After resting in the room for a while, Luo Jianjia came out.
I bought a total of fifty kilograms of rice before, but now there are only two or three kilograms left, which is not enough to sell tomorrow. So today, I'm going to go back to town to buy some rice.
Since the home is such a big place, Boss Chu and the Zhao family naturally know about it.
Knowing that Luo Jianjia was going, Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "No need, you can rest at home. I'll go with your father."
Luo Jianjia said, "Let's go to my daughter-in-law, there are not many things."
Zhao said: "Now our business is good, and my father and I are thinking about buying 100 jins back. That's not light, you have to push a scooter."
One hundred kilograms... Luo Jianjia felt that he carried fifty kilograms in one hand and brought it back without any effort.
Zhao Shi and Boss Chu haven't been able to eat enough for these days, and Boss Chu is sick again. I wonder if the combined strength of the two of them can be half her strength. Boss Chu and Mrs Zhao were not in good health, and she didn't dare to let them push such a heavy thing back, in case something happened along the way, it would be bad.
However, looking at Zhao's appearance, it seems that a decision has been made. Therefore, Luo Jianjia thought for a while and said, "Daughter-in-law, let's go with you. Just in time to go to the town to buy something, we can also help."
Zhao pondered for a while and said, "Alright. We have saved a lot of eggs from our chickens, and we just sold them together."
At this moment, it is almost uncorrected, and it is less than half an hour away from Shen Shi.
Although Luo Jianjia was accustomed to eating two meals a day, but after a long afternoon of exhaustion, she was already hungry.
Seeing that Mr. Zhao wanted to go now, he persuaded him a few words: "Mother, why don't we go after dinner?"
Zhao Shi waved his hand and said, "No, we won't be in town for too long, we will be back in less than an hour, and we can eat at that time."
"I've been tired for noon, so let's take a good rest before going." Luo Jianjia suggested again.
The Zhao family obviously wants to continue to oppose. If it was normal, she would have directly opposed it. But just after counting the coins earned in the past few days with Boss Chu, I was happy in my heart, but not so persistent.
Moreover, she smelled the white rice every day, and watched the guests eat so deliciously, she had long been greedy.
After hesitating for a moment, Mrs. Zhao said, "White rice is too expensive. The three of us can't eat a pound if we open it up? A pound is three cents. We have to buy rice in a while, which will cost a lot of money. Warm up and eat whatever you want."
Zhao Shi also wanted to eat, but she was used to saving, and when she thought of spending hundreds of pennies in a while, she couldn't bear it.
Looking at Zhao Shi's hesitant appearance, Luo Jianjia thought that she still earns too little money. When she earns more in the future, she must eat white rice every day, no, every day. Thinking about the number of passengers in the past few days, Luo Jianjia felt that that day was not far away.
"Alright, daughter-in-law..."
Before Luo Jinjia could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Boss Chu.
"Go and steam some, maybe our family hasn't eaten white rice for a long time." Old Chu said.
In the past, when my son was working as a nursing home in the palace, their food and clothing expenses were also excellent. It's a pity that his son's whereabouts are unknown now, his body is not good enough, and the money is gradually spent.
Luo Jinjia looked up at Boss Chu, and then looked at Mrs Zhao again before taking action.
Zhao Shi finally changed his mouth: "Steam less, just enough for you and your father. I will eat steamed buns. You can eat everything, as long as you can fill your stomach."
Luo Jianjia was very sad to hear this.
Boss Chu and Mrs Zhao really had nothing to say to her. Whether it was out of guilt or other reasons, she would always remember this warmth and kindness. Looking at the yearning in Zhao's eyes, Luo Jianjia thought, she must think again and make more money.
"Okay, the daughter-in-law should steam less, heat some steamed buns, warm up the leftover vegetable soup at noon, pour it over the rice and eat it, no more rice soup." Luo Jianjia said.
Zhao Shi was really satisfied, and nodded with a smile.
Luo Jianjia was cooking, while Zhao was washing the tableware used at noon. Boss Chu made a bench beside him. There were more and more guests, and it was impossible to sit at two tables. He planned to make more stools. Those who couldn't get to the table could at least have a stool to sit on.
Zhao Shi just finished brushing, and Luo Jianjia finished the meal.
She really didn't cook too much white rice. She had a small bowl per person, and then a thick-faced steamed bun per person, with the leftover vegetable soup in the middle.
While eating, everyone scooped some vegetable soup into their bowls.
Not to mention, the vegetable soup of several dishes is mixed together, and the taste is quite good.
Paired with fragrant rice, it makes people feel that life is just like that.
Luo Jianjia has been smelling white rice for several days, and has not eaten white rice for half a month. Taking the first bite in her mouth, she felt that white rice was the best thing in the world.
The joy on the faces of Boss Chu and Zhao could not be hidden.
Although I was able to eat white rice when the conditions were good before, it was not something I could eat all of a sudden. Now I have not eaten it for half a year. I am very excited to eat it now.
"This white rice is really delicious, and Brother Leng's wife's dishes are also delicious. No wonder the workers on the dock love it." Zhao said.
Boss Chu nodded: "Well, those fastidious merchants also like to eat, and the dishes are cooked well." After speaking, he took two more bites of rice.
A small bowl of white rice is not much, even if you cherish it, it will soon be finished.
After lunch, the three of them pushed the trolley towards the town.
On the way to the town, Mrs Zhao said with a smile: "No wonder everyone said recently that eating our family's food will make you work hard, but I also feel full of energy after eating this. So precious white rice, eat it. Can you be energetic?"
Boss Chu smiled and nodded in agreement.
Hearing Zhao's words, Luo Jianjia thought of the question she had just thought about.
Since passing through, her strength has become very strong, and she can't feel the difference in strength between eating and not eating, and there is no way to compare.
But recently, something about her strength after eating would ring in her ears.
I don't know if it's because of eating the food she made, or as Zhao said, eating well and nutritious, so I have the strength.
The town was not far from the village, and soon the three of them arrived in the town.
The Chu family had too few seasonings, so Luo Jianjia planned to buy some other seasonings with the money he got. Chu boss went to buy rice, Zhao went to sell eggs.
After shopping, the three of them went to the rice shop to meet.
On the way back, the three took turns pushing the cart. Originally, Boss Chu and Mrs Zhao didn't want Luo Jianjia to push him, but after these days, they also saw that Luo Jianjia was very strong, so they didn't push back too much.
On the way, Mr. Zhao talked to Boss Chu about selling eggs.
"Eggs are so cheap now. In the past, they used to be two a penny, but now they are three a penny. I have worked hard to save more than twenty eggs, but in the end, it's less than ten cents."
"It's not a New Year or a festival at the moment, and the price of eggs is low. When the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, the price will go up." Chu Laodao.
"Well, you're right."
Luo Jianjia was surprised when Zhao said that eggs were so cheap. I have to feed chickens on weekdays, so it’s really not worth it to exchange eggs for money.
Might as well do something with the eggs...
Luo Jianjia hadn't figured out what to do, and after a while, the group returned to Chujia Village.
When they came out, it was lunch time, and there were not many people outside. At this moment, everyone had finished eating, and the work in the fields was finished in the morning, and they were all talking outside.
Luo Jianjia and others, who were pushing a truckload of things, naturally became the object of everyone's attention.
"Uncle, what are you buying, why are there so many?" someone asked.
"Is this noodle?" Someone asked, looking at the flour on the trolley with sharp eyes.
Now that it was seen, Boss Chu didn't hide it, and said, "Well, I bought some rice noodles."
Hearing this, everyone immediately became interested.
"Wow, these are all rice? Why do you buy so much rice?"
"Big brother's family is rich, so they are willing to eat white rice."
Aunt Wang said from the side: "I'm going to the pier to sell some food, why don't I just buy rice?"
Another person asked: "Yes, that day I watched you go to the wharf to sell food from a distance. There are quite a lot of people, and the business is good, right?"
Before Boss Chu could answer, someone else asked, "How much money can you make every day?"
Looking at the people around him and listening to these words, Luo Jianjia felt a little helpless. But she also knows that in fact, many people are just curious and ask, and have no bad intentions.
Boss Chu said very cautiously: "Just make a few cents."
"It's true, I think business is going well."
"A lot of people come, but the price is low. You can sell a piece for two cents, so you can't make any money."
Boss Chu and Mrs. Zhao are honest people. Seeing that everyone couldn't ask anything, they didn't ask any further questions.
However, after they left, the villagers continued to chat.
"My parents have a brother who works on the dock. I heard that his family's food is very good, and many people go there every day."
"Really?"
"I believe this, I have seen it with my own eyes."
"But the price is really low, and white rice isn't cheap either."
"Yeah, that's to earn hard money."
…
Talking, talking, talking about something else.
"It's not easy for their family, and Brother Leng doesn't know if he can come back."
"That's not it, the girl of the Luo family is so good-looking, she will have to remarry sooner or later."
"Hey, this old brother and sister-in-law are also suffering."
Most people know that there's not much money in it, and they don't have much to think about. But some people looked at the carload of rice noodles and listened to what everyone said, but they started to have other thoughts.
After returning home, Boss Chu's face was not very good, and he said, "Let's quietly go to the town to buy rice in the future."
"Isn't it, it's eye-catching." Zhao Shi said.
Luo Jianjia agrees with this sentence very much.
Because business was good a few days ago, many people came to eat, so they did more the next day.
This time, Luo Jianjia didn't make the meal, but went to clear the table. She listened carefully to what the diners were saying.
"Don't you think it's strange, the dishes in this house are so fragrant when they are fried, and they are full of energy. I didn't come to eat them yesterday. When I got home, I asked my mother-in-law to make them once. It was not so fragrant. I worked in the afternoon. Not too much."
"Isn't it? I'm the same as you. This meal is just so good. I've been eating it for a few days, and my strength is stronger than before."
"That's right, me too. This dish is fragrant, and the steamed rice is delicious."
"I don't know how his family made it."
"I know this. I heard that day from the aunt who was cooking. It's the family's unique secret recipe."
"Oh, no wonder my mother-in-law can't get this taste out of frying."
Luo Jianjia listened to these words and became fascinated. She didn't pay attention to the strength of her hands. She only heard a "click" and the wooden plate was crushed by her.
Looking at the crumbled plate in her hand, Luo Jianjia looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she quietly put the plate aside and continued to clean up the dishes.
Later, she went to listen to the words of many diners.
If one or two people say that they are energetic, that's all, but so many people mention it, it shows that there is something wrong.
However, Luo Jianjia did not believe that it was her own reason.
Originally, there were only a dozen or so people eating here, but now there are twenty or thirty people. Boss Chu and Mrs. Zhao are very happy.
After returning home, Luo Jianjia thought of the things she was thinking about recently, so she said that she was too tired to cook too much, and left the cooking to Mrs. Zhao.
In fact, she wanted to verify whether the food she made was really that powerful.
Zhao shi didn't think much about it, and was especially considerate of her, and took over the cooking job.
In the next few days, the vegetables and rice sold at the wharf were made by Luo Jianjia, but the meals at home were made by Zhao.
After a few days like this, Luo Jianjia rubbed his shoulder when he saw Boss Chu returning with firewood.
"What's wrong with you? Are you tired? I told you earlier that you are not in good health, so you should bring back some firewood, but you won't listen. What if you get sick again?" Zhao said anxiously.
A few days ago, Boss Chu felt that his body was much lighter. He thought he was cured, so he did more work. These few days, he found that he was a little tired again. He also knew that if he was sick, he would have to spend money and increase the burden on the family, so he said: "Well, I won't do so much tomorrow."
Hearing this conversation, Luo Jianjia asked without a trace, "Dad, have you been tired these days?"
Boss Chu was afraid that his family would be worried, and said, "It's okay, not too tired."
Although Boss Chu didn't say it clearly, Luo Jianjia understood it. Boss Chu had said before that he was lighter and stronger. Today, he said "it's not too tired", which means that he is tired, not as good as before.
Luo Jianjia said: "Well, maybe I've worked a lot these days, but I feel a little tired. Mother, how about you?"
Zhao shi supported his waist, stood up, and said, "I'm fine. I don't have much work to do. I just wash the dishes and wash the dishes, and I can be busy."
Seeing the reactions of Boss Chu and Mrs. Zhao, Luo Jianjia was almost certain that the magical power of the diners came from himself.
If she really has such ability, why can't she sell food in the future, she can make a fortune by selling food and survive in this era.
Thinking of this, Luo Jianjia's mood became very good.
After the nap, Luo Jianjia went to cook. After eating the food she made, Boss Chu and Mrs Zhao seemed to feel energetic again.
After a few days in this way, Luo Jianjia hadn't been able to fully determine the efficacy of her own cooking, but found that there was another food seller on the dock.
It would be fine if it was a meal next to him, but that person was selling the Mijia set meal just like them.
Luo Jianjia had thought that there would be imitators, but he didn't expect that the imitators would come so quickly and so carelessly, almost the same as them.
Moreover, the other party's dishes are larger than theirs.
They have one serving of vegetables and one serving of pickles, while others have two servings of vegetables, the price is still the same, and they give more portions than them.
On that day, fewer people came to eat here than before.
Zhao shi was so anxious, looking at people selling the same food not far away, he could not wait to rush over. Although Boss Chu is not like Zhao, he can also see the anxiety on his face.
And the rice, which could be sold out in half an hour, was sold for a full hour. Not only that, there are some left.
The Zhao family originally wanted to sell at a low price, but was stopped by Luo Jianjia.
When they returned that day, Boss Chu and Mrs Zhao were in a very bad mood.
