Moreover, there is a secret to making this acorn jelly, and not everyone can imitate it.
Even though they realized later that acorns could be eaten, not everyone knew how to cook them.
"Then, can you just add whatever seasoning you want?"
"You'll have to wait for me to taste it. I haven't tried it myself. You can try which one tastes best and then sell it."
"You can make this acorn jelly not only salty, you can also make it sweet. Make some sugar water, then cut it into small pieces and soak it in the water and eat it as sugar water. Or you can make some red sugar syrup and pour it on top. It tastes good this way, too." Tian Tian told Bai Xiaohua all the methods she knew.
Bai Xiaohua listened very carefully. If she was illiterate, she could have taken a pen and paper and done it.
"But brown sugar is too expensive. You can't buy it without a ticket."
"That's why I tell you that you can use it. It's a substitute for saccharin, but it can't be too sweet, otherwise it will taste bitter." Tian Tian said.
In fact, there has been news recently that the bills will be cancelled, but it will take a long time for this news to be implemented, so Tian Tian did not disclose this news.
“But if you can get brown sugar, it’s best to use brown sugar. Boil the brown sugar until it’s thick and pour it on the food. The price can actually be a little higher. After all, everyone knows that brown sugar is not cheap.” Tian Tian said.
Bai Xiaohua nodded. Although she took note of these words seriously, she had no intention of buying brown sugar. Their family's financial situation was such that they could not afford brown sugar at all. In fact, Bai Xiaohua had never tasted brown sugar since she got married.
"Is it that simple?" Bai Xiaohua asked.
After listening to Tian Tian, she felt that doing business was not very difficult.
"Doing business is definitely not that simple, but I have never done business before, so I can't tell you anything. You have to figure out all these things with you. But one thing is, you have set the price before, and you cannot raise the price casually. Even if someone selling the same things as you appears in the county and sets the price cheaper than you, you cannot lower the price casually." Tian Tian said.
Bai Xiaohua nodded and took note of this matter.
"As for the rest, you can ask Wu Juan. Although she is not in the food business, she is in the egg business so she must know some things that should be paid attention to in business. Ask her what to do?"
Hearing Wu Juan's name, Bai Xiaohua's expression dimmed. "Wu Juan is definitely unwilling to pay attention to us. Most of the money she earned was borrowed by my mother. She must be feeling very uncomfortable."
"No!" Tian Tian consoled. "If Wu Juan knew you were making money, she would definitely be very happy. She hopes you can make money as soon as possible more than anyone else. Only when you are well can she be well."
If their family's conditions remain like this, it is difficult to guarantee that Lin Meishuang will not borrow money from Wu Juan again. Only when their family has money will everyone stop borrowing money from Wu Juan.
So Wu Juan hopes more than anyone else that her family can become prosperous as soon as possible.
Wu Juan never thought of getting involved with her parents. She didn't want to take advantage of her parents, but she didn't want them to come to her again and again to borrow money. Wu Juan couldn't bear it, and she couldn't pay the money, so she felt very uncomfortable.
Bai Xiaohua nodded.
Lin Meiyu went out when Tian Tian and the others started talking, thinking of cooking something for Bai Xiaohua. After all, she came from far away, so they could afford to keep her for a meal.
Now that the meal was ready, Lin Meiyu called them outside. "Come out for dinner."
Bai Xiaohua hurriedly sat up from the kang when she heard this, "Since we're done eating, I'll go back first. My family is waiting for me."
Fortunately, she had already asked all the questions she needed to ask at this time. Everyone else had already eaten, and it was not convenient for her to stay here. She wanted to go back quickly, after all, there were two children waiting for her at home.
"Why don't you just have a meal here when you get home? My mom prepared a special meal for you." Tian Tian held Bai Xiaohua and said, "Besides, you came to your aunt's house and you go back hungry. How can that be justified?"
"I really don't want to eat here. My two children at home are waiting for me." Bai Xiaohua was embarrassed to eat at someone else's place. She always felt that she was taking up other people's food.
"What child? Don't we have your eldest sister-in-law and your third brother's wife? Just let them help you take a look at the child. You must eat here with me today, otherwise your second aunt will be angry." Lin Meiyu heard Bai Xiaohua's words when she entered the room and said immediately.
"Besides, I didn't prepare anything too expensive. Just some home-cooked meals. I'm worried you'd dislike them."
"I won't despise you, I won't despise you." Bai Xiaohua waved her hands and said. Their family is almost having to eat bran, so how could they despise others for eating real food?
"Since you don't mind, just go out and have a meal, fill your stomach, and then go back. You must be tired after walking all the way from home. How can you walk back without eating? It will take more than four hours to walk here. What if you get hungry?"
Lin Meiyu directly pulled Bai Xiaohua to the table. Bai Xiaohua was a little at a loss as to what to do and greeted Old Lady Tian who was sitting on the kang.
Old Mrs. Tian nodded. She also knew some things from Lin Meiyu and felt pity for Bai Xiaohua. "Just sit down and eat these meals. These meals were just made by your second aunt. Don't be polite with us and fill your stomach."
Bai Xiaohua looked down at the food on the table, her eyes a little red.
The food on the table was just as Lin Meiyu said, simple home-cooked meals.
Scrambled eggs with cucumber, stewed beans, eggplant and potatoes, and a large bowl of golden corn porridge.
This is a very normal meal in their rural area, but Bai Xiaohua hasn't eaten this kind of meal for a long time.
The eggs at home were always sold for money, not eaten by them. Even her two children had not eaten eggs for a long time.
Stewed eggplant with beans and stewed potatoes are what they have in their own garden, but looking at the greasy look on the dishes made by Lin Meiyu, you know that she must have put a lot of oil in them.
But every time, their family still does the same thing as before, just pouring a little oil into the pan and then using it to stir-fry, and the stir-fried beans are not tasty at all.
