Earn money to support your family in ancient times

The next day, Su Nuo came to Tang Yuan early in the morning.

"Brother Tang, are you done with your work?" Su Nuo breathed into the palm of his hand, "Will you go with us today?"

"Was Huber able to come here by himself yesterday?" Tang Yuan asked Su Nuo to enter the house first, instead of standing in the empty yard blowing the cold wind.

Su Nuo stuffed his hands into his sleeves: "You can get busy, and there are no mistakes when there are many guests."

"Then I won't go, I still have to work at home all morning." Tang Yuan poured a cup of hot water for Su Nuo to cover his hands, "You work harder today and help me keep an eye on the store."

Rappy wasn't ready yet, he had to stay at home, and since Huber could handle it, he didn't have to go.

Su Nuo held the cup and took a sip, the mist wet his long and dense eyelashes, his eyes seemed to have been washed, nodded and smiled: "Okay, Brother Tang, don't worry, I will take a good look at the store."

"Brother Su Nuo, it's time to go!" A loud voice came from outside the door.

Su Nuo hurriedly lowered his head, drank the hot water in his hand, and left in a hurry.

The genius was dim, and the workers hadn't arrived yet, so Tang Yuan took advantage of this time to start doing facelifts.

The mung bean paste filtered last night has been standing overnight, Tang Yuan slowly poured out the water on the surface, and you can see that a layer of white but slightly green powder has settled on the bottom of the basin.

Tang Yuan scraped the mung bean powder from the bottom of the basin into a small clay basin, added water to dilute it, and when the dilution was almost done, he lit the stove and boiled a pot of water.

While boiling the water, he rummaged through the kitchen and found a small earthenware plate with a flat bottom. He didn't know when he bought it.

This small pottery dish is only the size of an adult man's palm, and the bottom is very shallow and thin.

He washed it with water, then held the small ceramic plate with chopsticks in his right hand, and a spoon in his left hand, scooped a spoonful of diluted mung bean powder water into the pot, and the mung bean powder water just barely covered the bottom of the plate.

The water in the cauldron had already boiled, steaming upwards, Tang Yuan moved his wrist, and the small pottery plate swayed back and forth against the surface of the water. The mung bean powder water was scalded and slowly solidified. Submerge the small clay dish, shake it a couple of times in hot water, then place it in a basin with cold water on one side.

At this time, the mung bean powder water at the bottom of the plate had completely formed and turned into a skin. Tang Yuan took out the skin with his hands and put it in cold water.

The finished facelift was transparent, clear, and slippery. Tang Yuan repeated the action to finish all the remaining mung bean powder water.

It takes five catties of mung beans to make one catty of skinned mung beans. It is easier to preserve them if they are dried in the sun, but Tang Yuan only makes one catty. Well, he'll make some more tomorrow.

Tang Yuan cut the round strips into strips the width of a thumb, and then put them in a dustpan aside to drain the water.

At this time, there was movement at the door. It was Su's mother, Mrs. Zhou and the workers who came.

"Yo, Xiaoyuan, you didn't go to the store today?" Su's mother was surprised when she saw Tang Yuan, "I saw you making something yesterday, have you finished it, if you haven't finished it, come to my house to do it, my guy Staying in the house all day and not coming out, we are a group of hula-la, I am afraid that we will disturb you."

The main reason is that so many people are not safe!Every time Xiaoyuan makes new things, which one does not make money?Since it is making money, it must be covered!With so many people here, there is no guarantee that anyone will be careful!

"No need, I'm done," Tang Yuan wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve, and let Mother Su and the others enter the room, "You guys go in."

Mother Su and Aunt Zhou responded, and said to Tang Yuan, "Call us if you have anything to do."

Tang Yuan nodded. After all the workers entered the house, he closed the kitchen door and went to look in the alkaline water tank in the house.

The tank is medium in size, and every seven days or so Tang Yuan will check whether there is still alkaline water in the tank, and then refill it according to the amount.

Now there is only half a tank of alkaline water in the tank, Tang Yuan frowned lightly, he only added alkaline water three days ago, how could it be used up so quickly.

"Xiao Yuan, what are you looking at?" Seeing Tang Yuan standing in front of the tank and looking at it for a long time, Mother Su couldn't help asking, and then raised her voice, "By the way, remember to add the water in the tank again."

Tang Yuan closed the lid, turned to ask Mother Su: "Auntie, have you been using a lot of water here recently?"

"No one paid much attention to the number of people," Mrs. Zhou looked at Tang Yuan while kneading the dough, "What's wrong?"

"I just feel that the water is used up much faster than before." Tang Yuan's eyes turned around among the workers without any trace, and pointed to the noodle drying rack in the yard, "but the noodles made are still as good as the noodles." Same as before."

Hearing what he said, Mother Su and Aunt Zhou also stopped what they were doing, looked at each other suspiciously, frowned and said, "It's true, but it's really weird, everyone is making noodles here, and there is a lot of water in it." , and I haven’t seen anyone doing bad things.”

Noodles with too much alkaline water will be very hard, unable to be rolled out, and alkaline noodles cannot be made.

"Did someone accidentally spill it?" Su's mother looked at the worker, "Has anyone spilled it?"

Everyone waved their hands: "No, no, we are very careful, no one has spilled it!"

The water looks like someone else's secret recipe, how dare they spill it, it's too late to be careful!Otherwise, if they get upset and let them go, they will have to watch the money slip away!

"Boss Tang, we really haven't spilled the water here, we are very careful every time we scoop up water!"

"Yes, yes, we all know that water is precious! How dare you spill it!"

Everyone scrambled to explain, for fear that Tang Yuan would blame them.

This alkaline water is not precious, but it is the key to making alkaline noodles. If someone else takes it, even if they don't find out how it is made, it will be a trouble.

"I know, let's not talk about this first," Tang Yuan said, seeing that everyone was worried, unable to settle down to do things, "you should do things first."

It is absolutely impossible for someone to spill this alkaline water. Whether the side of the tank is wet or not is easy to be discovered.

As for who it is, it's hard to say. Tang Yuan scanned the crowd and ruled out Su's mother first. Leaving aside personal emotional factors, Su Nuo was still working in his shop, and the wages were generous, and the Su family was still helping him collect vegetables. Very good, nothing went wrong, Su's mother is helping him now, and the salary is not bad, there is no need to take risks to do such a thing.

The suspicion of Aunt Zhou is also very small. One is that she is not the kind of person who would do such a thing, and the other is that she and Su's mother always stay together, and they are in charge of things, and they are always subject to other people's supervision when they do things. Pay attention, if it's really what she did, it's easy to be found.

Tang Yuan's eyes skipped over everyone one by one, and stayed on an aunt whose movements were a little stiff.

He remembered that this aunt was the one who asked him what new food he was cooking yesterday, Tang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at her, and glanced over the gourd in her hand.

He didn't make a sound, but found an excuse to call Su's mother out, and whispered his doubts.

Su's mother suddenly became angry, and rushed in to find the aunt, Tang Yuan stopped her, and said in a low voice: "I'm not sure without evidence, you will find an excuse to see what is in her gourd later, if not As for the water in the tank, you just pretend you don’t know anything, pay more attention to it, and find a reason to fire her after a few days.”

Regardless of whether the aunt did it or not, he doesn't plan to stay anymore, he doesn't like other people talking too much.

"Okay! I got it!" Mother Su was still very angry, and adjusted outside the door for a while before entering the room. She took a look at the aunt, and pulled Aunt Zhou to whisper in the corner for a while.

"Mother Xiaohua, what's in your gourd?" Aunt Zhou asked Xiaohuaniang pretending to be curious.

Little Hua Niang paused, raised her head and said, "Hey, what else can I have, it's filled with water!"

"There's water here, why do you bother?" Mother Su smiled and walked to Xiaohuaniang, and stretched out her hand to the gourd, "I want to taste how delicious the water in your gourd is, and it's worth your time. Bring it home!"

Xiao Huaniang blocked it subconsciously, and quickly withdrew her hand when Su's mother looked up at her, and said with a smile: "This sudden shock surprised me, you can taste it if you want, it's not a good thing, it's just a taste of the past." A few days ago, Xiaohua's father grabbed a few handfuls of tea leaves from the mountain, and I brewed them with bubble water, and there was a smell."

"Then I'll try it." Mother Su opened the lid while staring at Xiaohuaniang's face.

Little Hua Niang couldn't tell she was nervous, she smiled and looked at Mother Su attentively.

Su's mother dubiously took a sip and smacked her mouth.

Aunt Zhou winked at her, with a smile on her face: "How is it, is it good?"

Mother Su shook her head slightly at her, returned the gourd to Xiaohuaniang, and boasted: "It's really good, help me later and ask your family where the tea is picked, and I will ask my brother Nuo to pick some."

"Brother Nuo is free to pick tea for you now!" Speaking of Brother Nuo, an aunt gave Su's mother a look, "You can show off here! Who doesn't know that he is working in Boss Tang's shop now, Boss Tang Such a generous shot, and kindness to others, this is a job that I dare not even think about!"

"That's right," the other aunt looked at Su's mother and smiled, "Brother Nuo is good-looking, good-natured, and very sensible in the past, and now he can add such a large amount of income to the family. We envy you in our dreams Dude!"

As we talked, the topic diverged again.

"Hey, isn't Brother Nuo also sixteen?" An old lady looked at Su's mother, "Should we say kiss?"

Su's mother: "His birthday the day after tomorrow will be seventeen, so I want to talk about others."

Speaking of this, Su's mother is also worried. Nuo'er in their family is good everywhere, but he happens to be a brother. People who are a little richer are generally not willing to marry a brother to be the king. It is absolutely impossible for Su's mother to let Nuo'er She is a small one, but Su's mother from a poor family is reluctant to bear Nuo Geer's hardship.

She said to everyone: "If you have a suitable one, please help me to look at it. The family doesn't want to be rich, just live well, but the character must be good, and the family must be kind."

Xiao Huaniang opened her mouth and said, "Isn't there a ready-made one? Boss Tang looks handsome and knows how to do business. There is no one else in the family. Brother Nuo can be the master of the house after marrying. What a great thing!"

After finishing speaking, he quickly covered his mouth again, and said in a sharp voice, "Oh, look at my mouth! Boss Tang is not short of money, so of course he wants to find a good-looking girl! Why am I so bald? It's on Nuo Ge'er!"

Mother Su was not angry, nor was she angry, she held her breath in her chest and choked enough.

Tang Yuan outside the house coughed twice, Mrs. Zhou quickly bumped Su's mother with her hand, Su's mother came back to her senses, and went out to explain the gourd to Tang Yuan.

Tang Yuan: "Later, I'll trouble you and Mrs. Zhou to keep an eye on her. Let her go after a few days."

He's not deaf, and what the aunt said just now was clearly satirizing Nuo Ge'er, so he wouldn't keep her anymore just because of this!

"Okay!" The depression in Su's mother's chest slowly dissipated, and she looked at Tang Yuan, with a bit of embarrassment on her face, "Well, Xiao Yuan, don't take what Xiao Hua's mother said just now, it's all She was talking nonsense."

Tang Yuan didn't say yes or no, he just said, "I'll go to the store first, and I'll leave it to you and Aunt Zhou."

"Hey! You go!"

When Su's mother saw what he said, she didn't have the nerve to ask further.

When Tang Yuan took something from the kitchen and went out, she slapped her head and said angrily, "What is this called?"
