Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 6

Apart from selling vegetables, Xu An went to the morning market today to see if he could find another way to make a living.

The daily output of the vegetable garden is limited, and today's output can be considered high.When the output is small, there may only be a few tomatoes, which is only enough for one meal for the family.

Even if there is today's output every day, the income is only less than [-], and it will be at most [-] after a month. It is better to go to the construction site to do part-time work.Eighty a day, two thousand and four a month, six hundred more than selling vegetables.

After looking at every stall, thoughts popped up in his mind, but they were quickly rejected by Xu An.

The main reason is that he only has less than [-] start-up funds, such as grilled sausages, egg-filled pancakes and egg waffles, which are very popular among students, can only be rejected if they require electrical equipment.

The only things that can be considered are sandwiches and lo mei, which can be prepared at home and sold directly in the market.

But in the town, petty bourgeois food such as sandwiches are not popular. Two slices of bread sandwich a la carte and meat. For those who have to work in the fields or go to work, they can digest it without moving twice, and they are not full at all.

Braised mei can be considered, the fragrance is strong, and the taste is not bad. Cut it, cut it, and put it on a plate, it is a dish on the table.

But after looking at the price of frozen products, Xu An left.

Frozen chicken feet are [-] catties, frozen chicken wings are [-] catties, and frozen chicken legs are cheaper at [-] yuan per catty.The price of pig offal and other miscellaneous things is more expensive than pork, and beef is even more unimaginable.

Apart from the spices, the rest of the money can only buy three or four catties at most, and this stuff will be gone after one person tastes it.

It seems that it is more reliable to go to the construction site to do odd jobs. After rebirth, my strength has also increased. It is easy to move a hundred catties. The construction site is my final destination.

Find some time in two days to go to the construction site in the city and see how the temporary workers on the construction site are paid. The salary should not be lower than that of apprentices.

After walking around the market, when he returned to the stall, most of the vegetables on Xu Guoqiang's stall had been sold out.

Seeing that there were not many vegetables left, Xu An helped sell them when he returned home.After telling people a few different ways to cook the vegetables on the stall, they were sold out quickly.

Several people even asked Xu An to place some other vegetables next time, and then talk about a few recipes.

Everyone knows how to cook these days, but most of the meals they make are just to satisfy their hunger, and it is far from delicious.It's a good day to be able to eat enough before, and to eat meat every meal, regardless of the taste.

But with the development of the economy, people have more spare money in their pockets, and they have more pursuit of the taste of food.

These days, the Internet is not as developed as it is in later generations. If you want to cook something on the Internet, you can find different recipes from all over the country.Even in the later generations with a fairly developed Internet, most of the people who can play with mobile phones are young people.

These recipes dictated by Xu An may seem commonplace to later generations, but now they give everyone a sense of novelty. This method sounds delicious.

With Xu An's help today, Xu Guoqiang arrived home almost an hour earlier than usual.

Seeing that Xu Guoqiang sold out the vegetables so quickly, the second auntie was overjoyed, and while handing him a change of clothes, she said happily: "Cabbage and green beans are so popular today, you can pick more tomorrow. It’s easy to sell more.”

The children of Xu Guoqiang's family had already gone to college, and they were the only two left at home. Xu Guoqiang put on clean clothes in the yard, and put the clothes stained with mud spots by the well.

"It's not that the food is popular today, it's that Anzi's mouth is amazing."

"What's the matter with An Zi?" The second aunt sat down by the well, pumped up some well water, and began to wash the clothes.

"He also went to the market today to set up a stall selling vegetables, right next door to me. His mouth can speak eloquently, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he coaxed a group of people to buy all the vegetables on his stall. I rubbed against him The light, sold out early and went home.”

"It's so powerful. It was Seventh Grandma who set up a stall before. I didn't expect him to have this ability."

"It's a pretty good kid. I'm going to get up early tomorrow morning, so I can pick some more and sell them at the fair."

"Didn't you say you missed An Zi's favor today?"

"Tomorrow we'll still be side by side." Xu Guoqiang said triumphantly.

When Xu An returned home, he heard the deafening cries of the two cubs from a long distance away, which completely covered Grandma Xu's voice.

"Why are there two weeping insects at home? They cry so loudly that my brother's ears are almost deaf from crying."

"elder brother!"

"Wow, ah, brother!"

The two stopped immediately when they heard Xu An's voice, broke away from Grandma Xu's hand, and ran towards the courtyard gate.

As soon as Xu An opened the courtyard door, the two of them hugged Xu An's calf from left to right, and his legs were covered with tears and snot.

Fortunately, I was wearing shorts, otherwise I would have to change into a pair of pants.

"Sit down, let's take off."

Hearing this, the two sat down on Xu An's muddy feet, and hugged Xu An's calf tightly.Come on, now I have to wash two pairs of pants.

After shaking and feeling that the two sat down, Xu An strode forward, Xu Kang and Xu Le let out a happy scream.

After arguing for a while, I sent the two of them to play in the sand under the tree.

Looking at the sky, the sky is clear and cloudless, and it is relatively cool at this time of the morning.

Xu An carried Grandma Xu out, lay down on the rocking chair under the longan tree, and then went to prepare the meal for noon.

Lift the stone covering the well, and pull up a rope beside the well. A plastic bag is tied to the end of the rope, which contains more than half a catty of pork left over from yesterday.

There is still so much meat, so let's have a Hakka dish stuffed with bitter gourd, stir-fried Chinese cabbage and tomato egg soup, two dishes and one soup, perfect.

While Xu An was preparing the dishes, there was a knock on the courtyard door, and when he opened it, Xu Heping came, holding two perch in his hand.

With a playful smile, he stuffed the two fish into Xu An's hands, and quickly ran to Grandma Xu and squatted down: "Grandma Seven is good, your legs are better."

"It's peace. Why do you still bring fish when you come to find Anzi? You won't be allowed next time. If you want to bring fish to your door next time, let Anzi throw you out."

"Grandma Seven, my parents are out on business, and I'm here to eat at your house. These two fish are my ration."

After speaking, Xu Heping ran to Xu Kang and Xu Le and played with them in the sand.

Now that they were delivered to the door, Xu An was not too polite, and began to figure out what kind of dishes these two fish could make.

Although the fish heads are not big, but there are two, let's have a fish head tofu soup; fish slices and a stir-fried sea bass fillet.

"Peace, go to Majia Village to buy a piece of tofu and come back, and have fish head soup at noon."

"Okay."

Xu Heping didn't take the money from Xu An's hand, and went out with a whoosh.

There are five people eating, two young men and two greedy cats who can eat two big bowls of meat, and they have to cook half a catty of rice to eat.

When I opened the rice tank, I saw that the rice had almost bottomed out, and the bulge at the bottom of the tank was clearly visible.

There is just over a catty of rice left, and I have to buy some rice tomorrow.But thinking that sister-in-law Ming'er will come over, if there is too much rice at home, it will not be easy to cry poorly, so let's buy it the day after tomorrow.

Stuffed bitter gourd is a Hakka home-cooked dish. Cut the bitter gourd into three-finger-thick pieces, put it in a pot and blanch for 1 minute, and set aside.

Cut the meat into minced meat, add an egg, a little light soy sauce and salt to taste and mix well.

Normally, starch needs to be added and stirred evenly, but there is no starch in the kitchen, so Xu An skipped the step of adding starch.Although it will affect the taste a little, but in general it is not a big problem.

Stuff the mixed meat into the hollowed-out bitter gourd, heat the oil, and fry the bitter gourd on both sides until golden.

Prepare a secret sauce and pour it on the bitter gourd, cook until the juice is reduced, and it is ready. Put it on a plate and you're done.

Xu Heping felt greedy when he smelled it, but Xu Kang and Xu Le were also there, he was too embarrassed to steal it, so he could only swallow his saliva desperately.

The next thing to do is fish head tofu soup.

Fry the fish head marinated with ginger slices and salt in hot oil until both sides are golden and slightly burnt, then add an appropriate amount of water and cook until the soup is thick and white, add tofu and cook for 5 minutes, finally add an appropriate amount of salt to taste, sprinkle Add chopped green onion and coriander and cook.

Boiling water to blanch the sea bass fillet until it is half-cooked, sauté minced garlic, add chili millet and stir-fry evenly, pour in the fish fillet and fry until cooked, season with appropriate amount of salt, sprinkle with chopped green onion and coriander and it's done.

The last stir-fried cabbage is even more simple. After sautéing the minced garlic, pour in the cabbage and stir-fry until soft, season with salt.

It took an hour and a half to prepare the three dishes, one soup and one meal, and it was already eleven o'clock at noon, which happened to be time for dinner.

Except for Xu An, the few people have long been greedy for the smell, and when the dishes came out, it was obvious that Grandma Xu had a look of anticipation in her eyes.

Who doesn't want a good meal when life allows it.

The five people swept away the food on the table like a storm, and half a catty of rice would be enough for five people. Xu Heping looked at the empty pot and muttered that he could eat another big bowl.

"Anzi, when did you learn this skill of cooking?"

"When I set up a stall, I often hear them talking about how to make vegetables after buying them. If you listen to them too much, you will get used to them."

Xu Heping just sighed, but didn't go into details, and suddenly smiled wickedly on his face: "Do you know Uncle Dongliang from Grandma Wu's family?"

"Xu Dongliang?"

"Yes, that's him." Xu Heping nodded: "He went to work on the construction site with other people in the village, and after two days he came back just complaining.

Everyone knows that the work on the construction site is tiring, but what is more terrible than the work is the food on the construction site.

The dishes are all boiled with water, and the green, oily, yellow and clear look is unappetizing; finally, I saw a meat dish, three pieces of meat in one pot, and all of them were fatty meat.

I didn't finish the last meal, so I added some other dishes to the next meal and continued to cook, and the whole pot was stewed.

The cooked rice was either too watery, like porridge, or it was not cooked properly, and the teeth still gritted after one bite.

According to Uncle Dongliang, the pigs in the village eat better than this.He was so angry that he went to work with two large steamed buns in his arms. When he ate at lunch, he ate the big steamed buns with mustard greens and dried fish, which were even more delicious than those meals. "

"Is there no restaurant nearby? The wages for their work on the construction site are not low. Ten yuan or eight yuan is still affordable."

Xu Heping gave a 'cut' sound.

"Yes, there are, but those restaurants look down on people and dislike their dirty work on the construction site, so they are not allowed to enter the restaurant to eat. If you pay the same money, you can only squat outside the store to eat. Who can bear it, it is better to eat at the construction site Free meals, and there is a chair to sit on.”

"Too."

Xu An's hand brushing the dishes suddenly paused, and he suddenly remembered the personal video he saw when he was playing with his mobile phone in later generations. The main content of the video was to make boxed lunch at home and sell it on the construction site.

It seems, a little messed up?
