Overwhelmed by food after rebirth

The pickled radishes are selling very well in the past few days. All the radishes grown at home have been pulled out and pickled into sour radishes, and that's not enough.

Shi Wei's foot was injured and he couldn't move around, so he planned to harvest radishes at home.

Although Shi Changcai and Dong Xuyuan knew that sooner or later they would have to spend money to buy radishes, their hearts ached no matter how they thought about it.If you know this, you should grow some radishes in the first place!

"It's okay, when we calculated the cost, didn't we already include the cost of the radish? We still made a profit." Shi Wei comforted while keeping accounts.

Dong Xuyuan was still a little unhappy, although he wouldn't show it in front of Shiwei and Shifang, but when he turned his head, he sighed and counted the money in the box to make things difficult for him.

Shi Wei didn't have anything to do. Dong Xuyuan and Shi Changcai had been poor for so long, and they always saved as much as they could, so they had to wait until they had some money in their pockets before they could change their minds.

"Mom, buy some more eggs when you come back. Although pickled radishes are easy to sell, the profit is too low now. Let's add another high-profit business."

"Why buy eggs? Don't you have duck eggs at home?"

There are not many chickens raised here, but every family will raise a few ducks to lay eggs.

However, compared with chicken eggs, duck eggs have a fishy taste. Ducks are easy to feed, and every household also raises them, so the price of duck eggs is also cheaper.A catty of eggs costs one yuan and two, and a catty of duck eggs costs only one yuan.

Shi Wei and his family also raised five ducks. They built a small thatched hut by the river behind and surrounded it in a small circle. This is where the ducks live.Usually Shi Fang takes the ducks with him when he goes out to play, and watches them while playing.

But the five ducks are not good enough to eat, and they can only get three or four duck eggs a week.Except for Shi Wei and Shi Fang who occasionally ate one, the others had to be saved and sold.

"Why buy eggs? Weiwei, do you want to eat them?" Dong Xuyuan asked hesitantly.The family has earned a little money these days. Although eggs are a bit more expensive, it is not impossible to buy one or two to satisfy our cravings.

There is still a little sesame oil at home, and I steamed a few drops when I poured it, and Fangfang can eat a few more mouthfuls.

Dong Xuyuan was thinking about it, and then he heard Shiwei speak.

"I don't want to eat it. I'm going to do some business with eggs. Let's buy two catties first. If it's good, we'll invest more. If it's not good, we can eat it ourselves. It's not a loss." Shi Wei said.

Dong Xuyuan hesitated, but Shiwei's idea was very good. The pickled radish alone had increased their family's income by tens of dollars in the past few days.But to be honest, buying two catties of eggs at once...Dong Xuyuan was really reluctant.

"Mom?" Seeing Dong Xuyuan's silence, Shi Wei called her again.

Dong Xuyuan gritted his teeth: "Then I'll bring it back at night."

Shi Wei nodded calmly, looking indifferent, but he was slightly relieved in his heart.

Shi Fang heard that the family wanted to buy eggs, but jumped three feet high: "Mom, mom, are we going to eat eggs tonight?" The little girl's eyes were shining, and the corners of her mouth were also shining, as if her saliva would come out immediately. of.

Dong Xuyuan slapped Shi Fang on the head: "Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, and eat if you know how expensive an egg is!"

Although Dong Xuyuan was fierce, Shi Fang didn't care, and the place on his head that was slapped didn't hurt, and his old lady didn't understand it?Although it is said that it is not allowed to eat now, after buying it, it must be edible.

"And these things, you can ask where they are sold. It's best to buy them all. If you don't have any, just try to gather them together." Shi Wei knew that Dong Xuyuan and Shi Changcai were illiterate, so he even drew a picture on it. Although Wei is not a professional artist, but because he made a lot of real estate in his previous life, he can not only understand the pictures, but also draw some himself. It is not as professional as it is, but at least he has a little foundation, so that people can roughly see what it is. .

"Why do you still need to buy tea?" Dong Xuyuan asked in bewilderment after listening to what Shiwei was about to ask.

"What we're going to do next is tea eggs." Shi Wei said with a smile.

"Tea eggs?" Dong Xuyuan had never heard of such a thing, but seeing Shi Wei's confident smile, he didn't ask too many questions, folded the note and stuffed it into his pocket, and hurried away.

"Brother, are the tea eggs delicious?" Shi Fang asked curiously.

"It's delicious." Shi Wei stretched out his hand to touch the weed heads that had become a mess after a night's sleep, and whispered, "When mom buys everything back at night, we'll each eat one!"

The little glutton Shi Fang nodded desperately.

Tea eggs sound simple, that is to use tea leaves to make boiled eggs, but in fact tea is not an important ingredient, the main purpose of putting tea leaves is to increase the aroma.

It is very convenient to cook tea eggs in the future. Just go to the market and buy a material bag. All the spices are already prepared in the cloth bag, and you just need to add water to the pot.But now is a time when even eating eggs is counting the days and worrying about it. In a small place like the [-]th tier, they don't even know what tea eggs are.

Changcai and Dong Xuyuan came back a bit late today, they usually only go home when they are sold out, although it is said that there is time for shopping, but it is a bit too late today.

Shi Wei already guessed a little bit in his heart, but when Dong Xuyuan spoke, Shi Wei's heart sank, the situation was worse than they thought.

Shi Changcai and Dong Xuyuan traveled to several places today, and met several pickled radish sellers.Although their pickled radishes are ugly, but because they are more cost-effective, his business has obviously been affected a lot today.

Shi Changcai has a bit of business sense now, so he also used free pickled radishes as a reward, getting rid of a few children and buying other people's pickled radishes.

The taste of these pickled radishes is similar to theirs, the only difference is that the pickled radishes are brown and [-]% pickled with red-brown vinegar.

Shi Wei didn't have many surprises, it wasn't the first day he saw the brains of Hua people.So I had a plan early in my heart, but I didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry. Although there are competitions, we can't fail to sell them. The color of our pickled radishes looks better. If we lower the price to the same level as theirs, we can still make money."

As soon as Shi Wei finished speaking, Dong Xuyuan immediately said: "If you don't surrender, it's not that you can't sell it. It's good to just sell it like this!"

If the price is lowered, they can actually make money. Their current cost and time are slowly coming down. The profit per catty is about [-] cents, but if it goes down to the same level as others, they can only earn [-] cents per catty. money.Selling pickled radishes is more labor-intensive than selling radishes, and you have to prevent people from taking too much.It's all a small business, Dong Xuyuan doesn't want to lose money in vain.

Shi Changcai also refused. Although it is a bit difficult to sell now, it is not impossible to sell, it just takes more time.

Shi Wei had nothing to do with them, the sun was so strong outside, even after the sun went down, the temperature was still very high, and the two of them were used to saving money, neither buying popsicles nor water, they had to bring two bottles of water every day.Shi Wei was afraid that they would ruin their health, but when Dong Xuyuan and Shi Changcai fought, Shi Wei couldn't persuade him.

What can Shi Wei do?He could only say: "Then you sell it in another place tomorrow, and go to the family courtyard of those factories to sell it."

"Can it be sold?" Dong Xuyuan expressed concern about this.

"We don't sell it by the slice, but by the catty. When you take the radish home, you can either eat it as it is or stir-fry it. Isn't it better than their boiled cabbage?"

In order to get them to change places, Shi Wei talked a lot.But the two are still a little unhappy: "Sell by the catty, but you won't make so much money."

"But selling by the catty, you can make a quick profit. You can buy it for [-] cents per catty, and we can earn [-] cents, so it's just a matter of one person. But if you sell it in two pieces per catty, that's terrible. It’s just a matter of dozens of pennies.”

Dong Xuyuan and Shi Changcai looked at each other, reluctant to part with the few cents of profit, but looking forward to the prospect of a customer earning a dime.

"Okay, bring some more radishes tomorrow, let's try to sell them for a day, if not, then go back and sell them to those children."

Shi Wei's tone became tougher, and Shi Changcai and his wife finally agreed with a grunt.

It's not their fault. Both of them are honest farmers. There are two big earners in the family. In order to make money for the two children to support their education and life, the two of them have already done their best.The concept of spending money to make money cannot be converted in a short while.On Shiwei's side, it may be the calculation of time cost and profit, but to them, it is the representative of drug money and tuition fees.

Just like only Shi Wei and Shi Fang could eat steamed egg custard at home, they tightened their belts and were harsh on themselves.

This side was talking, and a domineering aroma came out from the kitchen.

Shi Fang stuck his head out from the edge of the kitchen curtain, that's how the scent leaked out.

"Fangfang, what are you doing? Why is it so fragrant?" This kind of fragrance is really overbearing, especially for the poor people who can't eat meat a few times a year.

"It's what my brother asked me to cook just now."

When Shi Changcai came back, he gave the pile of bought things to Shi Wei, and Shi Wei picked out a bowl for Shi Fang to cook in the pot.It didn't take long to cook, and the aroma surrounded the room with the white water vapor.It was so fragrant that it made people's stomach growl, and the saliva began to secrete crazily.

Shi Fang kept taking deep breaths, hoping to inhale more of such a beautiful fragrance into his stomach.

Two big ones and one small stared at Shi Wei closely, accompanied by the opening and closing of the big arc of the nose, it was very stressful to watch.

"Fangfang, are the eggs cooked?" Shi Wei asked Shi Fang.

Shi Fang said quickly, "It's cooked, it's cooked!"

There are two stove pits at home, but because there is only one large iron pot, only one pit is in use.

However, there is a small pit in the middle of the two big pits, and a long small pot is placed on it to burn. As long as the stove is used, some hot water will be boiled along the way.
