As soon as he opened his eyes, the master of metaphysics became the vicious stepmother of four oil bottles Chapter 068 How could my husband not be greedy
Shen Qingqing did not directly say that she wanted to ask someone to roll noodles. After all, she did not know the character of Da Zhuang and her son very well. If she chose the wrong person, it would only add to the dispute.
Moreover, she is leaving tomorrow and there is no time to arrange many things, so it is better to discuss this matter with Aunt He first and let her decide how to deal with it.
After making up her mind, Shen Qingqing went to the shop opposite and borrowed a steelyard, and weighed the shrimps and snails brought by Da Zhuang's mother and son respectively. The shrimps weighed a little more than four kilograms, and the field snails weighed more than six kilograms.
Shen Qingqing gave them a round sum and paid fifty coppers. "The extra money will be used as labor expenses for delivery. You guys should stop catching shrimps and snails these days. I have to go on a long trip for something to do."
Aunt He is too busy here. If I need help later, I'll come to you, okay?"
The strong mother-in-law felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this. The day Shen Qingqing told her that she would pay a high price to collect shrimps and snails, she was so happy that she couldn't sleep all night, thinking that she could finally lead her child to live a good life.
In the end it was just empty joy.
But after thinking about it, I felt relieved. They were originally willing to help because they saw her as an orphan and a widowed mother. Being willing to help shows that they are kind, and there seems to be nothing wrong with being unwilling to help.
The only thing to blame is that I have no ability and cannot find a way to make money.
The strong woman nodded, "Okay, if you need someone to work again in the future, just come to me. I can do any rough work, heavy work, or any kind of work!"
Seeing that she answered simply and without any anger or complaint, Shen Qingqing felt more favorable towards her. She took out two coins from her purse and handed them out, "When we go back, we will find a bullock cart to ride on. The sun is shining right now."
Poison, don’t let the child get burned.”
Da Zhuang's mother refused to take it, "Our village is not far from here. We will walk back in a while. Why take a bullock cart? Da Zhuang, pick up the bucket and let's go home."
After the two left, Shen Qingqing told Mr. He that she wanted to ask someone to roll noodles, "I think Da Zhuang Niang is pretty good, she is honest and kind, and she doesn't seem to be afraid of hardship. How about we invite her?"
help?"
"She does have a good temperament and can be used, but there is no need to hire anyone in our store. She is just rolling out noodles. What you say is more difficult than going into battle to kill the enemy."
Mr. He still refused to let go.
Shen Qingqing held her arm and smiled, "I know that my aunt is great, and I also know that she is not afraid of hardship or fatigue, but please also be considerate of me as a junior."
"I have to take care of the children and the noodle shop. If I get tired and sick after busy work, wouldn't I feel bad? Don't the children feel bad?"
"You kid, ugh..." He turned his head away, his eyes were sore and his heart was so soft.
Please understand my thoughts as a junior...
She never thought that she, who was childless, would be so lucky to meet someone who could respect and love her as an elder.
She wiped away the tears that were about to roll out of her eyes, smiled and held her hand, "Auntie, I promise you, please invite someone!"
"Okay, then let's make an agreement. Tomorrow you will go back to the village to pack your things, and discuss with the strong mother how to help. During the period when I am not at home, you and the children will live in the town. Don't run back and forth.
,trouble."
"The big strong lady will give her 20 cents a day and ask her to deliver the rolled noodles before noon. Don't care about anything else. The quality of the noodles must pass the standard. You can't cut corners. We can do business or not. We
The store’s reputation must not be ruined.”
Mr. He nodded, "Don't worry, I still understand this truth. I will make it clear to her in advance later. Are Xuebao's shrimps and snails still for sale? I see many customers are asking this."
Meng Qixue, who was playing on the side, had sharp ears. When she heard her name, she immediately turned her head and looked over, "Mother, Xuebao still wants to sell shrimps!"
She gave half of the copper coins she earned from selling shrimps last time to her father, and she only had two small handfuls left, which was not enough for her to buy candies, hair ties, new clothes...it wasn't enough to buy anything anyway.
She's going to make so much money!
Shen Qingqing waved her hands helplessly, "Sell it if you want. I'll teach you Grandma He how to fry shrimps and snails. Just tell Da Zhuang later and let him continue catching."
It's rare that your child is interested in this, so let her sell it and see what she can sell in the end.
Just do it, she immediately set off to carry the bucket containing the shrimps and snails to the backyard. She poured the shrimps into a sieve to pick out impurities and washed them clean. The snails had already been soaked in water and only needed to cut off their tails and wash them several times.
While cleaning, she taught He the secrets of making these two dishes: "The most important step in frying dried shrimps is the frying step. Fry them over medium heat until brown, then take them out, and then fry them again over high heat, so that the fried shrimps will be delicious."
Crispy and the best taste.”
"The most important thing about spicy stir-fried snails is to be willing to cut out the ingredients. The onion, ginger, garlic, chili, Sichuan peppercorns, cinnamon and other spices must be complete. It is best to leave some soup. Only the juicy snail meat has soul."
Gudong, Gudong...
There was a sound of swallowing behind her, and when she turned around, everyone, big and small, was staring at her eagerly, even a certain ghost who didn't need to eat was no exception.
Shen Qingqing smiled and rolled her eyes, "Okay, don't look at me, let's start cooking and let you eat enough tonight!"
With so many pounds of shrimps and snails, can’t we eat enough?
Sanbao took the lead and ran into the kitchen quickly, shouting excitedly: "Eat shrimps! Eat enough, eat enough!"
Shen Qingqing held the spoon while He made the fire while Meng Yuan and a few children watched. They fried the shrimps, fried the snails, and fried a plate of green vegetables. A simple dinner was ready.
When the food was served, the four children pounced on it like hungry wolves. He and Shen Qingqing did not stop using their chopsticks, and they all immersed themselves in eating deliciously.
Meng Yuan, who was completely ignored, silently picked up a piece of shrimp and looked left and right, up and down. Even the chili seeds hanging on the tail of the shrimp had the word "delicious" written on it.
He obviously couldn't smell it, but the fresh scent of shrimp seemed to have penetrated his nostrils, tempting him to swallow saliva.
Is there anything more frustrating than being able to eat the delicious food in front of you?
No!
He depressedly put the shrimps into Shen Qingqing's bowl.
Shen Qingqing looked up at him and said, "I'll just put it in the bowl later. There's no need to pick it up separately."
"The portion I picked up is mine, you help me eat it." Meng Yuan said seriously.
Shen Qingqing held the bowl and laughed, deliberately teasing him: "Are you greedy? Aren't you?"
Meng Yuan met her eyes, with a smile on his face, "Qingqing's cooking is so delicious, how can I not be greedy for it?"
A laugh came from behind, and Shen Qingqing's face heated up, and she looked back in shame and embarrassment.
Mr. He wiped off the rice grains from his mouth, moved the bowl aside as if nothing had happened, and muttered: "My ears are a little old because of my age. If you continue, I can't hear you."
Shen Qingqing's face turned even redder, she glared at Meng Yuan fiercely, and continued to eat rice without even raising her head after eating a bowl of rice. This chapter has been completed!
