with Fire

On the way home, Zhao Wenguang counted the money in his hand over and over again.

The total is 12 yuan.

Includes RMB 5.8 received in advance.

"Second brother, we also need to add 1 yuan 8 for cigarettes, 1 yuan for four pounds of eggs, 1 yuan 2 for cotton cloth, and 3 cents for candy. The total is 11 yuan 2."

"The state-owned restaurant paid me 5 yuan yesterday for the 50 kilograms of wild vegetables. The total sum is 16 yuan2!"

"16 yuan 2!"

Zhao Wenguang exclaimed, farmers don’t even earn that much in a month!

This is just the wild vegetables that the whole family dug for an hour yesterday!

"Brother, does this mean that two days' income is higher than the salary of a sugar factory worker?!"

These days, a job in a sugar factory is considered a rare and rare job.

"Of course! Second brother, believe it or not, you will earn more in the future!"

Of course Zhao Wenguang believed it. After all, they were going to deliver food again tonight.

Zhao Wenguang was quick-thinking and immediately thought of bigger prospects.

"Brother, can we go to more places to sell! To the glass factory, cigarette factory, Guangyang Street!"

"Second brother, don't worry about this. Let's take it step by step. Selling things personally now is still a bit risky."

Zhao Wenguang also calmed down after hearing this. Indeed, the individual economy has not been widely recognized at this time.

However, his face turned green and red, and it was obvious that he was thinking intensely about something.

Sure enough, among the whole family, the second brother is the fastest to embrace changes. It doesn't matter if there are policy risks. I have experience in my previous life, so I just need to keep a close eye on him.

After everyone returned home and listened to Zhao Wenguang's story, they no longer had any doubts.

As expected, everything needs to be endorsed by someone with good credibility.

When Zhao Wenmu said the same thing, everyone would doubt it; if Zhao Wenguang said it, everyone would believe it.

Wild vegetables can really make money!

And you can make a lot of money!

At present, the peach blossoms have been pollinated and the sweet potato seedlings have been raised. There is no important farm work. Everyone packed up their things and went up the mountain immediately.

Even the two little guys Zimeng and Ziting also followed.

Zimeng De went to elementary school in the autumn, and there were no kindergartens or daycares in the countryside at the moment.

Children can help pick wild vegetables, but rural children of this age have to help the family with farm work such as fertilizing, sowing seeds, and thinning seedlings.

If the little girl is a little girl, she can even help the family cook.

As usual, we went to Zhao Wenmu's house for dinner at noon, and Zhao Wenmu was the chef.

You have to seize every opportunity to prove that you have become reliable, right?

Zhao Jing wanted to help, but he smiled and pushed her back onto the stool.

What he cooked this time was shepherd's purse stuffed with meat and roasted vegetables with scallions and ash.

Huo Shao is a very favorite delicacy of people in Qi. Later, Weixian Huo Shao became famous and very popular.

It is also easy to make and easy to carry.

Wrap the filling in the dough, then gently roll it into a round cake shape, and place it on the "pancake" used to spread pancakes until cooked.

A gourd is a large flat pot with firewood placed underneath.

In the rural areas of Qilu, there has always been a traditional custom of "every family makes pancakes and every household bakes pancakes".

The spatula is so big that it can burn several hot pots at the same time.

Zhao Jing was asked to make the scallion oil before going out in the morning.

Different from the scallion oil in the south, this kind of scallion oil is made by chopping green onions in a small bowl, adding an appropriate amount of soybean oil, salt, and water, and then steaming them in a pot over high heat.

It is actually a mixture of steamed onions, oil, water and salt.

The original fragrance of green onions is retained to the greatest extent.

Just add scallion oil to the blanched gray vegetables, no need to add other seasonings.

The fragrance of green onions and the deliciousness of gray vegetables are perfectly blended.

Zhao Wenmu skillfully rolled out the pie, seared it on the fire, and even handled the gray vegetables in between. This calmness and skill made everyone stunned.

In general, when people bake the dough, one person is responsible for lighting the fire and turning the dough, while the other person is responsible for rolling out the dough and making the dough.

Otherwise, it will be easily burnt accidentally due to fire.

The only person present who could skillfully handle the entire process by herself was my sister-in-law Liu Xiumei.

Even Song Yun and Zhao Jing couldn't do it.

"Okay, little brother, since when did you become so powerful?"

Song Yun asked with a smile.

My sister-in-law also kept nodding.

"Second sister-in-law, I burned my mother's fire so many times when I was a child. I've already seen it."

This is true. Zhao Wenmu was not a fool when he was a child. When Liu Sufang spread pancakes and cooked them, he always liked to help light the fire.

Children all love to play with fire.

But the reason why he is so proficient is because the first job he did after leaving Pingyang County in his previous life was to set up a food stall and sell firewood.

Laohuoshao does not require everyone to eat together.

After Zhao Wenmu baked the fire, he placed it directly on the grate. He picked up two small radish heads and shook them with his left hand and right hand when they were hot. He also opened a small opening in the fire and blew air into it, so that the fire would cool down.

Faster.

After a while, he started eating.

Zhao Wenmu picked up a hot pot that was no longer hot and handed it to Zhao Jing with a smile:

"Sister, try it."

Although they already have children, their relationship is more like a brother-sister relationship, and Zhao Jing is even somewhat afraid of Zhao Wenmu because of his previous bad behavior.

Easing the relationship and building trust can only be done step by step. Zhao Wenmu still calls Zhao Jing "sister" as before.

He believed that sooner or later, there would be not only family affection but also love between them.

Zhao Jing could feel the changes in Zhao Wenmu. Although it was unreal and made her wonder if it was a dream, she didn't want to wake up.

Trust me one more time.

"Yeah, delicious."

Several brothers and sisters-in-law saw this and couldn't help but smile with joy.

"Little brother, you can't be stupid again in the future!"

"That's right, be nicer to Ah Jing from now on!"

"Well, uncle, be nice to your aunt!"

Even the little carrot head came to lecture. Zhao Jing was a little shy and hurriedly helped Zhao Wenmu say something nice.

"Eldest brother, elder sister-in-law, and younger brother are very good to me."

Zhao Wenmu stood up and patted his chest.

"Okay, uncle, don't worry, I will definitely be good to Ah Jing in the future!"

Everyone laughed, Liu Xiumei patted Zhao Wenmu on the shoulder and said:

"Little brother, A Jing is our sister. If you bully her again, be careful of your first uncle, your second uncle will beat you up!"

"Third uncle, beat you! Beat you!"

Yes, I was completely kicked out of my family.

Zhao Jing used to be the third among the four sisters. Even Zhao Xuehai threatened some time ago that he only has Zhao Jing as a daughter and not Zhao Wenmu as a son.

Liu Sumei even wiped her tears and said that she had harmed Zhao Jing.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Laughter came and went.

What a great day like this!
