Chapter 45: Doing Business Together
When the brother and sister returned home from the town, they discussed with their grandfather about building a simple oven. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Grandpa, let's build a simple oven in the kitchen, Xiao Yun wants to build an oven to roast dried bananas." The last time I built the house, the kitchen was doubled according to Yang Yun's request, and now there are multiple ovens of about one meter in the kitchen, and there is more space.
"The bananas are good, why do you want to bake them, there are a lot of bananas on the mountain, if you want to eat them, you can cut some and eat them, and you have to toss these to do something."
"Grandpa, bananas still have to be eaten in autumn, but they won't be there in winter, Xiao Yun wants to bake bananas like dry cakes, not only can they be stored for a long time, but when people buy New Year's goods in winter, our family can also make some money."
"The banana is edible, you have to dry it, and if it goes bad, isn't it a waste?"
"No, bananas are not baked over the fire, they are roasted, baked until they are half dry, and then they are taken outside to be dried or dried in a ventilated room. Bananas can be stored for at least a few months when baked into dry cakes. Grandpa helped Xiao Yun build an oven, and Xiao Yun ordered the iron sheets and iron nets to install the oven. ”
"You girl, you're making your own decisions again. How much did the iron sheet and iron mesh buy. Yang Yun raised two fingers to her grandfather.
"Two hundred dollars?"
"Grandpa is two taels of silver."
"What, you girl spent two taels of silver at once, you kid is too bold, why did your grandmother give you so much money at once, I have to talk about your grandma when I go back." In fact, after selling fried snails last time, grandma handed over all the money in the family to Yang Yun, because grandpa never cared about the family's expenses, so he didn't know about grandma handing over the money to Yang Yun.
"Grandpa, Xiao Yun spends so much money to make an oven, just to make dried bananas and sell them for money, and isn't this all to make money to buy land for our family, and if the money is spent, it will naturally be able to earn it back, don't be angry, let's make dried bananas this time, and make a lot of money at the end of the year."
"Alas! Now that you've got the iron pieces and the iron mesh ready, build a barbecue. Yang Yun never forgot the dream of buying land, isn't it also the wish of her grandfather!
"Grandpa, what do you do to make bananas, Xiao Yun also wants Uncle Li's family to participate, Uncle Li said that the river in the back mountain is full of bananas, only they, the hunters, can go far away, and they can't make a forest alone, and the two families support each other It's good for everyone."
"Okay, just ask you Uncle Li and them to help together, what kind of oven do you want to build?"
"Grandpa just built a simple one, the fire can be burned below, and two iron pieces can be pressed on the top, and the distance between the top and bottom of the two iron pieces is one palm's width." Within about ten centimeters, Yang Yun took a small stick and drew a very simple oven shape for his grandfather on the ground, and his grandfather understood after looking at it for a while.
"This is simple, grandpa and your Uncle Li can be built, and after a while, see if your Uncle Li is free, just live mud to build, and you don't have to look at the days."
"Grandpa, I want to buy some bricks to build back, if the mud wall is too hot, the soil of the wall will become brittle, so Xiao Yun of the inner layer of the stove wants to buy this brick to build."
"Bricks are expensive, just use mud walls." Grandpa knew that bricks were expensive, so he was reluctant to build an oven out of bricks.
"Grandpa, let's build a stronger one, if it burns out in a short time, the gain outweighs the loss. Although the bricks are a little expensive, how many bricks can be used in our simple oven. ”
"Okay, just do what you said, ask your Uncle Li to go to the town tomorrow to buy some bricks and come back."
"Grandpa, if you and Uncle Li go to buy bricks, help Xiao Yun buy some big jars and come back, or big vats, bananas are all raw when they are chopped, and they will be stuffed for a few days to be fully ripe."
"Well, you see what is missing, grandpa bought it for you."
"Grandpa doesn't need it, you don't need to buy anything else, by the way, grandpa, do you have more mats, when the time comes, you need to use mats to dry bananas, and if you have a lot of Xiaoyun, you can take it to the river to clean it first, and you can use it for drying."
"In the past few days, I have just made up four new mats, you can use them all."
"Okay, grandpa told you something, grandma has already handed over the family's money to Xiao Yun for safekeeping, don't be angry with grandma. Xiao Yun won't spend money indiscriminately, what should be used and what shouldn't be used, Xiao Yun understands that Xiao Yun still wants to save money to buy land. "Grandma handed over the money to Yang Yun for safekeeping, and confessed directly to grandpa.
"Okay, your grandmother handed over the money to you for safekeeping, and I will keep it well in the future, but I can't use it indiscriminately."
"Grandpa, don't worry, Xiao Yun won't use it indiscriminately."
After discussing the construction of the stove with Yang Yun, Grandpa went to Li's house and discussed with Uncle Li about making bananas together. And Yang Yun and Yang Yong took the four mats newly made by their grandfather and took them to the river to clean.
"Brother, you see, as long as you talk to grandpa about making money and buying land, grandpa will not object." The brother and sister chatted while washing mats by the river.
"As far as you are clever, grandpa saw that you made money from the first two things you made, so he didn't object to what you did this time to make bananas. Sister, you've figured out how to sell dried bananas. ”
"The most famous dim sum shop in the town is Pinmingju, Xiao Yun thinks about selling the bananas directly to them after they are made, our family will not sell them separately, so that the people in the village will be red when they see us doing business in the town again."
"Alas! Even if we don't do business in the town, as long as the villagers know that we sell dried bananas, they will definitely talk about it again. "The Yang family and the Li family sold fried snails, Yang Yong pointed out to the villagers when he went out during that time, how hateful he was that he couldn't stop these white-eyed wolves, and his sister helped the villagers find a way to make money, and I didn't see the villagers have thanked their families, and the people in Zhoujia Village are really a group of white-eyed wolves.
In fact, Yang Yong also blamed the villagers for this, Li Zheng did not tell the villagers at that time, it was the Yang family who helped find a boss like Master Zhu to collect snails, so of course the villagers were grateful.
My sister also watched so many ripe bananas fall to the ground and rot in the back mountain, and felt that it was a pity, so she thought of baking bananas into dry cakes. Let's discuss this matter with Grandpa and Uncle Li after we go home, and see if we can talk to Li Zheng, our family picks bananas for business, if the people in the village are willing to pick and sell, everyone makes money with their own abilities, and it doesn't matter to our family if they can't make money. ”
"Maybe it's better to find Lizheng, and we'll discuss this matter when we go home." The brother and sister cleaned the mat and took it home to dry.
In fact, the people in the village have also picked bananas to sell before, but these wild bananas in Zhoujia Village are too small, although they are very sweet after ripening, but the quality is not good, the big families buy artificially planted, big and sweet bananas to eat, and the poor people can't eat enough, who will waste money to buy bananas. The people of Zhoujia Village because there are too many bananas, they don't want to eat them, so the bananas are ripe and rotten on the ground and no one picks them.
