Chapter 11: Making money
That night, the Zhao family extravagantly lit several pine branches.
The illuminated room was bright, and huge figures swayed frequently on the walls.
Zhao Laohan sharpened the bamboo sticks in this firelight, and even Chunya went to the vegetable garden to cut two large banana leaves and dragged them back, carefully divided them into small pieces, washed them slowly, dried them with a cloth, and stacked them in the basket one by one with a smile.
Qiu Niang took the powder she was satisfied with, and what she was holding in her hand was the eggs stored at home.
I couldn't make up my mind several times.
Zhao Laohan smiled on the side, "You can do it now, what are you afraid of now?" ”
"Dad, you said this thing, if it breaks, how can it be good? The fifth girl said that she could go to the set to do it, and this was hot again...... "A person in Lisuo on weekdays has no idea at all."
After all, it's still this family, and none of these eggs can afford to waste anything else.
Zhao Laohan obviously had his own plans, he said: "I look at this thing, it is charcoal grilled, and the steamed rice cakes of other people will not spoil, and we will not touch it, but in a few hours, just get up early tomorrow." ”
"What's more, what you said, if you really go out and do it, I'm afraid that you will be learned by others the next day, which is more than worth the loss? The five girls have to figure out how easy it is to make more money...... "He thought about it very thoroughly.
"Hey!" Qiu Niang finally made up her mind.
This thing is adjusted, and soon the chicken cake is baked one by one and put into the bamboo basket.
It wasn't until late at night that the family fell asleep to the sweet smell of the chicken cake.
Qiu Niang opened her eyes several times a night, but she didn't see the dawn, and squinted again.
Finally, when she was looking forward to the dawn, she went out with a bamboo basket on her back.
There is not much to do with this satisfaction, after this thing was given to Qiu Niang, she waited in the house, and she didn't know if this chicken cake could be sold, anyway, she felt that if she sold it, it would not be better than Qiu Niang.
If it doesn't work, think of another way.
What she remembered in her heart was whether the winter melon candy could be sold at a good price.
Sugar, for two lifetimes, she has nothing to do with sugar.
In her previous life, she was an ordinary girl in the south, living with her grandfather who was a barefoot doctor for many years, and then went to school in the local area quietly, and naturally stayed in the south after graduation, and then entered the farming work.
Those days and nights were calm and warm, the house was surrounded by sugarcane forests, and after work, there were no sugarcane forests in the farm, harvesting, sugar production, alcohol factories, circular economy, ...... She can't do without any of that.
The memory of the next life is so long, she smiled and thought that she was afraid that it was because she couldn't leave these sugarcane forests, and she was also unwilling to escape.
What's more, if she leaves, does she have any other ability to let her grandparents and grandchildren live well?
Perhaps, but it wasn't what she wanted.
You can't take too many risks at will.
"Satisfied, have you eaten?" Satisfied that things are out of my mind, I don't know when the safflower comes.
Seeing her eyes dripping and looking at herself, she shook her head expressionlessly with satisfaction, "No appetite." ”
The same thin and pale, the same inconspicuous, thin as a child, Honghua snorted and walked away proudly with her chest straight.
Looking at the back of Honghua, he thought with satisfaction: Are they going to make a move? There was no other moth, and the last time he poked it in front of everyone, Hu Bushou estimated that he would still make something out in front of everyone.
Do you talk about the poison you've been exposed to before? Let Honghua come over to investigate?
Then come on, she is at least half the master of the Chen family, if she wants to say that she didn't care about this identity at all before, then now, since she knows that these people in Nangan Village need to rely on these sugarcanes to live, she has to fight with them.
What's more, she has been locked up for so many years for no reason, no matter what, she has no reason to retreat.
Just as he was thinking like this, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps.
Then, Qiu Niang ran in with a bamboo basket on her back with a red face.
Looking at the sky with satisfaction, but it was only the last day, and I understood that the chicken cake could be sold, and the corners of my mouth curled.
"Auntie, you rest, where is it so urgent." Satisfied poured her a bowl of water.
Qiu Niang was not polite, took it and drank it all with a grunt, and wiped the corners of her mouth with her cuffs, "Satisfied!" Do you guess that thing was sold? ”
Satisfied, he smiled and blinked, "What my aunt said, I will come back at this time, and I have the heart to guess, how can I not sell it?" ”
Qiu Niang also felt funny, excited and said quickly, "I haven't done business for many years, people are confused, you don't know, no one has seen this chicken cake, as soon as it is released, someone is lucky to buy it, I use a bamboo skewer to wear it, the big two sell for a penny, the small one is three or four, someone bought a big bag at once, tsk, the sugar mill has just stopped, many people are not short of money to spend." ”
Hearing this, she sighed with envy and listened quietly with satisfaction.
"Auntie, didn't you bring the stove?" looked at Qiu Niang's appearance, but as soon as she came back, she came to her side.
Qiu Niang put down the bamboo basket, wiped her sweat, and explained while taking something out of it, "This is what you bought after you explained that it was sold, and I bought some more, which was discussed with the child's father last night. ”
With a hint of the shrewdness of a small businessman.
I was a little surprised to be satisfied, but I didn't think of this, I just wanted to make a fresh.
"It's still a good aunt, that's how it should be."
Qiu Niang didn't blame her for making her own assertion when she saw that she was satisfied, and she couldn't stop talking, "Satisfied, I've counted our things, there are no ten eggs in total, plus those powders, and there is less oil or anything, and I got a total of sixty-seven yuan!" It's only been a day, and a lot of people are still waiting to buy ......."
Satisfaction can understand her mood, this money is not much, but as long as you think about Zhao Laohan and others, you can only get five cents to carry sugarcane, this is a food, in addition to the cost, half a day's work, on top of Zhao Laohan to do ten days of heavy work, it is not surprising that Qiu Niang was shocked.
Without waiting for satisfaction to ask, Qiu Niang took out all the copper plates, and said, "The sugar you gave, no one wanted to buy it at first, it was too expensive, and besides, we have so many sugar mills, and everyone is not short of this, otherwise I can come back earlier, just keep this." ”
"How did you sell it?" Satisfied with the interest in this comparison.
"It's a coincidence, I saw that I couldn't sell it, so I broke it into a small one with a piece, let people taste it, anyway, there are a lot of bamboo sticks left, but someone bought a little, I sold it according to twenty wen a catty, I didn't sell much, someone wrapped it round, and asked me how to do it, how do I know......" Qiu Niang said with a smile.
The conversation shifted to the chicken cake again.
Satisfaction will go with her.
"Satisfied, I'm not polite to you, this adds up to eighty-seven wen, and it costs thirty-one wen to buy materials, so I just do more next time, there are fifty-six wen left, I will keep three wen for wages, this is fifty-three wen, you can collect it." Qiu Niang quickly calculated the money clearly and pushed it to satisfaction.
Satisfied reached out and touched the copper plate, which was still warm, and also deeply felt Qiu Niang's joy, and smiled: "Auntie, you can take this money." ”
"Huh?!"
