Chapter 15

"Grandma Zhao, let me use the kitchen to steam the steamed buns." Pomegranate said this with a bit of embarrassment. She went out to sign in today but didn't get a big iron pot. She will go to sign in again tomorrow. If she doesn't have one yet, she will buy one first. Clay pots are used.

"It's okay, just use it. Everything in the kitchen can be used." Grandma Zhao smiled kindly. The little girl even knew how to bring sweets to Xiaojun when she came back from a trip. She was a generous child, and she also believed that this girl was I really forgot to buy a pot.

Pomegranate smiled and nodded, thinking about giving Xiaojun something delicious next time.

With her hands skillfully adjusting the filling, making the dough, and kneading pleats, fist-sized buns were quickly formed in her hands. With the existence of jade buns, she also made more buns, only ten, and the remaining ingredients were thrown in directly. After eating the jade buns, he spat out 100 buns at once, and a large section of the jade-colored silk thread on the jade buns fell off.

"Hey!" Shiliu suddenly realized that the jade buns were really not something that ordinary people could afford, and the jade was consumed too quickly. Maybe this has something to do with the quality of the jade? How about trying a piece of jade with a good water head next time? Thinking of the beautiful jade in her collection, Shiliu felt that no matter which piece she wanted to part with, she decided to take the time to go to Yun Province. There were many jade mines there that were worthless.

But nowadays, traveling far away is not just something you want to do. Not only is it inconvenient to walk due to transportation, but the most important thing is that you need a letter of introduction. Without a letter of introduction, you can’t even find a place to live, and you can’t take trains, cars, etc. It can be said that a letter of introduction is more important than a modern ID card. Pomegranate is a rural child who is going to school. It can be said that there is no reason to get a letter of introduction.

Shiliu pulled Lao Shi's family around, and suddenly made a surprising discovery - her uncle's third cousin was currently serving as a soldier in Yun Province, and she might be able to go to Yun Province under the pretext of visiting her cousin. , but the premise is that something happens to the third cousin. Although Pomegranate was not familiar with this cousin, she didn't want him to get hurt, so she could only hold back these thoughts for the time being.

After picking up four buns and wrapping them in oil paper, Pomegranate picked up the rest of the buns into a basket and put them in the room: "Grandma Zhao, these are the buns I just steamed. They are made from shepherd's purse. You guys have a try."

Grandma Zhao didn't want to take advantage at first, but when she heard that it was just a shepherd's purse bun and not a meat bun, she took it with confidence: "Pomegranate, you are too polite. Xiaojun, give your sister Pomegranate some dried sweet potatoes to eat. Pomegranate, you must Try the dried sweet potatoes I dried, I dare say we don’t have such delicious dried sweet potatoes in Lin City, this is our family’s ancestral secret recipe.”

Some dried sweet potatoes were not valuable, so Pomegranate took them without any hesitation. He picked up an orange dried sweet potato and took a bite. His eyes suddenly lit up. It tasted really good. No wonder Grandma Zhao said she couldn't find anything better in Lin City. She really wasn't bragging. It was sweet, chewy, and not sticky to the teeth, making people want to eat it again.

If the wallet hadn't been so deflated, I would have really wanted to hoard hundreds of kilograms of pomegranates and eat them slowly.

"Grandma Zhao, would you like to change these sweet potatoes?"

Grandma Zhao was stunned. She could still sell dried sweet potatoes for money? Although she holds a pension in her hand, there are many things that you may not be able to buy even if you have money. Of course, her sons must have ways, but the old lady is not willing to cause trouble to her son. After all, her son can climb to his current position. It was a scar all over her body, and she was unwilling to delay her sons' future because of her own affairs.

So, faced with the temptation of pomegranates, she was shamefully tempted: "I can change it, but I don't have many sweet potatoes in my hand." People in the city who eat commercial grains have a certain amount of food.

"That's no problem. I'll go back to the village later and get a sack. You can help dry it. How about I pay for the labor?"

"That's no problem." Grandma Zhao immediately laughed, "I heard that there will be game in the countryside, you can just give me some game when the time comes."

Pomegranate has no objection to this. It is easier for city people to eat meat than for people in the village. Moreover, it is difficult for those who are slow and slow to buy good meat. They can only pick up the meat that others do not want. Eating meat is quite easy for her. She stops at the door of the meat factory and uses smaller hands. It weighs at least thirty or forty pounds each time. She can't finish it by herself, so she might as well take it out to accumulate funds.

As lunch time was approaching, Pomegranate came to the black market that she had visited long ago, carrying a large backpack on her back. Two sluts were playing cards outside Dahuaishu Alley. When they saw Pomegranate in disguise, they raised their eyebrows slightly and asked casually: "What are you doing?"

Pomegranate didn't hide anything, and said truthfully: "I want to sell some shepherd's purse steamed buns."

"Shepherd's purse steamed stuffed buns? Freshly baked?" asked a dark and thin young man.

"Yes, it's just out of the pan and still hot. I use the best Fuqiang flour. No tickets are required, and a shepherd's purse bun costs 30 cents."

The skinny monkey rubbed his nose. The smell was so delicious: "Bring me three. Fatty, would you like to have a few too? You will know the taste is unmistakable when you smell it." After saying that, he handed over the money.

As soon as the fat man looked at his figure, he knew he was a foodie: "I want five."

Eating five fist-sized buns in one sitting is really not something you can eat normally, but for pomegranates, this is a good thing. Because after taking a bite, the two people rounded up the fifty buns she brought, and Pomegranate even saved the black market entry fee of 10 cents.

The fat man finished one bun in two mouthfuls and took another sip of brown sugar water: "Sister, are you coming back tomorrow? If you come, can you make some meat buns?" As for meat, they have plenty of it on the black market.

Pomegranate didn't expect such a good thing, so she narrowed her eyes and said, "How many meat buns do you want?" She didn't want to sell them to anyone, so she naturally didn't mind selling them directly to people on the black market.

There are three bosses in the black market in Lin City. The boss of this black market is called Mr. Zhao. He is a loyal man. There has never been any gangsterism under his jurisdiction. This is why Shiliu chose Dahuaishu Alley as his first trial. The reason for the land of water.

Fatty directly ordered 100 meat buns, which they would definitely not be able to finish. Pomegranate guessed that these two people wanted to get the goods from her and then sell them on the black market. Of course, the price is cheaper than selling pomegranates on the black market, but this saves time and effort and the risk is low.

After thinking about it, Pomegranate agreed very simply. In addition, he bought 30 kilograms of pork directly from them, saying that he would make pork buns with green onions tomorrow morning.

Fatty: "Okay, you wait here while I get you some meat."

Soon, the fat man came out with a piece of pork belly. Because it was for his own business, he specially picked a piece with beautiful color.

Pomegranate took out the money, put the pork into the basket, and left quickly.
