rebirth through food

"Brother, little brother? Wake up!"

Lan'er's crisp and tender voice echoed in his ears, Ye Xiaofeng opened his eyes in a daze, "Lan'er..."

"Brother, didn't you say you have to get up early today?" Lan'er saw Ye Xiaofeng woke up and jumped off the kang, "The noodles are ready, just waiting for you to make them."

"Ah oh." Ye Xiaofeng got up stupidly, and then suddenly remembered what happened before. "It turned out to be a dream... It's scary!"

Ye Xiaofeng let out a long breath, jumped off the kang to wash, knowing that it was just a dream, made him feel a lot lighter.

As expected, the noodles had already risen very well, and Lan Er also followed his practice yesterday, rolling out the noodles thinly, sprinkled with salt and coated with a layer of lard, and carefully rolled them up.Compared with him, girls do things more meticulously, and the rolled layers are several more layers than his previous ones, which is not bad, at least when making biscuits, there will be more layers and a better taste.

Only half of yesterday’s pork liver was fried, and the remaining half was boiled in water. Put green onion, ginger, and white wine in the water to cook, then take it out and soak it in salt water.Take it out at this moment, the taste should be just right.

Divide the noodles into small doses, dip them one by one on the dried sesame seeds, and put them in an iron pan with a thin layer of vegetable oil.Father Ye was in charge of the iron pot's fire, and Lan'er cut the pork liver into thin and uniform slices according to Ye Xiaofeng's instructions.

After a pot of sesame seed cakes was put away, Ye Xiaofeng went to the shed to get the large intestines.Here, Father Ye is in charge of turning the biscuits from time to time.

After a night of air-drying, the skin of the large intestine is slightly dry, but the seasoning inside should also be marinated into the taste.Ye Xiaofeng carefully removed the large intestine, cut it into small pieces, put it into another pot and fry it carefully.

Among the internal organs, the intestines are the most difficult to prepare, but they are also the most delicious.After Lan'er cut the liver, she went to help Father Ye turn over the sesame seed cakes.

There is only a pot here, not a pan, so the heat is not evenly heated, and it is very easy to burn.Fortunately, Father Ye and Lan'er both knew how to cook. Although the first few didn't look very good, they gradually mastered the tricks. Each of the fried pancakes was crispy and delicious.

Put it in other farmers, but they are reluctant to eat it like this. This sesame seed cake has two taels of noodles, plus fat, and the cost is not low.

Although Ye Xiaofeng also knew that the cost would be higher, but in this environment, he couldn't choose cheaper food, otherwise he would only sell it for two or three pennies a day, so he might as well not do this business.What's more, even if there are more poor people like them, there are still rich people.

A pot of sesame seed cakes is all baked, and Ye Xiaofeng is also done.Put the pork liver and fried sausage into two bowls respectively, and put the sesame seed cakes in a basket, wrap these things with a clean cotton cloth, and put some necessary things on the car together. Go to the market.

Originally, the two brothers and sisters did not intend to bring Father Ye with them, but Father Ye was really worried about the two children and insisted on coming, so the two had no choice but to agree, and Father Ye's coming would be good for them, or the two of them would be together right now. Pushing the cart hard, instead of sitting leisurely in the cart.

Ye's father, who is used to farming all the year round, seems to be very relaxed when pushing the wooden cart. Even with the weight of his son and daughter weighing more than 100 kilograms, it is not too difficult.Seeing that Father Ye didn't seem to be struggling, the siblings felt relieved and started discussing how to sell the biscuits in the car.

Today's market is in another village, farther than the village where they bought meat yesterday.They bake sesame seed cakes and cook at home, and they have arrived here a lot later than others, and all the good seats in the market have been taken up.

Lan'er was a little anxious, but Ye Xiaofeng didn't care.They don't need to stay in a good position for eating, they just need to find a position at the entrance of the village.

After buying what they needed, these people would go home separately. After shopping for a long time at this time, they should be hungry.When the oily aroma of sesame seed cakes and sausages came out, they yelled a few more times, so no one would notice.

Lan'er mixed at least three catties of noodles yesterday. With the three catties of noodles and water, a total of 26 biscuits were baked, which is about two taels of each biscuit.Counting the oil, salt, firewood and the sesame seeds sticking to the biscuits, the biscuits are only worth half a penny, and those pork livers are basically free, and selling them together for a penny is at least half the profit.

Ye Xiaofeng's confidence slowly increased. Seeing that a few people had started to leave the market, he quickly pulled Lan'er and shouted loudly.

Father Ye wanted to yell along with him at first, but he couldn't open his mouth after trying for a long time, so he sat in the back of the car blushing.

Lan'er was a little hesitant at first, and couldn't open her mouth, but seeing her brother shouting happily, she started yelling.As for Ye Xiaofeng, there was no pressure in his heart at all.He used to work as a promoter in a supermarket when he was a freshman, and he felt unable to open his mouth when he actively promoted with strangers.But sometimes being a salesman is really a good exercise. After three days, he can already face the eloquence of those strange sisters-in-law and aunts.

Now in this world, he has no pressure at all in the face of these relatively simple farmers. Everyone who hears them yelling to come over will show a big smiling face, and then take out fragrant sesame seed cakes to ask. Do people want to buy one?

"What is this?" A burly man in his forties came over smelling the fragrance, and asked, pointing at the sesame seed cake in Ye Xiaofeng's hand.

"This is called sesame seed cake, uncle, come and try one, this one costs a penny for two taels, and it also has meat dishes in it!" Ye Xiaofeng recommended with a smile.

"What? Added meat dishes?" The big man didn't think it was cheap to sell two sides for a penny, but the latter sentence with meat dishes made him instantly interested.

As Ye Xiaofeng learned, very few people in this place can eat meat every day, and a catty of pork costs more than 20 cents. In this place where you can't see a few cents in cash all year round, no one except the rich is willing to buy it to eat every day.

So the big man in front of him was surprised when he heard that there were meat dishes in the biscuits, and he stretched out a finger, "One penny?"

"One penny!" Ye Xiaofeng nodded.

"Then I'll have one." The big man didn't expect such a good thing to happen. Although money is not easy to earn, a penny is not too embarrassing, so he quickly took out a penny and handed it over.

Ye Xiaofeng signaled Lan'er to put the money away, turned around and went to the back of the car to put a small chopping board, took out a hot biscuit, cut a hole in the biscuit with the kitchen knife he brought, looked up and smiled and asked the big man, "Uncle would you like What kind of meat dish do you want?"

"Huh? Is there any other choice?"

"Of course, one is salted, the other is fried, and they both cost a penny." Ye Xiaofeng explained with a smile.

"Then...then I want to fry it!" The big man thought for a while, and chose the one that sounded more oily.

"Okay." Ye Xiaofeng moved nimbly, took out a section of fried sausage, cut it into small pieces with a sharp knife, chopped it together with the flour stuffing with minced green onion, ginger and garlic, added it to the sesame seed cake, put it on a piece of straw paper and handed it over In the hands of the big man.

The big man didn't take it and eat it, but took a look at the biscuits first.The biscuits are not quite the same as the ones baked here. There are many layers inside, and they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.However, after looking at it for a while, he couldn't tell what kind of meat it was, so he suppressed his curiosity and took a bite.

There were a few people around to watch the excitement, but not many people were willing to spend money to buy it. When the big man bought one, they all stretched their necks to watch.

"Delicious!" The big man took a bite, and after chewing a few times, he showed surprise, "What kind of meat is this, it's so delicious! I'll buy two more and bring them back to my mother!" After finishing speaking, he handed over two more texts Money goes by.

"Okay." Ye Xiaofeng was very happy when he saw that the big man was satisfied with his meal. He knew that the words from other people's mouths were more useful than his shouting here for a long time. This was the most basic advertising effect. "Uncle, you are really filial. I will sell you three biscuits for the two pennies. If there is an extra one, we will give it to you."

"Oh, thank you very much." The big man was very moved, "I want two fried ones, and another one like the salt water you mentioned!"

"Okay!" Ye Xiaofeng cut two pancakes with fried intestines very quickly. The pork liver in salt water is much simpler. The pork liver has already been cut. The biscuits were wrapped up and handed over. "Uncle's biscuits are still hot, and they are ready to eat when we get home. Take them well."

"Thank you very much."

Seeing the big man walking away with the biscuits, the surrounding onlookers were also moved and asked if they would buy three and get one free.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, uncles and uncles, today we are trying to sell, and we only baked these [-]-odd sesame seed cakes, so we can't give them away for free. But the meat is still rich, I will give you some more meat." Ye Xiaofeng said He looked at the crowd apologetically.It's not that he doesn't want to give it away, it would be a good thing if he can make a name for it by sending a few sesame seed cakes, but today is only a trial sale, and there are indeed a few sesame seed cakes baked. "Next time at the market, if everyone comes to join us again, I will give you a few more!"

"Okay, if it's delicious, I'll definitely come to join in!" The leading big man nodded, "Give me one first."

"I also want……"

"Wrap me one, little boss, put some more meat!"

The people around laughed, and Ye Xiaofeng also laughed, "Don't worry, I'll put more meat for everyone."

Twenty or so sesame seed cakes were snatched up, and almost all the meat they brought was used up.The two brothers and sisters counted the money in the money bag, plus what was left before, there were more than [-] Wen.

"This is really making money!" Father Ye sighed, he didn't expect that the things made by the two children could be sold for so much money.Three catties of black noodles cost only ten cents, and they earned almost twice their cost.

"Father, let's go to the butcher in Chencun to buy some pork and offal." Ye Xiaofeng didn't expect to make such a profit. He planned to sell a dozen or so, and they would eat the rest of the biscuits themselves. .I didn't expect that they were all sold out. It seems that I can make more tomorrow.
