Tan Zhengran was stunned, picked up the kitchen knife on the cutting board, and slammed it hard on the cutting board.

She said with a cold face: "Cheng Yue'er, did I give you a good face and made you get carried away?"

Faced with Tan Zhengran's sudden face change, Cheng Yue'er was terrified.

Her mother-in-law is so scary, she should have known better not to interrupt.

The mother-in-law is still the same mother-in-law, and there is nothing strange or unbelievable about it.

"Mother, I'm worried that you miss your father too much and are too sad. Mother, you don't remember villains, don't see your daughter-in-law." Cheng Yueer flattered Tan Zhengran.

Cheng Yueer's heart trembled as Tan Zhengran kept a straight face.

Cheng Yueer hid in the corner of the kitchen like a little chick, not daring to speak much, for fear of offending Tan Zhengran again.

"I have lived for more than 40 years and haven't seen any major events, yet dare to doubt my strength.

The reason is that I haven't cooked for many years, and I can still feed your stomachs when I cook again. "Tan Zhengran stated the facts.

Back then, the original owner's mother-in-law was willing to let the original owner's husband-in-law marry her because she liked the original owner's delicious cooking and excellent craftsmanship.

"What mother said is that the daughter-in-law is stupid." Cheng Yueer cautiously approached Tan Zhengran, "Mother, what shall we do next?"

She understood a truth, don't mess with her mother-in-law if you mess with anyone.

When her mother-in-law gave her a smiling face, it made people feel very talkative, and it was too scary to get angry. She couldn't bear her mother-in-law's anger.

"Light up a fire in both pots, pour oil into one pot first, and when the oil is heated, add spices such as scallion, ginger and gourd to the pot and stir-fry until fragrant.

In another pot, fill the pot with an appropriate amount of water, wait for the water to boil, put the shredded potatoes into the pot, blanch and remove. "Tan Zhengran said.

Cheng Yueer listened carefully, and according to what Tan Zhengran said, go to the firewood room to get wood first.

She was in charge of lighting and filling the fire, and Tan Zhengran was in charge of boiling the big bone soup and blanching the shredded potatoes.

She looked at Tan Zhengran's proficient movements, as if they were the proficiency of someone who is busy in the kitchen every day, not like someone who hasn't touched kitchen utensils for many years.

She had so many questions that she couldn't ask any of them.

Don't be afraid of getting sick again in your heart, Cheng Yue'er is conflicted, and her brows are fighting to squeeze in the middle.

Tan Zhengran sautéed scallions, ginger, and gourd until fragrant, added water to the pot, and put the processed big bones into the pot.

She pinched a small handful of salt from the salt jar, sprinkled it into the mouth and stirred it with a wooden spoon, and then added a few Sichuan peppercorns, cinnamon, bay leaves, etc. to enhance the taste of the soup, covered the pot and waited for the soup to cook.

After the shredded potatoes were blanched, Tan Zhengran took them out of the pot with a wooden colander to control the moisture.

She put the shredded potatoes in the basin and started the sauce.

The sauce is very simple, she adjusted two kinds of sauce.

One is the salt and sauce added when cooking, and the other is salt and vinegar.

One is a normal salty mouth, the other is a salty and sour mouth, and it is not wrong to say that it is a sour mouth.

After the two kinds of sauces are adjusted, divide the shredded potatoes into two parts, pour different sauces on them, and mix the potatoes with chopsticks to avoid salty and bland taste.

After the potato shreds had prepared the sauce, Tan Zhengran poured two spoonfuls of oil into the pan, waited for the oil to heat up, put the rolled cakes into the pan, and cooked them one by one.

She cut a flatbread in half with a kitchen knife and wrapped two different flavors of shredded potatoes for Cheng Yueer to taste.

Cheng Yueer extinguished the fire in the big pot that was not in use, got up and walked to Tan Zhengran, holding a burrito in one hand.

The first thing she tasted was the burrito held in her left hand. She chewed the first bite, her eyes widened in surprise, and she took another bite in disbelief.

"Mother, I didn't expect the pancakes to be filled with oil just once, and they taste delicious." Cheng Yueer immediately tasted the pancakes in her right hand.

The burrito in the right hand, the potato inside tastes sour, it is very appetizing for those who have a bad appetite, and those who like to eat sour taste prefer to eat the burrito held in his right hand.

"Isn't it delicious? Don't you dare question your mother's strength now?

It's true that my mother has been an idler all these years, and the skills and steps of cooking have not been lost, nor have they been forgotten.

Sometimes Niang secretly researches new recipes in her mind, but with your sister-in-law around, Niang is too lazy to do it. " Tan Zhengran explained.

Cheng Yueer was overwhelmed by Tan Zhengran's burritos, and now she was convinced and dared not question Tan Zhengran anymore.

"Mom, is this the food you want to sell? I like to eat them all, and the workers on Shunfengshui Wharf must also like to eat them." Cheng Yueer ate up all the two burritos in her hand, still feeling a little unfinished.

She stared intently at the baked pancake in the basin, and asked, "Mom, can I have another one?"

"Get it yourself." Tan Zhengran said and rolled a piece for himself to eat.

The burrito she ate tasted sour. If she fried a plate of sour potatoes, she could make three bowls of rice by herself.

"Mother, now I understand why you still want to cook big bone soup." Cheng Yueer wanted to drink a bowl of hot big bone soup after eating the burritos.

"Drinking a bowl of big bone soup not only relieves gluttony but also warms the stomach.

The seasoning, oil, and big bones added by my mother cost at least a penny.

Selling a bowl of big bone soup for two pennies, the net profit of a bowl of big bone soup can earn a penny. "

"Mother, according to this calculation, if you sell [-] bowls of big bone soup a day, the net profit will be [-] Wen, which sounds more cost-effective than working part-time."

She embroidered a handkerchief for twenty Wen, and she counted that her female red handicraft was the best, the handicraft of the female red was ten Wen for a handkerchief, and the poor handicraft was only five Wen.

Normally, she can embroider one hundred handkerchiefs a month and earn two taels of silver a month.

The cost of her mother-in-law's burritos is calculated according to the cost of the big pot of soup, and the net profit of a burrito can also be a penny.

They don’t sell much burritos, about [-] copies a day, plus big bone soup, earn a net [-] yuan a day, or [-] yuan a month.

For their family, this little money is nothing. For ordinary families, it is a lot of income, which can support a child to read and write.

In their village, the annual bundle repair fee for a child is three taels of silver. After removing the three taels of silver for the bundle repair fee, the remaining few taels of silver can be spent by the people in their village for two years, and there is still a tael of silver left.

Cheng Yue'er admires Tan Zhengran, at least she doesn't have the business acumen.

"Mother, just tell me what you need my help with." Cheng Yueer hoped that Tan Zhengran could persist for a few more days.

If her mother-in-law doesn't make trouble, she can follow suit and live a good life for a few days.

"Well, mother is going to go to the Shunfeng Shunshui Wharf to try the sale tomorrow.

You have to work hard tonight, follow your mother to make the portion that is going to be sold tomorrow in advance, so as not to rush to make it tomorrow morning. "Tan Zhengran said.

"Okay, mother, tomorrow is your first time setting up a stall, why don't you ask my husband to ask for leave to help mother out?"
