    Gao Liang soaked the fungus and kelp overnight and set the alarm clock at three o'clock. He must get up early to cook tomorrow, otherwise he would not be able to make it to the morning market.  Gao Liang lives alone in her parents' original bedroom, and her younger siblings all sleep in the same room. That's fine. She doesn't want to wake her younger siblings up so early and affect their growing bodies, but she forgets that she actually also  Growing body.

    Because of some expectations, Gao Liang fell asleep very late.  When the alarm clock rang, she felt very sleepy, but when she thought of today's mission, she immediately became energized and got up to make cold dishes.  There are five dishes to be made today, cold kelp shreds, fungus, beans and lotus root slices, and one is spiced peanuts. The amount of each is not too much, I just want to test the water on the first day.

    By the time Gao Liang finished cooking all the dishes, it was already past five o'clock. She packed the dishes in the basins, put them in the cart, and was ready to go out.  Gao Pan and Gao Shan both got up and saw her about to go out. They said in surprise: "Sister, are you done? Why don't you ask us to help?" They both agreed before going to bed last night that they would get up and help.  Yes, Gao Liang also agreed to call them.

    Gao Liang picked up the towel hanging around his neck and wiped his sweat. He smiled and said, "Are you all up? Well, come with me to the market."

    Gao Shan was thinking about her younger brother: "What about Qiangqiang?"

    Gao Liang said: "Then you stay at home with Qiangqiang, while Panpan and I go."

    Gao Shan entered the room, pulled Gao Qiang up from the bed, washed up in a hurry, closed the door, and the younger brother ran all the way to catch up with the eldest sister.  On the first day the eldest sister went to set up a stall to sell things, they were all very curious and must go and have a look.

    Because he was pushing a cart, Gao Liang didn't take the alleys. The alleys were narrow and bumpy, and the cart couldn't pass.  The four siblings pushed the cart and walked on the deserted street, with only the breeze blowing on their faces. They walked step by step into the increasingly bright sky.

    The vegetable market was already very busy. Gaoliang's cart was a bit too big to pass through the crowds, so I found a place to stop at the entrance of the market. There are two exits in this market. This one is the main exit and has a relatively large flow of people.  It's large, although a little peripheral, so it shouldn't be a problem.  Gao Liang went to buy a stack of transparent food bags and came back to prepare cold dishes.

    There are more and more people in the market, mainly farmers and hawkers selling vegetables. There are not many customers actually buying vegetables because it is too early and it is the best time to sleep in summer. Everyone is racing against time to sleep coolly.  Sleep.  The cold vegetable stalls in Gaoliang have aroused the curiosity of many people. Everyone knows about the cold dishes. The locals also mix cucumbers, melons and the like in the summer. They are basically mixed with sugar. I have never seen anything like this.  Yes, let alone sell it.

    The first person to ask was an old man: "What are you selling?"

    Gao Liang hurriedly said: "Sir, do you want to try the cold dishes?"

    The uncle looked up and saw the words posted on the front of the cart: "Sichuan cold dishes. Are you from Sichuan?"

    Gao Liang smiled and explained patiently: "No, I learned how to make Sichuan cold dishes. It's delicious. You can try it." Gao Liang knew that the first step in selling dishes must be to let people taste them. Only taste  Only when you are recognized can you have the possibility to pay for it.

    Seeing that Gao Liang was very enthusiastic and curious, the uncle tasted a five-spice peanut. The taste was really strange: "How much does it cost per pound?"

    "These are all vegetarian dishes, and the prices are the same. They all cost one yuan per catty." The cost of these dishes varies. Gao Liang roughly calculated and unified the prices. The average gross profit per catty is about four to five cents.  .

    The uncle hesitated: "It's so expensive!"

    Gao Liang smiled and said: "It's not expensive, uncle. The cost of these dishes is not low, and they need to be processed. There are more than a dozen condiments. You think they taste delicious, right? You can buy some and go back to try them."

    The other party hesitated for a moment, waved his hand and left.  Gao Liang was not discouraged at all, but his younger brothers and sisters couldn't help but have red eyes. They felt that it was really hard for the eldest sister, and no one bought her after all the effort.  Gao Pan blushed and stepped aside silently. She felt that all the embarrassment just now was on her body, making her cheeks hot.  Although the two younger ones felt embarrassed, they still stood silently beside the eldest sister and stubbornly expressed their support for the eldest sister.

    Gao Qiang poked the side of the cart with his finger and asked Gao Liang in a low voice: "Sister, will no one buy it?"

    Gao Liang smiled and comforted her younger brother: "Don't worry, someone will definitely buy it." As soon as she finished speaking, a young woman pushing a bicycle came over. The other person looked up and saw her stall: "Sichuan cold dishes-what kind of cold dishes?"  ?¡±

    Gao Liang quickly said: "It's just cold vegetables. It's hot in summer and I have no appetite for anything. Let's eat some cold vegetables to appetize."

    The word "appetizing" may reach a woman's heart,Although I couldn't understand it, I still did what the eldest sister said.  Gao Qiang also wanted to help tie the kelp knot, but he couldn't do it no matter what. He was a little discouraged. Gao Liang said: "Qiangqiang, go to Grandma Wang's house to buy beans. It costs three kilograms."

    "Okay!" Gao Qiang finally had something to do and ran to help.

    Gao Liang continues to make braised vegetables.  The brine is what I made yesterday. There are many types of seasonings used to boil the brine. The cost is relatively high, and it is very time-consuming to cook. It is impossible to make new ones every day. You only need to dilute the brine and then add spices and seasonings.  Just ensure the consistency of the product. Of course, you should also clear the soup base regularly and remove the residue.  It is more troublesome to store brine in summer because it is easy to spoil. Gao Liang has learned about the specific storage method, which is to boil it in the morning and evening. When not in use, let it sit aside and not touch it at all. This can ensure that the brine does not deteriorate.

    When Gao Liang was putting ingredients into the boiling brine, Gao Qiang came back. He was carrying two bunches of grapes and eating them with gusto: "Sister, I brought back the beans."

    "Why so fast?" Gao Liang looked back and saw that he had indeed brought back a basket full of fresh beans, but the person carrying the basket was not Gao Qiang but Li Junwei. The latter had a smile on his face: "My grandma picked the beans early in the morning.  Okay, she said you might want to use it, so she kept it for you. Qiangqiang said your business was very good this morning, is that true? "

    Gao Shan, who was sitting on a small bench peeling garlic, replied crisply and loudly: "How can it be false? Of course it is true!" His tone was full of pride.

    Li Junwei glared at her: "Little Pepper, who asked you?" Little Pepper was Junwei's nickname for Gao Shan. Gao Shan had a particularly cheerful and aggressive temperament.

    Gao Shan stuck out her tongue at Li Junwei and made a face, and replied rudely: "Junwei is a good eater!"

    Li Junwei was exposed by Gao Shan. He raised his right index finger and waved with the middle finger, threatening: "Next time you dare to call me that, I will gouge you."

    "I'm not afraid!" Gao Shan smiled and didn't take it seriously. Junwei never hit anyone, he only threatened people verbally, so no children in this area were afraid of him, but they all liked him. He would  Let¡¯s show everyone cartoons. He also has many comics and novels. As long as you take good care of the books, he will lend them to you.  So even though he is not as popular as his brother, he is still quite popular.

    Gao Liang heard them bickering and felt that the gloom in the family was gradually fading away. The younger brothers and sisters also began to return to their previous personalities, and their mood became brighter. She added: "It's not bad, there are a lot of people buying."

    "That's good." Li Junwei put the basket down, found a bench and sat down to help select beans spontaneously. The beans had not been sprayed with pesticides and had a lot of insect holes. All the parts that had been eaten by the insects needed to be removed.  Gao Liang doesn't mind having bug eyes, this is the real green food.

    Gao Liang saw that he had already begun to select the beans and said quickly: "Wait a minute, they haven't been weighed yet."

    Li Junwei said: "What are you weighing? My grandma said she couldn't sell it anyway, so she made two jars of pickled beans at home. We can't eat them ourselves, so it would be a pity to throw them away. It's just a cold dish for you."

    "That won't work. I don't want to eat it myself, I want to sell it for money, so the money for the beans must be given to you. Otherwise, I won't want it and go to the vegetable market to buy it." Gao Liang brought the scale over and used the scale hook.  Hook up the basket and weigh it.

    Seeing that she was so stubborn, Li Junwei stopped insisting. Giving her away by force would hurt someone's self-esteem. He touched his nose and said, "I'm a little envious of you. You can make money to support your family. I've grown up and I haven't made a penny."

    Gao Liang smiled and said, "Don't worry, you will earn more than us in the future. It's four and a half pounds in total. I'll tell grandma later." Who is willing to bear a burden that is not consistent with his age?  Everyone wants to be a child who is pampered and protected by his parents, but not everyone is so lucky. Children of poor people have to take charge early.  Putting down the scale beam, Gao Liang also started to choose beans.  Gao Qiang ate a few grapes and put the rest in a bowl for his sisters to eat. He came over to help choose beans.

    Gao Liang picked a few beans and began to doze off. His head moved like a chicken pecking at rice. Li Junwei looked a little funny, but also couldn't help feeling a little sad. He asked Gao Qiang in a low voice: "You  What time did you get up?"

    Gao Qiang looked at the eldest sister and blinked: "It seems to be three o'clock."

    Li Junwei looked at Gao Liang, thinking that it was not easy for her to have to bear the family's life so hard when she was younger than him. He said softly to Gao Qiang: "Tell your sister to go to bed."

    Gao Qiang quickly went to shake the eldest sister¡¯s arm: ¡°Sister, don¡¯t make a choice, go to bed quickly, we can make a choice.¡±

    Gao Liang woke up with a start. She looked up and saw Li Junwei looking at her with a smile. She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand in embarrassment: "I got up too early in the morning. I'm going to take a nap." She finished choosing the beans in her hand.  , went over to look at the stewed vegetables, and said to Gao Pan: "Panpan, watch and light the fire. When it boils, turn off the stove and leave a hole. Wake me up in an hour."

    "Okay, eldest sister." Gao Pan nodded and agreed.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Braised vegetables, he said to Gao Pan: "Panpan, watch and light the fire. When it boils, turn off the stove and leave a hole. Call me up in an hour."
