MTL - The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family-Chapter 525 Boil sugar (two in one
When Mrs. Qi entered the room, Yan Yu had already coaxed Mrs. Qi into a smile.
"...you can tell your two older sisters what you want to do, they will win all the small flowers, if you want to give money, they will spend it by themselves..."
Mrs. Qi was talking, when she heard familiar footsteps, she smiled at the figure: "Master is back."
"Oh! Mom!" Mrs. Qi replied.
"Grandma Qi, Aunt Qi, I'm going home." She hasn't finished her homework for today, woo woo woo! !
"Go back, if your mother starts it, send someone to shout." Mrs. Qi instructed.
Yan Yu nodded again and again, winking at the two older sisters of the Qi family.
The two sisters came out with her, and they were stuffed with two strings of copper plates, which were heavy in their hands.
"Grandma Qi has already spoken, the two elder sisters just keep going, hee hee, I heard that the New Year in Yongning City is very lively, every year at this time, there are all kinds of things on the street, and you can't get anything if you go there empty-handed, shouting My eldest sister, let's go shopping one day." Yan Yu issued an invitation.
The two sisters subconsciously looked towards the room behind them.
Yan Yu stomped her feet: "Oh, my sisters are too honest. Didn't Grandma Qi say that when we enter the city, we should learn how the people in this city live. If you don't go out and stay at home, then It's better to live in our village, how interesting it is to go up the mountain and down the river..."
The two sisters of the Qi family said in their hearts that it is you, Xiaoer, who like to go up mountains and down rivers.
"I have a plan." Yan Yu's spirit is not to go empty... No! The principle of spending without delaying earning money is thoughtful about the first New Year spent in Yongning City.
"Let's take a good stroll first, take a look around all the lively places in this city, come back to see if there is any small business we can do, and make a small profit during the Chinese New Year!" Yan Yu was full of confidence Said.
When Cheng Lezhou mentioned red paper just now, she thought of Spring Festival couplets.
There must be a lot of people in the academy who wrote and sold it.
Yan Yu is different. She not only wants to write Spring Festival couplets, but also has some ideas about window grilles.
Taught in elementary school handicraft class, she can't do difficult things, the simplest word '囍' is no problem.
Fold the red paper, draw the line, and then cut it without thinking.
Of course, this is not an appropriate scene for Chinese New Year.
But the principles are similar.
The two elder sisters of the Qi family and her elder sister have both learned how to draw flowers with Mrs. Tian. Find a few simple, easy-to-draw and easy-to-cut patterns, and each of them can work together with a pair of scissors.
Can't make much money, but as a little girl's pocket money, I have a lot of money.
"Sisters, how do you draw well?" Yan Yu asked.
"Everything is common." The eldest girl of the Qi family asked, "We have pieces of cloth, would Xiao Er want to see it?"
"Let's go and have a look." Yan Yu said.
Mrs. Tian also has a similar draft of the pattern, which Yan Yu has seen before. The pattern is more complicated and has a sense of design. The patterns in the hands of the two sisters of the Qi family are all things that they can complete, and they nod to Mrs. Qi. When the two sisters embroidered into one piece, they kept one piece.
The pieces of cloth vary from old to new, and the patterns on them range from easy to difficult.
Yan Yu sighed while flipping through the pages.
Look how hard it is to learn a trade.
This is the testimony of the sisters of the Qi family who have studied art since they were young.
So she wanted to give the leggings to the godfather, and it was right to decisively place an order for the sisters of the Qi family.
She can dance with the iron rod, and she can do whatever she wants, but this little embroidery needle is hard for her to die!
"There are magpies, there are fish, and there are flowers... Enough is enough, there are these."
…
When Yan Yu returned home, she went to find her elder sister.
"Eldest sister, wait for Brother Cheng to come back later, you can ask him for me, is there any other color paper besides red paper?"
Yan Yu happily showed her a piece of cut-out blessing: "The sisters of the Qi family are so skillful, they cut the paper quickly, I wrote the blessing for them, and it was cut out Haha, it’s exactly the same as what I wrote, this is the first one, the simplest, and there is a round blessing on the back, when I left, the sisters of the Qi family were thinking about adding a few more flowers..."
She just talked about her own thoughts, but she didn't expect the two sisters of the Qi family to have such strong execution ability.
"Do you want another color?" Yan Qianchu was puzzled.
"Yeah, red alone is too monotonous, it's better to mix it with other colors, the colorful ones will look better." The colors are so conspicuous, you can see them from a long distance.
It was just an idea before, but now Yan Yu has decided that the small stall for the Chinese New Year will sell Spring Festival couplets and window grilles.
"Sister, let's go to the street tomorrow, find a suitable place, and set up a stall before the year!"
"What about the business in the store?" Yan Qianchu subconsciously asked.
"It doesn't matter." Yan Yu counted with her fingers: "It's only a few days before the Chinese New Year. Well, it's fine to start from the 25th. It doesn't take long every day. Anyway, we can't prepare much. When we are busy, let's look at the stalls. Goods, take turns shopping on the street when you are not busy... We have enough people."
"Setting up a stall? Our maltose has not been seen yet. I have so much confidence in your father. I haven't seen it yet, so I researched and set up a stall?" Yan Lao Er put the medicine box in his hand on the counter, and then turned back Go to the bullock cart to move other objects.
"Father! Where's Mrs. An Xiao? Why do you only have things?" Yan Yu also went out to help.
"I met an old man who fell down on the road. Dr. An felt the bones. Fortunately, he didn't break it. But to be on the safe side, it's better to take some medicines. No, I went back to prescribe medicines. I'll think about it. Pull the guy who will eat for him first, and I will go back to pick him up later, otherwise this day will be delayed for a day, when will we be able to live in our house." Yan Laoer said.
Dr. An Xiao promised to come here early, and he didn't break his promise. It's just that it's too cold this year, there are many sick people, and the medical center is full of people. As long as he is there, he has no time to relax, and he often visits at night. thing.
"Father wants to discuss with you, can you spare a space for Dr. An in the shop in front of you, so that he can stay at our house during this time and not be idle, to sit for a consultation or something."
Yan's second child was kind, they invited Dr. An Xiao, and they didn't let him do anything, just waiting for his wife to give birth? It's unreasonable to think about it.
Yan Yu can understand her father's thoughts very well.
"Why not, I'll pack it up right away." There is nothing in front of it, and there is still a lot of space left by putting it back together.
"It's just this place, Dad, you can see it. I'll move the counter and replace it with tables, chairs and benches when I come back. I'll also clear out the shelves behind and let Dr. An put the things you can use. When you go to pick up people, you need to Don't ask Fang, is it convenient to bring some medicinal materials?" Yan Yu took a look around and got an idea.
As for moving around, this is not a problem.
Yan Laoer slapped his hands, his face was full of approval: "It's not bad, I didn't think of it, and the medicine your mother might use is also brought here, so as to save you from worrying when you get it... Uh, just in case, the last Better not use it."
"Then dad, let's act now!" Yan Yu walked out while talking: "Hurry up, let's go together, I just want to buy ink sticks, the ones in the south of the city are cheap, let's go together, after buying ink sticks Go pick someone up, and I can give you a hand."
Yan Lao Er nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, you go with Dad, no matter how many things you have, hey, hey! Our little one has strength..."
Accidentally let out the words in my heart.
…
In the evening, Mr. and Mrs. Yan will come back together with Dr. An, just like moving house.
Li Xuemei stood in the yard, watching Yan Lao Er directing the hired ox cart into the yard to unload things.
I don’t even have enough ox carts at home, so I even hired one. How much does it cost...
Each square wooden box is neatly stacked.
You can see the writing on it from a distance.
Is this because all the medicine shelves for other people have been moved here? !
Li Xuemei is really convinced!
She didn't take care of it at a glance, how can these two be so troublesome!
Inviting Dr. An Xiao to live at home is enough to make a big fuss, and now I have set up a place for him to sit in the clinic, and even the medicine is prepared...
Listen to what the two men said.
We also need to hang a sign outside the shop, so as not to let people know that Dr. An is here for consultation...
The discussion between the father and father was in full swing.
Idea after idea.
Endless!
Those who didn’t know thought that their Yan’s shop was going to be changed into a Yan’s medical center...
Li Xuemei couldn't take it anymore, turned around and went back to the room.
Tired, she is a pregnant woman who is about to give birth and needs a comfortable and comfortable environment.
As for the two of you, do whatever you like.
…
Invited Dr. An to his home, and Yan's second son came together the next day, feeling refreshed!
Yan Yu: "Dad! You look very different today, um, the dark circles under your eyes are lighter, and you look more energetic!"
"Don't tell me, there is a doctor living in the house, and I feel quite safe. Your father hasn't slept better than last night in a while." Yan Laoer said in a low voice.
"I regret it! Why didn't you invite Dr. An earlier." He slapped his thigh hard, and sighed, "It's too small!"
Yan Yu: Pfft!
Choked out a mouthful of soy milk.
Maomao jumped away before she sprayed out, then tilted her head and stared at her with a pair of amber cat eyes.
"Cough...cough cough..." Yan Yu quickly found a rag to wipe the kang, but fortunately she reacted quickly and turned her head in time, otherwise the breakfast on the kang table would be over.
"Dad, my dear father, my dear father! Don't say such ridiculous things next time when we can have dinner, you will scare the cat."
Yan Lao Er waved at Mao Mao, with a very kind smile on his face: "Maomao, come here and pet me, pet the hair, don't be scared..."
Li Xuemei silently put down the spoon, and drew circles on her stomach with her hands.
This dude!
Early in the morning, my intestines are going to be knotted with laughter...
Maomao stared at Yan Yu for a while, and found that there was no sign of her spraying outside again. She switched sides, lay down next to Li Xuemei again, and stuck her tail on Li Xuemei's body, only occasionally leaving it a little, and then sticking it again.
As for Yan's second son, he was completely ignored.
Yan's second son turned his head to look at Gouzhu, who was grinning and haha on the ground.
"Hold on."
He came over as soon as he beckoned, looked at him and then at Yan Yu.
"Closer." Yan Er Er couldn't reach the dog's head.
"Gou Zhu walks around on duty at night before he gets off work, waiting for me to wash its paws." Yan Yu explained, and greeted: "Go ahead and give my dad a pat."
Gou Zhu happily wagged his tail and stepped forward, moved the dog's head closer, raised his chin, and squinted the dog's eyes.
Yan's second son finally got one of the pets in the family, and he was very satisfied.
"Good boy, I'll wash your paws later." Ordinary domestic pets are rewarded with food, but his family's would definitely not work, so he had to find another way to express his full heart.
Still living but very ungrateful.
With a groan of grievance, he put the dog's head back, and looked at Yan Yu eagerly.
"Hee hee! I don't want you if you stay alive, Dad, hurry up and see if the malt is growing well. If it's done, cook sugar quickly. Before the 25th, we will have everything ready, and we will set up a stall to sell it when the day comes." Yan Yuyan There was light in her eyes, it was up to her father whether the wheat harvested by her family could turn over and make a fortune.
Yan’s second child: …
"Okay! I'll make it after dinner."
Those who work must work.
Another day when I was disgusted by cats and not comforted by dogs.
Yan's second child went out of the house, and Yan Yu said, "Mom, do you feel any better today?"
Li Xuemei shook her head.
"Mom, don't be nervous, we are fully prepared." Don't be like her father, who is unreasonably nervous, you can see it from the face.
Li Xuemei hummed.
"Mom, are you full? I'll clean up when I'm full?" Yan Yu asked.
Li Xuemei nodded and said, "I've finished eating, let's take it all down."
Yan Yu cleaned up quickly.
Li Xuemei said in her heart that my daughter, if you can't walk smoothly, I will definitely feel more secure in my heart.
She exhaled and looked down at her belly.
Er Bao, why are you so reckless? Don't want to come out yet? !
…
Yan's second son saw that the malt had grown to a good length, so he began to prepare pots, pans, and other things.
The battle was set up, and the sugar began to boil.
First wash the malt clean, and then control the water. When the water here is almost controlled, start chopping on the cutting board.
This end is chopped, and the other end is almost drained, and then repeat the previous steps.
In short, no malt can leave Yan Lao Er's cutting board completely.
When Yan's second son was chopping malt, Yan Yu had already washed the claws of Gou Zhu, and came to help her father.
She knew the steps of making maltose by heart, but it was the first time she saw it with her own eyes.
Her father is very confident. He said that the steps are simple, and he can understand at a glance. He is an old chef. Don't you understand this? !
That's called self-confidence!
Yan Yu also felt that her father could succeed once.
The glutinous rice was steamed in a pot, while Yan Yu watched the fire from the side.
Said it was her watching, but in fact, it was Rongmao who supervised it, and she was the one who put the firewood in it.
You are right, after several months of study and experience, Yan Yu has now learned how to make a fire.
It’s burning decently well.
Chopped malt and steamed glutinous rice were mixed together, Yan Laoer stirred vigorously, just stirred a few times, and reacted.
Turning his head and calling for his daughter.
"Xiao Er, come on, help dad mix it up."
"Okay!" Yan Yu trotted over, and when he got started, he was in a completely different posture from Yan's second child.
Yan Lao Er was tsk-tsk in his mouth, and his heart was sour.
Commanded: "It has to be mixed evenly. You don't need to use so much strength. Take it easy and use skillful strength. Yes, the combination of rigidity and softness is this strength!"
Yan Yu couldn't help complaining: "Father, why don't you practice martial arts here, and you still have a combination of rigidity and softness..."
Hahaha, catch up~ I got stuck again at 0:00~
What was Zhai Zhai busy yesterday? I took a small order and made a little money. I didn’t see the money, but it was really hard to push. I was in a hurry to finish it. Finally, it was all done at 4 o’clock in the middle of the night. I checked it a few times during the day and sent it out without any problems. ~
People live in this world, they have to bow their heads in various ways, especially bowing their heads to Party A who gave money, quack~o(*￣︶￣*)o
