In the morning, Li Hehua set up the stall, it was still early, and the talents on the street had just come to the town to go to the market.
Taking advantage of nothing, Li Hehua sat at the table and started planning to do early trading. She had been thinking about this a few days ago. Now, in order to facilitate Cao Simei and Daya to sell cakes every day, the food stall was also set up early. It’s still far from the time to have guests at noon, and there’s nothing to do for half the morning, so she thought, sitting in vain, it’s better to do some early business and sell some steamed buns at the same time.
Steamed buns and soy milk or something, you can make extra money without delaying the sale of snacks at noon.
Just when Li Hehua was thinking about the specific implementation steps in his mind, Cao Simei sat down beside her.
Li Hehua thought that fourth sister Cao was here to take a break, and smiled and poured her a glass of water, "Eldest sister, drink some water before you are busy."
Cao Simei took a sip from the cup and put it down. Seeing that there was no one around, she calmed down, reached out and took Li Hehua's hand and patted it. She smiled and said, "Big sister, big sister wants to tell you something today."
Seeing Cao Simei's smile, Li Hehua asked with a smile, "Is the eldest sister trying to tell me something good?"
The smile on Cao Simei's face was even greater, "No, it's a good thing, I'll tell you..." Cao Simei leaned closer to Li Hehua and said softly, "Big sister, big sister, I want to introduce someone to you, The other party is from our village, he is very honest and capable, his original wife... "
Cao Simei was interrupted by Li Hehua before she could finish her words, "Wait, wait, eldest sister, you've made me confused, why are you trying to introduce someone to me, I don't plan to find another one..."
Li Hehua was really confused. She told Sister Xie last night that no one would introduce her to her, so why did she show up today? And she didn't plan to find someone, so she didn't need to listen.
Cao Simei looked disapproving, "Big sister, why don't you plan to find another one? You can be alone in this situation of a woman's family? Don't be silly, you are still young, and you will be alone in the future. The days are still long, how can one go on alone? So, listen to the eldest sister, the eldest sister will not harm you." Then, holding Li Hehua's hand, he continued what he just said, "Listen to the eldest sister and tell me about this person's situation. Say, you're sure to be satisfied."
Before Li Hehua could interrupt, Cao Simei continued, "I will introduce this person. His original wife died of illness three years ago. At that time, he spent a lot of money to see a doctor, but he talked about friendship and always gave the original wife. Yao, I have never disliked her, she is really of good character. However, the person was still not cured, and finally went, and he has not remarried for three years. "
Seeing Cao Simei's active and caring appearance, Li Hehua knew that he couldn't be interrupted at this moment, so he could only listen with a blank face. Wait until she's done talking before saying no.
"Eldest sister tells you, this person is absolutely good, his parents have passed away, if you and him can make it, there is no in-laws pressing you, he is capable and honest, and he is a lover of his daughter-in-law. In a situation like yours, you have to Find a daughter-in-law who loves you, and you will be happy when you get married. And don't worry about being a stepmother, because he has only one daughter, and he can get married in a few years. Then you will give him another son. , everything is yours, you can't stand the grievance."
Li Hehua: "..."
Seeing that Li Hehua didn't speak, Cao Simei advised: "Sister, the eldest sister really feels sorry for you being alone, and I want you to find someone who knows the cold and the heat to accompany you, and you don't have to do it yourself. I know this woman. Remarriage is not easy to find, eldest sister does not dare to find that unreliable for you, eldest sister has been looking for it for a long time, this is really good, you can see it, and keep it well."
Li Hehua knew that Cao Simei was for her own good, and she was very grateful for it, but she really didn't want to find someone to marry, unless she found someone she liked, and she would marry him willingly. If she doesn't meet someone she likes, she doesn't want to marry someone for the sake of getting married. Anyway, she lives well by herself, and she has Shulin to accompany her.
"Eldest sister, I know you are for my own good, but you see, I'm doing business now, and my life is no worse than anyone else's. I think my life is pretty good now, and I really don't want to remarry, so sister, don't persuade me. Are you okay?" Li Hehua said and shook Cao Simei's sleeve to act coquettishly.
Cao Simei frowned and sighed helplessly, "Why are you so stubborn~ Forget it, this matter can't be forced, think about it for yourself, maybe you'll want to see each other again in two days. Tell the eldest sister, the eldest sister arranges for you to meet."
Li Hehua smiled perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, if I change my mind, I'll find you."
Cao Simei nodded at her, "You."
Da He was wiping the table next to him, and overheard a little, knowing that his mother was going to introduce a man to Aunt Hehua, and he was from their village, so he couldn't help but curiously came over and asked, "Mother, who are you going to introduce to Aunt Hehua? Why haven't I heard you say it?"
Cao Simei made a stern face and waved her hand, "Go, go, what do the children know, go do your work!"
Dahe felt annoyed, touched his nose and went to work.
Li Hehua also touched his nose, feeling that he had passed the thrilling level, and hoped that he would not encounter this again in the future.
However, Li Hehua had a big heart, and he forgot about it for a while, and continued to think about the matter of selling breakfast just now.
She and Sister Xie prepare steamed buns and steamed buns every night, so it's actually very easy to sell breakfast. Just make more steamed buns and steamed buns than usual, and add some tea eggs, soy milk cakes, etc., and even if they can't sell in the morning, they can still sell them at noon. Then sell it. Anyway, every day there are many men working on the wharf who are reluctant to eat snacks and only buy some steamed buns to eat.
In addition, apart from the working people, many people come down from the dock to eat every day. These people often have to buy some dry food to take away after eating. Some people regretfully told Li Hehua that if they could pack fried rice, fried noodles, noodles, etc. Just go, so you can eat when you are on the boat.
However, these snacks are inconvenient to bring, and they are easily damaged, which is indeed not as convenient as dry food.
Li Hehua's thoughts moved, and he inquired about it in detail. It turned out that some ships would go all the way, and sometimes they would not dock for ten days and a half months. Everyone could only eat dry food, and then eat something delicious when they landed. But dry food is not very tasty. It is good to eat for a day or two. It is torture to eat for a long time, but there is no way.
Li Hehua saw business opportunities from it.
There are only a few kinds of dry food in this era. In order to be easy to carry and store, dry food is made very dry, and it is really difficult to eat.
If there is some new dry food, and it is delicious and very hungry, then she will definitely not worry about selling it. If she sells it, then the customers who come to her stall to eat can buy some when they go. Dry food, those who are hard workers can also buy and eat, it is much cheaper than fried rice, fried noodles, dumplings, etc.
And these dry food can be prepared in advance, and will not delay her anything.
The more Li Hehua thought about it, the more feasible it became. The so-called dry food is actually dry food without soup, which can be taken directly or even eaten in the hand, which is convenient, simple and easy to carry. There are a lot of things like this, and it's not too much of a hassle to do.
So, Li Hehua was busy making snacks while thinking about what to do in his head, which was delicious and hungry.
By the time the stall was closed in the afternoon, Li Hehua had already made up his mind.
She is going to make a roujiamo. She sandwiches vegetables and meat between two large steamed buns. It can be taken away in an oil-paper bag. When you eat, you can just take it out and eat it. It is very convenient and delicious. , which is much better than those dry naan, and it is also nutritious.
Secondly, she also plans to make a sauce-flavored cake, which can be eaten by hand, and it is also very delicious. It is no problem to use it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The taste is absolutely top-notch.
These two things are very simple to make. Basically, only flour can be used to solve the problem. Simple raw materials means low cost, which means low price. There are definitely many people willing to buy such delicious and cheap things. Although it is not as long as those dry naan that are seriously lacking in water, it tastes good and is just right to eat two days before the journey.
That night, Li Hehua started making roujiamo and sauce-flavored pancakes. He made a big basket of each, but it didn't take much time.
After making it, the first thing I tasted was Sister Xie and Shulin. After eating it, Sister Xie kept giving her thumbs up, "It's delicious, girl, you're so delicious, I've never seen it before. Have you eaten, what is this?"
Li Hehua introduced: "This one is called Roujiamo, and the other is called Jiangxiang Cake. I am going to make it and sell it. Many people don't want to buy dry food to eat on the road. These two should be quite suitable for sale."
Sister-in-law Xie nodded vigorously when she heard the words, "Yes, yes, this is a good idea, it is indeed suitable for dry food, and where can I find such delicious dry food, if I buy it, I will buy it and eat it on the road."
Having received strong praise and support from Sister-in-law Xie, Li Hehua turned to Shulin and saw that the little guy was eating the roujia buns in one bite. ?"
The little guy blinked his eyes, suddenly opened his mouth, ah woo took a big bite and his eyes narrowed.
This is what the little guy means when he says it's so delicious.
Li Hehua was pleasantly surprised. He didn't know when Shulin learned this way of expression. It's a little different from the previous introverted expression.
It must have become more and more lively with the little guy Gu Jinzhao, it's really good.
Li Hehua thinks that little guy Gu Jinzhao is really good. Shulin will stay with him for a long time in the future, and maybe he will be willing to speak. After all, that little guy has a lot of words.
Li Hehua turned around and brought the newly bought food box with rice for the little guy, picked four meat buns and a few large pieces of sauce-flavored cakes and put them in, and said to Shulin, who was watching, "Shulin, mother here. You decorate the roujiamo and sauce-flavored pancakes, and you will bring them to eat with Jin Zhao tomorrow, remember to give your master a taste, and you have good things to share with the master and good friends in the future, do you know?"
Since Master Gu and Gu Jinzhao had both, Li Hehua felt that he could not be without his father Shulin, so he brought a large oiled paper bag and put some roujiamo and sauce-flavored cakes in it, "This is for your father. , your money for going to school is now from your father, you must also remember to be filial to him, otherwise your father will be sad." I can't have a master and friends, but my father doesn't, so Zhang Tieshan also wants to give some.
After the installation, the rest will be sold tomorrow.
Before the second day of the booth, Li Hehua put the steamed buns and steamed buns made last night in a steamer and steamed them in a large pot at home. Then he took the steamer to the booth and put it on a small pot to heat it up. That's it. Breakfast is officially sold. At the same time, there are also Rou Jia Mo and Sauce Fragrant Cake.
Li Hehua first took a Roujiamo for Da He, and then took another one for Cao Simei and Daya each, which was well received by all three.
After eating Roujiamo, Dahe started busy and shouted to the crowded streets, "Selling breakfast, big and fragrant steamed buns, delicious Roujiamo and sauce-flavored cakes. Yo~"
Li Hehua felt that Dahe, this young man, was quite good at doing business, and he was not afraid of being ugly when he opened it up.
Due to Dahe's vigorous shouting, people on the street knew that this stall was still selling breakfast, and many people came to buy food, many of them
The old customers all came up to greet Li Hehua, "Boss, will you still sell breakfast in the future?"
Li Hehua nodded with a smile, "Yes, in the future, the stall will sell breakfast in the morning, and you can come and buy what you want, not only steamed buns, but also the roujiamo and sauce-flavored cakes that I made exclusively. You can also buy them as dry food. In the future, everyone If you want to prepare dry food, you can try my Roujiamo and Jiangxiang pancakes.”
Many people were attracted by what Li Hehua said about the roujiamo and sauce-flavored cakes. They seemed to be delicious, and the price was not expensive, so they asked Li Hehua to try one.
Li Hehua packed the guests one by one and introduced them to the new guests by the way. He was so busy for a while that he couldn't notice a man watching her not far away.
This person is the blind date Cao Simei said she would introduce to Li Hehua, named Gu Dafeng.
Cao Simei told Gu Dafeng about Li Hehua before. Gu Dafeng lost his wife for three years and thought it was time to marry another one. He heard Cao Simei said that the other party was very capable and virtuous, and even opened a food stall by himself. As she was working, she wanted to see her, but there was no news for the past few days. He couldn't help but feel anxious. He came over by himself this morning, wanting to see what kind of woman she was.
Not far away, Gu Dafeng saw Li Hehua very clearly: she was wearing coarse clothes, she looked clean and neat, her skin was very white, and her facial features were pretty good, but she was a little fat, but he didn't mind being fat. Ah, fat looks blessed. And she looks really capable and neat. It is indeed a blessing for such a woman to marry and go home. Sister Cao did not lie to him.
Gu Dafeng was very satisfied, and wanted to see each other immediately, but for some reason, there was no movement from Sister Cao. Could it be that the other party didn't want to
Thinking about it, Gu Dafeng stepped forward involuntarily.
Li Hehua smiled and asked the person in front of him, "What do you need?"
Gu Dafeng paused, looked at the things on the stall, and stretched out his finger to the Roujiamo and Jiangxiang Biscuits, "Give me one of the same."
"Okay." Li Hehua neatly wrapped a piece each and handed it to him, "Okay, take your things, a total of three cents."
Gu Dafeng was flickered by Li Hehua's smile, and hurriedly lowered his head to take out the money, and handed the two cents to Li Hehua. Seeing that many people were eating at the table behind, he also sat silently at the table.
Cao Simei turned around inadvertently and saw Gu Dafeng sitting on the table eating, she was startled, and hurried over, "Dafeng, why are you here!" Sister Lotus didn't agree to look at each other, but what should I do if this person came!
Gu Dafeng glanced at Li Hehua quickly, but didn't tell the truth, "Eldest sister, I just came to town for business and I was hungry, so I came to eat something. The food here is really good."
Cao Simei didn't believe Gu Dafeng's words in her heart. She definitely wanted to come to see the lotus girl. It was a good thing, but who would know that the lotus girl would disagree with each other, which would be difficult to handle.
Cao Simei couldn't get down on a tiger, so she could only approach Gu Dafeng and said, "Dafeng, I told you about that before, but something went wrong. My sister hasn't figured it out yet, and I don't want to see each other. I'm still thinking about waiting for her to think about it. , so you guys... Dafeng, I'm sorry that the eldest sister didn't handle this matter well."
Gu Dafeng stopped eating, and once again looked at Li Hehua who was busy, a layer of bitterness suddenly spread in his heart. Why didn't she want to see him? Do you miss him
Gu Dafeng suddenly couldn't sit still, stood up and said to Cao Simei, "Eldest sister, thank you for your kindness, I'm not sorry, I'll go back first, you can do it first." Then he left the booth.
Cao Simei looked at his distant back, and felt strange in her heart. She didn't do it properly. She shouldn't have told Dafeng about it first. She thought it was a sure thing.
"Mother, don't you want to introduce Uncle Dafeng to Aunt Hehua? Is Uncle Dafeng here to see him?" Dahe's voice suddenly sounded in Cao Simei's ear, which startled her.
Cao Simei knocked Dahe a note, "You dead child, do your job, don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"
Da He pouted depressedly and rubbed his head, afraid that his mother would hit him again, so he hurried to the other side to wipe the table, and when his mother went back to sell cakes, he dared to whisper: "It must be, or Uncle Dafeng will come. What are you doing? But Uncle Dafeng is actually a good match for Aunt Hehua. Uncle Dafeng is a good man, and he will definitely be good to Aunt Hehua. If it becomes a marriage, it will be a good marriage."
Zhang Tieshan, who was sitting at the table eating, made a move, looked at Li Hehua who was busy, and remembered the man who just sat and talked with Cao Simei.
Was it the man who looked at her
Inexplicably uncomfortable, Zhang Tieshan put the three-cent money on the table, picked up the prey on the ground and walked away quietly.
When Li Hehua was about to bring back the prepared roujiamo and sauce-flavored cakes to Zhang Tieshan, he couldn't find anyone else, so he couldn't help but be surprised.
