Chapter 23 Want to Buy a House
Shen Qingyue said to Shen Mei: "Sister, why don't you sleep for a while? It's too early to get up in the morning."
Chen Mei said, "No need." Her eyes were shining. Not only could she not sleep, but her whole body was full of strength.
Chen Mei was worried about running out of money before, but when she saw that she could make money, she was extremely excited.
Chen Mei said, "If you're tired, go to sleep first. I'll go clean up."
Shen Qingyue said: "I'm not tired either. I'll go to Aunt Yun's place to get the pickle jar and the big radish."
"become!"
The two sisters had a clear division of labor: Chen Mei did the washing and rinsing at home, while Shen Qingyue went out to buy groceries.
As soon as I came out, I saw the little girl from the tofu shop looking out the door: "My mom asked me to ask you, do you want tofu tomorrow?"
Shen Qingyue said, "I want two plates." Her spicy tofu is delicious, and she didn't sell enough today, so she had to increase the quantity.
When the little girl heard this, she immediately said, "Okay." Her answer was crisp.
Shen Qingyue smiled, and then the little girl ran away.
Shen Qingyue went to Aunt Yun's house. It was said that her ancestors had been selling pickles. Later, they quit, and there were still a lot of jars and cans left at home. The villagers all went to her house to buy jars for pickled vegetables.
When Shen Qingyue arrived, she immediately fell in love with the large jar in her house, which was more than a meter tall. It would be perfect for pickling sauerkraut in the winter!
However, she is currently staying at the village chief's house, so it is not convenient for her to buy these things.
I could only buy two small jars.
Shen Qingyue was very eager to buy a house. The small kitchen was adequate for now, but once her business took off, it would definitely not be enough.
Shen Qingyue bought 100 kilograms of white radish.
Aunt Yun was delighted and said, "Just take the jar home. I'll have someone deliver the white radish to you later. Do you still want some radishes? If you do, I'll plant more."
The white radishes she grew were all for her own consumption. This time, they were almost all gone. It was still a good season, so if Shen Qingyue wanted more, she'd add some more radish seedlings!
"Yes." Shen Qingyue agreed without thinking.
The sweet and sour radish she made in her previous life was originally a complimentary dish. It was so crispy and refreshing that it increased her sales so much that it almost became her signature dish!
Now that Shen Qingyue has returned to her old job, she can do without anything else, but she must arrange for this carrot.
"Oh, okay." Aunt Yun said happily.
Shen Qingyue went to buy some other vegetables. In the village, the prices were so low that they seemed to be free. Shen Qingyue bought everything else in a short while.
She didn't plan to have the same dishes every day, so she had to change them up frequently.
As soon as Shen Qingyue passed by Mrs. Li's yard, she was stopped by Mrs. Li and insisted on giving Shen Qingyue an apple. This apple was brought from the five other counties and was extremely precious.
Shen Qingyue said: "What is Grandma Li doing? It's too expensive."
Old Mrs. Li said, "Hurry and take it. Don't let anyone see it. I love you, child. I wish you were my own granddaughter!"
In the past, Old Lady Li just felt sorry for what the Shen sisters had to go through in the Shen family.
After getting to know each other, I felt more and more that Shen Qingyue was a promising person.
As for the car rental issue, Mrs. Li had heard about it from her son. No one in the county had a car, so moving goods was inconvenient, so he had opened up some channels.
Thanks to Shen Qingyue hiring a car, what happened later happened.
Mrs. Li's family doesn't have much land, so they don't need so many people.
Now Uncle Zhuangzi has opened up another path.
It all depends on Shen Qingyue!
Old Mrs. Li thought that as elderly people, they didn't dare to leave the village.
Shen Qingyue, a little girl, actually had such a plan. Xu Xiuzhi abandoned the girls from the eldest wife's house. She really threw away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds!
Old Mrs. Li wanted to make friends with Shen Qingyue, so she took out the precious apple.
Shen Qingyue accepted the apple with gratitude and went home.
On the way back, Shen Qingyue's mind was full of thoughts about the house. She didn't even say hello to the women from the village when she passed by. Everyone thought she was in a trance!
I couldn't help but say in a few words: "Oh, how pitiful. It must have been a loss."
"Of course not. That's how business works. I'm just a farmer, so I'm not destined for that."
As Liu Yu passed by, she heard this and immediately went back to the Shen family's old house to report the matter to her mother-in-law: "Oh, Shen Qingyue and the others paid compensation."
When Xu Xiuzhi heard the news, she immediately felt proud: "Hey, I told you so. Serves them right! It's their fault for showing off!"
…
When Shen Qingyue returned home, Aunt Dahua had not returned yet. Shen Qingyue quickly pulled Shen Mei aside and said, "Sister, I want to buy a house. Where do you think we can buy the homestead?"
They were all born here and have a deep affection for their hometown, especially the eldest sister.
They didn't want to live in disgrace after the family split up. The Shen sisters were holding their breath, wanting to show the villagers, especially their grandparents, that girls were no worse than boys.
Besides, my parents' graves are here too. Burning paper and offering sacrifices during festivals and holidays is essential, as it can't be without roots.
Chen Mei said: "The best place is the large piece of land next to the village chief." They are girls, and they are closer to this place, so those single men are more well-behaved!
Shen Mei said, “But that piece of land seems to be what the village chief wants to leave to his son.”
That piece of land has a good location and is large. Many people are interested in it, but no one dares to compete with the village chief for the land.
Chen Mei said: "Apart from this side, there is the one at the village entrance. But it is too close to the old house." That piece of land is also ownerless.
It was like that before the separation. Now that it’s been separated, I see my grandparents’ unhappy faces every day, and I feel unhappy just thinking about it.
Besides, the family division has been a mess. Who knows what disgusting tricks they will come up with.
Other places are overgrown with weeds, remote and unsafe.
Shen Qingyue said: "Let's save more money. If you really like the village chief's place, give more money and ask."
The village chief's two sons both have formal jobs and are developing their careers outside the village. They may not necessarily return to the village to settle down. However, the cost of living outside the village is much higher than in the village, so there are always places where money can be used.
Shen Qingyue said, "Let's build three big tiled houses later, one for each of the three sisters, and also make a big kitchen."
Chen Mei was filled with longing after hearing what Shen Qingyue said: "If it really works, that would be great."
By then, no one in the village would look down upon the sisters.
Chen Mei said, "How much money do we need to prepare?"
Shen Qingyue said: "Two thousand yuan is enough."
One thousand yuan to buy a residential plot, and one thousand yuan to build a house.
Even though Chen Mei was mentally prepared, she still gasped. Two thousand yuan! Shen Qingyue was really audacious. However, today's stall gave her hope. If sales were this good every day, it should be possible in a few months!
Chen Mei is now more motivated to work: "What else can I do?"
Shen Qingyue said, "Clean up the chicken skeleton. Remove the dirty fat lymph and cut it into small pieces. I'll mix it with the marinade later and we'll dry-fry it twice. Tomorrow I'll make it into fried sweet and sour chicken skeletons."
Although Chen Mei didn't know how Shen Qingyue was going to cook it, it sounded delicious.
