My aunt knows how to live...
Song Tan handed over the bag of dried fish and shrimp with great difficulty. At this moment, she was particularly grateful that her mother had stuffed a few large pumpkins into her bag before she left, and she also handed them out now:
"Aunt, my mom asked me to bring you some pumpkins... Don't be disgusted!"
"Oh my! Oh my!" The eldest aunt was so happy that her teeth were showing. "Don't mind, don't mind! This pumpkin is so delicious! Tantan, stay at home for lunch, and I'll make you a bowl of pumpkin soup!"
Just one bowl?!
This is truly my aunt’s greatest sincerity!
Fortunately, after a while of adapting, Song Tan was able to smile calmly now:
"Aunt, I won't stay. I have things to do at home."
Anyway, whether there is anything wrong or not, you can’t add burden to me!
The aunt really wanted to keep the guests. She couldn't help feeling a little regretful at the moment, but there were too many things in front of her! She just looked at the long pumpkin happily:
"Okay, then you get busy... This pumpkin is great! It's big, I'll cut it in circles to make pumpkin soup later, and I'll cut it in circles for the rest of the meal. It'll be enough to eat for a long time!"
As for the dried fish and shrimp... Oh, there's even pumpkin, so I'll definitely have to hide them for a while!
"What is this? A bag of marinade?" The aunt took out the non-woven bag and pondered for a while: "I don't know if it can be kept until the Chinese New Year? It's much cheaper to stew some meat during the Chinese New Year than to buy it outside!"
Not really... there's still half a year until the Chinese New Year!
Song Tan quickly stopped her, "Aunt, this is for braised tea eggs, not braised meat. But it's the good stuff that my seventh cousin prepared, so it must be very delicious! One pot can cook 20 eggs, and I sell the braised seasoning packets for 20 yuan each!"
The eldest aunt hissed, "20 each? I was planning to sell tea eggs when I was making pancakes in the morning. I can't sell them like this if they are so expensive. I'll add more water! Add water and salt and cook 40 eggs!"
Sent by Tan Tan, this no-cost business can be done for twenty days. She is worthy of being her niece!
As for purchasing tea eggs in the future... my goodness, the most luxurious item on her breakfast street is the ten-yuan beef soup instant noodles, and it comes with extra beef!
How many eggs does she have to cook to make money for twenty-one sauce packets
After all, her egg pancakes are only 4 yuan each, and tea eggs are 1.5 yuan in that area, so no one would buy more than that.
Although my aunt is stingy, she still calculates the accounts clearly and explicitly.
Song Tan: …
As long as you are happy, aunt.
But the eldest aunt is the eldest aunt after all, and she has more than just the food in front of her eyes. At this moment, she put the food down and suddenly asked, "How is it? Is your seventh cousin doing well?"
"It's pretty good."
Song Tan was a little puzzled: "You know the cooking skills of my seventh cousin. He is in his hometown, I wonder how good our food is! Qiao Qiao can cook independently now, my mother is so happy."
"Now, we are going to build a house in the mountains, and we need a chef to cook for the workers. My seventh cousin is helping to find one."
"Oh!" The eldest aunt suddenly sighed: "I originally thought that if you invited him back, not only would he be doing you a favor, but you could also get a house for free when he gets old. That house is worth hundreds of thousands! It's a godsend!"
"But why did I hear that he and his son were sending things to each other? If they are still in contact, the house may not be yours. No matter what, he must be thinking about his son. Tantan, you have to be careful and don't offer too high a salary."
"Otherwise, you will suffer a great loss. If you leave with good food and drink and the old man refuses to admit it, what can you do?"
Although what the aunt said was unpleasant and materialistic, it was a very realistic idea. Song Tan breathed a sigh of relief - she thought the aunt had something important to say!
She didn't like that house in the first place! Isn't the villa at home nice? She had to come to the city. As for the house worth one million or eight hundred thousand—
It's not even as good as her peach.
To be honest, my seventh cousin now gets paid less but does a lot of work. He has to make snacks and midnight snacks from time to time and contribute some recipes...
With such efforts, if he really gave her a house, Song Tan would feel unworthy of it.
But my family understands this, and it would be difficult for my aunt, who would rather split every penny in half, to accept this.
Song Tan couldn't tell her that his peach garden had earned more than one million this year. At this moment, he could only nod with a confident look on his face:
"Don't worry, aunt, I know."
…
In the summer, people get up too early, so when Song Tan returned from his aunt's house, it was only nine o'clock.
There was a trailer parked in front of the door. Song Sancheng looked around the door, afraid that it would damage the newly built concrete floor. The excavator guy was already sitting in the yard, chowing down on a watermelon in his hand!
At the same time, he did not forget to look up at the middle-aged man opposite him:
"How is it? Uncle, is this meal worth it?"
The other person was even more greedy than him. He buried his head in the melon rind and was reluctant to lift it up. He just nodded randomly.
Wu Lan handed him a watermelon and laughed at him: "You said that, last time you dug a hole for my family, it only cost a few hundred yuan, this time it's 1,500 yuan."
This made the excavator guy very anxious!
He quickly explained: "Aunt, there weren't many rocks on your hill last time, so I didn't even use a breaker!"
And I didn’t work a full shift, but I wasn’t driving my own excavator at the time. Since I was here and the food was so delicious, I spent time and effort to help them prepare the land in a more detailed manner just to get a free meal…
Now, even if he doesn’t count the labor costs for his own excavator, he still has to calculate the fuel costs, and the price cannot be lowered.
well!
Wulan also knew this, and she knew that the young man worked hard, so he was just joking this time.
Qiao Qiao, however, squatted in the shadow of the door, staring at the weathered yellow excavator in front of him without blinking, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Brother, can I live broadcast you driving the excavator?"
His eyes seemed to be full of stars, and his whole face was full of anticipation: "I'm sure the kids have never seen an excavator digging a mountain!"
The guy working the excavator was very straightforward: "Sure! What's wrong with that? But you have to stay away from my car while you're working. Don't get too close."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Qiao looked at him again and asked seriously, "Then... Brother, are you working now?"
Excavator guy: ...
The melon he was eating didn't smell good anymore. He looked at the glaring sun above his head and said, "Brother, it's so hot. I'll do it for you in the afternoon."
"Oh." Qiao Qiao nodded somewhat disappointedly, then took her phone back into the house: "Then I'll charge it first."
Song Tan laughed and then shouted, "Qiao Qiao, don't worry, the afternoon they are talking about doesn't start after lunch - it's in the evening!"
Qiao Qiao turned her head away instantly, her disappointment obvious.
Excavator guy: ...
It's almost 40 degrees at noon and you want me to drive an excavator? It's better to just hang it up and dry it in the sun.
