Chapter 7: A business with ten dollars
Xu Jingsi was a little excited. She could do a business worth more than ten yuan!
Thinking of this, she quickly finished her noodles, and didn't bother to rest. She asked the boss of the noodle restaurant the direction of the farmers' market, and then ran away.
It was quite far away, but Xu Jingsi did not take the bus. One was to save 20 cents, and the other was to exercise more. What she needed most now was exercise.
After buying what she needed from the market, she asked the boss who sold the goods for a snakeskin pocket, carrying something weighing 20 or 30 kilograms, and walked back to the First Machinery Factory step by step!
When she returned to the dormitory with her things, she didn't have time to rest. She took the bucket and basin and went straight to the water pipe to pick up the water. Then she took out the red beans, glutinous rice, jujubes and eight-treasure rice from the bag. She put a scoop of each and soaked it, and soaked it with the rice dumpling leaves.
That’s right, she wants to make rice dumplings and sell rice dumplings!
She used about one-fifth of the rice she soaked today, and she could pack almost fifty or sixty pieces, and the cost was about one cent per cent. She sold two cents per cent. If she sold them all, she could earn five or six yuan. She could earn dozens of yuan in ten days. With the capital, she could set up her stall. Maybe even if she didn't have to point at Qiao Yu's 500 yuan, she could leave here quickly!
After resting, Xu Jingsi started to get busy. Tonight, he had to wrap all the rice dumplings and cook them, soak them overnight before they were delicious.
In the past, she thought the rice dumplings she bought were not delicious. Every year on the Dragon Boat Festival, she would make rice dumplings, candied dates, red beans, and eight treasures, and also meat. She would make a lot of them every time, and then take them to the company to share them with everyone, which was unanimously praised by everyone.
After raising the stove, boiling water, boiling red beans, and to make red bean rice dumplings, make the beans into bean paste first.
Cooking red beans is a long process. When the red beans are cooked, the building becomes lively.
Xu Jingsi is also about to start making bean paste. Her exclusive secret is to add date paste to the red bean paste. The red bean paste made in this way is fragrant and sweet. After stir-frying the red bean paste, Xu Jingsi tasted it and it was really fragrant, sweet and delicious!
After tasting the red bean paste, she was really looking forward to the taste of the rice dumplings.
After the red bean paste is ready and the rice is soaked, the rice leaves will be softened. Xu Jingsi rolled up her sleeves and sighed, "This is the benefit of being a foodie, and she can be eaten as a meal at critical moments!"
But while wrapping, she suddenly discovered a problem. The basin for serving rice dumplings was not enough. The pots, basins and bowls were still not enough. This one had to be soaked overnight!
Xu Jingsi put down the rice dumpling leaves and wiped her hands, went to see the money in the bag, and after rummaging, she only had seven cents left!
She just wanted to buy these things and almost spent her money, but she didn't expect that only seven cents were left!
Holding the 70 cents, Xu Jingsi smiled bitterly, she would have left any penny that she could not spend.
Why don't you go out and borrow one?
Thinking of Xu Jing's character, she retreated a little, but there was nothing she could do. She gritted her teeth and stood up, walked out toward Pei Daming's house. Before she got off work, there was someone in their house at this time!
When she walked to their house, she saw that the door of their house was really not locked. She knocked gently, and Wang Guizhi's voice immediately sounded inside, "Who is it!"
Then her footsteps sounded, and then she came out with the soles of her shoes. When she saw it was Xu Jing, she asked indifferently, "Is there anything wrong?" She was really worried that she would give Xu Jing a good look, so she was arrogant.
Hey, Wang Guizhi was surprised. When she saw her in the morning, she still had long hair, and she turned into short hair so quickly, but she was quite energetic.
Looking at Wang Guizhi's alienated expression, Xu Jingsi gritted the bullet and said, "Sister-in-law, can you lend me one of the basins for washing vegetables for me? I will pay it back to you tomorrow. I'm making rice dumplings, not enough."
Wang Guizhi was surprised, "You can make rice dumplings?"
"Yes, I'll give you a try when I'm ready."
The smile on Wang Guizhi's face turned alive, "For it, you can use it." She said, and picked up the basin on the shelf next to the door and handed it to her.
"Sister-in-law, thank you." Xu Jingsi thanked sincerely, "I will return it to you if I buy it tomorrow."
The eight-treasure zongzi made by Xu Jingsi quickly smelled like eight-treasure zongzi in the corridor. Whoever came up asked what he was doing...
Xu Jingsi listened clearly in the room. When she was about to pour the rice dumplings out, the people who were cooking in the corridor looked at her.
With Pei Daming's wife Wang Guizhi here, I guess everyone knows that she is cooking rice dumplings now.
She took the pot into the house, soaked the rice dumplings in the basin and started cooking candied dates. There were 19 eight-treasure rice dumplings in this pot. She felt very happy when she spread one of the rice dumplings. She admired herself so much that she hadn’t even cooked them!
She added charcoal to the stove and prepared to cook the second pot. As soon as she put the pot on, she saw Pei Daming's son Pei Xiaoming walking up the stairs with a big schoolbag on his back. When the little boy saw her looking at him, the smile on his face disappeared immediately.
"Xiao Ming!" Xu Jingsi called him, "Auntie has cooked rice dumplings and come here to eat them for you."
"No!" Pei Xiaoming said that, as if he had seen a thief, he ran away!
Xu Jingsi smiled bitterly, went back to the house, picked up three big ones and put them in a bowl, took them to Pei Daming's house, and put them in two more pockets.
Pei Daming hadn't come back just now. Wang Guizhi was preparing to cook. When she saw Xu Jingsi really came with rice dumplings, her face suddenly became happy, "How many have you made? I gave us so much."
"I've bought a lot." Xu Jingsi smiled, "You can eat these three. Please give these two. Xiao Ming a trip to Qiao Yu."
"What's the trouble!" Wang Guizhi took Xu Jingsi's bowl with a smile, turned to the room and shouted, "Did Xiao Ming hear it? Go and send it to you Uncle Qiao."
Xiao Ming ran over, picked up the bag, and ran towards the stairs without saying a word.
"You'll eat rice dumplings tonight?"
Xu Jingsi nodded, took the empty bowl and said, "You are busy, I'll go first."
Wang Guizhi sent Xu Jingsi out with a passionate smile, turned around and then said to Pei Daming in surprise, "Did you see it? It's really different. I've cut my hair and I know that I've worked, it's like a different person!"
Pei Daming looked at the three zongzi in the bowl in a daze. When he heard Wang Guizhi's words, he looked up and said to her, "She promised to divorce Qiao Yu!"
"Really!" Wang Guizhi screamed.
Pei Daming almost jumped up, "You can speak quietly!"
Wang Guizhi did not argue with him, but lowered her voice and asked in disbelief, "Really? Did Xu Jing really agree?"
"Well, I agreed yesterday. She said she would ask for 500 yuan, and as long as Lao Qiao gave her 500 yuan, she would go back to go through the procedures with him."
"Ah! Five hundred!" Wang Guizhi asked quickly, "Qiao Yu agreed to give her five hundred?"
Pei Daming nodded.
