Chapter 68: Vessels
Everyone put bags of sea buckthorn fruits on Grandpa Xiao Yun's carriage, and then called friends and began to walk back.
Everyone has helped so much, Grandpa Xiao Yun will naturally thank you all after returning to the village.
"You are the oldest person in our village, you can just tell me anything in the future, you don't need to be so polite. ”
"If the big guy has time, he often comes to the door. ”
After everyone left, Xiao Yun's grandparents and Xiao Yun and Li Dazhuang were left in the house.
Xiao Yun and Li Dazhuang carried all the sea buckthorn fruits into the house.
Grandpa Xiao Yun couldn't help but say to Xiao Yun, "What's the use of these things you want?
"Grandpa, you can rest assured, there is sugar at home, right? ”
"There's a lot of sugar in the house. Every time there is a festival in the factory, we will give some sugar, tea or rice and flour oil to our retired employees. Wife, bring it here. ”
Xiao Yun's grandmother carried several bags of sugar in her arms, came to Xiao Yun's side, and put them on the ground.
Then the old couple sat on the kang, wanting to see what Xiao Yun could toss.
Xiao Yun asked Li Dazhuang and him to put all the sea buckthorn fruits that had been picked into the pot for cleaning.
Since the skin of the sea buckthorn fruit is very thin, they are very careful when washing it.
When the cleaning was finished, Xiao Yun began to put water in the pot. And put all the sea buckthorn fruits in it and began to boil.
Li Dazhuang was arranged to keep pulling the bellows so that the fire could be kept at a certain temperature.
When the sea buckthorn fruit was almost completely juiced, Xiao Yun began to put white sugar in it.
After adding the sugar and boiling for a while, Xiao Yun took out the sea buckthorn juice and put it in a glass bottle.
At the beginning, Xiao Yun didn't make too much sea buckthorn juice, just made two large bottles, and then put them outside, using the natural temperature to make it cold.
When the sea buckthorn juice had been sitting outside for about two hours, Xiao Yun took one of the bottles back and poured it into the cup for grandpa and grandma to taste.
Since Xiao Yun's process of making sea buckthorn juice was very simple, his grandfather and grandmother took the cup of sea buckthorn juice with a frown.
"Isn't the sea buckthorn juice that comes out of this way delicious? Aren't you blind? Even if you're short of money, you can't just be a profiteer. Didn't you let the people who bought your things scold you behind your back?"
Xiao Yun felt that his grandfather's worries were completely unnecessary.
In the previous life, Xiao Yun often surfed the Internet when he was fine, and accidentally came across the practice of sea buckthorn juice.
He also used to make sea buckthorn juice for his son to drink, and the feedback he got was that it was very delicious.
"You two can taste it. If it doesn't taste good, it's not too late to criticize me. ”
Xiao Yun's grandmother was the first to taste a small bite.
After she chirped, she said, "Although the method is very simple, there is still a sweet taste in the mouth." It is completely different from eating sea buckthorn fruit. ”
"Don't look at Xiao Yun, your words like this will only hurt him. ”
Grandpa Xiao Yun thought that Grandma Xiao Yun was completely soft-hearted and wanted to encourage Xiao Yun, so he deliberately said this.
"You old man. Do you drink it yourself, when have I ever lied to someone?"
Grandpa Xiao Yun saw that Grandma Xiao Yun's attitude was very resolute, so he also tasted a small bite himself.
He tasted it carefully, and felt that it was not very difficult to drink.
"Do you really think this thing can be sold for a good price? Aren't all drinks drunk in the summer? Who would buy them in the winter?"
Xiao Yun's grandfather basically agrees that the sea buckthorn juice produced by Xiao Yun is enough for people to drink, but he still has some concerns about the sales of sea buckthorn juice.
"Grandpa, you don't know this. This sea buckthorn juice is only delicious when drunk in winter. In summer, the sea buckthorn fruit has not yet grown and is particularly prone to festering.
But the winter environment makes nature like a big refrigerator, completely encapsulating the sea buckthorn fruit in it to keep it in its freshest state. At this time, it will definitely sell well when it is made into juice. ”
"Listen to your little mouth, but you can say, I'll see how many bottles you can sell. ”
When the packaging problem was mentioned, Xiao Yun suddenly chuckled in his heart.
He had calculated everything, but he had forgotten how to package the sea buckthorn juice.
And his sea buckthorn juice has no trademark, no brand, and can only be sold along the street.
But if you really just take a big pot and scoop it spoonful by spoon to others to sell, it looks very unhygienic. Customers won't buy it, either.
Although they are in the 90s, people are still very hygienic in general. Especially for food.
Now it is no longer the old society of the thirties and forties. If you pick a burden, you can sell sour plum soup or a variety of snacks.
Even if it's simple, you have to have a package.
The best packaging is, of course, plastic bottles, but at that time there were no such conditions, so you had to choose glass bottles.
And glass bottles are not something you can have if you want to have them. Finding almost a thousand glass bottles in this small ravine is even more difficult than climbing to the sky.
People here may not be able to drink a few bottles of soda in their lifetime, so where can they find discarded glass bottles?
Xiao Yun's grandfather saw Xiao Yun's depressed expression, but he felt a little relieved.
"I advise you to go back to your father's class obediently, and stop thinking about it. It's good for young people to have ideas, but if you can't achieve something, it's a waste of time and a waste of life. Since there is already such a good girl who is willing to follow you, you can make good money, marry someone home, and then have a child, and you will be stable in this life. ”
Xiao Yun's grandmother was also helping out. She thinks Xiao Yun is a very smart person, but Xiao Yun doesn't have the business mind yet. It is not a bad thing for him to let him encounter difficulties early and retreat in the face of difficulties.
Xiao Yun sat on the only small bench in the house and began to ponder.
Now sea buckthorn juice can basically be sold. But it's not like a rock sugar gourd, which can be carried on a rock sugar gourd stick. This thing is liquid, and there must be a vessel for it.
Xiao Yun sat there like a clay sculpture, and Li Dazhuang felt that Xiao Yun really had no choice.
He was a little deflated all of a sudden. I thought that when I got to this point, the road ahead would be quite smooth. But I didn't expect to get stuck on the problem of not having a sea buckthorn juice vessel.
Suddenly, the whole room fell silent. No one spoke. Even the dogs outside the house stopped barking.
Xiao Yun's grandmother looked at Xiao Yun and sighed every once in a while, she was very worried about Xiao Yun's future.
In such an atmosphere, Xiao Yun seemed to be completely immersed in his own world, and he didn't think about him in the accident world at all.
He took a closer look at the furnishings in his grandparents' house. It was found that none of them could be used as a vessel to hold sea buckthorn juice.
"Grandparents, Li Dazhuang and I went out for a walk first to find inspiration. We were back before dark. ”
Xiao Yun's grandfather said loudly when Xiao Yun walked out of the house: "It's already past 5 o'clock now, and it's getting dark at 6 o'clock, where are you going to walk? ”
However, Xiao Yun didn't hear what his grandfather said at all, and had already pulled Li Dazhuang out of the courtyard gate.
When he walked out of Xiao Yun's grandfather and grandmother's house, Li Dazhuang couldn't help but say, "It's not me who hit you. We've done so much and we've just been busy for nothing. I thought you could really think of some kind of business that made you rich overnight. ”
"Getting rich overnight doesn't mean you can get it without any effort and dedication. Even if you want to win, you'll have to buy a lottery ticket. Not to mention doing business, where is it so simple. You have to go through the upfront investment and dedication to get a return. ”
"Don't tell me these useless truths. The problem at hand is that we can't find the right thing to hold sea buckthorn juice. Even if the sea buckthorn juice you make is delicious, it won't be useful. ”
Li Dazhuang is the kind of person who has one thing to say and two to say, and he may not mean to stab others sometimes, but what he says is really unpleasant.
Xiao Yun didn't pay attention to him, but was still thinking about ideas.
In winter, the sun sets quite quickly, and soon it gets dark.
When it gets dark, people feel cold.
Li Dazhuang saw that he was about to lose sight of the road ahead, so he said to Xiao Yun, "Let's go back." I can't think of anything to do about it this big night. When we return to Yueling City tomorrow, let's think of other ways to make money. ”
Xiao Yun was very helpless about Li Dazhuang's character.
He seems to be taking Zhu Bajie on the West Meridian Road, and when he encounters a little difficulty, he has to divide his luggage and break up.
However, Xiao Yun has not thought of a suitable way so far, so he can only follow Li Dazhuang to go back.
When Li Dazhuang came to this village for the first time, he felt a little strange and had a faint sense of fear.
But after two days, he became quite familiar with the village, and the dogs stopped barking when they saw him.
At this time, Li Dazhuang walked in front of Xiao Yun.
They had already reached the entrance of the village in just a few moments, and if they wanted to return now, it would take more than ten minutes.
Xiao Yun doesn't have any principal now. It is obviously an unrealistic idea to let him go to the glass bottle factory to buy glass bottles.
But where in the world is there anything so easy, all of them can be encountered by Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun didn't believe that this time the god of luck would favor him and let him empty the white wolf.
In these short ten minutes, Xiao Yun thought of countless ways, but they were all overturned by himself.
Later, he himself was a little discouraged.
Just as they were about to return to Xiao Yun's grandparents' house, suddenly, two children walked behind them.
One is a little boy and the other is a little girl. The two of them looked like they were seven or eight years old.
They looked flustered.
