Chapter 7: A business with ten dollars
Xu Jingsi was a little excited. With only a dozen yuan, you can do business worth more than a dozen yuan!
Thinking of this, she ate the noodles quickly without taking a rest. She asked the noodle shop owner the direction of the farmer's market, and then ran away.
It was quite a long walk, but Xu Jingsi didn't take the bus, firstly to save 20 cents, and secondly to exercise more. What she needed most now was exercise.
She bought what she needed from the market, asked the seller for a snakeskin bag, and walked back to the No. 1 Machinery Factory step by step, carrying twenty or thirty kilograms of stuff!
After carrying her things back to the dormitory, she didn't bother to rest. She took a bucket and a basin and went straight to the water pipe to collect the water. Then she took out the red beans, glutinous rice, jujubes and eight-treasure rice she bought from the bag, and filled them each.
Take a ladle and soak it, then take the rice dumpling leaves and soak them too.
That’s right, she is making rice dumplings and selling them!
She used about one-fifth of the rice she soaked today, which can make about fifty or sixty bags. The cost is about 10 cents a piece. She sells it for 20 cents. If she sells it all, she can earn five or six yuan, which will last for ten days.
She can earn dozens of dollars with just a little effort. With capital, she can set up a bigger stall. Maybe she can leave here quickly even if she doesn't have to point to Qiao Yu's five hundred dollars!
Xu Jingsi got busy after taking a rest. She had to make all the rice dumplings and cook them tonight. They had to be soaked overnight to be delicious.
In the past, she thought the rice dumplings she bought were not delicious. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, she would make rice dumplings by herself, including candied dates, red beans, eight-treasure rice dumplings, and meat dumplings. Each time she would make a lot of rice dumplings, and then bring them to the company to share with everyone.
The food was well received by everyone.
Turn on the stove, boil water, and boil the red beans. To make red bean rice dumplings, first make the beans into bean paste.
Cooking red beans is a long process. When the red beans are cooked, the small building becomes lively.
And Xu Jingsi is about to start making bean paste. Her exclusive secret is to add date paste to the red bean paste. The red bean paste made in this way is fragrant and sweet. After the red bean paste is fried, Xu Jingsi takes a bite and it is really fragrant and sweet.
It tastes terrible!
Tasting the red bean paste, she was really looking forward to the taste of the rice dumplings.
When the red bean paste is ready, the rice is soaked, and the rice dumpling leaves are soaked soft, Xu Jingsi sighed while rolling up her sleeves, this is the advantage of being a foodie, it can be eaten at critical moments!
But while wrapping the rice dumplings, she suddenly discovered a problem. There were not enough pots to hold the rice dumplings. Even after using all the pots, pots, and bowls, it was still not enough. They had to be soaked overnight!
Xu Jingsi put down the rice dumpling leaves and quickly wiped her hands, then looked at the money in her bag. After rummaging through it, there was only seven cents left!
She almost spent all her money just thinking about buying these things, but she didn't expect that she only had seven cents left!
Holding the seventy cents, Xu Jingsi smiled bitterly, thinking that there was no penny left that she could not spend.
Why don't you go out and borrow one?
Thinking of Xu Jing's character, she flinched a little, but there was nothing she could do. She gritted her teeth and stood up, walked out the door and walked towards Pei Daming's house. She hadn't gotten off work yet, and there was someone in their house at this time!
When she walked to their house, she saw that their door was indeed unlocked. She knocked gently, and then Wang Guizhi's voice sounded from inside, "Who is it!"
Then there was the sound of her footsteps, and then she came out with the soles of her shoes. When she saw it was Xu Jing, she asked nonchalantly, "Is something wrong?" She was really worried about giving Xu Jing a good look, so she stepped on
Nose and face.
Hey, Wang Guizhi was surprised in her heart. When she saw her in the morning, she still had long hair, but it turned into short hair so quickly, but she was quite energetic.
Seeing Wang Guizhi's alienated look, Xu Jingsi smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, can you lend me one of your vegetable washing basins? I'll return it to you tomorrow. I'm making rice dumplings. There's not enough."
Wang Guizhi was surprised, "Can you make rice dumplings?"
"Yes, when I cook it, I will bring it to you to try."
The smile on Wang Guizhi's face brightened, "Here, take this and use it." She said and picked up the basin on the shelf next to the door and handed it to her.
"Sister-in-law, thank you." Xu Jingsi thanked her sincerely, "I will buy it and return it to you tomorrow."
Xu Jingsi made the eight-treasure rice dumplings first, and soon the smell of the eight-treasure rice dumplings wafted in the corridor. Anyone who came up asked what they were doing...
Xu Jingsi heard it clearly in the room. When it was almost time and she poured the rice dumplings out, the eyes of those cooking in the corridor turned to her.
Since Pei Daming's wife Wang Guizhi is here, everyone will probably know that she is cooking the rice dumplings.
She brought the pot into the house, put all the rice dumplings into the basin, soaked them in the soup, and started cooking candied dates. There were 19 eight-treasure rice dumplings in this pot. She laid out the rice dumplings one by one, and she felt very happy.
, I admire myself so much, not a single one was boiled to pieces!
She added charcoal to the stove and prepared to cook the second pot. As soon as she put the pot on, she saw Pei Daming's son Pei Xiaoming walking up the stairs carrying a big schoolbag. The little boy saw her looking at him with a smile on his face.
Disappeared immediately.
"Xiao Ming!" Xu Jingsi called him, "Auntie has cooked rice dumplings and comes here for you to eat."
"No!" After Pei Xiaoming said this, he ran away like a thief!
Xu Jingsi smiled bitterly, returned to the house, picked up three large ones, put them in a bowl, and carried them to Pei Daming's house, where she put two more in her pocket.
Pei Daming didn't come back just now, and Wang Guizhi was preparing to stir-fry. When she saw Xu Jingsi coming with rice dumplings, her face suddenly lit up with joy, "How much did you pack? You gave us so much."
"That's quite a lot." Xu Jingsi said with a smile, "You can eat these three, but Xiao Ming can ask Xiao Ming to send these two to Qiao Yu."
"What's the trouble!" Wang Guizhi took Xu Jingsi's bowl with a smile, turned around and shouted towards the room, "Xiao Ming, did you hear it? Go and deliver it to your Uncle Qiao."
Xiao Ming ran over, took the bag, and ran towards the stairs without saying a word.
"You're just going to eat rice dumplings tonight?"
Xu Jingsi nodded, took the empty bowl and said, "You are busy, I will go over first."
Wang Guizhi sent Xu Jingsi out with a warm smile, turned around and said to Pei Daming in surprise, "See, it's really different. I've cut my hair, and I know how to work. I'm a completely different person."
Looks like it!"
Pei Daming was in a daze looking at the three rice dumplings in the bowl. When he heard Wang Guizhi's words, he raised his head and said to her, "She promised to divorce Qiao Yu!"
"Really!" Wang Guizhi exclaimed.
Pei Daming almost jumped up, "Keep your voice down!"
Wang Guizhi did not argue with him, but lowered her voice and asked in disbelief, "Really? Xu Jing really agreed?"
"Well, we agreed yesterday. She said she wanted five hundred yuan. As long as Lao Qiao gives her five hundred yuan, she will go back and go through the formalities with him."
"Ah! Five hundred!" Wang Guizhi quickly asked, "Qiao Yu agrees to give her five hundred?"
Pei Daming nodded.
Wang Guizhi rolled her eyes and suddenly became excited. She felt more and more that her guess was correct. She said nervously, "I see that Xu Jing is different from before. Do you think she is doing this to win back Qiao Yu?"
