Chapter 13 Chapter 13 So Much Money
A little after six.
Jiang Heng received a message from Lin Yirui.
The unlucky kid really had to work overtime again and planned to buy it directly on his mobile phone. Jiang Heng simply took photos of everything in the basket and let him choose by himself.
There are still the same five kinds today, but with the addition of mulberries.
Lin Yirui: I've checked. You can dry mushrooms yourself. Boss, please give me a pound so I can enjoy them at home.
Jiang Heng: OK
Jiang Heng responded and began to pack the mushrooms one by one. Including the porcini mushrooms, there were five kinds of mushrooms and five bags in total. She took a photo every time she weighed them, and kept them within the one-pound range.
I reopened the chat box and was about to send the photo when I found Lin Yirui had sent another message: [Is that mulberry on the far left? Is it delicious?]
[Jiang Heng: Yes, it's delicious, I guarantee you'll pay off. 31 kilograms, would you like some?]
By the way, I'll send you the pictures I just took.
After a few seconds, I received a reply:
Lin Yirui: Yes! I'll give you a pound. And boss, you're amazing! Every portion is so well-cooked!
[Jiang Heng: It’s all about practice]
【Lin Yirui: Hahaha】
At his workstation, Lin Yirui couldn't help but smile. In the previous two exchanges, his boss didn't talk much and was a little distant. He didn't expect that he could still make a few jokes across the Internet.
The colleague who was working overtime and looked listless took a look and immediately perked up and came over: "What's going on? Hehe~"
Lin Yirui suddenly remembered the mushroom vendor's appearance. He had no idea at first, but after hearing his colleague's words, his face turned red unnaturally, and he quickly pushed him away: "Get out, get out, stop talking nonsense."
I pushed the person away, and just then Jiang Heng sent me a picture of the mulberry fruits being weighed, a total of 510 yuan.
It was a bit painful to pay.
Still some regrets.
If I had known earlier, I would have bought less so that we could have more exchanges.
Hehe~
Although, who wouldn’t be tempted by a beautiful woman?
He also thought he wasn't bad looking, and his job was actually pretty good. In this small place, he could earn over 10,000 yuan a month based on his performance. If he could really develop his career, it would be pretty good...
So I paid and praised the stall owner, saying the mushrooms were delicious, the scales were accurate, and the mulberries must be delicious too...
Jiang Heng: Thank you. I will continue to maintain the quality.
Lin Yirui: “…”
Calm down.
*
Jiang Heng had no idea about the psychological dynamics of a guest who was both excited and calm. After receiving the compliment from the guest, she thanked him sincerely and then got busy entertaining the guest.
As time approached six o'clock, most office workers had left work and more and more people gathered in the square.
Mushrooms are quite expensive, and most people who come here are here for fun, so they are relatively less willing to buy vegetables. However, there are still many people who buy some fruits when they pass by. Mulberries are just beginning to ripen, and they may not be sold in supermarkets.
So from time to time people would pass by, take a look, and then choose to buy some.
Mushrooms are mainly sold to old customers, new customers developed by old customers, and new customers who just happen to need to buy some to try.
With one more thing, Jiang Heng discovered that the overall customer flow increased by almost one third.
Of course, it could also be that Song Ming next door had added beef and mushroom sushi and recommended it to some customers. In short, the rate at which the inventory was reduced was much faster than Jiang Heng had expected. The stall was officially closed at a little after seven o'clock.
It's about ten minutes later than yesterday, but the quantity of goods is relatively larger, which is normal.
Jiang Heng said hello to Song Ming, delivered the mushrooms and mulberries bought by Lin Yirui to the milk tea shop, and went home happily.
The milk tea shop was not far from where she set up her stall, it was diagonally opposite, about ten meters away.
At this time, a clerk in the store took a two-hour leave. When it was time to hand over his shift, the boss Chen Ping came to take over. He watched the good-looking stall owner leave. He looked at his back, then at the pile of things in the corner of the store, and couldn't help but think about some random things.
The main thing is... I haven't heard that you like to eat mushrooms?
Moreover, he knew the price of the mushrooms. The stall was not far away. Yesterday, they agreed to leave the items with him. Today, when he came over, he took a look at the stall and was shocked by the price. He didn't even dare to ask.
His milk tea shop has only been open for a short time and is still in the loss-making period, so he dare not spend money so lavishly.
However, his brother spent so much at once, at least several hundred, right?
so……
Just as this wave of customers' orders were finished, Chen Ping washed his hands, walked to the corner, took out his phone, and sent a message:
Chen Ping: Brother, is it the Red Luan Star or the God of Wealth Star that's moving?
[Lin Yirui:?]
Chen Ping: Isn't it? You bought so much, you can't really think it tastes good, right?
[Lin Yirui: Is it possible that it really tastes good?]
Chen Ping: ???
Lin Yirui: Come to my place tonight and show you my cooking skills. Remember to bring a chicken. Chicken stewed with mushrooms is really delicious.
Chen Ping: Are all these chickens stewed together?
Does he have such a big appetite?
[Lin Yirui: Of course not. I dried the rest and will take it back home during the holidays so my mom can make mushroom sauce.]
Chen Ping: ...
Lin Yirui: You'll understand after you eat it tonight. With these mushrooms, my cooking skills are comparable to those of a master chef!
[Chen Ping: Just brag, you've already made me greedy. If it doesn't taste good, just wait, I'll definitely post it on my WeChat Moments to laugh at you!]
Lin Yirui: Hahaha, that's really awesome! Ever since I saw the mushrooms at the boss's place, I've truly believed in the inherent umami flavor of mushrooms. It's more effective than pouring a whole bottle of chicken essence into the dish. The quality is top-notch. Oh, and there are mulberries there. The boss said they're delicious too, and they're the same quality as the mushrooms. You can try them, and just leave some for me.
【Chen Ping: OK, I'll try it.】
It just so happened that he had water to wash them. Although the mushrooms could not be eaten immediately, he could try the mulberries. Thirty-one kilograms of mulberries were not cheap. Even the big supermarket in their mall did not sell them that expensively. Moreover, they were produced by the same manufacturer, and as Lao Lin said, the taste would definitely not be bad.
However, despite thinking so, Chen Ping didn't actually think that the mulberries were so delicious that he would think they were worth thirty yuan.
Now is the time when mulberries have just started to bear fruit, and they are the most sour and bitter. Not to mention that they grew up in the village and climbed trees to pick mulberries since they were young. They ate so much that their faces turned purple and they were tired of it. This was why he subconsciously thought that something was wrong with Lao Lin at the beginning.
Chen Ping went over and found the bag of mulberries, took it to the kitchen, rinsed both sides, and then picked up a mulberry and put it in his mouth.
He gritted his teeth, and mulberry juice burst in his mouth, and he raised his eyebrows.
When the tip of his tongue tasted the juice for the first time, he felt a refreshing sweetness, but soon he could detect a light sour taste, which just neutralized the sweetness of the flesh. It was not so abrupt that made him subconsciously frown. In particular, the mulberry itself had a soft texture and burst in the mouth with a little force. Each bite was like eating a popping pearl with an ultra-thin skin. The small seeds inside also burst while chewing, but it did not have the astringency he remembered. The overall taste was still very good.
After eating a mulberry, the unique mulberry fragrance still lingers on the tip of your nose, and a faint sweetness remains in your mouth.
And there was no need to spit out the skin or the seeds, so the taste was very pleasant. Chen Ping unconsciously threw another one into his mouth, savored it again, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's really good."
It’s much better than I imagined, and also much better than the mulberries I had in mind. Especially, why does it taste a bit appetizing?
The shop assistant who was taking a break asked curiously, "Is it delicious?"
Chen Ping handed it over and said, "Here, try it and you'll know."
The clerk took one and ate it. The flesh was soft and tender, and the juice was very abundant. It filled her mouth instantly. The taste was even better than she expected. She felt like she had been pleasantly surprised. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! It's quite delicious! I used to be tired of eating mulberries. Have they evolved into a new variety now?"
Chen Ping nodded, guessing, and ate two more: "Maybe? After all, they are sold! It's only natural that they are good at it." After saying that, he picked up a few more and said: "It's really delicious. I didn't feel sick even after eating too much. Not bad, not bad. I can buy some tomorrow."
The clerk was tempted by the way he ate, but he was embarrassed to eat any more, so he thought to himself that he could buy some tomorrow.
Until Chen Ping's phone rang, he opened it and saw:
[Lin Yirui:?]
Lin Yirui: Why aren't you reacting? Hey, tell me if it's delicious.
[Chen Ping: It’s delicious]
[Chen Ping: This time you have good vision!]
Lin Yirui: Hahahaha, that’s it.
[Lin Yirui: Oh, by the way, put the rest in the refrigerator for me. Don’t eat it all!]
Chen Ping was about to reply, but suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked again and saw that there were only three left in the basket! He felt guilty for a moment and quickly restrained himself and put it back in the refrigerator: [I know, I know]
[Lin Yirui:? Something's wrong]
They have been brothers for many years, and he can still clearly feel that something is wrong with the tone!
Chen Ping: ...Can you sense something is wrong even through the network cable?
[Chen Ping: Actually, mulberries don't taste very good, but my clerk liked them very much, so I asked her to eat some. Can I buy some for you tomorrow? (heart)]
Lin Yirui: (Smiling)
[Lin Yirui: You bastard, do you think I believe it? ! ! !]
[Chen Ping: If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do (spreading hands)]
【Lin Yirui: Scumbag! 】
At around eight o'clock, the two met at Lin Yirui's house. Looking at the three mulberries left, Lin Yirui was so angry that he laughed. He had sensed something was wrong a long time ago. He had guessed something when he heard that they were going to eat mulberries but there was no news at all. However, he never expected that there would be only three left!
Never mind, we’ve been brothers for many years after all.
I can buy it again tomorrow.
Thinking of this, he threw the remaining three mulberries into his mouth.
As soon as he closed his mouth, without even using any force with his teeth, the mulberries burst with juice from being squeezed. After being in the refrigerator for two hours, the taste was even better. The cool, sour and sweet juice filled his entire mouth and was quickly swallowed. The sweetness seemed to alleviate much of his irritability on the way home from get off work.
It’s really delicious!
The beautiful boss was not lying, the price really was justified!
Lin Yirui finished his meal in a few bites and instinctively licked his lips, wanting to eat more. When he turned around, he was faced with someone with an innocent look on his face: "What's wrong?"
Lin Yirui smiled: "...I don't like you anymore."
I don’t want him to eat the delicious chicken stewed with mushrooms that I made!

The other side
Jiang Heng has returned to the village.
Surprisingly, none of the dogs in the village barked tonight. Perhaps they came home too early? Or maybe they're just used to it?
As usual, I charged the tricycle first. The buzzing sound of the electric car charging broke the excessive silence in the house.
Jiang Heng set up insect repellent formations in her home and the vegetable garden in the backyard. At night, there were no flies, mosquitoes, spiders, or mice in her house, and there were no frogs croaking around. Her life felt better, though it was a little too quiet.
Jiang Heng thought that he would ask his aunt tomorrow if anyone in the village had a dog and bring a couple over to raise. That way he wouldn't have to be so quiet when he came back.
She doesn't like noise, but she also doesn't like excessive silence.
It is best to find peace and quiet in the midst of noise.
After locking the courtyard gate and entering the house, Jiang Heng went straight to the bathroom to wash up. Although he had the dust removal tips, he still had to take a shower every day to feel like he had taken a shower. Lying on the bed with moisture on his body, he covered himself with a thin quilt and felt comfortable all over.
He relaxed and took out his cell phone to start calculating today's income.
All 32 kilograms of mulberries were sold for a total of 960 yuan. I made 900 yuan from five kilograms of porcini mushrooms. There were also a lot of black mushrooms today, so I made 1,265 yuan. I also made 1,042 yuan from fir mushrooms, 237 yuan from tea tree mushrooms, 644 yuan from woodland mushrooms, and 350 yuan from the defective products after the price reduction for Song Ming.
Today's total income is 5398 yuan!
After figuring it out, Jiang Heng took a deep breath.
So much money!
If she had known it would be a lot more, but seeing the number, she was really satisfied. Including her income from yesterday, it was now more than 8,000.
You can buy a better sofa!
Jiang Heng opened the shopping app and started choosing a sofa!
