In this era, whenever there are popcorn poppers, there are a bunch of people around, and when Zhang Xiulan came, it was already night, and there were more than ten children around, but there were only two or three people who hadn't finished jumping.Zhang Xiulan stepped forward, "Uncle, I jumped a lot, can you go to my house to get it?"
I'm staying at the last house on this street, and I'm going to get a bag of rice. ”The person who jumped the popcorn was a man in his forties, with black skin and wrinkles on his face, and calluses on his hands, he glanced up at Zhang Xiulan and responded in a muffled voice, "Okay." ”Zhang Xiulan thanked her, and then hurried home, went to Gao Yunbao's house halfway, and inquired where there was a honey seller, borrowed four clean plastic silk bags, and then went home.She plans to make rice candy, although every family now has popcorn to eat, but it is only a little bit at a time, and it can't be eaten for a few days, and the way to eat it is simple, unless you put some saccharin in it when popping popcorn, otherwise there is no sweetness.Zhang Xiulan thought of the small snacks that were popular later in her previous life, looking very inconspicuous, but making a lot of money, saying that this place is close to the train station, and she must not worry about sales.After Zhang Xiulan returned home, she first cleaned up the kang, and a cup of rice could pop out of a pot of rice flowers, Zhang Xiulan originally planned to get a hundred catties of rice, but now she looks at it and has no place to put it at home, so she just gets these four bags first, and makes rice candy from all four bags, which is a lot.Within half an hour, the popcorn jumper came and set things up outside the door.Zhang Xiulan said that she wanted to get a bag of rice, but now she has changed her words, and she is somewhat embarrassed.First explained that there was nothing to put in the house, and then said that there were four bags, and there were a lot, but the man was not angry, so he sat there in a muffled voice and added fire.Zhang Xiulan took out a large pot of rice and put it beside him, and took out two shortbreads, "Uncle."
It's also time for dinner, so you can eat and pad your stomach first. ”The man was not welcome.took it and lowered her head to eat, and she didn't thank her, and Zhang Xiulan didn't care, and put the bag aside.Four bags of rice popped up, and it was dark.Jumping so many rice flowers alone, the Wang family, who lives on the right side of the meat seller, couldn't help but come over, "Sister, how many days do you have to eat alone?"
”Besides, how much money does this big pot of rice have to waste?
Think about the town talking about the new move to make money, it seems to be true, remember when I came there was only a broken package, now look at the whole day to move things home.I heard that spending money in the supply and marketing cooperatives is dozens at a time.There is no shortage of rich people in the town, but there is no one like her.Zhang Xiulan glanced at it, "It's sister-in-law Wang."
Didn't I think of selling this for some money?
So I got some more, where can I eat myself. ”Zhang Xiulan has only been moving here for more than a week, and she has heard Gao Yunbao say that her neighbor, the widow Wang, loves to spread nonsense, and always bullies the neighbors who live left and right, the tenants of the house where she originally lived.I quarreled with the widow all day long, and finally I couldn't stand it and moved out.Gao Yunbao, a big man, wouldn't say this for no reason.Although she didn't say it too thoroughly, Zhang Xiulan also vaguely understood, how could a widow bully outsiders?
still has something to rely on behind her, but she didn't inquire much, she lived her life behind closed doors, and she just had a decent face.On weekdays, when she met Widow Wang, Zhang Xiulan also greeted her politely, but never said a word.There was someone who stole it last night, and Zhang Xiulan vaguely guessed that it might be related to Widow Wang, but there was no evidence, and it was a vain guess.Widow Wang shook her head disapprovingly, "It's good for my sister to want to make money, but this family has children who have jumped up, where are people still coming out to buy it, or has my sister thought of another way?"
”The king's widow's mind was spinning fast.Zhang Xiulan didn't hide it, "Yes, I thought of something else." ”Seeing Widow Wang's wide-eyed and concentrated appearance, Zhang Xiulan smiled secretly, as for what method, I won't tell you.But when it comes to it, needless to say, everyone knows how to get it, but at that time, she can be considered to have earned a sum of money first.Seeing that Zhang Xiulan didn't plan to continue, Widow Wang couldn't help pouting, "It's good to be young, look at my sister's brain, she can always come up with a good way to make money." ”"The living can't be suffocated to death by, it's just that you have to think about making money if you're poor, my sister-in-law said that this is not the reason?"
What Widow Wang said was not listened to, and Zhang Xiulan did not need to save face for her.was blocked, Widow Wang was unhappy, and turned around, "It's also dark, I also went to my house, and they all said that there are not many things in front of the widow's door, and the sister is alone outside, so you have to pay attention to the impact." ”Glancing at Zhang Xiulan proudly, and then glancing at the man who jumped on the popcorn, Widow Wang twisted her waist proudly and left.Zhang Xiulan didn't care if she could hear it or not, at this time, several families on the opposite street moved tables to eat on the road, and said crisply, "Thank you sister-in-law for your concern, don't worry, my body is not afraid of shadows, and I am not afraid of what people say." ”The widow didn't say anything, but when she got home and slammed the door hard, she obviously heard this.Zhang Xiulan was angry in her heart, and she knew that she had offended the widow Wang, but she didn't regret it, what did she have to tell her?
This kind of person only thinks about taking advantage of others, and if she can't take advantage of it, she will become an enemy, even if you take out your heart to associate with her, she will not have a heart-to-heart relationship with you.Sooner or later, she will tear her face, and Zhang Xiulan also feels that there is no need to put up with her."
Sister Zhang, this is the leftover meat from the family today, my mother asked me to bring you some."
Li Gang was holding a piece of meat of nearly a pound in his hand and tied it with a rope.Zhang Xiulan greeted her with a smile, but did not take the meat, "Brother Li, I can't ask for this meat, and your family can't make a lot of money, how can I eat it for nothing." ”"The pig belongs to my own family, my mother said that it is not easy for you to be alone, you can take it, there is something at home, I have to go back."
Li Gang couldn't help but say, stuffed the meat into Zhang Xiulan's hand, turned around and strode away with a face.Zhang Xiulan looked at the meat in her hand and only felt that it weighed a thousand catties.She only went to buy meat once, but she didn't want to be remembered, she really didn't know that her peach blossom luck was so good in this life.The Li family is the only one in the town who sells meat, the old couple has two sons, the eldest son went out to the Forestry Bureau, and he also sells meat, and the youngest son Li Gang, who has not started a family, follows to sell meat in the town.There are quite a few girls in the town, and Zhang Xiulan has not seen it selling things for a while, but she doesn't understand why the Li family fell in love with her.If you want to say that Zhang Xiulan found out about this, she still meets Li Gang every time she goes to the train station to sell shortbread, and she will also encounter it when she comes back, how can there be such a coincidence in this world, Zhang Xiulan has lived for two lives, and then look at Li Gang's shy appearance when he looks at himself, he guesses a few points.It's just that the other party didn't break it, Zhang Xiulan wouldn't say anything, and now seeing Li Gang coming to deliver meat openly, she also knows in her heart that this is to see that she has earned money in the past few days, and the two old men of the Li family agreed to this matter, otherwise Li Gang would not dare to come over.Zhang Xiulan is only thinking about making money now, and she doesn't think about personal things, even if she really thinks about it, Li Gang didn't enter her eyes, and from the perspective of his family's power, Zhang Xiulan didn't like it.The meat was accepted, Zhang Xiulan simply took the meat back to the house, made it at night, and waited for tomorrow to send this shortbread over, and then found it, and there was no need to owe it to the other party.Zhang Xiulan washed the pot and cut the meat, the pot was hot and poured some peanut oil into it, and when the oil was hot, the meat was poured in and fried, and the fragrance was stir-fried before adding water, and then picking and cutting the leeks and throwing them in, and finally found two wooden roots as curtains, added an appropriate amount of water to the washed rice and put it in the pot to steam, and did not care about the lid of the pot.More than ten minutes burst out a pot of rice flowers, four big bags, it was dark before it was over, Zhang Xiulan wanted to keep the other party to eat, but she also knew that this kindness had become a thing in the eyes of others, a pot of two cents of manual fees, a total of sixty pots of twelve yuan, before leaving Zhang Xiulan wrapped two shortbreads for him.The man then set up the carriage and left.The rice flower is afraid of the tide, Zhang Xiulan put the four big bags on the kang, and took advantage of the dark sky, at this time there was no one, so she moved the wooden stumbling under the outside window into the house, and the words dug out last night were also exposed, she lined up the clips and laid them out, and spread a layer of hay on them, and then spread a layer of floating soil on them, which was level with the left and right places, and could not find the traps here without looking closely.Zhang Xiulan glanced left and right again, she turned off the lights in the house and came out to get it, so it was all in the dark, even if someone looked here, they couldn't see what she was doing, she put a bunch of wood in the daytime, just thought she was moving wood into the house.After everything was done, Zhang Xiulan went into the house to wash her hands and eat.The water is to go to a stream behind to fetch, and it is not far away, Zhang Xiulan rarely uses it except for making shortbread water on weekdays, so it is all freshly fetched and used, and she does not have a water tank, she uses a basin to draw water and pour it back into the pot, and the noodles are to use the pot, and then get the water into the basin, and the noodles are placed on the panel.It can be used even now.It's been half a month since she arrived here, and for the first time she ate a serious meal made by herself, Zhang Xiulan was happy, she ate two big bowls of rice in a row, and the shadow of her family in her mind also flashed, and it was spring, although there was no news, she could guess that at this time, the family was busy with spring ploughing.After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Zhang Xiulan began to make rice candy, the method is very simple, add water to the pot, melt the sugar over low heat, the sugar juice is completely melted, boil until it changes slightly and bubbles, put in the honey and stir evenly, at this time you can stop the fire, the fire is too big and the sugar will be bitter, and then pour in the rice flowers and stir vigorously, if there are peanuts at this time, you can also put some, the materials are not complete, Zhang Xiulan didn't think much about it, after stirring evenly, pour the rice flowers into the tray while it is hot, spread it to cool, and after it is cool, it will become a shape, and it can be cut into strips and pieces.
