Chapter 117 A bowl of hot porridge in the morning
"Then let's get moving!"
"Daguo and Xiaoxinxin, go beat the egg whites!"
"Xiaoyuan and Xiaomao are going to the village head to buy a bag of charcoal. Here are the copper coins."
"Ergou follows me and does odd jobs."
"Yes! Master!"
Everyone was busy with their own work, and there was no technical content anyway.
Yu Baibai led them to make traditional cakes, bread rolls and date cakes.
For these two things, you only need to pay attention to beating the egg whites and the heat.
There was plenty of space for cream, so she whipped it and put it in there. She decided to roll it up before leaving tomorrow.
She wants to put a strawberry in the roll to make it taste better.
It just so happened that the blacksmith delivered the cake print mold that Yu Baibai had ordered yesterday.
After the bread rolls are rolled up, they are printed with patterns, which makes them look high-end and classy.
There were more people, so we could cook more. The first pot came out in half an hour.
The freshly baked pastries were sweet and delicious, and soon attracted many people to lean over the wall outside to smell the aroma.
"Are these kids making that cake again? Have they had lunch yet?"
The village head finished his own work and was worried about these children. When he came over, he saw a group of people here and a fragrant smell.
Yu Batian and his second son Yu Youjin were also here. When they saw the headman coming, they hurried forward:
"Village head, my eldest grandson is in there. Look how delicious the food they made is!"
Yu Batian was so proud of himself because his eldest grandson was there.
The village head stood on tiptoe to look inside, but saw nothing:
"Why did that old man build the wall so high? I can't see anything!"
Yu Batian almost couldn't help himself. The grandfather loves his granddaughter, but you old man have too many things to do:
"Li Zheng, you won't go in?"
The village head rolled his eyes at him and said, "They're busy, why are you going in there to make a fuss? Go do what you need to do!"
Just as they were about to leave, Yu Baibai's voice came from inside:
"Is it the village head?"
The village head quickly put on a smile: "Hey! It's me, it's me!"
"Wait a minute, village head!" Yu Baibai's voice came from far away.
After a while, the door opened and the little girl, wearing a small apron, smiled like a flower:
"Everyone's here! Village head, we need some clean straw baskets! I'll pay one copper coin for a basket without a lid, and two copper coins for a basket with a lid."
After saying this, he shook the small basket in his hand.
"What? This is what you have in your hand?"
"hold head high!"
The head of the village waved his hand and said, "We are all family, why should we charge any money?"
Yu Baibai said in a strong tone, "No, Village Chief, this is my business and my apprentices' business. We want to make money! And we will want more in the future!"
If you don’t make it clear, there will be a lot of trouble in the future!
And the profits from the disciples must also be clearly divided.
"Well, Baibai is more thoughtful."
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Village Chief, I need a few more ovens. Let's build a house next to my yard and put a few more ovens inside."
The village head nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I'll find someone to start the work."
"Mr. Lizheng, let's go inside and talk in detail."
After entering the house, the old man and the young boy started chatting.
Yu Baibai talked to the head of the village about some things that needed attention before leaving.
In the end, the oven room was built outside Yu Baibai's courtyard, right next to Yu Baibai's courtyard wall.
The village head enclosed a piece of land for Yu Baibai, and the land originally intended for growing cabbage was directly requisitioned.
There are no vegetables planted on the right side, but it was circled by Mr. Qiao and construction started in the next few days.
He wants to build a house for himself next to Yu Baibai, and doesn't want to live with his two stinky sons!
Mr. Qiao, who can hunt wild game every day, is very arrogant!
No one eats wild game anymore, so they sell it all.
Including the skins he peeled off on the road, he sold them for about fifty or sixty taels!
I made more than twenty taels of silver from selling charcoal and kang plates these days.
Adding the remaining money, the headman now has more than ninety taels in his hand.
There are still a lot of dried vegetables, cabbage and meat in the warehouse, which can last at least for two months.
The village head finally breathed a sigh of relief and was no longer as panicked as he was at the beginning.
The most they have are firewood and charcoal, so they will definitely not freeze this winter.
It soon got dark.
No one here went to eat the big pot meal, so Grandpa Yu and Grandpa Qiao stewed a pot of cabbage for everyone.
At noon, everyone had some snacks to fill their stomachs. Now it was evening and everyone was hungry.
After everyone had a bowl of food and was full, they continued to bake cakes.
Yu Baibai and his apprentices have been busy since they came back and have done a lot.
After eating, they put the cut snacks into straw baskets.
When I went to the store this morning, most of the people I bought were snacks wrapped in oil paper. There weren't many of these expensive ones for sale.
It would be best to take it to a wealthy family and sell it tomorrow!
Rich families have seen the world and will definitely be able to sell it at a high price.
"Okay, everyone's been busy all day today and we're all tired. We have to go to town early tomorrow morning, so go back and get some rest."
"It's Master!"
"Master, please rest early too!"
The two guys who were beating egg whites felt like their arms had lost all feeling and were so tired!
Seriously! I probably won't be able to lift my arms tomorrow.
But when they thought about how the master was so young and could make several pots of snacks by himself, how could they not be able to handle it?
They had never seen so much money in their lives!
If you follow your master and work hard, you will definitely make a lot of money!
Yu Baibai was exhausted from being here today. She locked the door and went into the inner room. Just as she made the bed, she heard someone outside shouting:
"Swing! Open the door!"
Yu Baibai, wearing her own slippers, ran to open the door:
"Mom! Why are you here in the middle of the night?"
Qiao Mu: "I'm worried about you, right? I'll sleep with you!"
"Come in! It's still a bit cold at night."
The mother and daughter locked the door and went into the house, and fell asleep soon after.
The house is filled with the sweet smell of snacks, so warm!
-
The next morning, before dawn, Qiumu got up early.
She tiptoed out of the room, afraid of waking up the sleeping Yu Baibai.
There is a small stove and a small casserole outside, which are specially used to make soup for Yu Baibai.
Qiao Mu skillfully lit a fire and boiled water, preparing to make a pot of chicken porridge for Yu Baibai.
Qiao Mu washed the rice and put it into the pot, added appropriate amount of water, and then waited quietly for the rice grains to be cooked.
While the porridge was cooking, Qiumu was busy preparing other breakfast ingredients.
Soon, a gurgling sound came from the pot, and the aroma of rice porridge filled the entire courtyard.
Qiao Mu carefully lifted the lid of the pot and stirred it gently with a spoon to ensure that the rice porridge did not stick to the pot.
At this time, Yu Baibai also woke up. She rubbed her eyes and walked out of the room.
When she saw Qiumu busy, her heart was filled with warmth and touched.
"Mom, good morning!" Yu Baibai said with a smile.
"Baibai, wake up. Come and try the porridge mother cooked." Qiao Mu greeted him with a smile.
Yu Baibai walked to the table and picked up a bowl of steaming rice porridge. Her mouth was watering as she smelled the tempting aroma.
She couldn't wait to take a sip. The rice porridge was sweet and delicious, and the shredded chicken was not dry at all. She also had some pickles!
She just felt that her taste buds were greatly satisfied.
Finished a bowl very quickly!
With two boiled eggs in his pocket, he trotted to the gate of the compound.
