"How is it? I didn't lie to you! Gu Ye, let me tell you, these foreign foods are not suitable for our Chinese stomachs. We Chinese people must eat Chinese food!"
Jiang Yue served Gu Ye a bowl of millet porridge and said shamelessly: "This Chinese pancake I made is delicious and fragrant. At the beginning, many people lined up to wait for it-"
At this point, Jiang Yue realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she quickly shut up.
"What are you waiting for in line?" Gu Ye looked up.
"Woo, waiting in line to smell the aroma!" Jiang Yue took a bite of the Chinese pancake, lowered his head guiltily, his eyes flickering.
Oh my god, it seems that I still can’t brag. I almost let the cat out of the bag!
In fact, Jiang Yue did not lie. When she was a blogger, she had tens of millions of fans. Later, she opened a chain restaurant and her business was booming. The beef lasagna in the restaurant uses her exclusive secret recipe for the beef sauce. Every customer must order it, and many customers line up to take it away.
Alas, that was all in the previous life.
Jiang Yue felt that Gu Ye seemed to glance at her, but fortunately he didn't ask any more questions and lowered his head to continue eating the cake.
"Ningning, come and have some porridge." Jiang Yue concealed his guilty conscience by asking Ningning to come and have some porridge.
She didn't know whether Gu Ye suspected her or not. It seemed that he didn't, but she also reminded herself to be careful in the future.
The fact that she traveled through a book and took over the original body cannot be explained by science. What if people find out that she is from the future and capture and torture her?
Here, Jiang Yue was secretly reminding herself to be careful with her words and actions in the future. She did not notice the doubt and deep thought that flashed across Gu Ye's lowered eyes.
After breakfast, Gu Ye was going to the group. Jiang Yue was hoping that he would leave quickly so that she could start working.
With Gu Ye at home, she was restricted in what she could do.
Hearing the gate being closed, Jiang Yue poked his head out of the main room. Ningning, who was sitting on a small bench under the osmanthus tree, raised her finger and gestured to Jiang Yue, "Dad is gone!"
Jiang Yue also made a “yeah” gesture.
start!
The tea eggs cooked last week had not been finished yet and were still simmering on the stove, but Jiang Yue didn't plan to sell them. She was afraid that when she came back after selling them, she would not be able to explain if Gu Ye asked her about it. She couldn't say that she and Ningning had eaten more than 20 tea eggs in the morning!
There is still stock of potatoes, tomatoes and sweet potatoes at home, but the weather is hot now, and potatoes are prone to sprouting. Sprouting potatoes contain toxins and cannot be eaten, so Jiang Yue dare not stockpile too much at one time.
It would be great if we had a cellar at home. We could store sweet potatoes, potatoes and cabbage in there. They won’t spoil easily.
Jiang Yue took out three pounds of potatoes and two pounds of sweet potatoes, peeled them and cut them into strips. She soaked the potato strips in clean water to remove the starch, poured oil into the pot and while heating it, she began to process the tomatoes to prepare to make tomato sauce.
Three pounds of potatoes can produce about twenty servings of French fries, and two pounds of sweet potatoes can produce about fifteen servings. A serving of French fries sells for 1.2 cents. After deducting the cost, Jiang Yue can make a net profit of about four yuan.
Although four dollars may not seem like a lot, this is one day's earnings. Forty dollars in ten days, and one hundred and twenty dollars a month, it's a lot when you calculate it all.
Although French fries taste better if they are fried on the spot, we don’t have the conditions to do so now, so we can only make them in advance.
After it cooled down a little, Jiang Yue spread greaseproof paper on the small basket, stacked it up in several layers and put it into the backpack. She took some ketchup and her homemade sweet plum powder, and the French fry selling duo set off.
"Mom, shall we go by bike?" Ningning had already prepared herself. She carried a small water bottle on her back. Jiang Yue asked Aunt Yang to sew a small bag for her, which she wore cross-body. The bag contained the peanut candies and dried fruits she bought yesterday.
"No more riding!" Jiang Yue hesitated for a moment and decided not to ride the bike for the time being.
She was afraid that her skills were not good enough and she would fall. In summer, people wear less, so if she fell, she would definitely get her skin broken. It would be terrible if she got disfigured.
Besides, if Ningning falls, Gu Ye will definitely fight her to the death!
"Then let's go, Mom!" Little Ningning did not feel disappointed. As long as she could be with her mother, she would be happy no matter what she did.
When Jiang Yue was leading Ningning out of the compound, they met a few women sitting under a big tree picking vegetables. She was not familiar with many people in the compound, but she would still greet them with a smile when she saw them.
"Sister-in-law is picking vegetables!"
"Jiang Yue is taking Ningning out again?" A middle-aged woman with short hair also responded to Jiang Yue with a smile.
"Yeah, let's go out for a walk."
When Jiang Yue disappeared, Zhou Guihua spoke up: "You said Jiang Yue carried a basket with him every day when he went out. What was in the basket that he covered so tightly?"
"Yes, I remember that Jiang Yue also went out with a basket every day last week. Does his family need such a big basket to carry the vegetables?" Wang Cui said from the side. She felt like a cat's claw was scratching her heart. She was so curious that she really wanted to go up and open Jiang Yue's basket to see what was inside.
"Just choose your own dishes. Why are you meddling in other people's business?" The middle-aged woman who greeted Jiang Yue did not respond to Zhou Guihua and Wang Cui's words.
"We are just idle and chatting!" Zhou Guihua laughed.
"You have to consider the person you are chatting with. Jiang Yue's man is Gu Ye. If you don't want to make things difficult for your men, don't talk about them behind their backs!" said the middle-aged woman.
Zhou Guihua curled her lips, looking disapproving. She whispered to Wang Cui, "I'm afraid Sister-in-law Qian doesn't know that Jiang Yue will soon no longer be a member of our family compound!"
Jiang Yue didn't know that Zhou Guihua was plotting against her behind her back again. She was in a good mood and walked all the way to the county town with Ningning.
It was still early, so Jiang Yue still went to the vegetable market. Some of her old customers would come to buy French fries for their children almost every two days.
Sure enough, just as Jiang Yue put down the backpack, a neatly dressed middle-aged woman came over and said, "Miss, why didn't you come yesterday? My little grandson was clamoring for French fries. I waited for you all day yesterday but you didn't come!"
"Something happened at home yesterday." Jiang Yue smiled and said politely to the aunt.
The old lady bought two servings, and after paying, she continued to talk to Jiang Yue, "You are really talented, girl. To be honest, I also tried to make French fries at home, but my eldest grandson and youngest grandson said they were not tasty! They would never eat the French fries I made."
She approached Jiang Yue mysteriously and said, "Girl, tell me your secret recipe for making delicious French fries. I will never tell anyone! I will make them for my grandson!"
Jiang Yue smiled and said, "Auntie, this is my exclusive secret recipe. If I tell you, how can I make money?"
"I know you so well, but you refuse to tell me that I won't buy you French fries next time!" The aunt was unhappy and turned away.
Jiang Yue just shook her head. This old lady was really whimsical. She actually asked her for the secret recipe. If she told her the secret recipe, how could she do business?
Next, people kept coming to buy French fries, both old and new customers. The old customers basically paid directly, while the new customers wanted to buy more after tasting them but thought they were too expensive, and some of them would complain for a long time.
Some people brought their children to taste a French fry, and then asked Jiang Yue for more, saying that their children had not tasted the flavor yet and wanted to eat a few more.
