Chapter 172 Today is my birthday?
Shang Ruoting thought that it was not easy to come out, so she waved to everyone.
"Comrades, I have some fruit left at a friend's house. Please wait here while I get it."
When everyone heard that she still had fruit to sell, they all said they were willing to wait a while.
Shang Ruoting pushed her bicycle to a deserted place, took out another basket of peaches and a basket of strawberries from the space, and sold them all out before the match factory's lunch break was over.
It has to be said that the purchasing power of employees in state-owned factories was very strong in this era.
When she was about to leave, those people did not forget to ask her when she could come again.
Shang Ruoting was not sure when she would come, she just said that she would come at noon next time, and everyone could just come out and take a look during their lunch break.
On the way home, Shang Ruoting entered the space as usual, took a hot spring bath and filled her stomach.
In addition, I counted today's harvest and found three baskets of strawberries and peaches, which were sold for 192 yuan.
One hundred and ninety-two yuan was definitely a lot in that era. She calculated it and took out seventy-eight yuan as the money for two baskets of strawberries. She would show it to Old Lady Shang and Tan Chen when she got back. As for the money from selling peaches and the extra basket of strawberries, it could not be seen in public for the time being.
Despite this, she was already very satisfied. Seventy-eight yuan was something that regular workers in the city might not be able to earn in two months.
While it was still early, Shang Ruoting checked the inventory in the warehouse again. The most abundant items at the moment were eggs taken out of the chicken coop, almost 10,000 of them. She was very troubled. She didn't dare to sell eggs in large quantities, as it would easily lead to misunderstandings. She just wanted to find an opportunity to deal with them.
There are also many other fruits, but they can only be sold when they are in season.
After resting enough, Shang Ruoting slipped out of the space and rode her bike home.
As soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I smelled the aroma of food coming from the kitchen. It was a bit like the smell from a restaurant, a mixture of sour, sweet and salty flavors.
Shang Ruoting was a little confused. Why did grandma cook so many dishes today?
"Grandma, Tan Chen, I'm back."
Tan Chen was the first to come out of the kitchen. His hands were covered with flour, and even his collar was not spared.
"Wife, you've worked hard today. Is everything going well?"
Shang Ruoting quickly pulled out a wad of money from her pocket and waved it in front of him: "Look, today we sold two baskets of strawberries for seventy-eight yuan."
When Tan Chen heard this number, he was extremely shocked. He could never have imagined that strawberries could be worth so much money.
Although he didn't see how many strawberries Shang Ruoting took away, he later went to the vegetable garden at home and found that the fruits were not much less. She sold them for 78 yuan. How did this woman do it?
"Wife, how come you sold it for so much money?"
Shang Ruoting raised her chin proudly: "Our strawberries are big, fleshy and delicious. I sell them for one yuan each, right in front of the match factory, and everyone is rushing to buy them."
Tan Chen now admires his wife from the bottom of his heart. She was only worth a penny, a price he couldn't even imagine, but she actually sold it...
He looked at his watch and said, "Wife, take a rest first. I'll go help grandma cook."
Shang Ruoting didn't think there was anything strange about Tan Chen going to help in the kitchen. The men in her family have always been very hardworking.
Since Tan Chen was helping with cooking, Shang Ruoting didn't plan to go in and make trouble. Before dinner started, she rode her bike to Yangmei's house.
I gave Yang Tao a bag of strawberry seeds soaked in diluted spiritual spring water. If she planted them now, she would be able to harvest them before the weather got cold. I also gave her some precautions before leaving.
When she got home, dinner was just ready. Old Mrs. Shang smiled and pulled her to sit at the table.
Looking at the food on the table, there were six dishes just as she expected.
Most importantly, there is roast duck...
There was also a bowl of noodles in front of her.
She looked at the two of them in confusion: "Grandma, Tan Chen, what day is today?"
Old Madam Shang tapped her forehead with her finger and said, "Girl, you don't even remember your own birthday?"
In fact, Shang Ruoting really didn't remember. The original owner's memories were all at Shang Lichun's house. With Zhang Lanxiang's personality, how could she possibly celebrate her birthday?
Therefore, it is even more impossible for Shang Ruoting to know what the original owner did not remember.
"Today is my birthday?"
Old Madam Shang scolded, "How could this be false?"
"Tan Chen went to Yihe Village early in the morning to buy a duck, saying that you like roast duck, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy spare ribs, saying that these are what you like to eat."
Shang Ruoting was very touched. No matter in her past or present life, this was the first time someone had helped her celebrate her birthday.
Looking at the bowl of longevity noodles in front of me, and thinking about the noodles on Tan Chen's hands and body, he must have made it for me.
There are also the ribs that are roasted to perfection, especially the roast duck, which looks crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the authentic pancakes. Grandma must have put a lot of thought into it.
Old Madam Shang looked at her in a daze and reminded her, "Stop looking and eat quickly."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tan Chen had already wrapped the roast duck in a pancake and placed it in front of her.
