With this incident, Zhang Weidong's chance to return to the city is definitely gone.
But how to get the spot to return to the city to her is a problem, after all, her reputation is really bad, and the villagers hate her to the core!
As for making wontons, it's simple: knead the dough, roll it out into a thin sheet, and then cut it into small square pieces.
Cheng Xiao Kui added soy sauce, salt, and chopped green onions to the minced meat, and the aroma of the minced meat immediately wafted up.
The two children huddled around the bowl of minced meat, like two greedy kittens, staring intently at the meat.
Lin Qiuru and Cheng Xiaokui wrapped wontons extremely quickly. They would spread the meat filling into the wrapper, squeeze it, and a wonton was ready in no time.
The meat filling for wontons is much smaller than that for dumpling filling, making them much easier to wrap.
Lin Qiuru and Cheng Xiaokui made a large basket of wontons.
Once the water in the pot boils, put the wontons in the pot, and they will be cooked as soon as the water boils again.
Cheng Xiao Kui and Lin Qiu Ru brought the cooked wontons into the house. The four of them, grandmother and grandchildren, sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), each enjoying a bowl of delicious wontons.
The two children ate the steamed buns silently, their heads bowed as they slurped the wontons from their spoons.
Lin Qiuru savored the taste of the wontons, cherishing each one.
While eating, she said to Cheng Xiaokui, "Xiaokui, I did as you said and separated the potatoes and sweet potato slices. I sprinkled icing sugar on the sweet potato slices."
You know what, these sweet potato chips are so sweet and delicious made this way! They'll definitely sell like hotcakes tomorrow.
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "I'll try the sweet potato chips too!"
She got off the kang (a heated brick bed) to get the sweet potato slices from the cloth bag. Each slice had a thin layer of white sugar frosting on it.
This bite is crunchy and sweet, the sweet taste instantly warms your heart.
You have to understand how scarce sugar is in this era.
Normally, they wouldn't dare eat a single piece of candy; all their candy coupons would be saved to buy candy blocks during the Lunar New Year and keep at home for visiting relatives and friends.
Children can only eat candy during the few days of Chinese New Year.
Cheng Xiao Kui ate one slice and couldn't help but pick up a second one. She said to Lin Qiu Ru, "Mom, our sweet potato chips are a great success."
These taste even better than potato chips. These two bags of sweet potato chips will definitely sell even better tomorrow!
Lin Qiuru said, "It's a pity I can't go with you to sell goods. It's too hard on you."
As Cheng Xiaokui ate, she climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and said, "I don't feel tired at all. I just feel that our lives have a future."
Life is getting better every day. Once we've saved enough money and got a spot to return to the city, we'll leave.
The thought of returning to the capital soon filled her with excitement!
Lin Qiuru dared not even think about returning to the city. Could it really be possible?
However, it seems that everything is going according to Cheng Xiao Kui's plan.
After the meal, all four members of the family—grandparents, grandchildren, and grandchildren—had full stomachs.
The next morning, Cheng Xiao Kui discovered that her pants waistband had loosened again.
Indeed, exercise is indispensable on the road to weight loss.
To lose weight, you need to pay attention not only to your diet but also to exercise.
In this day and age, it's hard to afford large meals of meat and fish; eating a little meat occasionally is simply to supplement the body's lack of nutrients.
In addition, she rides her bicycle for six or seven hours a day, so she can lose weight every day.
She touched her slim waist with her hand. You know what, she really did have a great figure after losing weight. Her waist was defined, and her hips were shapely too.
Especially her small face, neither too fat nor too thin, even she thinks it's pretty.
How come I never noticed before that she's quite pretty?
She didn't need to attend the village-wide meeting; no one cared what she thought or said anyway.
She felt her way in the dark, carrying five bags of potato chips and sweet potato chips, and pedaled her bicycle to the county town.
It was the same familiar place; when she arrived, there were already people waiting there.
Today she changed her selling method. Because there were fewer sweet potato chips, she sold three bags for 6 cents each, two bags of potato chips and one bag of sweet potato chips.
If you buy sweet potato chips separately, it's three cents a bag.
This marketing strategy worked well, because the presence of sweet potato chips indirectly increased her income.
Moreover, after tasting the sweet potato chips, people felt that the sweet ones tasted better.
Because everyone wants to save a penny, they generally choose the 6-cent combo set!
Cheng Xiaokui sold her goods very quickly today. By noon, she had already sold out all the potato chips and sweet potato chips.
She thoughtfully left a bag of potato chips and a bag of sweet potato chips for the saleswoman.
If it weren't for the kind saleswoman who saved those discounted sweet potatoes and potatoes for her, she would have had to spend a lot more money to get so many.
Because business is so good, she now has to go to the cooperative to buy sweet potatoes and potatoes every day.
When she rode her bicycle back to the village, it was already dark, and the road was still faintly visible in the gray haze.
Xiaolongbao and Cheng Xiaokui were already waiting at the intersection.
When they saw Cheng Xiao Kui return, the two of them didn't dare to say a word, afraid that the neighbors would hear them.
The two children silently followed Cheng Xiaokui home.
Cheng Xiaokui pushed the bicycle into the kitchen and saw Lin Qiuru making dumplings.
Xiaolongbao and He Ye came over.
The two people tugged at Cheng Xiaokui's clothes and said, "Xiaokui! We're having dumplings today. Grandma said you should eat more because she sees you've lost weight."
Cheng Xiao Kui reached out and touched the two children's fluffy hair.
She said, "You all need to eat more, and Grandma needs to eat more too. You're all so malnourished. Let's help Grandma make dumplings together."
She washed her hands and sat down next to Lin Qiuru to make dumplings together.
Lin Qiuru lowered her voice and said, "Today's meeting was infuriating. We discussed it for ages, but we couldn't come up with anything."
They've locked Zhang Weidong in solitary confinement. Hey, isn't this like an open secret? How come they still can't reach a decision on what to do?"
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "Because my reputation isn't good either, they've never known whose side to stand on."
But what happened yesterday was definitely Zhang Weidong's fault. Let's not rush it, let them discuss it. Anyway, the spot to return to the city definitely can't be given to Zhang Weidong.”
Lin Qiuru said, "Yes, the village chief said the same thing, saying that he can't be given the spot to return to the city."
But, Xiao Kui, as soon as the village chief said that, the eyes of the other educated youth lit up, and they stared longingly at the quota for returning to the city.
What are we going to do about this? I just have a feeling that the spot to return to the city won't fall into your lap...
She couldn't help but sigh repeatedly; Cheng Xiao Kui's reputation was terrible. Usually, the quotas for returning to the city were given to educated youth who performed exceptionally well.
Cheng Xiaokui said, "The quota for returning to the city hasn't been decided yet, right? This matter can't be resolved in a short time. We're not in a hurry. When the deadline is approaching, I'll naturally find a way to get a quota for returning to the city!"
She remembered reading in the book that the quota for returning to the city had not been decided yet, mainly because all the educated youth were eagerly eyeing that quota.
So the list of those returning to the city wasn't released until the very last minute!
