Chapter 193: : Grandma Yu's concern (8 more)
Grandma Yu has always been unpleasant to speak.
Not only was Xia Xiaolan accustomed to it, she also heard the meaning of care from her words. Xia Xiaolan also felt that she was too cheap, but she also explained two sentences:
"Why not rent, your house is comfortable for me to live in. Something was delayed yesterday. We temporarily rested in Anqing County for one night. My mother and the others rushed to open the shop. It's not that you are afraid that you are finished eating dumplings and buns. Let me come back quickly. Check it out."
Grandma Yu's face was slightly dark, and her mouth was quite disgusting:
"What do you do, you can't make a dumpling round. Fortunately, your brain is not stupid enough to study, so keep your hands and hold a pen!"
Xia Xiaolan just said something kind, and Grandma Yu didn't save any face.
Xia Xiaolan's face is always red, why aren't the dumplings she made round? Kneading the folds is a bit ugly. It's okay if you don't break the skin when cooking. She was from Yueyang in her previous life, and the land of fish and rice was originally not good at making pasta.
Grandma Yu didn't catch this point and didn't let it go.
Although she was always wary of Xia Xiaolan's mother and daughter, she was an old man who had been lonely for a long time, and slowly got used to the existence of Xia Xiaolan and Liu Fen. Xia Xiaolan's mother and daughter said they would return on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year before returning to their hometown. Grandma Yu didn't see them yesterday. She was afraid that they had an accident halfway through, and she was worried that the two did not want to rent the house.
The rent was given for half a year at a time, but Xia Xiaolan made a profitable clothing business. Now the shop at No. 45 Erqi Road is also rented. If the mother and daughter give up a little rent, it is possible to rent directly to another place.
It was this kind of worry that Grandma Yu didn't sleep well at night. She originally planned to change her attitude, but when she saw Xia Xiaolan, she lost her face again.
Fortunately, Xia Xiaolan didn't care, Grandma Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
During the New Year's Day, the house was really deserted. Unlike now, when Xia Xiaolan put down things and wiped the table and sweeping the floor, and humming a song, Grandma Yu felt much better.
There were not many passers-by on the fifth street on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Two people, Li Fengmei and Liu Fen, could handle the business in the store. Xia Xiaolan went home to clean up the sanitation and spread out the letter paper on the table to write a reply to Zhou Cheng.
Asked whether the yam was delicious, whether the clothes were the right size, and asked Zhou Cheng about when he would have a holiday.
Thinking that Zhou Cheng knew a lot of people, I added a few words to the letter:
"I don't know if you can help find foreign magazines about home improvement, as well as books on architecture. My uncle wants to get involved in this industry. Kang Wei even asked him to help decorate the house in the next year. He wants to visit Beijing... I may also travel with me, and I hope we will have a chance to meet at that time."
Xia Xiaolan hadn't planned to go with Liu Yong.
However, this job was done for an acquaintance, and Kang Wei might not be able to tell the truth after he was dissatisfied.
Xia Xiaolan thought about running with Liu Yong, at least to take a look at the actual apartment layout of Kang Wei's house, and then to find out which decoration materials can be bought in Beijing. The types of building materials in the capital are definitely more abundant than those in the commercial capital. You don't have to go to Yangcheng to buy a crystal lamp. Although the commercial capital is a railway hub in the Central Plains, it is far less convenient in foreign affairs than in the capital.
When people in Shangdu saw the decoration of "Blue Phoenix", they felt luxurious, while the decoration of foreign-related hotels in Beijing was called high-end.
Kang Wei has seen the world, and he is not short of money. His house can be well designed.
Xia Xiaolan sent the letter, and then slowly went to the store.
Today's business is really so-so. It can't compare with the turnover of thousands of days ago. It only sold more than 800 when the door closed at night... First, there were a lot fewer customers, and secondly, there was not much stock in the store.
In the three stores of Nuo Da, there are only sparse jeans and sweaters, plus a little woolen coat.
Customers have fewer choices. Even if they only sell more than 800 a day, the remaining goods in the store will not last for a few days. Xia Xiaolan must go to Yangcheng to get the goods as soon as possible, this time she plans to take Li Fengmei. Li Fengmei and Liu Fen will take turns to follow Xia Xiaolan to purchase goods. Otherwise, when Xia Xiaolan goes to college, the two have not developed their vision of choosing clothes. Lets not say that the business of "Blue Phoenix" has plummeted. If you want to continue to make a lot of money, it is very Difficult.
In addition to home improvement magazines, she also subscribes to fashion magazines, moisturizing things quietly to cultivate the aesthetics of her mother and aunt.
Li Fengmei wants a TV set. You can understand the fashion outside through film and television works. But in 1984, was there a fashion magazine in China?
After finishing cleaning and closing the door, when I got home, the smell of meat buns wafted out of the kitchen.
Smell the taste, it is the authentic pork and green onion stuffing.
"I don't take advantage of anyone. This is what your mother and daughter eat."
Grandma Yu was talking about Liu Fen making dumplings and making steamed buns a year ago. The old lady was obviously worried that they would not have time to cook on the first day when they resumed business.
Xia Xiaolan squeezed a thin-skinned bun and took a bite, which was hot and fragrant.
Grandma Yus craftsmanship is better than those selling steamed buns in the food street, and Xia Xiaolan couldnt help boasting:
"Your craftsmanship is amazing. It tastes better than the ones in the outside store."
The same is steamed stuffed buns, and the same is pork and green onion fillings. Grandma Yu's taste is different. Xia Xiaolan is not someone who has never eaten good things. She is also full of praise for her grandma's craftsmanship. You can imagine the taste of steamed buns.
Neither mother nor daughter knew that Grandma Yus craftsmanship was so good. It was the first time she had eaten what Grandma Yu made after renting a house for a few months.
Grandma Yus stereotyped face was proud and disdainful:
"What's in the store? It is sold to so many people, even if it is a time-honored brand, it can't be used carefully. The three-point fat and seven-point lean, the best-tasting pig plum meat is only a few catties... Forget it, I dont understand it to you."
Its the old yellow calendar from decades ago. Grandma Yu made a few sentences and found it boring.
Her family used to work in the kitchen. The white case and the red case were clearly divided. The steamed buns were not delicious, and some people were willing to think about it. Those who had the ability would get higher wages and set up a banquet to invite celebrity chefs from the south. There are always things that come.
The past is like a smoke, but then there are so many poor and particular, it would be nice to have enough to eat!
Liu Fen saw that her daughter was full of praise for the buns made by her grandma. Grandma Yu will have to be awkward if she knows it. What kind of family handicraft? Its the people in the kitchen who are trying their best to please her as the eldest lady... In the blink of an eye, Miss Yu becomes Grandma Yu, relying on the master Baijian at home. Craftsmanship "to please" a mother and daughter from the countryside, it's really a feng shui turn!
After eating too much pork and green onion buns from grandma, Xia Xiaolan did not go to bed until 12 o'clock in the evening.
The paper is almost done again, it seems that I can go to Shangdu High School to do some new exercises.
Early the next morning, Hu Yongcai came to the door with two women's bicycles that Xia Xiaolan asked him to buy a year ago.
The body is smaller, a red car and a pink car look very beautiful.
"Brother Hu, your skills are so great that you can't handle these two cars, right?"
Hu Yongcai laughed and listened to Xia Xiaolan's praise.
Two cars are not easy to buy, but Xia Xiaolan paid enough money to spend more time and energy.
Hu Yongcai was embarrassed by another thing: "The cargo is definitely not as good as 28 bars, but the lesbians ride effortlessly... By the way, Zhu Fang came to me two days ago."
