Chapter 5

"The food delivery guy hasn't come yet? Our supermarket is about to open today. Don't lose the chain at the critical moment."

"I think your dad was crippled by someone, isn't it just some vegetables and radishes, a few baskets of vegetables and radishes were batched at the Xingbei Vegetable Wholesale Market, and it will soon be ready, and he has to go to the old lady in the village to buy them, is he sick? "Under the signboard of Xu's Fresh Food Supermarket, a middle-aged woman with a big belly yelled at the door arrogantly, directing her son and husband around.

The middle-aged woman’s surname is Zhang, and her name is Zhang Yunna. She used to play mahjong, rub cards, and gamble for a small amount of money by the riverside every day. Her husband, Xu Liang, runs a shoe repair stall in the old street. , Their family also bought a house in Liunan New District. The family planned to rent a shop in the new district and open a fresh food supermarket.

Liunan New District is a newly developed urban area in the county. The houses are brand new and the roads are spacious. The county government has moved here a long time ago, and there are parks, plazas and gymnasiums nearby. One can imagine what the future will be like bustling.

However, the first batch of residents in Liunan New Area have been living in for a year now, and the new area is still not lively. The Xu family bought a new house in the second phase of Liunan, and they lived in it for three months before intermittently having breakfast downstairs. There are no shops that sell fresh vegetables.

People in Liunan New District want to buy vegetables and cook, as before, they go to the Chengnan vegetable market two kilometers away.

The members of the Xu family thought about it, this is a huge business opportunity, and it is much more convenient to buy vegetables and cook downstairs than to go to the south of the city market.

The family rented a shop and planned to open a fresh food supermarket.

"Hey, mom, look, here comes the food."

The old god Zhang Yunna was on the ground directing her husband to unload the goods, frowning and trying to pick and choose to ridicule her incompetent husband, but looking at the fresh green vegetables and fruits in the vegetable basket, she really couldn't find anything wrong .

She took a tomato, didn't wash it, took a bite, her eyes lit up, "This tomato is delicious."

Husband Xu Liang glanced at her proudly, "Let's just say that the organic farm food is delicious. I ate it at the village chief's house last time."

"Now the quality of life of the people in the county has improved, and they have begun to pay attention to what they eat. Look at the vegetables of this quality? Is our family still worried about selling them?"

Zhang Yunna finished eating the tomatoes in her mouth, and gave her husband a rare face. Obviously, she also recognized what Xu Liang said.

"Come on, come and help us, our shop is about to open."

Su Juying is a nurse in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the County Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital. She just worked the night shift and was exhausted. She couldn't wait to go home and lie on the bed for a nap. She yawned and drove straight home on a small electric donkey.

Her family moved to Liunan New District two months ago.

When they got to the gate of the community, Su Juying yelled "Oops", just passing by the Chengnan Market, the little eDonkey slipped past.When she was taking off her white coat in the hospital, she was still thinking about passing by the Chengnan Vegetable Market, so she must remember to buy a catty of pork and seasonal vegetables along the way.

In the past, her family lived next to the vegetable market in the south of the city, and it was convenient to sell vegetables at any time. Now that they moved to Liunan New District, selling vegetables has become a problem.

She didn't want to go back to the market again.

"Forget it, go home and rest first, and go to the vegetable market again at noon."

Turning into the street, Su Juying smelled the aroma of steamed buns, and she couldn't help but follow the scent to look at the surrounding facades. There were two sporadic people buying steamed buns in front of the steamed stuffed bun shop, but what surprised Su Juying was—— There is actually a fresh supermarket.

She parked the electric car on the side of the road, took out the key and entered the fresh food supermarket, "Boss, you guys just opened it today? Wow, this dish looks so fresh, and the leaves are so tender and crispy."

"Yes, this dish is an organic vegetable specially ordered from a farmer. It's delicious."

"From now on, you can buy vegetables at your doorstep. It's convenient, boss, weigh me two radishes, and... and this bunch of lettuce, give me two green peppers..."

Instructing her son, Zhang Yunna happily weighed the dishes and put the money in the drawer. She was so happy, happier than she won money playing mahjong.

Let's just say that she has a business vision, and opened the store before anyone else saw the business opportunity.

After a long time, the income is actually not bad. Zhang Yunna’s small calculations are clattering in her heart. There are a lot of residents who still go to the vegetable market in the south of the city. Go to the vegetable market, and then come to their house to buy everything, and she will make a lot of money!

She was so excited that she never wanted to play cards again.

She will stay at home to look after the store.

The transport driver, Jiang Hua, delivered all the goods and rushed home before noon. After returning home, as expected, there was no smoke, and the food in other people's homes was already fragrant, but theirs did not open fire.

Jiang Hua suppressed the anger in his heart, and couldn't help but sighed faintly.

As soon as he entered the door, Sun Lan, a daughter-in-law who was still breastfeeding, was breastfeeding her six-month-old daughter. Seeing him coming in, she glanced at him and said nothing, while his mother and five-year-old son Duoduo, But nowhere to be seen.

Sun Lan was also holding back her anger, "Your mother took Duoduo to buy vegetables, but she hasn't come back yet!"

"Haven't you had lunch at home yet?"

"There is no food, what to eat? Eat, eat, look, the rice bowl is empty, the vegetable basket is empty, and even the mice don't want to come to your house. Tell me, your mother is here to help us take care of our son. Or come to make fun of me?"

Jiang Hua couldn't help but wanted to reply a few words, but when the words came to his lips, he held back dully.The daughter-in-law doesn't have a job, and he has to support his wife, mother, and two children who are waiting to be fed. The eldest son will go to elementary school next year, and the youngest daughter has not been weaned. The burden of the family is all on him on the shoulders.

In order to earn more money, he worked desperately overtime, and when he returned home, he couldn't even eat a hot meal. His wife and mother were angry with each other, and he was caught in the middle, neither of which was human.

Sun Lan's tone was bad, but Jiang Hua really didn't want to quarrel with her.

"Here are a few native eggs, you can eat a few to fill your stomach."

Sun Lan frowned, "I've said it all, I don't eat cold eggs, they smell fishy, ​​why did your mother—"

"Come back, come back, son, hey, you're back too." Jiang Hua's mother, Tang Hui, led her little grandson into the door.

The little grandson Duoduo rushed to the sofa with a Superman toy.

Sun Lan didn't care about her son, so she hurried forward to look at the things her mother-in-law was carrying. Seeing this, she was dizzy with anger, "Just a few leaves of water spinach, do you have this for lunch?"

Jiang Hua's mother was always there, "You said you wanted to eat green vegetables."

"Don't you want to eat more water?"

The two talked to each other, and Jiang Hua's head got dizzy from their quarrel. His mother was called to take care of his daughter-in-law. It was fine at first, but Sun Lan couldn't get used to her mother-in-law Tang Hui when she was in confinement. The food she cooked, said that the food she cooked was dry and salty, and said that she was so choked that she couldn't eat.

His mother used to have a good attitude towards her daughter-in-law, so she changed it according to the other party's opinion, but Sun Lan always picked and belittled her cooking.

His daughter-in-law and his mother, one felt wronged during the confinement period and couldn't even eat well, and the other felt that the daughter-in-law deliberately disliked and tormented her. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was very tense.

"Stop arguing!" Jiang Hua yelled at the two of them, "I'm going to cook the vegetables, and I'll come back with the vegetables."

He rubbed the space between his brows, and suddenly thanked Grandma Shen for the bag of farm food that Grandma Shen gave him.

Hearing what he said, his mother Tang Hui shut up and shook her head out of necessity.

Tang Hui had already taken her grandson to eat a bowl of wontons outside, and she didn't panic.

She just wanted to fight her daughter-in-law.

Sun Lan saw the back of her husband going to the kitchen, and said indignantly, "You can eat the food you cook? Don't eat it at lunch."

Knowing her husband's cooking skills, she was so angry that her stomach hurt even more.

The five-year-old eldest son, Duoduo, didn't know that adults like them had enough twists and turns and had enough toys. His sharp eyes saw the bag of boiled eggs on the table, and he pestered his grandma and said, "Grandma, I want to eat this."

Tang Hui smiled and said to her little grandson, "Okay, grandma will peel it for you."

Sun Lan frowned and watched her mother-in-law and grandson eat the eggs. She was worried that she would hide in the room due to the smell of the eggs, but when she saw the brown-red oval eggs and the white and tender egg whites, Gulu The growling stomach forced her to swallow saliva desperately.

"Grandma, the eggs are delicious."

"This native egg tastes really good, dear grandson, why did you eat the egg yolk too??? Didn't you not eat egg yolk before?"

"Grandma, this is delicious. I want to eat egg yolks in the future."

"It's so cute..."

Sun Lan couldn't hold back, and walked over, took a boiled egg and cracked it open. After taking a tentative bite, her eyes lit up.

When Jiang Hua came out with the dishes, he saw his mother and daughter-in-law eating up a bag of local eggs on the table.

"Wash your hands and eat with chopsticks and bowls."

Jiang Hua didn't cook any complicated dishes, just a lean tomato soup, fried carrots and a plate of fried lettuce.

Sun Lan glanced at it with a look of disgust, and muttered in her heart: At least this time it is not burnt, so let's eat it.

The family washed their hands, took the dishes and chopsticks, and began to eat lunch.

Tang Hui held the bowl, thinking that after the little grandson ate the wontons, he would not be able to eat anymore, who knew that he would take one bite after another, and he was not at all like the naughty boy who asked adults to chase after him to feed him in the past.

"Grandma, I want rice with soup, add more soup."

"Good good."

The meal was enjoyable, and all the dishes were eaten. Sun Lan originally thought that she would lose her appetite from anger, but the tomato soup was beautiful in color, sweet and sour, and she could eat two big bowls of this soup Rice, not to mention the red, tender and crispy carrots, and the lettuce are fried just right.

Sun Lan rubbed her stomach, "Jiang Hua, have you secretly practiced cooking?"

Duoduo sternly said in Mandarin: "Today's food is really delicious, grandma, shall we eat like this at night?"

Jiang Hua also wondered, his culinary skills are still the same, did he perform exceptionally well today?

His mother, Tang Hui, squinted her eyes, "It's because he's good at cooking. He's fried all the good lettuce. If it wasn't for today's dish itself, it wouldn't taste good. Jiang Hua, Where did you buy today's vegetables? I walked through a market, but I didn't see such fresh and beautiful radishes and tomatoes, and the native eggs you brought back, they taste authentic."

Hearing her mother-in-law mentioned eggs, Sun Lan couldn't help saying, "The local eggs are delicious, where did you buy them, let's buy more in the future."

Buy it back to make boiled eggs, fried eggs, poached eggs, tomato scrambled eggs...

"I didn't buy the vegetables and local eggs. They were given by an old lady in Qingquan Village..."
