"Okay. When I arrive in the imperial capital in the future, I will invite you to dinner, eat roast duck, and eat authentic Quanjude roast duck. I also want you to eat rock sugar gourd, donkey rolling, pea yellow ......"

Li Xinke said on the phone.

Yan Jia listened, and a trace of embarrassment quietly flashed in his eyes.

Those delicious foods, except for roast duck, the others, he usually doesn't eat much.

Yan Jia felt puzzled in her heart: The snacks I heard Li Xinke mention just now should be her favorite food, right?

It's just that when he was a guest at Jing Qianya's house. Didn't I hear Li Xinke say that at that time, she went to the county seat for the first time and went to Yu City?

Did she see the food on TV or in some food magazine?

However, Yan Jia quickly stopped his thoughts and said on the phone:

"Good. ”

The answer was very refreshing.

Four days later.

Li Xinke and Li Shanshan went to pick up mushrooms and went home, sat in the living room, picked out the good mushrooms, and put them in another bamboo basket. Wait until tomorrow morning, and you can go into the city with Brother Zhu Zi and them to sell mushrooms.

This summer, Li Xinke thought of a lot of ways to make money.

She said that she wanted to sell dried fish, so she really carried a bucket with Li Shanshan and walked for nearly two hours to Menglan Village near Meiling Village.

At the side of the Menglan River Reservoir, I found the boss who contracted the reservoir and bought some small fish back. I process the dried fish at home, pack them one by one in a bag, and put each bag of dried fish into a clean bucket.

I also put the dried potato chips at home, fry them in a pot, and add some condiments to make delicious potato chips.

The next morning, they took the dried fish and potato chips to the vegetable market and sold them.

In the vegetable market, some customers see the bamboo basket containing the mushrooms and ask Li Xinke how much does it cost to buy her bamboo basket?

Li Xinke thought that her grandfather would weave bamboo baskets.

That kind of small bamboo basket, my grandfather braided it, and it was quite fast.

And he said to the woman,

"Although my bamboo basket is small, the workmanship is very exquisite. My grandfather made it himself, and the bamboo he chose was excellent. If you want it, I'll sell it to you cheaper for ten dollars a piece. ”

When the woman heard this, she took the bamboo basket with the mushrooms and looked at it again and again. After thinking for a while, he took out three ten-yuan bills, handed them to Li Xinke, and said:

"I bought three of them, and when I went back, I could share them with my mother-in-law and my younger siblings. If you use this bamboo basket to buy eggs, it should be good. ”

The man standing next to the woman listened, and a trace of joy quietly crossed his eyes.

Li Xinke accepted the money and said with a smile:

"That is, it must be better to use my bamboo basket for eggs than if you use a bag. Moreover, this kind of bamboo basket is very durable, and if you buy one, you can use it for many years. ”

The woman reached out and took the basket and handed one to her man to carry. smiled and said to Li Xinke:

"Seeing that you are so young, you know that you have come to the vegetable market to do some small business and make money. You're also very happy to do business. When I get back, talk to our neighbors and let them take care of your business. ”

"Okay, thank you, Auntie. I think you and your uncle are also very upright and generous in their purchases. ”

So he took some mushrooms out of the basket and put them in the woman's basket. Said:

"If it's convenient for you, just leave me a contact information. When the time comes, I'll call you and keep in touch often. ”

Li Xinke took out a pen and a notebook from her cloth bag and handed them to the woman with both hands.

The woman took the pen and notebook, and left her home phone number for Li Xinke.

After Li Xinke went home, she really used the neighbor's phone to call the woman, Aunt Ye, several times.

After contacting for a few days, Aunt Ye called the neighbor's house and said that she wanted to find Li Xinke.

When Li Xinke went to answer the phone, she heard Aunt Ye say: "Your Uncle Ye's daughter-in-law of the factory director of their unit thinks that the bamboo basket I bought is still beautiful, and she wants to buy ten, and take it to the provincial capital to give it away." However, she has two requests, you can listen to them. ”

"Okay, Aunt Ye, you say, I remember. ”

Li Xinke said with a smile.

"The factory director's daughter-in-law said that the bamboo basket you sold her should be made smaller, almost the size of a bowl of soup. ”

"Okay, I'll go home in a moment and I'll talk to my grandfather. ”

"Besides, she thinks the dried fish and chips you sold me are still delicious. She asked you to prepare 20 catties of dried fish and 10 catties of potato chips for her, and she bought them and gave them to her men to give to customers. ”

As soon as Li Xinke heard this, the expression on his face was overjoyed, and he nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, I'll go home in a while and get ready to go." ”

Aunt Ye reminded Li Xinke on the phone:

"It's just that the daughter-in-law of the factory director also said that the food you make is delicious, but the packaging is too rough. She asked you to buy two new buckets with lids for dried fish and chips, and they were separated. It's all about loading it and bringing it to the county seat for her. ”

"Good. ”

Li Xinke happily agreed.

When I got home, I told my family the good news.

When her grandfather heard this, he couldn't stop talking. In the past, he learned carpentry and bamboo crafting in order to learn a trade.

That is, when you go to help others do work, you can earn some wages and earn a du'er yuan, which means that you can eat enough.

But later, some villagers loved to buy furniture in furniture stores, because it was easy to save trouble and look good. The number of people who asked him to help with the work gradually decreased.

Even a few years ago, some people would come to his house. Ask him to go to their house and help weave bamboo baskets and carry baskets or something. I earn twenty or thirty dollars a day, and I don't have much business.

Li Xinke's grandfather said excitedly:

"Ke Ke'er, you still have the ability, so that I, a bad old man, can sit at home and earn money. ”

"You see, you helped me sell bamboo baskets, and you gave me more than 300 yuan. ”

"If I had known that this item was rare in the city, I would have made it up and put it at home, and I would just wait for you to help me sell it......"

Li Xinke listened to her grandfather's words and couldn't help but laugh twice, "Haha."

Before, she wasn't here. Besides, if she didn't like to run out with her neighbors, she would stay at home honestly, and it would be difficult for her grandfather to sell the bamboo basket.

Li Xinke confidently told her grandfather:

"Grandpa, then from today onwards, you will weave a few more bamboo baskets and put them at home. I dare say that even if you make thirty or fifty bamboo baskets, I can sell them to you within a year. When the time comes, grandpa, just wait and count the money. ”

"Okay, I'll count the money. Count it, and leave it all for my two precious granddaughters to study......"

Li Xinke's grandfather said with a smile.

When the rest of the Li family heard this, they also felt warm in their hearts.

Li Xinke's grandfather picked up the porcelain cup placed on the wooden table and drank most of the cup of tea. He put down the teacup, took the knife, and went to the bamboo forest to choose bamboo.
