Chapter 18 Eggs
The bullock cart swayed toward the village. It was ten o'clock at noon, and the sun was shining brightly. Everyone picked a big leaf on the roadside to block their heads, and the leaves were all withered.
The women were busy discussing the cheap and delicious food in the town, and from time to time they discussed the gossip in the village. Jiang Yan listened silently.
No matter in that era, food was the most important thing for the people. She planned to start the catering industry first. She could listen to the discussions of the villagers and judge the market roughly.
If you are doing catering, you have to make something that is not available in this era. Steamed buns and wontons are all over the street, so there is no need to make them. She is not worried about novel recipes, they can be bought in plane malls.
The main thing is to make something that is low-cost, easy to learn, and can be sold at a high price in the town. As for whether it will sell or not, Jiang Yan is not that worried. Farmers are reluctant to spend money, but there is no shortage of people in the town.
Rich people, as long as the taste is good and the price is right, the sales volume should be quite considerable.
Arriving at the entrance of the village, Jiang Yan saw her daughter-in-law Liu Xiaomeng hanging clothes in the yard from a distance.
Jiang Yan walked quickly into the yard. Lin Nan behind her walked even faster. He directly took the clothes from Liu Xiaomeng's hand and hung them on the rope easily.
Liu Xiaomeng only felt a shadow cast behind her, and then the clothes in her hands were taken away and hung on the rope. She turned around and saw a strong chest in front of her. The two young people looked at each other and blushed.
Face.
After Jiang Yan took a mouthful of dog food, she walked to the main room and asked Wang Jinhua to close the courtyard door.
The rising prices in the town gave her a sense of crisis. She could say that she had money, but not too much. The rising prices would only get higher and higher. She and her sons knew exactly how much the family harvested every year, but they didn’t know the origin.
How much have you given away for free?
She couldn't keep taking things out of the mall like this. The only way was to find a name as soon as possible. The best way was to do business with the Lin family.
Lin Dong put their baskets back into the main room. He didn't know what his mother had bought, so he had to put the things on the table.
Jiang Yan asked Wang Jinhua to put the brown rice away, and she went to the kitchen with the salt: "I just put some of this salt in the salt jar. You can tell me when it is used up."
"I understand, mother." Wang Jinhua nodded repeatedly. She had never seen so much brown rice before! A smile appeared on her face uncontrollably.
Thirty kilograms of brown rice! If you eat sparingly, you won’t have to worry about being hungry for the next month! My mother has really gotten better, and she didn’t even send it to her parents’ house!
"Mom, our family will eat less in the future and only eat one meal a day. With so much brown rice, we will definitely be able to survive until the autumn harvest!" Lin Bei looked at the bag of rice and wanted his mother to save some food so that when the autumn harvest comes, the food will be ready.
After selling them for money, my mother might not sell them.
Jiang Yan shook her head, "No! You are all growing. We can't eat meat every day at home, but we can always keep you fed."
"But mother! Don't you have no money?" Lin Bei said quickly, "I saw you rummaged under your bed last night, and you bought so much rice today."
Jiang Yan twitched the corner of her mouth a few times. It's not a good thing that this child is too shrewd. "Don't think too much about money. Mom thought of eating. Then we can sell it in the town. Maybe our family can make money."
"
Jiang Yan expressed her thoughts by the way. Lin Bei looked at her questioningly and finally said nothing. As long as her mother didn't betray them, he would support her in whatever she did.
Linjiacun never cooks at noon. Even if the family has a lot of food, they can only eat two meals a day at most, one in the morning and one in the evening.
But at this moment, a faint scent of rice wafted from the Lin family.
Ms. Lin Liu, who lived nearby, sniffed hard and found that the smell came from her yard, but the only one living there was the Lin family. She couldn't believe that the Lin family could afford to eat at noon!
Following the smell, she walked to the door of Lin's house and happened to meet Jiang Yan who was going out.
"Hey~ why did Mrs. Liu come to my house?" Jiang Yan crossed her hands and looked at Mrs. Liu funny.
Mrs. Liu's expression changed. She didn't feel any embarrassment about being seen through. Instead, she said confidently: "Whoever went to your house, this road belongs to the whole village, and anyone can walk on it. On the contrary, it is some people. I don't know if they are doing it."
What shameful things have been done, I am afraid that others will see it!"
As she spoke, she peeked into the yard. The Lin family's kitchen was simple and the door was not closed. She could see the entire kitchen at a glance. With her sharp eyes, she happened to watch Wang Jinhua cooking a large pot of brown rice!
"Tsk, tsk, it's none of your business what I do! Don't wander around in front of my house. If you know it, you are passing by, but if you don't know, you think you want to steal something from my house!"
"Don't talk nonsense! I don't even want to enter this shabby thatched house like yours!" Mrs. Liu glared in disgust and ran back to her yard dejectedly.
This Aunt Jiang must have hooked up with some wild guy! She can actually afford brown rice! I don’t know who is blind!
Jiang Yan was too lazy to pay attention to her. She came out to find Xiaodouzi and come back for dinner. At this moment, she saw Xiaodouzi walking from the field ridge, carrying a mini backpack on her tiny body, walking excitedly towards home.
"Xiaodouzi, what are you carrying in your backpack?"
Xiaodouzi looked at the smile on Grandma's face, and with her shy and nervous little body, she showed Jiang Yan a look at her backpack, which contained two eggs.
"Grandma, it's the egg that Xiaozizi gave me. He said he was thanking Grandma for giving him some meat yesterday!"
Jiang Yan immediately thought that it was given to her by Lin Yousheng and his wife. The couple were kind-hearted. You know, in this era, eggs are a good thing. Few people in the village who raised chickens were willing to eat them. They saved them until they went to town.
time to change money.
"Grandma..." Xiaodouzi shouted tremblingly, as if he mustered up the courage. After brewing for a long time, he said: "Grandma, can I have a small bite of the egg? Just a small bite, puppy.
My wife said, the eggs are delicious!"
He really didn't want to compete with Grandma to eat the eggs, but Coyotito said it was so delicious that he really wanted to try it.
When Jiang Yan heard this, she immediately searched for the original memory in her mind, and her face turned very ugly.
Xiaodouzi has been raising chickens for a year and a half. He has been with the hens since he could walk. He has witnessed countless moments when the hens lay eggs, and every egg has gone into his belly. If there are any extra eggs, they are all given away.
go out!
The poor little guy has never eaten an egg since he was born! She is autistic, and she really can't understand that this is her own grandson, and she has such a face and a baby to fight for eggs!
If in her world, there was such a well-behaved baby at home, she would wish to pick out all the stars and moon in the sky for him to kick and play with!
