The pancakes were quickly cooked, placed in a bowl, covered, and then the flower began to stir-fry the vegetables inside.
There's a trick to stir-frying shredded potatoes. First, cut them evenly, then wash them several times with clean water. Finally, add vinegar to boiling water and blanch the shredded potatoes for 20 seconds over high heat. This will make the stir-fried shredded potatoes very refreshing.
When stir-frying, adding those side dishes makes the colors beautiful. Although there's no meat, the flowers release their rich oil, filling the whole house with a delicious aroma.
The dish that was served left Gu Lanyan dumbfounded: "You really studied this? Are you kidding me?"
Hua Kai laughed: "Mom, when have I ever lied to you? You taste it first to see if it's salty enough, and I'll continue frying the eggs."
Gu Lanyan took a bite and praised it repeatedly: "Delicious, much better than what I stir-fry."
Hua Kai fried five eggs. Normally, you put one fried egg in a tortilla, but since this is an experiment, we can't be that extravagant, so we cut them into pieces.
Everything was ready. Hua Kaiquan took out a pancake and handed it to Gu Lanyan: "Mom, try it quickly."
Gu Lanyan was also curious and hopeful. At first, she thought the child was just having a whim, but now she was certain that the child had definitely learned from someone.
She took a bite and exclaimed, "Delicious! This is so delicious! I really didn't expect my daughter to not only excel in her studies, but also cook better than most people."
Hua Kai was a little embarrassed by her mother's praise: "Mom, I'll cook for you more often from now on. I've learned a lot of cooking skills from that old lady."
Gu Lanyan said, "That won't do. You teach your cooking skills to your mother, and she will cook for you. You need to set aside time to learn."
Hua Kai smiled and said, "It's okay to balance work and rest, Mom. Eat more and give me your feedback."
Gu Lanyan ate half a tortilla and said, "I have no complaints, it's delicious."
Hua Kai felt that her mother's subjective judgment of her was too obvious, and she needed to find someone else to give her some feedback.
She said to Gu Lanyan, "Mom, I'll send two to Li Jing's family so she can try them and see what she says. After all, we're going to sell them, so we need to get the approval of most people. You can also send some to the neighbors so they can give you their opinions."
Gu Lanyan agreed, "Okay, then let's split up." As she spoke, Gu Lanyan began to look for bowls to fill them.
After they finished packing, the mother and daughter each took their bowls and went out.
The flowers bloomed at Li Jing's house. Li Jing and her mother, Jiang Lanfeng, were sitting on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) picking green beans, preparing to cook lunch.
Jiang Lanfeng was a straightforward person. Seeing the flowers bloom, she smiled and said, "The flowers are in bloom. Come and sit down."
Because the two families were distant relatives, Hua Kai addressed Jiang Lanfeng as "Aunt Feng." She said, "Aunt Feng, my mother and I made some pancakes. Would you like to try them and see how they taste?"
Jiang Lanfeng looked at the cakes in the bowl and said, "These look so good, so smooth, you can almost see the filling inside. Your family always makes such perfect things."
As she spoke, she took the bowl, placed it on the kang table, then took out one, broke it in half, and gave one half to Li Jing.
After taking a few bites, the two began to praise the food, saying that they had never eaten such delicious wraps before. They said that their families had made them before, but the taste was far inferior.
As Jiang Lanfeng ate, she said, "Huakai, your pancakes are so delicious they could be sold! They're really tasty and look beautiful. Look at the colors inside, so pretty, all red and green, and the potato shreds look so refreshing."
Hua Kai said, "Feng Gu, my mother and I are planning to sell them at the market. Can you give us some advice and tell us what needs to be improved?"
At this moment, Li Jing slapped her thigh and suddenly remembered something, saying, "Hua Kai, so what you said at the market was true?"
Hua Kai nodded and said, "Yes, I still want to go to high school, so I need to think about how to make money."
Jiang Lanfeng thought for a moment and said, "I think it's delicious enough. Even without meat, you can taste the meat flavor. I think it's good."
Hua Kai smiled and said, "Then I'll give it a try the day after tomorrow. We'll only know if it works after we try. Anyway, there's not much cost. If it doesn't sell, we can just bring it back and eat it together."
Li Jing said, "I think it can be sold. It tastes so good. I would buy it if it were me."
Jiang Lanfeng said to Hua Kai, "If you're busy feeding the pigs and chickens at your stall, just let me know and I'll come over and feed them."
Hua Kai thanked Jiang Lanfeng, saying, "Thank you, Aunt Feng. I'll go back and tell my mother that I won't stand on ceremony with your family."
Jiang Lanfeng looked at the blooming flowers and suddenly froze: "Why is this child acting differently today?"
Li Jing directly helped Hua Kai explain to Jiang Lanfeng: "Mom, it's because after Hua Kai and Hua Lin had a fight yesterday, Hua Kai realized her mistake and said she would change and stop letting people bully her."
Jiang Lanfeng nodded: "That's right. Tell me, what is that Hua Lin? Everyone in the village is talking about her now. She's shameless. Luckily, Hua Kai is alright, otherwise I would be furious."
Hua Kai looked at Jiang Lanfeng and Li Jing and said, "Aunt Feng, you two really look alike. But don't worry, I'll go all out from now on. At most, I'll fight them. Hua Lin is trying to drive me to my death. If I'm still like before, I'll be harmed by her again. I promise I won't be that stupid in the future."
"Good child, Aunt Feng believes in you." Jiang Lanfeng patted Huakai's head: "What a good child, tell me what they forced you to do."
Hua Kai smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Feng, for taking care of me all these years. When I earn money in the future, I will repay Aunt Feng."
Jiang Lanfeng smiled broadly: "Okay, then Aunt Feng will wait." She was also trying to coax a child.
Hua Kai was serious, but some things didn't need to be said too much. She said to Jiang Lanfeng, "Aunt Feng, I'm going back now. If I really want to set up a stall at the market, I'll have to prepare quite a bit."
"Okay, go back now. Just call me if you need anything." Jiang Lanfeng said as she turned the bowl upside down.
Hua Kai thanked them again, said goodbye to Jiang Lanfeng and Li Jing, and took the bowl home.
When she arrived at her doorstep, Gu Lanyan was also returning from across the road. She first went to the Zhang family in the east courtyard, and then went to the Wang family in the front courtyard, which was across the road.
Seeing the flowers bloom, Gu Lanyan was overjoyed. She followed the flowers into the yard and reported her findings: "Everyone says the flowers are delicious and look great."
Hua Kai also said, "Feng Gu and Li Jing both agreed. This afternoon I'll go to the township supply and marketing cooperative to buy some plastic bags. We'll make insulated boxes, and we'll set up a stall the day after tomorrow."
Gu Lanyan readily agreed, saying, "Okay, okay, I'm confident now. Besides, I've calculated that the cost is really not much. The vegetables are all grown by ourselves, and we don't use much flour. The only problem is that we can't supply enough eggs ourselves, so we have to buy some."
Hua Kai opened the door and went into the kitchen. She put the plate on the stove and said with a smile, "Mom, you can't do the math like that. You have to consider the cost of your own vegetables too. In winter, when we don't have any vegetables, we need to buy more, right? And what about oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar?"
