He came and hurriedly took the rice and vegetables to the kitchen. In a short while, he prepared a delicious lunch: the staple food was white rice without beans, the main course was stewed meat with cabbage, plus a plate of fried bitter gourd with tomatoes.
When Tang Liren is not around, Tan Fenghui is the mistress of the house.
She first arranged for Bai Xingxing to deliver meals to the family in the hospital, and then discussed with Bai Lili, "In two days at most, people from my hometown will come, probably dozens of people... As for accommodation, we can all squeeze together and sleep on the floor in this yard, but we can't save money on food. Taotao taught us a lesson today, so we might as well make more trips while we can still get around in the next two days, at least to earn back the food money for the next few days."
Bai Lili nodded.
Bai Taotao pointed out: "I heard from the vendors that today is a day off for the city dwellers, so many people are out buying things, so business is not as good as usual. However, the day after tomorrow is Qingming Festival, so I think business will be good tomorrow as well."
Tan Fenghui nodded, "We eat mugwort cakes during the Qingming Festival. Why don't we buy some glutinous rice, mugwort, and peanuts and make them into mugwort cakes to sell?"
Bai Taotao shook her head. "That's too tiring, and we won't make much money. It would be better to wait until this afternoon and go to the market at the train station to pick up bargains and buy some live chickens, ducks, and geese. Also, buy some ginger and scallions. Keep the chickens, ducks, and geese in the yard overnight, and then sell them at the gate of the county party committee compound tomorrow. Raise the price by 30%, and give away a portion of ginger and scallions for every chicken, duck, or goose bought. They will definitely sell out easily..."
Everyone stared at Bai Taotao in shock.
Bai Taotao asked curiously: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Bai Zhenggan, "My dear, why didn't I know you were so smart before?"
Bai Taotao, "I'm hungry!" Then she stared at the dish on the table with an unhappy look on her face, "Is this all there is for two kilograms of meat? Why don't you cook chicken and fish?"
Bai Lili explained, "I saw that you were hungry and anxious, so I made some cabbage stew with meat. It takes time to make fish soup, and it takes time to stew chicken... Don't worry, Taotao, Third Sister will put the pot on the stove in a while, and I guarantee that you can have fish soup and stewed chicken for dinner."
Bai Taotao thought for a moment and said, "We have a big family, but there is no sign of two kilograms of meat. That's just one chicken. There are more than ten people in the family, so it's only enough for one bite per person..."
It's a bit disappointing.
Tan Fenghui arranged for her, "Don't be sad, Taotao. We will go to the market to buy chickens this afternoon, and then stew another chicken when we come back. We will make sure Taotao has enough to eat, okay?"
Bai Lili also said, "You can also stew some potatoes in it. Two chickens with four or five pounds of potatoes will definitely taste good!"
Bai Taotao's worry turned into joy. "Really? I can't even remember what stewed chicken with potatoes tastes like..."
Bai Zhenggan, Tan Fenghui and Bai Lili looked at each other and couldn't help thinking - Taotao is still a little silly and childish. Maybe she works so hard just to have meat.
Then they have to work hard too.
