Chapter 36 It's not easy to make money
I don't know if it's because Zhang Sijiu's "bold words" are too scaring snakes, so in the end, they finished turning the two bamboo forest plates, and the two of them never met again.
But again, I didn't pick much bamboo root mushrooms, just a little more than yesterday.
The main reason is that although no one picks the mushrooms in the bamboo forest plate in Zhaoyin's house, they have grown too long and rotted a lot, and they are not in good condition.
If you want to sell for money, the quality of the goods must be controlled, so Zhang Sijiu only picked the good ones.
In the end, there wasn't much.
Zhang Sijiu used the old method to spread dried bamboo leaves under the bottom to protect the mushrooms, and finally covered them with a layer for protection, and then returned home.
When I got home, Xu had already made breakfast and started cooking pig food.
Seeing Zhang Sijiu's basket, Xu beckoned her over: "Are you going to the county seat today?" ”
Zhang Sijiu nodded: "I'm going." ”
He showed those mushrooms to Xu.
Xu Shi thought for a while and lowered his voice: "Don't tell your grandma, I'll accompany you in a while." ”
Zhang Sijiu hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to mention: "Second aunt, shall I go by myself?" I remember the way. ”
Xu Shi looked at Zhang Sijiu's eyes, and sensed the seriousness and request.
It can be seen that Zhang Sijiu really wants to go alone.
But Xu was still not at ease: "You are still young, what if you are abducted by human traffickers?" ”
Zhang Sijiu smiled: "Second aunt, our county has never heard of a child being abducted. And I'm not stupid. When a stranger talks to me, I ignore him and give me something to eat, and I never touch it. If anyone follows me, I shout. ”
Xu Shi also smiled: "You still think a lot." ”
However, the answer is satisfactory.
Zhang Sijiu persuaded again: "Second aunt, our family has few hands, you let me try." If you don't think you can do it when you look back, I won't go alone next time. If you do, I can run errands for you in the future. ”
Not to mention, in a few words, Xu is really tempted.
Nowadays, people are not interested in separating families, why?
Because there is a lot of work in the family, especially in the farmer's family, every adult is a precious labor force, and together they can live a better life.
And now, the Zhang family has two fewer adults, and this manpower is not enough.
Xu hesitated again and again, and finally lost to Zhang Sijiu's serious gaze: No way, who can refuse those Qing Lingling's eyes to keep staring at you?
After breakfast, under the cover of Xu's family, Zhang Sijiu quietly lifted the basket and went out.
However, before going out, Xu stuffed ten more money in his hand: "In case you can't walk, take the car back." When you're hungry, buy something you stutter. ”
Zhang Sijiu wanted to say that he still had it, but he was glared at by Xu, so he had to accept it with a smile.
Then, Zhang Sijiu embarked on the road.
CMB was already waiting around the corner.
Yes, Zhang Sijiu didn't go alone, Zhaoyin, who was two years older than her, also went with him.
After all, there is still half of CMB in the goods!
The two are together, and it is safe on the road.
However, compared to Zhang Sijiu's calmness, CMB was much more nervous. First, she went secretly and didn't tell the adults. Second, it was the first time she didn't follow an adult into the city, so she always felt flustered.
Walking all the way, without Xiaosong Xiaobai dragging his feet, Zhaoyin and Zhang Sijiu walked to the county seat without an hour.
Then head straight to the restaurant.
Fortunately, there is no money to enter the city gate here, otherwise, Zhang Sijiu will have to pay the city tax.
When the shopkeeper of the restaurant saw Zhang Sijiu, he was a little surprised: "Here again?" ”
Zhang Sijiu naturally wouldn't tell the other party that his idea was "striking while the iron is hot", so the explanation he gave was: "You also know that this kind of thing, after it rains, there are many of them, and the ground will be gone as soon as it dries." So I can still find some today. ”
She pulled open the bamboo leaf and showed the fresh mushroom intact.
The shopkeeper is very satisfied.
Let the people take it down and weigh it, and finally give thirty-five dollars.
After accepting the mushroom money, Zhang Sijiu showed another basket to the shopkeeper.
Under the basket was laid with dry straw, and there were ten evenly sized eggs, on top of which were a small bundle of tender beans, two well-proportioned eggplants that were shiny purple, and two straight and watery cucumbers.
Zhang Sijiu said: "I said yesterday, next time I come, I will give you some vegetables grown by our family to taste." It's not worth much, it's just a little heart. Then you see if the eggs are fresh or not. ”
The shopkeeper has completely lost his temper: he stretches out his hand and doesn't hit the smiling person, this girl has always had a smile on her face, and she speaks politely and is easy to discuss, so it is not easy for her to take a shelf. In addition, they also gave gifts......
In the end, the ten eggs were also given ten dollars according to the market price.
And I chose two on the spot to knock on and see, it is indeed the egg yolk is clear and red, the egg white is translucent and viscous, and it is full of freshness.
However, the shopkeeper didn't forget to remind Zhang Sijiu: "We don't need many eggs a day, just your family, and other people's families." ”
Zhang Sijiu understood.
But she was not disappointed, and replied with a smile: "Yes." Tell me when you need more. ”
The plan to collect eggs and become a second-course dealer is obviously in vain.
But it is also within Zhang Sijiu's expectation - how is it so smooth sailing to make money? It's not lucky enough to win five million.
CMB has been cautious beside him, and he doesn't dare to say a word.
The shopkeeper looked at the comparison between the two, and sighed slightly in his heart: Such a comparison makes Jiu Niang even more capable. If only his own family could have such a capable son......
Zhang Sijiu took the money and quit.
It wasn't until he came out that Zhaoyin exhaled and asked Zhang Sijiu in a low voice: "Jiuniang, why aren't you afraid?" I'm a little nervous in my legs. ”
Zhang Sijiu asked Zhaoyin with a smile: "What are you afraid of?" I'm not going to eat white food, I'm not going to ask for money, I'm not going to sell things seriously. Even if he doesn't buy it, can he still beat me up? At most, two white eyes and a few unkind words, and it doesn't hurt or itch. Do you think that's the truth? ”
CMB thinks about it, it's really the truth.
So her waist straightened a little, and she nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, what are you afraid of!" ”
But in fact, Zhaoyin understands the reason, but it is estimated that if she is allowed to go in again at this time, she will still be intimidated.
Zhang Sijiu was also patient: "Zhaoyin, if something happens in the future, as long as we take care of it ourselves, don't steal, rob or hurt others, don't be afraid." ”
CMB nodded and repeated: "Don't be afraid!" ”
I just don't know if I can do it.
Zhang Sijiu didn't share the money with CMB, and planned to go home with CMB.
But at the city gate, when she met a bun seller, she stopped and bought one. Then break it open, and he and CMB are half of each other.
The mushrooms were sold for thirty-five dollars, and it was difficult for two people to divide them, so Zhang Sijiu simply spent that extra money.
The bun is stuffed with oil residue beans, and there is not much oil residue, and it is chopped to pieces, but it does not affect this bun at all, which is more fragrant than vegetarian buns.
Zhang Sijiu took a bite and secretly swore in his heart: Work hard to make money! Strive for your own family to realize the freedom of buns as soon as possible!
