At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiang Jin's second uncle and second aunt came back with her mother with a few bags of food.
There were steamed buns and rice noodles. They put the things on the table, and then her aunt asked Yang Hui and the others to divide them up and give them to Aunt Liao and Grandma Mo later.
Her grandmother asked, "Is business bad today?"
Xiang Jin and her second uncle nodded, "We forgot that school will be on vacation starting today, so the steamed buns were steamed a little too much today. Plus, we were not on the scene today. By half time in the afternoon, there were no more steamed buns on the street.
Who are you, my eldest brother and sister-in-law asked us to come back, saying that you are probably still here, and asked us to pick you up and go back together."
Her grandmother nodded and said, "You came back just in time. The sausages have been packed. I'm worried that Yang Hui and Yang Zhao won't be able to carry them. I'll wait for you two to carry them."
Her second uncle and second aunt responded.
Then Xiang Jin and her grandmother asked, "What about Ju Yun? How is Ju Yun's business today? Do you have any left?"
Xiang Jin's mother said, "I'm okay. I only have two pieces of meat and a few braised eggs left, so I brought them back for the children to eat."
After saying that, her mother said she was going to cook and would come back after they had eaten early.
Her grandmothers didn't refuse, so her second aunt said to help her.
Xiang Jin's grandfather was in the vegetable field picking vegetables for them to take home later, and her second uncle also went to help him.
Xiang Jin and her grandmother had nothing to do, so she took bags and packed the ingredients they brought back. After sorting them, she asked Yang Hui and Yang Zhao to quickly deliver them to Aunt Liao and Grandma Mo.
Yang Zhao felt a little embarrassed, and then went to invite Xiang Jin, "Sister, how about you come with me?"
Seeing his coquettish look, Xiang Jin couldn't help but joke, "Isn't it true that you usually quarrel with me? Why do you lose control at the critical moment?"
Yang Zhao blushed and argued, "I'm not familiar with them, aren't I?"
Xiang Jin curled his lips and said, "Don't make excuses. When you were at school, you came here for dinner every day, and you weren't familiar with Yan Chen? Then at Aunt Liao's house, you have eaten at their house several times. What's wrong with that?"
Are you familiar? I think you are just a dog with its tail between its legs and you don’t stand out!"
Yang Zhao lowered his head and said nothing, and said to Xiang Jin, "Hey, Yang Zhao, you can't do this. What's your future if you just stay in the nest?"
Xiang Jin, her grandmother and Yang Hui beside her all laughed. Yang Zhao's face turned even redder, and then he walked over, grabbed her arm and dragged her out, "Oh, I don't care, you have to accompany me this time."
!”
Xiang Jin followed him passively, and then couldn't help but roll his eyes at the sky, "I said, you didn't even take anything!"
"Oh oh oh," Yang Zhao quickly let go of her, then turned back to get something, but he stopped after taking two steps.
Seeing his frown, Xiang Jin asked, "What's wrong?"
Yang Zhao picked up the things in his hands and said, "Sister, please find me a basket, it doesn't look good carrying it like this!"
Xiang Jin was speechless, "You are quite serious about saving face. Okay, go get it by yourself in the small room next to the kitchen."
"Oh, okay, okay," he quickly picked up those things and put them into Xiang Jin's hands, and then ran away.
When Yang Hui saw this, he shouted at Yang Zhao's back, "Bring one out for me too!"
But Yang Zhao didn't answer him!
The three of them carried the basket and went out. Yang Hui went to Grandma Mo's house, while Yang Zhao dragged Xiang Jin to Aunt Liao's house.
However, there was no one at Aunt Liao's house when they went there, and the door was locked.
Yang Zhao held the basket and asked Xiang Jin, "Sister, what should I do?"
Xiang Jin said, "It's probably in the fields. Just wait here while I go down to the shed to take a look."
"oh!"
Xiang Jin walked to the opening of the shed and saw Aunt Liao watering the vegetables with a bucket.
"Auntie, auntie?"
Aunt Liao heard someone calling her, so she raised her head and said, "Hey, girl Jin, is it you?" She put down the bucket and walked towards her.
Xiang Jin said, "It's okay, just water yours and I'll come in and take a look. I've never seen it in your greenhouse before."
Aunt Liao just laughed and said, "Okay, then you can come in and take a look. If there is anything that is not done well, you can give me some advice and she will change it!"
Xiang Jin said, "Then I don't dare. I can only put forward a theory. You guys have to do this practical operation yourself. Alas, aunt, these vegetables of yours are growing really well, they are crispy, tender and tender."
Yes, it’s green!”
Aunt Liao laughed again, "Really? Then you see which ones you like, you can grab some and eat them later!"
Xiang Jin said, "We have one at home too!"
Aunt Liao said, "Your family doesn't have celery or garlic sprouts. You can bring some of these vegetables back to eat later. This fried pork is delicious and fragrant!"
"Okay!" Xiang Jin agreed directly without delaying!
After Aunt Liao poured the last few ladles of water in the bucket on the vegetable seedlings, she asked Xiang Jin, "Why did you come here to see Auntie?"
Xiang Jin said, "It's okay. My uncle and aunt are just back from town. They brought you some buns, steamed buns and rice noodles, and asked my cousin to deliver them to you."
"Oh, where is your cousin waiting outside?" Aunt Liao put down the bucket and ladle at once, and then hurriedly walked outside, while still scolding herself, "Hey
, look at this, you let the child stand outside for so long, how cold is it?"
Xiang Jin comforted her and said, "It's okay. He is wearing thick clothes and a scarf and gloves. He won't be cold."
Aunt Liao said, "It's still cold!"
Aunt Liao returned to the yard and saw Yang Zhao, so she greeted him, "Is this Zhao Xiaozi? Did you come to Jin Yatou's house to play today?"
Yang Zhao blushed and nodded, then called Aunt Liao in a low voice, and then handed her the basket in her hand, "Aunt Liao, my grandma asked me to bring it."
Aunt Liao took it, "Is your milk here too?"
Yang Zhao nodded again, "Well, our family slaughtered the New Year pig yesterday and sent the meat to my aunt and the others."
"Have you finished dealing with all the pigs in your family? I heard that the three of you have more than ten pigs in total. You are very capable. You used to take care of so many pigs by yourself."
Yang Zhao nodded, "Well, it's all taken care of."
Aunt Liao nodded, "Well, that's good. Now you can relax."
"yes!"
Aunt Liao carried the basket into the house to put things away, but Yang Zhao left Xiang Jin a word and ran away.
"Sister, you can bring that basket back later. I'm leaving first!"
"Hey, this kid," Xiang Jin couldn't help but smile helplessly when she saw that the place he ran to was actually Grandma Mo's house.
Aunt Liao came out after putting things away and asked, "Where is Zhao Xiaozi?"
Xiang Jin pursed her lips in the direction of Grandma Mo's house and said, "Going to play with Yan Chen."
Aunt Liao looked over there, and sure enough she saw Yan Chen and Yang Hui standing in Grandma Mo's yard, as well as Yang Zhao, who was in her yard just now.
So I couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that boys still like to play with boys!"
Xiang Jin thinks so too!
"Let's go, Auntie will get you some celery to eat!"
"Okay!" Xiang Jin responded.
So the two of them went to the ground together.
When Xiang Jin came out of the greenhouse, there were no more people in Grandma Mo's yard.
She originally wanted to say hello to them, but now it seemed that it was unnecessary.
Seeing that she brought back such a large bag of celery and garlic sprouts, her grandmother asked, "Why did your aunt give you so much?"
Xiang Jin said, "I've allocated some for you."
Her grandmother sighed helplessly, "Your aunt is just like that, very polite."
Xiang Jin said, "Oh, if she dials the number, just keep it, otherwise she will feel bad if she keeps eating our food and doesn't return the favor."
Her grandmother nodded.
After a while, Yang Hui and Yang Zhao came back with a basket of mushrooms, saying that Yan Chen and his grandparents gave them to them to try. Xiang Jin and her grandmother were dumbfounded, "Look, this one
Both of them have caused trouble for them."
Xiang Jin comforted him with a smile, "It's okay, we'll just reciprocate to them when the time comes."
Xiang Jin and her grandmother called Yang Zhaoti back to the kitchen and asked Xiang Jin and her mothers to fry some at night.
Grandma Mo and her family grow white mushrooms, commonly known as straw mushrooms. The most remarkable feature of this mushroom is that its growth cycle is relatively short. It can be picked in fifteen to twenty days. Although it is not very big, it is similar to
It is plump and has a fresh and smooth texture. It tastes delicious when fried with meat. In my previous life, Xiang Jin and his family loved to buy this mushroom.
"Oh, okay!" Yang Zhao responded happily.
Xiang Jin felt more and more that Yang Zhao and Xiang Lan were on the same path. Both of them paid great attention to their appetites and were very positive as long as they had delicious food!
Sure enough, during dinner, there were four of the eight or nine dishes on the table that were the most popular, one with celery and fragrant dried stir-fried pork, one with the braised vegetables and eggs that her mother brought back, one with sliced sausages, and one with...
The mushroom stir-fried pork, especially the last mushroom stir-fried pork, is basically one of their favorite dishes.
A young man made a round meal. The adults only had two chopsticks each. Even Xiang Jin only had three chopsticks. Among the young men, especially Yang Zhao, he ate the most. In the end, he even had all the food on the plate.
The remaining juice from the fried meat with mushrooms was mixed clean by Yang Zhao directly with the white rice.
Xiang Jin felt that his behavior was really annoying, so he asked, "Is it that delicious?"
In fact, what she wanted to say was that when she went out in the future, she would never say it was her cousin. It was really shameful. His behavior was really no different from licking the plate, but because the elders were there, and she felt
You still have to give others some face, so as not to hurt their self-esteem!
Yang Zhao nodded his head, "Yeah, yeah, it's delicious. This fried pork with mushrooms is really delicious. It's fragrant and delicious, tender and smooth. I've never eaten such delicious mushrooms."
Yang Xu said, "It seems like you have eaten many kinds of mushrooms?"
Xiang Lan also wrinkled his nose and said, "That's right!"
"Hey, you two little guys, I haven't eaten before, have you still eaten?" Yang Zhao saw the unconvinced looks the two of them gave him and glared at them.
Xiang Lan said, "I've never eaten mushrooms before. It's not like you're bragging. It's obviously the first time you've eaten mushrooms, so you have to make it sound like you've eaten many kinds of mushrooms many times!"
"Hey, Xiang Lan, you little girl, what are you talking about? Who is bragging? I should just eat several kinds of mushrooms, okay?" Yang Zhao put down his chopsticks, a little unconvinced!
Xiang Lan said, "It would be weird to believe you!"
Yang Zhao said, "If you don't believe me, why are you asking about milk?"
Seeing them bickering, the adults all laughed, and then Xiang Jin and her grandmother said, "He came here after eating several kinds of mushrooms. You were still young at that time. Once, there was a wedding at your aunt's house. I
Take him to visit relatives. The boy from your aunt's family, your cousin, is there.
A soldier from the Northeast sent back some fungus, wild mushrooms, and the like. Of course, they were all dry goods. There were several kinds. They used those things when they held banquets, and then
We only had chicken stewed with mushrooms and fried mountain mushrooms.”
Yang Zhao looked at Xiang Lan with a proud look on his face, "How about it? Let me tell you what I've eaten before, right?"
Xiang Lan snorted and turned his face to one side, "Isn't it just that I ate two more kinds of fungi? What's so big about it?"
Yang Zhao showed a look of disdain, "Humph, I know you are jealous of me, but I'm too lazy to argue with you." After saying that, he looked at his father, "Master, look at Aunt Liao and their family.
Celery, Yan Chen’s grandparents grew mushrooms, and both of these vegetables can be sold at good prices. Why don’t you grow some too? That way our family can eat these vegetables regularly in the future!"
Several other little guys also looked at the old man expectantly and nodded one after another!
The old man looked at a few people in a circle and then smiled and said, "If they are all planted, then they are worthless."
Xiang Jin nodded in agreement with what her grandfather said, "Yes, the reason why celery and mushrooms are more expensive in this season is because they are rare. As the saying goes, things are more valuable when they are rare. If everyone grows the same vegetables
, then the price will not be so high by then. You see, just like the radishes and cabbages in our fields, they are all over the streets. Which one is rare?
Besides, mushrooms are not that easy to grow. They are very affected by factors such as temperature and humidity. If you don’t grasp it well, all your efforts may be wasted.”
Then Yang Zhao said, "Didn't Yan Chen and his grandfather plant it?"
Xiang Jin's grandfather said angrily, "Then Yan Chen's grandfather is a man of culture and knows knowledge, but you and I are just stupid!"
Yang Zhao curled his lips and said, "You don't understand, you can ask him for advice. Aren't you all growing in the greenhouse together?"
Xiang Jin and her grandfather glared at him!
Yang Zhao snorted and turned his head away.
Xiang Jin laughed and said, "Yang Zhao, you think things are too simple and take things for granted. According to what you said, if others grow greenhouse vegetables with us, then we must share things and information?
Can’t people hide something private?
Why? You make your money and others make other people’s money, so why doesn’t your money go into other people’s pockets?”
The corner of Yang Zhao's mouth moved slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end it only turned into a deep breath. Xiang Jin knew that he was still a little unconvinced, so he continued, "To put it more vividly, let's say someone comes to you.
I asked you how to make the roujiamo and fried rice noodles, are you willing to give them?"
Yang Zhao said without thinking, "Of course not!"
Xiang Jin said, "That's it, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Don't you understand such a simple truth? No matter how good the relationship between others is with you, they are separated from each other, just like you
My second uncle’s family, your family and our family belong to each family. It is impossible for your family’s money to go to our family, and it is impossible for our family’s money to go to your family.
Yes, you have to control your own money.
I think grandpa's attitude of not following the trend is very correct. Aunt Liao planted celery and garlic seedlings, and Grandpa Zeng and others planted mushrooms, so they will inevitably reduce the planting of other vegetables. Grandpa only needs to stick to the few vegetables we have.
As long as they grow well, if one of their families sells celery and garlic seedlings well, and one family sells mushrooms well, then our family will also sell well of vegetables.
Even if grandpa wants to plant new vegetables, I think we can plant more tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, and peppers early next year. In addition, we can also plant some greenhouse corn, which is not available in winter.
It is extremely rare and rare to be able to eat fresh corn in early winter. Corn is also relatively stable, and when planting corn, you can also plant some cowpeas, which can also be sold for some money."
Her grandmother and grandfather heard this and immediately asked, "Can we grow corn in winter?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "You can grow many crops as long as you grow them in a greenhouse. If you feel that it is not a good idea to plant this in a greenhouse for the first time, you can plant it early, in mid-to-late August.
It’s time to plant. We are located in the northwest, Yu
The growth cycle of rice is generally three to four months, so planting at this time is just right for harvesting around November. However, when planting, you must choose the kind that is extremely plump. That way,
The corn cobs that grow out are strong and have full kernels.”
Her grandparents nodded, and her grandfather said, "Okay, then I will plant a few plots and try it out."
Her second uncle and second aunt were very excited after hearing this, and their eyes were shining brightly. Then her second aunt said, "Oh, Jin girl, how come your brain is so good?"
Yeah? Then you can give us some ideas to see if our business can be improved."
Xiang Jin said, "Isn't your business doing very well? How can you improve it?"
Her second aunt said, "It's very good, but it's also during the beginning of school. You see, the students are on vacation, and our business will suddenly stop."
Xiang Jin said, "Actually, it's mainly because we don't do it every day, but only every two days, so the business during these two days is particularly cold."
Her second aunt hurriedly said, "That's right, you see, the students have a winter vacation for more than a month, and a summer vacation lasts for more than two months. You said these three months are just a matter of time."
The meeting was relatively indifferent, so we discussed it with your uncles and aunts to see if we could do something else during this period.
But you also know that uncles and aunts are stupid and can't come up with any good ideas, so my dear niece, you are smart and read more books, so you can think about it for your aunts and watch us during this period.
What else can you do here?"
Xiang Jin lowered his eyes and sighed, "Then I will help you think about it these few days. If you think of it, I will tell you when the time comes."
"Oh, okay, okay!" Her second uncle and second aunts responded quickly.
In fact, Xiang Jin did have some ideas, but she didn't plan to tell them now, not to whet their appetite, but because she wanted to test those ideas again, and then she would have to teach them the specific production methods, which would cost some money.
time.
The most important thing is that she has more important things to do these days, which is the batch of clothing design draft orders she has received from Yan Chen.
She has already wasted a day today. In the next few days, she will work with Yan Chen to finalize the design draft, otherwise they will be delayed for most of the day when they go back to school to get the notice and exam papers.
.
In seven days, she actually only had five and a half days to produce eight design drafts. Although it was not difficult for her, the drawings would ultimately be drawn by Yan Chen, and she had to give them to him.
Leave some extra time.
There was no way she could abandon her business and make a lot of money and just focus on their business, which made more than 100 or 200 yuan a day, right? So their affairs had to be postponed later.
So when Yang Hui, Yang Zhao, Yang Xu, and Yang Xin went back, her mother and Xiang Lan kept trying to persuade them to stay and play at their house for a few more days, without Xiang Jin even saying a polite word.
, because she cannot be disturbed or interfered with in the past few days, and people are talkative, and she doesn’t want this matter to be known to them.
Because of this, her mother even pulled her to a hiding place and chatted for a while, "You kid, when your grandma and cousin left just now, why didn't you ask them to stay for a few more days, even if
It’s okay to tell a few lies, but why do you think your second uncle and second aunts are so mean, thinking your child doesn’t like them playing in our house?!”
Xiang Jin rolled his eyes to the sky speechlessly, "That's what you think. Besides, I had no intention of keeping them at all. I wanted to keep them here. There will be many opportunities in the future, so why did I choose these days?"
Oh my god? I also want to use the latest time to finish all the homework before the New Year. I don’t want to have to do homework during the Chinese New Year.
Besides, they can have as many ideas as they want. I helped them come up with all the ways to make money, and I rented the business facade for them out of my own pocket. I'm so generous to them.
If they still want to think about it, then I can't help it. To put it bluntly, I don't have the obligation to take care of so much for them!"
Yang Juyun said, "You kid?!"
Xiang Jin said, "Originally, I think that's just because you are overthinking it. Maybe my second uncle and my second aunt think that the reason why I don't let them stay is because I want to make money for them.
Fazi doesn’t want to be disturbed?”
Her mother sighed, "Oh... forget it, they all went back anyway!"
Xiang Jin turned around and left, and then went directly to wash up. She would add some more pictures later and discuss them with Yan Chen tomorrow.
