she heard the news of Xiaoyu's return.
"It's okay if you don't take it home. I was really withdrawn before. I went there with her third uncle. She didn't talk. If she asked too much, she just asked me, and there was nothing else. How can I rest assured at the school? ’” said Sudan Red.
"But what can I do if I don't study now?" Yun Lili said, "What does the second uncle and the second sister-in-law say?"
"I didn't say anything, but the second sister-in-law is a pity for the tuition fee." Su Danhong said.
"So are you planning to stay at home now?" Yun Lili asked.
"Well, I'm teaching her how to make donkey-hide gelatin cakes, and the two catties I sent you are made by Xiaoyu. The taste is the same as mine." Sudan Hong said with a smile.
"The donkey-hide gelatin cake is indeed delicious, but what can we do in the future?" Yun Lili sighed. Although she was much more generous than before, she still felt that Sudan Red came back after causing trouble this time.
"What's the use? If Xiaoyu is willing to keep working, then it will be the same in the future. Even though I am still young, I still can't see many things. It will be fine when I grow up. If Jianyun goes to Beijing in the future, I will Let him take Xiaoyu there, go out more and have a look around, and broaden his horizons." Su Danhong said.
"I just hope that she will be sensible." Yun Lili sighed.
"She is sensible, and now she is helping me with my work at home. With her here, her third uncle doesn't have to make donkey-hide gelatin cakes at home, which is also a great help." Sudan Hong said with a smile.
Seeing that she was so open-minded, Yun Lili didn't say anything, and the sister-in-law chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.
