Chapter 129

"After frying, you have to let it cool before eating, otherwise it won't be crispy!" Jiang Tangtang saw that the heat in the pot was almost done, so he scooped up the melon seeds and poured them on a dustpan to cool.

In winter, when the temperature is low, the melon seeds will become cold after being spread out.Several children grabbed a handful of them without any ceremony and started eating them.

This time, everyone couldn't stop.

In fact, what Jiang Tangtang is frying is the most common fried spiced melon seeds in modern times. The reason why it attracts so many people, Jiang Tangtang suspects that it has something to do with the aura in the space.

Anyway, my family eats it, and eating more is good for the body, so Jiang Tangtang stirred up another pot.

But this time it has a fried caramel flavor.

Compared with the five-flavored flavor, the caramel flavor is obviously more popular among several children.

After the caramel-flavored melon seeds were fried, several children abandoned the five-flavored melon seeds and all ate caramel-flavored melon seeds.

Even on the donkey cart, several children kept talking.

Su thought both flavors were good, but she was an adult after all, and she didn't have poor self-control like a child. She stopped after eating for a while and talked to Jiang Tangtang, "Tangtang, where did you buy these melon seeds? They taste really good. , how about selling it in the shop after the new year?”

Jiang Tangtang smiled and said: "Mom, this is a good idea. We will make arrangements when it opens on the eighth day of the lunar month."

In this era, there were no five-flavored or caramel-flavored melon seeds for sale. Selling such novel flavors in the shop would definitely be a good business.

However, she does not plan to sell the melon seeds in the space, and the melon seeds purchased from outside will definitely not taste as good as the ones they eat at home.

Su Shi smiled and said: "It's not my idea, but you are smart enough to come up with such a way to stir-fry melon seeds."

A few people talked, and the donkey cart quickly arrived at Zhuangzi.

As soon as he arrived at Zhuangzi, villagers gathered around him.

Before the New Year, some villagers went to the county town to sell mountain products and purchase new year goods to celebrate the New Year. They saw Su and others busy in front of the pastry shop. After asking about it, they found out that it was the shop opened by the Lu family in the county town.

Seeing that the business was so booming, the villagers were surprised and envious at the same time. When they returned to Zhuangzi, news about the very good business of the shop opened by the Lu family in the city spread throughout Zhuangzi.

When they saw the Lu family coming back, everyone gathered around the Lu family and asked all kinds of questions: "Daughter-in-law of the Lu family, the business of your shop is so good, you made a lot of money, right?"

"Are you still short of manpower in your shop? If there is a shortage of manpower, what do you think of my little son? This boy of mine is smart and good at work. You can do it, and I will pay you whatever you want."

"Aunt Zhang, who doesn't know that your Tietou is lazy and greedy? Your son went to the shop and ate the things sold in the shop instead of doing any work."

As Ge Shuanniang spoke, she pushed Ge Hongxia forward, held Su's hand affectionately and said, "Sister Su, look at my daughter. My daughter is well-known for being virtuous in this rural area. You ask my daughter to work for you." , I guarantee you won’t lose anything!”

Ge Hongxia shyly glanced at Lu Shili, who was holding the donkey's rope.

She couldn't help but blame her mother for why she didn't take advantage of the injured leg during the landing to settle the marriage when everyone misunderstood that he was lame.

However, if she could go to work in a pastry shop and get along with him day and night in the future, there would be a chance.

As for Lu Shiyan, whom she had previously loved, she had already followed Lu Shiyan to join the army, so she had no idea.

She doesn't want to be a widow when she goes to the barracks to serve as a soldier and lose her arms and legs and her life at some point!It's better to go to Lu Shili, who is doing business in the city, and she will be the young lady after marrying her.Seeing Ge Hongxia looking at her son with such a shy and coy look, Su didn't know what they were planning.

She mentally spat at the shamelessness of the two of them, pulled her hand out of Ge Shuanniang's hand with a stiff movement, and said calmly: "Old aunt, I'm really sorry, there is no shortage of people in my shop. Besides, my wife is the owner of my shop. It’s okay, my wife has the final say on these matters, I’m just an idle person, so please don’t embarrass me with things like this.”

Ge Shuanniang wanted to get close to the Su family and call her sisters, but the Su family didn't accept her at all and even called her "old aunt". This made Ge Shuanniang very angry.

She didn't believe what Su said.

How could Jiang Tangtang, a junior, be allowed to take charge of the family? This must have been Su's refusal.

Ge Hongxia and her mother had the same idea, they both thought it was Su's refusal.She glanced at Lu Shili shyly and decided to try to please Su.

But there was also a lack of understanding people at the scene, who seriously went to Jiang Tangtang to ask about recruitment.

Except for the Xia family, who had to maintain a good relationship with them, Jiang Tangtang did not want to recruit workers in the village.

However, she didn't want to offend anyone, so she used the same method as last time to talk to the villagers about the purchase.

This time, in addition to taro and winter melon, Jiang Tangtang proposed to let them plant some of the seeds he gave them, and then harvest them at a high price.

Jiang Tangtang mainly wants people to grow sugar cane.

Her current pastry shop uses a huge amount of sugar.

If you can have your own raw materials and make your own sugar, it will not only reduce the cost of the shop, but also develop a new industry and increase your income.

However, people reacted strongly to growing crops they were unfamiliar with.Many people don't trust Jiang Tangtang, "To put it nicely now, if you don't harvest the seeds after they are planted, won't our efforts be in vain?"

"No! If the whole family is hungry and cannot pay taxes, their lives will be at stake!"

"If you don't want us to work in the shop, what's the point of deceiving us?"

"Of course I won't let your efforts go in vain. If you are willing to receive the seeds, I will sign a contract with you."

After Jiang Tangtang finished speaking, he added: "My shop does have enough manpower now, and we don't need too many people. And the things I ask you to grow, I have to spend a lot of money to buy them from outside. It's really for the sake of the folks in the village. Oh, I think of everyone for such a good thing, otherwise, I can even grow it at home."

Of course, people are mostly skeptical about Jiang Tangtang's statement.

Land cultivation is a major event, related to the harvest in the coming year and the family's food rations.Even if Jiang Tangtang said to sign the contract, people would not be completely reassured.

Someone also talked about the Xia family planting wild berries with the Lu family. They said that Xia Zhirong spent most of the winter in the wild berry field and did not get any work done. This shows how serious Jiang's words were.

As everyone knows, the strawberries that the villagers are not optimistic about have already ushered in the harvest time.

Although there is no greenhouse, straw is used to keep warm, and Jiang Tangtang waters Lingquan from time to time. The quality of the strawberries is no worse than those produced in modern greenhouses.

Xia Zhirong has been watching every day for the past few days, fearing that something might go wrong.As soon as Jiang Tangtang came back, he discussed selling strawberries with Jiang Tangtang.
