Chapter Thirty-Eight: My Mouth Is Spicy
Zhang Fangfen can cook tea eggs, and she cooks them very well.
When Huang Han first started traveling on business, he would bring some food from home in order to save money. The business trip allowance at that time was pitiful. It was only two yuan and fifty cents a day in the province, so he could never afford to eat fried food in a hotel.
At that time, Han often ate the love tea egg yolks cooked by her mother.
After hearing Huang Han's plan, Zhang Fangfen thought about it for a while and thought it was worth a try. She couldn't help but feel happy.
I am too poor. I have been working from dawn to dusk for a year and still can't even eat white rice. Seeing that my children are growing up and eating a lot more, what should I do in the future?
Zhang Fangfen doesn’t want to change all this, but what can she do?
Huang Han's plan to sell tea eggs is feasible, and the risk is within an acceptable range, so of course he must do it.
When the mother and son returned home, they started cooking tea eggs. Huang Daozhou asked about the situation and declined to comment.
Huang Han knew that the policy had just been relaxed a few days ago and he would no longer engage in speculation, but most people looked down on people who did small businesses.
After all, Huang Daozhou is also a formal employee of a state-owned unit, and his natural superiority still exists in his heart. This has nothing to do with his family's financial conditions.
We can only induce him earnestly and there is no good way. Only by letting him see real profits can he change his mind.
Of course Huang Han would not force Huang Daozhou to accompany him to sell tea eggs. He said: "Dad, at seven o'clock in the evening, you will send me to the entrance of the cinema. Just stay away and watch. I will take the little girl to sell tea eggs."
Egg."
I have already bought the eggs. How many days will it take to keep them at home? Eating eggs every day is too wasteful!
Huang Daozhou was a little speechless. He had been kidnapped. Fortunately, his son did not let him embarrass himself. What else could he say? He could only nodded in agreement with a look of helplessness on his face.
On the contrary, Huang Qi was inexplicably excited when she heard Huang Han said that he wanted to take her with him to sell eggs. She said: "Brother, I know how to sell things. I can only get our tea eggs if I have to pay for them."
"Okay, let me test you. Tea eggs cost five cents each. How much does two of them cost?"
"one cent."
"Where are the five?"
"Twenty-five cents."
"They gave you three cents, what should you do?"
"Look for five cents from someone else."
"Haha, I'll definitely be able to help if I take you with me."
"Yeah! Yeah! I will listen to my brother and won't run around."
The tea eggs need to be cooked slowly and the egg shells should be cracked with the back of a spoon. I guess they will be delicious by the evening.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Huang Han borrowed Liu Xiaoming's big iron pot and the big shovel used by the restaurant chef.
The honeycomb briquette stove uses slow fire to cook tea eggs, and the crayfish needs high fire, but the firepower of the honeycomb briquette stove is not enough.
Huang Han's family has a wild stove made of yellow mud, which can burn straw and wood. The firepower is much greater than that of the briquette stove, but it is a bit dirty when burning, making the surroundings smoky.
In order to save briquettes, Huang Xin and Huang Han often went to the river to pick up combustible materials such as rotten wood that floated to the shore.
After drying these things, they are used to raise the briquette stove and burn the wild stove.
In order to increase the firepower today, not only wood was burned under the wild stove, but also a lot of broken briquettes were placed.
Huang Han was not strong enough to flip the pot, so he had to ask Zhang Fangfen to help him. In less than half an hour, the unique fragrance of thirteen-flavored crayfish was wafting in the alley.
Seeing the excitement, Liu Xiaoming actually started to swallow his saliva, and Liu's mother couldn't help but take a look after get off work.
After the pot was cooked, Huang Han gave a large bowl of crayfish, about two kilograms, to Liu Xiaoming, a large bowl to Grandpa, and a large bowl to Xiao Qiang's family.
Huang Xin was also asked to deliver a large bowl to the Li family in Hedong. The Li family has a son and a daughter. The daughter Li Mei is one of Huang Xin's best friends. Li's father is the office director of a food company.
It was absolutely impossible for Huang Xin to get along with her classmates and send a large bowl of food to her classmates' homes. She was too embarrassed and refused to go.
Huang Han couldn't explain the importance of getting along with others, so he had to carry the bowl to deliver it. Fortunately, Huang Xin had no choice but to follow Huang Hanzhen when he saw it.
It was very abrupt, and the four members of the Li family were really surprised at first, but after a while, Li Mei happily accepted it.
Huang Daozhou really doesn't know how to deal with these relationships, maybe because he is too poor and has nothing to offer.
After all, Sanshui County is very small at this time. Huang Han's family lives in the center of the county. There are too many resources for neighbors. They work in sugar, tobacco and alcohol companies, food companies, hardware companies, grain bureaus, transportation bureaus and other good units.
Yes, and most of them are cadres.
Unfortunately, there are not many crayfish, and there are many people who want to give them away. The remaining neighbors can only see if there is a chance next time.
On the way back, seeing Huang Xin's relieved look, Huang Han enlightened: "Sister, it's just a bowl of crayfish. Is it so difficult? Why do you feel so embarrassed? You also saw Li Mei's happy look, why are you so happy?
Not for?"
"I, I, I can't explain clearly, I just feel like I'm not used to doing this."
"It doesn't matter. We should reciprocate politely. Gradually you will get used to it."
"Why are you doing this?"
“We live in a human society, and whether we have a ‘guanxi’ or not is directly related to the quality of our jobs and affects the efficiency of our work, so we need to strive for more help.”
"I don't understand. Do you have something to do with Li Mei's father? Don't mess around. Dad will definitely beat you if he finds out."
Huang Han understands how popular food companies are nowadays. Although there is nothing going on at the moment, there is no guarantee that he will think of something in the future, so he is just preparing for a rainy day.
Seeing Huang Xin's attitude, Huang Han quickly comforted him:
"I'm just a child. What's wrong with me? Isn't it because you and Li Mei are good friends? It's also because there are a lot of crayfish at home, so I just want to be a favor."
"Yeah! That's pretty much it. Remember, our family relies on itself and doesn't ask for help."
Uh! This temper is definitely inherited from Huang Daozhou. No wonder she, a college student, worked in a central enterprise until she was about to retire and never got an official position.
Huang Han is actually very good at getting around. He doesn't even have a diploma, but he had already become a middle-level cadre in his original unit before resigning to work alone, and he was still the youngest cadre in the company.
It seems that Huang Xin also needs to induce her to change the way she behaves, otherwise she will suffer a loss.
…
The roasted crayfish must have a strong taste, and spicy food is a must. At this time, people in Sanshui County generally eat light food, so no one can tolerate it, especially children.
In the Xiao family, a family of five sat together to have dinner. Xiao Qiang shouted while eating: "Mom is spicy, I want to drink water."
"If you find it spicy, don't eat it!"
"I want to eat it, it's so delicious, ah! I can't stand it anymore."
Xiao Qiang's father, wearing only a sweat vest on his upper body, was drinking and eating crayfish. He was sweating profusely and said:
"Xiao Qiang, don't act like you're desperate. Eat slowly and eat less. It's too spicy and your stomach can't stand it."
"Huang Han, really, why do you put so much spicy food in it? My mouth is so spicy."
Xiao's father asked: "How are Huang Han's grades now? When I saw him delivering crayfish just now, I noticed that you were very polite to him. You were always fierce before."
Talking about Huang Han, the little Loli couldn't help but feel sad and said quietly:
"He! He is very different now from before. Not only is he clean, but he can also tell stories and memorize quickly. His scores in this midterm exam will definitely be the same."
Xiao's mother said: "You didn't mention Huang Han like this before. You seemed to be laughing at him."
"How can I possibly laugh at him now? It would be better if he doesn't laugh at me. Alas! No wonder dad always wants a boy. It turns out that boys are so sensible."
These words touched Xiao's father's sadness. He drained the wine in one gulp and picked up the bottle to pour wine.
Mother Xiao was unhappy and said, "You have already had two drinks. If you drink more, you will have overdosed. I will not serve you if you drink too much."
Father Xiao, who was obviously drunk, looked at his three daughters. His eldest daughter was already married, and now there are three sisters, Xiao Qiang, living with their parents.
Said: "Huang Daozhou's family is so poor that he can't even afford white rice, but he has a son. My family eats meat every three days, and it doesn't taste good in the mouth!"
Mother Xiao grabbed the wine glass and said angrily: "You're here again. Do you blame me for not having a son? Don't drink anymore."
…
At Liu Xiaoming's house, Liu's father also took time to go home for dinner. He was very surprised when he saw the crayfish and asked: "Where did this thing come from? It smells good and is quite fragrant."
Liu Xiaoming said: "Huang Han gave it to my family. He said thank you."
"Well! That kid is very sensible, Xiao Ming, Xiao Gang, you should learn from him."
Father Liu peeled off a crayfish and ate it. He was surprised and said: "Hey! I didn't expect that the crayfish is so delicious when cooked like this."
Liu Xiaoming said: "Huang Han is so bad, so we can't make it less spicy. I'm almost going to die from the spicy food."
Father Liu said: "Then don't eat it, just eat meat!"
"No, the meat is not as delicious as crayfish. As long as it is not too spicy, I will work hard."
This story was played out in several restaurants at the same time. Everyone found it too spicy, but no one backed down. They all fought bravely until only soup was left in the bowl.
Liu Xiaoming was still unfinished and said, "I'll go to Huang Han's house to see if there are any more at his house."
"I'm not allowed to go. Isn't it a shame?"
