Chapter 004. Talk about buying and selling
The three of them took turns to be busy for most of the day, and in the middle, Aunt Li insisted on stuffing Xia Yuquan's big mouth of green onion cakes, which were filled with green onion and mixed with bacon, which tasted particularly salty and chewy, and made porridge with white steamed buns for Liu Yutong, who had woken up once.
When the shrimp paste was pounded, they took the sterilized gauze and sealed the jar with the shrimp paste with a rope. In this season, when the sun is high, they only need to put the shrimp paste in the sun to ferment naturally, and then turn it over once a day, about half a month, they can harvest the deep red, fresh and fragrant shrimp paste that goes well with rice.
"I said you two are hungry." This woman, who looked stout but was actually as careful as a hair, was scrubbing Liu Yutong's body while facing Xia Yuquan and said, "The people of the old Liu family are not things, even if you can't get away from them for a while, you have to find a way to stand up!" ”
"Aunt Li, do you know when the uncle is going to meet with Secretary Sun?" Xia Yuquan was silent for a while, and suddenly asked in a low voice.
Aunt Li and Granny Lai glanced at each other, although they scolded and scolded, but the old Liu family still had a relationship with the top after all, and the matter of this land package had basically been negotiated, that is, Secretary Sun wanted to be cautious.
What's more, if they meet officials with ordinary heads, if they really want to do it, where can they please it?
But if you want to take the opportunity to get a little benefit for Xia Yuquan, it is not that there is no room for maneuver.
"I heard it the day after tomorrow." Granny Lai thought about it carefully and said to Xia Yuquan, "But I can't inquire about the specific details." ”
She and Mrs. Jin have never dealt with each other since they were young, and they have never been less involved in fighting for her husband and things in the field and her own children. When you get old, it will be even more needle-pointed, and there will never be a time to converge.
"Secretary Sun plans to find someone from the Land Bureau to inspect together, and I remember that I will go to see the place first tomorrow." Aunt Li'er was a little more informed than Granny Lai, and said quickly, "Today, Aunt Wang also went to my stall to cut meat, saying that a few distinguished guests will come tomorrow, and it is estimated that it is." ”
Aunt Wang is Secretary Sun's wife, and she has a good relationship with Aunt Li, and at first she would often come out and walk around to care about everyone, but after feeling everyone's discomfort, she rarely walked around the village after a long time. However, I don't like Mrs. Jin's snobbery.
If it weren't for the fact that this land parcel was really useful for Secretary Sun's promotion, I'm afraid that Aunt Wang would blow the pillow in private, so don't get it!
Xia Yuquan heard Aunt Li'er's words, and immediately believed this judgment in his heart. It's no wonder that Jin Jiaojiao will be so easily bluffed by herself today, it turns out that the time is too urgent, in case she and Liu Yutong are injured, when Secretary Sun asks, it will be too difficult to answer.
After all, she still has gauze wrapped around her head!
"Xiaoquan, in case your sister-in-law still wants to make trouble for you, why don't you find an excuse to avoid it for the past two days?" Granny Lai didn't think as much as Aunt Li, she just felt that with Xia Yuquan's embarrassing status, if Secretary Sun thought too much and finally ruined the affairs of the old Liu family, she might have to suffer a lot.
"It's okay, I'm sure I'll be fine." Xia Yuquan was very grateful for Granny Lai's kindness, but she was still thinking about doing something with Secretary Sun's hand, and she must find a way to stay at home tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
"That's right! Lao Xia's house, why can't she stay by herself? Aunt Li finally glanced at Xia Yuquan at this time, nodded vigorously, and said to Granny Lai, who was full of sorrow, "Don't worry, if your good sister-in-law dares to make trouble, I will live nearby!" I'm sure I'll help you choke with her! ”
Xia Yuquan listened to Aunt Li'er's heartwarming words, and although he tried his best to stay calm, his eyes still quietly turned red.
She sniffed hard, stirred the shrimp paste in her hand, and said seriously to these two women who had helped her a lot in her previous life and in this life,
"Granny Lai, Aunt Li, what do you two think of us taking shrimp paste to the city to find a place to sell it on consignment?"
At this time, in fact, the economic capacity of the general environment has been much better, Yuncheng is rich in products, trading is prevalent, in fact, the consumption power in the city is still very good. If it weren't for the fact that Baiyu Village was relatively closed and there were not many people going out, it is estimated that it would have benefited a wave.
Granny Lai has never been to the city a few times in her life, and things in the city are indeed good and cheap, but except for the occasional Aunt Li to help buy things, which means that there is a lot of work at home, she doesn't have much time to go out.
Hearing Xia Yuquan's words at this time, although she was a little moved, she was not familiar with this piece after all, so she was a little hesitant.
However, Aunt Li is very interested in Xia Yuquan's proposal, her family sells pork, and her economic ability is relatively better, and she has indeed seen many people come out to set up stalls to sell things they make.
And shrimp paste is not easy to make, you also need patience, the taste of each shot is different, and the good luck is much worse, so I really haven't seen anyone take it out and sell it.
"Koizumi, I think your idea is very good!" Aunt Li grabbed Xia Yuquan's arm, and her already big eyes widened, "There is a small space next to our stall, just enough to set up a table to sell things!" Do you have any other ideas? Speak it all out and listen to it! ”
sighed in his heart, the Xia family is worthy of studying, even if this child doesn't go to school much, his brain is still as flexible. They have been making their own sauce all their lives, at most, they are changing their neighbors left and right, why didn't they think of going into the city to sell it?
Xia Yuquan didn't expect that he had just proposed it two years ago, but this Aunt Li not only didn't think she was whimsical, but even quite supportive.
Since this is the case, she no longer hesitates, and simply says the things in her impression,
"I remember Granny Lai is very good at pickling radishes, right? It's sour and crunchy, and it's not easy to break, but it's actually a good thing to sell. Then Aunt Li's pickles are also delicious, even if they are stir-fried with minced meat, they are very fragrant, and they can be sold as a commodity. ”
Xia Yuquan picks all the things that everyone is very routine, it is not difficult to obtain, and they are all good at it. One person is the same, plus she makes her own shrimp paste, which happens to be completely non-conflicting, and the raw materials are overlapping, and if you want to buy it later, you can go together, and you can negotiate the price.
Aunt Li'er has a faster brain than Granny Lai, and she is a shrewd person. As soon as he heard Xia Yuquan say this, he immediately forgot it. A smile of appreciation slipped through her eyes, and it didn't break her careful thoughts, and she said approvingly,
"That's great, this kind of thing isn't complicated for me at all, and it's fast to do!"
Granny Lai nodded in agreement when she saw Aunt Li, why didn't she know that there was a benefit here? What's more, her eldest grandson loves to eat this, and her daughter-in-law is pregnant again, and it's just a good time to take this bite.
hurriedly agreed, and his attitude was much more positive than that of the two.
Aunt Li saw that Granny Lai's side was also clear, and immediately said quite actively,
"So be it! I'll go to the field tomorrow to help Aunt Lai pick radishes and peel them! Just let my youngest son make the dishes, and I'll boil more salt in the past two days, Xiaoquan, you will rest at home for two days first, and think about how we are going to sell this thing? ”
As soon as Xia Yuquan heard it, she knew that she was recovering from a serious illness, and she was also preparing to fight a tough battle with the old Liu family.
She didn't refuse, nodded gratefully to this woman, and was even more determined that she must take this opportunity to fight those people with the best ideas. Even if you can't get out of it in one go, it's probably not too much of a problem to find a way to get through that alone.
This Secretary Sun is a person who pays special attention to family relationships, as long as he finds a way to leave an impression on him, the old Liu family will not want to benefit from himself again in the future.
