Rebirth of farming for a living

Chapter 17 Grandma is Here



Li Qiuyan got up and took a look at his small clay pot first, which seemed a bit interesting.Just put down the lid and go out to find Mr. Wang.

By chance, Mrs. Wang came in carrying a basket.Wang's freshly steamed cornmeal steamed buns were golden and soft today.Li Qiuyan ate three braised pork dishes in a row.It made Mr. Wang laugh all the time.

The family had eaten and drank enough, and was about to set off after packing up, when they saw an ox cart coming from a distance.Li Qiuyan looked at it for a long time and felt that the people on the bullock cart looked familiar. "It's uncle and aunt." Awang clapped his hands.The bullock cart was getting closer and closer, and Li Qiuyan could see clearly that there were two baskets of honeysuckle on the cart, and Grandma Zhao was sitting behind it.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly pushed the cart back and let everyone enter the house.

Seeing Wang Daniu carrying two full baskets into the house, Li Xiangnan couldn't sit still: "Brother, what are you doing?"

I saw two chopped pheasants in the basket, a bag of rice, and a bag of white flour.A package of fungus, two bunches of dried mushrooms, and a large package of red dates.

"Daniu is coming to deliver honeysuckle, so I came with him since I had nothing to do at home." Mrs. Zhao hugged Awang and kissed him for a while.

"Yanyan, why did you give your uncle so many copper coins?" My aunt said quickly, "It was your idea in the first place. If we take half of it, it will be a lot."

"Although I can sell it, I can't make that many. One family doesn't speak the same language." Li Qiuyan said.

"That won't work. Your family is in trouble. We have to go all the way. You can't let us pick up something ready-made." My aunt is usually very happy, but this time she was really embarrassed.

"Grandma, uncle, aunt." Li Qiuyan called a circle of people: "I know in my heart that there are only these wild honeysuckles. When the villagers find out that they can make money, I'm afraid they won't be able to pick them next year. After all, they are ownerless. Let’s sell the things like this first. Picking cocoa for me only costs you money." Li Qiuyan said with a smile.

"This is not appropriate." The eldest aunt was still hesitating.

"That's it. You don't need to send them away for the next few days. Go and pick more. If someone picks more in the future, you will collect it as I said. No matter how much you charge, I will charge it at 35 per pound. Yours." Li Qiuyan said.

"Then can they sell it to us? What if we sell it directly to Deshengtang?" Li Xiangnan was a little hesitant.Look at the other people looking at you eagerly.Li Qiuyan smiled: "The contract with Deshengtang clearly states that Lonicera only accepts what I send."

After hearing this, everyone felt relieved.

After saying this, Wang Daniu said: "I saw you were going to town just now, let's go to Qingyun Town to send honeysuckle together."

Li Qiuyan told the story of selling pigs into the water.

Ms. Zhao frowned: "Is that thing edible?" Seeing that her uncle and aunt also looked unconvinced, Li Qiuyan said, "It's not too late to go to town after lunch."

Since she was going to town, Wang didn't stew the chicken.The braised pig meat was ready, Wang simmered the rice, and Li Qiuyan fried some Chinese cabbage and started the meal.

"This stuff tastes really good." Wang Daniu praised it profusely. "The rice mixed with soup is also delicious." My aunt ate without raising her head.

"It wouldn't be a bad idea to sell this," Zhao said.

"It must be easy to sell. A meat bun costs two cents. Buying such a spoonful of meat is much more satisfying than buying a bun." Wang Daniu said.

Seeing everyone's support, Li Qiuyan felt more confident.She also felt that two cents a spoon was too cheap. In her previous life, this thing was much more expensive than pork.But if that's the case, the raw materials will definitely be expensive.Think about it and it’s balanced.

"Uncle, aunt, grandma, what do you think you need to sell it?" Although Li Qiuyan has almost the idea, he also wants to hear everyone's opinions.

"I want a big spoon." Nga Wang shouted.

Li Qiuyan twisted his little face: "Awang is awesome." Awang smiled shyly.

"I'm not worried about the warm weather now, but in winter, I'm afraid it will be heated up." Wang Daniu said.

"Then buy a big earthen pot, which won't get cold easily and can also be heated," said Zhao.

Several people talked to each other in a lively manner.Mrs. Wang asked Li Qiuyan if there was anything else he wanted to add.

Li Qiuyan pondered for a while and said: "Mom, every time you buy, buy more offal and salt it. Just in case there is not enough to sell or you can't buy it. Also, today we will make an agreement with the butcher. Leave the water for us."

Mrs. Wang nodded a little uneasily: "Okay, what if no one buys it?" "It tastes so good, how come no one buys it. You let people taste it first, and I'm sure it will sell well after tasting it." Cheng said.

Li Qiuyan thought to himself that he had really ignored this matter. He looked at Li Xiangnan who was a little depressed because he could not participate in it: "Then leave this matter to your father. You can cut some thin sticks at home." Li Xiangnan seemed to be on stimulants: "give it to me."

After placing some bamboo and tools on Li Xiangnan's Kang, the group set off for Qingyun Town.
