Chapter 14: : Egg Shih Tzu
Radish stewed in big stick bone soup.
The meat on the flesh is stewed, the soup is milky white, the radish stewed is soft, and there are no old tendons.
Even the soup and the vegetables are poured over the rice, and even the 6-year-old Taotao can eat a large bowl, let alone an adult. Xia Xiaolan insisted on adding a scrambled duck egg. Liu Yong said that she was her boss in business and let her take it as an example.
Xia Xiaolan thought, it is not good to pay for living directly. She can only subsidize the table at her uncle's house by herself, so she can't really eat and drink for nothing.
Fried wild duck eggs with tender leeks freshly cut in the ground, the smell of the leeks overwhelmed the smell of wild duck eggs.
"According to the method Xiaolan said, a little vinegar was added when the egg mixture was stirred, and it was really tender and soft, and it caught the taste of the egg."
Liu Fen was happy with Li Fengmei's boast.
They all said that Xia Xiaolan was not up to the task, had no life in her eyes, and she looked uneasy in her room. Liu Fen has never given up on her daughter. Now she has become sensible. How can she not be happy?
Xia Xiaolan also felt that the food at her uncle's house was pretty good.
Of course, she has eaten a lot of tall things in later generations. Considering the general living standard in rural areas in 1983, Liu Yong's food standard is already very high. This has something to do with Liu Yong's ability to make money now, and his willingness to take care of Xia Xiaolan's mother and daughter.
After lunch, Liu Yong ran out to work in the fields.
Now even Li Fengmei went down to the fields. Liu Fen wanted to go, and Liu Yong asked her to make more straw baskets at home.
"The time for Xiaolan to make money is only these two days. Don't delay her business."
Xia Xiaolan took that 28-bar new bicycle to relive the skills of getting off the bike. In her previous life, she had no elders to rely on. She relied on the sponsorship of well-wishers to go to school, and she relied on her own struggle to go out of society. She rode a bicycle for business in the winter, and it was easy to travel dozens of kilometers. Later, the position jumped up, and all the expenses of the out-of-town business trip were reimbursed, and she was also equipped with a car... and later, she bought a car by herself. She hasn't touched this kind of vintage bicycle for 20 years.
I was unskilled at first, and then I became more and more airy and smoother.
Taotao watched eagerly, but 6 years old was too young, Xia Xiaolan could only put him in the back seat, let the little kid hug her waist, she rode him in the village to play. Stopped by a familiar woman on the road:
"Xiaolan, I heard from my dad that you want to collect eggs. What's the price?"
Xia Xiaolan jumped out of the car to call someone:
"Auntie, I'm collecting eggs. It doesn't matter if the farmer is busy, everyone's eggs are not available to sell in the county. The weather is bad, so I will put them away and sell them to the county. Of course, I have to make some hard money. , Do you think 1 cent and 2 cents for an egg will do?"
The woman's husband's family name is Chen, and she is the fourth oldest, and they call her Chen Si Aunt.
Aunt Chen Si frowned when she heard the words, "I heard that the county seat can sell for 1 cents and 5 cents..."
Xia Xiaolan grinned and explained, "The price of eggs in the county is changing at any time. To tell you, sometimes it is 1 cents and 5 cents, and sometimes it is cheaper. In case it can't be sold, the road will be broken, and I will take too many eggs. Risk."
If you reach out and don't hit the smiley person, how can you run at a loss when doing business? There is wear and tear on the road. Besides, Qijing Village is far away from the county seat. It doesn't matter if you take a trip. When the farmer is busy, it will take a long time to go back and forth. Which one has this time!
"Sell you, I'll go home and get the eggs."
Who doesn't raise two hens who lay eggs? The money for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar depends on eggs. In summer, there are many grass seeds and small insects. The hens eat fat and fat, and two chickens can lay more than 20 eggs in half a month. Aunt Chen Si brought more than 20 eggs to Xia Xiaolan, and the money was settled now. She sold the eggs to Xia Xiaolan quickly spread throughout the village, and Xia Xiaolan's egg business was opened.
Liu Fen couldn't help speeding up the action of weaving the straw basket.
Xia Xiaolan spent more than a day collecting all the eggs from Qijing Village, and even the villagers next door delivered them to Liu's house.
Her capital is only 70 yuan, 400 eggs have been collected, and there are 200 wild duck eggs. How to save some living money on her body, Xia Xiaolan temporarily stopped.
Liu Fen has never seen so many eggs and duck eggs piled together.
The basket was full, and it looked shocking.
Liu Fen is very worried, afraid that these eggs will not be sold, and the whole family will not be able to eat them by then. Besides, who is extravagant to spend dozens of dollars on eggs to eat? It's worth more than a month's salary of an urban worker!
"I will bring 200 eggs and 100 wild duck eggs to the city tomorrow."
Without two big factories in Anqing County, Xia Xiaolan would not dare to collect so many eggs.
There are thousands of employees in the two big factories, and 300 eggs are easy to digest, provided that she can find a suitable outlet. Relying on the low efficiency of retail, Xia Xiaolan is thinking about finding a better sales channel... Although the official eggs are only 1.2 yuan per catty, the supply is seriously insufficient. The logistics department of some units is not able to buy cheap eggs, the doorway here is worth a try.
At night, even Li Fengmei helped to make straw baskets, cut dry straw into short sections, and stuffed the gaps with chaff, which finally increased the stability during transportation.
Taotao was so excited that he didn't sleep, waiting for Xia Xiaolan to take him into the city.
But destined to disappoint the little kid, Xia Xiaolan's mother and daughter set off at 5 o'clock in the morning.
Two people are more secure. Who makes Xia Xiaolan look too good-looking, Liu Fen is not at ease, and Liu Yong is not at ease.
Riding a bicycle greatly shortened the time to go to the city, and the sky was bright when the duck eggs were sold last time. Today, the small market outside the agricultural machinery factory is extremely sluggish, and the villagers are busy with the work in the field, and they have no time to come to the county to sell things.
As soon as Xia Xiaolan parked the car, she was recognized by her old acquaintances.
She is eye-catching and easy to do, and no one who has ever dealt with her will forget it.
"Oh, are you here to sell eggs again?"
"Auntie, do you still buy eggs today? There are eggs!"
"The duck eggs I bought two days ago have not been eaten yet."
Xia Xiaolan didn't let potential customers go, "Duck eggs are very delicious when they make preserved eggs and salted duck eggs. When it comes to steaming and frying, you still need eggs."
She opened her back basket, and the eggs lined up neatly, as if she was talking about eating me, the aunt could not help swallowing. She did soak the wild duck eggs that she bought last time. Would you like to buy a few more eggs?
Xia Xiaolan saw that she was tempted.
"I sell eggs for a quarter and a half. You are a regular customer, so let's count as a quarter for you. Wild duck eggs are still sold the previous two days."
In state-run stores, eggs cost 1.2 yuan per catty, depending on the size of the eggs, 8-10 eggs per catty. They are cheaper than those sold by Xia Xiaolan, but they also have to have sufficient supply. Cheap eggs are not easy to buy!
This aunt did not resist Xia Xiaolan's lobbying, and finally bought 10 eggs.
Xia Xiaolan's business will get better when the workers who go to work show up on bicycles one after another. She stood there graciously, leaning on that face to provoke others to look twice, and when she looked twice, she asked people to buy eggs? I don't want the fellows who come to sell things at all, they are always sneaking, as if they are thief.
While the workers at the farm machinery factory were at work, Xia Xiaolan sold almost the eggs she brought.
"You see, it's actually quite safe. I will enter the city by myself tomorrow."
There must be someone at home to collect the eggs. It's not easy to trouble Aunt Xia Xiaolan all the time. They also have their own jobs. After collecting the eggs near Qijing Village, I had to go elsewhere. Two people came to the county seat together and delayed a labor force.
Liu Fen is stupid, and Xia Xiaolan can't say what she persuades people to buy. Xia Xiaolan can only run to the county seat.
Xia Xiaolan sold out all the eggs after 9 o'clock in the morning, and she was going to change to the outside of the Roulian Factory tomorrow. I picked up a lot of gross votes, but according to her purchase price, she must have made money today. Despite being careful, a few eggs were crushed, and these wear and tear were unavoidable.
The farmers rushing to harvest rice are busy, and Xia Xiaolan's business of reselling eggs is in full swing. Some people call her an "egg Xi Shi". With this reputation, Xia Xiaolan was targeted by someone with a heart!
