60s Splendid Life

Aunt Qin took a bite of the zongzi, and found that the zongzi they made this year was better than the ones they made themselves in previous years. Not only was the glutinous rice mixed with reed leaves fragrant, but also the meat was fried fragrantly, with enough oil and water. , and the salted duck eggs are salty and fragrant when you bite into them, "Thanks to Xiaojin, Xiaojin helped fry the stuffing for the dumplings this year, and Xiaojin brought the duck eggs after salting."

Lu Dequan looked at Lu Jin, and he didn't forget that this kid changed all his work points into meat today. It's no wonder their rice dumplings are so delicious this year.

"No, no, it's all thanks to the aunt and sister-in-law, otherwise I wouldn't be able to make so many zongzi by myself." Lu Jin said modestly.

"Xiao Jin, don't be modest, our zongzi are so delicious, it's thanks to you. How do you salt the duck eggs, you have to teach us how to salt them later." Wang Xiumei likes to eat the salted duck eggs inside, which are more delicious than the pork inside. Be delicious.

"Sure, sister-in-law, I'll teach you how to pickle the duck eggs when you save them. The salted duck eggs are delicious, so steam them in the morning and serve them as porridge." One salted duck egg, Lu Jin, can eat two large bowls of porridge. There is still red oil in the salted duck eggs, unlike the egg yolks used to make dumplings, the oil has already drained.Last time he pickled a lot of salted duck eggs, and he kept some at home. Later, they can steam them and send them porridge in the morning, so that they don't even have to prepare vegetables.

Some people in the countryside raise ducks, and some people raise ducks in exchange for duck eggs.

While eating rice dumplings, Lu Jin thought in his heart that he would have to ask his sister-in-law Xiumei to help him bring back a batch of duck eggs. Selling salted duck eggs seemed like a good idea?

Several children were eating zongzi, and they ate all of them without raising their heads. Brothers Da Mao and Er Mao wanted a second zongzi after they finished eating one. One of them came over with a bowl of rice porridge.Fortunately, the two little guys drank a bowl of rice porridge each, and their stomachs were really full, so they stopped clamoring for zongzi.

Seeing his two children looking at him eagerly, Lu Jin shook his head at them and asked them to have some porridge too.Only Xiao Baoer, who has a small appetite, is full after eating a zongzi, and there is no one who wants to continue eating like his brothers and sisters.

After making all the zongzi at noon, he left the cooking of the zongzi to Mrs. Qin and sister-in-law Xiumei, and Lu Jin took their children home first.

***

In the evening, his sister-in-law Xiumei brought him a big pot of zongzi. Lu Jin was a little surprised, "Sister-in-law, why did you send me so many zongzi? Do you have any left?" He made some of them, and he knew exactly how many zongzi there were. There were at least half of the zongzi in this pot.

"Yes, yes, enough. Our family still has half of it." Wang Xiumei helped carry the zongzi to Lu Jin's kitchen, and poured the zongzi out into the dustpan that Lu Jin brought, "Sister-in-law will go back first."

"Hey, my sister-in-law is free to come and sit down." Lu Jin sent someone out to the door, and when he came back, he saw their two children running into the kitchen and staring at the rice dumplings. When he came back, he looked up at him.

Knowing that the two children were not satisfied after eating a zongzi today and still wanted to eat zongzi, Lu Jin had to take another zongzi and pass it over to each of them. He had agreed in advance, "If you eat another one, you are not allowed to eat it. If you eat too many zongzi In order to make it difficult to digest, we can only eat two at most a day, and I will steam a few more for you tomorrow."

Zongzi is delicious, but because it is made of glutinous rice, children's stomachs are weak, and it is easy to accumulate food if they eat too much, so Lu Jin dare not give them so many zongzi.

"Hmm, thank you brother!"

The two siblings each took a zongzi and ran away happily.

Looking at the two children who ran away, Lu Jin shook his head, took a zongzi and peeled it off to eat.In the evening, because a few children were not too hungry after eating zongzi, he cooked a pot of millet porridge, steamed four salted duck eggs, went outside the yard to pick two tender cucumbers, patted them, and took them out. It was their day It's dinner.

The next day he took little Bao'er to the town, and the two children in the family stayed at home. They left home every two weeks, and the children in the family were used to it.

But before leaving, Lu Jin still said hello to Mrs. Qin next door, and asked her neighbors to help them take care of the children at home.

This time it happened that Lu Enhua was going to the town to buy fertilizer, so they went to the town on the tractor driven by Lu Enhua.The few times they went to the town before, except for the first time when they took the tractor in the village, the rest of the times were when he carried the child on his back to the passing car halfway.

Of course, it is much easier for them to have a car than to walk by themselves.

This time, there was no captain Lu to accompany them, and they sat in the front of the car, but the two of them were not very familiar with each other, and they didn't say a few words along the way.

Their tractor was stopped several times on the road, and Lu Enhua stopped the car for people to get on.

So from the two brief encounters, Lu Jin could tell that this person was a cold-faced and warm-hearted person.

When the car arrived at the gate of the town, Lu Enhua stopped the tractor to let everyone get off, and asked him when he would go back.Lu Jin got out of the car with the child in his arms, thanked everyone and replied, "It may take two days before I go back."

The young man sitting on the tractor nodded to him, then drove the tractor away.

Just like when he came back to the town a few times before, Lu Jin first took Xiao Baoer to the Shen's house, gave the rice dumplings to Mrs. Shen, and left Xiao Baoer to play with Shen Xing at Mrs. Shen's place. String zongzi to Dr. Liu.

After delivering the zongzi to Dr. Liu, he went to the black market, met Brother Monkey, and showed him the newly made fermented bean curd.

This batch of fermented bean curd is stored in his space, which is faster than the jars in the tofu workshop. He made two flavors himself, one is original and the other is spicy.Two days ago, Lu Jin opened a jar and tasted it, and found that it was not much different from the fermented bean curd he made before.

"What is this?" Liu Zhun asked Lu Jin, who had never seen fermented bean curd.

"Tofu milk can be eaten directly or stewed with meat. I have two flavors here, one original and one spicy. You can try both. Don't stuff the whole piece in your mouth, use this point." Lu Jin took out A small piece of fermented bean curd, and a bamboo stick was passed to the other party.

Liu Zhun took the bamboo stick and ordered fermented bean curd, put it in his mouth and tasted it, "..." Well, how should I put it?He was not used to this taste, but after tasting it for the second time, he found that the taste became more and more fragrant?Looking at Lu Jin with some surprises in his eyes, he asked, "Do you have the goods? What's the price?"

"Well, there are not many goods. It costs 20 yuan a jar. You can take such a jar back home, buy a batch of small jars, and then sell them in small jars. Such a jar weighs four or five catties. See The size of the jar you got, if you make a smaller jar, it should be able to hold a lot of jars." Lu Jin took out a jar from his back basket and showed it to Liu Zhun. Of course, selling it is not as convenient as selling the whole jar. Of course, if you sell it in small jars, you can earn more.

It’s just that compared with retailing, he thinks the risk of wholesale is lower and the money comes in faster.

Liu Zhun took the jar and tested the weight, and calculated in his mind how much he could sell for a jar divided into small jars, and how much money he could make with such a jar, "Eighteen?"

"Let's not negotiate the price anymore. If I want to talk to you, I will quote a higher price." The two have been in business for so long, and Lu Jin has always quoted the real price, or he would have quoted 22 or He is 25, and he will never quote a price of [-] and let the other party kill him for two dollars.

"...I'm sorry, I'm used to it." Liu Zhun reached out and touched his nose, it was true, he was just used to bargaining with others, but if Lu Jin didn't bargain for him, he always felt that he couldn't take advantage of it.

"I still have some chili peppers here, brother, you can try them together." Later, Lu Jin also gave Liu Zhun chili sauce to taste. He made three flavors of chili sauce, one with only chili peppers, and the other with The one with peanuts in it, and the one with beef in it, so the three kinds of chili sauces have different tastes and prices. Of course, the one with meat in it will be more expensive.

Liu Zhun was so hot that tears came down his face. He suspected that Lu Jin was revenge for his bargaining just now, but he had to say that the more he ate this chili, the more delicious it was, and the spicier it became, the more fragrant it was. He wanted to buy a jar and put it at home slowly. Eating slowly, eating something with steamed buns is simply not too delicious.

The two talked about the sale in the corner, and set the price of the goods.Anyway, Lu Jin is offering wholesale prices. As for how the other party sells it and who to sell it to, he doesn't care about it. He only cares about shipping and collecting money, as long as the accounts match.

When he was leaving, Lu Jin took a bunch of four zongzi from the basket and gave it to the other party, "I made the zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival yesterday, and I'll bring you two to try."

"Well, this zongzi smells really good, do you want to sell it?" Liu Zhun didn't expect that he also had zongzi, and he could smell the fragrance through the leaves of the zongzi.

"...No." Lu Jin saw that this person was looking for money. What kind of rice dumplings are you selling after the Dragon Boat Festival?He suggested: "Why don't you eat it and sell it? I use salted duck eggs and pork buns to ensure the first quality." As far as the zongzi he made himself, he still dares to be sure that someone will be willing to pay for it. .

"Forget it, I'll keep it for myself to eat." Liu Zhun was the first to refuse when he heard that he wanted to sell the zongzi in his hand. He didn't eat the zongzi yesterday!The zongzi was still a little warm when I touched it with my hand, "Can I eat it now?"

"Okay, you can eat." Anyway, he put it in the space, which means it was just cooked and left for a while yesterday.

After talking about the matter, Lu Jin planned to leave. He also left some samples of each new product for the other party to promote, and the other party asked to leave the jar of fermented bean curd. "I have to leave beforehand. Give me the list tomorrow, and I will release the goods." Over there for you."

"Okay, let's go." Liu Zhun peeled off a rice dumpling and ate it, biting down, the taste was really amazing!After a few mouthfuls, one zongzi is gone.Looking up again, Lu Jin's back has long since disappeared. Why don't you talk to someone about selling zongzi tomorrow?
