Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

Zheng Xiaoman made fish ball soup for dinner, and the family members tried it first to see how it tasted.

She didn't make pure fish balls, she added some sweet potato powder and flour.

Although it is not as fresh and tender as pure fish balls, it tastes very good.

The next day, they went to town with a large bucket of fish ball soup, three sets of braised pork offal and marinated loaches.

At noon, all the people who wanted to eat gathered around.

Old Man Zheng said to everyone, "Everyone, we have added a dish today, and the dish we added today is this fish ball soup. You can choose three dishes or two dishes together, and everyone can choose according to their taste."

Everyone was quite curious when they heard there was a new dish today, so many people ordered fish ball soup.

Zheng Xiao added a little bit of spiritual spring water to the fish ball soup. After taking a sip of the soup, people will feel warm all over.

Song, the yamen runner, came to buy food from them again today. He added one more penny and ordered one serving of all three dishes.

After drinking a bowl of fish ball soup, he felt so comfortable that he wanted to close his eyes and take a nap.

Today, Zheng Xiaoman and his family only steamed two pots of steamed buns, and they were sold out quickly.

If you don’t find it, you can only buy it at other stalls.

As a result, the stalls that were previously hostile to them now have a much better attitude.

The food that Zheng Xiaoman and her friends brought was sold out the fastest, so the three of them packed up and went to town.

As Zheng Xiaoman had guessed, they only bought a piece of pig offal today.

Moreover, the price of pork offal at both butcher stalls has gone up, and now it costs ten cents a pair.

Zhou Chunfeng's face looked very unhappy. Although Zheng Xiaoman had expected this to happen, he was still in a bad mood.

On the way back, Zheng Xiaoman asked, "Mom, besides the one in town, are there any other stalls selling pork here?"

Zhou Chunfeng thought for a moment and said, "There are some villages where people slaughter pigs, but not many, and they don't slaughter pigs every day."

Old Man Zheng also nodded, "Your mother is right, Xiaoman, do you want to buy pig offal from somewhere else?"

Zheng Xiaoman nodded, "Well, there are only two butchers in town, and this will be a huge restriction on our business.

Seeing that our business is getting better and better, they will force us to buy pig offal from them and raise the price even higher in the future. "

Zhou Chunfeng raised her voice and asked, "Are you going to raise the price again? Only our family buys this pig offal. Who else would buy this stuff?"

“Mom, it’s because our family is the only one that buys them, and we know that we have no choice but to buy them.

Now that our supply is in their hands, they will surely ask for an exorbitant price. "

Zhou Chunfeng was so angry that she couldn't take it anymore. "It's really dishonest to do business this way."

Old Man Zheng has experienced a lot, so he can understand what Zheng Xiaoman said better.

"We really can't let them control us like this, Xiaoman, so what do you think we should do?"

Zheng Xiaoman thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa, if you have time these two days, go to the surrounding villages and ask those who have pig offal for sale to send to our house.

As for the town, let's leave them alone for a while. We'll sell fish and shrimp these days and let them keep the pig offal for themselves."

Old Man Zheng nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll go to the surrounding villages this afternoon."

Zheng Xiaoman continued, "By the way, sir, if we don't sell the pig offal, the fish and shrimp we catch ourselves won't be enough. We can ask the villagers to go to the river to catch some fish and shrimp, and then sell them to us.

We charge two cents per pound for small fish and shrimp, but we only want freshly caught ones that are alive, dead ones are not accepted."

"Haha, this is easy to handle. I just need to go talk to those old friends."

After the three of them arrived home, Old Man Zheng had a simple meal and then wandered around the surrounding villages.

In the afternoon, Zheng Xiaoman took out the soaked mung beans and red beans, peeled them, put them into the pot, added enough water and boiled them over high heat.

When cooking the beans, stir them constantly to prevent them from getting stuck. When the beans are cooked, you will get bean paste.

When the bean paste is almost cooked, add sugar, then put the bean paste into a bowl and shake it evenly. You can eat it after it cools down.

But she was going to sell it, so she had to press it into a nice shape.

By the time the two pots of red bean paste cake were ready, Zheng Xiaoman was so tired that her arms felt like they were not her own.

Making pastries purely by hand is so tiring. She really misses the days when there were machines.

After the snacks were ready, she cut two small pieces for her mother and father to taste.

"Mom, which one is better, the mung bean cake I make or the one sold outside?"

Zhou Chunfeng took a bite and savored it carefully, then said without exaggeration: "My daughter's cake is still the best. The mung bean cakes sold outside are not as fine as yours."

Zheng Dashan also nodded in agreement, "Your mother is right, and Dad also thinks that the mung bean cake you make is more delicious, and it is sweet but not greasy."

Chun Ya was eating a piece of mung bean cake. She also raised her head and shouted, "Sister's cooking is delicious. It's the best."

Zheng Xiaoman smiled and touched her head, "Okay, I got it. Then Chunya, eat more. I made a lot."

Chun Ya grinned happily, revealing her white teeth the size of rice grains.

When Zheng Qingming and Lixia came back, Lixia almost jumped for joy when she saw the mung bean cakes.

Why did their family make so many delicious foods these days? He felt that this made him happier than the Chinese New Year.

"Sister, can you make these snacks for me more often in the future?"

Before Zheng Xiaoman could say anything, Zhou Chunfeng slapped Lixia lightly on the head.

"This thing is so expensive, and it has sugar and mung beans. Do you want to eat it often? I think you are itching for a beating."

Lixia shrank her neck and said, "Mom, I was just saying that, hehe, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously."

Zheng Xiaoman looked at him and smiled, "Mom, it doesn't cost much to make it at home, just buy some green beans.

Making it yourself is much cheaper than buying it outside.”

Zhou Chunfeng nodded, "That's right, if you sell these in town, they will sell for at least two or three hundred coins.

Anyway, I definitely wouldn't spend money to buy this cake. A package in town only has six pieces of mung bean cake, and it costs twenty cents.

With that money, I might as well buy half a pound of pork."

"So, mom, the profit from these pastries is much higher than that from selling meals.

I only used one pound of mung beans and one pound of red beans, and it only cost me 21 coins in total. But if I sell it, the price will be more than ten times what it is now. "

"But my girl, although the cakes make a lot of money, most people can't afford them."

At least she wouldn't spend money to buy such expensive pastries.

Zheng Xiaoman smiled and took her mother's hand, "Mom, we are not in a store, so we have to sell them in bags.

We can sell them piece by piece, each piece for two cents, the same price as candied haws.

Two cents is not a lot of money. If your children really want to eat it, will you buy a piece for them to try?"
