The happy little days of the Ye family

When I was at Fang's house, my family was poor and we didn't have much to eat.

Fang Jiawang occasionally makes candied haws on a stick to entertain his nephews and nieces at home.

This candied haws is actually not difficult to make. After cleaning the hawthorns, dry the water and then skewer them into bamboo skewers.

Put the sugar in the pot, cook over low heat, then put the hawthorns into the syrup and coat them with a thick layer of syrup.

When the syrup on the surface of the hawthorns cools and hardens, the sweet and sour candied haws are ready.

Many people in the village can make candied haws, but the price of sugar is not cheap, so few people can do this to entertain their children.

Before all the syrup outside had hardened, Fang Jiawang couldn't wait to take a bunch and eat it.

The sugar outside neutralizes the acidity of the hawthorn, and it tastes sour and sweet, very appetizing, no worse than the candied haws sold outside.

Fang Jiawang nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad, the craftsmanship has not deteriorated."

Then Fang Jiawang took some straw for igniting the fire and pierced an ugly-looking target to stick the candied haws on.

Although the target looks a bit ugly, it still looks decent with the red candied haws on it, and it is very conspicuous in your hand.

Seeing that it was almost time for the martial arts gym to end, Fang Jiawang hurriedly took the candied haws to the entrance of the martial arts gym to sell them.

"Candied haws on a stick, candied haws on a stick, a bunch of candied haws cost 2 cents, sour and sweet, if not delicious, no charge..."

There is no child who doesn't like candied haws. Just after Fang Jiawang shouted a few times, he was surrounded by a group of little guys.

"Uncle, I want a bunch of candied haws."

"I, I also want a bunch of candied haws."

"Give me a couple of skewers, young master."

"I……"

Fang Jiawang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth when he saw these little guys being so supportive.

"Okay, okay, everything is there, come one by one, don't worry."

When Hu Shengnan and Hu Bin came out, they happened to see Fang Jiawang surrounded by a group of little kids, busy selling candied haws.

The father and daughter went up to help without saying anything.

Hu Shengnan is responsible for selling the candied haws, Fang Jiawang is responsible for collecting the money, and Hu Bin is on the side to maintain order and prevent these treasures from falling or being stepped on.

The first time he sold candied haws, Fang Jiawang was not sure how much he could sell. He was afraid that he would not be able to sell, so he did not dare to make more.

A total of 20 skewers were made, and he just ate one skewer. Unexpectedly, the rest were all sold out in less than a quarter of an hour.

Yan learned from Mr. Hu and Hu Wu that the three of them were selling candied haws at the entrance of the martial arts school.

Just when I wanted to go over and see how the sales were going, I saw three people coming back talking and laughing, and Fang Jiawang came back carrying an empty target.

"You're back so soon? Are all the candied hawsers sold out?" Yan looked at the empty targets with a look of disbelief.

"They're all sold out! Look, there's not a single one left."

As he spoke, Fang Jiawang handed an empty target to Yan with a proud look on his face.

"This boy is quite capable. How much money did he make?" Yan asked her son-in-law with a gossipy look on her face, patting her on the shoulder.

“You’ll know just by counting!”

After returning home, the Fang family stopped cooking and happily counted coins in the hall.

The three members of the Hu family on the side also watched him counting the money.

"One cent, two cents, three cents... thirty-eight cents, hahaha, I made 38 cents today." Looking at the copper in his hand, Wang Jiawang smiled proudly.

Hu Shengnan just watched Fang Jiawang selling candied haws on a stick. He didn't expect to make so much money in a short time, so he asked excitedly:

"Hey, your little business is doing well, but what about the capital? How much of the capital was used?"

Fang Jiawang began to calculate the cost of these candied haws.

"The hawthorns are picked by Da Mao Er Mao and others in the mountains. They don't need to pay for it. Sugar doesn't cost much either, so the cost is estimated to be 10 cents."

"That means I earned 28 cash in half a day? That's more than cash in a month, which is almost as much as my salary."

Hu Shengnan was very excited. He didn't expect that his husband-in-law was a good businessman.

Mrs. Yan pushed her daughter away and said, "My family is prosperous, will you still make candied haws tomorrow? Mom, let me help you."

"Okay, that's hard work, mother."

Fang Jiawang was not a diligent person to begin with, so of course he happily accepted the offer.

When Hu Shengnan saw that Fang Jiawang had finished counting the money, he stretched out his hand towards him, with the obvious intention of asking him to hand it over.

Fang Jiawang looked at Hu Shengnan with a flattering look on his face, "Madam, can you leave some for me? If you don't have this money, how can you have the motivation to make money?"

Hu Shengnan thought that this man became a son-in-law just because he didn't want to work. If he really wanted to collect all the money, he would definitely not be willing to make money in the future.

Too much is not enough, you still have to praise him more and let him take the initiative to make money.

Hu Shengnan immediately smiled and said, "Have half for each person. From now on, the pocket money and grocery money will remain the same. Half of the money you earn will be given to the household, and the rest will be your own private money."

"Okay, then I will tinker with some more snacks and take them to the door of the martial arts school to try. Madam, you have to come over and help me collect the money."

"Of course. If there's any heavy work, just call me."

Anyway, with Yan's help, he could enlist the help of his father and daughter when selling, and he was not too tired. Fang Jiawang agreed immediately.

After all, you can’t live with money.

Fang Jiawang also has his own little thoughts. Although he is a door-to-door son-in-law, he can't really make no money. Over time, the family will definitely have opinions.

The best thing about running a martial arts gym at home is making money from these little guys.

Like now, tinkering with small snacks and making some private money is good for both leisure and making money.

Hu Bin had no objection to his son-in-law selling snacks at the entrance of the martial arts gym, but he specifically warned him.

The ingredients used must be good and clean, and people must not be spoiled.

"Dad, don't worry, I will do a good job."

Although his character is not very good, he is not willing to make bad things to deceive children.

Fang Jiawang saw that there were not many hawthorns at home, so he took a pound of pork belly back to Fangjia Village early the next morning.

When the children in the family saw the meat, their eyes shone, and they surrounded the Fang family and shouted to their uncles one by one.

Fang Jiawang didn't hide it from his family, and said that he planned to make some candied haws to sell in the martial arts gym.

Both Fang Datian and Liang were very supportive and felt that he had become mature and sensible after getting married.

After saying a few words, Fang Jiawang took Da Mao Er Mao all over the mountains and fields to pick hawthorns.

With good luck today, Fang Jiawang also found a half-sized chestnut tree in a hidden corner.

The three uncles and nephews went up the mountain and harvested a lot. When they came down the mountain, Fang Jiawang was carrying a sack of hawthorns, and the two little guys were carrying half a sack of chestnuts.

There was no shortage of hawthorns and chestnuts in the village. Fang Jiawang’s mother asked him to take all these things back to the Hu family.

Thinking that the sweet potatoes at home were big and sweet, Fang Jiawang also took away a sack of sweet potatoes.

On the way, Jiawang thought of something else, "It's getting cold, so it would be good to set up a small stove and sell roasted sweet potatoes and roasted chestnuts."
