After Xiang Jin and the others went to buy groceries, they looked at the place where the glass cabinet push cart was being made. The boss said it would be ready in two days.
Xiang Jin and the others nodded, and then went to the station to catch the bus home. After returning home, her mother hurriedly took the meat and bones she just bought from the town and went to work in the kitchen.
It’s so delicious, we don’t have enough time.”
Xiang Jin said, "You can braise it at home slowly. I don't bring braised vegetables in the afternoon. How can I bring braised vegetables every time? If you eat too much, you will get tired of the taste. Leave some meat for me. I will steam it then."
Take it with you, and don’t braise the pair of pig ears. Just boil them in plain water. I will make cold shredded ears for you to try."
"Okay, then I'll soak the meat and bones in water first, soak out the blood inside, and then I'll slowly marinate them at home."
"Well," Xiang Jin nodded, and then asked, "Have you figured out the ratio of the ingredients now?"
Yang Juyun nodded, "Yes, I figured it out. I figured it out according to the method you taught me last time."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Then you can show me how to braise the meat later."
"good!"
"There is also the use of the electronic scale. It is calculated in kilograms, that is, how many kilograms. Oh, the prices of those braised vegetables are all based on the price per kilogram. You will be settling accounts for others.
Time has to be multiplied by two."
Yang Juyun nodded her head, "I know, I know, you can take the test with me later."
Xiang Jin nodded, and when she was making salad ear silk in the afternoon, her mother asked her, "Hey, my daughter, can we sell some cold vegetables at the same time as the braised pork? I think some people
You may like braised food, and some people may like cold food.”
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, but if you want your cold dishes to be delicious, you also have to learn seasonings. For example, the way to splash chili oil is very particular. If you want the chili oil to be splashed deliciously,
, you can’t just boil the vegetable oil in a pot and then pour it directly on the chili noodles. You first have to add ginger, onion, garlic, and preferably some onions. Turn down these seasonings.
Fry them in the oil over high heat to bring out all the essence inside them, let them blend into the oil, then use a slotted spoon to remove them all, then put a little salt on the chili noodles, and finally
Pour the boiling hot oil on the chili noodles, and then use a spoon to stir the chili oil evenly, so that the splashed chili oil will be fragrant, and the mixed cold dishes will be delicious."
Yang Juyun said, "Okay, I'll do it later. You can watch it for me and see if I'm doing it right?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yeah!"
Not to mention, although her mother may not have a very fast brain in other aspects, she is still very capable of understanding food. Xiang Jin just gave her a general introduction, such as making cold dishes besides
In addition to some chili oil and salt and MSG, you also need to add some soy sauce, sugar, and some oil. This is used to enhance the freshness. Her mother can actually make it according to her instructions.
come out.
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, it's almost the same. You can master it proficiently by practicing two more times. Also, you can crisp up some peanuts when you are free, and then add them to the cold dishes for others."
Some, the effect will be better by then.
Like braised vegetables, you can buy some dried beans to braise, and you can also boil some eggs to braise. Then you can string the eggs into two skewers with bamboo skewers, and sell them at double the market price."
"Ah? Isn't it too high to sell at double the price?" Yang Juyun said in surprise.
Xiang Jin said, "You have to consider the cost. Even if you don't double it, you still have to increase the price by 50% to sell it? Otherwise, what will we make? You have to remember, you are more expensive.
What's there is the braised flavor.
When others tell you that it is expensive, you have to explain to them why the price of our products is so high. First of all, it is the cost of materials. For example, if you buy a pound of pork, it will definitely cost less if you cook it.
It has shrunk, it may be half a catty, it may be six or seven taels, and there are also the prices of the ingredients, the labor, water and electricity bills, and
When rent and other miscellaneous things are added up, how much is it worth? You have to try your best to minimize our interests. For example, if someone comes to buy a pound of braised pork from us, you can't tell them so honestly that we make money.
How much does it cost? Apart from the cost of materials, water, electricity, rent, etc., we only earn a few cents per pound.
When doing business, we should be honest. For example, we can't cut corners for others, skip a few pounds, or skip scales. We can even give others a little credit, for example, if someone buys more than ten items, we should be honest.
For twenty yuan of braised vegetables and braised pork, the final weighed price contains a few cents in change. We can directly wipe out those few cents and give them directly.
Don't charge zero, so that others can still remember you as a smooth and generous person, so that others will come to you more often to patronize and take care of your business. If you have a few cents, you will be able to account for them.
Clearly, people will think you are a petty boss, and they will stop coming back to your store in the future, no matter how delicious your food is.
But while we are being sincere, we must also be flexible in our minds. For example, if someone comes to talk to you and asks how you make the stewed vegetables, you just say you don’t know. Your daughter and I prepare the ingredients every time, and you just
You are responsible for selling stewed vegetables. If others inquire about how much money you make, you cannot tell them.
Even if your uncle or aunt comes to inquire about you, you can't tell the truth. You have to know that the speaker has no intention of listening and the listener has no intention. If they accidentally spill the beans while chatting with others outside, then others will also fumble or imitate.
If we do it at home, then you will have many more competitors, do you know?
Doing business is about true and false, false and true. When it should be true, we should never be ambiguous. When it should be false, we can't compare the truth. We must always know how to be flexible and have a flexible mind. We can't just do it blindly.
If you are stupid and others are smart and shrewd, then you will only be bullied!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I understand. If others think our products are expensive, I will use the words you just taught me to explain to them why the prices are high." Yang Juyun nodded vigorously. At this moment, she
She was so impressed with her daughter that she fell head over heels in admiration.
Xiang Jin said "hmm" and then suggested to her, "If someone takes care of our business for a long time, sometimes you can still give them two braised eggs or half a braised dried tofu.
, these are not valuable anyway, if people take them back and eat them, they will not only remember you as a good person, but maybe they will come and buy your braised eggs and braised dried beans separately to make porridge."
"Yeah, okay, okay, okay, I'll listen to you!"
Xiang Jin poured a glass of water and drank it, "Okay, I've almost finished what I should tell you. From now on, our family will be up to you, right?"
Yang Juyun nodded again, "Okay, look at me, look at me!"
Then Xiang Jin said again, "If our house is almost done, let's ask grandpa to move into the main house instead of letting him live in that bamboo shed. It's already October, and it may not be until half of the time."
It's going to get cold here in the next month. It's better to go to the main room to stay warmer. I bought three when school started last time.
The thicker new cotton batting on the bed weighs eight pounds. When I came back twice, I also brought four beds back one after another. Our family now has seven beds of new cotton batting, as well as bed sheets and quilt covers.
They are all brand new, and I took the time to clean them when I came back twice, so they can be used directly."
"Well, okay, I'll tell him later when I go to deliver food to him, and let him move in when he has time." Yang Juyun followed and sighed again, "Oh, it's going to be cold today, too.
I need to buy you more clothes. You see you have grown a lot this year, so I guess those clothes from last year are no longer wearable."
"Oh, we'll talk about that later," Xiang Jin said on the face, but in her heart she was thinking that she would have to find some reason to go to the bank and withdraw a few hundred dollars to use it.
, she had to prepare some clothes, shoes and socks for this winter, but she couldn't just get hundreds of dollars out of thin air. She had to find a reason to let the money appear openly in front of her mother, making her feel that
It's just natural.
Xiang Jin couldn't think of any good ideas for a while, but she thought of another thing, that is, the fixed deposit she transferred today has not been recorded yet, so she told her mother to go back to the house to see if there was anything left.
The things she missed packing away would prevent her from losing them at home and having trouble sorting them out.
Her mother waved her hand, "Then go quickly, go quickly, I'm here!"
Xiang Jin entered the room, then opened the box she placed under the bed, took out a small notebook and a pen, then turned to a certain page, and then wrote down:
Year, month, day, dc1.2k, only she knows what this mark is, even if others find it, they don’t know what it is.
Then she counted carefully, and then quickly calculated, and found that she now had more than 40,000 yuan saved in her hand. If she kept saving like this smoothly, when she was a freshman in college, she would say
Maybe she can buy a house in the provincial capital. Then she can put her name on it, and it will be completely her own property.
Thinking of this, her heart suddenly bubbled with beauty. She quickly closed the notebook, quickly locked the box, and then pushed the box back under the bed and hid it.
As she was walking to school in the afternoon, Yan Chen asked her, "Are you and your mother going to the show today?"
"Well, let's rent a store," Xiang Jin nodded and said.
"Is the rental ready?"
"Well, I've rented it. It's just opposite the town. Isn't there a street in the middle? There are many shops selling clothes on one side of the street, and then there is the vegetable market when you go there. Then on the other side of the street are residential households and other things.
The merchants, we are right next to the residential buildings, and right at that opening."
Yan Chen thought for a moment and said, "That's a good location. Business should be better by then."
The corner of Xiang Jin's lips curled up, "If it's managed well, it shouldn't be bad."
"Then when will you open for business?" Yan Chen followed.
Xiang Jin said, "Maybe it will only take a few days. My mother will wait for the glass cabinet to be ready and open it. The boss who made the cabinet said it will be ready in two days."
Yan Chen nodded, "But I can't go and cheer for you."
Xiang Jin said, "It's okay. I won't miss you when the time comes. Besides, I'm not free either. Oh, okay, I'll leave it to my mother. Let's just leave it alone. We'd better listen to my mother.
Study hard in school, but she is still waiting for me to make her look good, so I can't live up to her expectations."
Yan Chen just laughed and said, "Your mother, including many people in the bay, have seriously misjudged your learning ability."
Xiang Jin's eyes turned into crescent moons when he smiled, "Low-key, low-key, I just want them to misjudge, so that there is not much pressure. The so-called no expectations means there will be no disappointment when the time comes, just in case I don't perform well in the exam."
Well, isn't that natural? If expectations are too high, it will be very painful if you fall down."
Yan Chen's eyes were teasing, "Are you going crazy?"
Xiang Jin said, "Theoretically no, but in practice it's hard to say. After all, there are still some irresistible factors, so we'd better not talk too much, otherwise we will be slapped in the face."
It hurts a lot!" As she said that, she covered her face and made a strange movement that made her face hurt.
Yan Chen just laughed.
In the evening, several people had extra meals after their evening self-study. When everyone put their portion of food on the table, Xiang Jin couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eyes.
"Let me tell you, we have to eat too much. We will easily gain weight by then."
Look at what her cousin Yang Hui brought, braised pork, braised eel and white rice. Yan Chen brought braised sea fish, sea cucumber and abalone soup, and she brought steamed pork with vermicelli, cold shredded ears, and dried celery.
The total food for several people is six or seven dishes. This life is simply not too good.
Seeing so many delicious foods, Yang Zhao was very happy and ran to the kitchen to wash his hands without being reminded.
Yan Chen smiled and said, "No, what I brought today are all fish products, mainly containing protein, no fat, and nourishing the brain!"
Yang Hui also said quickly, "We only brought braised pork, and eels are also fish. Don't worry, you won't gain weight."
Xiang Jin chuckled, "Braised pork contains the most fat, and I also brought steamed pork with rice flour, which is also fat."
Yang Zhao washed his hands and came out and said, "These two are high in fat, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Xiang Jin said, "Anyway, I can only eat two pieces of the braised pork tonight at most, and the same goes for the steamed pork with rice flour. I'll leave the rest to you guys, right?"
Yang Zhao teased her, "Cousin, you really are too fat for too much meat!"
Xiang Jin said, "It's not that I'm too fat because of the fat. I'm afraid that I'll gain weight. I don't want to gain weight."
Yang Hui said, "I know, do you want to grow taller?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Exactly! Oh, where did you get the eels? Did you catch them or buy them?"
Yang Zhao said, "Last night my father and my second uncle led us to the rice fields to pick them."
"Caught? You are so brave, aren't you afraid of catching a snake?" Xiang Jin said in surprise.
Yang Hui said, "No, it's not too hot at this time, and those snakes won't run into the fields."
Xiang Jin said, "I think we should be more careful, what if we encounter a water snake?" Xiang Jin thought about the scene in his mind, and then trembled, "Hey
, don’t dare to think, don’t dare to think!”
Yan Chen put a piece of sea fish into her bowl and said, "Don't think about that while eating!"
Xiang Jin said "Oh" and then moved the plate of dried vegetables in front of him towards him, "Hey, this is your favorite stir-fried pork with celery and fragrant dried vegetables."
Yan Chen smiled when he looked at the plate of dishes, and Yang Zhao said, "No, cousin, you made Yan Chen's favorite dish, what about us?"
Xiang Jin rolled his eyes at him angrily, pointed at a few meat dishes with his chopsticks, and said, "Hey, now, aren't these all cooked for you? I know you like to eat meat, so this is all meat."
Yang Zhao chuckled and said, "I was just kidding you."
Xiang Jin raised his fist and made a threatening gesture towards him, "If you don't finish these dishes tonight, I will bring you shabu-shabu water next time!"
Yang Zhao said, "How is that possible? I like meat the most. I will definitely finish it and make sure not to waste it!"
Yang Zhao was really good at eating meat. She and Yan Chen each ate one small bowl of braised pork, while his brother only ate two or three pieces, and he ate them all.
The same goes for the small bowl of steamed pork she brought with her. She ate a piece, Yan Chen and his brother ate three or four pieces respectively, and he also ate the rest.
Among them, he also ate a lot of cold shredded ears, the braised sea fish brought by Yan Chen, and a bowl of abalone soup.
Only the stir-fried pork with celery and fragrant dried meat she brought did not use her chopsticks much. Because it was a bit spicy, Yang Hui only extended her chopsticks to the dish twice.
However, this was cheaper for Xiang Jin and Yan Chen, as well as the braised eel. These two dishes were basically destroyed by the two of them.
Yang Hui ate the most of the braised sea fish that Yan Chen brought.
After finishing the meal, Yang Zhao was still thinking about the soup Yan Chen brought, "Hey, Yan Chen, what kind of soup did you bring today? It's so fresh and delicious!"
Yan Chen said, "Seafood soup."
Xiang Jin said, "The soup you drank today is the most expensive of all the meals we had today. It's called sea cucumber and abalone soup."
"Ah? What I ate today was sea cucumber and abalone? Isn't that a delicacy?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "It is indeed seafood."
"Then, which one is sea cucumber and which one is abalone?" Yang Zhao followed up and asked.
Xiang Jin said, "The one you eat is cut into pieces, the white one is abalone, and the remaining one is sea cucumber."
"Wow, I actually ate something so expensive today," Yang Zhao sighed.
Xiang Jin said, "Let's stop it for now. Let's have a small meeting. It's about bringing meals every two weeks."
Several people looked at her.
Then Xiang Jin said, "I think it's really not okay for us to eat like this. I suggest that we discuss it in the future when bringing food. For example, there are three of us, and we clearly stipulate which one will bring rice, which one will bring vegetables, and which one will bring soup. This way
It avoids duplication, and it doesn’t have to be a big table of dishes every time, just like having a banquet in a restaurant. Look, we are coming to school.
I had eaten at home before, but I only ate again after a night of self-study time. However, it is really not good to eat so many meaty and fatty foods in the middle of the night, because we need food soon after meals.
After washing and going to bed, lying in bed consumes very little energy and the stomach cannot digest it. It will not be good for the body to accumulate food in the stomach. "
Yan Chen nodded, "I agree, then I will bring soup from now on."
Xiang Jin said, "Then I will bring food."
Yang Hui said, "Ah, I just bring food? That's not good, I bring food every time? No, no, I still have to bring food!"
Xiang Jin knew that he didn't want to take advantage of her and Yan Chen, so she looked at Yan Chen.
Yan Chen also knew what Yang Hui was thinking, so in order not to hurt his self-esteem, he said, "Well, let's take turns bringing food, vegetables and soup from now on?"
A few people followed and nodded, thinking that this proposal was a good one, so that no one would take advantage of anyone else, and we could get along with each other freely!
After the matter was discussed, Xiang Jin patted Yang Zhao on the shoulder and said, "Hurry up and wash the dishes!"
Yang Zhao grimaced and said, "No, sister, I just ate. You can't let me rest for a while and then wash up. That way you can still let me digest?"
Xiang Jin said, "Asking you to wash the dishes is helping you digest, because you are exercising by washing the dishes."
Yang Zhao was at a loss for words. After staring at her for a while, he had to stand up and pick up the dishes, "I can't help you."
Xiang Jin said, "That's not because you can't defeat me, that's because what I said makes sense. Go ahead. A man means what he says. You promised it before. You can't break your promise. I'm optimistic about you, but don't worry."
, Although I am a woman, I still keep my word, and I have something to eat by doing things for my sister!”
Yang Yangzhao asked, "Can I order food from now on?"
Xiang Jin shook his head, "This is difficult to handle. If you don't go there during the holiday, you can eat whatever you want. If you go there on the holiday, that's fine. Remember, what I said is going to be there in Fuyun Town."
"Okay," Yang Zhao could only nod.
Yang Hui slapped him on the shoulder, "It's good to have something to eat. If you're still picking and choosing, you're used to it. Go wash the dishes!"
"Oh," Yang Zhao didn't dare to be a monster again after being taught a lesson by his brother, so he quickly went to wash the dishes and chopsticks.
After Yang Zhao left, Yang Hui said to Xiang Jin, "Don't pay so much attention to him from now on. He doesn't dare to make such conditions at home."
Xiang Jin waved his hand, "Children, I can understand!"
Yang Hui said, "Don't forget that you are only a few months older than him, less than half a year old."
Xiang Jin was stunned, Yan Chen looked at her funny, his eyes were full of teasing, Xiang Jin immediately said, "That's still big, let me emphasize, even if I'm only a day, an hour, and a minute older than him, then I'm still his boss."
His sister!" In case that kid gets stiff in the future and doesn't take her cousin seriously.
Seeing how serious she looked, Yang Hui and Yan Chen couldn't help but find it funny. Yan Chen said, "Isn't it enough to be the boss of your sister at home?"
Xiang Jin leaned over and said to them, "Being the boss has the privilege of giving orders to the younger ones without any hesitation, and they don't dare to complain too much. Well, that's right," she said with a glance in her eyes.
Towards the kitchen.
Yang Hui was speechless. He said that she kept emphasizing her identity as a cousin. It turned out that she wanted to enslave her silly brother. Indeed, her silly brother really didn't dare to pretend to be a sister.
refute.
Yan Chen exposed her, "Didn't you trick him with delicious food?"
Xiang Jin said, "Then he has to take the bait? This is called Zhou Yu's beating of the yellow cover. One is willing to be beaten and the other is willing to suffer. Besides, I cooked the food. Shouldn't he wash the dishes after eating it? Oh, I always
It’s impossible to cook and wash the dishes again, how can that make sense?”
Yan Chen reminded her, "Have you brought food?"
Xiang Jin rolled his eyes at him angrily, turned around and went into the room, "I'll wash up later, you can do it yourself!"
Go earn her royalties again!
Looking at her back, Yan Chen raised a smile, and then turned back to the room, "I will wash up later, you two brothers can have priority!"
Yang Hui felt puzzled by the two of them, and then turned around and entered his house, leaving Yang Zhao alone in the kitchen washing dishes silently.
A few days later, after the third class in the morning, Yang Hui suddenly came to find her and Yan Chen, saying that his parents invited them to eat at a restaurant on the street at noon, and told them not to eat in the cafeteria at noon, and let Xiang
Jin and Yan Chen were both surprised for a moment, then Xiang Jin asked, "Uncle and aunt were on the street today?"
"Well, they were selling silkworm cocoons on the street today. I was passing by here and told me to say hello to you two. They are selling silkworm cocoons now," Yang Hui said.
Xiang Jin and Yan Chen looked at each other, then nodded, and Xiang Jin said, "Okay, we understand."
As the class bell rang quickly, Yang Hui repeatedly emphasized to them while running towards their classroom, "Remember, don't forget!"
Xiang Jin waved to him, "I know, I know, don't worry, I won't forget it!" After saying that, she couldn't help but mutter to Yan Chen, "There is a free lunch, how could I forget it?
, you say so?"
Yan Chen smiled and said, "Yes, okay, let's enter the classroom!"
After school at noon, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen were walking downstairs when Yang Hui ran over. Seeing him panting, Xiang Jin said, "Don't worry, we haven't forgotten. We are planning to go down the street."
Let’s go.”
Yang Hui explained, "No, I'm here to tell you the place. I forgot to tell you the place to eat at that time. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to find the place later."
"Oh, this is, well, where is it?" This is the bad thing about this era. Mobile phones have just started and have not yet reached the point of popularity. Everyone still uses pagers. Of course, this pager is also still
A few people are using it, so it’s really inconvenient to go anywhere and find someone to talk to.
If Yang Hui hadn't come to tell them, they might really be wandering around on the street. She still misses the society she used to live in. Everyone has a mobile phone, some have several, and everyone has a computer. No, it's possible.
Several, for example, she has three computers, a desktop at work, a laptop for business trips, and a desktop at home.
People in their society have great convenience no matter where they go. Everyone has a mobile phone, and everything can be done with just one mobile phone. Unlike now, she is so backward that she doesn’t even have a call machine. Fortunately, she is still a
Little people need room to grow, they don’t have anything important to do, and they don’t have access to a mobile phone for the time being, so that’s okay.
It's still bearable. If she came here as an adult, and she was still working, without a mobile phone or a computer, she would probably be depressed to death, because she still prefers the kind of high-intensity, fast-paced life.
How can we get used to this kind of procrastinating life where things that can be solved with a phone call and a sentence take several days?
Yang Hui said, "This is the place where Yan Chen and his grandparents invited us to dinner last time."
"Oh, where is it? That seems to have become our first choice place to eat out," Xiang Jin nodded.
Yang Hui said with some embarrassment, "The main reason is that I think the food there is pretty good. I told my parents last time I went back, and my parents said they would treat you to dinner in the future and book it there. They said that since it is Yan
The place Grandpa and Grandma Chen chose must be right."
"Okay, let's go then!"
Several people came to the old place together, and Xiang Jin and Yan Chen found that not only her uncle and aunt were there, but also her second uncle and second aunt. They had all sat down at a big table and were chatting.
They did what they said, and Yang Zhao also got there one step ahead of them.
After everyone greeted each other, they sat down. Yang Hui behaved like a host. First, he poured a cup of tea for her and Yan Chen. The two of them didn't show any politeness to him, and just took a sip from the tea cup.
Then her aunt pushed a menu in front of them with a smile on her face and asked them to order, "Yan Chen, Jin Yatou, you can order whatever you want to eat, no need to be polite!"
Seeing her bold look, Xiang Jin joked, "It seems that uncle and aunt have made a fortune today, okay, then we won't be polite and will kill you?!"
Then several adults burst out laughing, and her eldest aunt came over and poked her in the forehead, "You damn girl, look at what you said, you think what I told your eldest uncle was like picking on an old rich man.
Yes? Then my uncle and aunt are usually reluctant to let you go, right?"
Xiang Jin nodded quickly and said, "I'm willing to give up, I'm willing to give up. My uncle and aunt are usually the most willing to give up to us, and so are my second uncle and second aunt, so my mother and I are grateful to you."
Her aunt followed and said seriously, "Okay, hurry up and order. The boss is waiting there. Again, just order whatever you like. Don't save money for me and your uncle. We are here today."
Bring enough money!"
"Okay, okay, I'll order, I'll order," Xiang Jin checked on the menu and then handed the menu to Yan Chen.
Yan Chen said, "I don't choose, you just choose."
Xiang Jin refused, "I won't order it, you order it yourself. I ordered what I like to eat, and you also order what you like to eat."
"Yes, Yan Chen, you can also order something you like. Look, last time your grandparents invited our Yang Hui to dinner, we didn't even thank you. Then you asked Yang Hui and Jin Yatou to come with us.
You live together and often discuss topics with Yang Hui
, Yang Hui’s father and I cannot thank you enough. Today is a rare opportunity to treat you to a meal, so just order one, and it will satisfy your Uncle Yang and Auntie Yang, "Follow to Xiang.
Jin's eldest aunt quickly persuaded her.
Yan Chen said, "Auntie, you are too polite. In fact, it doesn't matter. The house is big and has three rooms. I can't live in so many rooms by myself. Inviting them together can make it more lively. The second one is Yang Hui.
I am very diligent and hardworking myself, and I didn’t teach him a few questions, so you don’t have to be grateful.”
Xiang Jin's uncle said, "Hey, why aren't you grateful? Yang Hui came back and told us that his academic performance has improved significantly since he lived with you two. In the past, he was just one of them
He was an average student in the class, and now he is an average student in your entire grade."
"Yes, Yan Chen, just order one," before Yan Chen could answer, brothers Yang Hui and Yang Zhao urged him.
Yan Chen nodded, "Okay, then I'll order one."
After he ordered, the menu was taken over by the landlady and arranged. Xiang Jin looked at her second uncle and second aunt and said, "Uncle, aunt, are you selling silkworm cocoons today?"
Her little aunt looked at her brother-in-law without saying a word, and her brother-in-law said with a smile, "Yes, with your uncle and uncles."
"So, how are you doing with your silkworm breeding this season?" She then looked at her uncle and aunt, "But, looking at how uncle and aunt look like, the cocoons of this season's silkworms should be good?"
Her uncle and her aunt couldn't hide the smiles on their faces no matter how hard they tried. Her aunt teased her and said, "You're the only one who's so smart." Then she looked serious and said, "But
This season's silkworms are much better than last season's. It's a little cooler this season, and there aren't any bad silkworms. This season's silkworm cocoons are also white. Your uncle and I still picked two or three pieces of silkworm paper.
More than a hundred kilograms of cocoons.”
Xiang Jin was very happy for them, "Really? That's great. What's the price this season?"
Her second aunt said, "The prices this season are a little lower than last season. The best ones last season could sell for more than 16 yuan to 17 yuan a pound, but the best ones this season are only
It sells for a little more than fifteen yuan, and our two families only sell it for fourteen seventy-eight yuan, fourteen eighty-nine yuan. I guess there are more people raising autumn silkworms this season, so the price is slightly lower.
a little."
"Oh, I guess it's because, no matter what it is, the more it is, the cheaper it is, and the less it is, the more expensive it is." Xiang Jin nodded, "But it's still pretty good!"
The two uncles and aunt were also quite satisfied with their silkworm paper this season, and they all responded "yes" to the answer. Her second aunt also said, "The silkworm cocoons in our two families are medium in size, and the one with the big head is...
It’s so white that I think it’s only sold for fifteen yuan or two.”
"Yes, yes!" Her aunt agreed, and then asked Yan Chen how her grandparents were doing, saying that they hadn't been to Xiang Jin's house for a long time. Yan Chen said everything was fine and thanked them.
of concern.
Her second aunt always praised Yan Chen as a very polite child, always polite and courteous when he spoke, which made Yan Chen's ears slightly red.
When Xiang Jin saw him, he was afraid that he would be uncomfortable, so he quickly changed the subject, "Oh, by the way, uncle, second uncle, aunt, second aunt, has my mother been back recently?"
Her two uncles and two aunts shook their heads, and her eldest aunt asked, "No, what's wrong? Is there something going on at home?"
Xiang Jin said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that our braised pork restaurant has opened, right across from Fuyun Town."
"Is it open?" her second uncle asked.
"Well," Xiang Jin nodded, "I heard that it opened last time. The shop was a bit big, about seventy or eighty square meters. Our family can't use such a big space, so what I told my mother was
Let me divide that land between your two families.
Anyway, aren’t all your cocoons this season gone? The next step is to plant rapeseed and winter wheat. After the next few months of winter, there will basically be nothing to do. It’s better to go to the town to do it.
What kind of deal is this? My mother said she would take some time to go back and tell you about it. It seems she has been busy these days and hasn’t had time yet."
Several adults took a breath after hearing this, "Seventy or eighty square meters? Why is it so big?"
Xiang Jin said, "The boss originally opened a clothing store, but because there were many clothing businesses around, the competition was fierce, and the business was not very prosperous. Their son also opened a clothing store in the provincial capital, so he called them
Rent out the shop and open it in the provincial capital."
Her aunt asked, "Well, the rent for such a big shop is not cheap, right?"
Xiang Jin said, "It's okay. One thousand seventeen a year and three thousand four two years. We rented it for two years and the rent was paid in full. So if you go to town to do business, you don't need to find another shop."
Pay rent."
Her second uncle asked, "How can we do that? Let you alone bear such a large amount of rent?"
Her uncle and aunt nodded, as did her second aunt. Xiang Jin felt that her two aunts were actually okay, and they were not as treacherous as her mother said.
Xiang Jin's impression of her two aunts became stronger, so she smiled and said, "To be honest with you two uncles and aunts, you have put in a lot of effort and suffered a lot in building a house for our family this year."
Bitter, originally I discussed with my mother to give your family a few hundred dollars.
But then we thought about it and thought that you wouldn’t be able to accept it. To be honest, as relatives, we are very grateful for your help for a day or two, but you have helped us for so many days, and we feel so sad.
I feel sorry for myself.
The reason why I rented the shop there was because I thought the port there was good, the location of the Sanchakou had a lot of people flow, and the most important thing was that it was opposite the town.
There are more than 1,000 and nearly 2,000 people in the town, and the few restaurants around here have no special characteristics. They are either noodles or vermicelli. You have all tasted my craftsmanship, and I am confident that I can make something unique.
Come here for food, I think if all three of us open stores there, the business will be very good."
After what she said, her two uncles and aunt felt very relieved, and the two families were also very moved, but her eldest aunt said, "You see, you just built a house this year, and your finances are also tight.
You took us into consideration when you rented the shop, how can we feel so comfortable?"
Yan Chen looked at Xiang Jin with a teasing look in his eyes. Are they financially stressed? In their big family, the one with the least financial stress is probably Xiang Jin and his family. No, to be precise, it is Xiang Jin. Xiang Jin eats meat.
, will her mother and sister be allowed to eat chaffy vegetables? This little girl is now an invisible rich woman? She probably has tens of thousands of dollars in hand now.
Xiang Jin said, "Auntie, what you said is a bit serious. As long as our house is built, there will be nothing to be nervous about. My mother will mainly support me and Xiang Lan after she passes away.
, as long as our braised pork business is done well, there shouldn't be any problems.
Don't your family and your second uncle want to renovate that house in the past two years? I think you can use this small business to save some money, and then the house can be renovated early.
You see, society is constantly moving forward. As society moves forward, economic prices will definitely increase accordingly. The house our family bought this year still cost more than 5,000 yuan in total.
Where is the block?
, Oh, not only that, my mother spent more than 5,000 yuan, but also the money I earned from the corn-husking object that I made with Yan Chen before. I also paid a few materials for my mother.
, and all the living expenses during the construction of the house were paid by me. I spent at least three to four thousand yuan on it. You see, it is the same price now, and it may be more expensive in the future."
Her eldest uncle and second uncle were stunned, "Your family has spent so much on building a house this year?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Ah, isn't it? We have only built one floor, and you also said that we will build two floors, which will cost nearly 20,000 by then."
Her two uncles and two aunts suddenly felt a little stressed. After a while, they heard her eldest aunt say, "Okay, then your second aunt and I will go to your store in the town in two days."
Take a look there for a moment."
Xiang Jin nodded, and not long after, the landlady served the food and followed everyone to eat.
