With her back to her uncle, Xia Xiaolan's mother and daughter lived a very moist life.
Especially with the advent of busy farming, rural families rush to collect food. The Xia family can't finish their work in the field. They really don't have time to come to Qijing village to find Xia Xiaolan's mother and daughter. Xia Xiaolan poured eggs in the city. Within two days, her business was smooth. She spoke briskly, looked very good, and had principles in business, but she was very generous within the scope of principles - the workers of the agricultural machinery factory and the meat joint factory knew that there were more eggs outside the factory these days, and the eggs sold were very fresh.
She started to go to Anqing county every day, but in two days, she sold nearly 2000 eggs. Although it's hard to ride around in the countryside and county every day, her hard work is fruitful. She can earn about 10 yuan a day on average. With little capital and no contacts, Xia Xiaolan can only take her time to make money. She doesn't make too much money every day, but Liu Fen is very satisfied.
In the evening, Xia Xiaolan returned home and the mother and daughter counted the income of the day. The money in the cloth pocket is poured on the table. Most of them are scattered hair tickets, one yuan and fifty cents... The smallest is the split ticket. Xia Xiaolan vowed that the banknotes with "split" as the face value she had seen in her previous life do not add up to more than these days!
Liu Fen sorted out all the money and felt like a dream:
"Money is really so easy to earn, don't others know?"
Liu Fen's question is good. It proves that she began to think.
Xia Xiaolan smiled: "I know I can make money, and not everyone can do this business."
Of course, there were opportunities everywhere in the 1980s, but no one became a billionaire. When the opportunity comes, you have to have courage and luck! Just like Xia Xiaolan's business, some people in Qijing village must be jealous. First, the grain in the field is waiting for people to collect, and they can't spare hands. Second, if they have hands, they must have Xia Xiaolan's courage to make a mess - there are profits and losses in doing business. Reselling eggs is not only hard, but also risky. What if the eggs don't sell? What if all the eggs fall on the road? The cost of nearly 100 yuan will be lost if you are not careful.
Even if Xia Xiaolan lost money, she made a great comeback. She used to be an executive of a multinational company. This little failure can't hit her at all.
But for the rural people of 83 years, the loss of nearly 100 yuan is the money they can save for more than half a year. If they say no, they will be gone. How many times can they afford to lose money?
Xia Xiaolan collected the money. "The egg business will not be easy to do in a few days. Didn't I ask my uncle to help collect eels? I want to try it in the provincial capital. "
In the rice fields of the Liu family, you can easily get dozens of kilograms of loach, crucian carp and Monopterus albus. There is really no shortage of them in the countryside.
Misgurnus anguillicaudatus has a earthy smell.
The crucian carp raised in the rice field will be praised by later generations. Who wants to eat it now? Fuel consumption, more thorns, less meat... It can't be ranked in the "four big fish", which shows how unpopular this thing is. And a metaphor for some fashionable things, commonly used "crucian carp crossing the river", imagine the number of crucian carp!
Monopterus albus is different. It is a tonic and can be sold at a high price at any time.
Even now, it will catch up with the pork price, but it is not easy to sell in Anqing County unless it is taken to the provincial capital.
Crucian carp and loach sell cheaply. Xia Xiaolan is too lazy to toss about. She asks Liu Yong to tell the people in xiaqijing village that she wants to collect eel as well as eggs. But now we are busy harvesting rice. Except for children who have taken a few catties to sell, there is no large business. She's not in a hurry. The eel can always catch it in October.
Even if others dislike crucian carp and loach, Xia Xiaolan has a way to eat.
Xia Xiaolan's cooking is average, but she knows a lot. In order to entertain customers, which of the north and South cuisines has she never eaten?
The loach and crucian carp Liu Yong brought home before spit out the sediment, drop some vegetable oil in the pot, fry the crucian carp over low heat until both sides are golden, add water and stew over low heat. It takes a little effort to stew the fish into the soup. Xia Xiaolan asked everyone in the family to drink fish soup. She focuses on Liu Fen and Taotao. Liu Fen is as thin as an African refugee. Taotao doesn't pay much calcium. Later, her height will be tragic with the Liu family.
The loach is cooked with chili sauce, add some tofu, and put some garlic when starting the pot.
The food arrangement of the Liu family is very good. Aunt Liu Fengmei is very satisfied with Xia Xiaolan.
However, Liu Fen can't accompany Xia Xiaolan to the city these two days. The mother and daughter live here. They will never let Liu Yong and his wife go to the field to collect rice. Liu Fen also wants to help.
"You should pay attention when you go to the County alone."
Before Xia Xiaolan went out, Liu Fen also went to the field to cut rice. Before the sun came out, she cut the rice rod and had to thresh the rice. Now there is no mechanical operation, so she has to rely on labor.
"I see, mom! Don't be too tired. "
Xia Xiaolan rode her bike to the county. She has nearly filled the egg market share of the two factories these days. It is impossible for someone to buy so many eggs every day. More than 400 eggs were transported at a time. I ran to Anqing County twice a day. When I came to sell eggs for the second time today, I stayed in the agricultural machinery factory for a long time, and there were still about 100 eggs left.
Xia Xiaolan wanted to change places.
She usually doesn't take short cuts. Today, when she delayed selling eggs for a long time, she rode through a small alley.
She did not know that after selling eggs in the county for several days, the reputation of "egg beauty" had spread. She is beautiful and carries the cash for selling eggs every day. Someone is thinking about starting with Xia Xiaolan.
Xia Xiaolan is a little complacent. After all, she hasn't met any hooligans on her scissors for several days.
On the other side of the alley is the opening of the main road. She pedaled her bicycle pedal hard, but the basket of the car was caught:
"Little sister, why are you so flustered? Let's buy eggs!"
Suddenly, she was slammed on the brake, and she almost didn't fall to the ground. The basket in the back seat of the bicycle hit the ground heavily. Xia Xiaolan felt heartache. She didn't know how many eggs were broken!
A man rushed to the front and blocked her way.
The other two men dragged her bike. Xia Xiaolan stood straight. The big scissors had been blocked by her sleeves and held in her hand.
The situation is a little bad. Three young men who are in a good mood look at her from head to foot. They clearly wear long sleeved trousers to protect her from the sun. Their obscene eyes are like she doesn't wear clothes... I'm afraid it can't be good today. Xia Xiaolan is not as frightened as ordinary girls. She doesn't have nonsense at all. She opens her mouth and yells:
"Help!! Some people play hooligans and indecent women! Help, they're blocking me in the alley! "
Xia Xiaolan's sharp voice frightened the three hooligans.
A man hurriedly covered Xia Xiaolan's mouth. She picked up the scissors and stabbed her. The man bared his teeth in pain:
"Bitch, do you think we haven't inquired about you? You two hold her down quickly, bitch, and dare to stab me with scissors! "
Xia Xiaolan leaned back against the wall and waved the scissors in her hand. She didn't stop shouting. Anyway, she didn't let people get close. She shouted "hooligans, indecent women" and "help". There was a bicycle in front of her. For a moment, no one could get close.
A rogue lost patience and tore his bike away.
Xia Xiaolan shouted and sneered. Someone came to grab her wrist. She looked at each other's eyes and poked them.
The man retreated quickly. His eyelids were scratched by the tip of scissors. He endured the pain and grabbed Xia Xiaolan's braid. Drag her in front of her, and another takes the opportunity to knock off Xia Xiaolan's scissors.
"Bitch, pretend to be a chaste martyr. Who doesn't know you're a broken shoe? Xia Xiaolan from Dahe village! "
