Song Tan Jishi

   Chapter 522 522. Buy eggs

   "What money?"

While fiddling with her mobile phone, Ulan said: "In the early years, when Tan Tan was young, someone came to collect it at 8 cents a catty. Her father took a big tea scissors and did it on the mountain. A few days."

  At that time, there were no electric diesels, and everyone had to hold large iron scissors by hand. After a few days of work, people will be useless.

Now…

  Zhang Yanping pondered for a while: "Cutting tea leaves should be cut a lot, right? 8 cents a catty, at least it is an income, and the price must have increased now."

  Pruning is divided into light cutting and heavy cutting.

  Light pruning is to cut only the green and irregular part on the top, and heavy pruning is to cut off more than half of the old branches. The lower the tea branches, the heavier they are.

  8 cents a catty, it is really a lot of income.

  But Ulan shook his head: "It's a good idea...Eight cents a catty, people don't want to let go of old branches."

"Besides, people who do business are not fools now. Seeing that there are not many people working in the village, they have to raise the price if they want to collect tea branches. They simply don't talk about the price—your family is willing to sell, and they are responsible for bringing the big machines. Go up the mountain and cut directly."

   "After cutting it and transporting it away, we farmers can save energy. Although there is no income, it can save labor, and the tea leaves in the spring of next year will not grow badly."

   "In the past, Tan Tan's father went out to work, and the tea at home was sold in this way."

  Zhang Yanping was amazed.

   "It means... two boxes of beer for the cut tea leaves?"

"Otherwise, look, there are only a few households in the village. He just gives 80 cents a catty, and there is no one! Hire someone to cut the tea leaves. If you even have a machine with oil, you can't afford it without 400 yuan a day, no matter what. Meals have to be calculated separately—do you calculate how much tea leaves you need to cut?”

   What's more, I can't give you 8 cents.

  Ulan waved his hand while talking:

   "Since our tea is going to be used this year, I won't register, and I don't lack those two boxes of beer—I'll go buy eggs."

   On the other side, Zhang Yanping retracted her neck silently, turned her head and said to Seventh Cousin: "Look, I'm better than Shen Wansan."

  Business people, who has no calculations in mind!

  Seventh Cousin: …

  He looked at the handful of broken tea branches and leaves that Qiao Qiao cut in the pot, and simply waved his hand:

   "Boil the water, I'll cook the eggs later! I can't believe it, the tea leaves are so fragrant, and the old branches still have a little taste."

"But..." Qiao Qiao looked at the thick and thin branches in the pot, and couldn't help but wondered: "But other people use leaves to make tea eggs, so we use tea tree sticks, can it work? Will it be astringent when boiled?" ?”

   As he spoke, he picked up a branch and chewed it in his mouth.

   Seventh Cousin was also silent.

   Then he looked at Qiao Qiao: "Is it astringent?"

  Qiao Qiao nodded: "It's a bit astringent, and a little bit bitter."

   Come on!

  The dream of tea eggs is broken.

  But it doesn't matter, Qiao Qiao has already picked out the broken leaves inside: "We can bring back the tea branch, and then peel off the leaves and fry them to cook eggs."

Huh?

   Seventh Cousin thought about it: It’s not impossible.

   As for the branches…

   "Then boil the eggs with the leaves, and use the branches to bacon and roast duck!"

  Good guy, the old and the young are thinking about it, obviously they are all good at living.

  Zhang Yanping: …

  He thought for a while: "Then let's try it first. If it's delicious, Tan Tan, you and Qi Cousin will prepare some more and sell them in Tao Tao Treasure Store?"

   This kind of tea egg marinade bag is a little cheaper, so it should work.

  Seventh Cousin looked over in an instant, the meaning in his eyes was too straightforward——Zhang Yanping, you still said you don't know how to do business!

  Song Tan was listening silently, and finally couldn't help but say: "Now the family really doesn't have such difficulties..."

  It was hard at first, it was to catch up with the weather.

  The hard work later was to make the family feel safe and enrich the dining table by the way.

   Later... To be precise, since the move, apart from Ulan and Song Sancheng, who couldn't be free, there was basically no particularly intense work at home, and they were all hired to do it.

   The busiest thing is picking peaches these days.

   If you prepare this marinade bag, won’t it be hard to have a little time in midsummer and have a new job?

  The seventh cousin looked at her disapprovingly:

"When the money is used, I hate it! Now the family has money, and when the barren hills start to be built, your little money is not enough to open up wasteland... I don't want your share. I will write down the ingredients later, and you can find someone to pack it yourself. .”

   An old man, with a house and savings, eats and drinks well every day, and sleeps soundly. Why do you want to share this money?

  When he was fishing, it was because he worked hard, and the seventh cousin who deserved it would not give up.

   But the recipe for tea eggs... the ingredients can be searched for hundreds of versions online, how dare he ask for money!

  Thinking of this, Seventh Cousin became more and more reasonable: "Besides, it has nothing to do with money or not—you are willing to use such a good thing as firewood? Isn't this a waste?"

  Song Tan: …OK. Don't waste it.

   Next, continue to hire people to work!

  Anyway, with such an arrangement, people in the whole village probably don't have much time to rest before winter.

  …

   And here, Ulan also found a family who raised chickens with familiarity—

   "Sister-in-law Wang, do you have any eggs at home? I'll buy some."

  Sister-in-law Wang had gone up the mountain to pick peaches before, and when she heard the shout, she quickly came out of the house: "Didn't your family raise chickens? Why, haven't you laid eggs in the past few months?"

  There are no secrets in the village, what Song Tan's family raises, everyone knows better than anyone else in the chat.

   It’s just that the chickens and pigs are raised in the back mountain. To go there, you have to go around Song Tan’s house. Most people don’t go to see it.

  Ulan also knows the importance of keeping a low profile:

"Hey, there are only a few chickens that are free-range on the mountain, and they only lay so many eggs. This time his cousin said he wanted to make tea eggs. I was thinking that the whole family would eat dozens of them, and it would take a long time to save them! Why don't you come and buy some."

  Sister-in-law Wang didn't doubt either: "Yes, how many families do you have..."

  For a family, there are 13 or 4 people for a meal, and a table will not be crowded. If it's dumplings, I can't wait to make a bag of noodles for a meal...

  I can't bear it, I can't bear it.

  Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang felt tired and panicked.

   "If I knew that there were so many people in your family, I shouldn't have bought all native chickens at that time. You had to add some breed chickens. They grow fast and lay eggs quickly... Our local native chickens have grown like that for a few years."

Ulan also looked helpless: "I didn't expect there to be so much work at home... If you want me to say, I don't want to raise chickens. It's not a matter of daily expenses, and I have to worry about finding food for them... It's not that children have to raise chickens." Is it okay for her to sell goods online now, so let her go. "

"Too…"

  While the two were chatting, Mrs. Wang quickly picked up 40 eggs and came out: "These are all just laid in the past few days, and the fresh ones haven't had time to sell yet—is it enough?"

   "Enough is enough."

  Ulan quickly responded.

   It's daytime! Last night I finished writing and ate crayfish and cucumber eggs. I really like crayfish that are half-sized but not tender...
