90s Little Struggle

Xiao Hong, who hated doing this job, couldn't appreciate their happiness at all: "Grandpa, grandma, parents, uncle, let's go back to have dinner first?"

Grandma Zhao nodded with a smile: "Okay, just leave after rubbing this point."

They all wore masks according to Xiao Hong's strict requirements, so they were reluctant to talk while working.

After finishing the work, everyone stuffed the masks in their pockets.

The main reason is that everyone is used to being frugal. This mask can still be used after washing, and the stove is very clean.

Xiao Hong still came in the old van, and on the way to drive them back, Wu Julan asked, "Is your brother still good? Can Yanyan keep an eye on him?"

Thinking of Zhao Yancan's restless but cute four-legged beast, Xiao Hong couldn't help laughing: "After sleeping, Yanyan fed him some milk and some biscuits after waking up, and then the floor was covered climbed."

The little guy is almost eight months old now, and he has not been weaned yet, and he has already eaten complementary food.

To put it bluntly, I just don't pick my mouth. Now she is fat and fat, and she laughs whenever she is teased. Xiao Hong likes it very much.

She even wondered in her heart when she would give birth to such a cute baby.

Wu Julan was relieved after hearing this for a long time, and chatted about the house: "Then you plan to continue renting the old house? The landlord didn't raise the price, right?"

The landlord, Xiao Hong, lied to them that the old house was rented at the beginning, but now she can only continue to make up: "There was no price increase. When I rented the house with her, I signed a contract. It stipulated that the price cannot be increased within three years."

After three years, she continued to make up, saying that the landlord sold the house to herself.

After hearing this, Zhao Lao Si praised: "Xiao Hong, you are worthy of being a college student, you are smart."

Grandma Zhao also echoed: "That's right, the prices of stores in the town have increased now. Fortunately, your second uncle rented your aunt's store, and my family is easy to talk to."

Zhao Laosi asked her again: "There are quite a few people working in your shop now, should they be busy?"

"We still have to hire people." Xiao Hong didn't hide from them: "The business of the milk tea shop is easy to do. I decided to open another one outside Brother Haodong's hospital and make money together."

Zhao Laosi is now considered a businessman, and after knowing the profit of milk tea, he couldn't help being greedy.

It's a pity that there are no dairy farms within a hundred miles of their town, so he can only look around.

Now that I heard Xiao Hong's words, I said worriedly: "Milk tea is not difficult, but I'm afraid that others will be jealous and sell it."

Xiao Hong is very optimistic about this: "It's normal, it's like the fried chicken and burger restaurant we opened together, and it also follows the trend of KFC."

"I've already thought about it, pearls are troublesome, but I've ordered a semi-automatic machine, which can be stirred by itself, and it can also be made into strips twice as thick as noodles. We only need to cut and knead and it's done. "

"When others open milk tea shops, I will sell frozen pearls."

"The raw material of this pearl is cheap, even if it sells for four cents a catty, I can still earn half and half."

Now Uncle Zhao couldn't help but praise her: "Xiao Hong, you are really smart, no wonder you were admitted to university."

Xiao Hong had the cheek to not refute.

Anyway, as long as she doesn't say her grades are bad, they will all think that she is the top student in the class.

She joked: "Uncle San, next year I still want to find someone to take care of the pearls for me, why don't you just stay and help me take care of the pearl processing."

Zhao Laosan did not refute, but hesitated for a while before asking: "I won't cause you trouble if I stay?"

Compared with his hometown, he prefers the provincial capital to the town.

When he went out in the town, many people would look at him curiously, and some naughty children would follow him and imitate his limping walk.

Then there was a roar of laughter.

But in the provincial capital, if I went to eat burgers at the store yesterday and dinner at the restaurant in the evening, even if everyone looked at him more, they would not pay special attention to him.

Moreover, he also saw beggars who lost both legs on the side of the road, and he also saw guests who were sitting in wheelchairs with inconvenient legs and feet and were pushed to restaurants for dinner.

In the provincial capital, let him feel relaxed.

Grandpa Zhao also understood what the third son was thinking, and said to help the third son cheekily: "Xiao Hong, you can rest assured that your third uncle is a man, and he will never reach out for what should not be taken. If he is not capable of being in charge, you let him stay. Just go to work and earn some money.”

Wu Julan also understood why Zhao Laosan wanted to stay in the provincial capital, hesitated for a moment, and then chimed in: "Your third uncle is good at cooking, and the dishes are delicious. If you really lack people here, let your third uncle stay." help?"

Xiao Hong also responded with a smile: "Of course that's good. I'm also serious. From now on, the old house can be left to Uncle San."

When they arrived at the new house, Xiao Fang and Fan's mother were already cooking dinner.

Today, Xiao Mengqiu has something to do, so he asked Xiao Fang and Fan's mother and daughter to sell milk tea. Now that there are fewer customers at this point, Fan Hong can be busy by herself, so Fan's mother and Xiao Fang came back to cook dinner together.

Mother Fan is a good cook. The lion head she made is fat but not greasy. It smells good and tastes good enough to make people want to eat it again.

I can also make steamed pork with rice noodles. Red and white pork belly is added with rice noodles. It is glutinous and fragrant, crisp and refreshing, fat and thin, tender but not emaciated. The aroma is overflowing, and the rice noodles are oily. Even the taro underneath is delicious , smelling it makes people drool.

Anyway, Xiao Hong is ready to add these two dishes next year to attract guests.

Seeing that there were fish, shrimps and some vegetables that hadn't been cooked yet, Zhao Laosi went to the kitchen very diligently to help.

Anyway, there are a lot of pots and stoves downstairs, so I'm not afraid of too many dishes, but I'm afraid of not enough cooks.

Wu Julan was worried about her son, so she went upstairs to see her son, after all, Xiao Cancan was not weaned yet.

Xiao Hong poured tea for grandparents and Zhao Sanbo, served melons and fruits, and chatted with them.

There is no way, she is lazy, and she doesn't like a kitchen full of oily smoke. There are many people cooking now, and she is happy to sit here and talk to them, and let's talk about making pearls by the way.

When the dishes were almost cooked, Wu Julan also went downstairs with her son in her arms.

Zhao Yanyan also bouncing down from behind, smelling the fragrance, took a deep breath, and looked intoxicated: "It's so good to celebrate the New Year, to be able to wear new clothes and eat so many delicious foods, no wonder everyone is looking forward to it." What about Chinese New Year?"

He ran to Xiao Hong again, sucked his saliva and asked, "When shall we have dinner?"

Xiao Hong looked at his watch and saw that it was already ten past six, so he smiled and said, "Let's go get the bowls and chopsticks and get ready for dinner."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was the sound of parking at the door.

The lively and active Yanyan immediately ran out to look curiously, and then walked in holding a small basket, which contained red and attractive fresh strawberries. Yanyan cheered in surprise: "Everyone, come and see, brother Yan gave us Brought strawberries."

She was obviously very rare and strange, with a look of surprise on her face: "So there are still strawberries to eat in winter?"
