Cao Muchen's mood was difficult to calm down for a long time, and he couldn't help sighing: "Dan, you are too good at learning, I also said that I am a scholar, and I really become a scum in front of you."
Lin Dan returned the new edition of the textbook to Kang Shaojie, and said slowly, "Taking learning as a task will certainly not work well. Do you know what the essence of learning is?"
"What is it?" Cao Muchen didn't dare to answer randomly. In front of this little rural girl, he was a little timid.
"The essence of learning is not what knowledge you remember, but what it triggers your thinking, which is the joy of learning. Don't force yourself to remember something, just get it."
Cao Muchen let out an "ah", and actually felt that this famous sentence was very thought-provoking from the little girl's mouth, and it was no longer an empty phrase he had seen in a book. Kang Shaojie and Shen Jiayi didn't realize it, and then both gave thumbs up.
Lin Dan patted the table and said bluntly, "Tell me, what do you have to do with me?" After spending a few days together, she could see that these three were the type who would go to the Three Treasures Hall without any problems. It is a mother, such as her; scolding her when she has no milk, such as Jiao Xiaoe, who has been disgraced. These new textbooks are probably just an introduction.
Cao Muchen cleared his throat, then took out two pieces of paper, the first page of which was written in four big characters - Redemption Plan.
Lin Dan stared at the paper without speaking.
Kang Shaojie stabbed Cao Muchen, and Cao Muchen quickly explained: "That's right, the show team told us before coming here that as long as the three of us earn 5,000 yuan each, we can go home early. This redemption plan is actually our money-making plan. You see, the three of us are also planning to set up a booth at the school gate to sell some things. In order to increase the popularity of the booth, we are also going to perform three shows at the gala the day after tomorrow. When everyone knows us, we will make money. At some point, I can swipe my face card, right? By the way, we will not sell breakfast to form a competitive relationship with you. Don’t high school children have to study at night? We are going to set up a stall to sell dinner after school in the afternoon, and wait for the classmates to release After self-study in the evening, I will sell some supper by the way, and I can earn a few hundred yuan a day, don’t you think?”
Lin Dan answered inappropriately: "The school will hold a gala the day after tomorrow?"
"Yes, the principal told us today."
"What are you going to sell?"
"So let's ask you! You are the soul of our small team! We sincerely invite you to invest in our booth! We will share half of the income with you. The more we earn, the more you will share. Duo, how is it, do you agree?"
"There is a cost to setting up a stall. Where does your money come from?"
"The director gave us 300 yuan as start-up capital, and also approved a three-wheeled pickup truck and several sets of folding tables and chairs." Cao Muchen is also a person with super action, and he will immediately follow the director's team when he has a plan in mind. negotiated.
The Lin family was very poor. The house was old and leaked when it rained. The courtyard walls were loose and could collapse with a single kick. High school is not a nine-year compulsory education. Tuition fees, tuition fees, accommodation fees, food fees, materials fees, and transportation fees are all the same money. Later, you will have to go to university, finish your job, buy a house...
Without money, Lin Dan didn't even dare to think about the future, so she agreed immediately: "Okay, I'll be a shareholder, three hundred yuan can't do much, let's sell Mala Tang and BBQ first, this transaction doesn't require too much cost. Student Our spending power is too low, we don’t set up stalls at the school gate, and let the director find a safe place for you to have large personal traffic, preferably the kind of late-night stalls that are concentrated.”
"Yes, what you said is right! Dan, if the brothers succeed in redemption, I will never forget your great kindness and great virtue in this life!" Kang Shaojie excitedly held Lin Dan's hands, as if he was abducted and sold to the countryside in a hurry The little daughter-in-law who escaped home.
"Okay, I'm going to negotiate with the director now!" Cao Muchen picked up the plan and left, as if he had been beaten.
Shen Jia looked left and right, and then asked with a sullen face, "Dan, when will our family have dinner?"
With the help of the program team, Kang Shaojie and the others will definitely get a lot of traffic in the area, and if they set up a stall, they won't be able to make money. Thinking of this, Lin Dan was in a good mood. He nodded and said, "Give me ten minutes. I'll finish my homework and then cook."
"Okay, just write." Shen Jiayi ran into the kitchen, poured a bowl of warm water, and said attentively, "Come, drink some water."
"Let it go. Tonight I. Let's just make Mala Tang and BBQ for you. You can taste it and then decide whether to set up a midnight snack stall. Is the tricycle approved by the director available now? It's still early. , hurry up and buy a basket of pork bones from the town, and by the way, find a local chicken from the village, I want to cook the soup base." Lin Dan did his homework while speaking.
"It can be used, I have a driver's license, I will go." Kang Shaojie responded positively.
"I'll go too." Shen Jia followed up.
The three of them left one after another, and the small courtyard of the Lin family returned to silence, except for the sound of Lin Dan quickly doing his homework. Lin Shuanzhu didn't ask anything. He couldn't understand a word of what they said. Asking it would only embarrass his granddaughter, so why bother. Fortunately, the people from the TV station had already returned and were talking to Cao Muchen on the ridge. He became more courageous and scolded, "Jiao Xiao'e, you lose your conscience and cheat the money from the five guarantee households! Jiao Xiao'e, you lose your conscience!"
Jiao Xiao'e slammed the door of her house shut.
The director and Cao Muchen, who were negotiating, were amused by the old man, and the villagers who came and went also giggled and watched the fun, which made Zhou Cuicui very embarrassed, and immediately moved the small desk back to the main room, and did not dare to sit in the yard to do homework.
Lin Dan quickly finished the workbook, cooked a few more bowls of rice, so as not to run out of food later, then cleaned the large earthen pot of the soup, roasted it on the fire, and wiped the inner wall with a piece of fatty pork. As soon as the fat pork touches the hot inner wall, it sizzles and oozes rich oil, and it quickly soaks the crock pot, leaving a sweet aroma unique to lard. This is called a boiling pot, which can quickly remove the odor in the pot that has not been used for a long time.
After the pot was boiled, Lin Dan washed the vegetables, sliced them into slices, peeled the leaves, steamed a few pieces of rice skin, cut them into thin strips, soaked the sweet potato flour in boiling water to soften, and finally peeled a handful of bamboo. Sign, cut a thin bowl of pork belly, and skewer them on bamboo sticks piece by piece.
Everything was ready, Kang Shaojie and Shen Jiayi also came back with a basket of cheese bones and a processed chicken. Lin Dan boiled the cheese bones and chicken in the boiled water. When only two-thirds of the pot of water was left, the soup had turned milky white. Lin Dan kept skimming off the floating powder and excess oil stars, and boiled it for more than an hour. The milky white soup became extremely rich. Stir it with a spoon and still feel its viscous and dense, a clear The sweet fragrance spreads in the air, not overbearing, but very intoxicating.
After the soup base was boiled, Lin Dan took another pot, scooped up a few scoops of soup, mixed various seasonings in different proportions, wrapped them in a gauze bag, immersed them in the soup and continued to simmer. The original milky white soup base became clear for some reason.
Until this time, this pot of Mala Tang was completed. Lin Dan mixed the fried sesame seeds and peanut sauce with pepper oil, chili oil, minced garlic, chopped green onion, and fermented bean curd to make a bowl of dipping sauce. Set aside for later use. After that, grill the dozens of strings of pork belly on the charcoal stove, and turn over while sprinkling five-spice powder, cumin powder and other seasonings.
I don't know how she made it. These barbecued meats are not crispy at all, but tender, like the mutton mutton that has just been fished out of the pot. It tastes salty and fresh in the mouth, and the fat is still very rich, like A delicious fried. Popped on the tip of the tongue.
The vegetables that have been blanched in the soup are original, crisp and delicious, but they have a spicy taste that makes the pores relax. The boiled rice skin is quickly taken out from the soup base, drizzled with red and bright dipping sauce, sprinkled with green chopped green onion, and then stir with chopsticks, stir, and take a bite, it is fresh, smooth, spicy, but With a slight q bomb, the taste is absolutely amazing!
As soon as Lin Dan was at the mercy of all the ingredients, he was looted by the three teenagers. Even the photographer sneaked away a few skewers of roasted pork belly, which was strongly condemned by the director. Lin Shuanzhu still felt inadequate after eating three bowls of rice pudding, and asked his granddaughter to boil him a bowl of sweet potato flour, boiled a plate of cabbage leaves, and dipped it in the spicy sauce to finish the meal.
"Dan, this Mala Tang is sure to sell well, it's better than the most authentic hot pot I've ever eaten in Shuzhou, and the price is still cheap, so we'll set up this stall!" Kang Shaojie said firmly.
"Anyway, I'm in love." Cao Muchen expressed his liking simply and succinctly. His mouth was hot and red, and his already handsome face showed a bit of bewitching. Just because of his good looks, going out to set up a stall will definitely be a hot business.
"Dan, do you still have rice pies? I'm not full." Shen Jiayi didn't care about making money at all. In fact, he is the last thing he wants to go back. He has neither internet addiction nor cleanliness addiction, his only hobby is eating, and Lin Dan is a master chef, staying by her side is like staying in heaven, it is strange that he is willing to go back.
"Wait a while, I'll steam a few now. There are too few kinds of barbecues. Tomorrow you go to the vegetable market to buy some mutton, beef, pork kidney, beef tendon, butter and so on. You can also buy some crayfish and scallops. , so that we can attract as many customers as possible." Lin Dan wrote the necessary ingredients on the notebook, and warned: "If the cost is not enough, you don't need to buy crayfish, I will pay for the money for the tube bone and local chicken today. , you can return it to me later when you make money, because this soup base is used every day, and there are plenty of vegetables in my home, so you can buy from me."
"Dan, you are so talented, you have earned all the money you can make!" When he took the book, Kang Shaojie couldn't help pinching the little girl's tender face.
The three of them tidied up the table, swept the floor, washed the tableware and chopsticks, and left with satisfaction after cleaning the Lin's small courtyard, followed by the remnant photographer. They really didn't even eat a mouthful of soup today, and they felt a lot of resentment in their hearts.
It was night, Lin Dan slept well, but unexpectedly he was woken up by a loud noise at 2:00 in the middle of the night. It was the neighbor from the west who got up to go to the toilet, and found a few dark shadows on the road. Yes, there must be a ghost! He couldn't worry, so he shouted and asked the neighbors to quickly check whether his house was burglarized.
Lin Dan took the flashlight and walked outside, and found that there were a few messy footprints outside the wall, and there were also stampede marks on the wall, and immediately realized that these shadows were coming towards him. However, the Lin family is a well-known impoverished household in eight townships. What can thieves steal from her home? Don't make money, is it a revenge
Thinking of this, Lin Dan's eyes dimmed slightly, and his face turned cold. She is not afraid of anything by herself, but Lin Shuanzhu is inconvenient to move, isn't she in danger all the time? This time, it is impossible to think of a solution once and for all.
