Because of the spiked potatoes, the aunts helped Tao Yan and Huo Baichuan find a summer job that could earn living expenses with enthusiasm and domineering and could not refuse.I was worried that the two children would not be considerate due to their young age, and the buyer would not be able to complete everything, which would affect the opening of the business three days later.Several aunts squatted outside the kitchen and discussed for a while, and took papers and notes to list the pots, pans, and condiments that needed to be purchased at the stall—the most important thing was gas tanks and tricycles. This big thing is not something a penniless kid can buy.

"A car and a tank of gas cost 200 yuan anyway!" The neighbor uncle in a white sweater said while waving a cattail fan, "There is a tricycle in our yard, which was used by the third son's father when he collected junk. Later, Xiaosanzi’s father passed away, and Xiaosanzi’s mother remarried with the child, so the tricycle was left to his grandma. In the past two years, the old lady was too old to ride a tricycle. The car was left in the courtyard Here, it has been snowing and cold for more than half a year, the car seat cushion is gone, and the wheels are all deflated."

While talking, the old man looked at Tao Yan and Huo Baichuan: "If you two don't dislike it, I'll ask you later."

At this moment, Tao Yan and Huo Baichuan finally realized what it means to be gracious and difficult to refuse—it is this kind of practice that does not involve the slightest interest, although it does not take into account your own wishes, but simply wants to be good for you, even if it is a firm stand Neither Tao Yan nor Huo Baichuan could remain indifferent.

"The people here are too enthusiastic!" After the neighbors left, Huo Baichuan sighed to Tao Yan in a low voice: "No wonder our old man always likes to recall the customs of the past at the dinner table."

It's really interesting.

Tao Yan didn't respond.

Looking at Tao Yan who was silent and thoughtful, Huo Baichuan couldn't help asking: "You don't really want to set up a stall, do you? Are you afraid of heatstroke in such a hot weather?"

Tao Yan rubbed his chin and sighed: "Even if you don't have a stall, you have to find a way to make some money. Otherwise, how can I repay your billions of dollars?"

"We can continue performing arts." Huo Baichuan was a little flustered. When he thought that Tao Yan, a white and weak chicken, was going to be exposed to the sun and smoked by the hot oil pan, Huo Baichuan was inexplicable, and felt agitated from the bottom of his heart.

"Your physique is so weak, be careful that you get confused and plunge into the frying pan. You will be disfigured by then!" Huo Baichuan threatened Tao Yan.

Tao Yan glanced lightly at Huo Baichuan, originally he had no intention of going out to the booth to earn pocket money.Now he was amused by Huo Baichuan's nervous reaction.I couldn't help but joked: "Then don't forget to sprinkle more cumin pepper noodles. The children next door are crying."

The child Huo Baichuan: "..."

Huo Baichuan looked at Tao Yan angrily, is this something that a human being can say!

Tao Yan smiled, and was about to say something when he saw the old dean and volunteer aunts coming over: "How are you two thinking about going to the People's Park to sell food stalls?"

When the neighbors were all around, the old dean could see that the two children were not very impressed by everyone's proposal, but the old dean and the volunteer aunts who were standing by were very tempted.It's just that everyone is thin-skinned and embarrassed to take advantage of children.Besides, Tao Yan and Huo Baichuan came to the orphanage for the first time.The old director didn't want to give the two children the impression that the orphanage was greedy for petty gain.

But it's really another great opportunity.

So after the neighbors left, the old dean and the volunteers hesitated for a long time, after discussing and discussing, they still had the cheek to come to Tao Yan and Huo Baichuan.

"Don't think about it, don't think about it!" Before Tao Yan could speak, Huo Baichuan, who was afraid he would say something, immediately refused: "The weather is too hot, and there is not enough chili noodles!"

"?" The old dean and the volunteer aunts, who didn't want to understand the connection between the hot weather and the chili noodles, looked at each other blankly.There was a moment of silence, and he continued to say: "I think this is a very good business. Everyone supports you so much. Besides, you two are newcomers, so it's good to have more money in your hands. If you two are afraid of hard work or overwhelmed Come on, you can teach the aunts in the teaching academy. The orphanage pays for it, and everyone works together, and the money you earn is shared equally with the courtyard. This way you can have some pocket money in your hands, and the children in the courtyard can also add a little more. clothes, and buy more extracurricular books. Food can also be better.”

The old dean can also see it, just look at Tao Yan and Huo Baichuan who are not tired of food, can make such delicious food, and they are indifferent when they hear that they can earn 3000 yuan and [-] yuan in pocket money in two months. The family background of these two children should be good, at least not short of money.

The old director couldn't imagine what kind of family could raise children like Tao Yan and Huo Baichuan.She just felt that such a good opportunity was rare, and it was a pity to waste it in vain.If the two children really don't want to make it, their aunt in the orphanage can learn the recipe to make it.

I just don't know if the child is willing or not.

"Why don't you want to?" Tao Yan laughed immediately.If the volunteer aunts in the orphanage are willing to improve their cooking skills, he won't have to go into the kitchen to cook every day.

On such a hot day, who would like to cook with firewood on a hot pot and stove.

Although Tao Yan likes to cook, he cooks meals for one or two people in an air-conditioned kitchen with the best kitchen utensils.He can let go of his mind while cooking, enjoy the space alone, wait for the delicious food to come out of the pan, and enjoy a meal slowly.Rather than in the hot sauna day, guarding the fire in the stove and the original heavy iron pan and shovel to make a big pot meal that can feed everyone in the orphanage.

One meal or two is just a way to adjust your life and experience different experiences. After a long time, Tao Yan can't hold it.

Facing the first pot of gold after time travel, two young people who came from time travel 30 years later retreated because they were afraid of hardship and tiredness, but a group of old aunties who lived 30 years ago were eager to try and ignite their entrepreneurial heart .

Aunt Zhao, who kept talking about the cost of fried elbows and stewed elbows, couldn't care less about her heartache. She got up early at three o'clock the next morning, and took two other volunteer aunts to the morning market to buy vegetables.

At three o'clock in the morning, it was just dawn.The east is about to dawn, the rooster sings white, and there are no pedestrians on the street.Only the cleaners who sweep the street are pushing the garbage truck and waving a big broom to work diligently.There are also a few sporadic pedestrians riding tricycles in the direction of the market.They are all small vendors rushing out of the morning stalls.

The three volunteer aunts carried the big cloth bags they sewed, and shuttled among more and more small vendors. While picking the freshest ingredients, they talked about the most ruthless prices——

"Give me a cheaper price. You also know that we belong to the Red Heart Orphanage next door. The budget is not much. I bought these potatoes to set up a stall and earn some living expenses for the children. Don't sell them so expensively!"

"Sister, it's cheap enough for me. I sell it to others for fifty cents a catty, but I sell it to you for a dollar and three catties—"

"Then we buy a lot! And we have to go out of the stall, and we will buy it every day from now on. If you give us a little cheaper, I will buy from you from now on. You pull the potatoes to our orphanage every morning— —”

"How much cheaper do you want me to deliver the goods to your door? Big sister, you have a good abacus." The small vendor couldn't help complaining: "It really can't be any cheaper. No matter how cheap it is, I won't make any money!"

"How can you not make money? It's just more money and less money! Besides, we buy so much, you should have given us the wholesale price. I have to tell you myself. Let me tell you, young man, you can't do business like this. Aunt Zhao said, getting up and about to leave: "I can't help it. I'll go to another house to see. I don't believe it. The quantity I want is so large, and they won't give me cheap ones."

"Hey! Wait! Don't rush away, big sister! Discuss it! Discuss it again!" The small peddler hurriedly called for someone.With such a large customer, the daily demand is stable and large, and he really is not willing to let him go.

"What are you talking about? You are not sincere." Another aunt chimed in: "We can go to another house and ask, at least one yuan and four catties can be negotiated. And the potatoes are bigger than yours."

"Then I'll sell it to you for one yuan and four catties." Seeing that the aunts insisted on leaving, the small vendor couldn't help but let go as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.While wiping the sweat with the towel around his neck, he complained: "Let me tell you, I really don't make any money. I sold it to you."

"Then let's talk about it first. We bought your potatoes, and you will send them to the orphanage. And the potatoes should be as big as the ones on this stall. If you dare to play tricks and send us bad ones, I will But no charge."

"Not only will we not accept it, but we will also help you to promote it to our neighbors. Say that you are not authentic and bully people in our orphanage."

"No! No! Don't worry! I will definitely send you the best." Wiping his sweat, the small vendor pointed to a sack of potatoes that had not been opened and asked: "Then this bag of potatoes, take advantage of this opportunity There aren’t many people here, so I’ll ride a tricycle and send it to you?”

Aunt Zhao asked the small vendor to dismantle the sack, poured out all the potatoes inside and checked it again, picked out two bad ones and threw them aside, then picked up a few big and round potatoes from the stall and threw them back. Clapped his hands and knocked off the mud on his hands: "That's it! How much is it?"

The peddler put the potatoes on the scale: "One hundred and three catties."

Aunt Zhao flipped through her wallet: "Let's count it as a hundred catties. Here's the money!"

Another aunt smacked her mouth distressedly: "Oh, this one hundred catties of potatoes costs 25 yuan. I don't know if the Spike potatoes can be sold. It's so hot in summer. If they can't be sold and left at home, it will budding."

"Should we buy less? Try it first and then talk?" The third aunt also suggested.

"It won't fail to sell. To watch a movie the night after tomorrow, the neighbors in the entire Lianhua District will come. If you bring your family with you, the family will buy a copy, and the hundred catties will be sold."

"Besides, we can still eat for two days!" Aunt Zhao said optimistically, "Don't worry. This hundred catties of potatoes will never spoil."

At 06:30 in the morning, Aunt Zhao dragged Tao Yan, who had just woken up to wash, into the kitchen. Looking at the mountains of potatoes in the corner and the volunteer aunts rolling up their arms and sleeves to learn how to cook, Tao Yan realized belatedly: "So for the next three days, we can only eat potatoes?"
