Chapter 248 Make something delicious to sell and catch big fish
As soon as Zhao Youchang's gong is struck, it makes people nervous.
However, the rhythm of the gong will be different for good things and bad things.
It was during breakfast that when they heard the sound of the gong, Chen Sanmei and Chen Simei immediately took their rice bowls and ran out quickly with the excited Chen Xiaoni.
They had to go to the courtyard gate to hear the shouting.
Chen Zhaozhao did not move and continued to eat.
The others didn't move either. Chen Damei couldn't help but said funnyly: "Nowadays, Zhao Zhao looks more like an older sister."
"Yes." Chen Ermei nodded deeply and asked Chen Zhaozhao with a smile, "Aren't you curious?"
"I'm curious." Chen Zhaozhao said with a smile.
"Then you won't go out and listen?"
Chen Zhaozhao smiled and said nothing, because she could hear clearly even sitting here, otherwise, she would have gone out and listened, hehe.
As she spoke, she heard what Zhao Youchang was shouting.
Then the three people who ran out ran in with smiles on their faces. Chen Simei said excitedly: "There is a performance in town tonight, which is great. Let's prepare some food and go early."
"Really?" Chen Damei and others were very happy to hear this.
There were not many entertainment activities in this era. There were probably one or two performances and one or two movies in the town a year.
The village will also arrange a movie screening during the Chinese New Year.
Every time there is a performance or movie, everyone is very excited and looking forward to it.
Although he has experienced many entertainment activities in later generations, Chen Zhaozhao is also interested in this.
Mainly because it had been too long and she missed the feeling of going to town to watch a show.
We watch the program together in the square, and everyone enjoys it. This kind of simple excitement will be difficult to experience in future generations.
"And this time there are people from the provincial cultural troupe performing in the countryside." Chen Simei said excitedly.
The performances during this period are condolence performances during the busy farming period. Usually people from county cultural troupes go to the countryside to perform, and the number of times that provincial cultural troupes come is very limited.
The strength and programs of the cultural troupe in the provincial capital are naturally better than those in the county. It is even more exciting to see the performances of the cultural troupe in the provincial capital.
But there is another thing about the performance that makes Chen Zhaozhao even more happy.
That means private sales of snacks are allowed.
Every time I go to a movie or show, there will be a lot of people taking out snacks in the square, and the business is very good.
After all, it is very rare to have the opportunity to buy and sell snacks freely. Normally, you would have to buy tickets or go to the black market, but the black market is too expensive and tickets are not available.
Therefore, when there is an opportunity to buy snacks once or twice a year, many villagers will bring some money and buy some snacks.
Watch the show while eating.
Of course Chen Zhaozhao would not miss such a rare opportunity to make money.
"Let's make something to sell." Chen Zhaozhao suggested.
"What to do?" Chen Sanmei asked immediately, and others also looked at Chen Zhaozhao.
"Just sell fried soybeans."
The most popular items sold near the square every time are fried soybeans, followed by small candies, candies, and rice krispie treats.
Originally, melon seeds, peanuts, and popcorn were the best foods to eat while watching the show, but at this time in Huixi County, melon seeds and peanuts were almost sold out during the Chinese New Year. As for popcorn, only rice-popped rice was used during the Chinese New Year.
There are almost no corn poppers. At this time, there are very few corn growers in Huixi County, let alone corn that can be popped.
Chen Zhaozhao doesn't plan to come up with any new tricks, just stir-fry soybeans.
Although there are many people selling fried soybeans, others cannot taste the same as hers.
The important thing is that the cost of soybeans is low and she has a lot of them at home, so the fried beans will be heavier than the original ones and sold at double the price.
This was a good income, although it was not comparable to her selling vegetables and fruits to the supply and marketing cooperative, but she couldn't let go of the opportunity to make money.
When Chen Zhaozhao said he wanted to sell it, the rest of the family would certainly not object.
After dinner, Chen Zhaozhao began to pick up soybeans and fry them.
Generally, the soybeans sold in the market are simply fried without adding oil or salt.
Chen Zhaozhao stir-fried ten kilograms of soybeans with a little oil, a little salt, some spices and spiritual spring water. Twenty kilograms of soybeans were fried, and the smell was so fragrant that it made people drool.
Taste a few pieces, they are salty and crispy, and the more you chew, the more delicious they become.
"Wow~ This is so delicious." Chen Simei sighed after eating it, "Zhaozhao, why didn't you make such delicious fried soybeans earlier? It's so delicious."
"I didn't think of it before." Chen Zhaozhao smiled sheepishly. She remembered that her family didn't like to eat fried soybeans, so she never thought of frying them before.
In addition, it was so delicious that she didn't even think of frying it.
She ignored it. She now has Lingquan and different stir-frying methods, and the flavor she produces is simply unparalleled.
Everyone praised it for being delicious, but Chen Sanmei asked, "How much do you plan to sell it for per pound?"
"It sells for 15 cents on the market, so let's just sell it for 20 cents."
"Two cents, that's only four yuan. You have to get rid of the paper bag money to make more than three yuan." Chen Sanmei was a little disgusted.
They now sell tofu, vegetables, and loquats and strawberries, earning more than 130 yuan a day. She really doesn't like these few yuan.
"Hahaha, let's join in the fun." Chen Zhaozhao smiled mysteriously, "It's just a small thing to sell soybeans, but I want to use this to catch big fish."
"What kind of big fish are you fishing for?" Chen Simei asked curiously.
"We'll know when the time comes." Chen Zhaozhao smiled and pretended.
Today, because Chen Zhaozhao fried an extra soybean, Chen Dawang went up to the mountain to chop firewood, leaving Zhang Genshan to help with the work at home.
However, because they are skilled at doing these tasks, their speed is much faster. There are many things to do every day, so they are not in a hurry.
Soon, the busy day passed. After having an early dinner, everyone went to the town to watch a show.
Watching a show is a big event for everyone. In order to get a good seat, people who don't work go there very early.
Chen Zhaozhao and the others arrived relatively late, but it was still the peak travel period.
After all, the majority of people are hard-working people nowadays. When they are not busy in farming, they go to the mountains to cut firewood, dig wild vegetables and find game, or weed in their own land, and clean up the weeds around the house or the house.
In short, if you want to do something, you can always find a lot of work.
The performance is generally two hours long, starting at 6:30 and ending at 8:30.
Chen Zhaozhao and the others set out at five o'clock. There were a lot of people going there at this time. There were people along the way, especially at the junction with other villages outside. There were even more people passing by.
There are eight villages in Zhixiang Town, with about 20,000 people in the whole town. Every time there is a performance in the town, most of the people come.
The road was crowded with people, and everyone was carrying stools. Chen Dawang, who was carrying a load, stood out.
Along the way, many people came over and asked what they were selling. After asking if they were selling fried soybeans, some people wanted to buy them, but when they heard the price, they backed down.
Along the way, they failed to make any business.
Because of their previous experience and their confidence in the taste of their own soybeans, they were not in a hurry.
Moreover, everyone is rushing on the road, so it is not a good time to buy or sell.
We soon arrived in the town, which was already crowded with people. Everyone's face was filled with anticipation and excitement, and they were chatting enthusiastically about how the show would be exciting since there were people from the provincial cultural troupe tonight.
"I heard from the gossip that our town sent a group of cultural troupes to the provincial capital, and we are all in for a treat tonight."
"Really? I heard someone say before that the flowers are very beautiful."
"It should be real. Tuanhua, of course it's beautiful."
Chen Zhaozhao and the others listened to the comments of the people around them and frowned, wondering if the beauty of the provincial capital's art troupe was Fang Ruofei?
Is Fang Ruofei here?
Chen Zhaozhao was suddenly excited. Logically speaking, an art troupe actor of Fang Ruofei's level would not come to a remote small county like theirs. Did he come back for Yu Jing?
