Chapter 5: Making Money

Brother Jiang frowned tightly, his scrutinizing eyes kept falling on the younger sister, and he asked with hesitation, "Can you believe that it's just a dream?"

"Second brother, don't you think I'm a little different? I don't speak so weakly, and I also escaped Jiang Chengcheng's frame-up. I also saw those herbs in my dream. Are they really going to sell them tomorrow?

You know it, anyway, you are often lazy at work, so you don’t have time to take me to the supply and marketing cooperative, right? If you become our family, you will be rich."

Jiang Ningning continued to coax her harder. What she said was reasonable and her eyes were filled with confidence.

Brother Jiang saw that she was indeed much more lively than before, and she could still talk to grandma. Thinking of the current state of the family, he sighed and said, "Okay, I'll take you to give it a try."

"Thank you, second brother!"

Jiang Ningning went to bed early that night after washing up. It had to be said that beds in this era were really hard and difficult to sleep on. She missed her modern Simmons soft bed.

She kept tossing until midnight before she fell asleep. When she woke up the next day, it was already three o'clock in the morning. Only her mother was at home, and everyone else went to work.

"Ning Ning, wake up. There is breakfast here, and there are steamed buns in the pot. You can eat it when you are hungry. Mom has to go back to her parents' house, and she won't be back until tonight."

Li Laner cleared the table and explained to her, her steps hurried.

"Okay, Mom, I want to eat eggs. Can I borrow two from next door?" Jiang Ningning couldn't help but hit her head and spoke sleepily to her mother. She had not forgotten that she had business to do today.

I don’t know what time the second brother will be back to take her to the supply and marketing cooperative, but it’s always right to prepare things in advance.

Upon hearing this, Li Laner looked embarrassed, and then thought that her daughter was in poor health and had not eaten good food for a long time, so it was rare for her to speak to herself.

He simply gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Mom will lend it to you."

At worst, she would shamelessly take two back from her parents' house and return them later when she buys chickens and eggs for herself.

"Thank you, Mom."

Li Lan'er walked very quickly, and it didn't take long for her to borrow it back. She stood in the kitchen and asked, "Ning Ning, let me put some water in the pot for you to boil."

"No need to cook it, let it sit for a while. I'll do it myself. Mom, go and do your work."

"Okay, then be careful and don't get burned. I'm going out first."

"Uh-huh."

As soon as Li Lan'er left, Jiang Ningning was the only one left in the house. She took a few bites of unpalatable food, then cleared the table and walked into the kitchen.

She first broke the eggs into two bowls, separated the egg whites and yolks, and beat them separately with chopsticks. Add some sugar to the egg whites and beat them until they are dense and will not flow out. Add flour and water to the egg yolks, stir them until there are no particles, and then pour them all in.

At the same time, her hands were sore after beating, and she couldn't help but miss her own egg beater.

Then she brushed oil on the bottom of the pot, poured the whipped liquid into the pot, and covered the rice cooker.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, she went to pack the herbs in the corner of the yard and put them in bags.

After the egg cake was cooked, she let it cool before pouring it out. It was golden in color and slightly steaming. It looked good in appearance, but it was definitely far behind compared to future generations.

Jiang Ningning cut it into six pieces and tasted a small piece for herself. The texture was dense and soft, and the sweetness was relatively low, but it was still much more delicious than the steamed buns.

There was no such thing as cake in this era, and the current situation at home did not allow her to make her own cakes and sell them, so she decided to sell this production method to the supply and marketing cooperative.

After Jiang Ningning ate a small piece, she only packed two pieces in the bag and covered the other three pieces in the bowl.

at two o'clock in the afternoon

Brother Jiang's voice came from the door, "Ning Ning, it's time for us to set off."

"Okay." Jiang Ningning took her herbs and two small cakes and went out.

At a glance, I saw a black Phoenix bicycle being pushed outside the yard. It had probably been used for a long time. The paint on the bicycle was peeling off and it was covered in mud.

The backward car style is even more... stylish.

She sat on the back seat, and Brother Jiang stared at the bicycle and set off towards the town. The ride was bumpy and swaying, and Jiang Ningning's buttocks were numb.

When she finally arrived in town, she felt particularly liberated and slowly got out of the back seat.

Looking at the three words "Supply and Marketing Cooperative" on the sign next to her, she went straight inside without hesitation and found a staff member.

"I want to see you to manage things. We made an appointment yesterday. There are important things to discuss."

Jiang Ningning felt guilty in the last two sentences, but she didn't show it on her face.

The staff frowned at her plainly dressed appearance, not believing that such a person knew their manager, let alone had anything important to talk about.

"Little girl, this is not a place for you to come. If you have anything to say to me, it's the same thing and I will tell you on your behalf. Our manager doesn't have time to see anyone right now."

Brother Jiang stood nearby and listened to the conversation between the two of them, not daring to show his anger. You must know that he would not dare to come to a place like the supply and marketing cooperative on weekdays.

The staff member almost looked down upon him in his words.

Seeing that his little sister was looked down upon so much, Brother Jiang felt a little uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do about it, mainly because he didn't know what his little sister wanted to do.

"If you tell him something that can make a lot of money, he will understand." Jiang Ningning gritted her teeth and continued to make up.

She really didn't want to talk nonsense. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to see the person in charge and talk about it.

"Then I'll go ask." The staff saw that the two of them had no intention of feeling inferior, and the little girl said she was making a lot of money, so she didn't dare to delay. What if it was true?

Not long after the staff went upstairs, they came down to reply and asked them to go up to the second office.

"Thank you." Jiang Ningning thanked her and walked upstairs. She was calm and generous.

Brother Jiang was like a quail, looking down at the smooth and smooth floor, he was afraid that someone would step on him without paying attention.

When I got to the office upstairs, I saw an elderly man sitting on a chair. The man also saw their simple clothes and looked down on them.

"You guys came to me and said you wanted to make a lot of money?"

"Yes, hello, please try this first. There is no cake made this way on the market yet. It is my unique craft. I want to cooperate with you."

Jiang Ning didn't mind his slighting and went straight to the point, opening the egg cake in the bag and placing it on the table.

Brother Jiang could still say a few words to the staff downstairs, but this manager had a different temperament. He was instantly suppressed and could only smile awkwardly and stand behind him without saying a word.

The man in charge looked at the thing that had never seen something similar to steamed buns before and got closer and smelled it. He found that the smell was quite fragrant. He tentatively took a piece out to taste it.

It has a soft and fluffy texture in the mouth, which is many times more delicious than hard buns.

The steward's eyes lit up and he devoured a piece. He looked at the young girl in surprise, not expecting that she had such a skill.
