Chapter 27 Initial Results
The Dong family got their comeuppance, real comeuppance!
Jiang Mingyue couldn't wait to see what happened to the Dong family.
But she also knew that there must be a lot of people outside the Dong family watching the fun. If she went there now, she would be bothered by those people, so she decided to go another day.
Anyway, the town is not far from the village, and she can always find out where to buy food when she comes to the town.
Jiang Mingyue returned to the village carrying the backpack.
She walked along the riverside path and did not pass through the streets in the center of the village.
When he got home, he put down the backpack, took out the meat, put it in a bucket, and hung it in the well. He also sorted out the rest of the things.
Just at this time her grandfather came back. Jiang Mingyue took out the iron plate and demonstrated to her grandfather, asking him to help her make a bamboo rack that was almost as wide as the iron plate, which could be folded and opened.
"When the time comes, I'll fry the food and put it in a basin on the shelf so that people can choose from it."
Jiang Mingyue explained.
The old man understood what he meant and immediately started to do it.
He finished it quickly.
Jiang Mingyue also started to clean up the things. She scooped out a bowl of noodles with a bowl, added yeast and baking powder according to the proportions and kneaded it evenly.
Take out some of the freshly chopped meat, add salt and a little soy sauce, knead the dough and fry the pork boxes.
Pork boxes are the snacks she is currently planning to sell.
This is what she heard from Dong Meiyu when she came back from a date in the city when she died in her previous life and was trapped in the Dong family.
She had described this dish as fragrant and delicious. Jiang Mingyue was skillful, so even if she had never eaten it, she could find the method of making a pork box from the description she had heard.
So, she tried a bowl of noodles and fried eight of them. It was already quite similar to the original and the taste was well received by everyone at home.
Having succeeded on the first try, Jiang Mingyue is full of confidence for tomorrow.
The next day, Jiang Mingyue got up before daybreak. She had to go to the town to do business early, before the factory workers went to work.
It takes half an hour to walk from home to town. It’s five o’clock now. After washing up, I will leave for town at half past five.
Jiang Mingyue just came out of the room and saw that the light in her grandma's room was on.
Grandma packed up and came out to accompany her to town.
It is very dangerous for a young and pretty lesbian to travel alone at night. It would be safer with more people.
Despite this, Old Man Jiang still worriedly reminded them that if they really encountered danger, they should not worry about anything else and the most important thing was to protect themselves.
Jiang Mingyue smiled and nodded, patting the knife under his backpack, "Don't worry, Master, I have a knife with me, and it's sharpened to a very sharp point. If there are any bad guys, I will kill them one by one."
"Girl, you are just like Xinyue. You were obviously the most gentle before." The old lady joked with a smile.
Jiang Mingyue chuckled.
"This gentleness can't be used to make a living, and it can't protect my family. I can only become a housewife."
The grandfather and grandson each carried a backpack and walked towards the town. Fortunately, they were both used to doing farm work, so they could walk without any delay.
By the time they reached the town, they could barely see footsteps.
Jiang Mingyue took her grandmother and walked straight towards the Sanyi Cotton Mill and the Red Star Soap Factory.
Of the several factories in Tonglin Town, except for the timber factory and the brick factory, the remaining three are all located here.
Not far from the intersection, there is a workers' compound.
This can be said to be the most populous place in Tonglin.
When Jiang Mingyue arrived, there were not many people on the street. She found an intersection, put down the backpack, put out the sign she had written last night, and started to light the stove and heat the pot.
Grandma sat on a small stool beside her to rest and take a deep breath.
Before long, the aroma of meat pie wafted in the wind at the intersection.
The sky was completely bright, and there were more people walking on the road, including many people setting up stalls like Jiang Mingyue.
But they sell all kinds of things, no one sells pork boxes.
The overbearing aroma of the pork box goes straight into the stomach.
“How do you sell this cake?”
After frying five pork dumplings and two leek dumplings, Jiang Mingyue welcomed the first customer.
A beautifully dressed young lesbian.
Jiang Mingyue smiled and said, "Pork is 30 cents each, and leeks are 10 cents each."
"Give me two pork ones."
"Okay, comrade, wait a moment."
She skillfully wrapped the cakes in wax paper while the old lady collected money.
Fang Xiaoli took the steaming cake, blew on it twice and took a bite.
"It smells so good," she said incoherently while taking a deep breath.
For Jiang Mingyue, the recognition of customers is the greatest encouragement to her.
She put a chive box in an oil paper bag and gave it to Fang Xiaoli.
"Today is my first day out on business, and you are my first customer, so I'll give you a leek box to taste."
Fang Xiaoli was about to pay for it, but when she heard that it was a gift, she happily accepted it.
"The cakes you make are really delicious. I will tell my colleagues when I get home and ask them to buy cakes from you."
"thank you."
Jiang Mingyue thanked him sincerely.
More people came over one after another, attracted by the aroma of the pork box.
Seeing the pancakes fried golden on both sides, steaming and smelling of meat, almost everyone who came bought one.
Originally, the old lady was just helping to collect the money, but as there were too many people, Jiang Mingyue was too busy just making pancakes, so the old lady became responsible for packing the pork boxes and collecting the money.
Although the old lady is almost seventy years old, she is usually very neat and tidy. Although her clothes are bleached and patched, the cuffs and collars are all washed clean.
Her white hair was neatly tied behind her head, her fingernails were trimmed short and her hands were washed cleanly.
An old lady like this doesn't mind helping others dress.
To be honest, some of the food vendors on the street do not pay attention to hygiene.
Compared with them, Jiang Mingyue, who is young and beautiful and always has a smile on her face, and Jiang Mingyue, an old lady who is old but has a kind and gentle face, are really the ceiling in terms of cleanliness and hygiene.
In addition, the things made by Jiang Mingyue had never been seen here before and they smelled delicious, which greatly increased their desire to buy.
Each person bought two or three. Jiang Mingyue had only been setting up the stall for two hours when her bucket of stuffing and a bowl of stuffing were all used up.
There are still some leeks left that are not used.
She bought ten kilograms of flour and five kilograms of meat, and made about two hundred pancakes. The meat pancakes sold more, while the leek pancakes sold relatively less. She would have to wait until she got home to calculate the exact amount of money she made.
"Grandma, take a rest. I'll pack up and we'll go home."
Jiang Mingyue was very happy.
The old lady was also happy.
To be honest, her granddaughter said she wanted to do business, and she was so worried that she couldn't sleep for half the night, because she was worried that she wouldn't be able to sell the things and make her granddaughter sad.
Now it seems that she was thinking too much.
Her granddaughter is a capable person.
After packing up their things and putting them in a backpack, the grandfather and grandson left with the backpack on their backs.
People on the street watched them leave so quickly and couldn't help but laugh at how these two people did so well in business, why didn't they work a little longer?
You really can't make money.
But then again, the dish made by that girl is so popular, can they also learn from her?
