Joe's Farming

After breakfast, Gu Gang took Da Zhuang to Xiaxixi Village to collect duck eggs.

Gu Feng and Qiao Yu packed up and prepared to go to Funing Temple.

As a result, before he even went out, he ran into the Xu family's carriage.

"Brother Qiao, Brother Gu. Aning and I are here again."

Xu Yuan got off the carriage with a smile, carefully holding the hand of Xu Ning, who was much stronger than him.

"Brother Qiao, Brother Gu." Xu Ning also greeted them with a smile.

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Why didn't you tell me in advance? Brother Gu and I were just about to go out."

"Where are we going? Let's go inside and talk business first, then have lunch and go out together, how about that?"

Xu Ning almost blushed at her husband's words.

Do I have to say I've finished lunch?

Qiao Yu glanced at Gu Feng and said, "Why don't we go later?"

Gu Feng nodded. Anyway, he felt that it was optional to go.

Everyone went back to the yard, talking and laughing.

Xu Ning has a keen nose and he smelled the special aroma of meat porridge when he walked through the kitchen just now.

"Qiao Ge'er, what kind of porridge did you have this morning? It smells so good."

After Xu Ning said this, Xu Yuan also smelled it: "It seems like preserved eggs, but not really."

Qiao Yu smiled and nodded: "Yes, I added preserved eggs. Didn't I teach Xu Ning how to make it before? It tastes like preserved egg and lean meat porridge."

Xu Ning blushed: "I mixed the preserved eggs with garlic sauce as you said, and ate it in one meal."

Xu Yuan thought her husband's blushing face was both pitiful and cute, so she gently pinched the back of his hand and said to Qiao Yu:

"That's what I'm talking about. We all think preserved eggs are delicious, and even my mother ate two at that meal.

I think if we add this dish to Yipinxuan, it will definitely sell well.

So I want to find Brother Qiao to supply Yipinxuan. Can I order one thousand first?"

Qiao Yu thought that the return rate for the ten preserved eggs she gave to Xu Yuan was too high.

“Of course, but I don’t have that many now. I can give you 100 first, and the remaining 900 have to be delivered next month.

I'm afraid I can't deliver all of them in one go. Can I split the delivery into three days? I don't have that many people, so I don't know if I can receive so many eggs."

Qiao Yu told the truth.

Xu Yuan smiled and said, "Of course, Brother Qiao sets a price. Aning pays."

Qiao Yu thought that duck eggs were eight cents for ten of them, and with the occasional price fluctuation plus the cost of collecting the eggs, it would be one cent each.

The cost of lime powder and alkali soil is not high, but the labor and time costs are too high.

Is it not too much to charge four cents?

"One preserved egg is four cents. Since you ordered so many, I'll give you a 20% discount. The total is three ounces and two cents."

Xu Yuan immediately smiled and asked her husband to pay: "This price is good, no need to give me a discount, I can make Yipinxuan earn back the money in one day."

Xu Yuan wanted to give it, and Qiao Yu didn't act pretentiously and happily accepted the four taels of silver.

What Xu Yuan said was true. The gap between the rich and the poor in this era is too huge.

It is normal for a rich person to eat one meal at Yipinxuan, which is equivalent to what a country person would eat in a year.

The way to make money in this era is always to make money from rich people.

Both the snack bars and new stores are relatively friendly to the people.

Speaking of the new store, before he had the chance to share it with Xu Yuan and his wife, he immediately told them that he had bought the new shop specializing in snacks.

Xu Yuan first congratulated Qiao Yu and Gu Feng.

Then he asked worriedly, "Since this is an unlucky shop, isn't Brother Qiao worried about the bad feng shui?"

Qiao Yu rolled her eyes at him.

"Brother Gu and I were just about to go out to the Funing Temple to ask the master to come to our store to perform a ritual."

Xu Yuan touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to have delayed your important business.

However, I am familiar with Master Fuman of Funing Temple, so I can go with you.

Master Fuman doesn't come out often, so considering the money from my family's incense offerings, he should agree to your request."

Qiao Yu hadn't thought of this and quickly thanked him.

Xu Ning didn't listen to what they were saying at this moment. His mind was full of the delicious taste of the century egg and lean meat porridge.

He had just eaten three baskets of dumplings in the morning and now he felt hungry again.

After Xu Yuan and Qiao Yu finished talking, they also noticed that her husband was abnormal, and asked anxiously, "What happened to Aning?"

Xu Ning shook her head a little embarrassedly: "I'm fine, husband."

But how could Xu Yuan hide the fact that he was hungry?

Xu Yuan shamelessly said to Qiao Yu: "Brother Qiao, do you have any preserved egg and lean meat porridge left? I'm a little hungry."

Qiao Yu looked at Gu Feng for confirmation. He had finished his meal and didn't care about anything else. Only Gu Feng, who had finished eating, would know if there was any more.

Gu Feng thought for a moment and said, "It seems there is still a little left. I'll go take a look."

As he said that, he went to the kitchen to check.

After a while, Gu Feng brought over a small bowl of warm porridge and two salted duck eggs cut in half with red oil.

Fortunately, there was a little bit left, and the white orchid had been left next to the stove, so it hadn’t gotten cold yet.

As soon as Xu Ning saw the red-hearted salted duck eggs, he exclaimed: "This salted duck egg is really well pickled."

"You guys just came at the right time. The salted duck eggs I pickled earlier are all ready. Bring some back to eat later. They're delicious with porridge."

Xu Ning nodded quickly.

Xu Yuan placed the porridge and salted duck eggs in front of Xu Ning: "Aning, try it."

Xu Ning started eating with a red face.

Seeing Xu Ning eating so happily, Xu Yuan also became greedy and whispered, "Husband, would you like to have a bite?"

Xu Ning fed him another bite with a red face, and also picked up some red oil egg core for him to taste.

Xu Yuan ate so much that his eyebrows raised.

"Brother Qiao, this porridge is really delicious. I want salted duck eggs too, a thousand of them."

The corners of Qiao Yu's mouth twitched.

"Salted duck eggs take longer to marinate. I'll get back to you after I see how many duck eggs I can collect today."

Xu Yuan expressed her understanding, and then concentrated on sharing the delicious food with her husband.

Qiao Yu looked at Gu Feng helplessly. The relationship between her sworn brother and her husband was really good.

I never shy away from them.

After the two of them finished sharing, they chatted with Qiao Yu about the recent situation of playing cards and the soap factory.

This month, Qiao Yu’s dividend may be over a thousand.

Qiao Yu couldn't help but sigh that the profit from duck eggs sounded high, but it was nothing compared to these two businesses.

The main issue is quantity. As a small workshop, they are destined to not be able to produce enough goods.

And the source of duck eggs is also a problem.

As we chatted, it was time to prepare lunch.

Xu Yuan smiled and asked Qiao Yu: "Brother Qiao, what are we going to eat for lunch today?"

Qiao Yu smiled mysteriously: "You are so lucky today, I just want to make something delicious."

He bought so many small clay pots yesterday, and he was thinking that he must make a clay pot rice today.

So I brought back twenty small casseroles.

As soon as Xu Ning heard it, he knew it was another new food and said excitedly, "I'll help."

-

However, when Qiao Yu arrived in the kitchen, he found that he had overlooked a very important issue.

His stove was not suitable for such a small clay pot. There were two stoves in the kitchen, but they could only make two bowls of clay pot rice at a time.

Qiao Yu was a little depressed. It seemed that if the new store was to sell casserole-related foods, the stove would have to be remodeled.
