Mrs. Fang's husband was called back soon, Mrs. Fang told him the situation, he nodded and said, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll find Master Gu and ask him to come and write us a face-to-face. Deed."
Afraid that Li Hehua would not understand, Mrs. Fang explained: "Master Gu is a new master who has recently moved here. He is very knowledgeable and specializes in teaching children to read. My children are also sent to study. We don't know a single character. , I usually go to Master Gu for help with writing and recognizing anything, and he will help us."
Li Hehua could hear that Mrs. Fang's Master Gu was a very nice person.
After a while, Brother Fang, who went out to find someone, came back, followed by another person, who was the Master Gu in their mouths.
Li Hehua looked up, and was stunned at this sight, and the man on the opposite side who happened to be looking over was also stunned.
Li Hehua never thought that Master Gu was the one who just came to buy her cakes.
Gu Zhijin also didn't think that the person who Big Brother Fang wanted to rent a house was actually the owner of the bakery. After being surprised, he came back to his senses and hurriedly said hello, "I didn't expect it to be you, what a coincidence."
Li Hehua also smiled and nodded, "Yes, what a coincidence."
Brother Fang and sister-in-law Fang on the side were stunned when they saw the two of them, "Do you know each other?"
Gu Zhijin explained with a smile: "I do know. My nephew likes to eat the cakes sold by this lady."
Big Brother Fang suddenly said, "So that's what happened, it's really a coincidence."
After greeting, Li Hehua thought that it was getting late, so he said, "I have to trouble Master Gu to help us write a lease."
Gu Zhijin nodded, seeing that Li Hehua was very anxious about this matter, so he didn't say more, put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone he brought on the table, picked up the brush and dipped some ink, and then wrote directly on the paper, while writing He also read out what was written, so that both parties could understand what was written on the paper.
Gu Zhijin's writing is very fast, and the handwriting is very beautiful. According to Li Hehua's vision, if it is placed in modern times, it is definitely a generation of calligraphy masters, and maybe it is also very good in this era.
After writing on a piece of paper, Gu Zhijin changed another piece of paper and wrote it again. When the last word was finished, Gu Zhijin stopped writing, put the brush on the pen holder by pressing the cuff, and gently picked up the paper and blew it. Let the handwriting on it dry quickly, and then hand it to Li Hehua and the Fang family couple, "Okay, let's see, if there is no problem, just press your handprint on it."
Li Hehua just saw it all. The above content is what was said before, and there is nothing wrong with it, so he nodded and said, "No problem."
The Fang family's husband and wife were illiterate, but they trusted Gu Zhijin very much, and they nodded quickly and said that there was no problem.
There is no objection on both sides, so they each press their fingerprints on the contract, and the contract is officially effective.
Li Hehua took out 1,440 pennies from his pocket and gave it to the Fang family and his wife, "Big brother Fang, sister-in-law Fang, this is half a year's rent, a total of 1,440 pennies, you can count them. "
The husband and wife hurriedly counted, and it was indeed 1,440 pennies, so they took the money and counted it carefully. There was no problem with the number. Brother Fang smiled and said: "No problem, then from today, the small courtyard will be closed. I rent it to you." Then he took out a bunch of keys and handed it to Li Hehua, "Come on, this is the key to the courtyard."
Li Hehua took the key and was relieved that the problem of this house was completely solved.
The Fang family and their husband immediately thanked Gu Zhijin, "Thank you, Master Gu, I'll trouble you again today."
Gu Zhijin was packing up the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone that he brought, and when he heard this, he raised his head and shook his head lightly, "You're welcome, neighbors should help each other."
Li Hehua also blessed Gu Zhijin, "Thank you, Master Gu."
Gu Zhijin smiled and said, "You're welcome, if you say thank you, I should also thank you."
Li Hehua understood what he meant by Xie, and smiled back.
Because the yard has all kinds of furniture, it is enough to just bring the things to live in. Considering that he is going to Shangshui Village tomorrow, Li Hehua decided to move in the day after tomorrow. After selling the cakes the day after tomorrow, he will not go back to the village with Cao Simei, but go directly to the small courtyard. stay.
In a happy mood, Li Hehua returned to the He's house. The first thing he did was to tell the He family about the renting of the yard. It was okay for Cao Simei to be mentally prepared, but the three children in the family were reluctant and did not want Li Hehua to leave.
Li Hehua had to persuade and persuade and coax to coax the children, but he was very relieved, after all, the children really liked her and they couldn't bear it.
After talking about this, Li Hehua took the time to make the cakes that will be sold tomorrow, and then started to make shredded apples.
Wash all the apples first, then peel them, cut them into small pieces and pat them with flour for later use. At the same time, separate the egg whites from the eggs, add starch to make a paste, and then put the prepared diced apples on top. Stir in egg mixture evenly.
Farmers are rarely willing to eat fruit, and even if they eat it, they eat it raw. No one has ever seen apples treated like this. Cao Simei looked at it in confusion and asked, "Sister, what are you doing? Why did you make a good apple like this?"
While pouring oil into the hot pot, Li Hehua explained to Simei Cao: "I'm making shredded apples. This is a very delicious dish that children like to eat. I promised to give it to the little guy at home. Made it, and brought it to him tomorrow to eat."
Cao Simei, who has never heard of the apples, thinks that as long as it is made by Li Hehua, it must be delicious. "Sister, you are really amazing. You can cook anything, and everything is delicious."
When Cao Simei said this, she suddenly sighed, "I said, girl, you are so concerned about the child, I feel uncomfortable looking at it, how can I live without the child by my mother's side, why did you leave you before? You? Obviously so good~"
Li Hehua twitched the corners of his mouth, not knowing how to explain his own affairs, because he couldn't explain it clearly, so he sighed and didn't speak.
Fortunately, Cao Simei didn't want to make Li Hehua unhappy, so after speaking, she changed the subject and talked about other things.
Li Hehua said without delaying the movements of his hands. After the oil was six minutes hot, he put the apples into the pan to fry.
Then, put sugar and water in the pot to make syrup, boil until the big bubbles turn into small bubbles and thicken, tell Cao Simei to turn off the heat, then go to the last step, put the apples in the pot, add an appropriate amount of sesame and mix well. But, the shredded apple is ready.
Li Hehua put the shredded apples in the pot into two porcelain bowls, one for the little guy and the other for the Master Gu tomorrow.
Li Hehua deliberately calculated the amount. After the two bowls were finished, there was still a lot left in the pot, which was specially eaten for the three children of the He family.
Li Hehua brought the pot to the main room and called the three children out to eat.
Hearing Li Hehua's call, the three children of the He family ran faster than rabbits, rushing from all directions, looking at the thing in Li Hehua's hand, their eyes lit up.
"Aunt Lotus, what are you doing delicious? It's delicious."
Li Hehua put the bowl on the table, "This is a new dish, called shredded apple, you can try it."
Xiao San'er looked at the crystal clear apple pieces in the bowl, swallowed her saliva, and asked, "Aunt Lotus, why is it called a silk apple?"
Li Hehua did not explain, but directly picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of apple and pulled it up, and then pulled out a long wire, which caused the three children to "wow", and then they picked up the chopsticks and tried it.
Several children praised while playing, while Cao Simei tapped on the table, "Don't play with you, eat quickly, don't let me fall off."
The three children giggled, and then put the apple into their mouths.
Daya narrowed her eyes, "Aunt Lotus, what you make is delicious."
Dahe followed: "It's more delicious to eat like this than to eat apples directly. I didn't expect apples to be cooked and eaten."
Xiao San'er usually talks the most, but at this time she doesn't speak anymore and just keeps eating.
Cao Simei saw that the three children in the family were eating so happily, and she was really reluctant to think that Li Hehua was going to leave.
Li Hehua took Cao Simei's hand and clapped, silently comforting.
The next day, Li Hehua brought pastries and specially made shredded apples to the town to sell. It didn't take long for him to see Master Gu coming, followed by a woman in her fifties.
Li Hehua smiled and said hello: "Master Gu, are you here?"
Gu Zhijin still smiled warmly and said, "Boss, today we still pack four pieces of each item and two candied haws. As for..." The words later paused.
Li Hehua understood, he bent down and took out a bowl of shredded apples from the basket and handed it to him, "This is the shredded apples I made."
Gu Zhijin had never heard of a shredded apple before, so he was very curious. He stared at the contents of the bowl for several times before taking back his gaze. After taking the bowl, he asked, "Boss, do you just use this bowl?"
Li Hehua nodded, "This can only be put in a bowl. You can take the bowl back first, and just return it to me next time you buy something." She believed that a master would not covet her for a bowl.
Gu Zhijin didn't refuse, "Okay, I'll return it to the boss tomorrow." Then he took out his wallet, "Boss, how do you sell this bowl of shredded apples?"
Li Hehua had thought about the price before, so he replied, "You can give me fifteen cents for this bowl of shredded apples." One bowl takes about one apple. Today's apples are very expensive. One apple costs about four cents, plus Oil, salt, sugar, eggs, and a bowl of shredded apples cost around six or seven cents. In fact, her handwork cost was not even ten cents, and charging fifteen cents was purely a friendship price.
Gu Zhijin didn't have any objection about the price, she paid Li Hehua directly, and then introduced the old woman beside her, "This is my grandma who helps take care of the children at home, she will come to buy cakes with you when I don't have time in the future. , you can just give it to her directly."
Li Hehua glanced at the woman and nodded. The master wants to teach children to study, but he really doesn't have time to go out to buy things in person every day, and a grown man doesn't have time to take care of the children all day, so it is normal to find someone to take care of the children.
After Gu Zhijin took the woman away, Li Hehua didn't have much leftover cakes, and they were all sold out after another half an hour. In order to see the little guy earlier, Li Hehua had asked Simei Cao to buy her ingredients, but she trotted away. I rushed to Shangshui Village to see the little guy.
It was still early when I arrived at Shangshui Village today, and lunch was not made at this time. Many people were still working in the fields. Li Hehua was a little happy, because when she came, she happened to see Zhang Lin go out with a basket. She should be going to the vegetable field. I went to pick vegetables.
Very good timing!
Zhang Tieshan and Zhang Qingshan will not be at home in the morning, so at this time there is no one in the house except the little guy. So, Li Hehua sneaked into Zhang's house quickly, and wanted to go straight to the kitchen to find the little guy, but who knew that as soon as he entered the door, he would see the little guy sitting on the threshold of the main room facing the door, looking in the direction of the door, so she As soon as he entered the door, he was seen by the little guy.
Li Hehua and the little guy's eyes lit up at the same time.
Li Hehua put the basket on the ground, rushed towards the little guy, and hugged him into his arms, "Baby! I'm here to see you!"
Although the little guy didn't speak, he stretched out his little hand and grabbed the corner of Li Hehua's clothes tightly. The little head was still rubbing against her arms, which made Li Hehua's heart melt, and he couldn't control it on top of his head. A few kisses.
"Baby, why are you sitting on the threshold? How cold the ground is~"
The little guy didn't speak, and rubbed against Li Hehua again.
Li Hehua patted his little back lightly, picked him up from the ground, and put him on the stool in the room, "Sit down, I'll go and bring in the basket, there's something delicious in it."
Seeing the little guy blinking his eyes, Li Hehua smiled, returned to the door, took the basket he brought in and put it on the table, lifted the cloth towel, took out the cakes inside and said to the little guy, "This is the cake I brought for you, and There are two candied haws, you should keep them and eat them slowly, but don’t eat pastries all the time, and remember to eat them, you know?”
After he finished speaking, Li Hehua took out the bowl of shredded apples and put it in front of the little guy, "Come on, this is the shredded apples made for you. I'll feed you." After speaking, he picked up the chopsticks he brought and picked up an apple to send. to the little guy's mouth.
When I made it before, I took into account the small mouth of the little guy, so I cut the apples into small pieces so that the little guy could take a bite.
The little guy grabbed the corner of Li Hehua's clothes with one hand, opened his mouth, and ate the apple beside his mouth, chewing and chewing, his eyes narrowed slightly. Although to outsiders, the little guy didn't change his expression, Li Hehua just felt that the little guy at the moment was extremely satisfied.
Li Hehua was delighted to see it, and couldn't help but slapped the little guy's bulging cheek and made a soft sound.
The little guy stopped chewing and stared at her with his black eyes, as if startled, like a little rabbit.
Li Hehua couldn't help laughing out loud, and kissed him again, and he laughed after the kiss.
The little guy's eyes blinked and he completely forgot to chew.
Li Hehua touched his little face, "Baby eat it quickly, chew it."
The little guy pushed his mouth like a small animal and started chewing again.
So cute~ Li Hehua really wanted to hug this cute little guy in his arms and rub it, he was almost done.
After eating the piece in his mouth, the little guy opened his mouth very rarely and silently signaled to Li Hehua that he still wanted to eat. Li Hehua hurriedly took another piece and fed it into his mouth. Seeing how delicious he was eating, she told him about her own affairs as usual, "Baby, I rented a small yard in the town, which is very spacious. I live there so that it will be convenient for me to do business. But I will still visit you from time to time to bring you good food, and if I have a chance, I will take you to live with me, and then take you to town Play."
The little guy didn't know if he understood, he stared at her while eating, as if he couldn't see enough. Li Hehua didn't ask him to understand, he just liked to talk to him more.
The little guy ate deliciously, and soon finished the bowl of shredded apples. Li Hehua put the bowl in the basket and looked at the door outside, thinking that he couldn't stay any longer, the Zhang family would come back at any time, although he was very reluctant Gotta go too.
Li Hehua put the little guy in his arms and kissed, "Baby, I'm leaving, don't be reluctant today, I'll come to see you soon. If you're unhappy, I'll be unhappy too~"
Knowing that Li Hehua was leaving again, the little guy pursed his lips tightly, his little head rubbed against her arms, and his little hands were clutching her clothes tightly, causing Li Hehua not to know what to do.
Just when Li Hehua wanted to put down the little guy and leave, there were footsteps behind him, and someone came in.
Li Hehua froze, turned around, and saw Zhang Tieshan standing behind her, looking at her.
Not so lucky today~
