Life can be described as miserable, but I have to endure it when living under someone else’s roof.

Chapter 518 The Husband of an Educated Youth (11)

It was a bit cool in the morning in the Imperial Capital in August, and the sky had just turned white. The door of a courtyard house at the corner of Beierdao Street opened.

"Be careful and lift it up slowly." Ye Jiao said with a soft voice and stretched out her hand to lift her hanging hair.

"Daughter-in-law, stand over there." Ji Yang held the cart with one hand and pointed in the direction to the side with the other hand.

"Okay." Ye Jiao walked over quickly.

Ji Yang lifted it hard and loaded the iron pot onto the cart, then pushed it forward, with Ye Jiao following behind him.

The two of them have been in the imperial capital for a while. They have been on the green train for nearly five days. They have no friends and are dependent on each other here.

The courtyard house is rented, and with more than 900 yuan saved before, it is their only source of security.

The two pushed the cart to the city center. It was a long street with many factories next to it. People in blue work clothes were now rushing to go to work.

There were people riding bicycles and carrying green bags, and occasionally a car passed by. The building next to it was much more upscale than their town.

Everything opened Ye Jiao's eyes.

As soon as Ji Yang stopped, she put away her thoughts and quickly started to prepare, placing everything she wanted to sell.

He opened the lid of the iron pot, added another briquettes to the bottom, then took down a small table and a few wooden benches and set them up next to them.

"How much do tea eggs cost?" A man came over and pointed.

"Two and a half cents each." Ye Jiao stood up and smiled back at him.

"Do you want to sell it for 45 cents or two?" The man began to negotiate the price.

"Okay." She nodded, then quickly picked up two, took the money and gave change, "Slow down."

"Have a tea egg."

"Here you go."

"Is there mung bean soup today?" A bicycle stopped and a girl with pigtails asked.

"Yes, it's still hot." Ye Jiao nodded.

"Help me put it in," she said, passing the kettle over.

"It's a bit hot, I'll do it." Ji Yang reached out to take it, opened another pot, stirred it twice with a spoon, and a wave of heat rose.

"Mung bean porridge is 15 cents." Ye Jiao said to the girl, and then took the money handed over by the other party.

It was the peak period and the couple was very busy. They sold tea eggs and mung bean soup.

Pair a bowl of soup with a tea egg. The soup is refreshing, the tea egg is fragrant, non-greasy and nutritious.

The two tables set up were full and business was very good.

They continued to work until 10:30 in the morning. One-third of the tea eggs were left and some mung bean porridge was left, so the two of them could take a break.

Ye Jiao wiped her sweat, and Ji Yang took down the high stool and placed it next to her, "Sit down and rest for a while."

"Are the tea eggs overcooked? I cooked five hundred today." Ye Jiao looked at the iron pot with concern.

In the past, she only cooked 300 pieces and they sold quickly, so she cooked 500 pieces today. The cost was a bit high and she was afraid that she would lose money if she couldn't sell them all.

"If we can't sell out, we'll sell them in the afternoon." Ji Yang wasn't worried, and even said something with a smile, "Wouldn't it be over if you just eat a few more?"

"I can't eat anymore." She smelled the scent of tea eggs and swallowed the taste.

She ate two of them when she got up today. The price was 10 cents each. If she sold them, it would be 50 cents. She used to work for less than 50 cents a day.

Too luxurious.

"Eat it if you want. We don't have anything else at home. The tea egg tube is enough." Ji Yang said as he picked up an egg and looked at it. "This is delicious."

It was peeled off in a few seconds and handed to her.

"...Then I'll have another one, I can't eat it." Ye Jiao smiled, raised her eyebrows, took it and took a small bite.

Like a little hamster, she was tasting her delicious food, watching him praise, "The spices you make are delicious. We also bought tea eggs when we went to the square before, and they were not delicious at all."

When they first came here, they were very confused. Although they had money in their pockets, they would spend it all. Ji Yang suggested starting a business, starting with selling tea eggs.

He bought tea and spices and studied them. She tried them. Unexpectedly, they tasted very good. One hundred of them were sold out on the first day.

Immediately afterwards, the two cooked one hundred and fifty, then two hundred, three hundred, and today they cooked five hundred.

Life is slowly getting back on track, and I have a job to make a living in this big city. Although the self-employed and small traders are not decent now, they are very satisfied.

"Eat more if it's delicious." Ji Yang has always been generous to her. She ate five eggs on the first day and asked him to rub it for a while when her stomach was bloated at night.

"I want two tea eggs." An old man came over with a little girl and smiled lovingly. "She made a fuss about eating it last time. She didn't even like eating it when the family cooked it for her."

"The kid is so cute." Ye Jiao knelt down and looked at the chubby little girl, looking at her with her big round eyes.

"Call Auntie." The old man reminded with a smile.

"Sister." The little girl pursed her lips and said sweetly, "Sister, can you give me one?"

Ye Jiao laughed, he was such a clever little guy.

"I'll give you one." Ji Yang has already caught three tea eggs. "Eat more eggs and you will grow taller."

"Thank you, brother." She bit her lip with her little teeth, smiled wider, and looked at her grandma proudly.

"This child... is very grown-up." The old man also said with wrinkles on his face, "Grandma, hold it for you, it's a little hot."

"Bye, brother and sister." She waved her little hand.

"Bye." Ye Jiao looked at her, her smile slowly disappearing. If she and Ji Yang got married and had children, they would probably be as old as they are now.

"What are you thinking about? Here." Ji Yang interrupted her thoughts and handed over the money.

"Nothing." She took it, then held the money box in her hands, sat down and started counting the money.
