Chapter 66: Boss Zhao has a sharp eye
The bacon was very greasy, and once you took a bite it was all oily. Mei Xue ate it with such relish.
"Don't just eat the meat. The rice will be ready soon. Just wait." Grandma He saw that Xiaomei ate too fast and was worried that she would choke.
"It's okay. I'll eat it when the rice is cooked." She didn't want to eat the good food alone, she had to eat it with her grandma, "Grandma, try it. This bacon made by Aunt Meilian is really delicious."
"You." Looking at the meat handed to her mouth, Grandma He didn't act pretentiously. She opened her mouth and swallowed the whole piece.
It smells so good right in my mouth.
Ten minutes later, the rice in the pot began to smell delicious, and Grandma He went out again carrying a large bowl of rice.
"Is there enough rice? If not, we have more at home." Looking at the empty rice bowl, Grandma He said with a smile.
It’s okay. We still have rice at home. You can eat as much as you want. We’re not worried that you will finish it all.
"Thank you, Aunt He." A group of servants expressed their gratitude one by one.
“Don’t be angry, eat more and don’t skip meals. It’s just that our family is poor and we don’t have any good food to eat.” Grandma He said with an embarrassed look on her face (Are you sure you’re embarrassed because your family is poor?).
"Aunt He, you're too polite. This dish has a lot of oil and water. It's much better than what we eat at home." A group of waiters responded immediately.
"Then you should eat more."
Uncle Shi is focused on drinking, but Boss Zhao and his wife have been cooking for so many years that they can taste everything well.
The dishes on the table are indeed very ordinary, but their taste is incomparable to ordinary dishes.
"Aunt He, did you grow these vegetables yourself?" He runs a restaurant and always buys vegetables from people in the village. He has been eating here for so many years and the taste never changes.
But today, he found that he would be willing to exchange these vegetables for meat.
"Yes, we grow it ourselves. If we don't grow it, we won't have anything to eat." Grandma He sat down on the empty stool, picked up a bowl and filled it with rice, and ate with them.
They can't both hide in the kitchen and eat meat, someone has to come out to entertain them.
"Auntie, are you selling these vegetables?" Boss Zhao was a little excited.
When Grandma He heard what he said, she smiled and said, "Sell it, of course. I look forward to the crops growing well all year round so I can make some money for the family."
Grandma He didn’t think much about her own dishes. She just thought that Boss Zhao ran a restaurant and asked this question just because he wanted to buy some to take back.
"Can you sell me then?"
Sure enough, it was just as she expected.
"It's not that we don't want to sell to you, but all the vegetables at home have been sold out, and those that are left are for our own consumption. We can't sell them all and then not eat the vegetables ourselves." Grandma He joked with a smile.
"Ah, all sold?" Boss Zhao was a little disappointed. If only he had met Aunt He earlier, these dishes would be much better than those he bought. They could definitely be sold in his son's restaurant at a higher price.
I have to say, all businessmen are dishonest.
"What else? If I don't sell it, I won't be able to live like this anymore?" Grandma He glared at Zhao Aijun unhappily, "Why don't you give me money?"
"Sure, Aunt He, I'll take whatever you have and I'll pay for it." Boss Zhao said with a flattering look.
It’s just paying money, it doesn’t matter who you buy from. Spending money is not scary, what’s scary is that you spend the money and still can’t buy good things.
"Oh, that's great. I have a lot of land growing vegetables at my house. If you want them, come over in a month or so and take them away yourself." It just so happened that there were a lot of vegetables at home.
Before, she was worried about who to sell the vegetables to, but now, as long as someone wants them, it’s good.
"Really?" Boss Zhao was really in high spirits.
"I lied to you and you got money?"
Boss Zhao didn't think about the meal at all, but fortunately he got what he wanted.
After the wine was weighed by kilogram, Boss Zhao took Uncle Shi away from Hejia Village and carried away all the jars.
After seeing off this group of people, An Liang and An Wen were counting money in the yard stupidly, with their parents standing behind them.
Everyone was very excited.
If they weren't at Third Aunt's house, they would have wanted to grab the money and count it.
After fermentation, An Wen's wine weighed about 100 kilograms. When he bought it, it only weighed 80 kilograms. The water content of the plums had increased a little.
But he only sold 85 kilograms, and he kept the rest for his father to drink to remove moisture.
The price Grandma He agreed on was a total of 170 yuan. This was a considerable amount of money, almost half a year's income for a family.
An Liang's was much less, only 40-odd kilograms of wine. He didn't brew much to begin with, and with what he kept for himself, it was less than 50 kilograms. Of course, what he had taken away before was not counted.
But his price was higher than Anwen's, and he got 120 yuan, which made him very proud.
Let’s not talk about Mei Xue’s wine, it cost several hundred yuan. She gave all the money to her grandmother and asked her to count it for fun.
Grandma He was just as Mei Xue wished, and she was counting happily on the side.
"Aunt San, thank you and Xiaoxue so much. If it weren't for you and Xiaoxue, there wouldn't be this bad boy An Liang today." He Zhengcai thanked his Aunt San with a proud face.
Grandma He rolled her eyes at him and said, "Stop showing off in front of me. My Xiaoxue is the best." She couldn't stand others showing off in front of her.
"Okay, okay, you all go back. You don't have to work this afternoon." The money had not been counted yet, so he quickly sent the people away.
"Hey, we'll be back soon." After being scolded, He Zhengcai immediately put away his boasting.
He Zhengxi also planned to leave with a grateful look on his face.
Mei Xue looked at the two boxes of plums in the yard and said, "An Liang and An Wen, don't go. We need to clean up these plums. They won't last overnight." Unexpectedly, they actually picked some plums, but they were not as good as the previous ones.
"We'll all listen to my sister-in-law." The two immediately gave the money to their parents and sent them away with a respectful look on their faces.
They knew that the sister-in-law didn't like being around crowds.
After everyone left, Grandma He turned around and went into the house, leaving three people in the yard.
"Okay, stop watching. Go buy some jars and some wine first. I think there's enough wine in the village for you." Looking at the two idiots, Mei Xue suddenly felt pain in her eyes.
All the jars in the house were taken away by Boss Zhao. He didn't expect there would be so much wine, so he just took them away with the seals.
"Okay, let's go buy jars and wine now. Then sister-in-law, what should we do with these plums?" An Wen worked very hard.
"I'll put it at the back by the well. You guys go and come back quickly. It's best to seal the plum wine tonight. Seal it for a little longer this time, and put less sugar." She didn't plan to put space water to help them, so they had to pay attention to some details.
Mei Xue is different from others. She is used to drinking space water. As soon as she drinks the wine, she knows that there is too much sugar.
I'll put a little less this time and brew it for a little longer, and I think the thickness of the wine will increase.
"Okay, there's still some candy left from last time, so I think that should be enough." An Liang counted the things he had at home while listening.
As for the cylinders, it seems I need to buy more.
