Chapter 166: Garlic Eggplant
More than 100 pairs were sold in one morning, and some were even bought for the children's engagement. Now, when the countryside is engaged, the man has to buy at least two pairs of socks for the woman.
There are even a few families whose children are only fifteen or sixteen and buy two pairs of socks to put away, regardless of whether they can be used in the future.
Later, someone from Shimiao Village came to buy socks from the city. When I learned that it was available, I hurriedly bought two pairs, even if I was reluctant to wear them.
The next day, Aunt Katsuo came and handed two roast chickens to Grandma: "Auntie, do you still have the socks you brought? I want another fifty pairs." ”
"Yes, you can find someone to bring a letter, and I'll bring it to you when I rush Zhang Ji. I also made a special trip, what kind of roast chicken to buy this year. Grandma said reproachfully and took the roast chicken.
"Aunt, don't I make money with you, be filial to your old man. Auntie, I'm about to earn my monthly salary in the past two days. "Aunt Katsuo's satisfaction.
Grandma moved the cardboard box containing the socks to the counter, "You can take as much as you want." ”
She took three handfuls of men's socks and two handfuls of women's socks. took out 50 yuan and gave it to grandma. "Aunt, this is 50 yuan. My colleagues want to see the clothes you brought them, let me ask if you can bring them a few?"
"I'll bring them the next time I go to Linshui, and you ask them what they want. Why don't I give you some and sell it yourself?" Grandma probably saw that she was quite happy to sell socks, so she suggested that she continue to sell clothes.
When Aunt Shengnan heard this, she hurriedly asked, "Auntie, do you still know someone who batches clothes, what is the price?"
"Yes, what you are wearing is what I approved, windbreaker for 12 yuan, pants for 10 yuan. Loose windbreaker 15 yuan, pants 12 yuan. This is the lowest price, and you can earn at least 5 yuan for a body. ”
After listening to Grandma's words, Aunt Katsuo happily continued: "Aunt, it's so cheap, it's much better than the finished clothes sold in department stores." You brought me 20 sets, and there are so many people looking for me to bring clothes these days, and I don't dare to agree.
Hee-hee, the real value I bought for this roast chicken, this is another 100 yuan. Auntie, if you see a suitable one in the future, you will also bring some to me, and we will do business together, so don't patronize it for us. ”
Grandma laughed at her: "It's still a partnership, just this small place, how many things can be sold, but it can't affect your work." ”
"Aunt, it's okay, the past two years have been different from before, the village-level consignment points are actually personal, and the black market is about to become public. Aunt Katsuo said nonchalantly.
"Okay, I'll go to Linshui and bring you 20 sets. ”
Yoyo secretly complained that he had it at home, and he had to go around the water, which was laborious.
The twentieth day of September in the lunar calendar is frost, and this solar term is really accurate. It's only been two days since the frost fell, and it's really cool. Overnight, sweet potato leaves, eggplant leaves, pepper leaves, winter melon leaves, and cotton leaves all withered and turned black.
The team organized the masses to plane sweet potatoes, the yield of summer sweet potatoes is lower than that of spring sweet potatoes, and the sweet potatoes contain less starch. The villages on the river beach grow few summer sweet potatoes, so no one dried them.
People pick out the rotten sweet potatoes when they are planing them, and send them to the flour mill in Zhoulou to change the vermicelli, and 10 catties of raw sweet potatoes are exchanged for one catty of vermicelli. They don't have ready-made vermicelli, so they have to wait for them to grind the sweet potatoes into flour and make them into vermicelli before cashing them out.
Each family left the sweet potatoes to dry for a day and put them in the cellar, saying that they could be put into the wheat season next year. However, Hantun grows fewer summer sweet potatoes every year, and they are all eaten in the New Year.
The peppers and eggplants were plucked from the garden, and the women labored to pluck the peppers and eggplants from the seedlings, and each family divided a large number of peppers and eggplants. Red peppers are strung with thread and hung under the eaves. There are more than a dozen long strings of red peppers hanging in that house, which is enough to eat for a year, and the red ones are very festive.
The frosted eggplant is not only dry and ugly, but it is disgusting to let grandma throw it away. Grandma said to her: "Don't you love garlic eggplant, you have eaten a good meal for a few days, and you forgot about it." ”
I love garlic eggplant, but it's made with good eggplant. "Grandma, can this dry wilted eggplant be delicious? Let's not bother with that effort, I have good eggplants in my space." ”
"You'll know when you eat it. Grandma continued to work, washed the eggplant, and cut it into several slices with a knife from the bottom of the barn, and it looked like it was still a complete one. Put it in a pot and boil it, press out the water, let it cool, spread the garlic paste and salt between the eggplant slices, and stack it neatly in a pot.
At lunch, my grandmother put a plate, chopped and mixed with sesame oil. After tasting it, the eggplant slices are strong and have a special aroma, which is two different flavors from the original garlic eggplant.
"Grandma, this garlic eggplant is also delicious, more fragrant than the original. "Yoyo grabbed this dish and ate it violently. Didi saw that she was eating deliciously, and also took a big bite, and said with a bitter face: "Sister, it's not delicious, it's not delicious without meat." ”
Hao Hao hit him: "Don't you listen to your sister for everything, hurry up and eat." Yoyo went into the kitchen and brought out a plate of roast beef and handed it to Didi. "Here, listen to my sister's meat. ”
Now that the weather is cold, the meat can be placed, and the meat has never been broken in the cupboard of Yoyo's house. It's a shame that Yoyo's house is far away from the village, and no one comes to visit the door during meals. Otherwise, I really don't dare to eat like this, let alone meat, even if I stir-fry and eat vegetables every day, I have to let the people in the village talk endlessly.
Now, people gather together to eat, holding buns and bowls, and it is clear who eats and drinks at a glance. If there is a guest in someone's house and eat something good, the neighbors can guess by smelling it.
You think about it, after moving, will your own house really return to the past, and live by eating pickles. Others say, what can Di Di do, this is the master of carnivores.
No, you have to quickly implement your plan to buy pork, so that the whole village can eat meat, so as not to show your specialness.
He only collects the meat, and the remaining pig's head and water are enough for the people in the village to eat, and the pork can be stored for a long time when the weather is cold.
The purchase of pork can generate income for the villagers, second, the profit of your own mall, third, the villagers can eat meat, and fourth, your own family can improve their lives openly. This is not only a win-win situation, but also a win-win situation.
After the frost falls, the quality of the cotton picked up again is poor, and it is a flower after the frost. The patriotic cotton handed over to the country must be a pre-frost flower, and after the frost falls and the solar term, the village should hand over the patriotic cotton.
Accountant Han Daowei calculated that the yield of seed cotton per mu of pre-frost flowers in the warehouse alone was almost 600 catties, which was 200 catties higher than the original yield of nearly 400 catties of seed cotton. The key is that there are no insects in this year's cotton, which saves a lot of effort.
When the people in the neighboring villages heard about it, they asked the people to change the cotton seeds. The cadres of each village also reported to the commune that they wanted to use cotton seeds from Hantun Village next year. 11
