Chapter 158 Selling Anyone Is Selling
"After breakfast later, pull out all the pumpkin vines in the field, plow the land again, and let it get some sun."
Zhao Chunhua said.
They plan to continue growing carrots on this land, so they need to clear away the old pumpkin vines first to provide a good growing environment for the newly planted carrots.
Cowpeas, peppers and eggplants can be kept for about a month without being processed.
This gives them plenty of time to slowly enjoy the vegetables without worrying about them quickly spoiling or losing their fresh flavor.
Shen Jiaze had no objection to this. In fact, the reason he stayed here today was to help with the work.
For a young man who is usually busy with work, such opportunities are rare, and he also cherishes the time to work with his family.
And all this doesn't matter to Shu Mian'er.
Although her husband had to work, the work was much easier than at the Shen family.
She feels that doing farm work here is a rare way to relax. Not only can she breathe fresh air, but she can also chat happily with her family.
Shu Mian'er put a piece of sausage into her mouth. Considering that she had taken so many things from her mother, she should do something for her.
She felt that this was what she should do and was also a way to repay her mother's kindness.
The aroma of the sausage brought a satisfied smile to her face.
"Mom, this sausage tastes really good."
Nowadays, everyone prefers fatty meat, but except for some special dishes, Zhao Chunhua herself prefers lean meat.
This sentence is not only a compliment, but also a sincere recognition.
This sausage is made according to the standard of three parts fat and seven parts lean.
In the past, at the end of each year, I would buy my own meat and bring it to the store to be processed into sausages.
This ensures both the freshness of the raw materials and the quality of the final product.
Not only can it fill sausages, but it can also smoke them for you. After the finished product comes out, it can also be stored in vacuum sealed bags, which is convenient and hygienic.
This way, you can easily take out and eat the food even when you are busy, without having to worry about the freshness of the food.
However, this was the last bit of her food supply. If she wanted to taste this flavor again in the future, she would have to prepare it herself.
This made her feel a little regretful but also sparked her interest in trying to make sausages herself in the future.
"If you like it, take a few more pieces."
Zhao Chunhua had given the Shen family a few pieces of sausage as gifts before, but judging from Shu Mian'er's reaction, it seemed that this was her first time tasting it.
Seeing her daughter so happy, Zhao Chunhua felt very relieved.
Only after Shen Jiaze took his tools to work in the fields did Zhao Chunhua start asking.
"The sausages you gave me last time were made during the autumn harvest. I had a poor appetite at that time, and seeing that everyone was working very hard, I gave my share to Jia Ze."
Shu Mian'er explained, and at the same time she felt very fortunate because she finally had the opportunity to taste this delicious food again.
"It's a good idea to do this. What I'm most afraid of is that you only report good news and not bad news. If you have troubles in your heart but don't say them out loud, it will only increase your burden invisibly."
As she spoke, Zhao Chunhua brewed a pot of hot red date tea. The aroma of the tea filled the air, making people want to have a taste of it.
She carefully handed the teacup to Shu Mian'er.
"I'm not the kind of person who would put myself in a difficult position, and Shen Jiaze will take good care of me."
Shu Mian'er sat leisurely on the bamboo chair, and a sense of pride was revealed in her words.
Her eyes seemed to sparkle with infinite longing and expectation for the future.
"So, my dear mother, are there any sausages left from this morning?"
Shu Mian'er asked.
If I had tasted its deliciousness before, I would never give all the sausages to Shen Jiaze. I would at least leave some for myself to savor.
"No more," Zhao Chunhua shook her head gently, "This sausage came from the neighboring mansion, and the merchant didn't buy too much."
"Is it easy to sell the pigs at home? I want to order a pig this year and plan to make some sausages and bacon myself."
Shu Mian'er suggested.
Her mother was surprised when she heard this: "Do you need a whole head of this much?"
"It's not much, actually. Your grandmother's families got some, and your eldest and second brothers also got some. In the end, there wasn't much left for me."
Zhao Chunhua explained.
Nowadays, a pig that weighs 200 kilograms in a year is considered a large pig. However, after removing the internal organs and bones, the amount of edible meat is actually not as much as it appears.
It was a coincidence. If Shen Jiaze and the others hadn't come back, Zhao Chunhua had originally planned to go to the vegetable market on the west side of the town to see if the vendors specializing in selling game had any suitable ingredients for her to choose from.
Since they all deal with meat, maybe they have a way to buy pork.
Thinking of this, Zhao Chunhua felt that this possibility was not low, because these people specialized in the meat business after all.
Zhao Chunhua didn't want to be the center of attention in the village.
After all, she understood that such attention and excitement brought her no real benefits. It could not be used to make a living, nor could it be directly converted into money or resources. Not to mention that it aroused excessive curiosity from others for no reason. This was of no help to her who hoped to live a peaceful life. Therefore, she was quite averse to such unnecessary attention.
So I buy delicious food quietly to avoid letting others know about the situation of my home.
That way, you won't get into trouble.
She thought about it and found that the family actually didn't need much meat. Just enough was enough and there was no need to stockpile too much.
Shu Mian'er said, "We have recently sold a batch of pigs that we have raised. If you need one, I can find a chance to tell Jia Ze to go home and tell our family to leave one for you."
As she spoke, she thought that it would be sold anyway, so why not help?
It doesn’t matter who you sell it to.
This sentence actually reveals Shu Mian'er's casual attitude, as long as someone is willing to buy it, it's fine.
"You should discuss this with Jia Ze first. What if the pigs we raise at home have been reserved by other customers?"
Zhao Chunhua was not in a hurry to make a decision immediately. She knew clearly that as long as she had money, she would be able to buy the food she needed under any circumstances.
If the pigs already had owners, she certainly wouldn't want to break any previous agreements or promises to them.
"Then I'll ask him when he comes back.
Ask first. "
After saying this, Shu Mian'er turned around and her eyes fell on Xiao Shitou, who was sitting on the mat and happily playing with a toy doll in his hand.
Looking at the innocent look of the child, she couldn't help but sigh, thinking that this mother was really good at educating the next generation.
