Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Selling Lettuce
At the same time, on the construction site.
Jiang Daqiu had just started eating.
Meals on the construction site are often irregular, but what they eat is mostly fixed. It is mostly radish and cabbage, with a meat dish. Occasionally there will be stir-fried dried tofu which is more delicious. It happened that there was no such thing today. The workers got their meals and went back to the iron house in groups of three or four.
But I won’t eat it right away.
After being exposed to the scorching sun during the day, the iron house was like a steamer.
Basically, they eat while sitting on the bricks at the door.
Jiang Daqiu is no exception.
He just went in once, brought back a bottle of canned fruit sauce, sat down among his familiar coworkers, unscrewed the lid, and the coworkers who were eating heartily all looked over at him unconsciously.
"It smells so good, what is that?" someone asked.
Jiang Daqiu chuckled, "My niece picked some delicious fresh mushrooms from the mountains. I asked my wife to make some meat sauce with them. Come and try some!"
He was not stingy and handed the can over.
Several familiar coworkers immediately burst into praise: "Isn't that your niece the one who got into a prestigious university? She's amazing! She can even pick mushrooms! My son at home wouldn't even bother holding a soy sauce bottle."
"Your children are really promising!"
"Hey, I've eaten with these chopsticks, please don't break them. Daqiu, can you pick some food for us?"
Jiang Daqiu thought so too. He hadn't eaten yet when someone picked up a large piece of mushroom and put it on their rice. He agreed, "Yeah, this kid is amazing. She's better than everyone else at everything. She suddenly quit her job a while ago and came back. My wife and I were worried something had happened to her, but she's back farming and picking mushrooms. So many people buy them, they always sell out!"
The workers were envious when they heard this, especially when the mushroom meat sauce fell into their bowls. They took a bite and found the aroma completely different from any sauce they had tasted before.
The first thing you notice is not its salty taste.
Instead, it is a kind of fragrance.
There is the aroma of sauce, meat, spicy food, and a kind of fragrance that they can't describe but is particularly pleasant.
It looks like mushrooms, but the mushrooms in my memory don’t smell this good.
When eating at home, the ingredients are all real. When eating, pick up a little with the tip of the chopsticks and put it into your mouth with rice. It is salty, fragrant and delicious. It tastes good!
"Daqiu, your mushroom sauce is delicious!" The co-workers who tasted it gave feedback immediately.
The other workers nodded in agreement, "Yes! They're delicious! These mushrooms are quite tasty!"
"The meat is delicious, and the sauce is great! It goes really well with rice. I don't even need any vegetables when I have this."
"Yeah, it's a pity that it's a sauce. You can't just eat the sauce, it's not nutritious." Jiang Daqiu nodded and took a big bite, swallowing it in a few gulps mixed with the mushroom and meat sauce. He felt that the food at the construction site was a little hard to swallow, but he still ate it with big mouthfuls.
Listening to his coworker's words, he actually had a different opinion in his mind. The one he ate at home was more delicious. In order to store it for a longer time, he added more salt to the one he brought here. After eating the previous version, he felt a little choking when eating this one.
Of course, the taste is already very good, and it goes especially well with rice.
I can eat something even better when I go back during the holidays.
For a moment, he felt that his tired body was not so tired anymore.
At this time, not far away, a few lazy young men were sitting around a folding table. On the table were the braised dishes and wine they had bought during their spare time. They were watching the people around them eating at the construction site, while they were eating the braised dishes with particular relish.
Suddenly a scent wafted over.
Braised food itself is very fragrant, but this fragrance is completely different from braised food and is particularly attractive.
One of the blond young men subconsciously sniffed, then leaned over to smell the braised food on the table and couldn't help but curse: "What's that smell? It's even more fragrant than braised food?!"
"I smell it too. Hey, who is eating something delicious?" someone next to him asked, looking around but saw nothing.
Fang Jie frowned and looked at the yellow-haired guy: "What is it? Go and look for it?"
Huangmao stood up without saying a word, sniffing and following the fragrance. After walking a few steps, he found that the fragrance was stronger, so he thought it was right. He quickened his pace and walked over expectantly. He saw several workers gathered around to eat. Each of them had a lot of dark brown sauce in their bowls, and they were eating with relish.
This fragrance comes from the sauce.
Seeing him coming, several people greeted him with a smile: "What's up? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Huang Mao smiled and handed over a few cigarettes: "Nothing, I just smelled really good. Come over and see. What are you eating? It smells so good."
The worker immediately said, "It's the sauce that Lao Jiang brought. It's really delicious!"
Huangmao looked at Jiang Daqiu.
Jiang Daqiu felt strange because this guy was playing with Fang Jie, the nephew of their foreman. He usually did some easy work and was different from the workers like them who were just doing hard labor. They usually didn't have much interaction.
Of course we all know each other.
After all, their foreman doesn't manage many people, and he usually takes on small jobs that can usually be completed in half a month or a month.
He didn't want to offend anyone when he was approached, so he took the initiative to say, "Hey, this is made by my wife. It tastes pretty good. Do you want to try it?"
As he spoke, he handed over the covered jar in front of him.
Huang Mao smiled and took it: "Okay, then let's try it."
Then he took the jar and left.
"Huh?" someone asked in confusion.
Just take it away.
"Forget it." Another worker nudged Jiang Daqiu, trying to comfort him.
After all, he is the boss's nephew, so it's okay as long as we don't offend him.
Jiang Daqiu smiled: "It's okay."
He brought a lot.
Just thinking about it, I still felt uncomfortable, especially when I turned around and saw those people digging in the can with their used chopsticks. Each of them dug two or three times, and the fruit can, which was not very big to begin with, was reduced to the bottom in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Daqiu frowned.
——
Early in the morning.
It rained yesterday, and today is a sunny day with a clear blue sky and few clouds.
Jiang Heng walked in the mountain forest filled with thick moisture. The rain seemed to make the air in the entire environment circulate. If he felt carefully, he could sense a hint of spiritual energy even from the periphery that was a little richer than before.
But this is too little and cannot cause any qualitative change.
There were more mushrooms in the forest after the rain. When Jiang Heng arrived at the hilltop he often went to, he didn't have to look for them at all. He could see their targets wherever he looked.
Every two steps you take you have to squat down and pick some mushrooms.
One by one, they were all put into the sack.
The joy of the harvest kept a smile on Jiang Heng's face.
Until I heard a faint giggling sound in my ears.
She looked over warily at the first moment.
Then I saw the familiar yellow-throated marten running over.
The agile and flexible figure jumped a few times and approached her.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak~" the yellow-throated marten called out to her twice.
Jiang Heng was a little confused, and then she saw it barking and turning away. After taking two steps, it turned back and barked at her twice again.
What’s the difference between this and cats and dogs leading the way for humans?!
Jiang Heng no longer expected to truly maintain the balance between humans and nature. He thought something might be amiss. After all, he was a junior high school student, so he had to help. So he picked up the sack and stood up to follow. Yellow-throated martens are fast, able to leap and dart between trees.
Jiang Heng was no less impressive. He seemed to be moving at a leisurely pace, but he took a step and appeared dozens of meters away. This was even while he was taking the yellow-throated marten into consideration and trying to keep a safe distance.
The man and the marten walked like this for two minutes, and then the yellow-throated marten stopped.
When Jiang Heng came over, it looked up at the tree in front of it, and used all four claws to climb up. Jiang Heng looked up along with its movements. At first glance, she didn't see anything, but when she saw the yellow-throated marten continue to climb, she took a closer look and saw something that was revealed through the gaps hidden by the dense leaves.
honeycomb!
A huge beehive with lots of honey!
Because it was quite hidden, Jiang Heng didn't notice it when he was looking for it yesterday.
The yellow-throated marten climbed up and tried to steal some honey, but as soon as it got close, bees ran out of the hive. Maybe the hive was a bit big and there were many bees, so even if most of them came and went to collect honey, there would still be quite a few bees left in the hive.
Even though it had thick fur, it couldn't curl up its entire body on the thin branches above it, so it could only withdraw its hands in time to avoid them.
After failing to attack, the yellow-throated marten quickly came down again, looking at the beehive above its head and at Jiang Heng, its bright eyes full of anticipation.
Nothing was said, yet everything was said.
Jiang Heng's mouth twitched. Luckily, she'd packed a plastic bag before leaving the house today. She'd been thinking, what if there was a wasp nest that slipped through the net? And it turned out there was, and it was a yellow-throated marten that led the way.
She did not delay and sent out a burst of spiritual power, which lifted up the leaves blocking the beehive, revealing the full view of the beehive. It was indeed very large and could cut a lot of honey. Then two water blades came over, cutting up and down.
A piece of honeycomb, larger than her face, broke free from the tree trunk and fell.
Jiang Heng took out a plastic bag and caught it steadily.
At the same time, the bees in the hive who sensed something was wrong also flew out quickly.
Jiang Heng immediately grabbed the yellow-throated marten by the scruff of its neck and said, "Go!"
A man and a mink quickly fled the crime scene.
The bees flew down following the smell, but found nothing. They could only buzz around to explore. However, the "thief" was too fast and the remaining smell in the air was soon gone. They had no choice but to return to the hive.
Away from that side, Jiang Heng stopped. The yellow-throated marten was calmly caught and was not afraid of being put down. It jumped out, sniffed around for a while, and as if it had confirmed something, it barked at Jiang Heng again.
No way? And?!
Jiang Heng caught up with the yellow-throated marten that had already run dozens of meters and came to a stone wall covered with honeysuckle. The mountain road here was a bit steep, but there was a piece of rock protruding. The rock was very large and he could step on it steadily without falling.
This time the honeycomb was in the angle below the stone.
The stone wall is covered with honeysuckle, and its vines climb all over the stone. The beehive is blocked inside, making it a good hidden place!
Jiang Heng looked at the yellow-throated marten with admiration.
This is the power of foodies, they can find places like this!
"squeak?!"
The yellow-throated marten tilted its head and nudged her with its claws.
It seemed to be signaling her to steal quickly.
Jiang Heng stroked the mink's fur, and it felt really good. "Don't be anxious."
Most of the nectar collected by this type of bee is probably honeysuckle nectar, so try to keep it separate so that the flavors don’t mix.
Moreover, honeysuckle itself has certain medicinal value, and in the area where spiritual rain often falls, it has its own spiritual energy, which greatly increases the value of this honey.
Fortunately, the plastic bag she brought was also very large. Jiang Heng moved the previous piece to the corner, leaving half of the space empty. After cleaning it with the dust removal technique, she started to work. This time, she was reluctant to let it fall directly, but instead rolled up a stream of water to carry a large piece of honey that had been cut off and dropped it into the bag.
After ensuring that the two pieces of honey do not touch each other, take the yellow-throated marten away.
When the yellow-throated marten wanted to go find the beehive, Jiang Heng held it down.
The yellow-throated marten was not used to having its back held down, and subconsciously struggled a little, but probably realized who was touching it, so it stopped and looked at her puzzledly with its cute furry face.
Jiang Heng took out a palm-sized piece of honey and handed it to the cat: "That's enough, it can't hold any more."
The yellow-throated marten didn't understand, but it probably understood that the reward had been given. However, it couldn't search flexibly with the honey in its mouth. It could only look in a certain direction with regret and jump away.
Jiang Heng carefully placed the two pieces of honeycomb at the bottom of the sack before continuing to look for mushrooms.
——
Today is another day full of harvest.
Jiang Heng, who was carrying four large bags of mushrooms home, had already started humming a song unconsciously.
I thought I would have to wait a while before I could get honey again, but I didn't expect the yellow-throated marten to make a move and there was so much more.
The first thing I do when I get home -
Well, first take a careful look at the yard and the location of the gate.
Everything is clean.
Yesterday, the tabby cat ate her meal and ran around for the whole afternoon without being seen. Jiang Heng thought it had left. Tabby cats are unruly and love freedom, so she can understand that.
As a result, when we were having dinner at night, the tabby cat came back proudly with a fat mouse in its mouth!
The kind with a long tail that hangs down to the ground.
Thinking about it now, I still feel disgusted.
After pouring out the contents of the sack one by one, Jiang Heng perfunctorily touched the two dogs. The tabby cat was not there. It came back to eat last night. The mouse might have used it as a meal ticket and stayed here at night. But early in the morning, when Jiang Heng got up and went downstairs, the cat seemed to confirm that she was up, stretched, and ran away.
I always feel like something is wrong.
Shouldn't the dog be keeping watch while the cat plays?!
I glanced at my two little puppies who only knew how to eat, sleep and play...I decided to give up.
Jiang Heng immediately took out the honeycomb and went back to the kitchen to start tinkering with it.
Fortunately, she bought enough glass jars. The first piece of honeycomb can be placed directly into the previous jar, and the second piece can be placed in a smaller jar separately, and then labeled [Honeysuckle Honey]. Of course, she has to make herself a cup of honey water first.
With just that one piece, Jiang Heng got one pound and one ounce of honey.
The first piece weighs one pound and three ounces.
At least in the short term, Jiang Heng will not be short of honey to drink.
The taste of honey water made from honeysuckle honey is not much different from other honeys. The focus is on the aroma. You can smell the very fresh honeysuckle aroma when you get close. Combined with the taste of the honey itself, it forms a special taste that is elegant and sweet, giving people a comfortable and light feeling that other honey does not have.
The other piece is fragrant, but it is more like a light fragrance after the fusion of multiple flavors, not so distinct.
Especially when smelling it carefully, Jiang Heng always felt that there was a faint medicinal fragrance.
I don’t know if it’s because I drank too much honeysuckle dew when I was a child.
Jiang Heng filtered out the honey and drank the honey water at a leisurely pace, finishing the task. She then obtained two transparent glass bottles of honey, one with more and one with less, but both were equally clear and thick. Just by looking at them, one could imagine how sweet they must be.
After putting the bottle away, Jiang Heng went out to sort the mushrooms.
Today he was very efficient. It was only half past ten and he had already spent half an hour sorting out four sacks of mushrooms. He also turned over a pile of mushrooms drying in the yard. As usual, Jiang Heng posted several items to be sold today in the group.
Before the announcement, the owner of Xiaogao BBQ was also involved.
Then write down the price and quantity of each item.
This way, when making reservations, they can be sold in order to avoid being sold out later.
After sending it, Jiang Heng's private chat on his phone started to ring.
Confirm with private messages one by one in the order in which the messages were sent.
There was one less order from a fast food restaurant owner, but there was one more order from a barbecue restaurant owner, and there was also a private order worth just over 500 yuan, and the delivery address was in a residential building.
Gao Ming is also very generous and wants to buy it all!
Unfortunately, Jiang Heng rejected him.
The main reason was that she went to fish out the crayfish again last night. Now, apart from keeping some for herself, the two types of crayfish available for sale weigh a total of 69 kilograms. She has to keep at least 30 kilograms for herself to sell at the stall, as there are so many customers waiting.
Therefore, only 39 kilograms can be sold.
Of the 39 kilograms, 30 kilograms were black and red shrimp shells, and 9 kilograms were smaller varieties. It looked like a lot, but 20 kilograms were reserved by several companies in front of Gao Ming. In the end, only 19 kilograms were available for Gao Ming to reserve.
Gao Ming then took all of them, adding: "How much eels can you sell me? I'll take them all."
There were only thirteen eels, and she had never sold them before. The price was not cheap, so she planned to keep only five and sell the remaining eight: [Eels are priced uniformly at 80, without breaking down the size. Is that acceptable?]
Gao Ming: Sure!
Jiang Heng immediately took them out separately and weighed them. They were all about one catty. The total weight of the eight eels was eight catties and two ounces, which was 656 yuan. Add the shrimps worth 800 yuan, and after a 10% discount, the total price was 1,310.4 yuan.
[Jiang Heng: The total is 1,310 yuan, you need to pay first]
Gao Ming transfers 1,310 yuan to you.
Jiang Heng clicked to accept and continued with the next order.
After going through all the orders, we found that the first person who made the reservation had added an order for eel.
Unfortunately, there were no eels left, so I had to refuse with regret.
Finally, Jiang Heng looked at the records in the reservation book in front of him and found that the quantity of goods this time was also very large?!
The fish and shrimps that were ordered alone were quite large in quantity, and with the addition of mulberries and mushrooms, the money Jiang Heng received had already exceeded what he had received the day before yesterday.
Thinking of the basket that almost couldn’t be loaded the day before yesterday.
Jiang Heng found Jiang Peng's dialog box.
[Jiang Heng: Sister, do you want a part-time job?]
【Jiang Peng: Hmm?】
[Jiang Heng: I have a batch of orders to deliver. There are eleven stores in total, most of which are near the square. It's a bit too much for my tricycle to fit, and it's also a bit time-consuming. I plan to outsource the delivery in the future. The delivery fee is ten yuan per store, and it will be a long-term job if nothing goes wrong.]
[Jiang Peng: Oh my god, the delivery fee is so high?!]
The county town is not far away and the delivery points are concentrated. Apart from spending some time on the road, it can be done in two hours at most, which means the hourly wage is 55 yuan?
The key is that there is no time limit for deliverymen.
[Jiang Heng: Because I don't have a car, my tricycle doesn't have enough battery for two round trips. You need to get one yourself.]
Jiang Peng: Hey, that's easy. My mother-in-law has a friend who sells electric bikes. They have used ones available for purchase, and they're pretty reliable. When will they be delivered?
[Jiang Heng: The sooner the better, but you can borrow it and try it out first.]
Jiang Peng: That makes sense! I'll go ask and tell you later.
Jiang Heng replied with an "okay", which made him feel more expectant.
If this matter can be outsourced, it will save time. She wants to make money, but she doesn't want to be so burdened that she has no time of her own.
Now, she can finally say with confidence - as long as there is enough money, it's fine.
After all, it was easy for her to make money.
Wow, what a rude sentence.
——
At noon, Jiang Heng ate crayfish again.
This time it’s garlic.
I'll have some salted egg yolk crayfish in the evening. I heard they're delicious too. It just so happens that I can buy some salted egg yolk at the supermarket on my way back to the stall. But I'll have dinner later.
While eating, I received a call from Jiang Peng.
"I've borrowed a tricycle!" Jiang Peng's voice sounded a little excited. "I'll come over to pick up the goods later. If I can really adapt to it, I'll buy a car later. I've always wanted to buy one, but I felt it wouldn't be useful here. It's tiring to drive long distances, and an electric car is enough for short distances. Now's a good opportunity to buy one!"
Jiang Heng was also full of anticipation: "Sure, then you can come over later. If you can really take over, I'll be relieved too."
"By the way, I also made garlic crayfish. Can I save half for you?"
"Just leave some for me. I just had dinner!" Jiang Peng happily agreed.
Mainly because the timing was really right for her.
The child only needs to be picked up in the morning and evening, and the time in between is hers.
It felt like a waste to leave it empty before, but I couldn't find a suitable job in this small town. I was neither too high nor too low. Now that Xiaoxiao is in elementary school, she is thinking about getting a cleaning job, after all the salary is high.
Now that Jiang Heng had done this, it was like she had found an oasis in the desert.
Perfect!
Before one o'clock, Jiang Peng arrived on a tricycle.
Her tricycle was of the same style as Jiang Heng's, just a little older. Jiang Heng asked her to go eat crayfish first, and she carried those things into the car herself. They were all packed in advance. Some spiritual water was put in the fish and shrimps in advance, so they could stay alive for a long time.
To prevent squeezing, Jiang Heng is placed in a frame and then stacked up layer by layer.
It just formed a small hill.
Jiang Peng ate the crayfish with gusto, watching Jiang Heng busying herself, and said narrowly: "Oh, this is how it feels like to lie down while the boss works? It's really quite nice~"
Jiang Heng: “…”
She gave someone a little finger.
Jiang Peng immediately pretended to be blind and ate some crayfish: "Hey, I told you that if you really want to do this, you have to buy a car, right? Look, the tricycle is almost full at the beginning."
My cousin is so amazing, maybe she will have more and more goods in the future, and even a tricycle won’t be enough to look at them all!
Jiang Heng: "That makes sense."
Does she need a car then?
If you need to transport a lot of goods frequently, vans and pickup trucks are the first choice. Pickup trucks are relatively more versatile. Jiang Heng came to a conclusion in a flash. Jiang Peng was still slurping crayfish, his eyes shining: "Why do I feel like you're a better cook? Your crayfish are even better than my mom's!"
Of course, it’s because the garlic and ginger in her garlic crayfish are all grown by herself. With so many ingredients put together, it definitely tastes better than just crayfish.
Jiang Heng said calmly, "You're in a good mood now, so everything tastes good to you."
Jiang Peng nodded and agreed.
With a job, people feel there is hope.
I don’t have to wander around like a street urchin while my daughter is in school.
There weren't many crayfish left, and Jiang Peng was an old hand at it, so he ate very quickly. After a while, he wiped his mouth, washed his hands, and set off in a rage.
Jiang Heng also told the person who made the reservation in advance that she would not be the one delivering the goods, but the quality of the goods would still be the same.
Everyone had no objections and even sent messages to praise it.
[Boss Ge: Boss Jiang, your business has grown! Congratulations! (Like)]
【Jiang Heng: (*▽*)】
Everything went smoothly. In less than an hour, Jiang Heng received a message from Jiang Peng that all eleven houses had been delivered, and she would come over again to return the frames.
Jiang Heng also directly transferred today's earnings, with the note: delivery fee.
So when Jiang Peng came back, he brought her a cup of milk tea.
There was a big bag of snacks in the basket, and he wanted to share some with Jiang Heng, but she refused.
I wonder if the one hundred and ten yuan lasted more than half an hour in her hands.
——
It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon.
Jiang Heng set out for the vegetable garden.
Two acres of vegetable land is not a lot. When she originally planned it, her goal was to go for the high-priced, all-natural vegetable route. In addition, she only had so much land to plant, so the lettuce she would harvest next would only be half an acre.
This half acre is planted with different varieties of peppers to prevent cross-pollination and hybridization of different varieties during the pepper pollination period.
The peppers are now showing some signs of bearing fruit. If there is another light rain, they can be harvested in about ten days.
However, the total amount of peppers is not large, and Jiang Heng only plans to eat them himself and has no plans to sell them.
In addition, she was growing loose-leaf lettuce, the kind commonly eaten in barbecue restaurants. She was also able to ensure adequate nutrition by planting it slightly densely, with almost 5,000 heads in half an acre of land. At this time, the lettuce had just matured, and the leaves were stretched out. From a distance, it looked like a green carpet.
But when you get closer, you can see that the green is different in shades, especially the leaves themselves, which are so fragile that they seem as if they could be broken with just a little force.
Of course there are still some gaps on the edges, all of which are what she ate in the past few days!
Jiang Heng placed the frame on the ridge of the field, held the knife in his right hand and gently scratched the bottom, and a lettuce was separated from the root. He picked it up with his left hand and put it into the frame, then continued with the next one. The whole process was smooth, and each lettuce leaf fell into the frame without being damaged.
The lettuces themselves are not small, and the frames Jiang Heng prepared can only hold less than twenty heads. In addition, there are many other products on the first day of sales, so this time she only filled four frames and stopped.
It was exactly five o'clock. Jiang Heng put the four boxes of lettuce on top and drove off on the tricycle!
*
This time Jiang Heng arrived, but Song Ming from next door had not arrived yet.
I announced the stall opening time in the group chat in advance. As soon as I parked my car, a customer came over early. When he saw the four boxes of lettuce at the top, he was surprised: "Boss, you also sell vegetables?"
As Jiang Heng moved the frames, he explained, "Yes, this is my main job. I pick mushrooms when I have nothing better to do."
guest:?
Is this reasonable?!
You know, the buyers know best how much money those mushrooms can make!
The number of mushrooms has decreased a lot today, with only two boxes, and different types separated by cardboard. Then there are crayfish, fish, five eels mixed with fish, and half a box of mulberries.
After such a long period of picking, there are not many mulberries left. After this time, she will not sell the remaining ones.
Finally, there is the price list.
The customer had already decided what to buy, but when he saw the words "Lettuce: 5 yuan/head," he automatically added one item to his shopping list and asked, "Boss, your lettuce is a bit expensive. Is there anything special about it?"
Jiang Heng smiled and said, "Of course there is. You'll know once you try it."
"Ah?!" Lin Jun was stunned and a little confused: "No, boss, can I still try the dishes?" Jiang Heng asked him to wait a moment, and Lin Jun nodded subconsciously.
I saw her running quickly to a convenience store not far away to buy a bottle of mineral water. When she came back, she put on disposable gloves, broke the lettuce leaves one by one, and put them in a hollow basket.
The lettuce leaves are crisp and tender, and you can clearly hear the crisp "crunch" sound when you break them apart.
Wait until you can break off the heart of the vegetable, then rinse it with mineral water.
Lin Jun was stunned the whole time: "Boss, you are so proactive."
Jiang Heng calmly accepted the compliment and handed the basket over: "Here, try it, it tastes very good."
Lin Jun subconsciously picked up a piece and found that he had accidentally picked up a large leaf. He frowned. He liked to eat smaller ones with less green color. The taste here was crisper and more tender, but now that he had picked it up, it was not easy to put it back.
I was a little surprised just by eating it.
He always felt that the older, dark green leaves on the outside actually tasted a bit bitter, which was why he didn't like them. It felt like eating raw cabbage leaves, and they were completely different from the tenderer lettuce leaves inside.
But at this moment, when he stuffed the leaf into his mouth, the sweet juice dripped onto his lips and tongue with the sound of "crunch" as the leaf was chewed in his mouth.
It’s surprisingly tender!
It was sweet, and the part near the roots was crispy and delicious, with a feeling of... melting in the mouth. He chewed the overly crisp and tender leaves only three or two times, and swallowed them unconsciously with a slight movement of his throat. There was no remaining taste of vegetables in his mouth. He even felt that his mouth, which was tired and slightly bitter after a day of work, became refreshed.
It’s no exaggeration to say that Lin Jun’s eyes lit up at that moment: “Boss, this lettuce tastes so good!”
He was already thinking about eating barbecue with this lettuce, what a perfect match it would be!
The greasy barbecue was neutralized by the crispy and sweet taste of the lettuce. He could still fight for another two hours!
"As long as you like it, I'm glad. Everything in my house is very good. It's worth buying it." Jiang Heng narrowed her eyes. She didn't feel flattered at all by his compliment. She accepted it confidently and asked, "Want to buy something?"
"Buy it!" Lin Jun nodded without saying a word, took one, thought about the taste, and took another. He felt that he could eat one or two pieces of lettuce just by eating it raw. No, the boss might not come tomorrow, so he took two more pieces.
It filled up a not-so-big bag directly.
Then I ordered some mushrooms, a fish, and two pounds of crayfish.
Jiang Heng quickly calculated the total price: "It's 276 in total, just give me 275."
"Okay." Lin Jun scanned the code to pay and left with a bag full of dishes.
Yu Gui, who was at the back, stepped forward immediately and pointed at the lettuce curiously: "Boss, can I try the lettuce?"
She got off work early today, but her best friend was working overtime, so she came to buy groceries. She originally planned to buy some crayfish, but was attracted by the surprised look on the face of the person in front of her when he was eating lettuce. The lettuce at five yuan a head was really good value for money compared to others. The lettuce looked very good. Even the outermost green leaves did not look very dark in color. The leaves were stretched out and very juicy, as if they were still growing vigorously in the ground.
Seriously, I want to eat it!
I want to put it in my mouth and see how juicy it is.
Jiang Heng nodded naturally, "Of course." He smiled at the several customers who had gathered in line at the back and said, "Everyone can come and try it. These are cleaned vegetables. They are all natural and pesticide-free, so you don't have to worry about pesticide residue."
As he said this, he picked up the basket and handed it forward, motioning for Yu Gui to take it.
I didn't notice that a golden retriever not far away was looking around while taking its owner, who was playing with his mobile phone, for a walk. When it heard this, it took a look at first, and the next second, its nose moved as if it smelled something very fragrant. Its four legs changed direction very smoothly and brought its owner out of the block.
The people who were originally in line were attracted by the commotion and came over one after another. Some people even joked with a smile: "Hey, boss, this is the first time I know that you can taste lettuce. Now I feel embarrassed not to buy it."
"It's okay. It's okay if you don't buy after trying it." Jiang Heng explained immediately, a smile in her voice: "This is my first time selling lettuce, so I'm promoting it. If you like it, come and try it. You don't have to buy it intentionally. Of course, if you think it tastes good, you can still buy it."
The guests smiled even more and each of them took a piece to taste.
Then eat it.
Um? !
Not bad!
The taste is refreshing, at least there is no bitter taste of lettuce. Although I am not holding the heart of the vegetable, it tastes like I am eating the heart of the vegetable.

Its fur was smooth, and it looked like it was well taken care of. Its round black eyes didn't blink, and it sat down very politely, looking at her expectantly, its tail wagging on the ground.
The owner was playing with his mobile phone with his head down. As he was walking, he found that his golden retriever did not move. He looked up in confusion and met the stall owner holding a basket.

Wasn't she walking her golden retriever around the block?!
