Lucky husband

"He seems to have said that he wanted to sell it, but he didn't think about what to sell." Mrs. Li looked up at Jiang Zhiyun, "The third family, what did you think of when you suddenly said that?"

At the beginning when Li Chengzhi's family started selling rice noodles, it was Jiang Zhiyun who came up with ideas and money to make it finally. Thinking of this, Mrs. Li looked at Jiang Zhiyun expectantly, hoping that she would have another good idea. Country people are not afraid of working hard. No trouble, all that's missing is an idea to make money.

In fact, Li Chengzhi's brain is quite flexible. At the beginning, Jiang Zhiyun only talked about rice noodles in high soup casserole. Later, he and Bai Xiuhe worked together to figure out a few rice noodles with different flavors and different characteristics, which are quite good. up.

But it is still a little difficult to make him, a mud-legged person who has never seen anything in the world, think of a new thing.

In his spare time, Li Chengzhi went to see what other stores sell. Steamed buns, steamed buns, and pancakes are sold everywhere. They are too common. If you don’t make new patterns and flavors, they won’t be attractive enough, so he Most of all, I have been thinking about selling something again, but I have never thought about it.

Jiang Zhiyun didn't know that her elder brother was also thinking about this matter. She had this idea because of what Mrs. Li did in the morning - steaming the washed sweet potatoes and rice in a pot.

In the past, everyone grew sweet potatoes, and the color of the rice would not change when the sweet potatoes and rice were cooked together, but if purple potatoes were put in, the rice next to the purple potatoes would be dyed purple.

Not only the color of the rice will change, but if the purple potato is cooked with water alone, the color of the water in which the purple potato is cooked will also turn purple.

Recently, Jiang Zhiyun often makes soft cakes for family members to eat. Soft cakes are actually a kind of pastry made by grinding rice into pulp. The color is pure white. Because no glutinous rice is added, the soft cakes are soft and not sticky , which belongs to the taste and texture that most people will like.

But ordinary soft cakes can be made by many people, and it is not uncommon, but if more colors are added to the soft cakes, take purple sweet potatoes as an example, once the white soft cakes become purple soft cakes after adding purple sweet potatoes, it will become different?

In addition to purple, it should be possible to make other colors, such as red, yellow, green, blue, etc. If you can find a few more colorful fruits and vegetables to turn the soft cake into a colorful one, it is definitely the only one in Changping County , and after adding a few more colors, it is not easy for others to guess how their soft cakes became so colorful.

Under the expectant eyes of Old Madam Li, Jiang Zhiyun sorted out her thoughts and spoke out.

Then, Old Madam Li looked at Jiang Zhiyun with a strange look, which made Jiang Zhiyun feel a little nervous, thinking what happened to her mother-in-law?

Old Madam Li clicked her tongue twice and shook her head: "Old man, how did you grow your brain? Is it because of reading that you want to get so many ideas?"

Mrs. Li was really curious. Not long after Li Chengshi and Jiang Zhiyun got married, she actually hated Jiang Zhiyun for a while. She thought that this daughter-in-law couldn’t carry her on her shoulders or lift her hands. Not a country woman.

Later, the third child joined the army when she was pregnant, and there was no news for two years. At first, she was worried that this good-looking daughter-in-law would run away with others because she was afraid that the third child would die and become a widow, but Jiang Zhiyun persisted. Those who live in seclusion just stay at home and take care of their children, which has changed the old lady Li's attitude towards her a lot.

As she got along more and more, Jiang Zhiyun gradually became Granny Li's favorite daughter-in-law. At this moment, Granny Li wanted to know if women who had studied were really different.

Hearing Mrs. Li's doubts, Jiang Zhiyun couldn't help but smiled: "Mom, what I'm talking about is just cleverness, you can't get on the stage, you have to work hard to make money, it's nothing."

"Why is it called nothing? Where is it nothing!" Mrs. Li disagreed, "Just ask any woman or daughter-in-law in our village, who can come up with these ways to make money, only you have a brilliant mind, Not because of reading but because of what?"

After thinking for a while, Jiang Zhiyun replied: "I guess it has nothing to do with reading. I can't understand serious books. You also know that I have embroidery work in embroidery workshops and clothing stores. I usually read travel notes when I have nothing to do. What, find some inspiration for embroidery, it may be related to the travel notes I usually read."

Jiang Zhiyun felt that she had a lot of ideas, which should be related to travel notes. Travel notes are all written about the customs of other places, and some of the author's own opinions. After reading a lot, it seems that she also went to those places and learned about it. The author's thoughts give her a wider field of vision than the women who stay in the backyard all day.

Old Madam Li had never read the travel notes that Jiang Zhiyun was talking about, and she didn't know what travel notes were, but she understood what Jiang Zhiyun said, which meant that the idea of ​​making money one after another came from a book called travel notes.

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted a few words related to travel notes, Mrs. Li gave up understanding this unknown field, and discussed with Jiang Zhiyun what she was better at—besides purple sweet potatoes, what other fruits and vegetables could be used for soft cakes? dyeing.

Mrs. Li thinks that green is the easiest to find. Most vegetables are green. If you find vegetables with a lighter taste and add juice to soft cakes, you can make green.

Secondly, yellow is also relatively easy to find. The colors of pumpkin, sweet potato, and yellow corn all tend to be yellow. You can try to add which flavor is the best.

It seems that red is not so easy. Mrs. Li has heard people say that beetroot is red, but it is not easy for people in the south to find beetroot. In addition, red yeast rice is red, but it is even more difficult to get. I heard that it is used in wine making, and those who know how to do it will cover this craft tightly, and will not reveal the slightest bit.

These red coloring agents are not easy to get. Mrs. Li set her sights on the wild fruit, thinking of finding a red wild fruit to dye the soft cake.

In addition to red, you also need to look for blue and cyan ones. Mrs. Li remembers that there is a kind of wild plum on the mountain that is blue, and she will go to the mountain to look for it in summer to see if she can find it.

Mrs. Li said all the messy things she was thinking, but Jiang Zhiyun suddenly said: "Mother, the color of purple sweet potatoes is actually blue if you look closely."

"Huh?" Mrs. Li was at a loss. Didn't she say that purple potatoes are purple before? How could she say that they are blue?

Jiang Zhiyun didn't explain, she asked Mrs. Li to wait a while, and she would be able to see if it was blue in a while.

There were no more purple potatoes and rice steaming in the pot at this moment. Jiang Zhiyun found a small purple potato alone, cut it into small pieces and threw it into the water to cook. After a while, she scooped out the water in the pot and put it Into the white ceramic bowl, sure enough, the water in the bowl looks a light blue.

The old lady Li's eyes were wide open, how this, this purple turned into blue, and how the old three's ones looked like they were juggling, it's amazing.

Jiang Zhiyun usually does embroidery work, and is very sensitive to the color of the embroidery thread. Once she makes a mistake in a certain color, although the entire embroidery will not be destroyed, the effect will be affected, changing from high-grade to medium-grade.

Therefore, she was able to distinguish the color of the purple potato. Under Jiang Zhiyun's operation, Mrs. Li saw that because of the length of cooking time and the number of purple potatoes, the color of the water that was scooped out was different. In the human eye, it is a mixture of blue and purple.

Therefore, Jiang Zhiyun also thought of a way to deal with red. It doesn't have to be a very positive red like red paper, as long as it has a light red color, and the other colors are the same.

Sometimes the color of the food in the mouth is too dark and it is easy to make people feel that it is not suitable for eating in the mouth. The lighter color is much better, especially it is very popular with young men and women.

Mrs. Li and Jiang Zhiyun's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked about their excitement. They looked at the pot full of purple potato water, and decided to try to make blue soft cakes with purple potatoes. If it succeeds, then They told Li Chengzhi at night and asked him if he wanted to sell this colorful soft cake in the shop.

The afternoon passed quickly. Li Mingde and Bai Zhiwen exchanged articles and discussed together. After doing the daily basic homework, it was time for dinner, and Bai Zhiwen left in time to go home.

Li Mingjin also finished the "teaching test" of Li Mingyue and Li Mingkang's three hundred thousand, gave each of them a piece of soft cake, and then prepared to eat after playing for a while.

Li Chengzhi and the others continued to sell rice noodles during dinner time, and they had to wait until the last round of rice noodles had been sold, and the three of them would return to the outside of the village when it was almost dark. Granny Li and the others brought it out.

The work on the stove is familiar to Mrs. Li and the others. After the light blue-purple soft cake was successfully made, they tried the light yellow soft cake with pumpkin and the light green soft cake with vegetable juice.

There are three different colors of soft cakes, not only the color is different, but also the texture and taste change. The light blue soft cake has the sweetness of purple sweet potato, the light yellow soft cake increases the chewiness of pumpkin, and the light green soft cake The soft cake has the fragrance of vegetable leaves.

When the soft cake was brought to the table, the eyes of the children lit up, staring straight at the soft cake, especially Li Mingkang looked the most greedy, as if he was about to drool.

Li Mingjin looked at these soft cakes, and was quite moved. He secretly rejoiced that his afternoon soft cakes were eaten by his younger brothers and sisters, and he could eat a few more mouthfuls later.

Jiang Zhiyun didn't add sugar to the usual soft cakes, but this time since they were going to be made and sold, she added a lot of sugar as appropriate to make the soft cakes taste sweeter.

Sure enough, after eating the soft cake, the children liked it even more.

The new soft cake has directly become the first favorite of the children in the family. After eating the ones in their own bowls, they stare at the undistributed ones on the plate.

Jiang Zhiyun shook her head at them with a smile: "Okay, you guys eat obediently. If you want to eat, you can eat tomorrow."

They made a lot of soft cakes today, Li Chengzhi and Bai Xiuhe won't be able to eat a few pieces when they come back later, and they can leave a lot for the children to eat tomorrow.
