Jade Phoenix is not easy
Miao Fang was right when she said this job was very popular.
As soon as the team heard that Liu's young wife was pregnant, Li Jianlin's wife was selected.
Some people beat their chests and stamp their feet: Why are we one step slower than others!
Some people are dissatisfied and indignant: How could such a shrew like Miao Fang be elected?
Some people cursed:
"Hmph, how are our family worse than hers? It must be your aunt who is such a bad guy. She did it on purpose and has no humanity at all!" This is Aunt Wang.
"Didn't you say you have a good relationship with Yang Xiu? No matter how I ask you, you are not good at anything and only know how to eat!" This is Da Wu's wife.
Some people are busy hugging thighs:
"Shehong, if there's anything you can't take care of at home, just tell me. I'm free anyway!"
Liu Shehong smiled awkwardly. She had already told him that the candidate was not hers to decide, so why didn't he listen?
"Oh, you must be Huizi, right? I live not far from your home. If you are too busy to do anything, just tell me and I'll help you!"
Huizi smiled gently and agreed, and when she got home she quickly reminded Niuniu not to ever accept anything from anyone else.
Some people are dismissive:
"What's so great about that? Anyone can set up a stall. Boss, let's set up one next market!"
"What are you selling?"
"…What can you do? You don't have any skills. Go sleep with your father tonight!"
"Fuck, why are you angry again!"
…
Hu Yufeng heard all of this vaguely, but as no one came to dance in front of her, she just quietly went about her own business.
What's the matter? Purchase pumpkin and red beans.
Yang Xiu is a kid who always likes to do great things quietly. Didn’t the couple go back to the plateau two months ago? After visiting their elderly brothers, they brought back a bunch of pastries and twisted dough sticks.
The old lady casually mentioned whether it was possible to make fried dough twists with red bean paste filling, and the child became interested in it. I thought about it when I had free time, and I actually figured it out. This thing needs to be added with milk, and the selling price is two cents more expensive than others, but the sales are still good.
It just so happens that there is no wheat that has sprouted this year, and using new wheat to sprout always feels like a waste of food. I couldn't get over the hurdle in my heart, and the market for sprouted wheat noodles was also average, so I simply eliminated it.
In this way, the number of varieties of fried dough twists at home remained the same, but sales volume increased, and the profit also increased rapidly.
The last time Wenli went to the plateau, he saw beans ground into powder for sale, so when he came back he wanted to make pumpkin powder from pumpkin. It is a good thing to have a spirit of research, and Hu Yufeng certainly supported it. So the child made an earthen oven based on the tobacco curing oven. They tried it with the pumpkin they had at home and it worked.
In previous years, pumpkins could only be stored in the cellar for three to two months, but now that this problem no longer exists, we can purchase them in large quantities.
First, the money comes from relatives and friends.
Hu Yufeng has few relatives. Her second sister is a quarrelsome one, her youngest sister is a coward, and she has an aunt who is extremely wealthy.
So Qin Wenli went directly to his father-in-law's house and collected pumpkins from the three families, filling up two whole trucks. Then he spread the word in the village, asking people to send pumpkins over if they had any to sell, but he didn’t want the rotten or bad ones!
Hu Yufeng looked at the endless stream of pumpkin heads and wondered how long it would take to cut them.
…
Chen Xiulian originally came to watch the fun. In the past two days, truckloads of pumpkins have been flowing into the second sister's house. She wants to see how big the cellar is to store them all.
As a result, when they saw Miao Fang and the others, they couldn't help but say something sour:
"Hey, I'm not saying anything to you, sister-in-law. Our three families are the real relatives. You insist on inviting outsiders in. Aren't you afraid that they will learn your skills?"
Hu Yufeng was a little impatient at first, but after hearing what she said, she suddenly came up with an idea:
"That's right, sister-in-law, you are right. In this case, we are still recruiting people. Sister-in-law, will you come?"
Chen Xiulian was stared at by her sincere eyes and said with a wry smile: "Really? Come on, of course!" Everyone knows that you have confessed enough, and you are teasing me with words again. I want to see how you get out of this situation!
Hu Yufeng's face immediately turned happy. She handed the knife to Chen Xiulian with both hands, said, "Sister-in-law, please wait a moment," and ran inside.
In the blink of an eye, she ran out with an apron and tied it on Chen Xiulian in no time:
"Okay, sister-in-law, from now on you are a new employee, do your best!"
Chen Xiulian looked down at the knife in her hand, then looked up at Hu Yufeng, then looked down at the knife again: "Is this all right?"
"Yeah! I was just looking for someone to pick up these pumpkins, and you come here on your own initiative. Don't worry, sister-in-law, we are family and I will never treat you unfairly. How about five dollars a day?" Hu Yufeng looked painful.
Not good! I want to learn how to fry twisted dough sticks, but I don't want to cut pumpkins, but I can't say this out loud.
Seeing Chen Xiulian's hesitation, Hu Yufeng pinched her thigh and continued to increase the price: "This is not young at all. You can earn 150 yuan a month, while the fried dough twist maker only earns 100 yuan..."
Forget it, just cut it. Chen Xiulian felt happy when she thought of Hu Yufeng giving her the money with a painful look on her face!
…
It was not a good feeling at all. After half a day, her waist and legs were sore and she couldn't even lift her arms to hold the knife. When had Chen Xiulian ever suffered such pain?
Hu Yufeng was still waving her handkerchief behind her and shouting, "Sister-in-law, don't forget tomorrow at ten o'clock!"
After shouting, he showed off loudly to the one who sent the pumpkin:
"Yes, my sister-in-law also works at my house..."
"Of course I have to pay. Five dollars a day, not too much. It's only 150 a month..."
"What kind of favors are you talking about? Wenli's father only has two brothers in his generation, so good things will definitely go to my sister-in-law first!"
I'll go to your goodness!
Chen Xiulian held her breath and rubbed the five dollars in her pocket angrily: Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, at least I bit a bite of her flesh!
Uncle Qin was also a tactless person. When he saw Chen Xiulian coming back, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows proudly, revealing his yellow teeth:
"I said that Lao Er and his wife dare not be so alone, otherwise the villagers will drown them with spit..."
If it were any other time, Chen Xiulian would have agreed long ago, but now she just had a gloomy face: "Lingling, help me up..."
Uncle Qin then noticed the old woman's expression and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? The second son's wife said something about you. I'll go find her!"
He said that but his butt didn't move at all.
Chen Xiulian curled her lips and said, "I've been standing for a whole day, my legs are numb and my waist hurts!"
"Hey, I thought it was a big deal. Can't it be fine if you just take it easy? Lingling, help your baby get on the kang!"
The thin Lingling held her big fat breasts, and her face suddenly became more bitter.
…
The next day, Uncle Qin was very active. After two minutes, he asked, "Why aren't you going yet?"
"Hurry up, hurry up, why don't you go?" Chen Xiulian collapsed on the kang and didn't want to move.
"How can a man go into the kitchen? I saw Jianlin's wife just went there, you should hurry up too!"
"No, I won't go!" Chen Xiulian simply kicked her legs and lay down completely.
This month is equivalent to taking her life. Is her life worth only 150? When I thought about it this way, it suddenly became clear to me, so I just changed my lying position and became more comfortable.
"You, why are you like this? You complain that people don't look for you, and you're still not happy when they do. A few days ago, you were telling everyone that the second brother's family would rather have outsiders than you, and now you're not going. What's the matter?" Uncle Qin looked like he was asking, "Why are you so difficult to please!"
"It's not me who is being talked about everywhere. Besides, no matter what people say, I'm not destined to work hard to earn this kind of money!" She has enjoyed happiness for half her life, why should she suffer this pain when she is old!
Uncle Qin couldn't do anything about her, so he angrily waved his hands and turned away.
The yard of Lao Qin's house was bustling with activity.
A few old ladies were cutting pumpkins with the sound of "clang clang clang" and chatting animatedly.
When Hu Yufeng came out, someone asked, "It's almost twelve o'clock, why hasn't your sister-in-law come yet?"
Hu Yufeng put pumpkins on the empty plate and smiled, "I don't know. I reminded her several times yesterday afternoon that it was 10 o'clock. Maybe she misheard."
Everyone looked at each other: The two houses are only so close to each other, could it be that they couldn't see it if they had heard it wrong?
"Maybe she's tired. Yesterday, my mother-in-law and I were the only ones doing this. I'm sure she must be very tired..."
Everyone looked at the busy old lady: She is not as old as the old lady, so how tired can she be as tired as the old lady?
"It's okay, she's my sister-in-law, she can come at any time, so there's no need to..."
Hu Yufeng hesitated to speak, turned around with the iron plate in hand,
Everyone: She must have wanted to prevent that family from saying in the village that she would rather find someone else than her. Ask yourself, if this were your own business, would you be willing to hire someone who cuts corners?
Ugh~~~ You are so shameless, and you keep saying everywhere that people don't want you. Who would dare to want someone like you?
Thinking of this, looking at Hu Yufeng's back again, I actually saw a bit of desolation.
"Oh, no wonder my mother-in-law always complains that the people who hate you the most are the ones close to you."
"That's right!"
"It's not easy for Yufeng either!"
…
Hu Yufeng's life is really not easy. She makes pumpkin during the day and bean paste at night.
If you want to turn pumpkin into pumpkin powder, you need to cut it, steam it, air-dry it, bake it, and grind it. You can't miss any step.
The group of invited old ladies couldn't control the timing, so she could only split herself into two and run, and her already thin legs almost became thinner.
But I was very happy in my heart.
Chen Xiulian always likes to speak in this way. She specially learned it today, and it really works. She couldn't help but reflect on herself, she was really no match for others in this regard, things that could be solved with just a few words, she always made a big fuss about it.
No, I must correct it later.
After steaming and roasting for 15 consecutive days, the villagers ate all the leftovers except for some for their own consumption. The labor cost was 300 yuan, and in return I got eight bags of pumpkin powder.
It was so difficult to obtain that when Hu Yufeng looked at the yellow powder, her eyes lit up as if she were looking at gold.
Qin Wenli bought a lot of sturdy plastic bags specially for this purpose.
Eight bags may seem like a lot, but they are actually unbearable to use. Fortunately, the weather is getting colder and the pumpkins can still be preserved. The family consumes the fresh ones first, and then she and the old lady will make some more when they buy some.
Compared to pumpkin, making red bean paste doesn’t save much effort.
First soak the beans, and when they become plump, you can cook them. Cook until it is about to bloom, take it out and let it cool, then mash it into a paste. Put the bean paste in a bowl, add milk, cooking oil and sugar, mix well, then put it in a pan and stir-fry over low heat.
And because the bean paste cannot be stored for a long time, it can only be made fresh every day. Hu Yufeng felt her arms had become stronger from swinging the shovel. To be honest, if she hit Qin Shengtian with the shovel now, he would definitely break.
Qin Shengtian:? !
Qin Shengtian was very smart. He ate quietly and worked at a trot, for fear of making the tiger circling around the stove angry!
