Bai Mengdie didn't know anything about what Chen Ziqian did for her behind her back, and returned to the rental house with Shi Lei for lunch after school at noon.

Although the family owes a lot of foreign debts, but now that they have a lot of income every day, the foreign debts can be repaid just around the corner, Tian Chunfang will not treat the whole family harshly in terms of diet, and lunch and dinner are arranged more richly.

Today's meal was more hearty than usual, with a large plate of braised crucian carp and a bowl of nepeta meatball soup.

After Bai Mengdie washed her hands and face, she sat at the dining table and picked up a braised crucian carp with chopsticks, and asked Tian Chunfang: "Mom, these crucian carp and nepeta were brought by grandma to the eldest brother?" ”

"Nepeta is, crucian carp is not." Tian Chunfang put a plate of stir-fried braised pork head with chili peppers on her brother and sister's side.

Although Bai Mengdie doesn't like to eat things that are too fat and greasy, she eats marinated pork feet and pork head meat.

"This crucian carp was brought by your uncle as a gift to the crayfish."

She pointed to a few greens on the table with her chopsticks, "Even these greens were brought by your grandfather and your uncle."

Your grandfather said that he had to deliver to our family every day anyway, and it was convenient to bring a few catties of vegetables.

And when fishing crayfish, we can always catch crucian carp and other river fresh, and by the way, we can bring two catties to our family, make up a dish, and save money to buy. ”

"Grandpa has a heart." Bai Mengdie carefully ate the braised crucian carp.

Crucian carp has a lot of spines and can easily get stuck in the throat.

Bai Mengdie thought that the village where Tian Chunping lived was much farther away from the town than Baijia Village, and it was not easy to carry a large load of crayfish and give them vegetables and fish to their family.

After she finished eating a braised crucian carp, she sandwiched another one, and said to Tian Chunfang: "Mom, your cooking skills are getting better and better, this braised crucian carp is really delicious!" ”

Tian Chunfang smiled happily: "Then you eat more, the water in our countryside is not polluted, and it is wild, and this fish is much fresher than the fish in the city." ”

Then he pointed to the nepeta meatball soup with chopsticks: "You can also drink some of this soup, this time your grandmother asked your eldest brother to bring a few catties of nepeta, I put a lot of this soup in it, which can make you eat it to your heart's content." ”

When Bai Mengdie heard this, she scooped a few spoonfuls of nepeta meatball soup in a bowl, and the green nepeta was still so fragrant and pleasant, and this meatball was a little unsatisfactory.

Bai Mengdie took the opportunity to instruct her on how to make the meatballs in the soup so that they were delicious.

It is best to choose lean meat, and when adjusting the filling, eggs and minced fish should be added to it, so that the meatballs in the soup will be chewy and chewy.

Bai Aiguo waited for her mother and daughter to finish exchanging cooking skills, and then said to Bai Mengdie, "Fluttershy, I've inquired about the second-hand minivan and the vermicelli machine.

A seventy or eighty percent new second-hand minivan can be bought for almost 20,000 yuan.

Vermicelli machines are sold in our Jiangcheng, but I heard that the vermicelli machines in the next province are cheaper than our local ones. ”

Bai Mengdie blurted out: "Free shipping?" ”

The family of three all stared at her with pouting eyes.

Bai Mengdie suddenly woke up to the fact that he had become accustomed to buying things in a certain east in his previous life, so as long as he bought things from other places, his first reaction was whether or not he would have free shipping.

"I mean...... Who pays for the freight? ”

Bai Aiguo said: "As far as I can inquire about the situation at present, is the manufacturer shipping cost?" But I think there are still drawbacks? You can't pick up the goods yourself.

In case the quality of the vermicelli machine bought back is not good, it is estimated that the replacement can make people crazy? I still suggest buying it in our Jiangcheng? A little more expensive, a little more expensive. ”

Tian Chunfang wanted to save money and asked: "Can't you go to other manufacturers to pick up goods by yourself?" ”

Bai Aiguo smiled: "I'm going to pick up the goods myself?" People don't pay for my travel expenses, and the travel expenses add accommodation fees? It's going to have to be hundreds.

Plus the money to buy goods? It's about the same as the price of our vermicelli machine in Jiangcheng, so it's better to buy it on the spot, save trouble, and don't delay the family's business. ”

Bai Mengdie asked, "How much does a vermicelli machine cost?" ”

"More than five thousand."

Bai Mengdie calculated: "An acre of sweet potatoes is processed into vermicelli? Can you make more than 3,000 nets? The money of a vermicelli machine is also the profit of processing two acres of sweet potatoes into vermicelli.

We and my grandfather's house planted three acres of sweet potatoes, and we bought a vermicelli machine to process all the three acres of sweet potatoes into vermicelli and sell them, which not only allowed us to return to our original cost but also earned more than 3,000 yuan.

Next year, if you reprocess the vermicelli and sell it, it will be a net profit, and I think it will be quite cost-effective."

Bai Aiguo nodded in agreement: "Then I think it will be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to take time to take a look at the goods in person?" Send the vermicelli machine directly to your grandfather. ”

Tian Chunfang agreed: "I bought it early and sold the processed vermicelli early, which was a matter of concern earlier." ”

Bai Aiguo took two mouthfuls of rice in his mouth? Thinking about it, he said to Bai Mengdie: "Since you bought a vermicelli machine, you have to use it as a hen that lays eggs to make money."

Didn't you just give us and your grandfather's sweet potatoes and process them into vermicelli and sell them? You can also process your second uncle and your grandparents' sweet potatoes into vermicelli and sell them, so that they can make more money. ”

Bai Mengdie was not thoughtful before? Educated by old men and old ladies? Experience teaches? She knew how to deal with similar problems.

"Dad, it costs more than 5,000 yuan to buy a vermicelli machine, and then you have to spend 20,000 yuan to buy a small truck, otherwise how can the produced vermicelli be transported to the city to sell?

Dad also has to spend money to learn to drive, this investment is not small, grandpa belongs to our big house, we process sweet potatoes for ourselves and sell flour must be free, but to the second uncle's family or my grandfather they have to charge money for processing vermicelli.

Don't overcharge, wait for the vermicelli machine to buy back, make a comprehensive calculation, small profit to these close relatives processing, processing to outsiders according to the normal market price processing fees.

If these close relatives are worried about the market, we buy them at a high price, and I will sell them.

But outsiders don't buy it for the time being, I still have to go to school, I don't have so much energy to sell noodles, and my dad still has to take care of the family's business, and I can't be separated.

However, even if you charge a processing fee, I think the monthly income should be good.

Our other vermicelli workshop processing fees are very high, and the price of our family is reasonable, and there will definitely be many people who send their own sweet potatoes for processing. ”

Tian Chunfang frowned and said: "I'm afraid that those vermicelli workshops will see our family processing vermicelli to make money, and they will also reduce the price and rob our business." ”

Bai Mengdie shook her chopsticks: "Don't worry about this mother, our family didn't kill customers from the beginning, word of mouth has been made, and people will definitely choose our family under the premise of the same price." ”

Tian Chunfang saw that what she said made sense, so she didn't say anything.

Bai Mengdie thought for a while, and then said: "Dad, don't be in a hurry to buy a vermicelli machine, the vermicelli machine can be processed after buying it."

But Dad didn't learn how to drive, and even with a vermicelli machine and a pickup truck, we couldn't transport the processed vermicelli to the city to sell.

So this vermicelli maker will be bought after Dad learns to drive. ”

Bai Aiguo nodded: "That's okay, then I'll learn to drive from tomorrow." ”

After eating, Tian Chunfang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and the Bai Mengdie brothers and sisters prepared to go out to school.

Tian Chunfang stopped Bai Mengdie: "There are still several catties of nepeta, I'm afraid that it won't taste good when I'm old on this hot day, or I'll fry a big pot of scrambled eggs with nepeta for dinner, and I won't cook other dishes, do you think it's okay?" ”

She doesn't care about what Bai Aiguo's father and son eat, she eats whatever she has at home, and there is nothing if a man is too rough.

She cares about what Bai Mengdie wants to eat, mainly because Bai Mengdie is a picky eater, and she is afraid that she will be thinner and thinner the more she is fed.

Bai Mengdie thought that if the spice of nepeta was added to dumplings and beef powder, these two snacks would definitely sell better.

However, there are only a few catties of nepeta at home, and the amount of a day is not enough, and the old lady can't supply a large number of them, and if they don't have one day a day, it will ruin the goodwill of customers, so they don't plan to implement this plan for the time being.

She thought for a few seconds and said, "A few catties of nepeta, why don't you taste the dumplings stuffed with nepeta pork at noon tomorrow." ”

Tian Chunfang agreed with a smile, and sprinkled some water on those nepeta mustards to keep them fresh, for fear that the vegetables would grow old if they lost their moisture.

Bai Mengdie asked her to wrap a little more, because Chen Ziqian also likes to eat nepeta, and she wanted to invite Chen Ziqian to come to her house to eat nepeta pork dumplings.

Tian Chunfang naturally agreed.

Shi Lei didn't want Chen Ziqian to come to his house to eat dumplings, but when he thought that Chen Ziqian had helped their family so much, he was embarrassed to not let him come to his house to eat dumplings because he was jealous.

After school at noon the next day, Bai Mengdie told Chen Ziqian to invite him to her house to eat dumplings.

Chen Ziqian happily rode his bicycle home with his brother and sister.

Tian Chunfang saw the three children come back before cooking dumplings.

I didn't expect the dumplings stuffed with nepeta pork to be so delicious, even better than the stuffed with shepherd's cabbage.

Since Bai Mengdie's hormones were completely cleared in the body, the amount of food has not been large, and she is full after eating only one bowl of rice per small rice bowl, but this time she ate two bowls of dumplings.

Shi Lei and Chen Ziqian were more powerful, and they ate two bowls with a big bowl.

Fortunately, Tian Chunfang had long expected that the two young men would be able to eat, and packed a lot, otherwise it would almost be enough to eat.

While eating dumplings, Bai Mengdie suggested to Bai Aiguo that the old lady should plant more than ten acres of nepeta next year, and then stop farming.

Nepeta is planted and sold to her family, whether it is dumplings or steamed buns, it must be very popular.

Bai Aiguo nodded: "When I have my own small truck, it's not too late to discuss with your grandparents when I go back to the countryside to haul goods." ”

Bai Mengdie said again: "The millet spicy sold in the dry goods wholesale market is too expensive, and there are many fakes.

I want to get some millet seeds for my grandparents' family, so that they can grow some millet spicy seeds and sell them to our family, so that we don't have to buy them outside, and we can also increase my grandfather's income. ”

Tian Chunfang knew that Bai Mengdie did this to have a bowl of water, and she took care of her grandparents and grandparents, and she was very grateful to her.

Bai Aiguo took a bite of dumplings: "Your idea is good, growing millet is more spicy than growing rice to make money, but this kind of seed is not easy to buy." ”

Although it is 1998, the information is still not as good as Bai Mengdie's later generations, and it is really difficult to buy authentic Yungui millet spicy.

Chen Ziqian swallowed the dumplings in his mouth, patted his chest and said, "Leave this matter to me, I have a way to buy authentic millet spicy from the farmers of Yungui." ”

Bai Mengdie's family was very happy, and the big problem for their family was so easy for Chen Ziqian to solve.

Bai Mengdie's bowl is small and eats less than others, so he was the first to put down his chopsticks and sit aside and drink tea.

Tian Chunfang suddenly remembered something and asked Bai Mengdie, "Fluttershy, have you been to Pengcheng Garden to see the house?" ”

Bai Mengdie was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Well, how did Mom know?" ”

When he said this, his eyes couldn't help but look at Shi Lei.

Shi Lei shook his head: "I didn't betray you, don't look at me like this." ”

"It's none of your brother's business." Tian Chunfang said: "It was I who received a call from a staff member named Xu Lulu in the sales department, asking if I had time to visit the house this weekend.

I thought it was a scammer and hung up the phone, but they called again and said that you had gone to their place to see the house, so I asked you. ”

Bai Aiguo asked incomprehensibly, "Fluttershy, why do you suddenly want to buy a house?" Our family now has so many houses, what do we need a house for? ”

Bai Mengdie didn't expect Xu Lulu's call to be answered by Tian Chunfang.

She has been thinking about how to tell Bai Aiguo and his wife that she wants to buy a house in Pengcheng Garden, and now she doesn't have to rack her brains, but it is a difficult problem to convince them.

It is said that when there is no way out, people's potential will explode, and Bai Mengdie suddenly has a statement to his heart.

She put down the water glass in her hand and looked at Bai Aiguo and his wife very seriously: "That's the case, once I saw a few well-dressed middle-aged men pointing at our community at the gate of the community, saying that they would buy our community, and then develop a real estate with an elevator and sell it at a high price."

I think, I'm afraid we won't be able to live in this family area for long, although the developer will give back the house, but who knows where the compensation will be?

Our family's food stall business and braised vegetable business are all here, and it is inconvenient to move too far to do business.

Pengcheng Garden is next to Qinyuan Road, so it will be more convenient to buy a house and do business there. ”

Seeing that everyone was listening carefully, she continued: "Taking advantage of the fact that no one knows about this news now, our family will take action first and buy a house in Pengcheng Garden.

When the country was demolished, some people did not want to build houses, so they bought houses on the spot with the demolition money, which raised the housing prices, so they had to pay more. ”

Tian Chunfang disagreed: "Who can guarantee that your news is reliable, if it is not reliable, we borrow money to buy a house, isn't this another debt, the key is that we can't borrow so much money." ”

Chen Ziqian thought to himself that his chance had come: "Auntie, I can guarantee that the news that Fluttershy overheard is true.

I've also heard my dad say that the old dormitory of the National Cotton Factory must be demolished within two years, so it is necessary to buy a house in advance now. ”

He ate a dumpling, and then said: "Auntie don't worry about money, just borrow from me, anyway, your house will be demolished within two years, and then it will be a demolition subsidy and a house, and I'm afraid you won't be able to pay back my money?" ”

Tian Chunfang and his wife looked at each other.

Bai Aiguo smiled and said to Chen Ziqian: "Buying a house is a big deal, let's think about it." ”

Chen Ziqian nodded understandingly, lowered his head and continued to eat dumplings.

Eat and drink enough, and the three children go to school together.

When she arrived at the door of the classroom, Bai Mengdie stopped and asked Chen Ziqian in a low voice: "Did you really hear your father say that our old community must be demolished within two years?" ”

"Really, can I lie to my aunt about this kind of big thing?" Chen Ziqian said with a straight face.

Bai Mengdie nodded, and the two entered the classroom.
