Chapter 244 The first person to eat crabs!
Tong Xiayue took the other side dishes directly to the yard and cleaned them up with Xu Duoduo, preparing to cook the brine this morning. It will be well-seasoned by the afternoon, and it will be sold just in time before dinner.
Generally, workers eat in the factory at noon, and no one will go out to buy things with their own money, so they can only pin their hopes on the evening.
After Tong Xiayue and Xu Duoduo left the kitchen, Ji Jiashu frowned as he looked at the pig intestines in the basin!
My wife also does this business in Beijing, and now she finds such a small amount of food in front of her unbearable. How does she, a girl, do it?
Thinking back to when she was in Yangliu Village, she handled all the food herself at first. The conditions were not as good as they are now. I still remember that she had to wash her hands many times after handling the pig intestines.
She has always been a clean person, and she always has a hint of fragrance on her body, but now she has to smell because of handling these things every day...
Now I know that she has lived in the past fifty years. I didn't expect that someone with such good living conditions could endure such hardships...
The family can have such good conditions now, which is really earned by her hard work step by step. Ji Jiashu feels sorry for her, but also blames himself for not giving enough for this family, and always feels that he owes her too much.
He cleaned the pig intestines according to the method that Tong Xiayue taught him in Yangliu Village, and then started to process the duck.
There were a lot of hairs on the duck wings that needed to be cleaned up bit by bit. The factory couldn't clean every one of them. This was really a big project.
Fortunately, Ji Jiashu was very efficient and cleaned all the ingredients in more than two hours.
When Tong Xiayue came over, she looked at the three basins of clean ingredients and smiled, "Hubby, you've worked hard!"
After that, she kissed him on the face!
Ji Jiashu smiled and said, "Leave these things to me in the future. You are a girl, you should be fragrant."
Tong Xiayue smiled and said, "Great! I couldn't ask for more!"
After all the ingredients were prepared, she started to make brine. This was the most time-consuming, so she had to do it first, so that the soaking time would be enough!
When Jiang Jie came over this morning, he also brought the clean quilt that was not used at home before. Now he and Xuan Duoduo wrapped all the wooden barrels that had been prepared in advance.
There are no insulation barrels in this era, but this primitive insulation method is also effective.
Mrs. Dong heard the noise after taking care of the children in the morning. She has designed several clothes recently, but seeing that Tong Xiayue has been busy with the stall these two days, she didn't show them to her. She thought she would wait until she was done with her work.
Mrs. Dong rode her tricycle over and parked at the gate of the yard.
As soon as she entered the gate, she smelled the fragrance. Tong Xiayue had just cooked the halogen in the kitchen, but the smell was already coming out.
Seeing Xu Duoduo and Jiang Jie busying around, Mrs. Dong smiled and said, "You two are really capable! This is really well wrapped!"
Xu Duoduo smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go back with you to get the car, and put the bucket on it now."
Mrs. Dong pointed to the door and said, "Look, isn't it riding over for you?"
Xu Duoduo and Jiang Jie were worried that Tong Xiayue couldn't handle it alone, so they prepared to go to the kitchen to help.
Before they got to the kitchen, they saw her coming out...
Xu Duoduo: "Is it done?"
Tong Xiayue: "Yes, the brine is ready, and I'll make the fried sauce after dinner, otherwise it won't taste good if it's left for a long time."
I thought it would be busy all day, but I didn't expect that everything was almost arranged in one morning. It wasn't like this in Beijing before. The amount there was too much, and it was busy every day!
Seeing that Tong Xiayue was free at this moment, Mrs. Dong took out the design drawings she had just brought and said, "Sister, how do you think of them?"
Tong Xiayue took the drawings and looked at them: "Mrs. Dong, are you so professional?"
She didn't expect that Mrs. Dong could draw drawings. Although she wasn't as professional as those designers in the world, the basic information such as the style of clothes and the choice of fabrics were clear at a glance!
Mrs. Dong showed Tong Xiayue clothes suitable for Beijing to wear in spring. She was really thoughtful. They didn't go back until after the Chinese New Year. If they designed according to the current temperature, they would definitely not be able to use them after they went back.
Going back in mid-to-late February, plus finding a factory to make clothes, it would definitely take a lot of time. With such a delay, it would definitely be spring!
Tong Xiayue: "Sister-in-law, you are so thoughtful! It's just right to go back and prepare spring clothes directly! It doesn't have to be as troublesome as winter clothes, and the price can be controlled at the beginning!"
Tong Xiayue gave Sister Dong a thumbs up!
In recent years, I have become accustomed to making clothes. I have to be forward-thinking and can't follow the temperature at the time. Otherwise, when the clothes are made, they will soon be unwearable. The seasons change quickly, and everyone wants to spend money to buy the most practical clothes.
Tong Xiayue looked at the design drawings in her hand and said excitedly: "Sister-in-law, these clothes are so beautiful! Let's do it!"
Most of the styles designed by Sister Dong this time are spring shirts, some with light-colored florals, some solid colors, some long straight pants, and some jeans!
When Tong Xiayue turned to the last picture, she was surprised: "Jeans?!"
Mrs. Dong looked at Tong Xiayue in disbelief: "You know jeans?"
Tong Xiayue smiled and said: "Yeah, I've heard of it before."
Denim fabrics have just become popular recently and have not been launched on the market. Mrs. Dong often visits fabric stores, so she discovered it. People are not very accepting of such fabrics at the moment. They think it is rough and uncomfortable to wear. The color is not common in people's daily life. The recognition and acceptance are not high at present. But
Tong Xiayue actually knows this kind of fabric?
Mrs. Dong said worriedly: "Other styles are fine, but I'm not sure about this fabric now. The acceptance in the market may not be high now..."
"No problem! This pair of jeans must be made! It will definitely sell well!"
Mrs. Dong was interrupted by Tong Xiayue before she finished speaking!
Tong Xiayue was so excited!
She was the first to try out jeans, which weren't popular in Guangzhou yet!
She knew how popular jeans would be in the future, and she literally set off a fashion trend!
Mrs. Dong didn't expect that such an adventurous idea of hers would be supported by her. In fact, she wanted to try this kind of fabric a long time ago, but after all, she was supplying retailers like Fat Sister, and the acceptance in Guangzhou was definitely not high, so this plan has been shelved.
Mrs. Dong: "You are just starting out. Is it risky to make something that is not popular yet?"
Tong Xiayue smiled and said, "Mrs. Dong, believe me, everyone will like it, just do it with confidence."
Before, I just thought that this girl was very kind, but now it seems that I admire this girl who dares to do and dare to break through!
Mrs. Dong: "Okay, then I will prepare to make samples recently and show them to you."
Tong Xiayue: "Okay!"
At this moment, Tong Xiayue felt that her blood was boiling. She liked this kind of lifestyle, with goals, motivation, and direction!
Xu Duoduo and Jiang Jie also took Mrs. Dong's design drawings, looked at the styles of the clothes, and praised: "I have never seen people wearing this in Beijing. Such clothes are so beautiful! It should be worn like this!"
Jiang Jie smiled and said: "I have seen it twice, but they were all rich people. They said that their family came to Guangzhou and bought it from here. You don't know, it's just a piece of clothing, but it's so proud!"
Tong Xiayue smiled and said: "Don't worry, wait until we go back and let the girls wear beautiful clothes!"
