90s Little Struggle

Chapter 107
Lou Fenfang is still very clingy, so she followed them to the homes of the second, third and fourth grandmothers.

She also saw that the three gifts presented by the Xiao sisters were the same.

Xiao Jianhua also smokes, so Lou Fenfang knows the price of cigarettes, and her heart is even hotter. Each family is a gift of about 60 yuan, and the three are [-] yuan.

Anyway, Wu Julan was so generous for the first time.

She still remembered that the last time Wu Julan came back, she brought some pears and something, and the total amount would not exceed five yuan.

What does this mean?
It shows that they made a lot of money selling lo mei.

Lou Fenfang immediately made up her mind that even if Xiao Hong beat and scolded herself, she must follow her closely and learn all the methods of making lo-mei.

The second grandma and the others were also very surprised by the generosity of the two sisters, so they refused the generous gift: "Can you take the cigarettes back? Let's just keep the toffee."

"That won't work," Xiao Fang smiled sweetly and well-behaved: "Both Uncle Zhao and my mother want to come to pay New Year's greetings in person, but we have something to do at home, so we specifically told us to spend more time with you."

Xiao Hong also didn't know how to keep it secret, as if she was showing off: "The main thing is that I'm busy. Uncle Zhao and my mother have opened a store selling lo-mei in the past six months and have made some money. However, they are really busy. It is easy to open a store and difficult to keep it. I don’t even have time to come and wish you New Year’s greetings.”

The elders were also a little curious, and began to inquire: "Then your business is good?"

"Not bad," Xiao Fang pretended to be modest: "The income is about the same as their going to work, right?"

The elders knew it well, it seemed that Wu Julan had really earned money now, and she was in a mixed mood: "That's pretty good, your mother is very handy, and the cooking tastes good."

Xiao Hong seemed to want them to praise herself: "I also learned how to make lo mei. My dad went to buy pig heads. Second grandma, you can try my craft."

Anyway, the two sisters answered every question, and Lou Fenfang can guarantee that everyone in Shantou Village will know that Wu Julan is now making money by running a lo mei shop.

If their family continues to sell lo-mei in the future, people in the village will think that it was Xiao Hong who taught them how to braise the lo-mei.

Although they really wanted to sell lo mei, they really didn't want the big guys to know that they were under the influence of their stepparents.

Lou Fenfang could imagine that when people in the village talked about the Xiao family sisters who followed their mother to stepfather's house, they would definitely praise them for being kind and capable and helping the family.

This made her feel blocked when she thought about it, but she was powerless.

Xiao Hong herself doesn't want to admit that she is actually very talented in lo-mei. Maybe she can consider opening a lo-mei shop in the provincial capital in the future?

Of course, she won't do it herself, she just needs to hire someone.

Just like now, Xiao Jianhua and the others bought a pig's head and came back with four pig's trotters. In this cold weather, Xiao Hong would definitely not want to wash it by himself: "First use straw to light a fire in the yard and burn the pig's head. The hair on a pig's trotter."

She kicked her hands in her pockets, and she was a good teacher: "Uncle Zhao said, this will not only remove the hair, but also remove the odor."

Xiao Jianhua's daughter said one by one to Uncle Zhao, and Xiao Jianhua couldn't keep the smile on his face.

Fortunately, Liu Meijuan was able to bend and stretch, and praised with a smile: "What he said makes sense, you have a really good memory."

Her stepmother had never loved Xiao Hong as much as she did at this moment, and she hoped from the bottom of her heart that Xiao Hong could only talk but not do anything.

This way she can also remember how to make lo mei.

From the seasoning that Xiao Hong asked them to buy, cinnamon, angelica dahurica, bay leaf and cumin were subtracted.

Anyway, they don't understand, and they won't find out.

Besides, just like that, there are another twenty kinds of seasonings, which made them feel distressed.

After tidying up according to Xiao Hong's request, Xiao Hong finally made a move. He put in various seasonings by himself, and then covered the large pot: "First boil for half an hour on high heat, then simmer for an hour and a half on low heat, and then use charcoal fire Just half an hour will do.”

He also said regretfully: "Today is still a bit too urgent, if you don't need to soak in salt and water for two or three hours, you can soak out the dirty blood in the pig's head, so that the scalp will not be black after cooking, and it will be white." It looks better."

"But it doesn't matter, I'll fry some sugar to make up for it later."

Lou Fenfang next to her wanted to write down everything she said with pen and paper.

She is also very smart, and looked at her with a look of admiration: "Sister, you are so good that you can braise pig's head. My dad also likes pig's head when drinking. Sister, you can't be at home, can you teach me? That's fine." Even if you're not at home, I can cook it for our dad."

Liu Meijuan also echoed: "That is, when your dad eats pork head meat, he will think of you."

The Xiao sisters complained in their hearts: Thank you, you don't need to worry about us.

Anyway, if they really miss their sisters, it's probably nothing good.

Like this time, what I miss is their lo mei recipe, who knows if they will miss their marriage next time?

They didn't want to completely fall out with Xiao Jianhua, because they were afraid that he would disgust them in their marriage.

Although it is said that marriage is now free for young men and women to fall in love.

But he is his own father, if he introduces a partner to them on his behalf, or is optimistic about him, even if they can make trouble in the end, they will have a bad reputation.

For this reason, Xiao Hong only now endures the flattery of Liu Meijuan's mother and daughter.

She heard the words and smiled at Xiao Jianhua: "Dad, Uncle Zhao really made a lot of money selling braised meat. Anyway, Aunt Liu is free at home. If she learns how to cook braised pork with me, she can go to town Sell ​​lo mei online, so that if you earn money, your family will be better off.”

She was about to reveal what they had in mind.

What she wants now is a good name.

In this way, even if they make trouble in the future, and I ignore them, I can't use public opinion to force the sisters to bow their heads.

Xiao Jianhua did not expect Xiao Hong to say this, and felt a little emotional: "It's rare that you still think about your family."

"That's it," Xiao Hong said in a very sensible way: "Who told you to be my own father? I definitely hope that my family will get better and better for this blood relative whose bones are broken and the tendons are still connected."

Looking at him expectantly again: "When the family earns money and we go to college, Dad, you can also subsidize me and Xiao Fang more."

"I heard that it costs a lot of money to spend four years in college?"

"Also, my grades are not very good. If I fail this time, I want to continue the exam."

Xiao Jianhua and Liu Meijuan couldn't help but laugh.

No, they don't want to subsidize them or pay their tuition.

Like them, Lou Fenfang has to go to college, and her son is still young, so there will be plenty of money to spend in the future.

At this moment, the couple had made up their minds that they would try not to meet each other until the second half of next year.

Two sets of tuition and living expenses would cost at least one or two thousand a year, and they didn't want to be taken advantage of and pay this money.
