Chapter 12: The current situation of the Fang family
There are only half of the people on the ox cart when they go back, and the people in the village generally sell things when they come to the town, so when they come, they bring the things produced in their own fields are heavier, and in a hurry, everyone spends two cents to take the ox cart.
And when I go back, everything is sold out, at most I buy some things that I need at home, most people's baskets and burdens are empty when I go back, so everyone goes back lightly, and more people will choose to walk back.
Fang Cancan did not go back to his home, but took his son to Fang Xing'an's house, the last time he bought meat was half a month ago, and he just bought meat today and brought it over, the eldest brother and sister-in-law have always been very economical, they will definitely not spend money to buy meat.
When Fang Cancan arrived at Fang's house, Fang Xing'an and Zhao Hui were not there, Fang Xueyi and Fang Lanying had just come back from outside, they went out to dig wild vegetables, they didn't want to sell them, but they ate them at home, after all, their stomachs couldn't be filled, so how could they sell these wild vegetables.
Seeing Fang Cancan, the two children smiled and said, "Auntie, you're here." ”
Fang Cancan nodded, "Why did you go out to dig wild vegetables again?" ”
Fang Xueyi's expression darkened, and a sad look appeared on Fang Lanying's face, "Two days ago, a person came over to ask for debts, and my father sold the family's grain, and now if you don't eat wild vegetables, you won't have anything to eat." ”
Fang Cancan's heart was also sour when he heard it, the Fang family has never had a bad time like this, every time someone comes to ask for a debt, they either continue to go out to borrow or sell the things at home.
Now there is still a period of time before the autumn harvest, if according to what Fang Lanying said, the grain is sold to pay off the debt, then the family is estimated to have no food at all now, and the sister-in-law and eldest brother must be very anxious in this situation.
No wonder her sister-in-law is not at home, Fang Cancan touched Fang Lanying's head and said, "What about your mother?" Where did she go? ”
Fang Lanying's eyes were red and she said, "My mother went to wash clothes for the rich family, so that she could make money." ”
Fang Xueyi's expression, which had always been gloomy, changed at this time, "My mother went with others, she went early every day, and she came back late in the evening, and she was so tired that she didn't want to eat after she came back." ”
Fang Cancan's heart was also very sad, she always thought that she could take her time and save enough money to do some small business to make money, but now it seems that this is not possible, because the reality does not allow her to take her time.
Her original plan was to find a way to make money that required a lot of people, so that the people in the village could also make money together, but in that case, she had to save enough money, otherwise she wouldn't be able to take a step at all.
Now she can't wait any longer, she can only think of some business to make some money for the time being, and change the current predicament, and her big business can only be talked about later.
Fang Xueyi looked at Fang Cancan and said: "Auntie, what we told you today, don't tell your father and mother, when they were talking in the house, my sister and I overheard it, they thought we didn't know, so aunt, don't tell them, I know, my father and mother don't want us to worry." ”
Looking at Fang Xueyi's well-behaved appearance, Fang Cancan's heart was sad for a while, his brother and sister-in-law have always put their mother and son and Fang Xueyi together, not letting her worry about it, and working hard to hold up a piece of sky for her, so that even if their mother and son do not have a father-in-law and father, they can live very well.
Fang Cancan touched his head and said, "Okay, my aunt won't tell your father, don't worry!" ”
Fang Xueyi nodded, and Fang Cancan took out the white-flour steamed buns and pork in his back basket, "Look, what did my aunt buy for you?" Be happy, don't think so much about children, there are things that adults will handle, you don't have to worry. ”
Seeing the pork and steamed buns, Fang Xueyi's eyes also showed a happy look, Fang Cancan drove the three of them aside to play, looking at the three people who had been giggling, Fang Cancan shook his head, in the end, it was a child.
Although Fang Xueyi is like an adult, he is young in the end, and he doesn't know many things, he just knows that his family has sold food, but he doesn't know that his family has no food and no money now.
Fang Cancan no longer cares about the three children, she took out the pork and prepared to cook it when her sister-in-law and eldest brother come back, and there was nothing left, seeing that there was no rice in the kitchen, only some cornmeal, she sighed and took some out and cooked it into corn paste.
Preparing meals in their hands, their minds are thinking about how to make money, there are more poor people nowadays, so their purchasing power is also limited, and if they go to earn the money of those who have it, it is impossible.
They are all countrymen, they have no money and no power, and if they accidentally attract their eyes, it is likely that they will not be able to make money and cause trouble, so they still need to focus on the poor, so no one will notice them at all.
They will also be able to make a lot of money quietly, and as for making a lot of money, it will only be realized when they have a backer.
But what can the poor buy? A pound of pork is rarely bought by the poor, and some people are close to it three or four times a year, that is also because the meat is too expensive, not that people don't like to eat meat, if it is cheaper, it is estimated that there will be more people who buy it.
The other poor people are basically self-sufficient, most of them eat from their own fields, even if it is other firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, she doesn't think she can interfere in these businesses.
After thinking about it, I decided to make some food to sell, everyone wants to eat, as long as she makes it delicious, I don't believe it will not be able to sell, but what is it to sell?
Fang Cancan's eyes stared at the pork in his hand, thinking about what he should do? At this time, people are short of oil and water in their stomachs, and if they can sell cheaper pork, then they will definitely be able to make money.
It's just that the price of this pork is high, if she wants to do this business, the price will be higher, but in this case, there is no way to do business!
After thinking about it, Fang Cancan suddenly thought that he could be a pig in the water! Although those are not serious pork, they are very delicious to make, and in her previous life, she liked to eat brine very much.
And now at this time, people are not able to deal with the sewer, so they are not afraid that someone will follow the trend, because one will not deal with the sewer, and the other will not be brine, as long as they make it themselves, then the future will definitely be better and better.
Thinking of this, Fang Cancan suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, he really thought bad before, and always felt that he had to save enough money before he could start doing anything else, but now that he thinks about it, why not start the braised meat business, and who can say that the brine business will not be bigger?
