The Zhao family is still too kind and easy to be deceived.
When it was time for dinner, Zhao finally reacted and said, "Jianjia, I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I feel that my younger brother and sister may not mean that. Their family is doing well, and they should not be greedy for our family's few pennies to eat."
Boss Chu looked at Zhao Shi suspiciously.
In the second half of the afternoon, when Boss Chu went to the mountain to chop wood and was not at home, Mrs. Zhao explained to him, including what Mrs. Zhou said, and what Mrs.-in-law told her.
Boss Chu was silent for a moment, and said, "Brother Leng's daughter-in-law may not be wrong."
Zhao didn't expect his man to agree with his daughter-in-law's words. She remembered that his man had always been very respectful to the village chief's family.
"Brother Leng has not been at home these years, and their family has taken care of us." Zhao Shi said.
There are some things that Zhao has forgotten, but Boss Chu has not.
"You forgot that when you said that Brother Leng was gone, how did their family treat us in those few months?" Boss Chu said in a muffled voice.
After being reminded by his own man, Zhao Shi also remembered the hard months.
"Mother, do they really think that way, we'll find out by looking at it." Luo Jianjia said.
"Ah? What does this mean?" Zhao shi asked suspiciously.
"If you take advantage of others, how can you take advantage of it once?" Luo Jianjia explained her confusion.
Although Zhou's approach was a bit frustrating, after all, he belonged to the villagers, and he didn't have much money, so everyone talked about it and passed.
After dinner, Mr. Zhao went to make noodles, and Luo Jianjia made tea eggs.
After finishing it, Luo Jianjia washed and soaked the few catties of red beans he bought today.
Zhao asked curiously, and Luo Jianjia explained it to her.
If you want to make red bean paste, you have to boil the red bean paste, and soaking it overnight will make the red beans cook better.
Knowing that there will be delicious sweets tomorrow, the Zhao family is full of expectations.
Because the red beans take a long time to cook, Luo Jianjia got up early the next morning without drying anything. He washed his hands first, touched the soaked red beans, put the red beans into the pot, and started to cook.
After this is done, I go to wash, feed the chickens, and cook.
When the red beans are almost cooked, they can be dissolved with a gentle twist with the fingertips. At this time, Luo Jianjia poured out the red beans and crushed them into a puree.
Then, pour these red beans into a clean pot, put some water, rock sugar, and oil in the pot, and stir fry.
Wait until the sugar is completely melted, the water in the pot is less and less, and the bean paste is getting thicker and thicker.
Later, Luo Jianjia began to knead the dough. After the dough was kneaded, Mrs. Zhao and Aunt Wang went to wrap the salty pie, while Luo Jianjia made the sweet bean paste filling.
The main reason is that the bean paste is too expensive, they have never wrapped it before, and they don't know how many cakes these bean paste can make.
When wrapping, Luo Jianjia carefully put stuffing inside.
After wrapping six, she stopped and went to bake the six to try the taste of these bean paste.
After a while, the bean paste pie was baked. When taken out of the oven, a sweet smell hits the surface.
Different from the color of the vegetable filling, this time it was taken out red.
Luo Jianjia divided the bean paste into four portions, one for each of her, Mrs. Zhao, Mr. Chu and Mrs. Wang.
The hot pancakes are very delicious, and the pancakes mixed with bean paste and sugar have a unique taste.
After taking one bite, Mr. Zhao didn't speak, and quickly took the second bite. After all the cakes in his hand were eaten, he spoke.
"Jianjia, this cake is really delicious. It's very sweet and fragrant."
Although Luo Jianjia likes everything Zhao Clan does, this is the first time Luo Jianjia sees Zhao Clan so excited, which shows that she really likes it.
Aunt Wang and Boss Chu were also full of praise for the bean paste cake.
Luo Jianjia asked them to make suggestions. The three of them had never eaten bean paste-filled cakes, and they only said it was delicious, but they didn't say what was wrong.
Luo Jianjia tasted the taste by herself, and felt that the sweetness was a little worse, but now that the stuffing was ready, it didn't feel like adding sugar.
She decided to make it tomorrow with a little more sugar.
When it was finally finished, Luo Jianjia calculated the cost, and a cake was about a penny.
After calculating the cost of labor and firewood, she plans to sell it for three cents.
When Luo Jianjia priced the pie at three cents yesterday, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Chu were afraid that the price would be too high and no one would buy it. Today, she proposed a bean paste cake three cents, and no one thought it was too high.
It seems that sugar is really expensive here, but anything sweeter is considered expensive.
In addition, she also feels that everyone has no opinion on the price of delicious food.
Luo Jinjia was still hesitating whether the bean paste would not be sold if she was finished, but from the feedback from Boss Chu and Zhao, she decided to finish them all and not make the shortcake.
So today, I made 60 bean paste pancakes and 40 plain stuffed pies.
Some time ago, Luo Jianjia could only sell 80 pancakes a day, so last night, he didn't make too many noodles, and took 50 pancakes at the same time.
After Luo Jianjia went to town, he repeatedly asked Zhao how to sell cakes. You can cut one first and give it to everyone who comes. If no one buys it, tell people how much material it takes to make this thing and how expensive it is, and how troublesome it is to make it.
After the Zhao family had learned many times, Luo Jianjia then went to town with confidence.
The vegetarian stuffing is very popular. I only sold it once yesterday, and everyone is still loving it today.
Bean paste stuffing is expensive, see more and buy less.
Just as Luo Jianjia told Zhao, she did the same, cut one open and let everyone taste it.
Then... the following steps are not needed.
People here love sweets beyond Luo Jianjia's imagination.
Basically after a bite, there is no need to say more, most of them are sold.
The latecomers with bean paste filling were the first to sell out, followed by vegetarian fillings, which were also sold out.
After they were sold out, people kept coming over to ask if the bean paste pie was still available.
Luo Jianjia told people that it was gone today, but it must be there tomorrow, so everyone left with regret.
It only took Luo Jianjia two days to make the already dead scones regain everyone's love, and the people who sold things around were admired and envied. Many people wondered what she did today, but it was a pity that the sale was so fast that people with ulterior motives didn't catch up and didn't see it.
After selling the food and going back, as soon as he entered the door, Mr. Zhao greeted him with a smile and told Luo Jianjia how he felt at the pier today.
For example, at the beginning, I was very nervous, I didn’t dare to speak, and I was afraid that it would not be sold. As a result, after someone bought it, it was publicized, and everyone else came to buy it. She didn’t need to talk more, and it was all sold out in a while.
"Jianjia, this one sells really well. It's like the first time we sold Liangpi before. It sells fast, and I like it." Zhao said excitedly.
Luo Jianjia also found out that everyone likes bean paste cakes as much as they like Liangpi in summer.
Sure enough, good things sell well.
Everyone was happier when it was time to count the money at night.
The bean paste cake sells well, the price is also high, the profit is high, and the profit is also high.
Today Luo Jianjia bought more red beans and more sugar.
In the evening, she soaked red beans, boiled tea eggs, and the Zhao family made noodles. Today, the Zhao family made a lot of noodles, twice as much as yesterday.
Here, Luo Jianjia finished, and over there, the Zhao family hadn't finished the face. Luo Jianjia went to help Zhao's face.
After everything was done, the two of them went to bed.
Today is a sunny day. Luo Jianjia has already dried the quilt. After taking a bath, she is much more comfortable than yesterday.
Chu Wei has been gone for more than two months, and Luo Jianjia has gradually become accustomed to sleeping alone.
A person sleeps in the middle, no one is noisy next to him, and his ears are very clean. Occasionally, he can hear the sound of leaves rustling outside, which is also a kind of sound of nature.
She really likes this life so much.
Quiet and content.
If she didn't have a husband like Chu Weilen, it would be perfect.
Pity.
She was unlucky, and when she entered such a book, she was in such an embarrassing identity.
It is difficult for everything to be satisfactory, and there is no such thing as a banquet that will never go away, and there is no need to force it.
Before leaving, be worthy of your conscience and treat Zhao Shi and Boss Chu well.
After thinking about this, Luo Jianjia slowly fell asleep.
When she woke up the next morning, she went to make bean paste.
If you have a rice cooker or pressure cooker, it can be faster, but it will be slower if you boil it in a pot.
Today she plans to make 200 cakes, 100 bean paste cakes, 60 pies, and 40 shortbreads.
This is already doubled, after all, a hundred were made yesterday.
However, according to yesterday's momentum, Luo Jianjia felt that these estimates could be sold out.
Because there are a lot of things to make in the morning, Luo Jianjia didn't bother to make breakfast any longer, and simply made a tomato, vegetable and egg soup, and ate the leek and egg pie that was just baked in the morning.
During the meal, Luo Jianjia reminded Zhao Shi and Boss Chu that they can keep some stomach, wait for the bean paste cake to be ready, and eat one while it is still hot. After all, it tastes better when it is hot.
After breakfast, make cold skin, fried egg fried rice, rice dishes, and red beans are just boiled.
When frying this time, Luo Jianjia put some more sugar.
Zhao Shi was even more happy when he ate sweeter bean paste cakes than yesterday.
She and Boss Chu ate one by themselves.
After the bean paste cake was ready, Luo Jianjia and Aunt Wang went to town.
Luo Jianjia felt everyone's enthusiasm for sweets for the first time. Before she arrived, there were already many people waiting there.
Seeing them coming, Gou Zuo hurriedly said hello: "Sister-in-law, come quickly."
When Luo Jianjia approached, Gouyu whispered to her, "Sister-in-law, I've sold out the lettuce today."
Excited in words.
"Congratulations." Luo Jianjia congratulated him.
She knows that on weekdays, leftovers bring a lot of vegetables, and rarely when they are sold out.
"It's all thanks to my sister-in-law. They bought my lettuce while they were waiting." Gouzhu said happily.
Luo Jianjia felt happy for him and said, "Then you can bring more tomorrow."
The dog left with bright eyes, said: "I think so too."
Luo Jianjia had just packed up and started selling things, and the cakes filled with bean paste were robbed all at once.
The sweet and sweet bean paste-flavored cake is really something everyone likes.
When I went back in the evening to calculate the income, I found that there were 400 wen, which was higher than ever before.
This time, not only Zhao Shi and Boss Chu were happy, Luo Jinjia also felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
Because she found a clear direction to make money.
If you want to make money here, sweets are the easiest thing to open up the market.
Before others could figure out how bean paste was made, Luo Jianjia had more noodles that night.
In the next two weeks, Luo Jianjia was able to sell more than 100 bean paste cakes every day.
Even if others were jealous, they tried to do the same, but they failed.
Many people can only make red bean cakes, and the beans are rarely boiled.
Luo Jianjia felt that this bean paste cake was not too delicious.
If it can be sold while baking, the effect will definitely be better than now.
Moreover, if there is a store, it can be sold all day long, and the sales volume will be better.
If she has money, she can go to the town or the county.
However, these are all issues that need to be considered after He Li. It has not been long since the heroine appeared, so she can think about it first.
On the other hand, it is almost the end of the year, and the annual competition in the military camp is about to begin.
At the end of the training, Chu Wei Leng sat on the ground to rest as usual, not far away, the soldiers of the A and B battalions were training.
However, familiar people can see that his face is not very good-looking, as if he has something on his mind.
The big competition is an opportunity for the soldiers. If they can win the big competition, they can be promoted and become a hundred households of the seventh grade.
The ninth-rank is the last stream, and many times the war will not be called, and it will be ignored.
Rank seven is a threshold.
Everyone wants to participate in the big competition, but not everyone is eligible.
Only the so-called "elites" of the A and B camps can participate, and the C camp will not be able to participate in the future.
"Brother Chu!" Wang Qingjue came over and sat beside Chu Weilen and patted him on the shoulder.
"Brother Wang." Chu Wei responded coldly.
Since what happened last time, the distance between the two has narrowed a lot.
"What do you think?" Wang Qingjue asked.
"I didn't think of anything." Chu Wei coldly looked back.
Wang Qingjue followed his line of sight and looked over, seeing how many people in the A and B camps looked like they were hanging around, and whispered to Chu Wei: "Brother Chu, I heard that the rules have been changed this year. All soldiers can participate."
Chu Wei was slightly startled and looked at Wang Qingjue.
Although Wang Qingjue is lazy on weekdays and doesn't seem to be very reliable, he knows that Wang Qingjue is a human being and won't make jokes about this kind of thing.
But how is this possible
Almost all the people in the A-type camp and the B-type camp are from extraordinary backgrounds. They are either powerful or rich in their families.
Most of these latter camps are ordinary people.
He understood that the gap in between was insurmountable.
Chu Wei's happiness was only for a moment, and the next moment fell back.
"The sage has long been dissatisfied with the casualties in the last war with Dong Jiguo, and some time ago, a censor impeached General Wang, saying that he was nepotism. Confused like that."
Speaking of which, Chu Wei Leng also participated in the battle with Dong Jiguo, and the long scar on his back was left at that time.
Although the battle was won, there was nothing to be happy about.
After all, they were twice as many as Dong Jiguo, and twice as many dead and wounded.
Wang Qingjue's words were too specific, until Chu Weilen gradually believed his words.
but-
"Brother Wang, how can you know so much?"
Wang Qingjue winked at Chu Wei Leng, and said with a smile: "Brother Chu, did you forget? My brother wants to kill me. I can't just catch me, I should pay more attention to what happens in Beijing and prepare early. No, I just found this out. something happened."
Seeing that Wang Qingjue had returned to his former dignified appearance, Chu Wei said solemnly: "Thank you, Brother Wang, for telling me this."
"You're welcome, I'm almost finished with pork jerky, and I have to trouble my sister-in-law to make some for me."
