MTL - Fight the Giants-Chapter 78
Chapter 78
Huo Xi also looked at the pile of things Yang bought.
Yang said: "You don't know how good those things that go with wine and tea are for sale. After listening to the time book in the teahouse, the plates on the table were changed seven or eight times. The stacks are as high as a child's arm. A dish of broad beans sells for five or six yuan. A small dish of cakes costs only two or three yuan, and it costs more than ten yuan. Tsk tsk."
The broad beans are only two or three coins a catty, how many dishes can they hold!
There is also the cake ball, which is no longer as wide as two fingers, and sells for three or four yuan a piece. God. City people are really rich.
"Mom, do you buy sugar to make cakes?" Her mother has lit up this skill these days?
Yang sneered: "I just bought two catties of sugar and came back to try. Didn't we use a lot of rice to soak those silk cloths before? You don't like to eat the rice that was soaked and steamed into rice. There is a lot left. Mother It dried up, and there was a big bag."
"Mother originally wanted to make fried rice, soak it and eat it in the future, and it will also satisfy my hunger. But I saw someone selling that kind of rice crisp in a tea shop, and it is easy to sell. I just want to buy some sugar and try it out."
Rice Crisp? Huo Xi knows.
Expose the rice to the sun, first stir-fry to make it swell, then boil the sugar water, put the rice flower in the sugar water, stir to make it into a ball, then take it out of the pan, press it in a container, let it cool and cut it into pieces, and it is ready.
She understands, but most of the time she is the type who can do it once she sees it.
Didn't light up the skill of making cakes either.
Frowning, she said to Yang: "Mother, I do know the steps", and explained the process again.
"Mother, try it first, it's okay if you can't do it. When the time comes, turn it into rice crackers, and you can also give it to my uncle and me as a snack."
Her family can afford that little rice now, so she doesn't feel bad about it.
Mr. Yang didn't expect that Huo Xi knew how to do it, so she nodded happily: "Okay, that mother will try it tomorrow. If it doesn't look good, I'll save it for you and Fu'er."
Yang Fu sucked shamefully. That's great, his sister is now willing to give him food as a snack.
Huo Xi told Yang again that they would go north to Huai'an the next day when they were going to load food tomorrow.
"Leave the day after tomorrow?"
Mr. Yang was stunned for a moment, and quickly got up: "The mother will pack your things now." She put Huo Nian into Huo Xi's hands, pulled Yang Fu and went to pack her things.
While tidying up, he told Huo Xi and Yang Fu, nagging worriedly.
Huo Xi and Yang Fu nodded in response, reassuring her.
Soon packed the two big baskets and two big bags.
"Mother bought a lot of bamboo tubes. There are three taels, half a catty, and one catty for you to pack wine. Chickens and ducks have brought ten for you each. This time you will not go out for a long time, and everyone should bring food. Bring more I'm afraid you won't be able to sell it, and the boat will be heavy."
Huo Xi nodded.
"Snacks to accompany the wine, my mother fried some beans, broad beans, peas, and soybeans. I'll pack a bag for each of you, enough for you to sell..."
"In the past two days, my mother has collected some shrimps and crabs in the fish market street, small fish. The little fish mother fried it and sealed it in a jar. You can take it with you. There are shrimps and crabs on the boat, so I won't bring them to you... "
"Mother will make some dry food for you in the evening. In case you are inconvenient to cook, there is still dry food to eat, so you don't have to be hungry."
After a long explanation, I got into the kitchen and worked until midnight before I took a rest.
The next day, Yang got up early again and called Huo Xi and Yang Fu up.
"Get up quickly, don't delay today's business. Mother will rent a scooter later to bring our cabin back. I don't know if your father dismantled it yesterday."
After finishing speaking, he covered his heart and yelled: "Oh, our cabin is so well covered, it's only been a while, and it will be dismantled. It will cost money to put it back together. And those storage racks. Ouch. Fishing at the end of the year If the tax cannot be deducted, I will go to the Hepo Office to ask for an explanation."
Huo Xi and Yang Fu were called up, washed and dressed, each carrying a pannier, and carried several baskets of clean water with them.
Yang carried Huo Nian, who was sleeping soundly, on his back, and the group headed to the ferry.
I rented two carts on the road, and pushed them to find my own boat.
From a distance, I saw Huo Erhuai had parked the boat at the ferry. Seeing that her ship left a bare cabin at the bow, Yang's heart ached again. Ouch, ouch.
"Damn."
"His father. Oops, our cabin." Two cabins were demolished, and I felt bald all of a sudden, no matter how I looked at it, I was not used to it.
Huo Xi and Yang Fu stared blankly for a long time.
"Don't be sad, we'll put it on when we get back." Huo Erhuai comforted her.
"It doesn't cost money to install it!" Yang gave him a blank look. Looking at his own boat again, his heart still hurts and it's a pity.
Huo Erhuai didn't know how she felt. But can you make irresponsible remarks on the official decision? He only stroked and stroked Huo Nian, who was still sleeping soundly on Yang's back with his head tilted.
This kid. I haven't seen him for several days, Huo Erhuai misses him very much.
"Eat an egg yolk every day for Nian'er, look around the street to see if there is any fruit, and get some fruit puree for Nian'er to eat."
"I know. As long as you feel sorry for me, how can I lose our food?" Yang gave him a blank look.
After speaking, greet him, and install the removed panels of the two compartments on the cart.
"Oh, are you tearing down the cabin?" A voice came.
The whole family looked towards the sound.
Seeing Kan Er striding towards them, Huo Xi hurriedly explained to Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai.
The husband and wife greeted Kan Er, who was dressed in a luxurious manner, and thanked him and his young master for watching their fisherman's cheap food.
"The bald butter you make is delicious. Not only we love it, but my young master and wife also praised it."
Whoops, the guards of this wealthy family are so kind?
Huo Erhuai and Yang Shi were very pleasantly surprised, they felt timid, and hurriedly asked Huo Xi to get on the boat to get things.
Huo Xi took a basket and filled it with six cans of bald butter, and put two cans of each of the three types of shrimp in the basket.
Handed it to him: "Last time, your young master helped us promote the bald butter in the Imperial College, and agreed, I will give you less money. This time, half a catty is still three taels of silver a can, so there will be no price increase. It's cold , there are fewer crabs, and the price has gone up. A can of dried shrimp is one renminbi, and a can of grilled and choked shrimp is two renminbi. The total is nineteen taels."
Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai swallowed nervously when they heard this. Nineteen taels! Xi'er really dares to ask for it. Sanliang also said that the price will not increase.
Until Kan Er handed over the silver, Yang took it in his hands, trembling with excitement.
Kan Er saw a basket full of things, took it over, and was very happy: "Thank you very much. If you eat well, I will come to buy from you next time."
"Okay, we will keep it for your young master and wife." Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai thanked him straight away.
Kan Er nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to leave, he paused when he saw two carts full of them: "Are you going to transport these into the city?"
Seeing Mrs. Yang and the others nodding, they said, "Let me help you."
Mr. Yang and Huo Erhuai were both stunned. What a wonderful person this is!
The bald butter and shrimp are so expensive, don’t bargain at all, and help them push the cart?
In an instant, the inherent image of a wealthy family in the hearts of the husband and wife was shattered. It turns out that rich and noble people are so close.
Are you all so kind? good man.
Good morning everyone~
