"I don't sell rice balls because I want to teach you how to eat new food. Take out the things in the basket and boil the water in the pot."
What else did Lu Ping want to say? Jiang Ning didn't give him a chance. She didn't intend to explain the matter clearly. Reasoning was not as profound as direct immersive experience. She arranged work for all three cubs.
The hot water was boiled, and the four of them washed up briefly. The three boys gave Jiang Ning the money they received from selling rice balls in the afternoon, a total of more than 60 Wen. Jiang Ning threw away half of it as capital, and gave them the remaining 30 Wen.
After the three boys had spent all their money, Jiang Ning announced that the new food was called brown sugar glutinous rice cake.
Grind the glutinous rice into flour, stir while heating water, and knead into a smooth dough. Divide the dough into equal pieces. Knead the dough into a thick middle and thin on the sides. Add the brown sugar filling mixed with flour and brown sugar. Then sprinkle with black and white sesame seeds, wrap it up and press it into a pancake shape, fry slowly over low heat until both sides are golden brown.
Jiang Ning first made four pancakes to demonstrate to them. After frying them, they put them on a plate to dry. Lu Sheng lay on the stove and stared at the pancakes in the bowl. His memory of egg pancakes told him that his stepmother made them. The cakes are all delicious.
Lu Ping squatted by the fire to help add firewood, pretending to be casual and asked: "Where did you come up with these foods?"
Jiang Ning had long expected that she would be asked, so she naturally made up the answer.
"When I was a kid, I used to go to a barefoot doctor in the village. He could tell stories, especially about food. Every time he talked about it, my mouth watered. Unfortunately, I don't know where he went, but the food he talked about were all It’s stuck in my mind.”
"The brown sugar glutinous rice cake is ready to dry. Call your younger brothers and sisters to come and eat."
When you bite into it, it's crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside. Brown sugar mixed with sesame seeds goes into your mouth, and the glutinous rice cake is pulled out of pieces. It's so delicious that you narrow your eyes.
"Wow, it's so delicious." Lu Sheng ate with a mouth full of brown sugar.
His way of eating was different from the other three. He first sucked out the excess brown sugar, and finally put the glutinous rice cake into his mouth. It was too big and the glutinous rice was a little sticky. Lu Sheng could see that he was eating with all his strength, and he was almost eaten. Choked.
Jiang Ning took a bite. It was sweet but not greasy, glutinous and burnt. The brown sugar, glutinous rice and sesame seeds were all taken from the game. All the ones she sold were piled in the game warehouse. This game was beyond her expectation. It is so convenient that items sold in the real world can be put into the game's warehouse, and will even be automatically converted into game quality levels based on the quality of the item, making it easier for her to buy and sell in the game.
"What do you think it tastes like? How about selling this tomorrow!"
"Sell this, just sell this, this is delicious!" Lu Sheng shouted excitedly.
Lu Ping and Lu Yuan were even more confident. They were unhappy because they didn't have rice balls, so they flew away with the brown sugar.
Brown sugar glutinous rice cakes still have to be hot to taste. Jiang Ning and her four children got up early the next day. Lu Ping and Lu Yuan made glutinous rice cakes. Jiang Ning was in charge of frying them. Lu Sheng stood by and put the fried glutinous rice cakes into the basket. In order to prevent The glutinous rice cakes are stuck together, and each layer of glutinous rice cakes is separated by cabbage leaves.
Picking up the pole, the four of them set off in the dark again. Lu Yuan was thinking about what she would say when the sales started. The closer she got to the county seat, the more excited she became, but the reality gave her a blow.
A strange man appeared where they were yesterday, selling the same rice balls as them.
Lu Ping immediately put down his pole and was about to talk to the man, but Jiang Ning grabbed him and took the three of them to the corner.
"This is the reason why I stopped you from making rice balls yesterday. Rice balls are easy to make. Anyone who cares can understand how to make them by just looking at them. If you are willing to spend the money, they can taste better than ours.
"Then we obviously took the position first, so we just gave it to him like this?" Lu Sheng lowered his head and murmured aggrievedly.
Jiang Ning pinched Lu Sheng's chin, asked him to raise his head, and continued to analyze the three of them.
"The government has never said that whoever occupies it belongs to whom. It has always been occupied casually. That person has obviously been eyeing us for a long time. He is borrowing the reputation of our rice balls to do business. If there are not many customers to buy, I asked, thinking it was someone else."
"Do you have any ideas on how to deal with this kind of person and this kind of thing?" Jiang Ning paused for a while, waiting for the three people to react.
"Put the stall near his stall, and I'll go and shout. The people selling rice balls will all know us, and the customers will know who the real owner is at a glance."
After Lu Ping finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Ning eagerly, like a student waiting for test results.
"What do you two think of the boss's method?"
"Will this make me an enemy?" Lu Sheng's small face was full of worry.
"Little brother, that person is already enmity with us by doing this. If we withdraw this time, no matter what we sell in the future, someone will bully us." Lu Ping explained, stroking the little brother's head.
"Yes, eldest brother is right. Don't worry, little brother. If something happens, your brothers and sisters will take care of them." Lu Yuan knew in his heart that Lu Sheng was afraid that they would not be able to offend others.
"Very good. Now that you three have an idea, let's follow this. There is a small place next to the vegetable seller outside. It's enough to put the baskets. Lu Ping, you move the baskets there, and Lu Yuan, you are responsible for greeting the guests. Lu Sheng, please remember to serve a large amount to the guests, and wrap the extra ones in cabbage leaves. I will go and give instructions and we will split up."
