Chapter 167: Roast Chicken
The old man in front of the stall asked the price and was a little hesitant.
"This chicken is indeed good, but it is too expensive, can it be cheaper?"
Mother Lin's expression was a little embarrassed, "This is a native chicken, there is no feed, and it is usually free-range, not locked up like other chickens." The taste is much better than other chickens, and it really couldn't be cheaper. ”
The old man reached out and brushed away the chicken feathers, looked at the meat underneath, and pressed it a few times.
"This meat is good, I sincerely want to buy it, do you really want to lose some money?"
Because the tuition fees that Lin Ran needed were there, although Lin Ran's mother wanted to sell it, she could only shake her head.
The family made money by pointing to these chickens and those two pigs, and if it was less, the son's tuition would not be able to make up.
The old man reached out and touched the neck of the yellow-haired chicken, sighed regretfully, and walked away.
When Shang Xia was here, guests like the old man came and went several times, but each of them was too expensive, so they didn't make a deal in the end.
Mother Lin sighed several times as she touched the chickens she had worked so hard to raise, and Shang Xia's mind flashed all the things she had seen in the afterlife, and she knew that there must be a way, but she couldn't find a practical way for a while.
Seeing that time was passing little by little, Shang Xia and his mother had already gone around shopping to buy the dishes they needed for cooking.
When the two returned, there was not a single chicken on the stall, but there were fewer and fewer people in the vegetable market.
The main people who come to the vegetable market to buy vegetables are those who come from here after work at noon, as well as some elderly people who specialize in cooking at home.
Basically, as soon as the meal arrives, they will buy the vegetables and go home.
If you come out again, it will already be afternoon, and many families have the habit of buying the evening dishes together at noon, after all, this year is still based on convenience, and they don't care so much about whether things are just bought and whether they are so fresh.
There was only one trip from the county seat to Lin Ran's house in the afternoon, so they definitely couldn't wait for the afternoon market, and they could only return in vain today.
As soon as Shang Xia told his mother about this, Shang Xiaohe said when he walked to the front of the stall: "You haven't eaten yet, my house is nearby, go over and rest, have a meal and leave." ”
"It's not good......"
Mother Lin was a little embarrassed.
In these years, the situation at everyone's family is not good, unless there is something to set up a banquet, they will not easily go to other people's houses to eat.
Shang Xia squatted down to clean up the stall for Mother Lin, and said, "There are still a few hours left before the afternoon car, and I am waiting for this time."
And there are a lot of people in our building, and when I went out, I heard a few aunts say that they wanted to buy some chicken to eat, maybe they just sold these chickens in the past, so as not to bring them back so troublesomely. ”
Although she fed chickens at Lin Ran's house last time, she didn't know how to catch chickens at all.
Now although the chickens are tied to their feet, they are still very "unyielding", as soon as she touches the chicken, she will spread her wings, and the two bound feet are still pushing down.
Seeing that the chicken paw almost scratched Shang Xia's hand, Lin Ran didn't care about anything else, squatted down to lift the rope, and the whole chicken fell upside down.
He skillfully carried several chickens into his pockets, and the pockets were drilled with small holes, and when he stuffed the chickens into them, the chickens' heads came out of the small holes to breathe.
Shang Xiaohe has been selling things in the shop for so long, and that mouth can already be said to be out of the blue.
Mother Lin couldn't stand her enthusiasm, and finally agreed to go to their house to sit together.
Shang Xiaohe had this plan when she went to buy vegetables with Shang Xia, and she was now a businessman, knowing that she was reluctant to eat out when she came out to sell chickens like this.
The things outside are expensive and you can't get enough to eat, and doing business is hard enough, and it is likely that it will cost you a lot of money to eat casually.
Not to mention that the chicken didn't sell much today, the Lin family's mother and son would definitely not eat out.
According to the daughter, the car back is so late, and the mother and son will definitely be hungry all the way.
The group of four went to Shang Xia's house, Shang Xia deliberately listened to the sound when he opened the door, and after hearing that there was no movement in Chen Yougui's house, he deliberately took advantage of his mother to take a look when his mother entertained Lin Ran's mother and son.
The master bedroom is empty, Chen Yougui is not at home!
This made Shang Xia feel relieved and in a much better mood.
Lin Ran is the person she likes, and she still doesn't want Chen Yougui to embarrass him and Mother Lin.
Mother Lin didn't feel cramped when she entered the house, but Lin Ran was a little restrained, but this restraint also came from the elders who saw the girl they loved.
"You go out and talk to them, just leave it to me here."
After speaking, Shang Xiaohe went to the kitchen to steam the rice, and then heated all the meat and vegetables that had not been touched much at noon today.
Today, in order to celebrate the good results of the Shangxia college entrance examination, she made a lot of delicious food, but Chen Yougui was so troubled that they went out without moving many things.
"Mom, do you want me to buy some more side dishes?"
Shang Xia looked at the fish and chicken on the kitchen counter and asked.
Shang Xiaohe looked at today's dishes and felt that this was too monotonous, so he nodded in agreement.
"You just go downstairs and buy it, don't go too far, it's not appropriate for people to sit there. Oh, good for the money. ”
"I know, I'll be right back"
Shang Xia turned her head to say hello to the Lin family's mother and son and went out of the door, she walked downstairs, and finally bought some vegetables.
As she walked back, she suddenly saw a deli in front of her.
"There are two meat dishes at home, so let's not buy this."
There are not many things in the delicatessen now, and most people will buy some to go home to entertain guests during the New Year's holidays, and the goods at this time are not good.
But—
"Spiced peanuts? Spiced tofu? ”
Shang Xia looked at the sign in front of the delicatessen and felt a flash of inspiration flash in his mind.
"That's right! How did I forget this stubble?! ”
In her last life, when she ran a cram school, she met a student who made roast chicken at home.
Because of her good relationship with the student, she also went to the child's house several times, and she still remembers the taste of their roast chicken, and she feels greedy when she thinks about it.
That student's grades are below average and have a chance to get into a good university, but because his grades fluctuate too much, he is very hanging.
So her family sent her to a cram school, but she didn't come to class halfway, and Shang Xia also visited her house to find out what was going on.
It was that time that the child's mother gave her a roast chicken that their family made and sold, and when she was curious, she taught her how to do it.
Shang Xia thought of the chickens that Lin Mu didn't sell today, and he had an idea in his heart.
Lin Mu's method of making up for Lin Ran's tuition is not a long-term way after all, and after breeding becomes a concentrated industry, it will completely lose its competitiveness.
But making roast chicken is different, as long as it tastes good, it is not a problem to become a century-old brand!
As soon as he thought about it, Shang Xia hurried back home with the dishes.
"What's the matter with this kid, all of a sudden, so happy?"
Shang Xiaohe smiled and spouted.
"Good thing"
Shang Xia smiled and pulled his mother into the living room with him.
"I'm cooking, what are you doing?"
Shang Xiaohe asked while wiping his hands on his apron, obviously not understanding what his daughter wanted to do.
Shang Xia gathered all the people in the house together and asked solemnly, "Auntie, have you ever thought about doing anything else?" ”
When Shang Xiaohe heard her daughter's words, her eyes flashed.
In fact, when she saw Mother Lin's situation just now, she also wanted to say this, there are many ways to make money now, and raising chickens to sell is obviously a very slow way to make money.
But because her daughter said that Lin Ran had a good face, she was afraid that saying this would make people think more, so she didn't speak.
Mother Lin sighed when she heard this.
"Of course I thought about it, over the years, the family's food and clothing have relied on those chickens and a few pigs, not to mention that it is not easy to sell, and it has been raised for a long time.
Once the price is not good, or the chicken is sick and does not grow large, it is a business that pours money out. It's just that I'm not in good health, and I don't know much technology......"
Don't be afraid if you don't have skills, as long as you want to do something else!
Shang Xia thought in her heart, her worries were similar to Shang Xiaohe's, that is, she was worried that Mother Lin was unwilling to do anything else, and saying these words would make her unhappy.
Lin Ran had known Shang Xia for so long, and when he heard her ask, he knew that she had thought of a way again.
"You've found a better way?"
Shang Xia knocked on Lin Ran and smiled, and said playfully: "Lin Ran, who knows me."
"Ahem, what's the way?"
Lin Ran was a little amused by her, and his eyes wandered slightly.
"That's right, Xia Xia, did you see somewhere recruiting?"
In Lin's mother's opinion, no matter how well-behaved and likable Shang Xia is, he is just a child who has just finished the college entrance examination, so this is the first thing that comes to mind.
Moreover, Shang Xia came back from outside and suddenly talked about it, he must have seen the news of recruitment outside just now.
Shang Xia shook his head, "It's not about recruiting, it's about making snacks!" ”
It's still 97 years old, and the variety of snacks is pitiful compared to later generations.
The most is fried melon seeds, peanuts, and beans, and there is no shadow of the tens of thousands of foods that have been eaten on the street every day in later generations.
"Snacks? This...... I won't either. ”
Shang Xiaohe also looked at his daughter and said, "This idea is good, but selling snacks also requires capital and many tools." The main thing is to know how to do it. Besides, what snacks to make? ”
Let's just say that the simple food outside looks simple, but in fact, each has its own unique secret recipe.
It's impossible for people to teach you their ability to make money in vain, right?
The two elders both expressed their incomprehension, but Lin Ran didn't speak, just looked at Shang Xia directly opposite him fixedly, with a little light wave flashing in his eyes.
He knew that Shang Xia would never say these words casually without preparation.
"I'm talking about a snack – roast chicken!"
"Huh? Chicken? "I want to talk to more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
