The Village Doctress Chapter 243: Crispy Peas

"Yes, Gospel, although lard is not expensive, save some if you can." Lin Fang said, and then leaned into the pot to take a look, and immediately felt distressed, "Gospel, what are you doing? What do you want to fry, there is too much lard!"

After listening to Lin Fang's words, Lin Fen went up to take a look, and saw that the bottom of the pot was full of oily lard, and felt distressed.

They are all children from poor families. Even if they have money, they want to save it.

Lin Fufu laughed, looked at the two sisters and said, "I want to fry the peas in oil. The more oil you fry, the crispier and delicious it will be."

"Hey, fried peas? They're so fresh, I've never eaten them before." Lin Fang clicked his mouth and said.

Lin Fen stretched out his finger and poked Lin Fang's forehead, "You, how much knowledge do you have? Let's learn from the gospel."

She turned around and went out, but Lin Fufu heard her muttering to herself, "Only a knowledgeable mother like the third aunt can teach a girl like Gospel, we just follow Gospel and learn a little about it so we can eat it." A lifetime..."

Lin Fufu's eyes flashed, and Lin Fen also said that her mother Chu was knowledgeable, how did she know?

"Fufu, Fufu quickly pour the beans into the pot, the oil is already hot." Lin Fen disturbed Lin Fufu's thoughts, and Lin Fufu immediately returned to his senses with a smile and poured the dried peas from a kang into the pot to fry.

After a while, the dried peas came out of the pot. Lin Fang couldn't wait to pick up one and threw it into his mouth. Regardless of the burning of his mouth, he took a breath and said, "It's delicious and fragrant!"

The corners of Lin Fufu's lips curled up slightly, and he said with a smile, "Sister Fang, go dig a bowl of the salt I bought and grind it into powder for me, and then dig out a bowl of white sugar and grind it into powder for me too. Just bring it up when you're done."

Although Lin Fang didn't know why she had to crush the salt and sugar, since Lin Fufu ordered her, she happily did it.

Looking at her happy back, Lin Fufu couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips even more.

She continued to fry the peas, and soon a big cloth bag was fried.

At this time, Lin Fang also brought over the crushed salt and sugar.

Lin Fufu divides the fried peas into two parts, and puts them in two smaller muslin bags, then puts a bowl of crushed salt into a muslin bag, and tie the end of the bag with a string Tighten it, then shake the muslin bag with the head to make the ground salt powder stick to the fried peas more evenly.

After it was done, put a bowl of crushed white sugar into another West cloth bag, and then shake the muslin bag with the head like a gourd painting.

Lin Fang looked at Lin Fufu in surprise, "Fufu, what are you doing like this?"

"Do you want something salty or something sweet?" Lin Fufu asked without answering.

Lin Fang pointed to the muslin bag where Lin Fufu put the sugar, and said shyly, "Then I still like sweets."

Lin Fufu smiled slightly, unsealed the muslin bag containing the sugar, and gave it to Lin Fang, "Come and have a taste."

Lin Fang looked at the golden and crisp fried peas with a layer of fine white hoarfrost, and thought they were delicious.

She swallowed her saliva, and carefully stretched out her hand to pick up a pea and put it in her mouth. As soon as the pea entered her mouth, she squinted her eyes, "It's delicious, fragrant, crispy and sweet!"

Lin Fufu also picked up one and put it in his mouth.

It really is fragrant, crispy and sweet.

The pigs in ancient times all ate the freshest pig grass and the natural rancid water at home, so the lard was very fragrant. The peas are also tastier, and the sugar is sweeter and softer...

"Let's try the salty one again." After tasting the sweet one, Lin Fufu and Lin Fang tasted the salty fried peas again.

"Delicious too!" Lin Fang said with wrinkled eyes after tasting the salty fried peas.

Lin Fufu nodded, and then blinked at Lin Fang, "Since it's so delicious, let's make some of them as soon as possible, and when they're ready, we'll take them to Washe to sell!"

"Huh? Do you want to sell it?" Lin Fang said with some reluctance.

Lin Fufu smiled and promised: "Don't worry, we will leave food for ourselves. You can eat as much as you want."

Lin Fang smiled even more happily.

The two sisters were busy driving, and they didn't stop until they used up all the pig's heads in a jar.

At this time, Lin Fen had already bought dozens of catties of lard and came back.

Lin Fufu said: "Sister Fen is back just in time, come with us to Washe to sell fried peas."

"Are you all done?" Lin Fen put the pork suet on the pot and asked happily while wiping his hands with a clean rag.

"Taste first." Lin Fufu brought up the bowl containing salty and sweet fried peas and handed it to Lin Fen.

Lin Fen smiled slightly and picked up the fried peas and put them in his mouth, "Well, it's delicious!"

"Okay, we all think it's delicious, so it must be delicious. Let's prepare and go do business." Lin Fufu clapped his hands and said to Sister Lin Fen.

The two sisters are also very excited.

Everyone is excited to earn money.

"By the way, Gospel, how do you sell these fried peas?" Lin Fen asked.

Lin Fen was still careful, and Lin Fufu was so happy that he forgot to set the price for the fried peas.

"This is just a small snack, and it can't be too expensive. If it's too expensive, fewer people will buy it." How about fried peas for two cents?"

Lin Fen and Lin Fang glanced at each other, then shook their heads, Lin Fen said: "Two cents a catty is too little, I dare say we are the first batch to make such delicious snacks Man, the price can't be less than five cents a catty."

Lin Fang also nodded and agreed: "Yes, Gospel, I heard that the small snacks at Washe are not cheap. Brother Dalang took him to the shadow puppet show when he was a child. He bought a plate of melon seeds for two pennies. Why don’t the melon seeds just be fried? A plate of melon seeds costs two pennies.”

Lin Fufu hasn't noticed this one yet, last time it was Li Yi's treat, and she didn't know the price of the tea and snacks.

Later, Huangfu Jin was injured again, so she didn't bother to inquire about those things. Today, she made fried peas on a whim to sell, but she didn't expect to be stumped in setting the price.

But according to Lin Fang, it's not expensive to sell her catty of fried peas for ten cents per catty.

"Let's go and talk about it first. Find the manager of Washe and see how much he is willing to pay per catty. If it is suitable, we will sell it." .

So the three of them put the divided muslin bags on the wheelbarrow, and together they pushed a cart of fried peas to Washe.

Lin Fen and Lin Fang had never been to Washer before, and both of them were a little excited. When they arrived at Washer, there was a lot of people and it was very lively, and the two sisters were dazzled.

Lin Fufu can only look at the wheelbarrow by himself at this time, and let the two sisters look at it first.

The two sisters looked at Lin Fufu for a while before realizing that they were here for business, not to see the excitement.

"It's okay, why don't we go to the theater and listen to the music after we sell out all these?" Lin Fufu laughed.

Lin Fang immediately said: "Okay, I want to go to the shadow puppet show. When I was young, when my father brought Brother Dalang here to watch the shadow puppet show, I don't know how envious I was. After so many years, I forgot No..."

"Is this okay? There is still lard left uncooked at home." Although Lin Fen was also eager to watch a shadow puppet show, she was still worried that the homework was not done.

Lin Fufu said: "It's so cold, the lard will be fine tomorrow, I finally came to Washe, today I will accompany you to watch a shadow play or listen to music, I will satisfy you Just go home."

After a pause, Lin Fufu asked Lin Fen, "Sister Fen, do you also want to see shadow puppetry the most?"

Lin Fen nodded, "Yes, I also want to watch shadow puppetry. When I was young, my master brought Lin Dalang to the Washe to watch shadow puppetry, and I was envious of it."

Lin Fufu didn't like it when he heard it. How deeply did Mr. Lin's eccentricity hurt the hearts of the two granddaughters?

Until now, she still remembers how she felt when she was a child. She thinks that Mr. Lin is really cruel, maybe not only Mr. Lin, but all patriarchal people in the world are very cruel.

They stubbornly prefer boys, and think that girls are money-losing goods and worthless. But in fact, even in ancient times, girls were sensible to work for the family and share the worries of the elders when they were young.

However, when boys are mischievous and get into trouble, they still prefer boys, and they beat and scold girls. There are countless such things, so the damage to girls' hearts is very great.

Lin Fufu looked at Lin Fen and Lin Fang with softer eyes, intending to slowly heal the hurt in their hearts in the future.

At this time, a waiter who entertained the guests came over with a few empty plates.

Seeing Lin Fufu and the others push the wheelbarrow into the road, he said to them displeasedly: "Hey, you girls, push the wheelbarrow out, it's blocking the road."

"We're here to sell snacks!" Lin Fang pushed back.

The little girl looked them up and down, seeing that they didn't look like they were joking, she believed it in her heart.

Recalling the countless times that the chief steward of their washhouse complained that the male guests had too few snacks, he thought that if he could discover new snacks, the chief steward would reward him.

As a result, his complexion became much better, and he asked with a smile, "Then what kind of snacks do you sell?"

Lin Fufu winked at Lin Fen, and Lin Fufu took out two bulging fine cloth bags the size of palms, opened the fine cloth bags in front of Xiao Er, and said to Xiao Er: "This time we I only sell this one, you should try it first, little brother, you have to try it first, right?"

Lin Fen had a pleasant smile on his face, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

When the little girl saw a young and good-looking girl talking to him in such a pleasant manner, his face turned red, and he felt a little embarrassed that he had been rude to them just now.

"Yes, I'll try it first. If it's really delicious, I'll definitely recommend it to you as our senior manager!" The little girl said quickly, and then stretched out her hand to pick up a few fragrant and sweet ones. Fried peas popped into the mouth.

When he chewed a mouthful, he only felt that it was crispy, sweet and crunchy, and his mouth was full of fragrance.

After tasting it, he felt that it was not enough, so he reached out again and took the salty fried peas and put it in his mouth.

Still delicious!

The little girl immediately became excited, looked at Lin Fufu and the three excitedly, and said, "Follow me, three girls, and I will take you to meet our chief manager!"

Hearing this, Lin Fufu and the three looked at each other, and immediately pushed the wheelbarrow and ran along with the little girl.

The little girl yelled all the way: "Leave a way, don't bump into each other, we have something urgent..."

The guests all looked at them strangely, and Lin Fufu couldn't help feeling amused.

From the attitude of this little girl, she can also tell that her fried peas should be able to sell for a good price.

After following the little girl to a quiet spot, he politely said to Lin Fufu and the others: "Girls, wait a moment, I'll go and invite our chief manager."

This Xiao Er is too excited, obviously knows nothing about business.

When he finally hired the chief steward, Lin Fufu saw that the chief steward was in his forties, with dark skin, a strong figure, and a calm expression on his face, so he knew that this was a powerful character.

He should have heard Xiao Er introduce her fried peas, and knew that her fried peas were delicious, but he still looked as usual, walked calmly, and looked calm and calm.

"Girls, this is the chief steward of our Washe." The junior introduced Lin Fufu and the others, and then said to the chief steward, "Boss, it is these three girls who want to betray you." Give us a small snack."

The chief steward nodded, waved his hand to let the second servant go to work, then looked at Lin Fufu and the three of them with a smile, and said, "My surname is Xu, and I'm the chief steward of this town's wash house. I don't know the surnames of the girls?"

"Master Xu is a good manager. We are three sisters, surnamed Lin." Lin Fufu said with a smile.

The head manager Xu nodded, glanced at the white and clean muslin bags on the wheelbarrow, then looked at Lin Fufu and asked, "Girls Lin, which village are you from?"

When Lin Fufu saw that Manager Xu was not in a hurry to ask trivial matters, he knew that Manager Xu might want to find out their details. , give a lower price.

Rolling his eyes slightly, Lin Fufu smiled and said, "We are from the town."

"Oh, so it's from the town?" Manager Xu's eyes flickered, and he thought that if he was from the town, he probably knew about the situation of the Washe, and the price was above

"What's the name of this snack made by those girls?" Manager Xu asked with a smile.

Just as Lin Fufu wanted to talk about fried peas, Lin Fen hurriedly said, "This little snack we sell is called Crispy Peas."

When Lin Fufu heard the name, it was really good, but even if the name sounds good, people can't see how it was made.

Otherwise, a fried pea will know that it is fried.

Lin Fufu once again saw Lin Fen's meticulous thinking, and couldn't help but feel very relieved.

"Yes, it's crispy peas. Mr. Xu can try it first." Lin Fufu smiled.

Lin Fen handed the fried peas with salty and sweet flavors to the manager Xu.

The person in charge, Xu, really tried it seriously.

"Well, it's really good!" Even though he was very picky, Manager Xu had no choice but to give this a high evaluation. He squinted slightly, looked at Lin Fufu and the others, and asked with a smile: "How many girls are you?" Made it?"

"Yeah, I made it at home. I heard my uncle said that there are not many snacks in Washer, so I thought of selling it at Washer to get some money for rouge and gouache." Lin Fufu said.

The supervisor Xu glanced over at Lin Fufu and the others, and saw that the faces of the two older girls had powder on their faces, and the powder looked good.

There is a sudden rush in my heart, rouge and gouache can be more or less expensive, these girls are obviously here to sell high prices.

So he nodded without changing his expression, looked at Lin Fufu and asked, "How much do those girls plan to sell for a catty?"

"So how much does Manager Xu think we can sell such delicious snacks for a catty?" Lin Fufu asked back.

Officer Xu looked at her again, and thought: She really is not a girl who can fool around.

After thinking about it, he said: "Most of our guests in Vasheli are not rich, and we don't have much spare money to buy expensive snacks. Most of them bring their children and buy them for them. It's just a bit of a tooth-beating ceremony. Therefore, the snacks in our Washe are not expensive."

The implication of these words was to tell Lin Fufu and the others that even if he wanted to buy their crispy peas, he would not pay a high price.

"Girls, let's make a price. If the price is right, I will buy them all. If the price is not right, the girls will find someone else." Manager Xu said with a smile.

Lin Fufu also smiled slightly, and said: "This is very true, buying and selling is voluntary."

Manager Xu smiled and nodded, waiting for Lin Fufu to make an offer.

Lin Fufu was about to ask him for twenty cents to bargain for him, so Lin Fen asked with a smile: "Master Xu, the small snacks in this Washe are only two or three taels per plate, right?"

When Chief Manager Xu saw her suddenly asking this question, his expression turned serious.

This question is too tricky.

Lin Fang also laughed and said, "The cheapest melon seeds cost two cents a plate."

Lin Fufu listened to the pair of sisters singing the oboe, so he stood and watched the play with his lips pursed.

In my heart, I am happy that I have a good vision. Lin Fen and Lin Fang are both born businessmen.

Because the two sisters played a double reed, the smile on Xu Daguan's face couldn't hold back, and he forced himself to ask: "How do those girls plan to sell these crispy peas?"

Lin Fen and Lin Fang looked at each other with a smile, and then Lin Fen smiled at Manager Xu and said, "Manager Xu, it took a lot of time and effort to make this crispy pea. Spices and so on, this cost is considered expensive."

After listening to Lin Fen's so much foreshadowing, Manager Xu was a little anxious, so he interrupted her, "Then how much does Miss Lin want to sell for a catty?"

"Thirty Wen a catty." Lin Fen pointed out three fingers.

When Lin Fufu heard her bid for thirty cents, the corners of Lin Fen's lips curled up. Lin Fen remained silent, and became much more ruthless than her.

This is a born businessman!

"No, no, thirty yuan a catty is too expensive!" Manager Xu shook his head, looked at Lin Fen and said, "Miss Lin also knows that peas are very cheap, and you can buy four or five yuan for one penny. Jin, you just opened your mouth for thirty cents a catty, isn't that what a lion opened its mouth?"
