Wearing eighty books, the little widow turns into a rich woman

Chapter 462 Chapter 463

Tong Xinglan took the baking pan out of the oven, and the chubby and brown mooncakes were displayed in front of several people: "Sister Xiuyun, let it dry for a while and then you can eat it."

Yao Xiuyun smiled and said, "You are busy with your own business, don't worry about us."

Lin Lan went to the store to get two cowhide bags, picked up a bamboo folder and put a bunch of mooncakes in it and handed it to Sister Wu, and another to Yao Xiuyun: "Sister, try the freshly baked ham mooncakes."

"Okay!" Sister Wu broke open and took two bites, "Not bad, it tastes similar to the one I bought on a business trip in Yun Province last time."

Yao Xiuyun smiled and said, "I like ham core the most, I never get tired of eating it!"

After Sister Wu finished eating, she asked, "Are there any other flavors?"

Lin Lan said: "There are also stuffing with five kernels, egg yolk stuffing, red bean paste...there are some in the store, you can try it before ordering."

Sister Wu smiled after hearing this: "No need, just make [-] of the egg yolk and ham. If there is not enough, I will come again."

"Okay!" Lin Lan took a note, "Two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, should I send it to you or you can pick it up yourself?"

"We'll pick it up ourselves," Sister Wu said.

Yao Xiuyun also ordered the mooncakes at the police station, and the two left the pastry shop together with the mooncakes that Lin Lan sent.

Lin Lan sent the two of them back, and said to Tong Xinglan and Qiaohui, "Mooncakes from several kindergartens, as well as mooncakes from clothing factories, police stations, public security bureaus, and procuratorates. There are more than 2000 custom-made mooncakes from these homes."

"There are still a few mooncakes that made custom mooncakes at our house last year. We have to make retail ones. Sister Yuezhen and I can't make much. You have to work hard. We will work overtime from today, and we will pay bonuses at the end of the month."

Tong Xinglan and Qiaohui nodded heavily: "Cousin, don't worry, we will never loosen our belts!"

"Okay! Come on!" The three of Lin Lan got busy.

After baking a batch of ham mooncakes, they took them to the store to wrap, and the three of them continued to bake snowy mooncakes.

Snowskin mooncakes do not need to be baked, so Lin Lan and two people prepared the fillings: pumpkin, sugar, peanut oil, gluten-free flour, glutinous rice flour, rice flour, bean paste...

Pour the pumpkin puree into the frying pan and stir-fry for a while, add oil and sugar, add gluten-free flour in batches, and stir-fry until the pumpkin puree and gluten-free flour are soft and waxy, and then shovel and cool.

Mix gluten-free flour, glutinous rice flour, rice flour... into the wok, stir-fry over low heat until slightly yellow, scoop it up and put it in a porcelain basin, add sugar powder and peanut oil, blanch the cleaned Chinese vegetables and filter out For Chinese dishes, keep the red Chinese vegetable juice and pour it into a porcelain basin.

Stir it evenly with chopsticks while pouring it, then put it aside to dry for a while, knead it into a ball and let it stand for ten minutes to refrigerate.

After tasting it, Tong Xinglan and Qiao Hui still felt that the baked mooncakes were more delicious.

Lin Lan told the two that they were running a shop and each customer had his or her own favorite taste, so they could not just sell whatever they liked.

Next, he and two other people used gardenia yellow boiled water to knead noodles, including mung bean noodles and red bean noodles, to make snowskin mooncakes in several colors.

Tong Xinglan felt that moon cakes of several colors looked pretty nice when put together.

At noon, shortly after eating, Lin Lan rested in a chair in the store.

Wu Shuqun walked into the store and handed her a lunch box: "Xiaolan, I made leek dumplings, you want to eat them and steam them yourself."

"Thank you, Auntie!" Lin Lan took it and put it on the counter, "Are you here to get the key?"

"Hmm! Your mother went to look for me at home this morning." Wu Shuqun said gratefully, "We took advantage of your family, Xiaolan, and rented a house in the city to us at the same price as in the countryside!"

"It's okay, auntie!" Lin Lan took out the key from the drawer, "Xiangyang pulled some furniture over there yesterday, I'll take you to have a look, you can ask my cousin to buy some mortar, paint it and then move in."

"Thank you!" Wu Shuqun was so grateful that she didn't know what to say, "I heard from Zhigang that the yard is bigger than the production team's drying yard?"

Lin Lan thought about the drying yard of Lexing Brigade: "It's about the same size as Lexing's drying yard! There is no stove in it, so you have to find a stove builder."

Wu Shuqun nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you Xiaolan!"

Lin Lan smiled and said, "We thank you, it's almost the same. My dad said that the house is easy to break down when it's empty!"

The two greeted each other and went to the back of the garment factory. Lin Lan opened the door and took Wu Shuqun around, and found two orange trees, a pomegranate, and some flowers and plants in the corner of the yard.

Lin Lan told her that vegetables could be grown in the unpaved area of ​​the yard.

Wu Shuqun was very satisfied: "Such a big yard, I'm afraid it wasn't for ordinary people to live in before!"

Lin Lan shook his head: "I don't know. It had been empty for several years when Xiangyang bought it."

"Xiangyang has a good eye. Isn't the house worth a lot now? Your uncle and I have also discussed it. If we have to work hard for another year to save some money, please pay attention to it. If there is a suitable one, we will also buy a house."

"Okay, let's keep an eye on it for you." Lin Lan said and gave the key to Wu Shuqun, "I'll give you the key. I'm still busy in the shop, so I won't accompany you."

"You go back, I'll go back and ask Stone to buy some mortar and paint the house."

"Yeah!" Lin Lan turned around and went back to the pastry shop. He had ordered so many mooncakes and had to work harder.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaohong came to the store to look for her not long after she came back to work.

Hearing that Zhou Xiaohong was looking for her, Lin Lan rushed out with a smile: "You're such a busy person, why are you willing to come see me today?"

Zhou Xiaohong smiled and said, "There are two salesmen hired in the store, and I have the time to go out and walk around."

"Come in and sit for a while, I just baked some mooncakes."

"Okay!" Zhou Xiaohong glanced at her: "Go in and I have something to tell you."

"Hmm!" Seeing her, Lin Lan didn't look like something happened to her family. Thinking of what happened yesterday, she hurriedly took Zhou Xiaohong to the lounge in the backyard, "Sister Zhou, sit down!" She poured a glass of water for her .

Zhou Xiaohong took two sips of the drink, looked at her and said, "After lunch, two men came to my store. Their clothes look like they are working for the government."

"They asked me about setting up a stall in the eucalyptus forest! They also asked me whether the black market in the eucalyptus forest was controlled by Xiangyang, and how much was the monthly protection fee for setting up a stall in the eucalyptus forest?"

"I said that everyone in Lexing Commune, the black market in Eucalyptus Forest, knows about it. The members of the nearby commune, the workers of the vehicle factory go there to buy things after get off work, and some commune members pick some small vegetables and livestock to sell."

"Xiangyang is just like us. We are all honest earners. He has never collected a penny of protection fees from us, and Eucalyptus Forest has never collected protection fees! And let them ask the defense team if they don't believe it! "

Lin Lan's heart sank after hearing this: It seems that someone is really investigating Xiangyang. I don't know if it is because of Chen Jingsheng, or because of the black market in the past?

Zhou Xiaohong looked at Lin Lan worriedly: "Xiao Lin, why do I think someone is going to mess with Xiang Yang?"
