After talking about how to place the banknotes, Song Qiu ended the conversation and said: "The workshop has been busy for almost a month, and a lot of starch has been made one after another. I stare at it every day, and I know that this vermicelli is just
I have to rush to make a lot of them, I can use them very well."
"The three of us can't do much just by doing what we do every day. Plus, we have to be busy with other things, so we can't stay here every day. Plus, our yard is too small.
, it is inconvenient to make vermicelli and dry it, and it won’t make much, so I plan to make the vermicelli at Zhuangzi, which will keep it more confidential.”
"As for the manpower at Zhuangzi, they are all under contract to sell themselves. Don't worry. When the time comes, just ask Uncle Lin and his wife to take over the job and keep an eye on this matter. In addition, we will need to recruit some more clumsy people to do it.
There is no need for people from other villages. It is better to find people from our own village who know the basics and use it with confidence. It is like a workshop. It has been open for such a long time. Everyone is very serious about their work and no one is talking nonsense. Another thing,
It's also a good thing that we can help the villagers earn some wages nearby, and we can repay the favor to the village."
"As for the wives in our village, I know them better. Which aunts or sisters-in-law do you think are the best ones?"
Old Yuan listened and understood what her granddaughter meant. She sold the starch recipe, but did not sell the vermicelli recipe. She thought that the vermicelli was more important than the starch, at least, her granddaughter valued it.
Well, this person needs to be strict with his words and honest in his work.
She thought about it carefully and then said: "Since we are looking for someone to go to Zhuangzi to do it, let's start with one. Your uncle's family has nothing to do in the slack season now. Your uncle's family has planted some peas in the land, and they don't need to take care of it.
Your cousins are all big, so they don’t need anyone to carry them around. It’s enough to have your uncle and aunt at home, including your eldest cousin and his wife. They go to the village every day, so it’s close!”
"We were in trouble in the past, and we often received help from your uncle's family. Although your uncle is a person who values money very seriously, life is difficult. Who doesn't? At least no matter how she is, every time I ask your uncle to borrow money
She didn't refuse money either.
Now that our life is better, we should help those who should help them. You said that you can give the money directly to your uncle, but that is not the case, and your uncle will not want it!
In this way, it would be nice to think about them and let them earn some money.
Your second cousin and the others are doing quite well in the tea shed. If your eldest cousin and the others can also get a job, then at least in the past two months until the Chinese New Year, their family will be able to earn more, and they will be able to live a happy life this year.
Have a peaceful and happy year.”
Song Qiu listened quietly, then nodded and said, "I've thought carefully about it, okay, my first cousin will be my first cousin."
She is also happy to help these relatives within her ability.
My uncle's family and my aunt's family are different from other relatives. I helped them when they were in the most difficult time.
As a human being, it is natural to be grateful.
It was unnecessary to give money or something directly, as it would also hurt the relationship between the relatives. Song Qiu originally planned to prepare a more generous annual gift this year.
Now that Nai has thought of asking her two cousins to do this job, as long as their family can spare some time, that's fine.
"There don't need to be too many people making vermicelli. If there are Uncle Lin and his wife in Zhuangzi, plus two eldest cousins, it will take six more. If our village is willing to go there, it is best to stay in Zhuangzi at night.
The inside is more convenient, so I can make all the vermicelli earlier and finish the job."
She doesn't make starch in large quantities and sell it. The nearly two thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes, that is, one kilogram of starch yields twenty kilograms of starch, and one kilogram of starch yields eight taels of vermicelli. She can also make a lot of vermicelli, which is enough for her to sell in the inn for a year.
Old Yuan nodded, continued to think about people, and said: "If you want to live in Zhuangzi, you have to choose this person carefully. Look, Aunt Fu, Sister Xiuqin, Aunt Yunfeng, and Li
Aunt Hua, and your uncle and your uncle, do you think so?"
Song Qiu listened and mentally checked these people out. He found that they were all quite good, so he nodded and said: "Okay, if you're busy tomorrow, just ask them if they want to live in Zhuangzi."
Go up there and work until the work is done. The wages are the same, six hundred dollars a month, but food and accommodation are included. If you haven't finished the work during the New Year, you will be given a few days off to celebrate the New Year, and the wages will still be calculated."
"Okay, I'll ask tomorrow."
After the grandfather and grandson finished speaking, they went to rest.
Early on the next morning, Song Qiu carried a bucket of vermicelli soaked last night, and headed straight to the inn with Zhang Lihua and Aling carrying vermicelli handles.
Also accompanying me was Lao Yuan, who rarely went to the inn early in the morning.
She went to the inn for breakfast today just to see her granddaughter's new food.
Old Mrs. Deng was also curious, and Old Mrs. Yuan also promised to bring her back a bowl to try later.
The food prepared at Jiner Tea House is glutinous rice balls and noodles, as well as soup-filled steamed cakes. The glutinous rice balls are divided into sweet and savory ones. The meat glutinous rice balls wrapped in meat are also delicious like dumplings.
The weather was cold, and passers-by liked to eat something hot, like steamed buns or steamed buns, or rice porridge. There were not many people eating, so Chen didn't make much preparations later.
Song Qiu did not touch the few dishes prepared by Mrs. Chen, but called her into the kitchen and asked her to watch her cooking. Today, the teahouse will serve a new dish, hot and sour noodles.
When Mrs. Chen heard about the hot and sour noodles, she was very curious and watched eagerly how Song Qiu made it.
She is now very good at cooking at the tea shed, and she loves making these delicacies the most. It makes passers-by feel satisfied, and she feels quite satisfied in her heart.
There is a new food called Hot and Sour Rice Noodles. When you hear the name, this food is good.
Is it sour and spicy? It will be very satisfying to eat, and it will definitely be fun to eat!
While Wang and Li were preparing the ingredients, they were also curiously waiting to see what new food the girl was going to make.
People in the kitchen gathered around to watch. Song Qiu calmly boiled a pot of water.
Then there were fifteen bowls, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and the seasonings were put in the bowls.
Add one spoonful of vinegar, one spoonful of chili oil, half a spoonful of soy sauce, a pinch of salt, a small spoonful of sugar water, a spoonful of minced garlic and ginger water, a pinch of crushed Sichuan peppercorns, and finally, add a large spoonful of broth.
Because the tea shed sells noodles, wontons and the like almost every day, Song Qiu had already taught Wang how to make soup stock. He simmered it over low heat every night and it was easy to use the next day. The noodles with soup stock had a particularly different taste.
This soup stock is usually made with added ingredients such as tubular bone and fish bones.
The bottom of the bowl was prepared and the water in the pot was boiled. Song Qiu threw the soaked vermicelli into it and cooked it.
You don’t need to cook the soaked vermicelli for too long, it’s just about right. Then add a lot of green vegetables and bean sprouts. After they’re boiled together, pick them into each bowl one by one.
Finally, put a handful of fried peanuts, diced pickled radish, chopped green onion, and coriander on the bowl.
Live together.
"Okay, it's time to have breakfast! Ask everyone to serve it. Everyone has a bowl, and everyone has a share."
Everyone who had been waiting for a long time couldn't bear it when they smelled the sour and spicy fragrance. As soon as Song Qiu spoke, everyone came up one by one to bring their bowls and start eating.
The sour, spicy and numbing aroma, the vermicelli, which is different from noodles in texture and softness, the crispness of the bean sprouts, and the sweetness of the green vegetables, are full of flavor, and everyone immediately nodded and applauded.
