Reborn at 70 and living a good life with his biological mother

Chapter 50 Ordering Desserts



Early the next morning, people from all walks of life in Shangyao Village, young and old, almost entered the mountains.

Shangyao Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and you can walk up the mountain along a path. Dewdrops are hanging on the wild grass on the roadside, and the wild flowers are crowded together. The mountains in the distance are green and empty, and the fresh air is refreshing.

Every spring is a time when food is in short supply. In the past, Shangyao Village relied on wild vegetables and fungi to survive. As long as you are diligent and willing to endure hardships, these wild beasts in the mountains will never starve people to death. Those who are lucky and capable can still make a living. Hunting game in the mountains and eating meat.

Nowadays, the economy is better than before, and the focus is on fields and crops. There are fewer and fewer people going up the mountains, and there are more and more animals in the mountains. From time to time, elk come down the mountain. Before, some people hunted wild boars, and there were also When wild boars entered the village and hurt people, the village organized men to go up the mountain to inspect the area.

The men went first to explore the mountain, and the woman found a bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain to pick up fungi. It had rained heavily in the past few days, and there were many dead leaves on the ground, so many fungi came out first.

As soon as we entered the mountain, everyone had already assigned a place and started picking up.

Lin Wanyi and Yu Xiang were both quick and quick. Picking up mushrooms in Linjia Village was a skill that every household had. Before noon, the mother and daughter had picked up most of the basket.

Aunt Fang saw that the sun was getting stronger and the men from the village were coming to join them one after another, so she asked everyone to eat something first, rest for a while, and then pick up some food before getting ready to go down the mountain and go home.

The families sat together, took out the food they had prepared, and started eating directly on the floor.

Men usually go up the mountain before dawn. Now that spring is here, the temperature difference between day and night is not big, but the weather is still a bit cool in the early morning, so the men all wear thicker clothes.

Shen Qingshan and Liang Yuzhu walked behind.

When someone came over, Lin Wanyi saw clearly that both of them were wearing leather vests to protect their chests, waist and abdomen. In addition, they also had leather protective gear on their knees and wrists, which looked a bit like a simple version. of armor.

Both of them are tall and good-looking.

Lin Wanyi laid out all the food, large and small iron boxes, four boxes of snacks, and two boxes of vegetables. Shen Niannian came from behind, carrying rice and duck soup that had been cooked all night.

"I'm so exhausted. I thought I wouldn't be able to deliver food to you in time!" Shen Niannian sat down so tiredly that she took out the hot rice and soup.

As soon as the iron box was opened, all the aroma overflowed. Seeing the food packed with food, the people around could no longer hold it any longer and hurriedly gathered around.

"You guys are eating too much, aren't you? Where did you buy these pastries? They look so beautiful!"

Compared with the pickle dumplings in other families, the food here is simply rich and a bit too much. The Shen family has become more and more generous since Shen Qingshan became the master of the family. Liang Yuzhu has just retired from the army, and it is the time when he is rich. , he is another person, and everyone can understand that he leads a good life, but in the hearts of others, Lin Wanyi and Yu Xiang are poor people who have been kicked out. It is incredible for others to eat so well.

Zhao Jiehong came over with the iron box and explained to the lady who was talking, "You didn't buy this. Aunt Yu made it herself. It tastes great. It's many times better than the snacks from the supply and marketing cooperative!"

Aunt Liu came over quickly, "Yu Xiang, can you make snacks? These snacks are so beautifully made, they are even better than those sold in other stores."

Seeing that everyone liked it, Yu Xiang took a box and shared it with others. Everyone who had eaten said it was delicious and kept praising Yu Xiang's craftsmanship.

The educated youth next to him was also ready to take action after hearing this.

Wang Yao, a new female educated youth in the village, was a little curious, "Is it really so delicious? Is it even better than the ones bought outside?"

Xu Yue sneered coldly and said disdainfully: "What kind of good food can these people in the village eat? If they think it tastes good, it is a delicacy in the world."

Wang Yao frowned and looked at Xu Yue. She was unhappy with Xu Yue about the last time she ordered oil. The newcomers didn't want to order oil at first, but Xu Yue relied on her being the captain to let the old educated youth order oil from her. , they didn’t want to order, so they complained about being dissatisfied with her as the captain. After the incident, not only did she not even give them an explanation, she also kept complaining that the village was not honest. Now she said that the people in the village were ignorant, and it was really good to see no one. .

Wang Yao's family is the leader of the provincial government unit, and she has been pampered since she was a child. She gave Xu Yue enough face last time, but Xu Yue seems to have always been unhappy with her, always stabbing her openly or covertly.

Without further ado, Wang Yao stood up, took her own food, and left. Upon seeing this, several new educated youths nearby also followed her immediately.

Li Hong, an educated youth who had a good relationship with Xu Yue, sarcastically said: "These new educated youths are really like capitalist ladies, and Lin Wanyi's family, if they have anything to show off, they can just pretend to be a few broken snacks and food." Kuo, you are really ignorant!”

Xu Yue did not respond, but just looked at Shen Qingshan and Lin Wanyi in the crowd, and saw Shen Qingshan taking the initiative to pick up food for Lin Wanyi, his face became gloomy.

Yu Xiang also didn’t expect that so many people would like the snacks she made. When she went back after picking the mushrooms, some people grabbed her along the way and told her that the snacks she made were delicious and asked her how to make them.

She asked Lin Wanyi if she could tell her the recipe. Lin Wanyi felt that the dim sum recipe was not a recipe passed down from generation to generation in her stepmother's family. It was just a recipe that her stepmother had recorded during her travels. It would be okay to tell everyone. After hearing this, Yu Xiang also agreed. I didn't hide it, and told others the method, but the taste of what others made was just average.

Yu Xiang has been very busy these days. She is often asked by one family to teach her how to make it, and that family asks her to teach her how to cook it. As a result, what Yu Xiang cooks is delicious according to what she said, and the taste is completely different when others cook it. , although they are not the same, they also know that Yu Xiang did not hide her tricks. It can only be said that they are not good at their craftsmanship, and they have a better impression of Yu Xiang.

The educated youth didn’t know where to get the snacks made by Yu Xiang. After eating them, she liked them very much. In the past few days, some people had ordered a few from her. Each portion cost [-] cents. She received eight orders on the first day.

"Wanyi, am I not dreaming? Someone actually ordered snacks from me?"

Lin Wanyi was not surprised by this result. The main people who ordered snacks from them were the educated youth from the village. Eighty cents was not expensive for these educated youth from the city, and the snacks made by her mother were indeed better than those from the supply and marketing cooperative. It’s a lot, and you save on dim sum tickets.

If they can do business among nearby educated youths, it will be a good income. They can not only buy snacks, but also try all kinds of food and drinks.

After receiving the deposit, Yu Xiang couldn't wait to go to the city overnight to buy some ingredients. She didn't have much ingredients at home, and it wasn't enough to make eight servings. Besides, she also wanted to try other snacks.

Lin Wanyi looked at Yu Xiang so excited that she didn't know what to do. Yu Xiang used sugar as salt when cooking at night. When eating at night, the sweet and sour short ribs were so sweet.

It happened that the two grown men ate better than anyone else, and they kept praising today's sweet and sour short ribs as being particularly delicious and authentic.

After finishing the meal, Yu Xiang took Shen Niannian to the kitchen.

"Nian Nian, someone ordered a snack from your sister Wanyi today. It costs eight cents a piece. We can make more than six yuan from this business."

"Aunt Yu, is this our business?"

"Of course. I didn't make that pastry by myself. You also helped me a lot. Your sister Wanyi told me that if we can get stable business in the future, we can also try to sell other food. , you and I will go to the county to purchase some ingredients tomorrow and come back, we have to start preparing for business tomorrow, what do you think?"

Shen Niannian looked at Yu Xiang excitedly and asked in disbelief: "Aunt Yu, can I really do business with you?"

She didn't know how to make dim sum. Although she could understand the recipe, it was actually Yu Xiang who brought her along.

Her brother is the only one making money in their family. She also wants to make money for the family, but her brother refuses because he is afraid of tiring her... It would be great to be with Aunt Yu. If her brother refuses, she will call him late. Sister Yi took action. Anyway, her brother's behavior was just like Uncle Zhuzhu said, he would be a raker for the rest of his life.

Yu Xiang and Shen Niannian made snacks together. Once the matter was agreed upon, the two of them went to the county town to purchase before dawn. Lin Wanyi, Shen Qingshan and Liang Yuzhu found Jiang'an to cooperate, and now they are making peanut oil full-time.

Life was going by leisurely, and they made a lot of money from selling oil during this period. Yu Xiang and Shen Niannian's snack business had also opened up the market.

Every day not only educated youths from our own production team came to order from them, but also people from other production teams came to order one or two copies.

In the past few days, both mother and daughter came back tired, so they ate something casually. After washing up, they lay down on the kang and fell asleep just after nightfall. They had to be busy with their own things the next day.

Lin Wanyi has become numb from peeling peanuts in the past few days. She dreams about peeling peanuts. She dreams that the peanuts turn into monsters and press down hard, almost crushing her to death.

With a sudden excitement, Lin Wanyi opened her eyes and saw that it was already dawn. There was no one around Yu Xiang sleeping next to her. After Lin Wanyi got dressed and got off the bed to wash up, she saw Yu Xiang who was already busy in the kitchen. and Shen Niannian.
