Lu Ping was breathing heavily, waving his hands in the air, muttering: "Catch me if you want to, but don't catch my sister."
A Jingling was awakened. He was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that he was dreaming. He immediately jumped out of bed, put on his clothes and ran to the kitchen, muttering as he ran.
"It's over, it's over. If you wake up late and can't cook, you still have to be beaten."
He ran to the door of the kitchen and saw a light inside. He pushed the door open and entered. The mist spread and softened Jiang Ning's face, making it look particularly gentle. He stared blankly at Jiang Ning who was cooking, not sure what he saw before him. Is your stepmother really... a person?
"What are you doing standing around? Come and have some porridge."
Jiang Ning's voice brought back Lu Ping's thoughts. He didn't dare to stay in the same room with Jiang Ning for a while. He went to wake up his younger brothers and sisters, turned around and ran away.
Jiang Ning ignored her eldest son's strange behavior and continued to concentrate on her own thing.
Mix diced cucumbers, diced carrots, and scrambled eggs together, add the seasonings from the game, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and sesame seeds, add a little sesame oil, grab a handful of rice, mix it, and shape it into a circle. Ball, then squeeze it tightly, wrap a small piece of cabbage on the outside, and the ancient version of simple rice balls is ready.
Similar operations, Jiang Ning also made triangles, stars and moon shapes. This was the most convenient thing she could think of and food that didn't need to be kept warm.
The three brats who were secretly lying at the door and peeking were already drooling. Jiang Ning heard her stomach growling at the stove. She suddenly turned around and saw the expressions on their faces. Surprised and embarrassed after being caught, he smiled and asked the two of them to try the new food.
Each person has a bowl of millet porridge, paired with the tea eggs she just boiled in the morning, and each person adds a rice ball.
Lu Ping and Lu Sheng ate it in twos and threes. Lu Yuan was given a star rice ball. She bit off a corner. She couldn't bear to finish such delicious and beautiful food, so she ate it in small bites.
After Jiang Ning finished eating, she saw Lu Yuan's reluctance to part with it, so she immediately got another one for her.
"Er Nier, come here, you worked hard yesterday carrying Xiao Yao. I will reward you with a rice ball. If you can't eat it, keep it first. Lu Ping, you also worked hard yesterday. Come and give you another rice ball. Lu Sheng, did you not cry yesterday? If you are very obedient, I will reward you."
Jiang Ning pretended not to notice the red eyes of the three of them and put the rice balls in front of them. She didn't like such a sensational occasion.
"You guys put away the dishes after you've finished. Call me when you're done. I'll go pack the things you want to sell first."
A clean cloth was placed in the basket, and the rice balls were wrapped in a piece of cloth. In another basket, there was an earthenware pot, and in the earthenware pot were tea eggs with soup.
Lu Ping was responsible for carrying the pole, with tea eggs in front and rice balls at the back. Jiang Ning helped to hold the pole to balance the weight. Lu Yuan held Lu Sheng. The four of them set off before dawn again, swapping with Lu Ping along the way. Picking and carrying them, the three of them finally saw an ox cart when they were all desperate. Jiang Ning stopped the ox cart and took the two children for a carpool ride. Finally, they arrived at the county seat just before Shen Shizheng.
Jiang Ning chose a stall selling wontons. He put a few rice balls of different shapes on a white cloth cushion. He took out the earthen pot and opened the lid. A stream of hot air mixed with the aroma of tea spurted out and slowly spread.
Old man Wang, who was eating wontons, smelled the smell first, and followed the smell and saw Jiang Ning and his party.
"How do you sell these tea eggs?"
"Old man, two cents each."
"Only two cents each?" Old Man Wang couldn't believe it. After all, ordinary eggs cost two cents each, and these were still tea eggs.
Old Man Wang didn't wait for Jiang Ning to answer, and directly threw two pennies to her. He looked at the earthen pot, selected a tea egg that he thought was the largest, opened a small opening, and peeled off the entire shell. The surface of the egg was The texture was beautiful, and the juice was juicy and eggy after one bite. He immediately finished most of the remaining portion in one bite. I turned around and went to Jiang Ning's stall, planning to buy ten of them and eat them slowly.
"What is this white thing of yours? It doesn't look like you are eating here."
Jiang Ning picked up the rice ball, broke it in the middle, and handed it to Old Man Wang.
"My husband works in the escort agency. When he sent the escort to the capital, he saw the one he brought back to me. It tasted quite good. I studied it and made it. You old man, try it and see how it goes."
Old Man Wang took half of it and tasted it. It was surprisingly delicious. You could tell how the rice balls were made at a glance. It was just rice with some dishes, but it turned out to be so delicious.
"Bring me ten tea eggs and ten of these rice balls."
Old man Wang never eats alone. Whenever he eats something delicious outside, he will bring a portion to his wife and children at home.
People who were attracted by the aroma of tea, seeing Uncle Wang's reaction, were curious and bought a rice ball to try. After tasting it, they came back to sell several more. Especially the star-shaped rice balls sold the fastest.
Jiang Ning didn't expect that the rice balls would be sold faster than the tea eggs. Both tea eggs and rice balls cost three cents each. He earned more than three hundred cents in the morning. The ingredients were free, which was equivalent to making more than three hundred cents in vain.
Looking at the empty basket, the four of them were very happy. Jiang Ning was very satisfied with this first battle and waved his hand at the three brats.
"Children, go home!"
