Chapter Twenty-Four: Selling Mountain Goods
After a long walk, Chen Xin knew what to expect, and began to direct the two men to buy and buy. She won't let Brother Zhang give her money, and I'm afraid the money that Brother Zhang has on him is not enough for her to buy. Looking at the slightly embarrassed man, Chen Xin thoughtfully smiled and explained that the money she used was left by her brother-in-law, and she had taken some of it as an investment before, and the income was not bad, at least it was no problem to feed her and Zhang Zhang, plus Brother Zhang also knew about her opening a breakfast shop, so what Chen Xin said did not make the two men suspicious.
"Speaking of which, I told my eldest brother at the beginning to let him stay in the provincial capital to help me, but the eldest brother said that he was not at ease when there was only an uncle and aunt at home, and I couldn't say that the eldest brother should not care about his father, so when I came back this time, I also brought back the money left by my brother-in-law back then, and only left a quarter for Zhang Zhang to save for future study. I want my eldest brother to use the rest of the money for farming, so that I can earn more income and take care of my parents at home. ”
Listening to Chen Xin's words, the second brother-in-law nodded, this is better than what he wants to get his eldest brother to the unit. Although it seems stable in the unit, the income is very small, and it is no problem to live alone, but it is a bit stretched to support the family. The reason why he still plans to do so is that he thinks that when his eldest brother goes out, he can meet more people and have more opportunities to meet women.
But Chen Xin's consideration is also good, the family really has a money-making project, and she is not afraid that those girls will not want to marry. When the time comes, he will be able to earn money at home and support his parents, but it is not better than in the unit? It's just that Chen Xin doesn't know much about the breeding project, so he needs to go back and ask his colleagues if they are clear. In addition, their unit also has a pilot project, if the village can really find the town or county to support, he can naturally try to suggest to the leader, set up a test site in the village, and he can also have more time to come and see his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Brother Zhang didn't understand much about what the two of them said, and he was a little confused. Chen Xin was not in a hurry, but slowly crumpled and explained to Brother Zhang, there are some things that the second brother-in-law can add, and some even the second brother-in-law doesn't know much about them, and after listening to Chen Xin's words, he feels that he should charge it again.
After a little past nine o'clock, Lei Bang called and said that he had arrived at the entrance of the town, and asked Chen Xin if he had bought it here, and if he had bought it all, he would take them back together.
Having a car is naturally better than walking, and the things they bought were packed in two backpacks in bits and pieces, and Chen Xin also carried two bags in his hands.
found her aunt and asked her if she wanted to go together, and the aunt said that she had made an appointment with the others to go back together, and there were still some things that had not been bought, so let Chen Xin and them go first. Anyway, these villagers are used to walking, and they have a clear understanding of their physical strength, and they will not buy more things than they can afford.
Since they didn't need to wait for their aunt, they decisively went straight to the entrance of the town and got into Leibang's jeep.
"Old girl, I wondered if you could help me buy more cured chicken, preferably pheasant, and bacon sausage or something, I have a brother who wants to go to the northeast to see his father-in-law, and wants to take some local products here. ”
"That's no problem, the eldest brother is familiar with the situation in the village, which one has done more and done well, you can introduce it to Brother Lei." ”
Although Brother Zhang is wooden, he has lived in the village for more than 30 years, and he is very familiar with the situation, so he immediately told the two families, and then promised to go back and ask if they are selling.
In Brother Zhang's view, selling must be sold, that is, the price should be discussed, because it was not said in advance, what people prepared was for their own New Year's Holiday, and selling it now means that they should eat more simply during the New Year, and the price is too low, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to speak.
His face couldn't hide his thoughts, Lei Bang saw it at a glance, and immediately said that as long as Brother Zhang helped him ask, he would negotiate the price himself, and he would not let the fellows suffer.
Lei Bang is actually a second-generation official, but people outside don't know much. He has a deep background in his family, and because he has conflicts with others, he will be sent to this old area by his grandfather to exercise because he has made too much trouble, so he buys so many things, basically to go to the favor.
Back on the mountain, Brother Zhang really took Lei Bang's family to ask around, and collected a lot of good things, such as those old medicinal wines, as well as rare game outside, and filled a snakeskin bag.
"You're such a treasure trove here, but the road is terrible. I heard from the eldest brother of the Zhang family that you gave them an idea to go to the town to apply for funds to build roads?"
Chen Xin was kneading glutinous rice dumplings, and when she heard Lei Bang's words, she nodded: "Yes, the quality of the land and the air quality are good here, the fruits grown are delicious, and even the vegetables are full of sweetness." They either have no potential for development, or they don't know how to plan and design. The development on the mountain is naturally different from the development below, which requires professional planning advice. I'm just casually saying that if they want to succeed, they have to apply for support from the government, and then go to experts to justify the plan. ”
This process is a very mature set of procedures in later generations, but now, in this poor and remote county, this set of ideas proposed by Chen Xin is very novel and has strong operability.
Lei Bang himself is also a person who does things, although he works in the army, but he will also come into contact with a lot of matters related to the countryside in his work, even if he can't do it himself, recommend this idea to people who need it, and the other party has to receive him a great favor.
Immediately, Lei Bang and Chen Xin roughly inquired about the whole set of suggestions for the whole set of operations, and finally even asked which professionals were needed to demonstrate, which made Chen Xin's face black.
"I have an idea, if this can be done, I dare to pat my chest and promise that your brother-in-law's village will definitely become a demonstration site. Okay, I won't delay you, I'll go first, and find a time for our brothers and sisters to talk well after the next year. ”
Well, that's a brother-sister relationship...... Chen Xin also has a groove but no mouth.
"Hey, wait, in a few minutes, I'll make you some swan eggs, you can take them back and eat them, and you can fill your stomach when you're hungry on the way." ”
This swan egg is not a real swan egg, it is a snack that Chen Xin has eaten.
The glutinous rice flour is kneaded with water, just like making rice balls, broken into a solid garden the size of a thumb, and after kneading the circle in the palm of the hand, it is put on a plate and set aside for a while.
At the same time of kneading the dough, put a small half pot of oil in the pot, add brown sugar powder to boil, and control the oil temperature to make it at a relatively high temperature but not to burn the sugar and oil. Then carefully slide the previously kneaded dumplings into the sugar oil, and when the balls are heated and expand, they become the size of a baby's fist and are covered with melted syrup. This heat needs to be very skillful, otherwise it will take too long, and the skin will become crispy and burst, and it will not look good and not taste good. Finally, strain the sugar and oil balls with a colander, put them on the bamboo carrot plug to drain the oil slick, and then use the shaved bamboo skewers to skewer and eat.
Because the size and shape resemble a swan egg, this is obviously a glutinous rice sugar oil fruit and was given the name of a swan egg.
Lei Bang had eaten the oil pot, but this was the first time he had seen this kind of sugar and oil fruit, and he asked Chen Xin to fill more than a dozen skewers in one go, if it weren't for Chen Xin's repeated words that the cold was not delicious, he estimated that he wanted to serve it in a pot.
