Jiang Xiaoxiao understood in an instant what her mother was going to do, and shouted into the yard: "Aunt Qiulian, are you at home?"

Qiu Lianniang was embroidering handkerchiefs in the yard at this time. She looked up when she heard the sound and said in surprise: "Xiaoxiao? Why are you and your mother here?"

Qiu Lianniang quickly put down her things and got up to open the courtyard door.

Jiang Wei glanced at the yard and saw that Qiu Lianniang was the only one there. He simply explained the purpose of his visit: "My ice cream business in the town needs help. Are you free recently? Come to my house to help me in the afternoon. I can help you." You pay twenty cents a day."

"Oh, just help, why talk about money?" Qiu Lianniang waved her hand, "Recently, my man went to dig ditches in the mountains, and I have nothing to do at home except cooking. If you want to help, just say it, you're welcome. "

Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at Qiu Lianniang's half-embroidered handkerchief. The plum blossom pattern on it was very delicate and beautiful. If she sold it in the town, she could make a few bucks.

She then raised her little face and said with a smile: "Money is necessary. Aunt Qiulian, if you come to my house to help, it will take a lot of time. You won't have time to embroider the handkerchief."

Qiulian Niang's character is still trustworthy. Let her help, and the burden on the mother and daughter can be reduced a lot.

"You little girl," Qiulian Niang smiled and pinched her little face, "You can't make much money selling ice cream, but you only give me twenty cents a day, so aren't you losing money?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a person rushed out of the room, "Just take the money they give you. Why don't you lose money? You can embroider a handkerchief at home and sell it for more than 20 pennies in town!"

"Mom!" Qiulian Niang looked at Mrs. Zhao who rushed out and said helplessly: "It takes me ten days and a half to embroider a handkerchief. How can this be compared?"

"Are you stupid, mother-in-law? How can you push the benefits out!"

Mrs. Zhao frowned, pushed Qiulian Niang towards Jiang Wei, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xiaoniang, please take her to your home quickly. I agreed to this, and the salary is twenty yuan per day. You are not allowed to regret it." ! Qiulian, you don’t have to stay at home anymore, go to Xiaoxiao’s parents’ house to help, I’ll prepare the afternoon meal and send it to Tiezhu’s father in the mountains.”

After saying that, Mrs. Zhao quickly drove the few people out of the courtyard and closed the courtyard door behind her back, as if she was afraid that Jiang Wei would regret it.

Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel funny.

This Old Mrs. Zhao is really a money-minded person. When she and her mother came here before, Old Mrs. Zhao’s nose was not a nose and her eyes were not eyes. Now that she heard that she was going to be paid, her face changed faster than her eyes. The book is also great.

So, the mother and daughter returned home with Qiu Lianniang, who was embarrassed in every way.

Entering the yard, Qiu Lianniang saw a lot of chickens and rabbits in the yard, with a lot of surprise on her face.

The last time she came to Jiang's house to get wild boar meat, her family only had seven or eight chickens. Within a few days, there were already too many chickens to count, and there were so many rabbits... It seemed like , they still made a lot of money selling ice cream.

Thinking of this, Qiu Lianniang finally felt less guilty about taking the twenty wages.

The next second, a tiger cub that looked like a tabby cat rushed up, frightening her so much that she took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground, "Big, big insect!! How can there be a big insect here!?"

"Qiu Lianniang, don't be afraid, the tiger cub won't hurt anyone." Jiang Xiaoxiao quickly picked up the tiger cub and comforted him. Xiaohu was the name she gave to the tiger cub. When she heard her calling the name, the tiger cub excitedly stuck out his tongue and licked Jiang Xiaoxiao's finger.

Jiang Xiaoxiao understood that it wanted to drink the supernatural water, but Qiu Lianniang was in front of her right now, so she didn't dare to let the water go at will, so she could only hold down its head. Seeing that Qiu Lianniang was still afraid, she sent the tiger cub to the room and locked it up. .

Jiang Wei supported Qiulian Niang, who was so frightened that her feet were weak, and took her to the kitchen. He explained: "The big insect cub that I picked up from the mountain yesterday hurt its leg in a trap. I thought the little guy was pitiful, so I I was thinking of bringing it back to raise, and by the way, I could help look after the house..."

"Niang Xiaoxiao, don't raise this big insect cub randomly. It will eat people when it grows up." Qiu Lianniang patted her chest with lingering fear, "If you want to find a beast to look after the house, my eldest nephew's house is in front of me. I have given birth to a few pups in the past few days. I will go and get two for you to raise..."

The two of them talked all the way to the kitchen. The materials for making ice cream and ice cream were piled in the kitchen. Qiulian Niang looked at it and shook her head and sighed: "Eggs, glutinous rice flour, sugar... Oops, these things are so expensive." Okay, Xiaoxiao Niang, are you really not going to lose money by using these things to make ice cream and selling it?"

For a moment, she became uneasy about getting the twenty cents wages.

"Don't worry, don't you believe what I'm doing?" Jiang Wei said, briefly explaining the steps for making the ice cream ingredients.

Jiang Xiaoxiao comforted the tiger cub in the house and rushed to the kitchen to help.

She was responsible for lighting the fire. There were two stoves in the house and two pots were used together. Qiu Lianniang and Jiang Wei stood on each side.

Qiu Lianniang is responsible for making simple ice cream. Gradually pour the glutinous rice flour, sugar and milk into the pot and cook. Stir evenly until the sugar melts. This task is not difficult. Just keep stirring and it will be cooked in a while. pot.

Qiu Lianniang quickly filtered the viscous and hot ice cream solution on gauze, and then poured it into the basin on the side to cool down. During this time, she didn't ask any questions and went about her business peacefully.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was very satisfied, Qiu Lianniang's character was indeed trustworthy.

Jiang Wei was making ice cream in front of another pot. Making ice cream is more troublesome than ice cream. You have to separate egg whites and egg yolks. To make ice cream, only egg yolks are used, and the egg liquid needs to be taken out separately to make cream.

In addition to lighting the fire, Jiang Xiaoxiao is also responsible for separating egg whites and egg yolks. This job is not difficult, but it is very troublesome. If the separation is not clean, it will affect the taste of the cream. In addition, she has short hands, and the egg yolks separated by one person are far from enough for ginger. Amount of uncooked ice cream.

Qiu Lianniang also comes over to help from time to time.

Jiang Wei looked at it and thought: "It seems that we will have to ask a special person to come over tomorrow to help separate the egg yolks."

"Then who should we invite?" Jiang Xiaoxiao said, rubbing her sore arm. Except for Qiu Lianniang, they didn't know the people in the village very well. If they invited someone with bad character, they might secretly share the ice cream recipe. .

"I do have someone to recommend." Qiu Lianniang thought for a while and said, "Sister-in-law Zhao's daughter, Chun Miao, is serious about her work. If you ask her to work, you will never say anything nonsense."

"This girl can do it." Jiang Wei nodded. When she went to the mountain yesterday, she also saw Mrs. Zhao's two children working hard beside them. They didn't talk much and worked very hard. It was absolutely guaranteed to invite her. (End of chapter)
