After returning to the Han family. Su Yue looked for an opportunity to secretly talk to Mrs. Han.
She talked about wholesaling of cakes and her plan to find someone to help her. She wanted to teach Mrs. Han how to make cakes. In the future, when she went to work, she could ask Mrs. Han to help her make cakes.
When the old lady Han heard this, she hurriedly waved her hands, “No, no, no, this is your exclusive craft. How can you teach me casually.”
The old lady said this, and Su Yue trusted her even more. In fact, she didn’t make this pastry at all. The method is regarded as an exclusive craft. In fact, many people in modern times can make it. It’s just that the ones she makes are more delicious than most people. In addition, people in this era have never eaten or seen these pastries, so it seems that The pastries are particularly delicious.
Su Yue thinks that Mrs. Han is very suitable for making pastries. The old lady has been busy in the kitchen all her life. She has cooking skills, and her cooking skills are not bad. In addition, the old lady loves to be clean and pays special attention to hygiene. Su Yue feels at ease when she makes pastries. The most important thing is that the old lady has a good character and she can be trusted.
Su Yue said: “Auntie, the weather will be fine in a few days and I will have to go to work. I won’t have time to make pastries by then. Now the other person is doing business with me for wholesaled pastries. But I’m too busy. Besides, if the Educated Youth Point is repaired, I’ll have to move back. Then it will be even more inconvenient to make pastries. If you don’t help me, no one will.” The old lady was still a little hesitant.
“Auntie, if you don’t help me, I will have to find someone else. But what if the others are unreliable and report me.”
Hearing what Su Yue said, the old lady was shocked and said hurriedly: “Don’t look around for others, I’ll do it for you. I won’t tell anyone and promise not to leak it out. You can rest assured that you won’t be reported.”
After achieving the goal, Su Yue smiled sweetly and said, “Okay, aunt, I’ll trouble you from now on. Starting tomorrow, you can learn how to make pastries with me.”
Seeing that Su Yue trusted her so much, Mrs. Han was very happy and determined to learn well and help her when the time came.
The next day, when Su Yue was making pastries again, in addition to asking Han Aiguo to light the fire, she also called Old Mrs. Han into the kitchen.
Han’s third daughter-in-law’s eyes flashed when she saw this, she nudged Han’s second daughter-in-law with her elbow, and muttered: “I heard that Su Zhiqing is going to teach mother how to make cakes, and ask her to help her in the future.”
Han’s second daughter-in-law also said Knowing this, she nodded and couldn’t help but glance in the direction of the kitchen.
Han Lao’s third daughter-in-law was a little dissatisfied, “You said Su Yue wanted help from us, why didn’t she ask us? After all, we are young and can work more efficiently than our mother. At least we have better eyesight than the old lady. If she needs to find someone for this. She should ask us for help.” Anyway, she is better than the old lady. What did Su Yue think?
Han’s second daughter-in-law paused and said, “Maybe we have to go to work and don’t have time to make cakes. Mom is so old, so she doesn’t have to go to work. She has time at home.”
Han’s third daughter-in-law heard that she doesn’t have to work, she became even more unhappy, “Then we don’t have to work. We can earn much more by making pastries than working. If I can make pastries, why would I go to work? It only costs a few cents a day to work hard and there’s not enough to eat.”
Han Lao’s second daughter-in-law also felt the same.
Yes, she really wanted to learn how to make pastry from Su Yue. If she mastered this skill, she would have no worries in her life, but the old lady didn’t let them approach the kitchen or help, so they didn’t even have a chance.
Han’s second daughter-in-law glanced at Han’s third daughter-in-law and whispered: “How do I know that? You have to ask Su yue.”
Han’s third daughter-in-law looked at the kitchen and fell into deep thought.
Su Yue is teaching Mrs. Han how to make pastries at this time, because she has made too many types of pastries before, and making so many types is tedious and tiring. Su Yue is not afraid of being tired, but she can’t torment the old lady like this, so she mainly taught her a few delicious, simple and hard-to-imitate dishes. She planned to sell these to make money in the future. When she had time, she would develop new varieties and sell them, so that she would not waste efforts and earn points as well as not delay in making money.
Although points are important, making money is equally important. When the points reach 800 points, the system will give her a prescription to treat her legs, but it will only give her one prescription. She has to prepare the specific medicinal materials herself. She doesn’t know if it’s expensive or not, but if it’s very expensive and she can’t find the money to buy the medicinal materials, it will be in vain, so she still have to prepare the money.
Mrs. Han has been working in the kitchen for decades, and steaming steamed buns and so on is not a problem, so she learned to make pastries very quickly. Su Yue taught her all morning and she basically got it, and then she helped Su Yue makes cakes together.
Su Yue calculated in her mind that she would have to make at least 300 pastries a day in the future. If the sales in the city were good, she might make more. At this time, there was no machine. She could make pastries, prepare fillings, steam pastries, etc. She was a little worried that the old lady wouldn’t be able to do all the work with just one hand, so she asked: “Auntie, I don’t think you can do it alone. It’s too tiring. You are old that you will be exhausted. You should ask someone to help you.”
Su Yue actually wanted Han Lao’s second wife and Han Lao’s third wife to help. Although they have all kinds of minor problems, at least they won’t tell this matter and come to help.
But Mrs. Han did not consider these two daughters-in-law, because she knew these two daughters-in-law. Once they learned this craft, their natal families would definitely know then a lot of people would get involved, and It will be uncertain at that time , Not only will they try to steal business, but she would also be reported accidentally, which would affect the entire family. This was why she didn’t let her two daughters-in-law get close to the kitchen.
Old Mrs. Han said: “It’s not good for too many people to learn. It’s better for me to do it myself. I don’t think I will be tired. I’ll be fine if I take my time.”
Su Yue hesitated and went to see Han Aiguo.
Seeing this, Han Aiguo thought for a while and said, “Otherwise, I can help my mother.”
Su Yue and Mrs. Han were both stunned.
Han Aiguo: “I can’t work with my legs, so I can help at home. Although I’m not good at cooking, I have the strength to help with making noodles, washing beans, doing chores, etc. This way, my mother can be busy, and It’s more reliable and you also don’t have to worry about who to ask for help.”
Su Yue thought about it, it was true, so she didn’t have to find someone to help alone. She looked at him, “Are you really willing?”
How could a grown man like Han Aiguo be willing to enter the kitchen? There are not many men in the village going to the ground at this time.
It’s okay to work, but basically they don’t want to go into the kitchen. They just have to wait for dinner when they get home. They feel that working in the kitchen is only a woman’s business. Han Lao Er and Han Lao San have never worked in the kitchen. But Han Aiguo was willing to go into the kitchen to help light the fire, and now he was also willing to help make pastries. She was really surprised.
She is so happy that the man she is looking for is not as egoistic as the other grown men.
Han Aiguo looked at her with particularly gentle eyes, “As long as you like me, of course I am willing.”
Su Yue gave him an angry look. Why did she like him? She was happy, haha.
Old Mrs. Han watched the two young people flirting with each other and felt happy in her heart. Although she also felt that men did not need to enter the kitchen, the eldest son was willing to help her. As an old lady, she could mix in whatever she wanted. And if the eldest son could help with it, she would be little free.
But who will light the fire?
Mrs. Han asked this question.
Su Yue thought for a while and said, “I think it’s better to ask Hehua to light the fire. Hehua can make a good fire and work quickly. Anyway, she can get three work points as a child, so she doesn’t have anything. It’s better to light a fire at home, and I’ll give her one yuan a day.”
After thinking about it, Mrs. Han thought that her eldest granddaughter could do it, but she felt that Su Yue shouldn’t give any money to her eldest granddaughter to stay at home to help, and the whole family was doing it anyway. Those who rely on Su Yue to make money should help.
But she thought about the second daughter-in-law again, and finally swallowed the words that she didn’t have to pay. If she didn’t give her eldest granddaughter some benefits, the second daughter-in-law might not be willing to let her eldest granddaughter not go to work. Then she would say some weird words. It’s not good if it hurt Su Yue.
Mrs. Han wiped her hands on her apron and immediately called Hehua into the kitchen and told her about Su Yue asking her to light the fire.
When Hehua heard this, she nodded without thinking, “Aunt Su Yue, I am willing. I don’t want your money, I will light the fire for you for free.”
Hehua knew that they relied on Su Yue to make money at home, so she was grateful to her. Moreover, since Aunt Su Yue came to their home, the food has become better and there is often delicious food at home.
She is very happy. She even hopes that Aunt Su Yue can live in their home for the rest of her life and never leaves. Now Aunt Su Yue needs help. She is willing.
Su Yue touched the little girl’s head and said with a smile: “Aunt Su Yue can’t ask you to work for nothing, you must keep the money.”
Hehua didn’t know what to do, so she looked at ger grandma.
Old Mrs. Han nodded to her, “You can take it if your Aunt Su Yue gives it to you. From now on, grandma will keep half of the money you get and save it for your dowry in the future. You can give the other half to your mother.”
After hearing what grandma said, Hehua agreed and promised to make a good fire in the future.
Old Mrs. Han brought up this matter at the dinner table. When Mrs. Han’s second daughter-in-law heard that the big girl could get one yuan and pay her fifty cents every day, she immediately smiled happily and kept telling Hehua, “You can do it in the future. Make a good fire, don’t be careless, you know!”
Hehua nodded quickly, nodding her head like a rattle.
Han’s third daughter-in-law was unbalanced she looked at Su Yue and Said: “Sister, if you want to find someone to make a fire, why don’t you find me? I can make a fire. I can make a fire very well. It’s better than a girl like HeHua.” Han’s second daughter-in-law’s smile faded and she looked a little uneasy.
Su Yue chose not to speak, because Mrs. Han had already reprimanded her, “Why is everything your business! don’t you need to work? What will the family eat if you don’t work?”
Han Lao’s third daughter-in-law said: “Mom, this is about Sister Su Yue. I only work for seven or eight work points, with that I can’t earn even one dollar. I might as well light the fire for Sister Su Yue.”
Old Mrs. Han spat at her, “You can’t earn even one dollar. Only the children in our family can keep half of the money they make. The adults have to hand it over. What do you think? Are you still willing to light a fire?”
When Han’s third daughter-in-law heard this, she immediately stopped talking. She has to hand over all the money she made. Then why must she be busy? She might as well go to work and be lazy.
Seeing that she stopped talking, Mrs. Han looked around at everyone and said, “When the weather clears, except for the fourth child who stays to work and run errands, everyone else should go to work and stop thinking about good things all day long.”
No one dared to dispute what the old lady said. After all, food is the most important thing these days. If there are no workers, there will be no food rations. You can’t rely solely on money to buy food. No amount of money will be enough to buy it.
Seeing that no one had anything to say, Su Yue talked about the future remuneration for everyone in public.
Asking Mrs. Han to help make pastries, Su Yue decided to give the old lady three points of the profit and Han Aimin two points. If Han Lao Er and Han Lao San also help during special times, they will give another.
In this way, the Han family and her are equal to a 50-50 profit. As for Han Aiguo, sorry, no.
This is what Su Yue explained to Han Aiguo when no one was around, “I’m your partner. It’s right for you to help me. Do you have the nerve to ask for my money?”
Han Aiguo shook his head in good faith, “Its okay , I’ll give it to you.”
” You never get paid for your work, you just do what you are told.”
Satisfied, Su Yue secretly looked outside the kitchen door and saw that no one was outside. Everyone else had gone to bed. She stood up on tiptoes and kissed him quickly on the face, then looked at him with her hands behind her back and smiled. “Then I’m not a black-hearted boss. Everyone who works for me is paid. Are you satisfied with your salary?”
Han Aiguo froze immediately and touched the cheek he was kissed.
After a few seconds, his cheek suddenly his ears were red, but the look he was looking at became deeper and deeper, “Yue’er…”
Su Yue blinked, “What did you call me?”
Han Aiguo pursed his lips, Tentatively, he stretched out his hand and slowly touched her waist. He gently placed his hands on both sides of her waist. Seeing that she just smiled but did not object, he felt so sweet that he slowly wrapped his arms around her waist. Feeling the soft touch on his waist, he completely held her in his arms.
“Yue’er…” He looked at her, his eyes as bright as stars, “Can I just call you Yue’er from now on?”
Yue’er… Su Yue chewed the name carefully, From these two words, she can taste the deep love and pampering, like a treasure he protects in his heart, she can’t help but feel sweet in her heart.
She nodded slightly and acquiesced to the title.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that life had a different meaning.
Soon the day came for the wholesale pastry agreement with Jiang Haishan. Su Yue took the pastries made by Mrs. Han and Han Aiguo and made a total of 1,500 pastries in three days, of which 500 were taken to the town to sell it, and wholesale the other one thousand yuan directly to Jiang Haishan.
This time Han Laoer and Han Aimin went to the town together. Han Aimin sent a thousand pieces of pastries to Sister Jiang’s house, and then went to other places with Han Laoer to sell pastries.
Someone was busy with cakes, so Su Yue concentrated on making her own delicacies. She was going to make some steamed buns and shaomai, and steam them in a pot every morning before eating them as porridge. She had already eaten enough corn pancakes and steamed buns, the buns Han Aiguo bought for her last time in town directly aroused her greed.
Just as she said, she took out the flour and pushed it directly to Han Aiguo, winking at him playfully, “Comrade Free Worker, it’s time for you to show off!”
Han Aiguo took the flour with a smile in his eyes. He is now very good at kneading dough, and with his strong hands, he is better at kneading dough than Su Yue and Mrs. Han. He can knead the dough smoothly in no time. So Su Yue started to work openly, and came to him whenever she wanted to meet.
Of course, Han Aiguo is also very happy.
Su Yue prepared the stuffing for steamed buns. She got leeks from the vegetable garden and soaked vermicelli noodles in hot water. She planned to make steamed buns with chives and vermicelli. In addition, she also bought meat to make meat buns. Make some bean paste filling with red beans and add a bean paste bun. Three flavors are enough.
As for the siomai, she plans to make it with pork cubes mixed with rice, which will make it very fragrant.
Su Yue moved very quickly. In an hour, all the buns and siomai were ready. She put them on the steamer and steamed them for half an hour.
At this moment, two children, Maomao and Xiaolei, suddenly shouted in the yard, “The sun is coming out, hahaha, it’s finally sunny.”
Su Yue’s heart skipped a beat, she wiped her hands and ran out of the kitchen, and saw that the sky was clear. The bright sunshine emerged from behind the dark clouds, making the earth shine golden.
The rain has stopped, which is a sign that the weather is beginning to clear up.
It has rained for so many days in a row, making the members’ homes damp and moldy. When they go out, they are covered in mud and water. Many people’s homes have become flooded during this period, which is extremely inconvenient. Everyone had been impatient for a long time. Now they were very happy to see the sun coming out. They all ran to the door to look at it and shouted: “The sun is coming out. The sky has finally cleared up.”
Su Yue was not so happy, but felt depressed. The sun was shining brightly. Being out means that the Educated Youth Point can be repaired. Once the Educated Youth Point is repaired, it means that she will leave the Han family and move back.
Su Yue suddenly felt a little sad and couldn’t help but look at Han Aiguo, but he had the same reluctance in his eyes.
