Chapter 32
Chapter 32
The whole family? They all stood behind Huaxi, looking at him eagerly? Crush the blocky potato flour, add water and mix well, then pour it into a small pot, turn on the fire and keep stirring until After bubbling from white to translucent, quickly pour it into a large bowl that has been greased with a layer of oil.
As long as it is cooled and solidified, it is considered ready.
"Are you ready? Is it ready to eat?" It was Xiang'er who said the words, but she seemed to hear the sound of swallowing in unison.
Huaxi turned around and saw the wolf-like green light in the family's eyes, and couldn't help being happy.
"Tomorrow morning, I can't eat it now." Of course, you can wait until midnight to eat, and it should be solidified by then, but he can't get up.
Xiang'er let out a sigh of disappointment, "Big brother, I kept my stomach on purpose at night, just waiting to eat this." In the end, she still couldn't eat it. Maybe she couldn't sleep well this night.
Mrs. Zhang seemed to be the first to hear her good-looking granddaughter address Huaxi, so she hurriedly corrected the child's wrong name, "Wrong, wrong, I should call him little uncle." Otherwise? Seniority? It would be a mess.
Xiang'er blinked half-understanding, and looked at Ma Qing'er, then she already had two little uncles.
Ma Qinger licked her lips subconsciously, and looked away from the bowl of jelly, "Since you can't eat it, then go back to sleep."
"Are you proficient in addition and subtraction within a hundred?"
Ma Qing'er yawned for a while, and looked at Huaxi resentfully, "It's almost there." Every day when he comes back, there is a lot of work waiting for him? Before going to bed, he has to practice numbers according to Huaxi's requirements, so long Most of them have never lived such a fulfilling life.
"By the way, I almost forgot about being dizzy at your command this afternoon. This year's Tianji Festival, Lizheng? Ask you if you can? yawn.
"Jie Tianqing?" Mrs. Zhang looked at Mrs. Liu and the others suspiciously. She seemed to have completely missed it.
"In order to pray for good weather and a good harvest, the village will hold a heavenly festival at this time before the autumn harvest every three years."
"I remember that I was an apprentice in a big restaurant last time, the son of Aunt Tian's family." Logically speaking, he should still be looking for him this year? Yes, why did he change suddenly? Ma Dadong also looked confused.
"Is there a pay?"
"Of course there is, about 20 taels." If Ma Qing'er remembers correctly, Lizheng said this number at the time.
20 taels?Huaxi hesitated for a while, then answered decisively.Maybe this is an opportunity to make a name for yourself.He? Not only wants the snacks to be a must, but also the dishes are excellent.
"Master, are you busy with the feast for the whole village? I'm too tired, so don't agree." The young master has been tanned these days, and Mrs. Zhang didn't say anything, but her heart ached.Besides, it's hard enough to be busy selling stalls every day, and then go to the banquet that the whole village eats, that person? Will he faint from exhaustion?
"I have a sense of proportion. Ma Qing, take the time tomorrow to tell Li Zheng my decision. Okay, let's get up tomorrow morning and try new products together." Hua Xi moved his shoulders, and glanced at the room that Ma Qing'er had soaked in the afternoon. Pot of mung beans, went back to the house.
Once Huaxi's idea is made, no one? Can? You can persuade it. It's not a matter of principle, so Zhang's will not? Talk a lot and ask Ma Qing'er to mix a bucket of warm water and send it to Huaxi's house, while beating her own arm out of the kitchen.
Ma Qing'er responded sullenly, and Mrs. Liu reached out to help, but he stopped her and said, "Sister-in-law is tired enough today, it's just a bucket of water, I can still carry it."
"We'll all go out in a while, so you can wash it here and relieve fatigue." Mrs. Liu didn't force him? She pushed and pushed Ma Dadong and Xiang'er away.
Ma Qing'er forced a smile, resignedly scooped hot water from the hot water pot into the bucket, then mixed some cold water, and broke into Huaxi's room with both hands in her hands.
After entering the room, Hua Xi non-stop changed into the clothes he had cut before, feeling at ease, but was startled by Ma Qinger's sudden barge in.
"There are so many problems." Ma Qing'er left a sentence, put down the bucket and went out, did you forget to close the door.
Taking a bath every day is indeed a bit extravagant, and it is summer, so Huaxi changed it to use hot water to wipe it every day, otherwise, he would sweat all over the body every day, and after a long time, he would smell a bad smell.
This is what he can't bear the most.
"You don't know how dirty you are." Huaxi muttered indifferently, then happily wiped his body with a sweat towel dipped in hot water.
After Huaxi happily wiped her body, the bucket of water was poured out of the window, and the empty bucket was placed beside the bed.Then he put the pot of seven lixiang next to the head of the bed, lay on the bed uncovered, and fell asleep after a while, without bothering to think about what dishes to prepare for the banquet for offering sacrifices to Tianqing.
Busy days have not? Have not come to a standstill because of? Who.
The advent of potato jelly once again attracted the attention of the whole city.At the same time, a large number of stinky tofu appeared in the Yellow Crane Tower, which immediately solved the problem of being able to eat freshly cooked people.
In the past, they would send personal servants to buy them, but when they were brought back, they were a bit cold, and the taste was somewhat inferior to the freshly baked ones.
Huaxi also acted decisively, reducing the sales of stinky tofu again, and there was no trace of stinky tofu even in the snack cart.
Some are suitable for summer food.
The only thing that makes Huaxi feel regretful is that the chubby man who bought the stinky tofu recipe for the first time never appeared again, otherwise, if he sells a few more houses, wouldn't he have the start-up capital for the shop?
Why don't you come? It's a big deal for him? Ask for less price.
It's not surprising that the fat man didn't come.
The masked man also stayed silent for several days. At night, Huaxi went to bed late on purpose. As a result, there wasn't even a single fly in the quiet night. He had to yawn and ask Duke Zhou to go.
The bad thing is, they had to throw away the starry sky cakes they prepared.
On this day, as usual, all the food prepared in the snack cart was sold out. When I went back to buy some rice, flour, grain, oil and other things, I was told by the staff that the price had increased.
And the rise is not even a star.
After careful questioning, the buddy shook his head again and again. They were also notified by the shopkeeper in the morning. I don't know why.
Huaxi probably had a guess in his heart that the price of rice and grain had risen, one was that the country was about to go to war.The second is that I don't know where there is a famine.
They ran to the capital every day, and the patrolling soldiers looked the same as usual, without tension or tension, so it didn't look like there was going to be a war.
So there is only one possibility left?.
Natural disasters caused famine or unpredictable disasters.
Famine is okay, don’t cause it? Diseases like cholera, that’s troublesome.
Huaxi thinks further, and needs to plan ahead.
Did he? Explain more to Liu and Ma Qing'er, and bought more rice than expected in one breath.I filled up the space in the snack cart, and bought another cart of nearly a thousand catties of grain, and asked the rice and grain shop to deliver it.
Mrs. Liu? They were stunned. Why did they buy more after the price increase? Shouldn't they buy less?
Huaxi didn't answer their doubts immediately, but opened his mouth leisurely after leaving the city.
"It's cheap to buy now, just wait and see, don't you? Until you get accurate news, the price will only get higher and higher?"
"Will it? Can? What happened? There were price increases in previous years, but it didn't take long before it fell back. Is there any difference this year? It's really a waste of money." Ma Qinger said honestly Besides, people in their village seldom go to Beijing to buy food. After paying the tax, they keep the food for themselves, which is enough for them all.
If Huaxi did not appear suddenly this year, they probably bought it from the villagers.
Ma Qinger's words successfully attracted Huaxi's attention, "You mean? The price of food has never? Has there ever been a skyrocketing time?"
"Naturally? No? Yes, the emperors of all dynasties are wise and powerful. Even if the current regent acts as an agent of the government, nothing like you said has happened." So buying so much food is really a bit redundant, and it won't be long. Days, the price went back down.
This... What does Da Changchao have to say? It's really weird.
In the past dynasties of Huaguo, the peaceful and prosperous times were only three generations, but this great prosperity has been prosperous for hundreds of years, and there has never been a foolish king. What is even more shocking is that no matter whether there are more or fewer sons, there is no loss. Tomorrow's ambition is extremely peaceful.
In other words? That is, the author dares to write like this?
"Young master Xi has never touched these firewood, rice, oil and salt before. I don't know if it is normal. I bought it and put it away. Anyway, there is still such a big empty space in the cellar." Liu wiped off his sweat and looked for it for Huaxi. reason.
Huaxi shook his head, insisting on his point of view.
After all, this is a novel. The author must write something. Something happened.
In fact, he was really right to be bang by Huaxi's fart.
Within two days, the price rose again, and the common people belatedly noticed a different smell.They went to the rice store to buy food and stock up.
Ma Qing'er had a good taste of being slapped in the face.
Xishao's snack cart also chose to suspend business at this time, nestling in the village and watching the changes.
However, after a few more days, the rice store closed its doors tightly, and refused to sell even a grain of grain.
At this moment, a small group of refugees appeared around the mountain village, all of them were sallow and emaciated from hunger, their eyes were dull and lifeless, and they walked unsteadily towards the front, as if they were about to faint and die in the next moment.
Although the villagers felt pity, they did not dare to act rashly, and the doors of every house were closed.In this case, the storyteller has said that when the refugees are hungry to a certain extent, they no longer have any reason to speak of. Even if it is because of your pity, they will not be grateful, but will repay their kindness with revenge. A desperate snatch.
To be honest, Huaxi has only seen this kind of situation on TV, and it didn't have any visual impact at all.Seeing it with my own eyes now, no matter how hard-hearted they are, seeing their skinny appearance can give birth to compassion.
Especially in that group of refugees there are many children.
Looking at this group of people visually, there might be more than [-] people. Huaxi gritted his teeth, "Ma Qing, go and ask Li Zheng to come over, Mrs. Liu, boil water and cook porridge."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
