An Youyou obviously wanted to persuade Jiang Weiguo to return to the more stable job of beggar, but Jiang Weiguo no longer wanted to listen.

He chose to start cooking.

The kitchen utensils for beggars to cook are very simple, two fires, two clay pots, and three wooden spoons.

Because An Youyou's excellent begging skills, she can still buy some things that improve her quality of life while supporting 13 younger brothers.

Under An Youyou's management, there is no property to protect the dilapidated temple. It is enough to stuff the pottery jars into straw to hide them. Usually, there is no need to leave anyone to watch the dilapidated temple. Everyone has to work and go out to beg for food every day. There are many weeds in the suburbs, and keeping fire sources can easily cause fires, so you use matches to attract fires.

Qin Huai can see from my careful actions when using matches that their beggar team may have just this box of matches.

The clay pots are also new and old. The newer clay pots are An Youyou, and they are exclusive to the boss. Jiang Weiguo poured all the beans that An Youyou asked for, the rice and salted fish bought by the errands into the new clay pot, and lit firewood and cooked them in a pot.

The old pottery jars are a hodgepodge. One of the foods that everyone wants to eat is calculated. As long as there is no mold or bad, it is thrown in. Black beans, wild vegetables, rice bran, corn batter, black batter, sweet potatoes, meat in broth, rotten cabbage leaves, and even a finger-long fish that I don’t know which little guy caught from the river. It can barely be considered a hearty pot of stew.

Halfway through the stew, Jiang Weiguo took out a small bag of coarse salt from the straw pile and sprinkled it in. This behavior of sprinkling salt attracted An Youyou's strong dissatisfaction.

"Why don't salt be added to my portion?" An Youyou asked.

"Your porridge has salted fish, and salted fish is marinated with salt and is not short of salt. These are the cheapest coarse salt, which are bitter and salty. The salt on your salt is much better than this pack of coarse salt." Jiang Weiguo explained helplessly.

An Youyou was satisfied: "Of course, my salted fish is a high-end product with one copper plate and one copper plate, much better than those with two copper plates!"

Jiang Weiguo:...

Jiang Weiguo cooked silently and stopped talking. An Youyou squatted beside the two pots and waited. The other little brothers did not dare to get so close like the boss, so they could only squatted far away, holding the equally divided beans in their hands and eating one from time to time, staring at the pot with their eyes straight and swallowing silently.

As time went by, the aroma of the food cooked in the two clay pots became more and more intense. Qinhuai discovered that Jiang Weiguo's cooking skills were indeed good, and he was still a little skilled in being a handyman in a restaurant.

The clay pot belonging to An Youyou is essentially salted fish and bean porridge. The firewood under the clay pot is very high, and the boiling water porridge boils the salted fish to separate it. The originally disgusting fish smell has been completely wrapped in the rice porridge. Both the beans and white rice are cooked very softly, and almost every grain of rice is boiled. The strong rice fragrance is mixed with the aroma of beans, and the faint smell of salted fish will make people feel a bit like seafood porridge.

This heat level is quite excellent.

At least it is much better than Qinhuai.

Another hodgepodge looks less beautiful than salted fish porridge. It has too many ingredients and is not a good thing. The rotten vegetables leaves picked up by beggars are really rotten vegetables in the real physical sense, the kind that can't even enter the door of the vegetable market. In addition, the coarse salt that has not been purified, this hodgepodge can make modern people swallow it successfully.

Of course, picky belongs to modern people. Everyone present, including An Youyou, is already drooling at the clay pot.

An Youyou's saliva was very restrained. After all, she was the boss and could not be as unprosperous as her younger brother.

"Thirteen, are you really planning to be a handyman in that Fuji in the future?" An Youyou stared at her salted fish porridge, hoping to serve a few bowls of salty rice, "Isn't you really begging for dinner with me?"

"You are the smartest among so many people I have picked up. They can't cooperate with me, and they can even hold me back. We cooperate together, and we may be able to beg for food and go to the concession if we are lucky."

Speaking of the concession, An Youyou took out a cloth bag from his arms and took out the white pounds for Jiang Weiguo to show: "Today a young man gave me a piece of this thing, which seemed to be a currency, but I don't recognize the words on it, please help me see."

Jiang Weiguo glanced at the pound, didn't answer, and said, "This is the pound."

"British pound? British money?" An Youyou picked up the pound and looked at the fire of firewood for a few times. "That should be quite valuable. If I had known that I was crying a little more miserable, I would have given me more."

Jiang Weiguo:...

"How much is this one worth?"

"Two pounds, according to the black market, should be worth more than 20 yuan." Jiangwei National Highway.

An Youyou took a breath and looked at the pounds in her hand as if she saw the God of Wealth, and she almost paid them up: "After twenty yuan, wouldn't I be rich!"

"How to exchange money? Where is the black market? How to go?"

"I just said there is a future for begging for food. You only have a lot of money this month. I want to eat for two years a day!"

Jiang Weiguo calmly stirred salted fish porridge with a wooden spoon, and ignored An Youyou. After pulling out two pieces of firewood to turn the fire into a small fire, he slowly said: "Since you are getting rich, should you consider renting a house?"

"It's okay to sleep in the dilapidated temples in summer. At most, you can get bitten by mosquitoes. If you are unlucky, you will be bitten by snakes. It's autumn now, and the weather is not cold. You can barely survive by covering straw at night."

"It will be different when winter begins. Let's not be both ten years younger than 4 years old, and she is still a girl. She will definitely not survive this winter with just a single coat and straw. I know that the winter in the Magic City is not as cold as Peking, but I know that if people in Peking don't dare to go out in winter, the whole family may freeze to death at home if they share a quilt."

"A beggar may starve to death if he doesn't go out to beg for a day. If he still lives in this place in winter, everyone will have to starve to death or freeze to death."

An Youyou frowned when she heard this: "Why is it so expensive to raise people?"

"Last time, the mistress and the waiter were broken, and I spent a lot of money. But the waiter was still dead. I could only pick up a new waiter and come back."

"Thirteen before you told him that he should not eat bad and smelly things. He would not die of hunger. He would not listen. He would eat them secretly and would have diarrhea to death."

"Xiao Shi, who was begging for food, couldn't speak, and he was killed by the chest and vomiting blood on the spot."

"And the Xiaoyi, Xiaosan, Xiaosi, Xiaoqi, Xiaoba, Xiaosi, Xiaosi, Xiaosi, Xiaosi, Xiaosi, Xiaosi, Xiaosi, Xiaosi, Xiaosi, Xiaosi, Xiaosi, Xiaosi, and Xiaosi, who either died of illness or were beaten to death. You said that winter was cold. In fact, winter was not that cold, and you could survive even if you made a fire."

"It really counts like this. At the beginning, I found that I only had Xiaojiu until now."

Jiang Weiguo listened expressionlessly, silently stirring the hodgepodge in the clay pot.

"I also thought about whether to rent a house. It's really uncomfortable to sleep in this dilapidated temple. Who likes to sleep on the ground if you can sleep on the bed? But renting a house is too expensive. There are only these houses in the suburbs. If you want to live in so many people, I will squeeze in and sleep in one room, and you will have at least a large amount of rent every month!"

"A big ocean!"

"Do you know how much salted fish and rice can you buy?"

"Those rickshaw drivers only earn one or two yuan a month. It's better to have some money to rent a house than to eat."

"The porridge is ready." Jiangwei National Highway.

An Youyou was ecstatic and took out the bowl from her arms, waved to a younger brother, signaling her to go to the river to clean the bowl, and then took out the steamed buns that she hadn't been willing to finish just now and continued eating with hot porridge.

After the younger brother finished washing the dishes, An Youyou handed the bowl to Jiang Weiguo. Jiang Weiguo gave her a full bowl of salted fish porridge. The salted fish that could be caught were basically all into An Youyou's bowl, which shows An Youyou's status as the boss.

Jiang Weiguo took out his broken bowl and served half a bowl of porridge for himself. Then he signaled the other guys to come forward. Everyone lined up in an orderly manner to make the meal, each with a spoonful of hodgepodge and a little salted fish porridge.

Everyone is not afraid of eating wildly.

An Youyou's Light Speed ​​CD, because he was the eldest, he restrained himself from licking the bowl. He told me to go to wash the dishes. The rest of me began to organize the straw in the dilapidated temple. Leave the softest straw and the most windproof good position for An Youyou.

An Youyou sat next to the fire that had not yet been extinguished, looking at the busy figures of the little brothers, watching the 4-year-old Xiaoshi slapped the straw hard, and wanted to make the straw softer, so that An Youyou would feel much more comfortable when she went to bed at night.

"Is renting a house really more cost-effective than buying a quilt directly?" An Youyou asked, "You can buy a quilt in winter and spring, but it won't cost much money."

"There is a bed in the house." Jiang Weiguo said a reason that An Youyou could not refuse, "and if you are willing to spend a little more, you can rent a kitchen with a stove in the kitchen so that you don't have to eat the cooked paste or salted fish porridge every day, you can eat stir-fry dishes."

"The boss of Fuji is really stingy. He would rather pour the leftovers than leave them to the beggars, and would not allow the restaurant's shop to secretly take them home. But this is actually a method. Although this practice has been criticized, it has made Fuji famous in a short period of time. Many high-ranking officials and nobles like to go to Fuji for dinner."

"So although Fuji's boss seems to be very stingy and strict, his strictness is only directed at the waiter. He usually turns a blind eye to the chefs and handymen in the kitchen. Fuji's chef Master Ding is a very kind person. As long as I can catch his eyes, I believe I can become a chef in Chedun soon."

"By then, not only will I have three o'clock salary per month, but I will also have two meals. I am likely to bring back the scraps that were not used up in the kitchen that day. Then you can eat stir-fry every day."

An Youyou looked at Jiang Weiguo very unhappy: "I obviously don't want to rent a house, why do you have to tell me? I want to rent everything you said."

"It's going to cost money again, the money I finally saved."

"I beg for food every day. Every time I finally saved a little money, I had all kinds of things to spend, either curing the disease, or treating the disease. Why is it so difficult for people to support them? Why do you have to live in a house!" An Youyou complained loudly in a very unhappy manner.

"I would have known that I wouldn't have picked up so many, I'd have to pick up 6."

Jiang Weiguodao: "When are you planning to see the house?"

"Tomorrow." An Youyou said angrily, "I will go to the black market to change the ocean first, and then I will have to eat for half a day, and then go to see the house."

"What kind of cooking you are talking about is the ones sold in restaurants?"

"Yes." Jiang Weiguo nodded.

"Then are the same as those in restaurants?"

"Unless it is a big restaurant like Fuji, I will be confident that I can do better than them." Jiang Wei Guodao.

An Youyou rolled her eyes: "Just brag, why can't you think about such a good eloquence and go to the restaurant to work. How great is it to beg for dinner with me?"

"Look at you like me, you can read, calculate, work, and have skills. Although you talk a little less, you can still speak when it's time to speak. The most important thing is that you will also look at the noble people's eyes and will not be easily beaten to death."

"You are better than me. I can't write, you can write."

"If you have such good conditions, you should beg for dinner with me!"

Jiang Weiguo:...

Qin Huai saw a deep speechlessness on Jiang Weiguo's face.

"Actually, I don't understand." Jiang Weiguo said, "Why do you know how to read, calculate, have good eloquence, and can beat, but you are so persistent in being a beggar."

"Even if you are a woman who is not easy to make a living, you can't see your gender every day. You should be able to find many better jobs than begging. Even if you just want to beg for a shop as a accountant, it's more decent than now."

An Youyou opened her eyes wide and said angrily: "Can you compare the beggar by settlement?"

"The accountant is a dead salary. She sits in the shop every day and every day to settle accounts with the abacus. She is blind, and she only has two or three oceans a month."

"Don't look down on begging, okay, if it's not for me, can you support you? Look at those people besides you, who can ask for something?"

"You don't go outside to inquire about it. Who has the reputation of so many beggars who are better than me? I have so many younger brothers under my command, so I don't ask you to offer sacrifices, and I don't force you to cheat and cheat. I don't steal money, rob money, abduct women, and do not join gangs as thugs. How many others can support so many younger brothers?"

"I'm the only one!"

"Although my brothers are a little faster, they can't blame me for their death. One day, shouldn't we die in Shanghai? If I become a accountant, can I support these dozen people?"

"Then why do you want to support us?" Jiang Weiguo asked.

"Because I am the boss!" An Youyou looked up proudly, "You don't know what I was before, I'm more younger brothers!"

"I'm the boss. If I don't have 10 and 8 brothers, how can I be worthy of my name? Of course, I have to support my younger brother. Do you think I was begging for the beginning? I also thought about robbing."

"Isn't this impossible to beat? How can I fight with a gun on the other side?"

"And it's useless to raise me. Although nothing else is possible except you, what if I want to eat in a few years? Then every me will give me a piece of ocean every month, and I will make a net profit of 13 yuan a month without doing anything."
