Chapter Twenty-Three: The First Pot of Gold
After the New Year, Yan Yan made the dishes and let the Yang family sell them, Yan Qingshan was not worried about going with him, but Li Laosan wanted to go to the dock to work, so he agreed to take care of it, and Yan Qingshan had to do everything at home, Yan Shaojie went to school, and Yan Yan was responsible for the affairs of the family.
The potatoes were pulled out, Yan Qingshan hurriedly borrowed a cow to wash the ground and plant seedlings, the Yang family went to sell vegetables early in the morning, Yan Yan cleaned up the potatoes at home, and when it was time for lunch, the Yang family had not come back Yan Qingshan was a little anxious, "Why hasn't your mother come back yet?" Yan Qingshan couldn't sit still, "I'll go to the entrance of the village to take a look," and before he finished speaking, he went to the courtyard.
"Why is it so late?" Yan Qingshan saw the Yang family at the gate of the courtyard, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the things, "How is it sold?" ”
Yan Yan was also a little anxious, not knowing if the people here liked to eat or not, "Let's talk about it first." ”
"The business is good, it was sold out at once," Yang said with a smile on his saliva, and took out the money bag to count, "There are two hundred dollars here, and I also bought pig water and chicken feet and duck necks." "The Yang family is happy, their family will also make money.
"So much?" Yan Qingshan didn't expect that a day's salary would be worth his salary, and he was more surprised than excited. Yan Shaojie came back in the evening and was very happy to hear that the business was so good, but he felt that he didn't help much, but everyone was still excited to prepare tomorrow's dishes.
Because Yan Shaojie went to school in the next village, he had to bring lunch and send Yang to the school in the morning. It's still early spring, and the people at the dock eat some hot dishes after finishing their work, with some meat and spicy taste, which tastes in one word: cool! The key is that it is cheap, and steamed buns also cost a penny, and many people are willing to eat a good meal for two pennies.
Chicken feet and duck necks are all cooked to a crispy point, and even the bones can be eaten when chopped, because there are other people who buy them home to eat, so Yan Yan asked the Yang family to sell them for a penny a chicken foot and a duck neck for two pennies, so that they can go home and eat it again, or they can buy it directly for children to eat as snacks. In addition to the marinated duck neck and braised chicken feet, there are also pickled phoenix feet, Yan Yan himself is also addicted to his mouth, he loved to eat these in his last life, but he added too many preservatives or something to dare to eat it, and now he can't eat it himself.
In addition to the little money earned from the New Year's money, I have also made a lot of money by selling vegetables these days, "Mother, how much money do we make from selling vegetables?" Yan Yan wants to buy more land if he has money, but there is too little land at home.
"I counted it, and there are ten taels of silver!" Yang is also very happy, and it is worth the hard work.
"Daddy, I want to buy some fields, the land at home is not enough, the double cropping rice is enough to eat, but there are no other crops, we don't buy more, just buy ten acres of land to grow some food." Yan Yan wanted to grow more coarse grains, but the croppers still had to rely on the ground to eat.
"This is reasonable, I will tell the village chief tomorrow, "Yan Qingshan also thinks that it is real to buy land, and he just needs to work hard."
I invited the village chief to have a meal, and bought ten acres of wasteland for two taels of silver, all of which were close to his home, Yan Yan thought that he should be able to plant coarse grains such as sweet potatoes now. This first pot of gold was spent like this, and Yan Yan still felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
