Chapter 150 Air-dried duck neck
The next morning at five o'clock, Sister Lu and two others went to the greenhouse to pack vegetables.
The two diligently earned one yuan. Sister Lu could only make fifty cents a day. But she was content. Fifty cents a day, fifteen cents a month, greatly alleviated her financial strain.
The women's director knew Lu Xiang had been working hard for the village, so she had specifically instructed her yesterday to get up early and eat before going. Lu Xiang had simply made a meal and baked some snacks that morning.
These snacks were duck necks from the Fu family. She made a makeshift grill and put them on it to roast. This required careful preparation, not too high or too low a fire.
After finishing, each duck neck has a honey color.
This time he took twenty and asked Xiao Cailian to deduct them from the dividend money.
Xiao Cailian didn't want to, but Lu Xiang insisted.
Xiao Cailian felt that Lu Xiang was doing a great job.
Everyone in the Fu family loves to eat duck necks, but they can’t eat them for ten days because they are waiting to sell them for money.
No one would say anything about Lu Xiangna's words, but after a while, some people would have some thoughts.
But when Lu Xiang said that it would be deducted from her dividends, everyone stopped talking, because it was equivalent to her buying it with her own money.
Lu Xiang took the braised duck necks one step further and made them into dried duck necks. Ten duck necks were placed in one bag, for a total of two bags.
The next day when Lu Xiang went to the village entrance, the women's director and her mother were waiting for her.
We also brought 500 kilograms of fresh vegetables, double what we brought yesterday. Cucumbers and tomatoes were the most abundant, with peppers, bamboo shoots, cabbage, and other greens less abundant.
The director of women's affairs smiled as soon as she saw Lu Xiang: "Xiangxiang, look how well these vegetables are wrapped."
Lu Xiang then noticed that this time, some of the items were packed in six-jin packages, some with single vegetables like cucumbers and tomatoes, and some with a mix of fresh vegetables. Some were also loose, which was more convenient.
When going out to sell goods, they always pick the best ones. The vegetables that look a little inferior are distributed to village cadres or some elderly people in the village.
Everyone is very happy to be able to eat fresh vegetables at the beginning of this season.
Many families in the village have not divided up their family property, and the food is distributed to the elderly over 50 years old, which means that the whole family can eat it.
As for the length, the villagers don’t care, as long as it tastes good.
Fat Liu came on time today.
The women's director told him about the 20 yuan salary she gave him every month.
Fatty Liu said, "No!"
But the villagers insisted on giving it.
Fatty Liu accepted it and said with a smile, "I even got a regular job this time!"
Then they got into the car together, with Lu Xiang sitting in the passenger seat.
The women's director and Mother Lu sat in the back.
The whole carriage was filled with the aroma of green vegetables, which was quite comfortable.
Lu Xiang directly gave the dried duck neck to Liu Pang.
Fatty Liu didn't even look at what it was. When he saw it was from Lu Xiang, he immediately smiled and said, "I've already received your salary. How can I have the nerve to eat your food?"
Lu Xiang said, "I made this especially for you. If you don't want it, I'll take it away."
Fatty Liu wouldn't refuse it, so he immediately asked, "Why is there still one?"
Lu Xiang said: "That's for Liu Zhang!"
Fatty Liu said, "Don't worry about eating or anything like that. He can't even spend all his meal tickets, so we can just lighten his burden."
Fatty Liu happily asked Lu Xiang, "What is this?"
“Air-dried duck neck.”
Fat Liu had eaten duck necks before, but never dried ones. He just felt that Lu Xiang always brought him delicious food.
After arriving at the steel mill, Liu Zhang was waiting there, waiting for them to bring out the vegetables and arrange them.
Liu Zhang's eyes lit up: "Your village is really good at it!" They divided it right away.
Looking at the colorful ones that looked like small fruit baskets, he wanted to buy some.
Tomatoes and cucumbers became famous yesterday.
As soon as the lunch bell rang today, people rushed out and immediately went to the stall to buy cucumbers and tomatoes.
When we got here, we found that they were already packed. It was a buy five get one free deal. There were so many tomatoes and cucumbers, enough for the whole group to eat.
Pay the money, take it and leave.
After they finished shopping, they didn't waste any time and went to the cafeteria to grab food.
If you don’t want to buy so much, you can buy in bulk.
Here, the food was weighed and the women's director collected the money. They were busy with the crowd.
Seeing the steel mill bustling with activity again, the people from the spring factory nearby couldn't sit still and came over to ask about the situation.
It's just that the workers at the spring factory got the news late, and some of the popular vegetables had already sold out.
Xiao Liu grabbed the last bag of chili peppers: "This stuff is great!" He loves spicy food. The pickled chilies he had prepared were all eaten long ago, and he was worried about what to eat.
When he saw the fresh chili peppers, he broke them open and put them in his mouth, feeling the long-lost spiciness, and said, "Order me another 50 kilograms tomorrow!" Moreover, the soy sauce chili peppers made by his mother are amazing, and the whole family loves them.
And once it is pickled, it can be kept for one and a half months. It can be eaten for a long time.
You can’t buy fresh chili peppers even if you have money.
Lu Xiang asked, "Do you really want these?"
Xiao Liu said, "How about I give you money first!" Then he was about to take out his pocket, but he didn't have that much money.
Lu Xiang said: "It's okay, I'll bring you 50 kilograms tomorrow, but if you don't come to pick it up at noon, we'll sell it."
Xiao Liu readily agreed, saying he definitely wanted it. Just as he was about to leave, he remembered something. "Oh, you guys have a buy-one-get-one-free deal. If I buy 50 kilograms, I'll get 60 kilograms, right?"
Lu Xiang nodded.
Xiao Liu said, "Okay! I'll come get it tomorrow during lunch break."
Soon the last bag of vegetables was sold out, even faster than yesterday.
What surprised the women's director was that Mother Lu showed her talent in selling vegetables and dared to talk to people from the steel plant.
She was also very efficient in selling vegetables, even better than the women's director's performance yesterday.
Mother Lu was very happy when she saw that everyone selling vegetables here was willing to pay.
Lu Xiang gave the dried duck neck to Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang was also happy. He took them to the cafeteria and took a few people to the steel plant.
The director of the women's department was very happy, and now she had something to talk about when she returned.
After walking around for a long time, Fat Liu brought everyone back to Dayu Village.
Liu Zhang returned to his father's office and took out some dried duck necks to eat. His father had just finished his meal and smelled the food and took a look.
Liu Zhang was stunned when he saw it. The duck neck was straight, but there was no meat on it.
There was only a layer of meat stuck on it like skin, and I didn't know how to eat it.
His father said beside him: "What is this? It smells weird!"
He gave one to his father.
His father took a bite. The meat was firm yet chewy. The more he ate, the more delicious it became. It was perfect for drinking. He said, "No more eating. Leave all this to me."
Liu Zhang knew it was good stuff as soon as he heard it. His father was the factory director and had eaten all kinds of delicious food.
I don't look down on good things on weekdays.
Seeing his father still protecting his food, Liu Zhang grabbed one and chewed it, his eyes widening in surprise.
He ate very thoroughly throughout the entire afternoon, eating every shred of meat from every joint.
I actually felt satisfied after eating a duck neck. I gathered the small bones into a handful and played with them in my hands for a while.
Just don't eat the duck neck.
He wanted to take it when his father wasn't paying attention, but his father glared at him fiercely and said, "Uncle Chen is coming home tonight, and we're worried about having no food to go with the wine."
Liu Zhang was a little dissatisfied: "This is given to me by Lu Xiang!"
"So what? I'm your father."
Liu Zhang said: "If you don't rely on me, you won't be able to eat at all. I want to go to Uncle Chen's dinner tonight too!" At least I want to get a few more duck necks to nibble on.
His father laughed and scolded: "What a waste!"
