Chapter 022: Business Opportunities
He Peier married into the Xia family, today is the first time to go out, the ugly mother-in-law did not go up the mountain in the morning, she has been waiting at home, and she is a little uneasy in her heart.
Now that I saw people coming back, my heart was finally relieved, and I hurried up to help unload things.
Xiao Shaoguo put the vegetable basket under the eaves, and was looking left and right at the dilapidated house, when he heard the faint sound of the wheel, and then saw Xia Lin, who was dressed in black and with long hair, pushing his wheelchair out of the house.
This was originally a somewhat cold dilapidated temple house, and such a long-haired man in black suddenly appeared, which frightened Xiao Shaoguo, and his heart trembled. And the man turned his head to look at him, and his eyes were so sharp that they seemed to be able to see into the heart.
"Big cousin, this is my husband, Xia Lin." He Pei'er knew that he was scared when he saw his cousin's appearance, and this Xia Lin too, he couldn't look at people's faces, so he could say something and prove that he was a living person.
Hearing He Pei'er's explanation, Xiao Shaoguo nodded a little weirdly, pulled the corners of his mouth at Xia Lin, and helped the ugly mother-in-law move things.
Alas, the mother-in-law in this family is one-eyed, and the husband is disabled, and it is estimated that the eldest cousin can't accept how he married here for a while.
He Peier turned out the things she bought in the town and sorted them, took the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar into the kitchen, put the fish nets into the hall, and put some of the things she bought for herself into the room.
She was stared at by a pair of eyes in and out, He Pei'er was also a little hairy, and glared back at Xia Lin, "What are you looking at?" ”
"How did you cut your hair?" Xia Lin's gaze did not retract, he supported his chin with his hand, and looked her up and down.
He felt a little dissatisfied with his haircut, He Pei'er's dark eyes rolled, approached Xia Lin, and said with a smile, "Xia Lin, don't you think I cut my hair and become beautiful?" "Chest up, head up, face full of confidence, "Look, is it more temperamental than before." ”
He Pei'er saw that Xia Lin didn't speak, just a pair of brows wrinkled slightly, she didn't care, bent down and continued, "And it's easier to take care of when it's shortened, and it's easy to wash, you don't need to roast it when it's hot, and it dries when you blow the wind, it's better than long hair, don't you say?" ”
"Xia Lin, you cut it too, it must be more handsome than now." He Peier couldn't help but reach out and touch his long black and smooth hair, if she could have such a good long hair, she would probably be reluctant to cut it, it really makes people love and hate!
He Peier was indulging, and the back of her hand was slapped coldly.
Xia Lin snatched her hair back from her hand, turned the wheels of the wheelchair, and walked away without saying a word.
Well, she's messing with this guy!
He Pei'er took her hand to her lips and blew it, thinking in her heart if it was her delusion just now, how could she feel that Xia Lin was blushing.
"Pei'er, have you eaten with your cousin of the Xiao family? Do you want me to cook something out for you to eat? The ugly mother-in-law put her things and came out, and when she saw He Peier standing stupidly at the door, she asked her.
"Mother-in-law, don't need it, we've eaten in town." She ate noodles, and my cousin ate oil cakes, and she is still full.
"Okay, I'll boil some water and give it to you to drink."
After the ugly mother-in-law left, He Peier found some tools and asked Xiao Shaoguo to help her repair the gate, there was no normal man in this house, and some things still couldn't be done.
Xiao Shaoguo is an authentic peasant man, these things are naturally not a problem, and he rolled up his sleeves and knocked on the door frame.
After the ugly mother-in-law boiled the water, He Peier soaked a bowl of brown sugar water and put it on the table for her cousin, and she also went to sort the basket of vegetables under the eaves.
The basket of vegetables sent over by my aunt and cousin also put some thought into it, thinking that they didn't finish it so quickly, except that there were some seasonal vegetables on it, and a small half basket of potatoes below, which could not only be eaten as a dish, but also fill their stomachs.
He Pei'er picked out cabbage and yellow claws, which can be pickled to make kimchi and eaten, and put them in the jar for a longer time. A handful of spinach can be fried tonight, and a dozen or so tomatoes can be put in the day after tomorrow, but she doesn't remember to buy some eggs today, otherwise she can scramble a tomato egg.
Let's go to Xiaxi Village another day, not only to buy eggs, but also to see who hatched chicks, and bring back a dozen chicks to raise, and there will be eggs to eat every day in the future.
He Peier sorted the dishes into categories, and went to pour out the soybeans she bought today, planning to soak them and send out some bean sprouts tomorrow.
"Pelle, what are you doing?" Xiao Shaoguo had already repaired the door and came out to drink the bowl of sugar water, originally he thought it was tea water, but when he entered his mouth, he knew that it was brown sugar water, and that sweet feeling made him sigh unconsciously.
He hadn't drunk sugar water for a long time, and he remembered only one or two times during the New Year.
"Big cousin, I'm going to sprout bean sprouts." He Pei'er looked up at him, "Have you ever eaten bean sprouts?" ”
Sprouts? Xiao Shaoguo looked at the soybeans in the wooden basin, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Are the soybeans sprouting and having long legs?" ”
"Yes! Big cousin eaten? ”
"I ate it once when I was helping people in Hongliu Town the year before last, and it tasted pretty good." Xiao Shaoguo became interested, and squatted next to He Pei, "I didn't think you would do this?" How many pounds of bean sprouts can be made in one pound of beans? ”
He Pei'er pointed to the wooden basin, "Big cousin, I have a pound of soybeans here, and I can generally send about ten pounds of bean sprouts." And I not only sprout bean sprouts, but also use pea flour to make cold powder. "In her previous life, she was a cook in the acrobatic troupe for three years, and if conditions permit, she would open a restaurant.
"Really?" Xiao Shaoguo hurriedly put down the empty bowl in his hand as if he had discovered a new continent, "Pei'er, do you say that this bean sprout can be sold on the street?" And the jelly you mentioned, someone should buy these novelties! ”
"Of course you can sell it. Big cousin, don't you think I'm responsible for sending bean sprouts to make cold powder, you pull it to the town to sell, how about we divide the profits equally after removing the cost? "A pound of beans is less than a dime a pound, and if you send ten pounds of bean sprouts, seven or eight times the profit should be fine. One pound of pea flour can also make about seven catties of cold noodles, although these are cheap side dishes, but it is much better than the eldest cousin selling home-grown vegetables in the town.
"If you can sell it, of course there is no problem." Now Qingxi Town has not sold bean sprouts jelly, if it can take the lead, maybe this business will still have to be done.
Since the state allowed individuals to do business, Xiao Shaoguo has been selling vegetables in the town, and now it has been almost a year, and the more things he sees, the higher his vision will naturally be, and he looks at the beans in the water again, and he feels that it is full of money.
