After a long time, the redness on Han Aiguo's ears faded, and he asked Su Yue, "How many eggs do you want?"
Su Yue didn't dare to be too enthusiastic, so she pretended that what just happened didn't happen, and replied, "Give me thirty."
Han Aiguo nodded and asked Su Yue to bring her basket and bring it to her from the egg basket.
His hands are very large, and his aunt is distinct, and his fingers are especially long. He can hold three eggs at a time, and three eggs are like one egg in his hand.
Su Yue stared at his hand until he finished taking the eggs, and then asked, "Brother, how much is the total?"
Although Han Aiguo has been in the army all the year round, he also knows the price. An egg can be sold for seven cents if it sells well, but most of them can only be sold for six cents. He could not sell it to Su Yuegui. sell it to her.
Su Yue didn't rush to pay him, but continued: "Brother, I still want to trouble you with something, I don't know if it's okay."
Han Aiguo raised his eyes and glanced at her, "You said."
"Brother, I want to borrow some fine noodles from your family. I originally wanted to buy them when I went to the commune to go to the market, but I have been busy with farming these days and I can't go there. I don't have any fine noodles at home. I want to borrow some emergency food first. I'll buy it in a few days and return it to your house, okay?"
The reason why Su Yue didn't say to buy directly is because at this time, every household has limited noodles, and there is simply not enough to eat. Generally, they will only take out when there is something to do, so they will not be used for selling money.
After listening to Han Aiguo, he thought about it and said, "Okay, just wait a minute."
He turned around and limped to the kitchen. After a while, he took out a cloth bag and handed it to Su Yue, "This is two kilograms of fine noodles, and there are no more."
Su Yue took it over thankfully, and at the same time did not forget to thank him, "Two kilograms is enough, thank you eldest brother, you are such a nice person."
At this time, people's speeches are simple and straightforward. How can they say "you are so nice" in person. Han Aiguo felt uncomfortable when he heard it, and his ears turned red again.
Su Yue secretly laughed in her heart.
The eggs were also bought, and the noodles were borrowed, so there was nothing to say between the two of them. Su Yue wanted to talk to him about more topics, but after all, this was their first meeting, and the two of them were not even acquaintances. If she was chatting here, he might think she was That kind of girl with ulterior motives, if you don't have a good impression of her, it will be bad.
For the sake of her good image, Su Yue lifted the basket, smiled and waved at him: "Thank you, big brother, I'll go back."
Han Aiguo nodded slightly, but said nothing.
Now Su Yue found out that apart from being cold-faced, this person is also a man who doesn't like to talk.
It seems that if she wants to get acquainted with him, she has to take the initiative.
When she got home, Su Yue returned the two eggs she used in the morning, and then put the rest back in her room and locked it.
The reason why she bought eggs and borrowed white flour was because she wanted to make some chicken cakes. One was to satisfy her cravings, and the other was to see if she could sell it when she went to the market next time. If she could sell the chicken cakes If so, she can also buy more ingredients and come back to make something delicious to improve her meals.
However, these two days are too busy to harvest rice, so the members cannot take time off to go to the market. They can only wait for the end of the farming work, when most of the members will go to the market to buy things.
The next day, Su Yue's stomach was much better. She didn't ask for any more leave, so she went with the others. Although it was still very painful for the next few days, she finally managed to survive the autumn harvest. past.
Not only Su Yue, but all the members heaved a sigh of relief, showing a long-lost smile.
There will be a fair immediately after the autumn harvest. Before Su Yue proposes to go to the market, Wu Xiaoxiao asked first: "But I'm suffocating to death. I'm going to go to the market to buy things. Do you want to go?"
Li Xiaoqing raised his hand, "I'm going too, a lot of things are gone, I have to buy some."
Another educated youth, Mao Lin, also said that she would go. In the end, everyone except Wei Jia had to go.
So the group of four decided to go to the commune together to go to the market together.
The night before the fair, Su Yue took out the eggs and flour she bought and went into the kitchen.
When Li Xiaoqing saw that she had brought out so many good things, her eyes widened slightly, "Su Yue, what are you doing?"
Su Yue explained to her briefly while beating the eggs into a bowl: "I want to make some chicken cakes to eat, and I'm not going to the market tomorrow, so I also want to try and see if I can sell it, and I can exchange it for something for some money. "
Li Xiaoqing is not surprised that Su Yue said that she wants to sell chicken cakes, because it is allowed for ordinary people to sell their own food and vegetables in the market, and many ordinary people secretly sell their own food and old cloth. A lot, we all know that.
But Li Xiaoqing's novelty is what Su Yue is going to do. She has never eaten chicken cake when she grows up, but she has seen and eaten mung bean cake and red bean cake.
Li Xiaoqing didn't go back to the room, and asked, "Su Yue, can I stay and have a look? Don't worry, I'll take a look. I'm not trying to steal the skills. I don't have that skill."
Su Yue stirred the eggs, "It's nothing, just stay if you want."
Li Xiaoqing was very happy, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Is there anything I can help you with? How about I set a fire for you?"
Su Yue's mind moved when she heard the words. She wanted to ask Li Xiaoqing to help her. If she could do this business in the future, she wouldn't be able to work alone. She would not be able to just set fire to it. She is still not very skilled at burning fire. Doing and eating, maybe you will delay things.
Still have to see if the chicken cake can sell.
So Su Yue asked Li Xiaoqing to set a fire for her, while she concentrated on the stove, earnestly making her first cake after coming here.
An hour later, Su Yue asked Li Xiaoqing to turn off the fire, and the first chicken cake was freshly baked.
Li Xiaoqing couldn't wait to get out from behind the stove, sniffing hard against the pot, "Su Yue, it's so fragrant, so fragrant, how can it be more fragrant than mung bean cake and red bean cake! My saliva is drooling."
Su Yue heard it funny, took the steamed chicken cake out of the pot to cool, and at the same time picked up one and handed it to Li Xiaoqing, "Sister Xiaoqing, try it and see if it tastes good."
Li Xiaoqing really wanted to eat it, but she still waved her hand and said, "No, no, this is a good thing. I spent so much eggs, sugar and white flour. What a waste of me eating it, you can take it to the market and sell it."
However, Su Yue took her hand and gave her the cake, "Eat it, can you help me burn the fire for so long, can't I just eat a cake? Don't talk to me, try it now."
"Then I won't be polite to you, I'll eat it." Li Xiaoqing was really greedy for the fragrance, and felt that the greedy worms in his stomach would be pulled out.
When you bite down gently, it is soft and sweet, and it melts in your mouth, and even the nose is full of sweet taste.
Li Xiaoqing's eyes narrowed, and she gave Su Yue a thumbs up, "My Tian Su Yue, you are a chef, it's so delicious, I used to think mung bean cake and red bean cake are delicious, now your chicken cake In comparison, it's far worse, the chicken cake is the best pastry I've ever eaten!"
At this moment, the sound of the system sounded: congratulations to the host, the chicken cake was rated as C, and you can get ten points.
Su Yue looked at the points panel in her mind, at this time the number on it had changed from four to fourteen.
Su Yue smiled happily.
Li Xiaoqing asked again at this time: "Su Yue, how much are you going to sell?"
Su Yue thought about the current price and said, "It's tentatively set at 15 yuan."
Li Xiaoqing was stunned for a while, thinking that the price is a bit expensive. At this time, even the rice is less than 15.1 jin. This piece of chicken cake is comparable to a pound of rice
"Su Yue, can anyone be willing to buy this?"
Su Yue also knows that 15 cents is a lot in this day and age. Many people are reluctant to weigh a pound of meat for half a year and go home to eat it. Think it's crazy.
However, whenever there are poor people, there will be rich people. There is always a certain part of people who are not short of money, but have money but do not have to buy good food to eat. Such people, as long as the food is delicious, they should not care about spending money.
Su Yue intends to sell the chicken cake to these people with good money.
After listening to Su Yue's explanation, Li Xiaoqing was instantly stunned and patted his head, "Look at my brain, I just don't have you. Although we are reluctant to buy it, those who are dual-earners or work in government agencies are all at home. It's not cheap, your chicken cake is so delicious, they must be willing to buy it."
"Hopefully, I have to try it tomorrow." Su Yue took out two more cakes while talking, and cut them into four pieces with a knife, and gave three of them to Li Xiaoqing, "Miss Xiaoqing, please help me to give it to the other three people to try. I will put the cake in a basket and take it to the commune to sell it tomorrow."
Li Xiaoqing looked at the three pieces of pastry and felt a little bit of pain, but thinking about being under the same roof, it would be unreasonable not to give others a taste if there was something good, so he had to endure the pain and give it to others.
Su Yue was amused when she saw that she was more distressed than herself.
Going to the market is a feature of this era. Before dawn the next day, the four educated youth got up to go to the market.
In this era, there were no buses and buses, not even tricycles for pulling people. The members went to the commune to go to the market, and they all walked on their own legs.
It took an hour to walk from Hanjiacun to the commune. Su Yue and the others set off before dawn, and when they got to the town, it was already bright.
Su Yue was so tired that she became a dog, and her feet were almost numb.
On the other hand, the other three were much better, they were all just sweating a little, and it was enough to rest a little, not as exaggerated as Su Yue.
Wu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said to Su Yue: "You are too squeamish, so you can't go this far."
Su Yue is also very helpless. Although her body belongs to the original owner, her tolerance level is her own. She is not as good as the original owner. Her biggest hobby in the past was to stay in the kitchen and study food. She seldom went out for physical exercise, and seldom walked. She seldom even went shopping. When she went out, most of them drove by car. When did she travel such a long distance, and It was still a rough country road.
Too expensive.
