"Yes, Gospel, although lard is not expensive, save some if you can." Lin Fang said, and then leaned into the pot to take a look, and immediately felt distressed, "Gospel, what are you frying? Ah, there is too much lard!"
After hearing Lin Fang's words, Lin Fen went up to take a look, and felt distressed when he saw that the bottom of the pot was full of oily lard.
They are all children from poor families. Even if they have money, they want to save it.
Lin Fufu just laughed, looked at the two sisters and said, "I want to deep-fry the peas. The more oil you fry, the crispier and delicious it will be."
"Hey, fried peas? They're really fresh, I've never eaten them before." Lin Fang clicked his mouth and said.
Lin Fen stretched out his finger and poked Lin Fang's forehead, "You, how much knowledge do you have? Let's learn the gospel well."
She turned around and went out, but Lin Fufu heard her muttering to herself, "Only a knowledgeable mother like the third aunt can teach a girl like Gospel. We just follow Gospel and learn a little bit and we can eat for a lifetime..."
With a flash in Lin Fufu's eyes, Lin Fen also said that her mother Chu was knowledgeable, how did she know
"Fufu, Fufu quickly pour the beans into the pot, the oil is already hot." Lin Fen disturbed Lin Fufu's thoughts, and Lin Fufu immediately came back to his senses with a smile and poured the dried peas from a Shau Kei into the pot for frying.
After a while, the dried peas came out of the pot. Lin Fang couldn't wait to pick up one and threw it into her mouth. Regardless of the burning of her mouth, she sucked in her breath and said, "It's delicious and fragrant!"
The corners of Lin Fufu's lips curled up slightly, and he said with a smile, "Sister Fang, go dig a bowl of the salt I bought and crush it into powder for me, and then dig out a bowl of white sugar, crush it into powder for me too, and it's done." Just bring it over."
Although Lin Fang didn't know why she had to crush the salt and sugar, since Lin Fufu ordered her, she happily did it.
Looking at her happy back, Lin Fufu couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips even more.
She continued to fry the peas, and soon a big cloth bag was fried.
At this time, Lin Fang also brought over the crushed salt and sugar.
Lin Fufu divided the fried peas into two parts and put them in two smaller muslin bags, then put a bowl of crushed salt into a muslin bag, tied the bag with a string, and then Shake the muslin bag with the head to make the crushed salt powder stick to the fried peas more evenly.
After it was done, put a bowl of crushed white sugar into another West cloth bag, and then shake the topped fine cloth bag like a gourd painting.
Lin Fang looked at Lin Fufu in surprise, "Fufu, what are you doing like this?"
"Do you want something salty or something sweet?" Lin Fufu asked without answering.
Lin Fang pointed to the muslin bag where Lin Fufu put the sugar, and said shyly, "Then I still like sweets."
Lin Fufu smiled slightly, unsealed the muslin bag containing sugar, and handed it to Lin Fang, "Come and have a taste."
Lin Fang looked at the golden and crisp fried peas with a layer of fine white hoarfrost, she thought it was delicious.
She swallowed her saliva, and carefully picked up a pea and put it in her mouth. As soon as the pea entered her mouth, she squinted her eyes, "It's delicious, delicious, crispy and sweet!"
Lin Fufu also picked up one and put it in his mouth.
It is really fragrant, crisp and sweet.
These ancient pigs all ate the freshest hogweed and the natural rancid water at home, so the lard is very fragrant. The peas are also tastier, and the sugar is sweeter and softer...
"Let's try the salty one again." After tasting the sweet one, Lin Fufu and Lin Fang tasted the salty fried peas.
"It's delicious too!" Lin Fang said with crooked eyes after tasting the salty fried peas.
Lin Fufu nodded, and then blinked at Lin Fang, "Since it's so delicious, let's make some of them as soon as possible, and when they're ready, we'll take them to Washe to sell!"
"Ah? Do you want to sell it?" Lin Fang asked with some reluctance.
Lin Fufu just laughed and promised: "Don't worry, we will leave food for ourselves. You can eat as much as you want."
Lin Fang smiled even more happily.
The two sisters were busy, and didn't stop until they used up all the pig's heads in a jar.
At this time, Lin Fen had already bought dozens of catties of lard and came back.
Lin Fufu said: "Sister Fen is back just in time, come with us to Washe to sell fried peas."
"Are you all done?" Lin Fen put the lard suet on the pot, and asked happily while wiping his hands with a clean rag.
"Taste first." Lin Fufu picked up the bowl containing salty and sweet fried peas and handed it to Lin Fen.
Lin Fen smiled slightly and picked up the fried peas and put them in his mouth, "Well, it's delicious!"
"Okay, we all think it's delicious, so it must be delicious. Let's get ready and go do business." Lin Fufu clapped his hands and said to Sister Lin Fen.
The two sisters were also very excited.
Anyone who can earn money is excited.
"By the way, Gospel, how do you sell these fried peas?" Lin Fen asked.
Lin Fen was still careful, and Lin Fufu was so happy that he forgot to set the price for the fried peas.
"This is just a snack, and it can't be too expensive. If it's too expensive, there will be fewer people buying it." Lin Fufu pondered for a while, looked at Sister Lin Fen and asked, "What about a pound of fried peas? How about two pennies?"
Lin Fen and Lin Fang glanced at each other and shook their heads, Lin Fen said: "Two cents a catty is too little, I dare say we are the first batch of people who make such delicious snacks, this The price can't be less than five cents a catty."
Lin Fang also nodded and agreed: "Yes, Gospel, I heard that the small snacks at Washe are not cheap. Brother Dalang took him to the shadow puppet show when he was a child, and I bought it for him after hearing what he said. A plate of melon seeds costs two renminbi. Why don’t the melon seeds just be fried? A plate only costs two renminbi.”
Lin Fufu hadn't noticed this one yet, last time it was Li Yi's treat, and she didn't know the price of the tea and snacks.
Later, Huangfu Jin was injured again, so she didn't bother to inquire about those things, and today she made fried peas on a whim to sell, but she didn't expect to be stumped in setting the price.
But according to Lin Fang, her catty of fried peas is not expensive at ten cents per catty.
"Let's go and talk about it first. Find the owner of Washe and see how much he is willing to pay per catty. If it is suitable, we will sell it." After thinking about it, Lin Fufu didn't intend to get entangled in this matter, and we will talk about it when we arrive at Washe.
So the three of them put the divided muslin bags onto the wheelbarrow, and together they pushed the cart of fried peas to Washe.
Lin Fen and Lin Fang had never been to Washer, and they were a little excited. When they arrived at Washer, there was a lot of people, and the two sisters were dazzled.
Lin Fufu can only look at the wheelbarrow by himself at this time, and let the two sisters look at it first.
The two sisters looked at Lin Fufu for a while before realizing that they were here for business, not to see the fun, so they looked at Lin Fufu in embarrassment.
"It's okay, why don't we go to the theater and listen to the music after we sell out all these?" Lin Fufu laughed.
Lin Fang immediately said: "Okay, I want to go to the shadow puppet show. When I was young, when my father brought Brother Dalang here to watch the shadow puppet show, I don't know how envious I was. After so many years, I can't forget it..."
"Is this okay? There is still lard left uncooked at home." Although Lin Fen was also eager to watch a shadow puppet show, she was still worried that the homework was not done.
Lin Fufu said: "It's so cold, and the lard will be fine tomorrow. It's hard to come to Washe. Today, I will accompany you to watch a shadow play or listen to music. I will finally go home when you are satisfied." .”
After a pause, Lin Fufu asked Lin Fen, "Sister Fen, do you also want to watch shadow puppetry the most?"
Lin Fen nodded, "Yes, I also want to watch shadow puppetry. When I was young, my grandfather brought Lin Dalang to the Washe to watch shadow puppetry. I was also envious of it."
Lin Fufu didn't like it when he heard it. How deeply did Mr. Lin's eccentricity hurt the hearts of the two granddaughters
Up to now, she still remembers how she felt when she was a child. She thinks that Mr. Lin is really cruel, maybe not only Mr. Lin, but all patriarchal people in the world are very cruel people.
They stubbornly prefer boys, and feel that girls are losers and worthless. But in fact, even in ancient times, girls were sensible to work for the family and share the worries of the elders when they were young.
But when boys are mischievous and get into trouble, they still prefer boys, and they beat and scold girls. There are countless such things, so the damage to girls' hearts is very great.
Lin Fufu looked at Lin Fen and Lin Fang with softer eyes, planning to slowly heal the hurt in their hearts in the future.
At this time, a waiter who entertained the guests came over with a few empty plates.
Seeing Lin Fufu and the others push the wheelbarrow into the road, he said to them displeasedly: "Hey, you girls, push the wheelbarrow out, it's blocking the road."
"We're here to sell snacks!" Lin Fang pushed back.
The mistress looked them up and down, seeing that they didn't look like they were joking, she felt a little bit convinced.
Thinking of the countless times that the chief steward of their washhouse complained that the male guests had too few snacks, he thought that if he could discover new snacks, the chief steward would reward him.
So his face became much better, and he asked with a smile, "Then what kind of snacks do you sell?"
Lin Fufu winked at Lin Fen, and Lin Fufu took out two bulging fine cloth bags the size of palms, opened the fine cloth bags in front of Xiao Er, and said to Xiao Er, "We only sell these bags this time. Same, little brother, you have to taste it before you talk, you have to taste it first, right?"
Lin Fen had a gentle smile on his face, which made people feel like a spring breeze.
Seeing a young and good-looking girl talking to him in such a pleasant manner, the little girl blushed, feeling a little embarrassed that he had been rude to them just now.
"Yes, I'll try it first. If it's really delicious, I'll definitely recommend it to you as our senior manager!" The little girl said quickly, and then reached out to pick up a few fragrant and sweet fried peas Put it in your mouth.
When he chewed a mouthful, he only felt that it was crispy, sweet and crunchy, leaving a fragrance in his mouth.
After tasting it, he felt that it was not enough, so he reached out again and took the salty fried peas and put it in his mouth.
Still delicious!
The little girl immediately became excited, looked at Lin Fufu and the three excitedly, and said, "Follow me, three girls, and I will take you to meet our chief manager!"
Hearing this, Lin Fufu and the three looked at each other, and immediately pushed the wheelbarrow and ran along with the little girl.
The little boy yelled all the way: "Leave a way, don't bump into each other, we have something urgent..."
The guests all looked at them with strange faces, and Lin Fufu couldn't help feeling amused.
From the little girl's attitude, she could tell that her fried peas should be able to fetch a good price.
After following the little girl to a quiet spot, he said politely to Lin Fufu and the others: "Girls, wait a moment, I'll go and invite our chief manager to come."
This mistress was too excited and obviously knew nothing about business.
When he finally hired the chief steward, Lin Fufu saw that the chief steward was in his forties, with dark skin, a strong figure, and a calm expression on his face, so he knew that this was a powerful role.
He should have listened to Xiao Er's introduction of her fried peas, and knew that her fried peas were delicious, but he still looked as usual, walked calmly, and looked calm and calm.
"Girls, this is the chief steward of our Washe." The junior introduced Lin Fufu and the others, and then said to the chief steward: "Senior steward, these three girls want to sell snacks Give us Washer."
The chief steward nodded, waved his hands to let Xiao Er go to work, then looked at Lin Fufu and the three of them with a smile and said, "My surname is Xu, and I'm the chief steward of Washe in this town. I don't know the surnames of the girls?"
"Master Xu is good. We are three sisters, surnamed Lin." Lin Fufu said with a smile.
Manager Xu nodded, glanced at the white and clean muslin bags on the wheelbarrow, then looked at Lin Fufu and asked, "Girls Lin, which village are you from?"
Lin Fufu saw that Manager Xu said that he was not in a hurry to ask trivial matters at all, but also asked about such trivial matters, so he knew that Manager Xu might want to find out their details. If they were children from ordinary poor families, he would give The price is lower.
Rolling his eyes slightly, Lin Fufu smiled and said, "We are from the town."
"Oh, so it's from the town?" Manager Xu's eyes flickered, thinking that if he was from the town, he probably knew more or less about the situation of Washer, and the price
…
"What's the name of this snack made by those girls?" Manager Xu asked with a smile.
Just as Lin Fufu wanted to talk about fried peas, Lin Fen hurriedly said, "This little snack we sell is called Crispy Peas."
As soon as Lin Fufu heard the name, it was really good. Even if the name sounds good, people can't see how it was made.
Otherwise, a fried pea can be heard as fried.
Lin Fufu once again saw Lin Fen's meticulous thinking, and couldn't help but feel very relieved.
"Yes, it's crispy peas. Mr. Xu can try it first." Lin Fufu smiled.
Lin Fen handed over the salty and sweet fried peas to the manager Xu.
As expected, the person in charge of Xu began to try the food seriously.
"Well, it's really good!" Even though he was very picky, Manager Xu had no choice but to give this high evaluation. He squinted his eyes slightly, looked at Lin Fufu and the others, and asked with a smile: "The girls made it themselves ?”
"Yeah, I made it at home. I heard from my uncle that there are not many snacks in Washer, so I thought of selling it at Washer to get some money for rouge and gouache." Lin Fufu said.
Manager Xu glanced over at Lin Fufu and the others, and saw that the two older girls had powder on their faces, and the powder looked good.
There is a sudden rush in my heart, rouge and gouache can be more or less expensive, these girls are obviously here to sell high prices.
So he nodded without changing his face, looked at Lin Fufu and asked, "How much do those girls plan to sell for a catty?"
"Then how much does Manager Xu think we can sell such a delicious snack?" Lin Fufu asked.
Manager Xu took another look at her, and thought to himself: Sure enough, she is not a girl who can fool around.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Most of us in Vasheli are not rich customers, and we don't have much spare money to buy expensive snacks. Most of them come with their children, and they just buy some teeth-beating sacrifices for the children. .So, the small snacks in our Washe are not expensive."
The implication of these words was to tell Lin Fufu and the others that even if he wanted to buy their crispy peas, he would not pay a high price.
"Girls, let's make a price. If the price is right, I'll buy them all. If the price is not right, I'll find someone else." Manager Xu said with a smile.
Lin Fufu also smiled slightly, and said: "This is very true, buying and selling is voluntary."
Manager Xu smiled and nodded, waiting for Lin Fufu to make an offer.
Lin Fufu was about to call for twenty cents to bargain him down, so Lin Fen asked with a smile: "Master Xu, the small snacks in this Washe are only two or three liang per plate, right?"
Seeing that she suddenly asked this question, Chief Manager Xu's expression froze.
This question is too tricky.
Lin Fang also laughed and said, "The cheapest melon seeds cost two cents a plate."
Lin Fufu listened to the pair of sisters singing the oboe, so he stood watching the play with his lips pursed.
But in my heart, I was happy that I had a good vision. Both Lin Fen and Lin Fang were born with business talents.
After being played by the two sisters, Manager Xu couldn't hold back the smile on his face, and asked, "How do those girls plan to sell these crispy peas?"
Lin Fen and Lin Fang looked at each other with a smile, and then Lin Fen smiled at Manager Xu and said, "Manager Xu, it took a lot of effort to make this crispy pea, and it also took a lot of spices and so on. , this capital is also considered expensive.”
After hearing Lin Fen's so much foreshadowing, Xu Da was a little anxious, so he interrupted her, "Then how much does Miss Lin want to sell for a catty?"
"Thirty cents a catty." Lin Fen pointed out three fingers.
When Lin Fufu heard her bid for thirty cents, the corners of his lips curled up. Lin Fen remained silent, and became much more ruthless than her.
This is a born businessman!
"No, no, thirty Wen a catty is too expensive!" Manager Xu shook his head, looked at Lin Fen and said, "Miss Lin also knows that peas are very cheap, and you can buy four or five catties for one penny. This opening is only thirty cents a catty, isn't that what a lion opened its mouth?"
