at dusk.
The setting sun falls on the roof and shines on the yard.
Cheng Wanwan and Cao Yingying came out with small bowls. The milky white block cheese gave off a rich milky aroma.
Zhao Sidan asked curiously: "Mom, what is this?"
Cheng Wanwan smiled and said: "Don't you like drinking goat's milk? I made some snacks. You can try it."
"Children only drink milk. I'm not a child." Zhao Sidan put the cheese to his lips with a spoon. The smell of milk became stronger and there was a faint sour taste. "Mom, I feel like this thing is broken. ?”
Wu Huiniang sniffed it gently: "It has a sour smell, but it's just a nice sour smell."
Zhao Sanniu had already picked up the bowl and poured the cheese into his mouth. His eyes suddenly widened: "It's delicious. It's so delicious. Soft, sour, sweet, and slippery. How come it's so delicious?" Delicious food!”
Zhao Sidan couldn't wait to take a bite. He didn't even swallow the food before he started to exclaim: "It's really delicious. Big brother, second brother and sister-in-law, please try it quickly, quickly, quickly!"
Shen Zheng sneered lightly: "Look at you, you look like you have never seen the world. Isn't it just a snack made of goat's milk?"
When he was a child, his grandmother would sometimes go to a restaurant to buy some pastries made from goat's milk and eat them just like that, with nothing to say.
He took a casual taste, and when the soft cheese entered his mouth, he was stunned.
It tastes like tofu, but is more tender and smooth than tofu. The aroma is mellow, and the milky aroma and slight sourness blend together, giving the mouth a very different enjoyment. He has never eaten snacks with this taste. It is like opening up a new world. A piece of cheese couldn't satisfy his taste buds at all. He wanted to eat a few more pieces, but there were no more.
Ah Fu swallowed his saliva and handed over his share: "Young Master, eat it."
Shen Zheng snorted: "How can I, Master Shen, lose face if I fight for food with a bookboy like you? Eat quickly, it's so sloppy."
Cao Yingying lowered her head and took a small sip, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
She actually didn't have high expectations for goat milk products. Her family's cook could make them, and they were made in royal style.
She had eaten many kinds of goat milk snacks, and had long since lost her appetite for them. But as soon as she took a bite, she knew that this snack was not simple, and that ordinary peasant women would not be able to make such a thing.
Goat milk has a smell, which is more acceptable in the north. Northerners have various ways of eating goat milk, and gradually they also have ways to deal with the smell. The goat milk cooked by Aunt Zhao does not have any fishy smell. Taste, I must have been to the north, probably the capital. Because of my wide knowledge, I must be able to make such dim sum.
After Cao Yingying came here, there was still a trace of slight contempt, but after eating this cheese, all her contempt disappeared and was replaced by respect.
Aunt Zhao is most likely a daughter of a large family who lives in the village. The Cao family became rich later, so in terms of family background, she is definitely not as good as Aunt Zhao.
Cheng Wanwan had no idea that she just made a snack common in modern society, which caused a big drama in the little girl's mind.
Zhao Ergou had a new idea in his mind: "Mom, the cheese is delicious, we can cooperate with Baiweizhai."
"You, you think about making money all day long." Cheng Wanwan said with a smile, "This ewe is prepared for the child in your sister-in-law's belly. That is, you can only eat these before the child is born. Wait for the baby." As soon as I was born, it was no longer your turn, let alone selling it for money. Now the business you are doing is slowly expanding and it is also a big business, so you should take care of the things you are doing first."
Zhao Ergou took a sip of water.
The braised food business we are currently doing can actually be done without him.
These days, the eldest brother and Sanniu are delivering goods, and they are doing very well, so he can totally spare time.
He still wanted to think about doing something else.
If he does more business, he can save more money. He can't wait to buy a shop that belongs to their family.
Zhao Ergou rubbed his chin and started thinking.
Cheng Wanwan carried the bucket to the front yard. It would be evening, so it was time to water.
The courtyard wall was two meters high, and she secretly placed wires in a slot in the middle, enclosing the entire courtyard. There were no green bricks under the courtyard wall near the corners, firstly to facilitate conduction of electricity, and secondly to plant flowers.
She chose some common flower species that are easy to grow, such as roses, hollyhocks, dahlias, zinnias, roses... These flowers have different flowering periods and bloom intermittently. From spring to autumn, the yard will be filled with floral fragrance.
After watering the flowers, go to the backyard to water the vegetables.
Autumn is suitable for planting radishes and Chinese cabbage. These will mature in winter and are the only green vegetables that can be eaten in winter.
The door of the backyard faces the forty acres of wasteland behind. The wasteland is full of weeds, and the soil on the ground is mixed with small stones accumulated over time. Therefore, it is not easy to open up wasteland. Villagers generally do not buy wasteland unless they have a last resort.
When the pond is opened in winter, the soil will be more difficult to dig, but it is not possible until winter, because there is more rain in autumn, and digging a small hole will accumulate rainwater, making it difficult to dig deeper later.
There is little rain in winter, so the lotus ponds are dug out during the non-raining season. When the spring rains come, the lotus ponds are fertilized and water-filled for planting, and the matter is considered complete.
Cheng Wanwan planned step by step what to do next at home, methodically and gradually.
She has always been a person who takes things one step at a time. She can't rush anything. She takes her time. Life is still long, so why rush.
The new house is very quiet at night. I can hear the mountain breeze, the chirping of birds, the chirping of insects, and the cries of chickens, ducks and geese in the backyard. But I don't feel noisy, I just feel at ease.
As soon as there was light in the sky, Zhao Ergou got up.
Many days have passed since the incident at Yihong Building. He took over the delivery business again, mainly because he wanted to go around the town to see if he could find new business opportunities.
Xia Hua also went with her. Xia Hua was only twelve years old and relatively young. She wore more than a dozen handkerchiefs and followed Zhao Ergou obediently.
Zhao Ergou went to deliver the goods first, giving Jixiang Restaurant thirty or forty pounds, and gave the rest to Zuixianlou, who would then send a car to Zuixianlou elsewhere.
Delivering the goods with one hand and paying the money with the other, the silver purchased in one day would be more than twenty taels, and the net profit would be more than ten taels.
Xia Hua was stunned as she watched, she made so much money in one day, Brother Ergou is really awesome.
She looked at Ergou with admiration in her eyes.
Zhao Ergou puffed up his chest: "Let's go, let's take you to have a full stomach first, and then go to Xiuzhuang."
Xia Hua waved her hands quickly: "No, no need, I ate a pancake at home and I'm not hungry at all."
Zhao Ergou bought two meat buns and stuffed a summer flower into his hand.
Meat buns cost three cents each, which was really nothing to today's Zhao Ergou.
If my mother has something delicious, she will share it with her grandpa and grandpa, and if he has something delicious with his younger brothers and sisters, it is the same principle.
Xia Hua took the bun and took a small bite. She smelled a bit of meaty smell, but she couldn't bear to eat it. She wanted to take it back to her parents.
Zhao Ergou said: "After finishing the work later, I will buy some and take them back. You can eat quickly."
Xia Hua laughed.
Yes, she later exchanged the handkerchief for money. She should have a dozen copper coins, and she should be able to buy a few meat buns back.
She devoured the meat buns and followed Zhao Ergou into Xiuzhuang.
