When they arrived at the mouth of the bay, Yan Chen handed Xiang Jin his share of white sugar.
"You can take this back home. My grandpa has three heights. My grandma rarely eats sweets. I don't like sweets, so our family basically doesn't eat sweets."
Xiang Jin said, "Then you can give it away?"
Yan Chen said, "I will give it to you now."
Xiang Jin said, "No, I mean you can give it to others. We have candy at home and we have sold some before."
Yan Chen stuffed it into her hand and said, "Then take it to Aunt Liao."
Xiang Jin said, "Aunt Liao also has sugar. When we moved to their house not long ago, we weighed five kilograms of white sugar for her. She should still have it now."
Yan Chen said, "Then take it back with your grandparents."
Xiang Jin said, "They also have candy. Not long ago, before our house was laid on the foundation, my mother went back to her parents' house, and then she also weighed it with my grandparents."
Yan Chen said, "Then take it and give it to the craftsmen to drink."
Xiang Jinjiu said, "The craftsmen will become thirsty easily after drinking this. They like to drink tea."
Yan Chen didn't understand this, and then he felt a little uncomfortable, and then sighed, "Oh, just take it, you can do whatever you want with it, we are too lazy to give it away to others.
If you really feel sorry for it, then you can make braised pork sausage for us again when you have time, my grandpa always talks about the taste."
Xiang Jin nodded, "That's no problem, okay then," then Xiang Jin tilted the backpack on her back, and Yan Chen took the bag of white sugar from her hand and carefully put it in.
"Then we'll leave at the same time tomorrow?" Xiang Jin followed.
"good!"
When Xiang Jin got home, she saw her grandmother helping her saw bamboo tubes in the courtyard. She walked over quickly and said, "Grandma?"
"Come back?" Her grandmother raised a smile when she saw her.
Xiang Jin put the basket on the ground and said, "Grandma, why are you sawing?"
Her grandmother said, "I have nothing to do anyway. I know you need to use these things every day, so I went to the back hillside to cut the bamboo back, and then helped you prepare it. You are too lazy to go up the slope."
Drill it, it will save you some time."
Xiang Jinxian was immediately moved, and then gave her grandmother a big hug, "Grandma, you are so kind, thank you!"
Her grandma laughed, then patted her hand, "Okay, let go, don't delay grandma's work."
"Oh," Xiang Jin let go of her grandmother.
Then her grandmother casually glanced at the large bag of white sugar she put in the basket in front of her, "What, you bought white sugar again?"
"Oh, no, it was a gift," Xiang Jin responded.
"A gift from someone? Who? Who is so generous?" Her grandmother wondered. After all, she knew very well what kind of relatives their family had and which relatives were close.
"It was a gift from the boss who bought our goods."
"He gave it to me? Why did he give it to me?" her grandmother continued to ask.
Then Xiang Jin told her that the boss asked them to deliver more goods every day, which made them a little embarrassed, and the boss felt a little sorry, so he told her about giving each of them a bag of sugar.
Her grandmother suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's what happened?"
Xiang Jin said, "Yes, grandma, we have two bags of this candy. The one is under the back basket, covered by the oilcloth. The top bag is Yan Chen's share. He said that Grandpa Zeng had three
Gao doesn't eat sweets. Grandma Mo rarely eats sweets, and he doesn't like sweets, so his family basically doesn't eat sweets, so he gave his share to me. In the afternoon, we asked my uncle to take all the sweets.
go back."
Her grandmother refused and said, "Oh, that won't work, that won't work. You keep it for yourselves. We still have some. The candies your mother bought back last time are still sitting there and haven't been touched yet."
Xiang Jin said, "It's okay. You just put it there and eat it slowly. If you really can't finish it, it's the same as giving it away. The two aunts should still go to their parents' homes, right? If they go to their parents' homes, they won't have to buy more.
Already.
We couldn't finish it at home. Xiang Nan is having her teeth replaced now, so she has to have a lot. My mother and I don't like to eat sweets very much. We bought some for Aunt Liao last time, so we probably haven't finished them yet.
"
Her grandmother interrupted her and said, "What? Your Aunt Liao probably didn't get any candy. Last time we went back with her, I saw that she was carrying a bag of candy in her backpack. I guess she was
I took the candy you gave her back to my parents’ house.”
Xiang Jin said, "Oh, that's it? Okay, I'll share some with her later."
Then her grandmother reminded her and said, "For example, your Wan Tou, your Sixth Master, and your Bingchong dads usually have a pretty good relationship with your family, but you still have to move around for a while sometimes."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes, I know, but it seems a bit unreasonable for someone who is not annual and unfaithful to suddenly send several kilograms of sugar to others? In what name?"
Xiang Jin and her grandmother suddenly frowned, "Yeah, it's not the right time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's still early for the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Suddenly Xiang Jin thought of a way, "I know, don't we just have to break up the grain in a few days? Then we can ask people from their two families to come and help us, and then we can express our gratitude in the name of
Send a few pounds of candy to their family."
Her grandmother nodded and said, "Oh, this method works."
Then Xiang Jin said, "Okay, grandma, I won't give you this candy. Then we can give it away to others?"
Her grandmother said, "No, no, I have candy at home, why should I give it to you?"
"Hey, grandma, our family hasn't cooked yet, right?" Xiang Jin picked up the bamboo pole and walked into the house, then asked again.
Her grandmother said, "When your Aunt Liao saw that I was busy, she told me that she would make lunch. But don't worry, lunch today is not complicated. It's just kelp and winter melon stew, and then I'll add vermicelli to it."
"
Xiang Jin nodded, then went back to the house and started making bamboo tubes. They were really pressed for time and couldn't afford to be lazy, so she had to race against time to finish the work.
Just before she drilled a few holes, Xiang Nan rushed in from the outside with a bamboo pole, "Sister, sister?"
"Why are you so surprised?"
Xiang Nan put the bamboo basket in front of her, "Sister, look, these are the potato seeds I dug today. Plus the ones I dug a few days ago, it's at least two or three kilograms, right? You go out to the streets tomorrow.
Can you help me take it to sell when I arrive?"
Xiang Jin shook his head and said, "If you can't sell it tomorrow, the town won't be there tomorrow. The pharmacy won't open until the day after tomorrow. I'll take it to you and sell it for you the day after tomorrow."
"Oh, okay, okay, okay," the little girl suddenly became happy and nodded in response, her missing teeth even showing.
Xiang Jin asked, "I can't see your people these days, so why are you digging for this?"
The little girl nodded solemnly, "Yeah, yeah, you are making money for the family every day, but I am playing every day. I also want to make some money for the family through my own efforts to support the family. I look at our family's grain harvest
They were almost ripe, so I wasn’t afraid of damaging the seedlings by digging around in that bag of grain, so I went to dig them.”
After Xiang Jin heard what she said, he suddenly felt that she was a lot more sensible, so after looking at her for a while, he said, "You don't have to worry about things at home. You just need to take care of your studies. I will
Let me ask you, how are you doing with your summer homework?"
The little girl immediately lowered her head, hesitating and not daring to look into her eyes, "Yes, there is one more thing."
Xiang Jin looked at her pitiful look, fearing that he would teach her a lesson, and said, "Go ahead, wash your hands and face, and then put on clean clothes. Look at what you look like.
Covered in dust and cornflowers, he looks like a little beggar?"
"well!"
Seeing her turning around happily and about to run out, Xiang Jin quickly stopped her and said, "Get changed and go do your homework."
"Oh, I got it," the little girl's tone was a little wistful. Suddenly she turned around and walked over and said, "Sister, I almost forgot just now that Xiang Yao and several of their other friends are here today.
Everyone asked me.
Ask me why you have been running to the street every day these days. I said that our family had pulled some herbs and dried them in the sun before. Then you went to sell the herbs because there were too many herbs to carry all at once, so you got points.
Sold in batches.”
Xiang Jin's lips curled up into a smile, "You know how to lie?"
Xiang Nan said, "Of course. As you said, our family makes money by making this corn-husking object. We can't let others know about it. Otherwise, what will we do if others steal our business? I'm not stupid.
Woolen cloth!"
The smile on Xiang Jin's face became a little thicker, "Well, you are not stupid."
Xiang Nan continued, "But they also asked about Brother Yan and said that Brother Yan has been going to town every day these days. In the past, he didn't carry a basket on his back, but in recent days, he has been carrying a basket on his back every day.
And every time I go out with you and come back together, you ask me what’s going on?”
Xiang Jin asked, "Then how did you answer?"
Xiang Nan said, "I said that Brother Yan seems to be studying here. It is probably some things that his family mailed to him. There were a lot of them. I couldn't twist them all with my hands, so I had to wear a backpack to get them back.
, and then I said he would help you bring some herbs to the street in the morning."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, that's right. When people ask about it in the future, you can just say that, or just say that your brother Yan sometimes goes shopping on the street for Grandma Mo and the others."
"Yes, I understand!" The little girl nodded seriously.
"Okay, let's go!"
"Um!"
The little girl ran out in a hurry, and Xiang Jin thought that it seemed that they had attracted the attention of others when they went to town every day. Her original wish to make a fortune quietly was probably in vain.
It seems that they are going to hurry up on the next batch of goods.
There are a few people in Baytou who don't like them. If they know that those corn-husking objects are made by them, someone will definitely buy them immediately, take them apart, study them, and then make them themselves.
If the other party goes to the market to sell it at a price lower than what they are currently offering, wouldn't that be robbing them of their business?
Although she doesn't expect this business to continue forever, she at least wants to ensure the profits of the two orders that have been placed, right?
So before they knew it, she had to hand over all the goods for these two orders.
So, after lunch, Xiang Jin went to Grandma Mo's house and told Yan Chen about the matter. Yan Chen told her to rest assured that they would be able to finish the goods in advance.
