Song Yiren still made braised pork and braised eggs. With the sales records on the town’s central street, she increased the amount of braised pork, so it was time-consuming to make today.
I also picked out the required fungi and fungus and put them in a basin for use tomorrow morning. After sorting it out, I found that there were a lot of more mountain products in the past two days and she could not consume them at all.
She thought for a moment: this thing is available in the village and even in the town, and it can't be sold for a lot of money...
Aunt Li from Jinbaohe came back with her child, and the three of them began to clean the river sand. A basin of river sand was washed five or six times, and a whole tank of water was used up, and finally it was completely clean!
The clear water sand was put into the pot, and the river sand was boiled with warm heat. Misty water vapor began to emerge from the stove in the yard. In just a moment, the river sand dried up and formed into pieces. Song Yiren used a shovel to stir the sand blocks and flipped them evenly. After a while, the pot was filled with sand of even grain size.
Song Yiren quickly tried the temperature. Just as it was, she poured all the melon seeds peeled from the Nine-Dan Lotus, and still kept the heat on low, stir-frying slowly until the surface of the melon seeds was slightly browned...
While watching Song Yiren stir-frying melon seeds, Jin Bao listened to his mother telling him how delicious the rice made by Yiren's sister was. Jin Bao's eyes narrowed, and he was so happy that it seemed as if the delicious ones were in his mouth.
He used his hand to break a melon seed, and the sound was crisp and beautiful, not at all like the ones sold outside, which were always a little wet or burnt! Jin Bao sat on the bench and threw the melon seed kernels into his mouth from the air.
Then his eyes lit up.
"How is it? Brother Jinbao!" Song Yiren and Aunt Li both looked at Jinbao with eager eyes.
Jin Bao thought for a while, but couldn't think of a suitable word, so he could only scratch his head and say, "It's delicious!" There was no way. There was only the fourth brother in the family who was studying, and the three of them were not the materials for studying.
"Stupid!" Aunt Li pushed Jinbao, pushed him away, reached out to grab a handful of melon seeds, and started tasting it.
"How is it? Aunt Li, last time I said I would make some snacks for you, that's it!"
"Yeah!" Aunt Li nodded, but kept peeling the melon seeds in her hands and putting them in her mouth. "It's really delicious! If the ones sold outside were either battered or the moisture from the Nine Dinglian had not been stir-fried out, and the smell of wild grass was rarely fried. It was rare to stir-fry the heat and time were so good!"
After eating a few more, Aunt Li continued to praise: "Yiren, your skills are all over the town, no! There are so many people in the county town that can't be found 1."
"Auntie, it's not because of my good skills! It's because of this sand." Song Yiren scooped a spoonful of sand and smiled. "Sand can heat the melon seeds evenly. In addition, the heat from the sand can also make the melon seeds less likely to get rid of them!"
"So that's it! Yiren, you are so awesome!" Jin Bao jumped up and shouted, if it weren't for the difference between men and women, Yiren was still pregnant, he really wanted to go up and hug her!
"Nothing is light or heavy!" Aunt Li slapped Jin Bao. "What are you shouting? I'm afraid that people don't know! What a clever mind, how can you let others learn it!" Aunt Li pointed to the sand in the pot.
"Yes, yes, mom, I was wrong!"
"It's okay, aunt, I took advantage of Brother Jinbao's return to make this fried melon seeds just to let him see if he can take it back to the restaurant for sale!"
"Would you like to sell melon seeds to a restaurant, or to sell them in a restaurant, and share the money?"
"Sell it to a restaurant. My body is getting heavier day by day... It's easier to save your worries, and your boss will make more money!"
"What about the price?" Jin Bao was an apprentice in the restaurant's kitchen. He was influenced by the business and seemed to be decent and had a comprehensive mindset.
"There are very few melon seeds on the market now. The ordinary quality is only two copper coins per kilogram, and the price cannot be bought. The best selling is usually supplied on those big occasions where money is spent, which may cost fifteen cents per kilogram." When Song Yiren visited the market and shops before, he would inquire about the market conditions and prices.
"Yiren said it's good!" Jin Bao nodded, agreeing with Song Yiren's statement.
"The melon seeds I stir-fry with sand are crispy and mellow, with sweet taste and no burnt. I will select them later to choose those melon seeds with full grains and good color. But because we use sand to stir-fry, our labor and difficulty are much lower, so our price can also be reduced!" Song Yiren calculated. "A pound of seven copper plates is enough!"
"In addition, you can tell the shopkeeper that in addition to the Jiudeng Lotus melon seeds, we can also stir-fry pumpkin melon seeds, peanuts, pecans, golden chestnuts and other things! The prices are different, but pinzh i are all as good as these Jiudeng Lotus melon seeds!"
"Yiren, please speak slowly, I will recite it carefully and say that we will give it to our shopkeeper so that you will not delay your business!"
"Brother Jinbao, aunt, and fourth brother are at school, do you have paper and pen at home?"
"Yes, yes, Jinbao will take it. In the west wing, you can get a few more pieces of paper, which is not enough to draw it!" Aunt Li instructed Jinbao to go home to get the paper, thinking that Song Yiren would draw these things.
Soon, Jinbao came back with a few pieces of yellow paper. Compared with rice paper, yellow paper is much cheaper, so students from ordinary families usually practice calligraphy on yellow paper.
Song Yiren studied for a master's degree in modern times. In order to make up for the regret that she had no special skills since childhood, she learned calligraphy. It was not that she liked it, but she had to learn basic skills from childhood. She had passed that age, but her calligraphy was different. She could learn well at the age of eight or eighty.
After taking the paper and pen, she began to write on the yellow paper.
"Yiren, you can write?" Aunt Li spoke in surprise, and Jin Bao also looked at her with curious eyes.
"How many people do you know? When I was a child, the old scholar taught the students, and I also listened to it outside." This excuse was something Song Yiren had already thought of.
There is an old scholar in Songjiazhuang. The old scholars taught them for a long time when they were young. It is precisely because of this that a few children in the village went to study in the county school, including the fourth child of Aunt Li's family.
Later, at the strong request of Mrs. Chen and Song Yi, it was the old scholar who built the bridge and tied the thread, and Song Chuyun married the scholar.
Because of this, Song Yiren's words did not arouse any suspicion from Aunt Li and Jin Bao.
"Brother Jinbao, if this transaction is done, we will share the profits with you, and you will share the profits with 40%!" Song Yiren said to Jinbao while writing.
"So many? Yiren, you came up with this method. I'm just running around and talking..."
"There are so many places to work for you! I'm so heavy, and the job of stir-frying melon seeds is a physical job. You have to come in the future, so it's best for the restaurant to purchase goods three times a month. You come back to get the goods and take them away when you leave. Of course, I will help as much as possible if my body allows it!"
Aunt Li looked at Jin Bao in a daze, and took the conversation: "Yiren, I know you trust my family, but you have taught us the tricks of this roasted guy, and this will be something you will be with you in the future..."
"Aunt, am I not at ease with your family? Besides, I will have new recipes in the future, don't worry! And if I don't teach Brother Jinbao, I can't do it myself, so I can't make a penny!"
Aunt Li thought about it and it was indeed the case. She nodded and responded, but she still said, "Then we have to 30% of it, 40% is too much!"
"Aunt, let's settle the matter when we negotiate with the shopkeeper!" Song Yiren decided to avoid this round of pulling.
