Chapter 225 Sweet pastry
Grandma Liang and Liang Xiaobei have already cleaned up the yard, all the red strawberries have been picked, Er Gouzi, Wang Xi and Eight-year-old Mao have taken some, and the supply and marketing cooperative has paid for the rest.
Now strawberries can rest for a while.
Grandma Liang has already prepared all the offerings for the stove. Liang Xiaobei looked at her sister and said, "Sister, there are still 7 days until the Chinese New Year. What should we do with the carrots in our field? Shall we dig them out after the new year?"
Liang Xiaonan said: "Tomorrow I will go to the town to pay New Year greetings to Mayor You, and tell him that carrots were dug out years ago."
"Then ask people from our village to plan carrots?"
"You don't need people from our village. Go to Nanfeng Town tomorrow, and someone will send a straw basket to the yard over there. See if you like that person. If you like him, ask him to help you dig carrots. Tell him you can dig carrots for an acre. Finish, give 3 yuan, plus 10 catties of carrots, if you don't like him, then don't mention it."
Liang Xiaonan told him that a straw basket cost 10 cents, and he would pay them the bill on the spot.
When it was getting dark, Grandma Liang began to worship the stove and asked Xiaobei to close the outer door so that no one would be allowed in.
There was a portrait of the Stove Lord on the wall in front of the stove. Grandma Liang set the dining table with a bowl of meat, a bag of candy, and a straw basket of strawberries picked today.
Grandma Liang murmured: "Master Stove, this year Xiaonan and Xiaobei are very diligent, life is going well, you must tell the Jade Emperor in the sky, the two children are very hardworking, next year we must have a good harvest and have food every day! "
Liang Xiaonan doesn’t understand either, it’s very interesting to watch, is this a sacrificial stove?
After dinner, Grandma Liang said to Liang Xiaonan: "We have enough food this year, shall we steam buns?"
Liang Xiaonan blinked, and searched for information in his mind for a while. He probably knew what steamed buns meant. People with good family conditions steamed all kinds of steamed buns, buns, and pastries until the Lantern Festival. , the longer you eat, the better your life will be.
Dakeng Village is too poor. As far as she can remember, she has never encountered steamed buns. Wang Cuiying used to have some money, but Zhang Xinyi said not to reveal her wealth, so they never steamed buns before.
"Steam!" Liang Xiaonan is really not afraid now. Afraid of revealing wealth? She is already very compassionate if she doesn't show off her wealth!
Her rice grains and flour can be said to be the New Year's goods sent by the leaders of the town, county, and city. If you want to say that she has nothing to do with business.
The people in Dakeng Village, she just wanted to let them see her rise clearly.
The next morning, Liang Xiaonan went to Xiaoyun Town by bike.
When approaching the town, she released a pickup truck from the space, and the rear compartment was filled with a bucket full of strawberries.
I went to the supply and marketing cooperative, and it happened that Li Shaoping was walking in front of the counter. He is the manager, but it’s the Chinese New Year these days. No matter how difficult the year is, everyone has shopping needs during the Chinese New Year. There are many people and it’s crowded. He is by the side lend a hand.
Liang Xiaonan saw many people crowded in front of the counter and asked, "Are there any strawberries?"
"When will the stock be available?"
The salesperson was too busy to touch the ground, no matter how good-tempered he was, he either didn’t answer, or just said, “No more! No more!”
Liang Xiaonan smiled. The purchase price of strawberries is 1 yuan, and Li Shaoping sells them for 1 yuan and 5 yuan. So many people buy them? She took a closer look, and immediately understood that the person who asked Strawberry seemed to belong to a certain unit.
Seeing Liang Xiaonan, he immediately walked out from behind the counter and said with a smile, "Comrade Xiao Liang, what do you want to buy?"
"It's very lively here!" Liang Xiaonan didn't answer his question, pointing to the car and said, "I'm here to save the day."
Li Shaoping saw that the inside of her pickup truck was covered with plastic sheeting, but he didn't know what it was. He had a hope in his heart, would there be strawberries?
Open the side gate and let her drive into the yard.
This yard is bigger than Liang Xiaonan's in Nanfeng Town. There are several large warehouses inside, piled with various commodities.
Liang Xiaonan opened the plastic paper on the car, revealing a car full of strawberries.
Because strawberry is a fresh fruit, it is not only a little bubble, but also afraid of pressure, which takes up a lot of space. She was released from the space just now, and only loaded a little over a ton.
"Oh, it's really strawberries. I thought there were none left." Li Shaoping said excitedly, "I went to your house yesterday, and your brother said that they took all of them."
"Let's go through the scales!" Liang Xiaonan said, "I planted these in Nanfeng Town, and the city took more than half of them, and that's all that's left."
It’s good to have two yards, lying is so smooth!
Li Shaoping was overjoyed. These goods are not worrying about selling. Now he brings them from the backyard to the front counter, and immediately earns half of the money!
A few days ago, I was too timid. I didn’t dare to sign an exclusive sales agreement. If I signed an exclusive sales agreement, the two counties next door would have robbed them all.
He didn't say anything, and immediately unloaded, weighed, and settled the bill. Liang Xiaonan got more than 2,000 yuan, and left to find You Guoqing.
You Guoqing and the others have to work until before New Year’s Eve, so the office in the town is still very lively.
She was still driving the pickup truck with a pannier on the back, and You Guoqing said, "Come as soon as you come, and bring a gift?"
Everyone in the office came over with a smile: "Comrade Xiao Liang, what good things did you bring again? Is it a strawberry?"
Liang Xiaonan lifted the pannier, lifted the lid, and took out several cloth pockets filled with walnuts.
In this era, it is so beautiful to eat a few walnuts. Walnuts have always been a good nourishing food among the people.
You Guoqing took the walnut, and his first move was to grab the door clip. Liang Xiaonan said there was no need to clip it. This is a fruit walnut, which can be crushed by hand.
You Guoqing squeezed two walnuts in the palm of his hand suspiciously, and squeezed the whole walnut apart. Let alone a big man, even a child would have no problem squeezing it open.
"Why are they so thin?" You Guoqing said, "The walnuts we usually eat have thick skins, less meat, and a lot of flattened ones. This is good, with such thin skins."
He stuffed a walnut in his mouth and tasted it, his eyes widened immediately. Is this a walnut? Not only fragrant, but also very sweet and crisp.
He ate one, and then another. Several people in the office were embarrassed, and they were greedy. The mayor didn't say anything, so they were embarrassed to do it directly.
You Guoqing asked Liang Xiaonan: "You gave this to me?"
Liang Xiaonan said: "Well, I wish you New Year's greetings in advance."
You Guoqing saw that there were four or five pockets, and each pocket contained 3 catties.
He opened a bag and put it on the table, and said, "You guys should try it too. If it tastes good, let's buy some. Xiaoliang, how much are these walnuts for a catty? How many more?"
"No more, that's all. Someone helped me bring some from the south. I ate it and it was delicious, so I brought it to you."
"Oh, it turned out that someone else brought it to you!" Don't think too much, after eating this bag, there is nothing left! Mayor You directly put away the opened pocket.
When Liang Xiaonan mentioned carrots, Mayor You immediately became happy. Food matters are more important than walnuts!
"Let's go, let me go to the field with you to see how the carrots are growing!"
You Guoqing is about to go to the county to hold a year-end meeting. There are 12 towns under the county, and none of them has a good harvest, and Xiaoyun Town is at the bottom.
He is too embarrassed to go to a meeting, and every time he sits at the end, he dare not babble when eating.
