Qiong Yin lingers

Chapter 19 Sweet Potatoes
In [-], there was a great heat.

Huang Simei patted the snow-covered TV and readjusted the antenna of the set-top box.

After the picture gradually became clear, the news broadcast was broadcasting the news: "'One Billion People, [-] Million Merchants' Let's take a look, how does the new selling method become a unique landscape? The train from BJ to QHD passes through a place called 'The Wall' At the small station in Zilu, the local villagers raised their poles to sell and sell souvenirs to tourists..."

Watching the news of "local specialties selling" on TV, Huang Simei was full of thoughts, thinking of the "fresh food" sent back by Zhang Shennian-improved cassava and sweet potato.

Now that the market economy is surging, and people's living standards have been improved, the first and easiest thing to satisfy is undoubtedly "desire for appetite".

Does this sweet potato, which was originally used to satisfy the hunger, have new ideas: for example, in addition to the basic hunger, can it be made into other delicious snacks?For example, is there a new way to eat this delicate vegetable leaf?etc.

Among other things, as far as customer demand in the third market is concerned, after Huang Donghua created a precedent for quality sales, it has also increased: They often ask, is there a new category of local goods?Is the freshness and taste of local products better?

Huang Simi watched the news on TV, and a bold and innovative idea emerged in her mind: Since running on the mountain and running on the sea, why not be self-sufficient and innovate to win?
Just do it, Huang Simei quickly found the newspaper, read all kinds of snack making methods, and walked the streets and alleys to Dongfang Fishing Port, Xinjie, Basuo Village and other places to ask everyone about their food preferences.

I have to say that the master is among the people!

Huang Simei only ran for a few days, and got a lot of good ideas: pastries can be made into potato chips, French fries, sweet potato crystal rolls, sweet potato balls, egg sweet potato balls/sweet potato cakes... dry goods can be made from sweet potato flour and starchy eggs Make sweet potato vermicelli, steam and cut into strips and dry to make dried sweet potato... As for sweet potato leaves, adding oriental special shrimp paste is a new dish with a unique taste. Even if it is fried with garlic, it tastes very good.

With these good ideas, Huang Simei has a little more confidence in opening up wasteland seed potatoes.

After Meng Huaxiang heard her daughter-in-law's plan, she burst into tears: "Are you planning to abandon Qiongju opera and go to sea? You are continuing to open up wasteland and farm land, and you are making all kinds of snacks. What do you care about?"

Seeing that Huang Simi didn't reply, Meng Huaxiang burst into tears: "This is a treasure left by our ancestors! I don't agree with you spoiling Qiongju like this! Although we are filthy, which one of these children has not been pampered since childhood They grow up, but now you let them farm and make snacks, this is forcing them into prostitution! This is forcing them to death! How can I explain to my mother when I am dead?!"

Huang Simei gently followed Meng Huaxiang's back, emotionally moved by the play, and sang earnestly to induce: "Grandmother is on the top and listen to Nong's singing, the expansion of land reclamation is only for the future of Qiongju Opera; It is long; it is difficult for local goods to enter the city, and we are not willing to fall short. Qiong Opera is the foundation of our life, how dare the daughter-in-law forget it rashly? It’s just that I have no choice but to suffer from this disaster, and this is the only way to tide over the difficulties. Sister, don’t be old and sad, The daughter-in-law will protect Qiongju Zhouyuan!"

Huang Simei knew that Meng Huaxiang had only one backlash: no matter what she did, the most important thing was to keep the troupe and the treasures left by her ancestors!
This one is also the creed engraved in Huang Simi's blood - inheriting Qiongju culture is always the ultimate goal!
Although Meng Huaxiang was resentful, but seeing her daughter-in-law working hard all day long and throwing out adapted scripts at night, she did have Qiongju in her heart, and seeing her being tortured by the villagers of Erxian Village, she couldn't bear it.

In the end, Meng Huaxiang still chose to give in: "It's fine to open up wasteland to make snacks, but the Qiongju opera stage in Dongfang Teahouse must guarantee the original performance frequency! Qiongju opera must not break the inheritance and continuation here!"

Huang Simei smiled happily: "Mama, don't worry, I won't fight unprepared! I have thought about it, and I will make an excerpt for every snack! In this way, every time a new product is launched in the teahouse, it will be sold on the same day. Can perform excerpts..."

"You are not Monkey King and you can turn into a monkey. You have to do so many things by yourself, are you busy enough?"

Huang Simei blurted out: "Don't panic, Mom, I'm really too busy, so I'll hire temporary workers first. Look at the teahouse before us, didn't we just ask the big sister who ordered breakfast from the vegetable market to help?"

Before she could finish speaking, Meng Huaxiang frowned and said in a deep voice: "These ungrateful things in Erxian Village now regard you as a plague god, are you sure you can invite someone? Don't fall into the trap by then!"

After being stunned for a while, Huang Simei raised her chin slightly: "If you can't find Erxian Village, you can go to the towns and villages for a visit, and you can always get one."

She has already calculated: Li Jin Studio Weaver's family members can still absorb a wave!
After Zhang Shennian went to sea, the weavers' double-sided embroidered Li brocade clothing became popular overseas, and their income increased a lot. Now many weavers have become the main income-generating family.In addition, the children were raised fat and fat in Dongfang Kindergarten, and now they are at home, but their spines are straight.

Against this background, the weavers' families are very grateful to Dongfang Qiong Opera Troupe.

Therefore, it is not difficult to hire workers.

The difficult thing is how to really help these families get rich.

After a long breath, Huang Simei turned around and looked firmly at the white wasteland: "Grandma! The market economy is a relationship between supply and demand! What we have to do is to pay the villagers enough, and then let them pay to meet our needs." labor required..."

Meng Huaxiang doesn't understand the market economy, nor does she understand Huang Simimei and Zhang Shennian, but at this moment, when she looks at her daughter-in-law, the setting sun falls on her body, like a layer of golden light, and her smile is soft and warm, as if Can resist the vastness of the world.

Standing aside, Meng Huaxiang suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart. That feeling was like sadness and joy, a kind of sadness of "remembering the world, feeling sad and crying alone". The daughter-in-law in front of her seemed to gradually become The blur gradually disappeared, and gradually condensed into the reality in front of me.The Huang Simi in front of her was still the same, but she seemed to have been reborn.

All of a sudden, Meng Huaxiang felt that many years had been added to his heart, vast and desolate, but inexplicably full of strength.

Perhaps, they are all bidding farewell to the past, and they are also reborn in the hasty pace of the times!
Stretching out her hands, it was rare for her to take the initiative, hugged Huang Simi, and patted her thin back: "Shen Nian, the monkey grandson, good luck! I, too!"

Huang Simi was amused by her, and laughed loudly: "Good luck to us!"

*
The first batch of vermicelli and cassava cultivated by Huang Simei were well received by tea house customers when they were released on the market.

Because sweet potatoes have been a "staple food" for a long time, now that the economic conditions are good, people always want to taste its taste again.

The sweet potatoes in the tea house are not directly steamed and served on the table, but are made into various snacks, and a catchy Qiong opera ditty is added.

When making potato balls, tell a legendary excerpt about a young general leaving home to go to the battlefield and his mother sending a message.

"Potato balls and potato balls are round and round, and the taste of Nongshi is Sauvignon Blanc. Even if Guanshan is thousands of miles away, the moon in the two places is as round. Potato balls and potato balls are round and round, and my elder brother took them to Lixiang. He made great achievements on the battlefield and returned safely to comfort his relatives." Kindness. Potato balls are round and round, and children can take them with them to satisfy their hunger. Fight the enemy bravely without fear, and sleep should not miss the opportunity to fight. The words are sincere and loving, and the children must remember them in their hearts. No matter how thorny the journey is, go forward bravely. Go, and return home after you succeed."

When making potato balls, I sang an excerpt about sending blessings to rush for the exam, and my wife told me carefully.

"Yezhi husband puts on his clothes, admiring the full moon inadvertently; every drop of love tears, thread into the loom. Husband rushes to take the exam in the morning, and it is hard to part when the moon is full. Husband rushes to the exam in the morning, and goes to the kitchen to prepare dry food at moon night. Every festival and new year, my family will make meatballs for you. When you are waiting for the title of the gold list, you will come back triumphantly to celebrate the reunion. Husband, please remember your parting instructions, and never imitate others. To serve the country and save great ambitions, you must return home after success. Don't ask for purple dragon clothes, don't be obsessed with benefits."

When making French fries, tell a legendary excerpt about a long-lost family reunion.

"The sound of a mother-in-law is like thunder, and a wave of heat flows into my heart; when I see Jiaoer kneeling on her knees, there are joys and sorrows; a bag of French fries is held in the hand, and a past is brought back. In 18 years, Qianli Xun'er was exhausted, 18 In 18 years, I was anxiously looking forward to my son's return. In 18 years, I searched all over the poor mountains and rivers. In [-] years, I was hoarse.

As my mother, I will raise you after being conceived in October, and I will work hard to raise you in Twelve Winters.Mother looks at you like a coconut tree that is upright and upright, and behaves upright in the world;Unexpectedly, a natural disaster was catastrophe. It was so pitiful that the husband, wife, mother and child left their homes. In the past 18 years, the suffering has been lamented in the sky, and the family love and family relationship are hidden in the heart.Today, we are all happy to meet again, and the sorrows and nostalgia of the past dissipate. "

……

This sweet potato, in times of famine, is swallowed in the stomach when it is cooked, so naturally it cannot taste any beauty.

After life improved, some people even regarded it as rough grain for raising pigs.

Later, because Zhang Shennian went to Sanya to set up a stall, he saw people in Sanya selling roasted sweet potatoes in large iron buckets in winter, and thought of sending the sweet potatoes from Erxian Village to Sanya, but he didn't expect it to become a hit.

But since then, it seems that sweet potatoes have been sold to Sanya in the winter "local goods into the city", and its eating method is just one more "roasting": the sweet potatoes native to Erxian Village are big and sweet. , Roasted in the firebox in winter, it is sizzling and oily, and the mouth is sweet and glutinous, so it is very popular among the stall owners of roasted sweet potato carts.

But there is one thing, Sanya has long summer and short winter, and this kind of sweet potato is basically sold in large quantities, only in winter when vendors are most frequent in the streets.The taste of the sweet potatoes cooked at home is not as sweet and glutinous as that of the oven. Therefore, it has lost the share of family retail in the vegetable market.

The potato seeds sent back by Zhang Shennian are glutinous and sweet. They have a dense powdery grainy feel and retain the sweetness of big sweet potatoes. Not only can they be sold in ovens all year round, but they can also meet family needs.

Of course, what is more important is that with the healthy "diet therapy" provided by Huang Simimei, accompanied by Qiong Opera ditties, only in the teahouse, the running water brought by sweet potatoes has increased the revenue of the teahouse.

Meng Huaxiang was stunned when she heard it. She didn't know much about the market, let alone the difference between the needs of families and vendors. She even had difficulty agreeing with her daughter-in-law's idea of ​​"selling goods in Qiong opera ditties". The sales income made her unable to say anything against it.
After holding back for two months, Meng Huaxiang, who wanted to see Huang Simmei teach her a lesson, could only hug her granddaughter while her daughter-in-law said "the market economy is good", and murmured: "I think it's all because of this monkey, Ah Nian." The grandson is out of control! Talk about the market and keep talking about the demand, hum! I’m old, I can’t care about you anymore, so just make trouble!”

Huang Simimei only graduated from junior high school, and her education is not high, but Zhang Shennian took her to watch the news broadcast every day, and learned a lot. Now she deeply understands: under the tide of "market economy", people's living standards have gradually risen, The demand for good things, especially food, is also gradually increasing.

What she has to do is to find more good food for the people under the tide of market economy, and at the same time, use the little songs sung by Qiong Opera to leave good memories of these good food!

In [-], the beginning of autumn.

After the initial trial, Huang Simei strengthened her confidence in planting two new potato varieties on a large scale.

On the selected auspicious day, when the gongs and drums are beaten and the firecrackers are set off, the Qiong Opera Troupe will expand and open up wasteland again.

In order to celebrate the troupe opening up wasteland again, Huang Simei also wrote an opening speech.

"The sound of firecrackers is jubilant, and the troupe celebrates with gongs and drums.

Opening up wasteland and planting maps for self-improvement, the troupe has blessings to share.

The future is bright, ecstatic, hardworking and hardworking.

Small suckling pig, Jiaji duck, thin skin and tender meat are the most nutritious, quickly grab them into the bamboo cage;
Dong goat, Hele crab, delicacies from mountains and seas are famous far and wide, let’s taste them one by one in the future;
Litchi is red, longan is ripe, then mangoes are picked and fresh oranges are picked, and the baskets will be filled with picks;

In our hometown, local specialties are all outstanding and delicious, and you can eat until your stomach is full.

The victory of a better life is in sight, roll up your sleeves and work hard!
Work hard to get rich and feel happy, and the realization of a well-off life is just around the corner! "

The lyrics of this minor tune are easy to understand and catchy; the tune is based on the rhyme of Qiongju Opera Tongtian, and almost everyone in the troupe can sing it as soon as they hear it.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, everyone waved their hoes and rakes and sang ditties, very happy.

It seems that they are not going to plant sweet potatoes in the field, but on the stage, rehearsing a farm scene.

Looking at the sincere and sincere faces of the troupe, Meng Huaxiang couldn't help wiping away several tears.

Standing beside her grandma, Zhang Wenqian hummed a little tune: "The victory of a better life is in sight, roll up your sleeves and work hard! I am happy in my heart to get rich through labor, and the realization of a well-off life is just around the corner! Grandma, grandma, after I am well-off, I want to eat goat every day!"

Everyone was amused by her childish voice, and they couldn't help but tease her with laughter: "Little goat, Hele crab, Pipi shrimp, all arranged for Qianqian!"

Everyone roared with laughter, and amidst the laughter, the party stepped into the wasteland.

Seeing such a big battle of the Dongfang Qiong Opera Troupe, the villagers of Erxian Village knocked on their melon seeds and sneered at the Qiong Opera Troupe in various ways.

"Without our supply, the Qiong Opera Troupe is at their wit's end this time around! They're all on their own to reclaim wasteland!"

"With their hands and shoulders unable to carry it, they still want to open up the wasteland. It's a dream!"

"If you want me to say, the Qiong Opera Troupe will go bankrupt sooner or later, relying on that dilapidated teahouse, how long can it last?!"

"Fortunately, we changed course early and followed Boss Li and Boss Lin. If we followed the Qiong Opera Troupe, we would probably have to open up wasteland again!"
