Chapter 34 Rare things are precious
Qiao Mai smiled mysteriously at the two of them, "Let's go, I'll show you for the teacher, this is the result of the two months of being the teacher." ”
She took Ruxin and Ruyi's little hands, went to the door of the first room in the east wing, opened the door gently, and led them in.
The two of them were dumbfounded when they saw the palm-sized quail on the ground, and Wuyang Wuyang was running around.
"Master, have you used all these houses to support this?"
"yes, aren't they cute? Do you want to keep a few of them? ”
The two swallowed, "Does my mother know?" ”
"I don't know, it doesn't matter if I know, anyway, I'll occupy this house first, and when I'm gone, she'll find someone to clean it up."
"Looks like it's cleaner than a chicken?"
"It's too small, you eat less and you don't pull much, you are more diligent every day, the house doesn't smell at all, and in winter you make a charcoal pot in the house, and they lay eggs the same."
"Let's go back and ask my mother, if we can, we can also raise some at home, just raise this one for a house."
"You can eat it at home, this egg is more nutritious than eggs, and when you make noodle soup, it is better than eggs."
The two looked at the quail for a while, and Qiao Mai called them into the house and pointed to the boiled quail eggs.
"Eat, it's the same as eating eggs, I cooked a pot of spiced food, I can't eat it, take it with your mother when I leave."
"Hehe, follow Master, there will be delicious food at any time."
"This thing is not released, you can't stay overnight in summer, you can't eat some for your neighbors, and let your mother help me do publicity."
"Master, are you going to sell this?"
"Yes, in two months, when the weather gets colder, the chickens will not lay eggs, this thing can be raised in the house, and it will not delay laying eggs, and selling this in winter is also an income"
"Surely it won't be cheap, right?"
"One by one."
"It doesn't sound expensive, but there are several of them on top of an egg."
Qiao Mai'er rolled his eyes, "Eggs are eggs, this is this, although the taste is similar, but the nutritional value is not the same." ”
"What's the difference?"
"Eating this often can strengthen the brain, treat edema, treat anemia, and have certain medicinal value, of course, eggs are also good for the body, especially for the liver."
"Ah, Master knows so much."
"Even if you want to sell this, you naturally need to know more."
"Eat, I'll give you some more good stuff."
The two sisters were not pretentious, but took quail eggs and peeled them and ate them.
Qiao Mai came to the kitchen, boiled a pot of water, took out a dozen ears of corn from the space, peeled the outer skin, leaving only a thin inner layer inside, and threw it into the pot.
The space has already collected a wave of corn ears in four quarters, all piled up in the corner, and they must be sold quickly.
But not now, she has to wait until August and September when the new corn is on the market, and she has to sell the boiled corn a month in advance, so that it should be able to sell at a high price.
When diners get used to her corn, they will know how delicious this variety of corn is.
Thank you for the ears of corn you bought in your previous life, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to eat this sweet and glutinous corn at all.
At the beginning, this kind of corn was also a kind of food that was deeply loved by the people in street food.
After the pot is boiled, you can turn off the heat and fish it out in ten minutes.
A pot full of steaming corn cobs was brought to the kang table in the house by Qiao Mai.
"Master, are you going to cook corn for us?"
"Yes, the corn in the south has grown, I look good, I discussed it with other people's farmers, bought a lot of it, and I plan to buy this as soon as it enters August."
"Master, this corn looks good, but everyone usually uses this to make porridge, who would be rare with this thing? I don't think it's going to sell. ”
"I can't say that it's finished first, wait for it to cool down and taste it later."
"Rich families definitely don't eat it, they all say that this thing is eaten by lowly people."
"That's because they don't have a mouth, don't feel rich, they feel that coarse grains are not worthy of their identity, in fact, coarse grains are great for the body, I tell you, but all those who live a long life, grains are never picky, but those rich people, pick this and pick that, always go early"
The two looked at Qiao Mai and smiled, "Master, you are really funny, but it is also very reasonable. ”
"Listen to Master, how are these quail eggs eating?"
"In terms of taste, it's similar to eggs, and in terms of what kind of nutrition you said, this one is more prosperous, especially the flavor of this spice, which covers the blandness of the eggs, and it's delicious."
"It's a small egg, and the kids should love it."
"yes, I'm used to eating eggs, so it's quite fresh to try this."
On the contrary, just as Xin and Ruyi were not optimistic about this business, and when the corn was cooler, Qiao Mai peeled off the outer layer of corn and handed it to each of them.
"Eat!"
As soon as the two of them bit it, they knew that it was different from the usual corn.
"Master, this corn is delicious, glutinous, sweet, this must be easy to sell."
"How about one of ten?"
"Expensive, right? Stick noodles are only three pennies a pound. ”
"You guys are so tender, why are our double-sided embroidery so expensive?"
"Beautiful, rare, and laborious?"
"That's right, then this corn is rare and delicious, and it's hard for others to find it if they want to eat it."
For the master's order, the two little apprentices quickly understood.
"Rare things are precious, fine are precious, and good are precious, isn't it, Master?"
"Yes, Confucianism can be taught."
When the two girls were leaving, she packed a small basket of quail eggs and corn cobs for them to take away.
In fact, in August, not only these two things can be sold, but also boiled peanuts and boiled edamame, all of which can be sold at the stalls.
If the weather is colder, you can put on a charcoal stove and a pot on it, which can not only keep you warm, but also keep the food from being cold.
Thinking of heating, she now has to prepare for winter.
Although she really wants to be warm at home, she is still willing to see the world outside, after all, on the surface, she is a descendant of the Lu family.
Those who want to repay their debts can't always stay faceless.
Thinking of this, she locked the courtyard door and went to the carpenter's shop, she wanted to order a movable board room, small and windy, and it would not block the embroidery village behind.
Probably the pattern has been formed in her mind, in addition to this, she also has to order a few cauldrons with the iron shop, not like the pot on the stove, it takes up too much space, it should be round, like the one that steamed steamed buns in modern homes.
She also went to the grocery store and ordered a special buzz, and she wanted to sell roasted sweet potatoes in the winter.
Although the space has not been planted yet, there is no hurry, as long as there are seeds, it will ripen in five days, and it will be very fast.
Think about what it would be like to sit on the edge of the official road, in the beautiful wind shed, in the middle, surrounded by a few charcoal stoves, a small table in front, and a sign in front of you, introducing the food on your stall?
She smiled and waved her hand, sweeping away the longing in front of her.
She has to show the people in the town how hard she is working, how hard she is working to pay off her debts, and let them see her hard work.
After doing these few things, she just waited for the time to pick it up, and when it was getting dark, she hurried home.
When I walked into the alley, I saw a person standing in front of my house.
When he got closer, it was a man, about 1.75 meters tall, and he looked pretty good, not like a crop man.
Seeing Qiao Mai coming back, he quickly lowered his head slightly and bowed his hand to her.
"The little lady is polite, and below is your neighbor, surnamed Yuan, from a famous family."
Qiao Mai frowned, "Something?" ”
"I want to ask the little lady, is there still a watermelon at home?"
"You want to buy melons?"
"Yes, the children in the family have a fever and can't eat, so they want to eat watermelon."
"The weather is bad these days, there is no stall, and I can't sell it in parts, I can only sell it whole."
"Whole melons will do."
"Then you wait here, I'll get it."
"If there is anything else delicious, I want to buy some below."
"There are berries, melons, and quail eggs that are about to be sold."
"Quail eggs?"
