Zhang's mother has much more experience in selling things than Zhang Yanming. Selling things is more like chatting with people. Unless they take the initiative to ask, she will not forcefully introduce the clothes and praise them.

People's minds are very strange when buying something. The more urgent you are in introducing and explaining, the more hesitant they will be.

The woman finally bought a coat for her child and two sets of shirts for herself and her husband, and left happily. Zhang Yanming was sure that the woman would come here often in the future, as my mother has this ability.

"I've made money again, made a fortune." The little girl exclaimed happily.

"You can make a fortune just by selling two sets of shirts?" Zhang Ma took a sip of fragrance on her eldest granddaughter's face.

Li Wulan and Wang Jiahui changed their shoes and walked out. Li Wulan was a little embarrassed and handed the money to Zhang's mother with a blushing face: "Auntie, that cake money."

Zhang's mother took the money and said, "Sit down and eat the meatballs. Try them all. Your uncle just fried them." She didn't even mention what happened just now.

Zhang Yanming suddenly discovered that his mother was really good at speaking and would not embarrass anyone. She could always say the right thing at any time.

Speaking can really be said to be an art, and many times the difference between success and success often lies in just one sentence.

"It's so fragrant. It's super delicious." The little girl picked up a meatball and handed it to Li Wulan: "Auntie, hurry up, I won't be able to hold it anymore."

Li Wulan lowered her head and bit the meatball with her mouth.

"And old aunt." The little girl muttered to herself and picked up another one. Wang Jiahui's face turned red. She must not be married yet.

"Oh, yes, I'll go to Brother Mou's place." Zhang Yanming patted his head, said this and left the door.

Brother Mou is sitting behind the counter watching TV.

The middle partition wall was originally built later, but it has been demolished now, and there are a few more shelves inside, making the store look much wider.

"While we're at it, connect the heating to your room too. Burning the stove will take a lot of effort, not to mention the ash." Zhang Yanming went to lift the lid of the stove, took a look, and added a few pieces of coal.

"Well, it's so gray that I can't even wipe it off every day." Brother Mou threw over a cigarette.

"I met Wang Qisheng before I went to the station just now. I told them that I would treat them to a meal after the Chinese New Year, and I agreed." Zhang Yanming lit his cigarette, pulled a stool and sat down by the stove.

"Is the time set yet?"

"No, just call in advance then."

"Okay, let's stay at the Yanbin Building then. Is the business in your house okay?"

"It's okay. That's all. My mother just can't stay idle. Is my sister-in-law at work?"

"Well, I have a class today. Is that done?"

"It's done, just wait."

"How much can we get? Do you have an estimate?"

"It's rising now. I estimate that it will be a little difficult to do it, about 60 to 70 percent."

"That's pretty cool. What else do you want? How much effort and time do you have to spend to earn that kind of money? I'm satisfied." Mou Ge said with a smile.

"I'm from a different ethnic group, so I always feel a little lacking." Zhang Yanming also smiled.

"That's good. I don't blame you for this. I didn't take it seriously at first. When are you leaving? April?"

"April, harvest at the end of April."

Brother Mou nodded: "When will you start cleaning up that house in your city?"

"Let's see after the New Year. There are still a few families living there. We have to wait for the Textile Bureau to clear out the people and free up the place. It will be the New Year soon and it will be difficult to rush."

"Okay, after the New Year, I will arrange the people. Wherever there is a shortage of people, Ruer will have to go."

"You can take your time in selling your own store. You can sell goods in the front. It's a matter of making more or less."

"Hiring an agent? That's also a way. I originally planned to save the province and sell it ourselves, and hire an agent outside the province. That's fine too."

"You are really big-hearted, can you keep up with the production?" Zhang Yanming laughed.

"To get started, we have to go out. We will definitely build a factory in the province in the future. Our place is not only small, but also too remote." Brother Mou knocked on the counter.

Zhang Yanming nodded in agreement: "That's for sure, but there's no rush. Take your time and make the trip. Are you three going back to your hometown for the Chinese New Year?"

"I have to go back. I'm out all year round. If I don't go back during the New Year, my old man can come over with a stick and beat me."

"Give me the key before you leave. I'll use the small room. You can lock the big room yourself."

"What's going on?"

"Smith and Angelina are coming to my house for the New Year. Let them live in Wenwen's room. I really can't live here. My brother will have to sleep on the sofa when he comes back."

"Okay. Can I leave my luggage?"

"No, I have the luggage here. I guess they won't stay long, they will leave after the New Year, just a few days."

"I thought they had returned to China. Why don't foreigners celebrate the Chinese New Year?"

"Celebrate Christmas on December 25th. Everything foreigners have is related to religion, which is different from ours."

After talking for a while, people came in to buy things, and Zhang Yanming went out and went home.

Wang Jiahui and Li Wulan chatted with Zhang's mother. The little girl sat on the carpet in the room and played with Niu Niu. Zhang Yanming changed his shoes and went into the kitchen. This is Zhang's father's position, and he stays here most of the time.

During this period, we prepare snacks and dishes for the New Year. We have to prepare them until the Chinese New Year, and then we can be lazy and work less in the first month. This is Zhang's father's habit.

Most homes in the Northeast are like this. Anyway, it's freezing outside, so it won't break even if you leave it there no matter what you do.

"You made the pig's claws. I've been cleaning them for several days. Your mother thought my preparations didn't taste good. I'm really not very good at making these things."

"Okay, let's do it." Zhang Yanming went to get the apron and put it on: "What kind of food should you make? Braised or sauced?"

"Just make it how you want it to taste good. Make it a bit chewy. Your mother always thinks I make it hard to bite. She doesn't think it looks good when it's exposed. Oh, there's nothing I can do about it."

Zhang Yanming smiled and went to get the pig paws from the freezer. His mother had bullied his father for most of his life. The two of them enjoyed it and just listened to what they said.

Soak the white and fat pig feet in cold water to defrost. Here Zhang Yanming prepares the seasonings, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, peppercorns, dried red peppers, garlic, green onions, ginger, and rock sugar.

Dad Zhang was very interested in cooking, so he stood on the side and watched: "Do you need to add sugar?"

"Well, you have to add both granulated sugar and rock sugar. The granulated sugar enhances the freshness and the rock sugar enhances the color. You can add a little less sugar when making meat and dishes to enhance the taste."

Put a pot on the stove, add a pot of water, put the thawed pig feet into the pot with cold water, add cooking wine and cook, beat off the foam.

Cook for ten minutes, take it out and control the water. Heat a pan with some oil, stir-fry onions, ginger, garlic and dried red pepper until fragrant. Add soy sauce, add soup, add star anise, cinnamon and bay leaves, add half a spoonful of sugar, and an appropriate amount. Salt.

Put a small metal lid on the bottom of the pot, and then put the two halves of the pig paws that have controlled water into the pot. Pig paws are a high-collagen food, and they are very easy to stick to the bottom of the pot during the cooking process. Putting a small lid will prevent this. .
