Lin Xi, a woman from the 21st century, transmigrated into the body of Er Ya, a farmer's daughter. Upon waking, she found herself facing a destitute home and an entire village full of difficult ...
"Thank you everyone for supporting our business. Please be patient and we will start selling braised meat the day after tomorrow at the latest."
The woman said, "Alright, little girl, we'll wait. I've put in a good word for you today, so you'll have to give me a discount later."
Er Ya smiled and said, "Okay, I'll definitely give you a discount. Also, since you all know that this braised meat is made with pig offal, I'll tell you how to clean the pig offal so you can make it at home."
Someone asked incredulously, "Really? You can't be kidding us, can you?"
"It must be true. I'm not a child who likes to lie. My mom says that if a child lies, his nose will grow longer."
Then Er Ya explained the method for cleaning pig offal, and carefully explained any parts that were unclear.
The person who had just been yelled at by Sun Xiaocao said to her, "This boss is really generous. You should have learned from him, secretly learning his skills, and you even have the nerve to cause trouble for him. Have you no shame?"
"Yeah, if it were me, I wouldn't even have the face to stay here. You're dumbfounded now, aren't you? She doesn't even care that you're learning her skills, she's just made it public."
These were the same people who had just been mocked by Sun Xiaocao. They kept talking back and forth, making the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law so ashamed that they slunk away with their things.
On the way, Sun Xiaocao complained to Lin Dafu: "Mom, you shouldn't have said that. It's not something to be proud of. Now look what happened. He got angry and told us the whole solution. Who are we going to sell to now?"
Lin Dafu felt a little regretful at this moment: "Didn't I just blurt it out because I was angry?"
Looking at the braised meat that hadn't sold much, I was very worried. I had bought so much this time, hoping to make a big profit, but now it's all stuck in my hands. There's so much, even my family can't finish it all.
………………………………………………
After saying goodbye to the onlookers, the family arranged a time to come back and sell braised meat, and then rode their bicycles to buy some.
On the way, Jiang's mother was also complaining to Er Ya: "You were too impulsive today. You told her the method, and now she can't do it. What about us? We can't do this business either."
Lin Jianguo chimed in, "Yeah, it's so hard to finally have a skill, and now we're just going to be stuck at home all the time again, aren't we?"
Jiang's mother glanced at Er Ya's face again, and fearing that she might have said something too harsh and upset her, she explained:
"I guess I'll just stay idle. My pregnancy is progressing, and Er Ya's birthday is coming up soon. After that, she'll have to go back to school, so I won't be able to take care of the business then. I just don't know how to talk to Li Taohua yet!"
This is a frustrating thing. People are just happily thinking about getting a stable job, and then suddenly they say they can't do it anymore. Doesn't that make them happy for nothing?
Er Ya didn't think this was a bad thing at all. She said cheerfully, "Father and Mother, you've all misunderstood. Look, for a farming family like ours, would you be willing to spend money to buy pig offal, and then have to use flour, alkali and other things to clean it, and maybe even use a lot of oil?"
Jiang's mother thought for a moment, then shook her head. Putting aside everything else, the seasonings for cooking the meat alone cost a lot of money, not to mention the flour used to wash the pig offal every time. It pained her to even think about it.
"That's right. People like us can't afford to buy it. The rich people in town can afford it, but they don't have the time. Most of the rich have jobs. Who would want to spend half a day preparing food? They'd rather spend some money to buy something that's already prepared."
Lin Jianguo and Jiang's mother nodded repeatedly, agreeing that it was indeed true. In that case, they wouldn't suffer much loss and could even gain a good reputation.
"My daughter is smart; it's her parents who are foolish."
After being praised so many times, Er Ya became thick-skinned and accepted all the compliments without question, giggling foolishly.
It's possible that her parents were worried, but they were already quite busy, and now that they had some money, Er Ya didn't want to make her family work so hard.
It's fine if not many people buy it; it'll be just enough to keep us busy. We'll think about other businesses after Mom gives birth to the little brother.
As they were talking, they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative. Lin Jianguo took the initiative to buy two cans of food, three barrels of malted milk powder, two jin of brown sugar, and about ten jin of wild boar meat. This gift was quite substantial.
Er Ya thought about it and realized that her uncle's family had many children, so she asked Lin Jianguo to buy two jin of fruit candy so that she could give the children candy to eat.
After buying everything, Er Ya jumped onto the bicycle. Once Jiang's mother was seated, she said, "Let's go!"
Jiang's mother was in good spirits and was excited at the thought of seeing her parents soon.
Moreover, her family had prepared generous gifts for her visit to her parents' home, so she wasn't afraid of being accused by her sister-in-law of going back to freeload.
My family used to be poor. Every time I went back to my parents' home, my sister-in-law would look through the things I brought back and start making sarcastic remarks.
Especially when she saw what Jiang's mother took with her before leaving, the sarcastic remarks made Jiang's mother wish she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
Now that's good. When she sees how much stuff I've been carrying, she'll probably be nicer to me. If I'm doing well, my parents won't have to worry so much.
However, she still didn't forget to remind Erya: "When we get to Grandma's house, be sweet-talking and greet everyone. Your older cousins should all be at school by now."
Give the remaining younger cousins plenty of candy, especially your cousin Jiang Damin from your uncle's side. He dotes on you the most. When you were little, he would play with you, and you even peed all over him, hahaha.”
Er Ya blushed with embarrassment: "Mother, why are you bringing this up? Weren't we still young then? Okay, I'll behave well and I definitely won't embarrass you, Father and Mother."
They left early in the morning, and although they were delayed at the market for a while, it was now around eight o'clock.
Jiang's mother's family home is about ten miles away from the market, just follow the main road.
Riding a bicycle is much more convenient. Before, they would leave in the morning and not arrive until noon. After lunch, they would rush home. They were always in a hurry and didn't have time to have private conversations. They had to carry lots of things with them. No wonder their sister-in-law didn't like them.
The bells jingled and jingled, and soon they arrived at Jiang's mother's village. Jiang's mother stood up straight and greeted them from afar, "Auntie, playing here."
