The atmosphere on the first day of the new year in the Su family was so lively, which foreshadowed the success of the Su family in the new year.
After each family member summarized their income for the year, it was time for Grandpa Su and Grandma Su to make their final appearance.
Grandpa Su said: "Old lady, tell me?"
"You better tell me, you are in charge of our accounts."
Grandma Su held a melon seed in her hand, peeled it open, and placed the kernels in a small bowl aside.
Grandpa Su cleared his throat and began to summarize.
The three brothers of the Su family, who originally thought that their parents' income was not high, were dumbfounded after hearing Grandpa Su's words.
What?
Did you hear that wrong, or are your parents really that profitable?
"Father, mother, do you two really earn so much money?" Su Laoer asked wailing.
Grandma Su glared at her silly son and said, "What, I lied to you and you gave me money?"
Su Laoer: "..."
The three brothers looked at each other, they were really only a little better than Chen Xiuyuan!
The three brothers of the Su family looked at each other. The younger one was more powerful, and the older one was even more powerful?
The old one and the young one make them look so incompetent.
Grandma Su and Grandpa Su had already taken stock of their income over the past few months before returning.
In the first half of the year, the two elders made a lot of money in the county.
But all that money was invested when the Yiming Pavilion was opened in the capital.
This time they only started counting after they arrived in the capital and opened a restaurant.
Within a few months, the restaurant's net income was more than 18,000.
This was something that would have been unthinkable half a year ago.
"Father, mother, you can't slow down. It's so shameless for you to treat us as sons like this!" Su Laoer complained.
"Why, you have no future, why don't you expect your father and I to work harder?" Grandma Su stared at her son and blamed him.
Su Laoer, who was hit hard again, decided not to speak.
We can’t talk today!
Okay, if parents work hard and their children are promising, then they can just be treated like salted fish!
Su Xiaotian saw that her fathers were not in a good mood, so she smiled and comforted them: "Daddy, second daddy, you guys work hard. After a while, you will get rich."
Business has already begun in the city, while the countryside lags behind a little.
But Su Xiaotian remembered that household responsibility system would soon be implemented.
Even if they are slower here, it will only take one or two years.
When the time comes, let Big Daddy and the others contract the pig farm or chicken farm, and they will definitely make money.
I just don’t know if the competition will be fierce by then. If there are too many people grabbing it, we will have to re-plan.
After hearing what their little niece said, the faces of the two elders lit up with joy.
"Look at what our little sweetie said, we are just waiting to get rich!"
Su Xiaotian shook her head seriously and said: "If you want to get rich, you can't wait, you have to work hard!"
Su Xiaotian thought again that she had something else to do and she should say hello to the captain's uncle early.
In recent years, as long as people are brave and willing to work, life will not be bad.
People in the team must seize the opportunity and not miss it, so that they can be the first to get rich.
As for the source of the news, Su Xiaotian was not worried.
No matter what the Su family says now, they are also people living in the capital, so hearing some news is nothing!
After eating dumplings and talking for so long, Grandma Su felt that it was almost done.
"Go to sleep, look at Xiao Yuan, he doesn't even want to open his eyes."
Isn't that right? After the child Chen Xiuyuan finished his income, he finally couldn't support it anymore. He held a pile of money and lay in his mother's arms, half asleep.
There was nothing to say all night, but early the next morning, the genius was bright and everyone in the Su family got up.
According to local rules, long noodles are eaten on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year.
May your good intentions last forever.
Long noodles are actually a type of hand-made noodles, a food with very local characteristics.
The making of long noodles requires refined white flour, eggs, minced meat, etc., so it was considered a luxury food in this era.
Families with better conditions can afford a few meals during the Chinese New Year.
Those with poor conditions can only eat one meal on the morning of New Year's Day.
Since the noodles are made by hand, they have to pay attention to the texture and the craftsmanship of the maker is very high.
From the beginning of kneading the noodles, the maker must be very precise in every step to make truly high-quality noodles.
The four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, as well as the hot and cold environment when mixing noodles, will affect the taste of noodles.
Grandma Su is undoubtedly the best expert at making long noodles in the ten miles and eight villages.
How much water needs to be added and how much alkali needs to be added will never go wrong.
The strength of pushing the dough and the time of kneading the dough can all be controlled just right.
And it can be adjusted in time according to different seasons.
In short, Grandma Su can do it perfectly every time.
Bringing out a large basin of white noodles, Grandma Su began to knead the noodles with warm water.
Soon, a large ball of dough that was moderately soft and hard, smooth and did not stick to your hands appeared in the large porcelain basin.
Grandma Su woke up this ball of noodles, and then mixed it with the second basin of noodles.
"If this happened in the past, how would you dare to come up with so much white flour?"
The Su family has a large population, and a meal requires a lot of white flour. In the years when conditions were not good, they only dared to cook a little, one bowl per person in the family, that's all.
But in the past two years, life has been visibly better.
"No, mother, life in our family feels like Chinese New Year every day." Liang Xiu is very satisfied with her current life.
Grandma Su made three bowls of noodles in a row before stopping.
After kneading it, the dough that was first mixed has woken up.
"Mom, let third brother help knead the dough!" Liang Xiu suggested.
"Okay, he's very strong, let him do it instead." Grandma Su didn't think there was anything wrong with her son helping to knead the dough.
The noodles need to be woken and kneaded three times before entering the next step.
The time to wake up the dough will be adjusted in time as the spring and summer seasons change. In addition to the intensity of kneading, the person who kneads the dough also needs skills.
Over the years, the three brothers of the Su family have been trained by my mother to become experts in this field.
Only those who are used to doing strenuous work can knead the dough vigorously enough when kneading the dough.
Su Laosan is indeed very good at kneading the dough under Grandma Su's guidance.
When it comes to the most critical step of rolling out the dough, this is a purely technical job that the Su family brothers don’t know how to do.
Some people roll out noodles, but the thickness is always uneven;
The dough rolled out by some people is neither round nor square, and it looks unsightly;
Some people even break the noodles after rolling them out.
Grandma Su can roll out square dough.
The third sister-in-law of the Su family followed her mother-in-law, and now she can also make good noodles.
The three sisters-in-law and Su Manxiu rolled the noodles, while Grandma Su was responsible for cutting the noodles.
The noodles cut by Grandma Su have uniform and clear lines, and are slightly thinner than Xianxiang.
"Mom, you have been in the capital for such a long time, and your skills are not unfamiliar at all."
Su Manxiu watched Grandma Su lift handfuls of cut noodles and said.
Among the ten miles and eight villages, the one with the best skill in rolling and cutting noodles is Grandma Su.
I thought that after arriving in the capital, Grandma Su's skills would deteriorate if she stopped rolling noodles, but I didn't expect that it would still be so good.
"Some things are engraved in our bones!" Grandma Su smiled happily.
"Mom, did our family make too many noodles this year?" Qi Liangying suddenly felt that the number of noodles seemed a little wrong.
"Oh, look at me, how could I forget such an important thing!" Grandma Su put down the knife in her hand and patted her thigh.
