Radishes are hardy to store, so in the autumn, Hunzi bought a lot of radishes to make pickles.
Pickled radish has a short production cycle, is not expensive, and sells better.
But this is a secret recipe after all, and it is not convenient to talk about it on the phone. At this time, the calls are all monitored.
As for writing a letter? It would take too long. The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and I didn’t know if Qi Mengmeng would receive the letter.
Yu Xiaoman and Hunzi hesitated for a long time and could not make up their minds.
"How about I go to the capital?" the gangster suddenly spoke.
Yu Xiaoman was shocked: "Why do we have to go to the capital?"
"I heard that there is a very famous pickle factory in Beijing. Foreigners love their pickles. Our pickles seem to sell well, but it's all hard work and we earn our money through hard work."
"I want to go to the capital and buy some pickles. Our pickles taste great, so why can't they sell for a good price?"
A few days ago, when Hunzi went to deliver pickled vegetables, he accidentally heard Brother Qin talking to others, asking them to be more polite to Hunzi, because there were few supplies recently, and they were counting on the pickled vegetables that Hunzi delivered to make money.
At that time, Brother Qin said a number, which was twice the money that the gangster earned.
Hunzi knew that Brother Qin and his men had a business, so they should make money. However, the pickled vegetables were made by him and Yu Xiaoman with great effort, so why did they only make so little money?
He couldn't figure it out, but he didn't want to fall out with Brother Qin for the time being, so he thought about going to the capital to take a look.
Yu Xiaoman's ancestors were from Beijing, but that was several generations ago. Yu Xiaoman had never been to Beijing. She only knew what Beijing was like from her ancestors' notes.
As a descendant of an imperial chef, how could I not have expectations for the capital? It’s just that given the current situation, it’s not convenient to go out.
Yu Xiaoman was a little worried about Hunzi, fearing that he would be cheated when he went to Beijing.
"Even if the commander is not in the capital, my sister-in-law is still there. Besides, there are other comrades in the capital. I will definitely be fine." The gangster was very open-minded.
"Write down the secret recipe and I'll hide it. When we get to the capital, I'll give it to my aunt."
Yu Xiaoman thought about it, nodded, and told Hunzi: "Don't ask for money for this recipe. We are getting a great deal living in this house."
The gangster smiled and said that he would guarantee to complete the task.
Yu Xiaoman rolled his eyes at him.
"There are a lot of things in Beijing. I'll buy some milk powder and malted milk and bring it back. Not only Xiaozhu can drink it, but you should drink some too. Since you gave birth to Xiaozhu, your health has not been as good as before."
The smile on the gangster's face disappeared. This was also one of the main reasons why he insisted on going to the capital. He wanted to see the situation of the black market in the capital.
Now that his family is short of money, he occasionally sells some things on the black market, but the money he earns is better than what he earns from working.
Originally, he was just guarding the gate at the Public Security Bureau. He thought about quitting the job, but as soon as he mentioned it, Yu Xiaoman started crying, saying that she had implicated him, which made the gangster dare not say anything more.
The gangster wanted to check out the black market in Beijing. If he could make money there, he thought he could also make money here.
The work at the Public Security Bureau was good, but he could only hide at the gate and watch the police officers coming in and out. He felt uncomfortable.
If he could earn more money by changing jobs, he wanted to sell his job at the Public Security Bureau.
But I can’t tell Yu Xiaoman about this for the time being. If I tell him, Yu Xiaoman will definitely be anxious.
Yu Xiaoman takes her work very seriously, and she also plans to let her children take over the two jobs at home in the future.
The gangster went to the capital with the idea of seeing the world.
He did not tell Qi Huilan before he came. After getting off the train, he went to Qi Mengmeng's house first as requested by Yu Xiaoman, and prepared to give Qi Huilan the pickled vegetable recipe he brought with him.
Zhang Meiling was playing with her two children in the yard when she heard a knock on the door. Then she saw the gangster walking in with a big bag.
"Who are you looking for?" Zhang Meiling didn't recognize the gangster at first.
"Auntie Ling, I'm Hunzi. We met in the provincial capital." Hunzi smiled, his teeth were whiter than his face.
Zhang Meiling looked carefully and found it was true. She shouted Qi Huilan towards the kitchen and went forward to take the bag from the gangster.
The rascal hid for a moment with his bag in his hand: "Auntie Ling, the outside of my bag is dirty, please don't dirty your clothes."
An An and Kang Kang looked at Hun Zi curiously. They had never seen Hun Zi before.
Qi Huilan had already walked out of the kitchen when she heard the noise. She was very happy to see the gangster: "You're here? Come in and sit down. Have you eaten? I'll make you a bowl of noodles."
Hunzi quickly said, "Aunt Qi, I've eaten it, I've eaten it, Xiaoman has researched a new recipe, I'll bring it to you."
Qi Huilan pulled him into the house and said, "There's no rush for Fangzi. We're already at the doorstep, and I can still let you go out. There are few people at home, and we have a house, so you can stay at home."
Hunzi knew that Gu Guizhi was out, and that Qi Huilan and Qi Mengmeng were now at home with their two children. He had never thought of living at home for fear of causing gossip.
Qi Huilan brought the gangster into the house and said only two words to him before she heard his stomach growling. She looked at him with disapproval.
"Look, you're so polite to come to my house. I'll go cook noodles for you."
Qi Huilan did not allow the gangster to refuse and turned to go to the kitchen.
Qi Mengmeng saw that Hunzi was a little uneasy, so she comforted him: "Even if Guizhi is not at home, you can still come. If you don't stay, you will treat us as outsiders."
The bastard stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm not treating you as outsiders, I'm just worried..."
He was worried about affecting the reputation of Qi Mengmeng and Qi Huilan.
"What's the big deal? I'll ask my husband to come and live with us." Zhang Meiling said from the side.
"That's great. We've got a deal, Aunt Ling. You and uncle have to stay until after the New Year." Qi Mengmeng said with a smile, not allowing Zhang Meiling to regret it.
Yesterday, Qi Huilan told Zhang Meiling that it would be more lively if the two of them could come here together to celebrate the New Year.
Zhang Meiling felt that it would not be a good idea for her to live here since they already had a house.
I didn't expect that Zhang Meiling would take the initiative to say that she wanted to stay here today.
"Okay, I'll tell your uncle when I go back today." Zhang Meiling patted Qi Mengmeng's hand.
Hunzi was relieved when he heard that Zhang Meiling and Professor Jiang were also coming to live there.
"Let's stop talking for now. Let the gangster eat the noodles first. If you have anything to say, talk after you finish eating." Qi Huilan came in with a big bowl full of noodles with two eggs on top.
"Aunt Qi, this is too much." The gangster quickly took it.
"I cooked a lot, and there's still some in the pot. When you've finished eating, I'll serve you more." Qi Huilan handed the chopsticks in her hand to Hunzi, asking him to eat while it's hot.
The hunzi looked at An An and Kang Kang and asked them, "An An, Kang Kang, do you want to eat something?"
The two men shook their heads at the same time. They were not familiar with the gangster.
"Don't worry about them. If they want to eat, I'll go serve them more." Qi Huilan urged.
