Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

Chapter 134 Sugar Water Fish

After washing up, Jiang Fubao sat in the yard to eat breakfast.

Sudden.

A scream broke the tranquility of the Jiang family.

"Big watermelon——"

"Oh my, this watermelon is so big."

Zhang Jinlan and Sun Pingmei, who entered the room to get the goods, exclaimed at the same time.

"what happened?"

Hearing the noise, others also ran to Jiang Fubao's room.

Only Jiang Fubao was there, sitting in a chair and continuing to eat her breakfast, indifferent.

"There's actually a watermelon! This is too big."

Compared to the watermelon that Ma Chunxia gave me yesterday evening.

The watermelon in front of me has grown bigger.

There were not only watermelons, but also some purple, yellow, pink and white things in the basin.

The Jiang family had never seen it before.

Zhang Jinlan knew.

I guess only my granddaughter knows about this thing.

She picked up the basin, walked out, came to Jiang Fubao, and asked gently: "Fubao, tell grandma, what is this? And that watermelon, is it sent by the immortals?"

"Yes, I asked the old man with white beard for it. He said he would send a watermelon to our family every day. And this is taro balls. The old man with white beard said to boil the taro balls and soak them in cold sugar water. Then cut the watermelon into pieces as big as fingernails and put them in the mung bean soup. It's delicious."

Jiang Fubao explained.

By the way, tell your family the steps to make sugar water.

So that grandma wouldn’t know what taro balls are used for.

After hearing this, Zhang Jinlan nodded blankly.

"Okay, grandma, take it to the shop and let us make it. The portion is unusually large. If it tastes good, we can sell it."

"I will listen to grandma."

Jiang Fubao ate the last spoonful of porridge.

He raised his head and gave his grandma a big smile.

She obediently took the empty bowl and put it in the basin in the kitchen.

After the whole family has finished eating, the aunts will take it away to wash.

"Okay, pack up and get ready to go."

Wait until everyone has finished their meal and is ready.

At Zhang Jinlan's order.

The ox cart left Jiangjia Village.

Arrived at the backyard of the shop.

Everyone is busy with their own things, with clear division of labor, and no one is idle.

Of course, Jiang Fubao is an exception.

The sausages and potatoes are sold out.

The workload for everyone was reduced a lot.

Jiang Fubao's sister-in-law also came to help today.

Qian Xile sat by the stove, cooking taro balls in a casserole.

As she stirred them, the taro balls gradually became soft. She washed them twice with well water and then poured out the water.

Then pour the cooled sugar water into the casserole.

Soaking.

The watermelons were also cooled in the well.

After Zhang Jinlan cut it in half.

His eyes were wide open.

"Look, this watermelon has no seeds."

The red flesh of the melon is paired with a rind that is only a few millimeters thick.

It looks particularly attractive.

The fresh fragrance of watermelon gradually spreads.

Everyone sniffed.

"Mom, what does this watermelon taste like?"

Sun Pingmei looked at the watermelon without blinking.

Shining straight.

"I'll cut some for you to try."

Zhang Jinlan picked up the half of the watermelon on the left, cut it in half again, then took a quarter of the watermelon and cut it into slices.

In the end, everyone held a piece of watermelon that was neither too thin nor too thick in their hands.

Sun Pingmei took the first bite.

As soon as she took a bite, she was stunned.

"Mom, it's so sweet. There is such a sweet watermelon in the world. It's so delicious. This is worthy of being called a watermelon. What I ate last night was just like dog shit."

Sun Pingmei was about to cry.

She had never eaten such a sweet watermelon.

It's like drinking sugar water.

No, it tastes better than sugar water.

After all, sugar water doesn’t have the aroma of melon pulp.

There was so much juice that it flowed down the corners of his mouth.

She marveled at the deliciousness of the watermelon.

But the last sentence made the yard quiet instantly.

"Pah, pah, pah, what the hell is this? We're just eating, why are you talking about this?"

"Ugh! Second sister-in-law, you're making it so hard for me to eat."

The two sisters-in-law looked at Sun Pingmei with resentment.

"Hey, I'm just making an analogy, don't take it seriously."

Sun Pingmei also knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she smiled foolishly and changed the subject.

"You know what? No wonder it's a fairy product. It's really delicious. I can't bear to sell it."

Zhang Jinlan finished the watermelon in her hand and was still not satisfied.

I can't wait to eat all the rest.

"Mom, how about we eat the cut watermelon ourselves and sell the remaining half?"

The advice given by Sun Pingmei was selfish.

She didn't eat enough either.

"Okay, give each of you two pieces, and keep the rest for Yamato and Eryong. Hang the uncut piece in the well to keep it stable to prevent it from going bad. Bring it home to your father and his family to eat in the evening. As for the other half, cut it into cubes as Fubao said and put it in the mung bean soup."

Zhang Jinlan didn't hesitate at all.

I agreed.

Everyone cheered quietly.

They temporarily put down their work.

Squatting on the ground and eating voraciously.

After eating.

Everyone's hands were stained with watermelon juice and became sticky.

"Okay, now that you're done eating, get back to work. Pingmei, bring me a bowl so I can make the sweet soup that Fubao mentioned."

Zhang Jinlan scooped a bucket of water from the well.

Washed the hands.

He gave instructions to the second daughter-in-law.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

The yard is just this small.

In a blink of an eye, Sun Pingmei brought the bowl over.

At this time, the mung bean soup has been cooked and ice cubes are added to cool it down.

Zhang Jinlan took the bowl and first filled it with half a bowl of mung bean soup.

Then scoop two spoonfuls of diced watermelon and put it in.

Finally, I counted eight taro balls and put them in.

After stirring evenly.

Zhang Jinlan didn't eat first.

Instead, he scooped up a spoonful and put it into his second daughter-in-law's mouth.

The second daughter-in-law is not picky and eats everything.

But as long as she says it's delicious.

It must taste good.

"Oh my goodness, it's really delicious, it's icy cold, with the sweetness of watermelon, the softness of taro balls, and the sandiness and tanginess of mung beans. Mom, if I sell this, customers will definitely buy it like crazy, it's really good for cooling off.

But the stuff inside is really precious, how about we raise the price? We won’t sell mung bean soup anymore, we’ll just sell this sweet soup, and sell it at a higher price.”

Sun Pingmei couldn't bear to swallow it.

She looked at the bowl in her mother-in-law's hand with heartache.

If this bowl only costs three cents.

What a cheap guest.

The watermelon and taro balls inside are what immortals eat.

If she were to say, selling it for ten cents was worthy of it.

"It's really delicious, so we can sell it. The price will definitely go up, so let's just sell it for 20 cents a bowl."

After Zhang Jinlan finished speaking, Sun Pingmei took a breath.

Her mother-in-law is even crueler than her.

"I calculated that I can only sell about 60 bowls at most. If I sell it too cheaply, I won't make any money, so the price must be high. Of course, the mung bean soup will still be sold as usual, at three cents a bowl. There is no conflict between the two.

After all, although most of the customers who come to our shop are from wealthy families, there are also some who are not so wealthy. If they can't afford other things to eat, they can just buy a bowl of cheap green bean soup. Once they get used to it, they may buy meat patties and other things when they have more money in their pockets in the future. "
