Xu Qing didn't know how Jiang He slept, anyway, he slept very comfortably that night, and slept until dawn.
What do you mean the spring bed is uncomfortable... It's just that one person can't sleep well. After lying on the bed that Jiang He has slept on for a long time, it is equivalent to sleeping on a person and a half.
Xu. Chihan. Qing was very satisfied. It was nearly nine o'clock when he woke up, and Jiang He didn't bother him when he woke up an hour late, which seemed to be a tacit understanding all along.
It was probably the habit he developed when Jiang He first came to sleep until 9:10 every day, and then got up earlier and earlier, but he still didn't call each other to get up.
Jiang He had finished practicing and was staring at the computer desktop... I don't know how long he stared at it. When Xu Qing went out, he saw the desktop, which should have been switched a few seconds ago.
I don't know what strange things to study in the morning.
This behavior made Xu Qing more aware of Jiang He's growth. If calculated according to the modern growth model, she is probably already a teenage girl with her own little secret.
"The porridge is in the pot." Jiang He reminded, before operating the computer after a pause.
"have you eaten?"
"Not yet, waiting for you."
"You can eat first by yourself, or you can wake me up."
"I'm in no hurry."
Xu Qing was noncommittal, nine o'clock is not too late, and breakfast is usually after eight o'clock.
Yawning, he went to the bathroom to put some water, and then came out to wash up. After everything was done, he served porridge with Jiang He, and settled for breakfast with pickles.
Pickles were bought in bags at the supermarket at the beginning. Occasionally, some hard roots and skins in them affected the taste, like dry firewood that could not be chewed. Although it was good with porridge, it was always uncomfortable. Later, Xu Qing bought it. A big white radish, try to pickle it by yourself, unexpectedly it is not bad.
So Jianghe also learned it, and also studied and improved it. Cut the white radish into small strips, sprinkle with salt to kill the water, squeeze it dry, then mix it with a layer of spicy sauce, ginger and garlic, and a layer of radish. After it is done, it is crisp and delicious. One bite of porridge pickle.
"The ones you make yourself are much tastier than the ones you bought." Xu Qing ate the old ones on the plate, which were delicious.
After the old ones are eaten, the new ones will become old ones, and then Jiang He will add new ones, and the children and grandchildren will be endless.
"It's always better to buy than to make it yourself."
"Is there such a strange thing?"
"It's obviously strange here." Jiang He felt very confused, "How can someone buy something that you spend money on and haven't cooked yourself? It has long been replaced by good craftsmanship, and you can't survive."
Xu Qing held the bowl in his hand for a moment, speechless for a moment, thought for a while and said: "...what you said really makes sense."
"Then why hasn't anyone replaced them?"
"This question is profound. There are many aspects. If you ask me, I can't answer it."
A simple pickle, even if he knows how to make it, when Xu Qing lived alone, he would go to the supermarket to buy bagged ones. He would rather endure the flaws inside than buy a radish to make by himself.
"Do you think that what you cook is better than theirs, so you can sell it and replace them?" Xu Qing asked looking at her.
"I thought about it for a while, but it's definitely not possible." Jiang He admitted, "If it is feasible, we should be able to buy delicious food."
"Well, that's right."
Xu Qing was happy that she could come to this conclusion.
Although she is limited by cognition and there are still some things she doesn't understand, she has mastered higher-level thinking and has a complete and clear thinking logic.
Instead of foolishly thinking that the more delicious our pickles are, the better they will sell.
"This is not setting up a stall on the street. If you are facing a street of customers, if you can do better than the one next to you, you will naturally be able to replace him, replace him, and those who do not do well will not be able to survive. This is true."
"What's wrong with that?"
"It's not a must. It's just that some people occasionally want to eat it, so they buy it for instant noodles or breakfast. If you want to ensure your life, you have to sell it in large quantities. Spread the market, and you can't live on one street alone."
Xu Qing took a bite of the radish and said nothing, waiting for her to think for herself.
After being quiet for a while, Jiang He frowned and said, "It can be sold in various supermarkets, and you don't have to push the cart out by yourself. Is this their confidence?"
"Hmm... I didn't use the right confidence, and the product was finally selected by the market."
Xu Qing was already full at this time, wiped his mouth and put down the bowl, explaining: "Simply put, if we want to spread out, we must ensure the supply, production, storage, transportation and sales in the middle... these messes, The cost is very high. For a pickle, it is not worth such a high price. It can only reduce the cost and make an assembly line, so the quality will go down. This is a matter of no choice. The same price, you can only fight for who The profits are lower, and whoever tastes better in a cost range competes in this way.”
"..."
Jiang He was exposed to this concept for the first time, and felt that he understood something for a while, but he seemed to have learned nothing.
"Besides, there are customers' needs. People who want to buy pickles in the supermarket, those who have simple and easy plans, and those who want to try it occasionally, and those who can only eat steamed buns and pickles due to temporary embarrassment... Stable like you and me Those who cook for themselves are not their target customers, and what we think is bad taste is not a problem at all, or can be tolerated by others.”
Seeing that she was already full, Xu Qing stood up to clean up the dishes and continued, "Simply put, don't take your own needs as the needs of others.
If you don’t want to make that kind of delicious and inexpensive pickles yourself, you can only look for them in those small shops. Some of them sell cold salads, and they are sold as by-products. They are weighed by the catty, and they are very delicate Similar to what we do ourselves, their target customers are you and me. "
"Is it so complicated?" Jiang He came back to his senses.
She thought that the delicious ones were better than the bad ones, and it was easier to make money.
"There are more complicated things, such as economy, packaging, and operation... It also involves the company, capital, and a bag of pickles for 50 cents. It can be sent here from thousands of miles away to be bought by you. This is not simple in itself."
Jiang He leaned against the kitchen door, watching Xu Qing washing dishes at the sink, and after a moment of silence, he sighed quietly: "It's not easy to do anything..."
"It's actually easy. Opening an online store and selling one-to-one can save you most of the trouble, but there are other troubles, such as how to compete with others, how to expose your store, how to attract customers... How should I put it, you just came here I told you when I was here, this is a world that relies on brains to make money."
Xu Qing is very patient. Such an ancient semi-literate person can be relied on. He only cooks and cleans without worrying about his brain.
Choosing an ordinary life by yourself and having to be ordinary are two experiences, and it is also the difference between happiness and misfortune.
"So I ask you to study more, think more, and don't rush to make money...Of course, this is just my suggestion. I don't object to making money, but I really hope that you can live a better life."
"How good is it to live better?" Jiang He's eyes were complicated.
At the beginning, Erniang also said similar things, saying that she wanted to live a better life.
Is it just because you like it? Everything in the world is exchanged at equal value, Xu Qing has always been so good, but it made her a little uneasy.
"That's up to you."
Xu Qing smiled, what do you mean by living better? Isn't it just that cats eat fish, dogs eat meat, and Ultraman fights little monsters.
"There is a saying called sitting in a well and looking at the sky. Only when you climb to the mouth of the well can you know how big the outside is. Whether you like the scenery outside, get out of your comfort zone, or drill back into the well after seeing the prosperity outside, it is everyone's own choice. good life."
He hoped that Jiang He would live to understand that if he wanted to be free in the future, he could let her go.
Like a person, selfishness and selflessness have always coexisted and contradicted each other.
"I'm also afraid that if I cheat you, it will be over if you want to climb out in the future. Let me make it clear now, at least I won't feel too guilty about cheating you into bed."
Xu Qing changed the subject, feeling confident and confident.
