Reborn spicy little daughter-in-law

Chapter 9 Colleagues
"I went to work the first day, and I was so busy and confused." Kou Xi said with a smile: "There are too many people who come to buy things, and I can't control my brain."

"That's right, we have far more people than those who sell bearing parts. Seeing that the August Festival is coming, there are many people who buy moon cakes, canned food, tin biscuits and candy. Otherwise, Director Wang can't ask you to come and help I'm busy!" Ge Ling was a cheerful person, pointing at the dim sum seller across the street and said with a smile: "Look, the people over there are too tired to speak. We are better than them."

Hearing Ge Ling joking here, Zhou Hong on the opposite counter stood up and laughed heartily: "My body is like a calf, don't laugh at me."

"All right, all right, you're amazing." Ge Ling took out an aluminum lunch box from her bag, and shook it at Zhou Hong: "I'm going to heat up the rice, give me all of yours!"

Turning around, he asked Kou Xi again: "Have you brought food?"

Kou Xi said embarrassedly: "Today is my first day at work, so I'm not sure about anything."

"It's okay, I have a can of pickles here. I'll give you a steamed bun, let's eat together!" Zhou Hong is a generous person, and he speaks quickly and quickly: "Tomorrow, just don't forget to bring rice."

When it was time to eat, Zhou Hong, Kou Xi, Ge Ling, and Wang Xiaoli got together.Zhou Hong shared half of Kou Xi's steamed bread with corn flour, Ge Ling scooped a spoonful of yellow rice, and Wang Xiaoli shared a large pancake with her.

A few people ate a delicious meal with radish pickles, shredded potatoes, and stewed beans.

"Hey, I've been selling supplies for two years, and these pastries are just two or three kinds. When people buy things and ask, I can't even tell what they taste like!" Zhou Hong complained while eating corn flour steamed buns. .

"You're pretty good. Your family can also steam steamed buns with Lianghe noodles. Our family still eats big pancakes. Usually rice is mixed with millet and sorghum rice." Wang Xiaoli pouted with a smile on her face. With a bit of resentment: "I have to give my mother 65 yuan a month, and my mother can't bear to spend any of it. I have eaten peach cakes, and there was a time when the honey three knives were broken. I tasted it!"

Ge Ling took a bite of her rice and turned her head to look at Kou Xi: "I think your family conditions should be pretty good. Director Wang said that your father works as a buyer in Wangtun Supply and Marketing Cooperative. You must not eat less delicious food, right?" ?”

Kou Xi nodded: "I can probably recall what it tastes like, but I can't eat all of them."

"It's almost fine. I'll take a notebook and write it down later." These pastries come at a cost, and if you steal three or two yuan, you will have to pay for it if you don't pay it later.

Zhou Hong and Wang Xiaoli didn't dare to be greedy, so they didn't eat much.

"Are these all at the same price?" The pastry counter has a complete range of styles. If Kou Xi hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't remember that there are so many varieties of Chinese dim sum.

"The ones at the counter here are all [-] cents a catty, the ones here are [-] cents a catty, and the ones over here are [-] cents." Zhou Hong pointed to the three places on the counter.

The most expensive one is the 'Tou Xing', which is oily and sugary pastry.Kou Xi nodded: "Well, it's easy for you to divide it this way. The expensive ones are oily and sweet. This peach kernel cake is mixed with peach kernels in the dough! There is a round egg yolk cake inside. A few black sesame seeds are sprinkled on top of the salted egg yolk, and it is crispy and rich in layering, but it is salty."

Kou Xi said it carefully, and Zhou Hong memorized it in detail in his notebook: "I haven't noticed it yet. I really didn't know there was salted egg yolk in the egg yolk cake."

"The square cake is similar to this white oil cake, except that one is square and the other is long. The almond cake is sprinkled with sliced ​​almonds. The inside of this sesame cake is hollow, and you can weigh a few more per catty. The sprinkle is flour. Thin noodles are twisted into shapes and fried in a pan.”

Wang Xiaoli snapped at the side: "You don't really eat all of them, do you?"

How could Kou Xi speak eloquently about the things he had seen and eaten in later generations, but he said embarrassingly: "My dad is very familiar with the pastry chef, and I have eaten a lot at his place."

Zhou Hong tilted her head and pointed at the other part: "These are all the same, the difference is that the words on them are different?"

All she had was the pile of Xizi cakes, small white stuffed cakes with Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xi pressed in molds.

"I don't know what kind of cakes we sell here. I remember that Fuhexi cakes in our house are stuffed with sugar and honey. Shouzi cakes are stuffed with roses, and Luzi cakes are stuffed with hawthorn. There is also this jujube flower cake, which is a little sweeter than the red date cake here. This red date cake doesn’t look very good-looking, but it’s the most solid to eat. Beef tongue cake, longevity cake, pretzel cake, and Zhuangyuan cake have no filling.”

Wang Xiaoli was dumbfounded when she heard this: "My god, you really ate it all."

Zhou Hong couldn't help being curious: "Which one do you think is the tastiest?"

Kou Xi was a little embarrassed: "I think peach cakes are very good when I eat them myself. But if I give them to the elderly at home, I still use red date cakes, longevity cakes, and beef tongue cakes. These taste softer and are cheaper. I buy almonds for children. Crispy Peach Crisp and Sesame Crisp, which are crispy and oily. Fulu Shouxi is the best for someone in the family to celebrate birthdays or serve as offerings.”

"Thanks to your help. From now on, if people ask me again, I will tell you." Zhou Hong was very happy: "Oh, we have a lot to say when you are here."

Kou Xi looked at Ge Ling and said with a smile: "I have eaten more because of my father's favor. I'm really not good at selling goods. I rely on Lingling to help me this day. My brain is not good, and I always Miscalculation!"

Ge Ling smiled lightly, but didn't continue talking.Wang Xiaoli heard about Wang Yazhi fighting Huo Dagui yesterday.Knowing that Kou Xi's life in her in-law's house is a bit difficult, seeing her at this time is quite gossip: "I see that you didn't bring any food today, can you leave some food for you when you go home tonight? I heard that your mother-in-law is stepmother?"

Kou Xi doesn't like people to inquire about his private affairs, but in this day and age you want to keep a secret and keep away from the masses.

She said in a low voice: "The family always eats two meals. Can you leave me a meal? I'll have a look when I get home."

When they got home, it turned out that the whole family did not leave any food for Kou Xi.

Kou Xi walked around the kitchen, but didn't even see half a grain of rice.Huo Tian ran over and pulled Kou Xi by the corner of his clothes: "Ma'am, where is the red bean yokan you bought for me?"

Kou Xi led Huo Tianyi to the main room, and asked Tianyi in front of Huo Dagui: "Did your mother eat the peach cake I bought for you today?"

Huo Tianyi's saliva dripped out immediately: "My mother gave me a piece, and she ate a piece herself."

After speaking, he urged Kou Xi: "Ma'am, I want to eat red bean yokan!"

Red bean yokan cost five cents a piece, but Kou Xi brought back only one piece.She took it out from her pocket, and teased Huo Tianyi with her hands held high: "Ma'am has been working all day, and she hasn't eaten yet? What should I do if Ma'am is hungry?"

Huo Dagui, Li Cuilian, and Gao Liman didn't seem to hear anything.Kou Xi knew that he was still angry with himself.

She was not annoyed, and handed the red bean yokan to Huo Tianyi.Smilingly, he asked him: "Go and find two radishes for the aunt, can the aunt make you meatball soup?"

As soon as Huo Tian heard the words, he was really excited like something, and ran away without a trace.

Kou Xi stood up and said to Huo Dagui, "Dad, there are no leftovers in the kitchen. I'll make carrot soup, do you want a bowl too?"
