Chapter 67 Primal Joy
Zhao Fengnian was repairing the wall and laying out electrical circuits, while Shi Qingqing was prying oysters.
A few days later, Shi Qingqing's business was over, and she received another batch of goods of medium quality or above.
This time she planned to go to a farther place to pry oysters, and there was a possibility that she would not come back for two consecutive days.
Zhao Fengnian offered to go together, but was rejected by Shi Qingqing.
The restaurant issue is indeed a problem. Let's wait until she finds a reliable buyer.
Zhao Fengnian was not discouraged and said that he would wait for Shi Qingqing to come back at home before going out to find a job.
Shi Qingqing sailed away.
When she was far enough away that no one could possibly see her, she clicked the redemption button.
This time I paid another 1,800 yuan and got 4,200 points in return.
But her cash flow is so small that even if she collects it again, it probably won’t be enough.
Shi Qingqing had an idea in her mind. She dug for a day and a night. The next day, she changed into clean clothes and went to another dock. She set up a stall at the local market and sold eggs and tomatoes.
Tomatoes are counted by the number, and so are eggs.
The candies were packaged separately. When she was on the boat, she bought tear-off plastic bags, each containing fifty candies. For only one dollar, she could get colorful candies, which were also paired with a gold coin chocolate and a marshmallow, making them look very high-end.
At first, Shi Qingqing could handle the work alone, but then someone went back and told the neighbors that there was a candy seller over there, selling a lot of candies for only one yuan a bag. Then a lot of people came in droves, and there was even a case of some old ladies tearing open the plastic bags and stuffing marshmallows and gold coin chocolates into the same bag.
Shi Qingqing simply sat in front of the box, covered it with a cloth, took one dollar and gave her some candy.
The old woman didn't succeed, but she was reluctant to leave because she liked the tomatoes.
Although off-season vegetables are no longer a problem with greenhouse technology nowadays, and the temperature here is not terribly low, at least freezing is rare, so there are still vegetables to choose from.
However, tomatoes of this red color and good appearance are rare, and the price is cheaper than that sold by vegetable farmers. Except that each person must buy more than five kilograms, there is nothing wrong with it.
In just a few hours, Shi Qingqing recovered her investment and made a net profit of nine hundred.
She didn't get on the boat even though she was hungry, but bought three fried lantern cakes and a shredded radish cake from the stall nearby.
The old man also fried some extra large slices of sweet potato, which tasted pretty good.
The four pancakes were not big, all the size of a palm. The sweet potato slices were wide, but one big sweet potato was cut into five or six slices, which was not too much. Shi Qingqing felt that her appetite had increased a bit, so she bought another bowl of wontons and drank the soup.
Before he had taken a few bites, someone came to buy round tomatoes, about twenty kilograms of them, and Shi Qingqing enthusiastically accepted the reward.
She casually asked the other party if he wanted more.
"We just happened to be clearing out a batch of goods. We won't be coming tomorrow. There are still more than 50 kilograms on the ship."
The boss asked for another twenty kilograms, and Shi Qingqing made another concession and gave him a handful of candy.
This made the boss feel embarrassed. He felt that what Shi Qingqing said to the older generation in his family about no dishonesty in business was obviously true, and he, the customer, felt a lot.
So he bought all the eggs.
Shi Qingqing's eyes lit up and she gave him a bag of candy as well.
So another ten bags of sugar were sold.
After the boss left, only a few tomatoes and sugar were left on Shi Qingqing's stall. The surrounding vendors took action at this time and bought up the remaining ones at a price that was 20% off her retail price.
Shi Qingqing closed her stall and had already made a net profit of over a thousand yuan. If she could make a thousand yuan every day, she would wake up laughing in her dreams.
Before leaving, she bought all of the old lady's lantern cakes and shredded radish cakes, and after getting on board, she stored them in a small warehouse while they were still warm.
If you take it out and eat it within a day, you don’t have to worry about incurring a storage fee of 0.1 points.
"It feels good to buy whatever you want to eat." Shi Qingqing located a new oyster hunting spot and counted the total amount after prying for a few hours. It was twenty-nine kilograms.
Much faster than the previous mission.
She started to drive the boat back and saw that the fish in the seawater storage room were slightly dead, that is, every fish was in poor health.
She was a little anxious, but had no choice but to give them a quick death before they died, so she made new bait using fish entrails.
There were no freezing chambers on her ship: "Will there be any in the mall?"
"Non-edible ice cubes that can remain unmelted for six hours." The price is ten points per ton.
"Edible ice cubes, will not melt for eight hours." The price is 20 points per ton.
Shi Qingqing's eyes widened slightly. How could edible ice cubes not melt for eight hours? If they were thrown into drinks as weight, wouldn't the merchants make a lot of money?
Shi Qingqing bought some inedible ice and put the killed fish into ice.
The ice came in boxes of foam boxes, and she made three of them and stored the rest.
Even if you don’t use up all the 100 days, you’ll only get 10 points.
She can afford it now!
Shi Qingqing's cash flow increased by more than a thousand yuan, and she felt a little relieved. After returning home, she saw that all that was left to do was to smooth out the wall of her house to make it look more pleasing to the eye, and she felt even happier.
She took out the small seafood she had caught with the net, cleaned them, washed the rice and vegetables, and bought some pork patties.
After returning home, he started working in the kitchen, humming a song.
Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms and cut them into strips. Cook the dried shrimps and scallops and press them into strips with the back of a knife. Cut the pork belly into finger-thick strips and fry them. Add diced radish, shredded cabbage, and corn kernels. This is to make salty rice, one of Zhao Fengnian's favorite Fujian delicacies.
A housewife who is good at making salty rice doesn’t even need so many ingredients and the salty rice she makes is very delicious, but Shi Qingqing doesn’t think her cooking skills are so good that even minimalist cooking can be outstanding.
The most important thing is that both she and Zhao Fengnian had poor childhoods, and Fengnian was even poorer. When he was a child, he even snatched sweet potato peels from others.
People who have been poor for so long and think that the best future for their lives is to not be hungry have an obsession with food.
Adding so many rich ingredients to the rice is like giving a toy set to a child who has never had any toys. The surprise and joy are on the same level.
Pure joy, based on the most basic appetite.
Adding lots of rich ingredients to the salty rice is also a pleasure for the young couple.
It should be considered...primitive happiness?
Zhao Fengnian was so overwhelmed by the fragrance outside the wall that he felt very anxious.
He was afraid that if he ran over to ask his wife what she wanted to eat, he would seem incompetent.
But he didn't have to wait long before he heard someone shouting, "Fengnian, wash your hands and eat."
"Coming!" Zhao Fengnian threw the tools away and strode back into the yard.
On the table there was a pot of salty rice that had been skimmed off with a rice spoon and looked even looser. The ingredients were so rich that they could be used to stir-fry a dish.
The soup was hot and sour soup, the same soup his wife had made the last time he left for work. The aroma and taste were exactly the same, without any change.
Squid fried with peppers, pork patties fried with cauliflower, garlic greens,
The flavors are both strong and light, and the combination is appropriate.
After this meal, Zhao Fengnian felt that he was 180% full.
Shi Qingqing looked at the whole pot of rice and saw that it was gone:
I should control myself a little more next time. After all, he drank two bowls of soup.
He even finished four bowls of salty rice.
This appetite was even more amazing than the first time she heard Zhao Fengnian say that he could eat sixty or seventy dumplings.
