Chapter 106 Making 3 Meiji with Tomatoes
Gu Yunqi patted his body, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find a single penny.
Wen Luozhi waited patiently, watching him pat his chest and rummage through his sleeves, but he couldn't produce anything.
"Ha, so you don't have money?" Just as she was about to take back her things, Jun Qianzi's voice rang out from outside the door, "Wang Liu Ma, don't eat other people's food before you've paid!"
How can this guy run so fast! He disappeared in the time it takes to glance at that miscellaneous book at the roadside stall.
Jun Qianzi knows Gu Yunqi's personality all too well; he hopes Gu Yunqi won't cause trouble as soon as he arrives!
Wen Luozhi raised an eyebrow at him as he entered, looking helpless, and asked, "Friend?"
Jun Qianzi nodded, and Wen Luozhi gestured towards the packaged pastries, holding out her hand. "One tael and one mace. He said he wanted the prettiest ones."
Wen Luozhi's eyes darted back and forth between the two of them. She thought for a moment, "That shouldn't be possible, right?" But the eyes of the guy named Wang Liuma were practically gleaming.
After paying the money, Jun Qianzi bought a lot more, which made Gu Yunqi chatter incessantly beside him.
"What kind of look is that, Boss Wen?" Jun Qianzi looked at Wen Luozhi and vaguely knew what she was thinking.
It's alright now. Actually, she's not the only one who thinks this way. A-Yue even asked him before if he was gay...
"Oh haha, it's nothing, I'm just happy to see you two get along so well, hehe."
Wen Luozhi awkwardly explained, placing the two yogurt cakes he had bought on the table.
Once he started eating, Gu Yunqi quieted down a bit because the cake was so delicious that he couldn't even speak.
Wen Luozhi asked a few simple questions about Mo Zhengfu's situation. After Jun Qianzi finished speaking, she pulled Gu Yunqi to leave.
Gu Yunqi let out a long burp, so embarrassed he almost lost his temper on the spot.
"Qianqian, I want to eat that cake again! Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep tonight."
Gu Yunqi raised his hand and touched his round belly, looking at Jun Qianzi pitifully.
With his current face, Wen Luozhi found it incredibly irritating to look at.
Her hands moved almost lightning fast as she quickly packed two portions and pushed them towards Gu Yunqi, saying, "These are for you. I suppose Doctor Jun should be heading back to the clinic soon, right? Don't delay the patients' appointments."
She came out with a smile to see someone off, and what she said sounded very considerate.
What he really thought was, "You better get out of here already!" Two girls who came to buy things were scared away when they saw Wang Liu Ma at the door!
"Hehe, thanks a lot, little boss!"
Gu Yunqi walked out carrying a pile of food, turning back before saying, "I'll come back to patronize your business again next time."
Wen Luozhi: ...
Jun Qianzi still wanted to pay for the cake, but Wen Luozhi waved her hand and said, "It's just a little food, not worth it. I'd appreciate it if you could keep an eye on the grandfather and grandson I bought for my family, Doctor Jun."
She hasn't had a chance to visit yet today; Xiao Hu caused quite a commotion when she came to town this morning.
If it weren't for her second brother coaxing her by saying he'd make her a little carriage, she'd probably still be angry with him right now.
If the old man recovers soon, she can bring Mo Li back to keep him company.
The children in the village all had to work, either digging for wild vegetables in the mountains or catching fish in the river for a treat. Xiao Hu was too young, and the family didn't feel comfortable letting him play outside.
She washed a few tomatoes and brought them into the backyard. She had picked these tomatoes that morning, intending to have them for breakfast on the way, but had forgotten about them in the car.
Suddenly remembering she could make some tomato sauce and then sandwiches, she carried the tomatoes into the small kitchen, a space she had specially reserved for her family to cook for.
She chopped a few tomatoes and made a small bowl of sauce. She fried a few eggs and some ham, and also prepared some boiled corn kernels and lettuce. She took a bag of toast from the shop and started stacking them layer by layer.
She wrapped the prepared toast slices tightly in parchment paper, then took a knife and made a diagonal cut. When she opened it, she saw that each layer was colorful and contained different things, which looked very appetizing.
She picked one up and took a big bite, her face growing increasingly satisfied as she chewed.
Hmm~ It's the same recipe and the same taste!
When she used to hand out flyers on the street, she couldn't afford to eat out, so she would make two sandwiches and keep them in her bag. When she was hungry, she would take them out and eat a couple of bites.
The happiest moment for her is when she adds a fried egg. The crispy egg with bread, salad dressing, and ketchup can keep her energized all day long.
After finishing what she had in her hand, she took the rest to the stone table in the backyard and invited the girls to eat together.
Jianjia and Fuqu looked at the things their young lady had given them with some curiosity. Daya took a bite of the sandwich and her eyes lit up.
"Auntie, is this red, sweet and sour stuff in the sandwich the tomato from our backyard?" She picked up a slice of tomato from the sandwich and asked Wen Luozhi.
"Yes, this can be eaten as a fruit or a vegetable, made into a sauce for desserts, or even fried."
I was originally thinking of selling the tomatoes at a restaurant, but it seems that's no longer necessary.
The shops near the academy are good for cooking. She can eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes all the time without getting tired of it, and dishes like sour fish soup and braised beef brisket with tomatoes are also delicious.
If you put it in a pastry shop, you can make it into sandwiches like she did today. It's quick and easy to grab one when you don't have breakfast in the morning, and your hands won't get dirty. Plus, if you store it properly, it's fine to eat the next day.
You can also make some snacks like French fries and fried chicken. With so many drinks available, it's absolutely fantastic to eat them with these.
At this time, people just come out to eat snacks and drink. If you come with three or five friends, eat fried chicken and fries and drink some sweet drinks, the happiness will be doubled!
Considering the size and comfort of the shop, Wen Luozhi felt that he would have to spend money again.
The shop near the academy is actually too small. Business is getting better and better, and there is often not enough space.
In addition, sometimes no matter what new products are launched, they will be taken there for trial sales, and the things sold have become very mixed.
In supermarkets, each item has a designated area for display and sale, making it easier for customers to find what they need, saving time, improving the shopping experience, and ultimately benefiting the business.
She gritted her teeth and made plans. Once she got her share of the ice, she would look for a restaurant, one with several floors, each selling different things.
By concentrating all their businesses in one place, everyone avoids having to travel back and forth multiple times. Instead of rushing around, they might as well make more deals.
"Jianjia Fuqu, go outside and buy a few chickens. We'll make something new!" Wen Luozhi handed over two taels of silver.
Jianjia stuffed the rest of the sandwich into her mouth, wiped her hands, took the silver, wrapped it in several layers, and then put it in her sleeve with peace of mind.
They've had a full meal every day since they got back yesterday. Most of the day has passed and she and Fuqu haven't stopped eating. They must do a good job on the things Miss asked them to do.
This was the first time she had ever taken so much money out to buy things. Back when she was in the master's house, the lady not only gave them very little, but they also had to pay out of their own pockets!
Normally, the salary of a servant is negligible, but if the master still skims off a little bit, no one can stand it.
Later, her best friend Fuqu was falsely accused of stealing silver, and in a fit of anger, she took her and ran away.
