Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 21 Chicken Cake

Zhao Wenmu didn't know what happened in the glass factory.

He went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Brother Li San'er hasn't been doing very well recently. After so many days, except for a sewing machine coupon, he hasn't gotten any other coupons.

He decided to rush and put some pressure.

There is no motivation without stress!
In the end, they couldn't find Li San'er. After asking Li San'er's "colleague", they found out that this kid had been arrested.

No wonder it's been so long without a letter!

I guess it's coming out soon.

As long as the crime is not too serious, such as too much stolen goods found on the person, they will usually be released after ten days and a half months.

Zhao Wenmu then asked someone else to buy [-] industrial coupons, as well as tickets for some non-staple food such as sugar, salt, vinegar, and some tickets for eggs and pork.

Industrial coupons are for buying big clocks.

I wanted to buy it before, but I either had no industrial vouchers or no money, and it has been delayed until now.

I don't have a wall clock at home, which is really inconvenient.

Not only a wall clock, but also a watch as soon as possible.

Zhao Wenmu, who was used to mobile phones in his previous life, feels a little awkward now that his hands are empty.

Time is money, the most well-known and most influential slogan to Chinese people, will not be erected in Shenzhen Shekou Industrial Zone until next year.

People nowadays generally don't have a sense of time.

What Zhao Wenmu bought was the Polaris large wall clock, which cost 58 yuan each, and he bought three of them!

It's one more big item at home, after all, it's not cheap!
Buying three is of course not to use one to watch and save one, the other two are for Zhao Wenlin and Zhao Wenguang.

Back in the old house, Zhao Wenmu moved the clocks into the yard. Several aunts in the village saw them from a distance, and couldn't help admiring:

"The youngest of the Xuehai family is really well-off now. I just bought a sewing machine and built a new house. I bought three such big wall clocks at once!"

"Yeah, yeah, I don't know where the money came from."

"Ah Yuan, the kid from Xueqin's family, follows him to the city every day, and asks him what he does, but he doesn't say anything!"

A woman who lived at the head of the village said in a low voice.

"Isn't there Aunt Cuihua from Xueqin's family? Go, go and ask."

Several women walked towards Zhao Wenyuan's wife, Sun Cuihua.

In the end, Sun Cuihua didn't know what to ask.

She didn't mean to hide it from everyone, she really didn't know.

Her son ran out every day, so she was naturally concerned about what he was doing.

But Zhao Wenyuan didn't say anything, only said that he was helping Zhao Wenmu with work, doing serious work, and told her not to ask questions.

Sun Cuihua was so angry that she patted her son on the back several times.

Who is Zhao Wenmu, a well-known bum in the village, what good can he do with him?

She winked at her man, Zhao Xueqin, but Zhao Xueqin just smacked the bong in his hand and didn't speak.

Zhao Xueqin was very relieved that his son followed Zhao Wenmu.

A Mu is not confused about big things.

At this moment, Sun Cuihua, like these aunts, was a little bit guilty in her heart. Everyone saw that Zhao Wenmu was not doing business properly. Many people actually had doubts about such a big change in such a short period of time.

It is suspected that the source of the money may not be correct.

They haven't noticed that their children have been eating too much sugar recently.

Those are those whose families secretly sold prey to Zhao Wenmu. They knew that Zhao Wenmu had really made a lot of money with his skills.

Zhao Wenmu came back late today, and his second sister-in-law Song Yun was helping Zhao Jing cook for the villagers who built their houses.

A big pot full of big buns with pork and cabbage.

The meat is rich and filling, and the fragrance lingers in the whole yard.

Steamed buns are burned with big firewood, which is the kind of thick branches or split trunks.

In the past, Zhao Jing did all the work of chopping firewood and carrying water at home. Her thin body carried two buckets full of water, and she walked without shaking.

When she was pregnant and confinement, Zhao Wenlin and Zhao Wenguang took turns to help her.

Since Zhao Wenmu was reborn, he has completely taken over these two jobs.

This is a man's job.

There is no open flame in the stove at the moment, but the embers of the firewood are still full of heat.

Zhao Wenmu suddenly thought of a delicacy.

chicken cake.

Simple and delicious, just the right amount of leftover heat from the stove.

Thinking of this, he immediately fetched water to wash his hands well.

Then take seven or eight eggs and beat them in a bowl, and carefully separate the egg whites and egg yolks with a spoon.

Add soybean oil, sugar, and a little salt to the egg yolk, and stir gently, then sprinkle in flour and an appropriate amount of water, and stir gently until the flour has no particles.

Seeing that Zhao Wenmu was making delicious food again, Zhao Zimeng and Zhao Ziting put down the rattles in their hands, and rushed over to watch with their little daughter in their arms.

Zhao Wenmu then used chopsticks to gently stir the egg white into a foamy state, and added some sugar into it while stirring.

There are no electric egg beaters in this era, not even simple manual egg beaters.

Stirring with chopsticks, although a little troublesome, the effect is not much worse.

After the egg whites are stirred until they are thick, divide the egg whites several times into the egg yolk batter and mix together, trying to ensure that the air in the egg whites is not squeezed out.

Then pour the finished egg cake batter into a small cast iron pan.

He gathered up the embers in the stove with a fire stick, and then squatted the small iron pot directly in the center of the embers.

When the embers die out, the chicken cake is ready.

Although the egg cake produced in this way is not as soft and tender as the steamed one, and because the heat cannot be accurately controlled, the bottom of the cake is still a little burnt.

But it is better than the method is simple and the flavor is unique.

The surface of a pastry is soft and sweet, and the bottom has a feeling of eating rice crust, and the fragrance is stronger.

This kind of chicken cake with the smell of firewood instantly conquered the hearts of Zimeng and Ziting.

"The cake is big and round. The cake is delicious and sweet. Ziting ate one piece after another, and my uncle made one pot after another!"

Zhao Zimeng made up a jingle on the spot.

It made Song Yun and Zhao Jing laugh until the flowers trembled.

This guy will definitely be a smooth talker in the future!

The little girl can't eat supplementary food at the moment, watching her brothers and sisters eat, she reached out her hand anxiously to grab them.

Although the little guy is small, he is very fast, and once he is caught in her hand, he will hold on tightly and will not let go, with a lot of strength.

Must be on the lookout at all times.

This kind of soft and sweet food is hard to come by, Song Yun and Zhao Jing are only willing to eat a little bit, leaving the rest for the two little radish heads.

"Is it tasty?"

Zhao Wenmu asked Zhao Jing with a smile.

"Delicious, so delicious!"

Zhao Jing's eyes were shining brightly.

"Then I will always do well for you in the future!"

"Ok!"

Zhao Jing is very sweet in her heart, such a little brother makes her feel that life is rushing every day, unlike before, she just lives numbly.

At the same time, she also began to worry a little bit, the younger brother is getting better and better, will she not be able to keep up with him one day?

Song Yun, who was fed a mouthful of dog food inexplicably, said, where am I and what am I doing.

The weather is starting to get hotter, the spring in the north is very short, and summer is following in the footsteps of winter.

The wheat in the field began to grow vigorously and accelerate.

It started to knot and grow spikes almost overnight.

Some children would find full-grained ears of wheat and take them home. When cooking, they would roast them in firewood ash for a while, take them out and rub them with their hands, and the cooked ears of wheat would fall out.

Although the roasted wheat grains are a little burnt black, they have a strong aroma of wheat, and the sweetness of maltose comes out after a little bit of chewing in the mouth.

The children ate so much that their hands and faces were covered in ashes, and they looked like little cats.

But still enjoy it.

The happiness of rural children is so simple!
In the next few days, it was Zhao Wenmu who went to the glass factory to sell wild vegetables, but he didn't see Yang Yuping.

But I heard what happened that day.

It turned out that Yang Yuping was still injured in the end.

Fortunately, he only injured his arm, and Kong Erhe was also shot dead on the spot, without causing more damage.

The tragic scene in the previous life did not happen after all.

Zhao Wenmu also felt relieved.

There is still no conclusion on the development of wild game in the county, but there is also good news.

The wild vegetable feast at the state-run restaurant in Quancheng was a great success, and the leadership has approved its development of wild game dishes.

In order to form a brand advantage, it is also clearly required that the wild game should come from Pingyang County.

It seems that the superior also intends to experiment first, then promote, step by step, and determine the next step based on the effect.

Crossing the river by feeling the stones is a true insight!

Li Guofu, who has been confirmed to be promoted to the director of the county's state-owned restaurant, naturally took on this task.

The game dishes in the city's state-run restaurants are currently limited to "hares, pheasants, wild boars, and wild fish" four animals with "large populations and no risk of extinction".

This is also based on the concept of sustainable development, although there is no such concept at the moment.

"Brother Zhao, the city's state-run restaurant needs to guarantee 200 catties of mountain products and 160 catties of fish a day, and the county's state-run restaurant also needs to guarantee 140 catties of mountain products. And it is not ruled out that there will be more in the future. Do you have any problems?"

The deeper the relationship, the more relaxed Li Guofu and Zhao Wenmu got along with each other, but Li Guofu respected Zhao Wenmu more and more in his heart.

This amount is not small, he has to make sure whether Zhao Wenmu can take it.

"No problem, you can rest assured!"

This time it was no longer a verbal agreement. Zhao Wenmu signed a cooperation agreement with the state-run hotel. The most important point was that the state-run hotel was not allowed to change the supplier at will under the premise that Zhao Wenmu could guarantee the supply.

Of course, it is also clearly required that Zhao Wenmu must supply sufficient quantities in a timely manner, otherwise the state-run hotel has the right to change the partner.

With this agreement, the business of the state-run hotel is considered to be exclusive to Zhao Wenmu.

The profit of the wild game business far exceeds that of wild vegetables. With the current supply, the gross profit of a day can be 589 yuan!
Such a large amount of game cannot be obtained by a few old hunters in a sneaky way.

Zhao Wenmu is going to talk to Zhao Xuelei first after returning home.

The second uncle of the family, the production team leader of Shanqian Village, may lead the villagers on the road of reform and prosperity earlier in this life.
