Gu Qingmeng: "...don't you have it too?"
Didn't I just go to the Pei family to give them a holiday gift? There were ten mooncakes in it. Why was I arguing with her now?
"But they have more than ten pieces, all made by you with great effort."
Pei Xinghe thought it was a waste to give it to them. How could they taste it if they wolfed it down?
Pei Weidong: Who wolfed down the food? He was clearly eating carefully, chewing his food slowly.
"There's more at home. I'll get it for you after you finish eating." Gu Qingmeng said in a low voice.
"I want twenty yuan." Pei Xinghe estimated that Su Xue should have taken twenty mooncakes. He was her partner and future husband, so he was naturally special, so he had to get more than them.
Gu Qingmeng was speechless and could only nod in agreement, thinking that Pei Xinghe just liked eating mooncakes. After all, she knew that he liked White Rabbit mooncakes.
"Mengmeng, come here quickly. I want to tell you something."
Su Xue quickly stood up and pulled Gu Qingmeng aside, whispering to Cricket about her plan to make money.
Selling mooncakes.
There is still a month until the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they can make a lot of money.
It’s just that making mooncakes is very tiring, and they don’t have enough people to do it.
Finally, after several people discussed and decided, Gu Qingmeng would teach Pei Xiaohua, Pei Xiuzhen and Aunt Shuqin how to make mooncakes, and a few more baking ovens for mooncakes would be built, with the construction to be completed overnight today.
"What kind of filling is it? The egg yolk is salted egg yolk, not too much."
Gu Qingmeng’s opinion was not to make egg yolk filling, as rice beans were troublesome to prepare, and boiling, peeling and frying were both time-consuming tasks.
"Instead of making egg yolk filling, we'll just make five-nut filling, red bean filling, and mung bean filling. I'll buy the fillings you need, and I'll figure out how to get the white flour and sugar."
Pei Xinghe made the final decision on the type of filling, and Pei Weidong had no objection. He followed his cousin in the black market, so naturally he listened to his cousin in everything.
"You also need eggs, honey, lard, and cooking oil."
Since this is a partnership, there's no reason to fill in the gaps yourself. You should clearly list everything you need! Once you have a clear cost breakdown, it'll be easier to negotiate the profits later.
“Sister Gu, you really taught me how to make mooncakes!”
Pei Xiaohua couldn't believe it! Mooncakes! Mooncakes that could only be made in a food factory, and Sister Gu actually wanted to teach her how to make them. This was a skill that could earn her a living.
"Of course, if you like to learn, next time I will teach you how to make red date cakes, ox tongue biscuits, date paste pastries, and butterfly pastries. They are not difficult. As long as you can learn one, you can learn them all."
Gu Qingmeng likes diligent people. Pei Xiaohua has been using their kitchen to cook these days. She cleans up every time after use and sometimes brings out their meals. There is always dried vegetables drying in the yard.
It was just a lesson on how to make some pastries, she didn't care.
"Thank you, Sister Gu! You're so kind! I'll make it for you guys often once I learn how to do it."
Pei Xiaohua likes to study food the most, but the limited ingredients now restrict her ability. Now, when she heard that she could learn to make so many pastries, she happily pulled Su Xue and Pei Weidong and stamped her feet.
"Qingqing, Dongzi brought back a bag of beef jerky yesterday."
Seeing no one was paying attention to them, Pei Xinghe immediately took a few steps towards Gu Qingmeng. Thinking of Pei Weidong's smug look yesterday, he felt a pang of hatred. He also wondered where that kid had gotten that rare thing. Seeing Su Xue's expression today, he knew that the beef jerky was given by Su Xue.
He asked yesterday, but the boy still hasn't said anything?
snort!
Who doesn’t have a partner?
Gu Qingmeng glanced at the man with squinted eyes. This man must have conjunctivitis!
"Hey, Qingqing, don't be angry. I don't want to eat beef jerky. I just want you to remember me more. From now on, all the delicious food in our house will be left for you."
Pei Xinghe felt a little uncomfortable. He swore that he was not greedy, he just... just wanted Gu Qingmeng to care about him.
"Don't call me Qingqing. Please call me Gu Zhiqing or Gu Comrade when there are people around. You can call me Mengmeng when there are no one around."
Gu Qingmeng got goosebumps when she heard the man call her Qingqing!
How should I put it? Men have some problems with pronunciation, and can't distinguish between kiss and clear.
The school in Peijiagou was about to be completed, and Gu Qingmeng and Su Xue used the excuse of preparing books and lesson plans to not go to work from the next day. No one in the village said anything because they did not work and did not get work points, so no one cared.
Apart from some individuals who say some sour words, Peijiagou is still very harmonious.
Pei Xiaohua and Aunt Shuqin quickly learned how to make mooncakes. Gu Qingmeng didn't have to help with the three baking ovens, as mooncakes were being made one batch after another.
This made Gu Qingmeng and Su Xue become handymen, wrapping mooncakes with brown paper, four pieces in a pack, about one pound, and they could make hundreds of pounds a day.
From what Pei Xinghe said, even if their production increased several times, it would still not be enough to cover their sales.
This sales volume made Gu Qingmeng fall into deep thought. He was afraid that all the black markets in Gaoling County were selling their mooncakes, and they might even be sold in Xiai City.
This man should not be just someone who is involved in the black market.
"Sister Xiuzhen, how many days of vacation are left? We will be too busy if you leave."
After spending a few days together, Su Xue liked Pei Xiuzhen more and was reluctant to let her leave.
"Hey! I was supposed to go back today and start work tomorrow, but the fourth brother was afraid you guys would be too busy, so he asked for leave for me. He's asked for a month's leave, and he'll bring the kids back today."
Pei Xiuzhen thought of the two naughty boys at home. She was so annoyed when she was at home, not to mention that she missed them a little after being away for a few days.
"Sister Xiuzhen, how old is the child? Is it a boy or a girl? I like girls." Su Xue asked with a smile.
"Twin boys. I like girls too. Girls are so sweet! But I'm not destined for that. I don't know if giving birth to them hurt me. They're already six years old, and there's no movement in my belly."
Pei Xiuzhen sighed when talking about the child. Her husband also wanted a daughter. They tried very hard to have a daughter, but her belly just didn't cooperate.
"Giving birth is really bad for your health! Sister Xiuzhen, take good care of yourself and you'll definitely get what you want!"
Gu Qingmeng admired Pei Xiuzhen a little. Having a child in this era was undoubtedly like going through the gates of hell, but she was lucky enough to give birth to two children at once.
Gu Qingmeng didn't even dare to think about how dangerous pregnancy would be.
"Thanks for your good wishes. If I give birth to a daughter, I will definitely give you a big red envelope!"
Pei Xiuzhen smiled and promised that she would do her best to have a daughter!
"Sister Xiuzhen, let me tell you that having children is not just a matter for us women. Men also have a lot to do with it. Sperm... mmm."
Before Su Xue could finish her words, Gu Qingmeng covered her mouth. She was going to die!
This damn girl's mouth is flying in front, but her brain is chasing behind. Is it okay to say such things?
"Are you a woman? You are at most a girl. What do you know? Don't talk nonsense."
"Haha! Sister Xiuzhen, if you want to have a child, remember to ask your brother-in-law to quit smoking and drinking, otherwise the child will be in poor health. I heard this in the hospital."
Su Xue reacted and started to change the subject. Fortunately, Meng Meng covered her mouth, otherwise she would really have to explain to everyone about sperm and eggs, and how XX and XY are formed?
Pei Xiuzhen nodded in agreement. She had seen a doctor in the city and the doctor had said the same thing, but she always felt that this was not what Su Xue wanted to talk about.
