After dinner, Zhou Dani and Lao Zhao took Ni Cuihua and Ni Yan and her daughter to the tram station.

Ni Yan hugged Xiao Ni Yun.

Ni Cuihua held Zhou Dani's hand tightly, "Da Nizi, if you have time, you must bring your brother-in-law and the children to my house to play. You can just take the No. 9 tram and take it to the bottom of Jinghua Village. You can call in advance when you come. I will go to the entrance of the village to pick you up."

Zhou Dani nodded, "I'm a little busy these days, so I'll definitely go when I'm free!"

"Then I'll wait for you at home!"

Ni Cuihua reluctantly got on the tram.

Watching the tram gradually disappear into the night, Zhou Dani turned to look at Lao Zhao, "How is the business today?"

Lao Zhao sighed, "Not very good..." People in Beijing like to eat pasta, so Lao Zhao has been buying steamed buns all these years.

When I first started selling, my business was pretty good, but recently, my business has been getting worse and worse, and I can’t even sell a dollar of steamed buns every day.

They have to pay 10 yuan in rent every month.

Zhou Dani also frowned, "What should I do? The rent is about to be paid, and the children are going to school, so they have to spend money everywhere."

Lao Zhao said: "Don't worry, maybe your business will get better tomorrow."

Zhou Dani said: "Is the entrance to your place not good? Why don't you change your seat tomorrow?"

Lao Zhao nodded.

The couple returned home with a sad face.

As soon as he got home, Xiaoshuang ran over and grabbed the couple's hands and said, "My mom and dad, come and see you. Today, the auntie and sister Ni Yan brought a lot of good things here!"

It was dark at that time, and Zhou Dani didn't look carefully at how many things Ni Cuihua and Ni Yan brought over. Now she realized that Ni Cuihua and Ni Yan did bring a lot of good things.

There are oxalis and beef pellets.

The candy and cookies have been taken apart by the children.

In addition, Zhou Dani also found two bottles of white wine.

Even if their family visits relatives during the Chinese New Year, they can’t buy so many things!

Zhou Dani said: "Daya spent a lot of money today! Daya is so polite!"

Lao Zhao stared at the two bottles of wine. After a while, he said with difficulty: "Damn, why don't you go and take the two bottles of wine to the store tomorrow to change it to see if you can get some money back. I think it's 35 yuan for these two bottles of wine. We don't want to change too much. Change it to 30 yuan and pay the children's tuition and rent first."

Although this is a bit bad, it is the only way to do it now.

If the wine is not exchanged for money, their family of six will be left on the streets and the children will have no money to go to school.

Zhou Dani was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Okay. Then when we have money, I will definitely thank Daya's family."

Lao Zhao nodded, "That's for sure."

The next day, Zhou Dani went to the store and exchanged the two bottles of white wine for thirty yuan.

The usual price for these two bottles of liquor is 35 yuan for two bottles.

The store owner is still happy to exchange two bottles for thirty yuan.

The children's tuition and rent were finally settled, which also made Zhou Dani breathe a sigh of relief.

After hearing Zhou Dani's words, Lao Zhao changed the place and continued to set up a stall today.

Today is the day when the restaurant is completed. At 11:30 in the morning, Ni Yan came to the city and bought tobacco, alcohol and cooked dishes. He was ready to treat everyone to a meal.

She bought meat dishes, braised beef, pork head, tiger skin and chicken feet, etc.

At this time, there is no oil or water in the stomach, and you won’t get greasy if you eat too much meat. Moreover, everyone does physical work and needs to be replenished.

After buying the vegetables, only the staple food was left. At this moment, Ni Yan saw a steamed bun selling next to him.

It just so happened that people in Beijing like to eat pasta, so Ni Yan pushed the car over to buy steamed buns, "Boss, please give me 50 steamed buns."

There are now 18 workers in the restaurant.

A big man has to eat two or three steamed buns, so 50 steamed buns are not too much.

50 steamed buns!

Lao Zhao, who was originally chewing steamed buns with his head down, suddenly became energetic after hearing this sentence. He quickly put down the steamed buns in his hand and took a bag, "Okay, wait a moment."

At this time, Ni Yan saw Lao Zhao clearly and said in surprise: "Uncle Zhao!"

Old Zhao was also a little surprised, "Yanyan!"

Ni Yan smiled and said, "Uncle Zhao, it turns out that you are selling steamed buns here."

Lao Zhao nodded, "Yes, by the way, Yanyan, can you finish eating so many steamed buns? If you can't finish it this day, it will break."

Ni Yan said: "Don't worry, there are more than a dozen people eating."

Only then did Lao Zhao feel relieved and neatly filled fifty steamed buns and handed them to Ni Yan.

At this time, the steamed buns cost 10 cents and Ni Yan would buy them occasionally, so she knew the price. After taking the steamed buns, she handed them one yuan and three cents to Lao Zhao.

But Lao Zhao was not willing to accept it.

Ni Cuihua and Ni Yan and her daughter are so polite. If it weren't for the gifts they brought, it would have been a problem for their children to go to school next month.

If he still wants to collect money for a few steamed buns, he would be too conscienceless!

"Uncle Zhao, you are doing business, how can you not charge money? If you don't charge money, I can't ask for this steamed bun." As he said that, Ni Yan put down the steamed buns, knowing that life in Lao Zhao's family was not easy, so Ni Yan would not give this money.

Lao Zhao said: "Yanyan, you and your mother are so polite. I came to our house yesterday to bring so many things! I only have a few steamed buns, all of which are made by myself, and they are not worth anything at all! Unless you dislike Uncle Zhao's steamed buns that are not worth nothing!"

Ni Yan said: "Uncle Zhao, one code is the same as the other. If you don't charge money, I will buy it from the previous store!"

After much persuasion, Lao Zhao was willing to accept the money.

Ni Yan saw the steamed bun in the basket that had been eaten half apart, and there was a kettle next to it, "Uncle Zhao, do you eat this steamed bun at noon?"

Lao Zhao smiled and said, "Yes, my home is quite far away from here. If you don't want to go back at noon, just eat some steamed buns to deal with it. The steamed buns are good, and the steamed buns are sweet and soft, and it's also the best time. In the era of the Great Famine, who can eat such a good white-floured steamed bun!"

In fact, Lao Zhao ate the remaining steamed buns that were not sold out several days ago. They were dry and hard and had no taste at all.

"Uncle Zhao, I'll give you this to eat with steamed buns." Ni Yan handed Lao Zhao a greasy paper bag.

"It's good for me to eat steamed buns, so I don't need this." Lao Zhao quickly refused.

"Just take it. Anyway, I bought a lot of it, and it would be a waste to eat it in a while." Yu Luo said, "By the way, Uncle Zhao, do you have many steamed buns left every day?"

Lao Zhao sighed, "Business has been in a downturn recently, and there are steamed buns left every day."

"Will the steamed buns the next day be hard to sell?" Ni Yan asked.

"Yes." Lao Zhao nodded, "The next day, the steamed buns taste bad, so we all left them to eat them ourselves."

Ni Yan picked up the steamed bun that had been eaten by Lao Zhao. The steamed buns overnight were not as soft and dry as the steamed buns made in the first place. To put it too much, it was like a brick.

Ni Yan continued: "Uncle Zhao, you can actually cut this kind of overnight steamed bun into slices, fry it in hot oil and make it golden on both sides, then sprinkle some pepper and apply some tomato sauce alive. If you like salty and spicy food, add pepper, and if you like sweet and sour taste, add tomato sauce. Then, when the school is over, go to the school gate to sell it, which should be very good."

As long as the overnight steamed buns are kept well, they will not affect their health. They are just much worse than fresh steamed buns. However, they will have no effect when they are fried into crispy steamed bun slices. They taste crispy and crispy, and the taste is very good!

Very popular among young people.

Lao Zhao felt a little mysterious, "Can this work?"

Ni Yan smiled and said, "I think you can give it a try."

Lao Zhao said again: "What is tomato sauce?"

Ni Yan explained: "Tomato sauce is tomato sauce."

Lao Zhao said curiously: "Can tomatoes be made into sauce?"

In fact, tomato sauce was originally invented by Chinese people, but at the beginning the raw material of tomato sauce was not tomato but pure fish sauce made of mixed fish. The pure fish sauce was slightly salty and had a unique flavor. Later, my ancestors thought that the pure fish sauce tasted a little single, so they added beans to the pure fish sauce, which was a low-end version of the bean sauce. It was very popular on the market at that time.

Later, in the Ming Dynasty, pure fish sauce in the south became popular again, and pure fish sauce also had its own name: salmon juice, which was read in the dialect of the time: kê-tsiaap.

Later, salmon juice was introduced overseas, and the taste of this Chinese salmon sauce was very popular and spread all over the world, changing from foreigners to American tomato sauce.

Therefore, the American tomato sauce that is popular all over the world is not the American tomato sauce, but the Chinese kê-tsiap salmon juice!

KFC and McDonald's had not yet entered China in the 1980s, so at this time, Chinese people still didn't like to eat tomato sauce, and some people even didn't know tomato sauce at all.

Ni Yan nodded and continued, "Of course tomatoes can be made into sauce. I will write it to you with a pen. You can try it when you go back." As he said that, Ni Yan took out a pen and a small notebook from his pocket.
