Lin Qin encouraged him affirmatively: "If you work hard, you will have everything."
She knew only a little about Zhao Xiaohong now, so she didn't dare say too much. She first taught her some methods of preparing seafood, then looked at Ye Wenwen and asked about breakfast.
Ye Wenwen quickly opened the basket of flour that was almost fermented. "I discussed with Xiaohong and decided to prepare steamed buns and dumplings for the children in the future, and add some soy milk or something. It's easy to prepare and the children like it.
It just so happens that Xiaohong is particularly good at making pasta, so I've made the dough first, and will add some chopped green onions and make steamed buns. There's no time to grind the beans this year, so I'll just make soy milk and cook some lean meat soup, and have the steamed buns for breakfast.
Lunch is the same as yesterday, seafood noodles, and for afternoon snack we have Tremella sweet porridge.”
This recipe is acceptable. Lin Qin thought about it and made a suggestion, "You can also make steamed egg custard, lean meat porridge, oyster noodle soup, noodle soup, milk with steamed buns, etc. These are all suitable for making snacks.
As for milk, as far as I know, there are many people raising buffaloes in the suburban villages. If you buy a lot, they can give you a discount. If you buy a pound of pure milk and cook it yourself, you will definitely need to add some water. A pound of milk is enough for two or three children to drink. If you do the math, it is actually not expensive and is very nutritious. "
Ye Wenwen was persuaded. As for Zhao Xiaohong, she looked at Lin Qin with admiration and had no opinion at all.
In the next few days, Lin Qin not only taught classes but also taught Zhao Xiaohong cooking, and Zhao Xiaohong respected her as her master.
Her help helped Guoqing.
Seeing that the nursery was about to have a short holiday, Zhao Xiaohong looked cheerful and had no other thoughts, so Lin Qin asked, "Do you plan to have fun or make money during the National Day holiday?"
Zhao Xiaohong's eyes suddenly lit up, "Make money, I want to make money!"
Lin Qin smiled and gave her a suggestion, "You are good at making noodles. During the National Day, go to Friendship Square to set up a stall to sell noodles, steamed buns, shrimp cakes, oyster cakes, vegetable cakes, and sweet potato cakes. Try selling them all. Even if you don't make any money, you won't lose money either. Why don't you give it a try?"
After spending some time together, she found that Zhao Xiaohong was a down-to-earth and hardworking girl. Even though her life was hard, she never complained and always thought about how to make a good living.
She admired such girls and naturally wanted to help them.
Needless to say, Zhao Xiaohong was tempted, but a little hesitant, "Where should I buy those ingredients?"
She had never bought seafood because she had no money in her pocket. She was not in charge of the accounts when she was with her brothers and sisters, and she had never even been to the vegetable market.
Lin Qin looked at her with amusement, "Come to me! I don't have anything else at home, so how can I not have seafood? I'll give you the same price I gave to the nursery. You can go to Wenjun Seafood Wholesale Store, tell me my name, and say you want river shrimps and oysters. I guarantee that they will be prepared for you.
For other vegetables, just find an old lady at the market and buy some. Try it out first. It only takes a stove, a pot, and a few basins. If you make money, wouldn’t you be happy? If you really have no idea, I’ll help you on the first day.”
Lin Qin had said so much, so Zhao Xiaohong naturally would not refuse anymore.
When she got home, she told her eldest brother, second brother and third sister about the stall.
Zhao Weiguo, the eldest brother of the Zhao family, has been working on the construction site and has not had any long vacations. When he heard Zhao Xiaohong's proposal, he frowned instinctively and said, "Fourth sister, if you want to try, I don't mind. It's just that I can't help you. If you are short of capital, I can give you some."
Zhao Xiaohong shook her head repeatedly, her face flushed, "I got my salary last month, that money is enough, I don't need big brother's money."
When the second brother Zhao Wei's family arrived in the city, he borrowed money and bought a second-hand tricycle, which was used exclusively to transport passengers.
"Fourth sister, many people go out during the National Day holiday. I have to attract customers and can't help you." Zhao Weijia looked helpless. He had not yet repaid the money he borrowed and was under great pressure due to the debt.
My third sister, Zhao Xiaoqing, works as a dishwasher in a restaurant for thirty days a month, 30 days a year, so she is of no help at all.
Zhao Xiaohong knew the situation of her brothers and sisters, and she didn't expect them to help. She just told them so that everyone would have some idea.
The first day of the National Day holiday.
Zhao Xiaohong went to Wenjun Seafood Wholesale Store early in the morning. It was just after five o'clock, but the seafood wholesale store was already crowded with people and the business was booming.
She, a little girl, couldn't squeeze through those grown men and could only look out anxiously.
A few old men and women were out for a walk. Seeing Zhao Xiaohong standing in front of the seafood restaurant for most of the day without moving, they immediately stepped forward to ask, "Little girl, what are you doing?"
Zhao Xiaohong shyly expressed her intention.
A few experienced people could tell at once whether Zhao Xiaohong was telling the truth or a lie.
The old lady immediately pulled her and said, "Come on! I'll lead you in."
With the help of the old lady, Zhao Xiaohong successfully came in front of Lin Shaojun.
"Shaojun! This girl said she wanted to buy seafood, but she walked back and forth outside for several times and didn't dare to come in. You should ask her what she wants."
Lin Shaojun nodded quickly and looked at Zhao Xiaohong, "What do you want?"
Zhao Xiaohong's face flushed, and she stammered, "Yes, Sister Lin Qin asked me to come here to buy river shrimps and oysters. I cook at the nursery."
Lin Shaojun suddenly realized, "Zhao Xiaohong, right?"
Zhao Xiaohong nodded frantically.
Lin Shaojun turned around and handed her two bags of oysters and a bag of river shrimps. "Everything is here, four pounds each. I'll record the bill here, and you can settle with Sister Aqin later."
Zhao Xiaohong quickly left the seafood restaurant with her things.
After I got back, I immediately went to the nearby vegetable market and bought carrots, cabbage, onions, garlic, and ten kilograms of sweet potatoes.
The flour and sweet potato starch have been bought in advance, and all that’s left is to mix the batter and then you can set up the stall.
When she was almost done, Zhao Weijia rode a tricycle to help her carry the things to Friendship Square.
This time she got two small coal stoves, one for steaming buns and the other for frying things.
The things were almost ready, but Zhao Weijia saw no one around, and couldn't help but worry, "Fourth sister, do you think these things can be sold today?"
Zhao Xiaohong was unsure, but she didn't dare to show her fear. "Second brother, you go ahead and do your work. I'll try it first. If I can't sell it, I'll take it back and eat it myself."
Zhao Weijia was full of worry. Seeing that it was getting late, he really couldn't stay any longer and had to leave first.
Not long after Zhao Weijia left, someone came over smelling the fragrance.
When I saw the freshly-cooked shrimp cakes and oyster cakes, I immediately bought one of each.
Zhao Xiaohong quickly packed the food for them and said with a simple smile, "If it's delicious, come back again."
The other party ate an oyster cake in a few bites and was still not satisfied, so he bought four more.
When passers-by saw this, they all came over to join in the fun.
Early in the morning, there are many people eating buns and steamed buns.
By the way, most of Zhao Xiaohong’s steamed buns were also sold.
Lin Qin arrived at the Friendship Square at nearly ten o'clock in the morning. She saw Zhao Xiaohong surrounded by guests from a distance. She smiled unconsciously, parked her bicycle and squeezed into the crowd. "How is it?" (End of this chapter)
