Chapter 353 Egg Burger
"Second sister, what you said makes sense." The eldest brother-in-law agreed.
Sister Gu also thought what Sister Gu said was right, but,
"You said we gave birth to them, but why are they unwilling to take care of us when we are old? We didn't ask them to take care of our shit and urine, and we are still able to move, but they are not happy. What will we do now that we are old and can't move?"
"We have worked all our lives, and in old age we still have to go out to work and earn money. If that's the case, what's the point of having children? It's better not to have children."
Sister Gu felt very aggrieved.
They are almost sixty years old and still have to go out to work. Is this reasonable?
Second Sister Gu sighed, "We can't rely on the children for everything, can we? I mean, while we can still move and have the energy, we should do something to earn some money."
Family, love and friendship all need money to maintain. If you are extremely poor, even your family members will not want to pay attention to you.
My second brother-in-law also said, "Yes, big sister, and we are not that old. Society is different now. People's living conditions have improved. In the past, living to 70 years old was considered a long life."
"As long as we don't have any accidents or serious illnesses, we will have no problem living to around 80 years old."
"Look, the children have to support us for more than 20 years from now on. The children are under a lot of pressure, with elderly parents and young children to take care of."
Sister Gu snorted coldly, "Why is there so much pressure? How much money can we spend? We don't even live with them and let them serve us. They just give us a few dozen yuan a month for our retirement."
"They earn thousands of dollars a month, but they are reluctant to give even a few dozen dollars to their parents."
"Look at little He Jianhua, how nice he is to his parents."
To be honest, Sister Gu envied her mother for giving birth to such a filial son and marrying such a filial daughter-in-law.
She buys her new clothes every month, and her closet is full of them. The skin care products her mother uses on her face are more expensive than what she uses, and she has several sets. The old lady also has perfume, but she doesn't have any.
Not to mention the pocket money that my younger brother and sister-in-law give to the old couple every month.
I was given 200 four or five years ago, and now it's estimated to be 400 per month, which I can't spend all.
Now her mother is living a carefree life. She even started to learn calligraphy while wearing reading glasses. After studying for a few years, she has obtained a first and second grade primary school diploma. Don’t you think that’s amazing?
Sister Gu is simply envious of her mother's life.
"That can't be compared. Who can compare with my parents?"
"Anyway, Yuncai and I plan to work until we are 60, save some money, and then travel around when we are old, like our parents did."
Because not every child is as filial as Xiao He Jianhua.
Sister Gu heard this and said, "Erhu, you are going to travel when you are old. You might as well go now. Where can you go when you are old and your legs are inconvenient?"
My second brother-in-law said, "My parents are over 70 years old, but they are still in good health. We plan to start traveling when we are 65 years old, and go out twice a year when we are 70 years old."
Among the four siblings, the eldest sister and her husband are the worst off. The second sister and her husband used to be in a similar situation, but now they are also rich.
My eldest brother-in-law felt a little dissatisfied in his heart. They are all family. It’s okay that his child is not as promising as other children, but he and his wife are not as good as others.
I won’t talk about the third and fourth brothers, they are different from these people.
The second brother and his wife were similar to them before. They both left their homes to farm. They came to Beijing to look after their daughter's baby, and how did they end up starting a business?
I make hundreds of dollars every month just by selling meat buns!
The eldest brother-in-law thought that if the second brother's family could do it, they could do it too. It's just selling snacks, who can't do it!
He said, "Yuncai Erhu is right. No one has as much money as we do. Let's go for a walk on the street and see what's available. We can take a look."
Sister Gu sighed and said, "Just look at it."
Second sister Gu was still willing to see her eldest sister stand up and make money. She said, "Sister and brother-in-law, when you come back from watching, what snacks do you want to make? We can discuss and discuss how to make it more delicious."
"Okay."
Sister Gu and her brother-in-law went for a stroll on the street. After a look around, they saw all kinds of things for sale, including steamed buns, steamed bread, pancakes, scallion pancakes, donkey meat, roasted meat, and steamed buns with meat. There was a wide variety of things.
After walking around for a while, the couple still didn't know what to make. They didn't seem to know how to make thin pancakes, and there were too many people selling steamed buns and steamed buns, and theirs weren't as delicious as others.
Sister Gu, "Why don't you sell eggs? Tea leaf eggs."
She knows how to cook tea eggs.
My brother-in-law disagreed, "Tea leaf eggs are sold as a set. Selling them separately won't work."
“I have an idea in my head, but I don’t know how to describe it.”
Sister Gu, "You mean snacks?"
Brother-in-law, "Yes, you have done it before at home."
Sister Gu, "Tell me, what is it made of?"
Brother-in-law, "It's also eggs, fried eggs, and you put the leftover meat stuffing on top, it's quite delicious, but I don't think it's okay to sell it like this, it will all fall apart."
"I just feel that fried eggs and meat fillings taste good together."
After hearing what her brother-in-law said, Sister Gu got an idea. "You said it was delicious, right?"
The elder brother-in-law nodded, and elder sister Gu said, "You said it tasted good, but when it was made, the eggs and meat stuffing spread out, which was not beautiful."
Brother-in-law: “Yes.”
Sister Gu said, "I didn't cook it well. If we want to sell it, we must cook it well. The egg must be round and the meat filling must be firmly on top of the egg!"
"Let's go to the market and buy some pork and eggs."
"Okay, let's go to Xiaomei's house and try it out first."
After being despised and rejected by their children, and talked about by their relatives, Sister Gu and her husband suddenly realized that they could also earn money to support themselves.
I went to the market and bought meat, vegetables, and eggs.
The meat was chopped into stuffing, some of which was used to make dumplings and some was kept for Sister Gu to experiment with.
Sister Gu first beat the eggs in the pot. Although she was very careful when beating them, they were still a little scattered and not round. Sister Gu then put some meat filling on them.
But when it was finally cooked, the meat filling still fell apart.
Second sister Gu looked at eldest sister Gu and said, "Eldest sister, I feel that if you want to make your eggs round, you need something with a round mouth to hold them in place."
"And then if you don't want the filling to spread, you have to cover it with an egg."
Sister Gu listened and said, "Then it's meat stuffed with steamed buns? No, it's egg stuffed with meat!"
Sister Gu said, "It's meat sandwiched between eggs. But you have to do it this way so that the meat doesn't fall apart when you turn it over."
"Or if it's a single egg, you don't turn it over and it's cooked on one side."
Sister Gu shook her head, "That won't work. If you cook it on one side, the egg will be overcooked."
"I think your method won't work either. Find something round to hold the egg on top, and then how do you flip it over?"
Sister Gu shook her head, "Oh, I don't know either. I just think that if you want to make the egg round, you have to find something with a round mouth to hold it in place. If you don't want the meat to fall apart, you have to cover it with an egg or some other batter."
"It's true that nothing is easy. It's cooked. Try it and have a taste." Sister Gu sighed.
Sister Gu tasted it and said, "It's delicious."
Fried eggs are delicious in themselves, and minced meat is added to them.
Sister Gu looked at the egg and meat scraps scattered in the pot, and an idea came to her mind, but it was fleeting and she couldn't remember it.
Forget it, let’s eat first!
But the thought soon came to her mind again because she saw the toys of Xiaomei's son, a first-grade junior high school student.
A toy with many round holes. I don't know what it is used for.
But Sister Gu was inspired.
She asked Zhang Chen, "Zhang Chen, is there such a pot on the market?"
It was hard to explain it in one sentence, so Sister Gu even used gestures.
Zhang Chen understood, "I don't know, Auntie, I think there should be one. You can go to the department store to have a look."
"Or you can ask your uncle and aunt."
Sister Gu said, "Okay, okay, I'll go ask in the afternoon."
After a short rest after dinner, Sister Gu and her husband came to Su He. Chang An was getting married, so Su He was a little busy.
Seeing that Su He was busy, Sister Gu did not dare to ask and sat on the sofa to chat with Xu's father and mother.
The child is still young, so Xingran Jianian and her husband couldn’t come, so Xu’s father and mother came instead and just arrived today.
Sister Gu thought that since Mr. and Mrs. Xu were from big cities and had seen the world, they might know about this kind of pot.
Xu's mother said, "Oh, I know the one you're talking about, the one who makes egg burgers."
Sister Gu, "Egg burger?"
Xu's mother said, "Yes, the egg burger is the same as the meat bun, but the meat bun has noodles on both sides, and the egg burger has eggs."
Egg burgers are a snack that has appeared in Hai City in the past two years. They didn’t exist before and must have been introduced from other places.
Sister Gu: "Sister, I understand."
It turns out that the thing she made was called an egg burger. Okay, okay, she will sell egg burgers from now on.
the next day.
Chang'an got married and held a banquet.
There were just about twenty tables filled with relatives of both the bride and groom.
That day, Su He and Gu Jianhua were extremely busy.
But finally the wedding was over.
At night, Su He was lying on the bed, talking to Gu Jianhua.
"I have four kids. The first and second are both married. I am halfway through the mission. It will be almost done."
Gu Jianhua, "Changjun and Changhuan will take the college entrance examination next year, and they will definitely get married within ten years."
If he doesn't finish his work, I'll urge him to do it!
Su He, "There are still ten years left, I will just retire."
The two fell asleep while chatting.
The newlyweds Guan Bolin and his wife in Chang'an were excitedly counting money. Guan Bolin took out a passbook and said, "My parents gave me 20,000 yuan as a dowry."
"Including the money we received today, it's 30,000 yuan now."
"We're rich!" Guan Bolin said excitedly.
Changan, "Wife, there will be a surprise waiting for you tomorrow."
Guan Bolin, "What's the surprise?"
"You'll find out when you go to your parents' house tomorrow."
The next day, Guan Bolin learned about the surprise that Chang'an had mentioned. It was indeed a surprise, a big surprise at that.
Because her parents-in-law actually gave them a savings book with $100,000 in it.
"This is for you two. This money will be used as start-up capital for your family."
"Thank you, Mom and Dad."
Su He smiled, "Bolin, come here for a moment."
Guan Bolin thought that her mother-in-law called her into the room and gave her some private instructions, or some secrets on running a household.
Unexpectedly, her mother-in-law took out a bracelet.
Green jadeite bracelet.
"Here you go."
Guan Bolin received two jade bracelets last year and bought them as a gift. After learning about jade, she realized how expensive it is.
And what her mother-in-law is holding now is worth tens of millions.
She was terrified, "Mom, this is too expensive."
Su He smiled, "Keep it. I bought it a while ago. Each of you brothers and sisters can get one." He put the bracelet on her wrist.
Did you find it before? Guan Bolin understood immediately.
Her mother-in-law is really a heroine. Aren't those kinds of speculations usually done by men?
Her mother-in-law is awesome!
Guan Bolin said obediently, "Thank you, Mom."
