Chapter 15
Lin Minjun brought all the luggage from Yunnan in Zhao’s house, now the rented house is empty, taking advantage of the warm winter sunshine, she has to move all the things, like little ants moving to their own house before nightfall, so that they can be completely settled down
Two lifetimes ago, she was waiting to get married in Lu Deping’s house, belonging to the fence, this life to start over, in this huge city, she actually gave herself a small place to stay
This way Lin Minjun do not know how to describe their own mood, all the way to the feet like flying, walked to the Zhao family when it was already more than three o’clock in the afternoon
It was a coincidence that Zhao’s mother was at home, and Zhao Ning was also at home, talking about the matter of renting a room
Zhao mother patted Zhao Ning’s palm, pondered and said, “Your brother’s factory has already urged once, your brother must come back to work, mom thought, why don’t you take Minjun back to your grandpa’s house first, grandpa’s house is in the countryside, the room is still enough to live”
“That’s fine, it just so happens that the Youth Office can’t arrange a post for the time being now, I just go to queue up every day, after going to Yunnan for so many years, I haven’t gone back to see my grandpa yet” When Zhao Ning spoke to her mom, there was nothing noble and indifferent, just like a well-behaved little sheep
The mother and daughter didn’t know about the progress at Lin Minjun’s place yet, so they discussed here that if they couldn’t find a suitable house, they would ask their daughter to take Lin Minjun with her to live in the countryside for a while
Lin Minjun stood outside the door, her nose a little sour, her eyes a little red, she felt that Zhao mother, Zhao family are their own great benefactor, especially Zhao mother
It was clear that she had nothing to do with the Zhao family and was a stranger, but she was willing to consider herself wholeheartedly
Lin Minjun, who hadn’t received any love from her elders since she was a child, couldn’t help but sniff her nose to keep her tears from falling
The commotion startled the people in the house, Zhao mother coughed deeply twice and looked towards the door, “Who’s outside, there’s someone in the house, come in”
Zhao mother’s health is not good, and the character is very sincere, see people fall into tears themselves will fall into tears, Lin Minjun before going in hurriedly wiped their own tears, put up a smile again, a few steps into the house, into the smile, “Auntie, Zhao Ning, I found a house ah! I’ve already rented it and cleaned it, so I’m coming back to get my things, so I can move in tonight!”
“Really? Why didn’t you tell us so that I could help you take a look” Zhao mother was first shocked, directly sat up from the stool, anxious: “You’re young and don’t understand, housing is not just about rent, but also about the neighbors, the neighbors are not good, you’ll make a mess!”
Zhao Ning hurriedly patted her mother’s back and said, “Mom, don’t be anxious, let’s listen to little Ajun tell us about the situation of the house, it’s not necessarily very bad! Ah Jun, where is your new house?”
“It’s in the East City” Lin Minjun also quickly poured a cup of warm water for Zhao mother and brought it to her mouth before continuing, “It’s the original crescent hutong that was given to the power supply bureau employees to live in, the innermost one of the four courtyards, and I rented an inverted room”
“How many families live inside?” Zhao mother drank her tea and finally caught her breath
Lin Minjun: “A dozen or so families, there’s an older woman who lives in the first courtyard who is very nice, it was only through her that I found this house, you don’t have to worry”
“A dozen or so households isn’t a lot, and they’re all employees of the power supply bureau, they have families and jobs, it’s unlikely that people would have nothing to do to make things difficult for you, good, this house is very good” Zhao mother breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “I’m relieved that you’ve found a house and have a place to live, don’t be lax, hurry up and find a line of work that can support yourself, and then you’ll be able to settle down here, and no one will be able to drive you away”
Lin Minjun’s eyes reddened once again, but she froze and held it back in her heart, nodding her head vigorously, “Good! I will definitely settle down here Auntie, I will come back to see you”
Now in winter, it gets dark very early in the north, looking at the sun going down, Lin Minjun went into the house to pack up her bag, carrying her bag to the Zhao family door, bowed to Zhao Ning and Zhao mother, thanked her again and again, Lin Minjun left
On the way back to East City, Lin Minjun had been thinking about a problem
Auntie Zhao was right just now, the house had fallen, but without a source of income, she was still sitting on her ass, so she had to hurry, and get the stall ready
She now has a total of more than four hundred and sixty dollars left in her hand, can not be a one-time investment in all, at most, allocate one hundred dollars to support the stall, in case the business does not work, she still has a way to live
One hundred dollars to support up the stall, want to sell rice sell soup sell rice noodles is not, Lin Minjun think about it, thought of a snack in his hometown, both fragrant and crispy, spicy, spicy, a bite down, the outer skin is crispy, inside is soft and sticky
The most important thing is that the raw materials of this snack are cheap and affordable, very suitable for her to use to set up a stall!
Along the way calculating, Lin Minjun went back to Yueya Hutong, this night lying in the small house, outside the north wind whistling, she has not yet had time to buy a coal stove, there is no fire kang, so she wrapped herself in two layers of quilts
East side rolled a little, west side rolled a little, and then raised his legs to tuck the quilt under his feet, Lin Minjun like a chrysalis, she closed her eyes, the first time since rebirth to sleep a sweet dream
Eat and sleep, the next day Lin Minjun began to work on the matter of setting up a stall, she had already thought about what to sell at the stall, and now all she had to do was to improve the taste, so that it adapted to the taste of the people of the North City
So early in the morning Lin Minjun went out of the door, first to buy a coal stove, buy pots, buy coal, buy oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar and other seasonings, first to pack the tools, and then a trip out of the door, which is ready to buy raw materials
When I came back to carry a basket into the door, just bumped into Auntie Xu
Auntie Xu was very surprised, “Girl, what are you busy doing this morning, after buying this and that, but also carried such a big basket?”
Coal stoves, pots, Lin Minjun buy are double, she wants to separate their own use and for the guests to eat, since she wants to do, she has to do the best, of course, the cost is not small, so the two sets of purchase down, almost to thirty dollars
“Didn’t you say you were going to set up a stall before? I’m buying tools and raw materials” Lin Minjun stopped and wiped her sweat
“What kind of stall, such a big battle” Auntie Xu was even more curious, “I’ve seen other people set up stalls, but it’s just a rag or a snakeskin bag, the better ones get a big stove to bake sweet potatoes, I haven’t seen you like this yet, pots and pans all on the line”
She came over to take a look, the basket is full of potatoes, a round and large, and quickly said, “You are going to set up a stall to sell potatoes? People have long been tired of potatoes, and this won’t sell “
Lin Minjun was still smiling, “I know, but when people eat potatoes, most of them are stewed right, what I want to sell is our hometown’s fried yam, the surface of the yam is fried with a charred and crispy surface, with my own ground chili powder, it’s a different taste, but I feel that you people here are not very capable of eating spicy food, so I still have to adjust the amount of chili again “
Potatoes are yams, yams are potatoes, this thing can be put down very well, once winter comes, it floods the market, Auntie Xu has long since gotten tired of eating it, but when she heard Lin Minjun say this, her mouth inexplicably began to secrete saliva, only to feel that she could already smell that spicy oil flavor
But she was still a bit worried for Lin Minjun, “This is something that every household has, anyone can make it, can you sell it?”
To say the other Lin Minjun not dare to guarantee, but her craft is absolutely over the top, not to mention the big meal, on the fried potatoes this simple can not be more simple snacks, in the hometown, a number of children are not willing to eat their own home, holding the potatoes and oil for her to do, she tuned out the taste of the only one good
So Lin Minjun warm voice said, “Auntie, fried potatoes to use oil, and chili powder, do it yourself at home is very troublesome, and then again, a person made out of a flavor, maybe there are people who love to eat the flavor I do it”
The two discussed about whether or not frying yams can make money, and in the end, Auntie Xu was convinced, “It makes sense, girl, don’t you want to adjust the flavor?”
“Yes, what?” Lin Minjun was at a loss
Auntie Xu clapped her hands together, “You just moved here, I’m going to bring you to recognize your face in the courtyard, so that when we meet outside, we can help you out We live in this courtyard are authentic old Beicheng people, taste is also the old taste, they have to say delicious, your business will not be bad, I am now thinking, if you want to find people to try the taste, turn back to prepare a little, I will take you to send a little door to door to recognize each other, the gift of many people are not strange, do not you think so?”
She added, “Of course, this still depends on your own idea, if you are willing to send it, if not I’ll take you on a string, in short, recognize the faces in this yard”
“I’m willing ah, how about this, I’ll do it this afternoon and we’ll go in the evening?” Lin Minjun nodded of course
“It’s a deal, go back quickly, the wind outside is chilly”
Taste test is of course the more people the better, and do not care about people eat enough, a small taste, but also to mention the views, how good
The main thing is, potatoes it cheap ah!
Lin Minjun carry potatoes back to their own house, took a bench to sit in the doorway of the kitchen, the potatoes washed, which began peeling
After peeling and cutting small pieces, but also in the water to soak, soak out the starch inside
So busy in the afternoon, to the day when it is dark when the yard people began to come back from work, Lin Minjun also began to start the frying pan fried potatoes, some people like to eat fried skin crispy inside the soft and sticky clicks of the potatoes, some people like to eat raw crispy, Lin Minjun fried two kinds of respectively
After frying the taro put on a variety of seasonings, and then put mint and cilantro, as well as their own chili powder from Yunnan brought over to mix well, with a small pot, this is done
Lin Minjun first gave a copy to Auntie Xu, and then led by Auntie Xu to recognize people in the yard
Starting with the second courtyard first, the main house of the second courtyard is unoccupied, and the west room is occupied by the first grandpa’s family
“The first is an electrician with a high grade and a high salary, and he is in charge of our yard, so if you have any difficulties in the future, you can just look for him” Xu Auntie urged
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the actual actual potato, and you’ll be able to see that it’s a good idea to take a look at the actual potato, and you’ll be able to see that it’s a good idea to take a look at the actual potato
After the first moncler outlet online, then go to the main house in the yard moncler outlet online, moncler outlet online, is also a power supply bureau employees, is a leader, although not as the title of the moncler outlet online, but also the yard of the uncrowned official
The two moncler jackets are smiling, and when they heard that Lin Minjun is a Yunnan girl who came to the capital alone, they praised her for being self-reliant and a woman who can hold up half the sky
The man is a leader, said more decent, “Well, the country is now supporting the individual economy, you set up your own stall to solve the livelihood, but also to the country to ease the burden, good job, do a good job, surely can do”
Just one fried potato, let her get the yard two grandpa’s approval?
And they both liked it, this proved that business wouldn’t be bad, right?
Lin Minjun smiled slightly and nodded
The first grandpa was very good at talking, but his wife, the first grandma, was far worse, never talking through her head, and suddenly God came with a sentence, “Oh my god, a woman going out to set up a stall, isn’t that throwing her head out and not abiding by the ways of women?”
At the same time, a moncler outlet store murderous gaze on the skimmed over
