Lin Lan took some and cut it into diced meat, divided the remaining glutinous rice into two portions, poured soaked red beans into one portion, mixed well, and wrapped the bacon red bean rice dumplings, and the other portion wrapped bacon chestnut rice dumplings.
The chestnut rice dumplings are tied with fine hemp ropes, and the red bean and bacon rice dumplings are tied with brown strips so that customers can easily distinguish them when buying.
After ladling more than half of the pot of water and boiling it, put the rice dumplings directly into the pot of water and cover them to simmer.
The fire was cooked for about an hour and a half, then the charcoal fire was placed in the large pot outside to steam the red bean paste and large white beans.
The two sat on the eaves and started cutting beans. Xiaodouzi came out rubbing his eyes: "Mom, I want to go to grandma's place to play with He Xiaoming."
"Okay! Mom will send you there." Lin Lan wiped his hands and led him to the old lady's place. He saw her sitting at the back door doing sewing: "Uncle, why don't you come to my house to sit?"
The old lady took off her reading glasses from the bridge of her nose and said with a smile: "You have to keep an eye on the little chicken when you put it in the yard."
Xiaodouzi ran up to her: "Grandma, have you seen He Xiaoming?"
The old lady smiled and said: "I came to see you just now. You go to his house to find him."
Xiaodouzi looked at Lin Lan: "Mom, you go home and I'm going to Xiao Ming's house."
When you are poor, you want to change. You saw the plight of your family at a young age, and you are willing to come out to share the worries of your parents. He is a good child with good conduct.
After Lin Lan asked clearly, she nodded cheerfully: "It's okay to sell it to you wholesale. The clothing factory charges a stall fee. It's 70 cents per day, and the monthly subscription is cheaper at 15 cents a month. It doesn't cost much to do two shows in the morning and evening.
expensive."
The old lady smiled and nodded: "Okay! Xiaodouzi, I'll watch. You go back and do your work."
"I forgot to ask you." Yang Liying also looked at him curiously.
Lin Yuezhen, who was making bean paste in the room, heard the guests coming and brought out a stool for them to sit on.
Lin Lan nodded with satisfaction: "I'll give you the goods on credit first. You sell them back and give me the capital. I'll accumulate the capital and pay for it now. There are three varieties at the moment, retail for 2 cents and wholesale for 15 cents."
Lin Lan nodded: "Go!"
"It's okay, I'll stand for a moment!" Wang Zhixue said with a blushing smile.
Wang Zhixue listened carefully and said, "I remember."
Lin Lan thought for a moment and asked, "Is this business yours alone, or are you helping the family run it?"
She felt that Wang Zemin was either evil-hearted or stubborn, otherwise he would not have used all his family wealth to help bury Yang Laoyao in such a poor situation.
Looking at him, he said: "When I was studying, I heard an educated youth on the team say that one-third of a person's life is determined by fate, and the other seven-tenth depends on hard work. Only those who work hard will be favored by God."
Wang Zhixue raised his head and glanced at Lin Lan, blushing and said: "Auntie, I take care of the eels every day at home and secretly sell them at the entrance of Dongzi.
I saw someone from our team selling things there. His family used to be poorer than mine, so it took more than half a year to renovate the house."
Wang Zhixue bowed gratefully to Lin Lan: "Thank you, aunt, I know you need to pay for setting up a stall. Last time I went to Dongzikou to sell eel, I also gave him five cents."
Lin Lan was stunned for a moment before she remembered that he was Wang Zhixue, Yang Liqun's eldest son. She smiled and said, "It's Zhixue! My aunt almost didn't recognize her. Sit down quickly."
After hearing this, Lin Lan looked at him with satisfaction: "Does your mother know you are here?"
Lin Lan tasted the chestnut rice dumplings and found them fragrant and waxy, with a light fruity aroma. She ate two of them in one go.
I picked out one of the three flavors of rice dumplings, dried them for a while and handed them to Yuezhen: "How does it taste?"
Lin Lan looked at him and felt that he was indeed quite clever. If he could do business in a down-to-earth manner, he would be able to achieve success after opening up, but he was afraid that being too clever would be self-defeating.
Yang Liying thanked her, pulled Zhixue to sit next to her, and said to her: "After lunch, Zhixue came to my house and asked me if there were any other ways to make money besides making tofu?"
Lin Lan did not answer Yang Liying, but turned to look at Wang Zhixue: "Zhixue, your father doesn't agree with your mother selling tofu, how come you want to do business?"
"What smells so good?" Yang Liying said in the yard.
The young man glanced at Lin Lan shyly and shouted: "Auntie!"
"At that time, I wanted to find something to sell in Dongzikou, but I had no capital and no means. That day, my aunt went to my house and told my mother about making tofu. My mother and I both wanted to agree, but we didn't know that my father, aunt, etc.
, Auntie, I'm sorry for you!" Wang Zhixue stood up and said with an apologetic look.
Wang Zhixue lowered his head and listened nervously and cautiously.
"Thank you, aunt!" Wang Zhixue looked at Yang Liying happily, "Aunt, I will go back and tell my mother first to make her happy."
When the pea cakes and beans are cut, the rice dumplings simmered in the pot are also cooked.
Wang Zhixue looked at the two of them: "I came here myself. If I earn money, I will help my mother support the family. The third child has good grades and is very obedient. I want to support his education and don't want him to be like me and my parents.
It’s the same.”
Yuezhen nodded, untied it, took a bite, and nodded repeatedly to express that it was delicious.
Wang Zhixue blushed: "Auntie, don't worry too much. My father is not evil-minded, but he has a bad temper. After my aunt left, he still talked to my mother, worrying that life would be more difficult for you if you were arrested."
Wang Zhixue glanced at her: "I know, my mother asked me to find my aunt." She said that her aunt was just a lazy person and not very reliable.
Yang Liying smiled and waved her hands: "It's your dad who said that, why are you apologizing to him?"
"When we do business, we must be hardworking and honest, and be friendly and make money. The last thing we can't do is cut corners and fool customers. As long as you fool one customer, you will lose ten or hundreds of customers."
"It's your first time selling something. I'll make fifty of them for you first. The freshly soaked beans will be available tomorrow afternoon. You can go with your aunt to see and learn from them today."
Lin Lan walked to the door and saw the couple and a handsome young man who looked very smart entering the yard.
Lin Lan glanced at Wang Zhixue: "What does he want to do?"
Watching him go to the front yard, Lin Lan said to the old lady: "Uncle, I made rice dumplings and will bring them to you to try later."
"Yeah!" Lin Lan went home and started making pea cakes, while Yuezhen was cutting beans.
Yang Liying hesitated for a moment: "Lin Lan, I heard they said that the clothing factory can also set up stalls. Can you wholesale some orchid beans, pea cakes and bean rolls for Zhixue to sell?"
Yang Liying nodded: "Go! Tell her and come over quickly."
"Hey!" Wang Zhixue ran for two steps, then came back and bowed to the two of them: "Thank you, aunt, thank you, aunt." After that, he ran away.
Several people also laughed when they saw his cheerful appearance.
Yang Liying then looked at Lin Lan: "You inquired so clearly, are you thinking of setting up another stall over there?"
Lin Lan smiled and nodded: "Yeah! If Zhixue wants to go, I will let him go, so that I can work at home." Wholesale to Wang Zhixue to sell, she won't have to be so tired, and he can also make money to support his family, a win-win situation!
