Chapter 219 I don’t want to steal yours…
"Yeah, Liangliang is amazing!"
Aunt Li's eldest daughter-in-law is called Li Laixiang. She was very happy that Xia Liang asked her to come and help.
"Sister-in-law, you are also amazing!"
After everything was put away, everyone said goodbye. Aunt Li carried the pig into the water, muttering, "You can't handle this. I'll help you fix it!"
Xia Liang was grateful in her heart. This thing was really delicious when it was cooked, but the smell before it was processed was absolutely addictive!
"Mom, I bought a lot of meat today, let's eat it here tonight! Ask Ning Zhiyuan to call Dad over later!"
Yang Xiaohong would come over every night. There was no need to call her. She was the village chief and would go home directly after work.
"That's fine!"
After being with Xia Liang for a long time, Aunt Li knew that Xia Liang was not a person who said one thing and thought another. Like her, he was a real person. She definitely had no objection!
"Then I'll go to the kitchen to cook!"
"Xiao Ning, there are some vegetables at home. Go get them and call your dad over too!"
Aunt Li was not polite and directly supported Ning Zhiyuan to go out and work.
Ning Zhiyuan responded and strode out.
Looking at the meat he bought, Xia Liang thought for a moment and suddenly felt like eating fried meat.
She simply cut the meat, marinated it with seasoning, poured oil on it, and fried it in a pan.
"Sister, what delicious food have you made? It smells so good!"
As soon as Yang Xiaohong came in, she smelled a strong fragrance. She ran to the kitchen and saw Xia Liang frying meat. She reached out and grabbed a piece.
"Oh, it's so hot, it's burning me to death!"
Yang Xiaohong's speed was so fast that Xia Liang didn't even have time to react before she stuffed the fried meat into her mouth. How could this freshly fried meat not be hot?
Seeing Yang Xiaohong's face baring teeth due to the heat, Xia Liang rolled her eyes helplessly: "No one is competing with you for it, you act like you haven't eaten fried meat in years!"
"I haven't eaten it for a long time, sis. Isn't it because the fried meat you made is too delicious?"
Seeing her naughty look, Xia Liang was helpless: "Eat slowly, and come and help me light the fire after you finish eating!"
Yang Xiaohong squatted down hurriedly. Although she was not very good at cooking, the food she made was edible but not as good as Xia Liang's. But she was good at making fire, and she had been making fire since she was a child.
After frying the meat, Xia Liang cut other meat, fried it, and added more salt so that it could be eaten for a few more days.
At this time, Ning Zhiyuan also brought the vegetables over, and Xia Liang cut some more vegetables. The bones were not stewed, mainly because stewing bones was too troublesome. It would be better to stew them early tomorrow morning and let them slowly cook until they are fragrant.
Soon, five dishes and a soup were ready. In addition to fried meat, Xia Liang also made pickled cabbage, stir-fried spinach, spicy and sour potato shreds, stir-fried dried beans with meat, and finally, a soup with cabbage and tofu. These dishes should be enough for them to eat.
"Liangliang's cooking is delicious!" The village chief couldn't help but sigh.
"My sister-in-law's cooking is the best I've ever eaten!"
It is said that people who eat people’s food are often not polite, and Wang Bin’s mouth is also very sweet. After Ning Zhiyuan got married, Wang Bin still lived in the village chief’s house.
But usually, he just slept there. Actually, he could live on the reservoir, but he wanted to be closer to Ningzhi.
"Of course not, this is my sister!"
Yang Xiaohong took a bite of the fried meat. She had eaten it before, but it was not as delicious as Xia Liang’s.
"Okay, let's eat quickly. Liangliang has been busy all day and must be tired. Let her rest early!"
Aunt Li still felt sorry for her daughter. Thinking about the fabrics Xia Liang brought back, she estimated that she would be busy for several days.
Although making clothes is profitable, it is really tiring.
After dinner, Xia Liang also cut out three cheongsams. She had to make these clothes as quickly as possible. She couldn’t keep people waiting!
…
Xia Liang thought that it would take a long time for business to come, but she didn't expect to receive a call from Sister Meihua the next afternoon:
"Liangliang, you don't know, several people came to ask today! Two decided to want it, and three or four said they need to think about it!"
Zhang Meihua was also very excited. In the past, the fabrics in their supply and marketing cooperative did not sell quickly. Normally, only during the Chinese New Year would people come to buy fabrics.
But these few days, there are people wanting it almost every day.
Moreover, Xia Liang also made the scraps of cloth into hair accessories, which sold quite well. She could sell 10 to 20 pieces every day, and sometimes even 20 to 30 pieces.
This is just the beginning, and many people don’t know that the supply and marketing cooperatives have new tricks.
"Those headpieces are selling well. You can make more!"
Xia Liang was also very happy. She had never thought about making money at this time, but the business came to her and she couldn't stop it.
"I can make more headwear here. I can also speed up the clothes. Sister Meihua, how often do you think I should go to the town?"
Zhang Meihua thought for a moment and asked, "How many days will it take to make the fabrics you brought last time?"
"It will probably take four or five days!" Xia Liang gave a relatively conservative time. She was not very familiar with it at first, after all, she hadn't done it for many years.
She remembered that in her previous life, around the mid-1990s, it was no longer as convenient to buy clothes than to make them yourself.
At that time, people seldom made clothes at home, and the sewing machine became a decoration.
"Okay, there will be a market in our town the day after tomorrow. There will definitely be a lot of people there that day. How about you come over that day?"
Xia Liang thought about it and it was true. During the market day, many people in the village would go to the town to buy things. Wouldn't there be a lot of people?
"That's fine. I'll try to work on it and make as many as possible!"
After hanging up the phone, Xia Liang began to plan her time, because she had to rush there the day after tomorrow, and she had to make clothes in these two days, so she would definitely have less time to study.
Thinking back to the factory operations in my previous life, if the making of clothes could be separated as well, the speed would be much faster!
Yes, we will cut it today. After all the cutting is done, we will sew it together.
"Sister, what are you laughing at?"
Before they knew it, it was already noon. Yang Xiaohong came to find Xia Liang. Seeing that she was smiling happily, she came over curiously.
"Nothing much. The town market will be held the day after tomorrow. I want to go and take a look!"
"Okay, let's go together!"
Yang Xiaohong, who loves to be lively, immediately said that she wanted to go too!
"You're going too? You're not going to work?"
Yang Xiaohong shook her head: "I'll just tell my dad. It's not like our family is starving. It doesn't matter whether I do it or not. At most, I can just let my dad support me!"
What he said is really true. The village chief's family is well-off and can easily raise a daughter.
"Okay, then we can go together! Sister Meihua just told me that someone wants to make clothes. It happens to be a market day, so there will probably be a lot of people there. Maybe there are other people who want to make clothes too?"
Hearing that Xia Liang had made money again, Yang Xiaohong was envious: "Hey, sister, it's a pity that I can't make clothes, otherwise I would make money with you!"
"Why don't you know how to do it? Wait until I make clothes and you watch me. When you learn it, we can make clothes together and make money!"
Yang Xiaohong frowned in annoyance: "Isn't this bad? Am I stealing your profitable job?"
