Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 203: Setting up a stall to sell raspberries

After a while, the water in the pot began to boil.

An Yue put all the prepared shepherd's purse into the pot, blanched it, then took it out and squeezed out the water.

Finally, place the shepherd's purse on the chopping board and cut it into small pieces.

Because there were many dumplings to be made, An Yue prepared more than a dozen eggs and beat all the eggs in a bowl and stirred them evenly.

When the oil pan is slightly hot, pour 70% of the eggs in the pot into the pan, stir and fry quickly with chopsticks until the eggs are cooked and loose.

Then, spread the scrambled eggs and let them cool.

Then pour all the chopped shepherd's purse and fried eggs into the egg beating bowl, then add appropriate amount of salt, soy sauce and wild garlic leaves into the bowl and mix well.

After being mixed evenly, the filling begins to emit the unique aroma of shepherd's purse and egg filling.

An Yue said to Chunzhi who was standing under the stove: "Chunzhi, let Niannian take you to the west slope to cut some banana leaves. Oh, by the way, don't forget to carry the backpack and sickle."

"Okay, miss." Chunzhi said and walked towards the yard.

Next, An Yue will start kneading the dough.

Then, roll the dough into thin sheets. After rolling out a bunch of dough sheets, you can start making dumplings.

An Yue put the fillings in the center of the thin dough and wrapped them into wheat ear, ingot, and willow leaf shapes.

An Nian and Chun Zhi came back soon.

An Nian started washing up in the yard. Chunzhi cleaned the banana leaves in the backpack, drained the water and set them aside.

Half a quarter of an hour later, An Nian finished washing up and walked into the kitchen.

"Have you packed everything up?" An Yue asked An Nian while making dumplings.

An Nian responded with a "hmm" and walked to the stove. He pointed at the dumplings that An Yue had made and asked curiously, "Sister, what is this? It looks so delicate!"

An Yue smiled and explained to An Nian: "This is called dumplings. The inside is shepherd's purse stuffing and the outside is dough. Sister will cook dumplings for Nian Nian to try."

After hearing this, An Nian clapped his hands and cheered: "Come and pass on the firewood every year."

After saying that, he was about to walk towards the stove, but was stopped by Chunzhi who had just entered the door.

"Young Master, you have already changed your clothes. Handing over firewood will dirty your clothes. Let Chunzhi hand over the firewood!"

"Yes, yes, Chunzhi is right. Niannian, go to the yard and read a book. I'll call you when the dumplings are ready."

"Okay, I'll go right away, Nian Nian." After saying this, An Nian walked towards the yard.

Chunzhi walked to the stove and added water to the pot, then went under the stove to prepare a fire to cook dumplings.

An Yue said as she was wrapping dumplings: "Chunzhi, Niannian and I are going to town in a while. You can stay at home and cut some sweet potato vines and carry them to the wasteland. We can plant sweet potatoes on the wasteland we turned over two days ago. Is that okay?"

"Okay, okay, Chunzhi will do as the young lady says." Chunzhi replied with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, Chunzhi!" An Yue said politely.

"What are you talking about, Miss? This is what Chunzhi should do."

They both smiled and the water in the pot began to boil.

An Yue put down the work in her hands, gently poured the dumplings into the pot and started cooking.

——Half a quarter of an hour later.

When the steaming shepherd's purse and egg dumplings came out of the pot, An Yue picked up a dumpling and tasted it: "It tastes delicious, just the right amount of saltiness."

So, An Yue began to scoop out the dumplings from the pot and put them on a plate, and spread the rest out in a colander to dry.

An Yue shouted loudly: "Niannian, the dumplings are ready."

An Nian, who was sitting in the yard reciting his lessons, heard that the dumplings were cooked, so he hurried to the kitchen.

"This plate is for Niannian, and this plate is for Chunzhi." An Yue handed them two plates of dumplings.

Chunzhi took the plate from An Yue and said, "Miss, you should eat first!"

"You eat them, I'll make the rest of the dumplings."

An Yue thought about wrapping all the dumplings, cooking them all and letting them cool, and finally packing them individually with banana leaves.

A quarter of an hour passed.

At this time, it was already bright outside the yard.

An Yue had finished making all the dumplings, and Chunzhi and Annian had finished eating the dumplings on their plates.

Chunzhi went to the stove to pass firewood, while An Yue was cooking dumplings behind the stove while eating the dumplings that had been hung out to dry.

Soon, the dumplings in the pot were cooked.

She fished out the freshly-cooked dumplings, spread them out one by one in a colander, and waited for all the dumplings to cool down before packing them with banana leaves.

An Yue suddenly had the idea to send a portion to Zhang Jizhong and his wife from Jirentang to try.

So, it has to be packaged into four portions in total.

After An Yue finished cooking the dumplings, she said to Chunzhi, "Chunzhi, use a fan to fan them. This way, they will cool down faster."

Chunzhi immediately did as she was told.

An Yue went back to her room to change clothes. As long as the dumplings were cooled and packed, they could set off for the town.

At this time, the morning light was just breaking.

An Yue had changed her clothes and was about to get the backpack. She saw that there were still a lot of raspberries in the basket.

She thought that there was nothing else to do in town today except delivering dumplings.

So she put the four packed dumplings in the backpack first, and then put the raspberries on top.

When everything is ready, start going out.

An Yue walked out of the gate and turned to Chunzhi, saying, "Chunzhi, don't forget to feed the silkworms with mulberry leaves."

Chunzhi waved to Anyue: "Miss, Chunzhi will remember it!"

The brother and sister then walked towards the main road.

Just as they reached the main road, Li Wu's ox cart came with two villagers, and the brother and sister were able to sit on the cart.

After a while, we arrived at the entrance of the town.

The brother and sister got off Li Wu's ox cart and walked west along the street.

An Nian walked straight towards the school at the west entrance of the town.

An Yue chose to send them to Jirentang first. She walked into the shop, handed the dumplings to the lady, said a few simple words, and without staying for too long, said goodbye and walked out of the shop.

Then she prepared to go directly to the firecracker shop.

After a while, she arrived at the firecracker shop.

An Yue handed all three portions to Lin Qingxue and his wife, briefly explained who each portion of dumplings was for, and then said goodbye to them.

An Yue carried the backpack and left the firecracker shop.

Along the way, she thought as she walked that if no one was interested in buying her products, she would use her eloquence to shout and sell them.

Soon, she came to the main street alone. Because she arrived late, she finally found a place with more people.

So she asked the vendor couple next to her, "Auntie, is there anyone next to you?"

The woman smiled and said to An Yue: "Miss, there is no one here, you can set up a stall here!"

"That's fine. Thank you, Auntie. I'll sit next to you."

An Yue gently placed the backpack on the ground, took out a large piece of banana leaf from the basket and spread it flat on the ground, then picked up a portion of wrapped raspberries, unwrapped them and piled them on the banana leaf, and placed the bright red raspberries in front of her.

The old woman looked at what An Yue was selling. She had never seen it before, so she asked curiously:
