Under the big banyan tree.
Da Cheng's mother looked at him with disdain: "Doing business? Chen Xian is a lazy bum. It would be a miracle if he knew how to farm. I think it's a complete waste of time. He should just go to the market and sell wild vegetables like me. He can earn ten coins a time."
Gou Dan's mother, standing nearby, flattered him, "Yes, he has no idea how to do business. Da Cheng's mother, please teach me. I'll go to the market with you tomorrow, and you can teach me the tricks of selling vegetables."
Da Cheng's mother said smugly, "Let me tell you, there's a lot to know about selling vegetables..."
Upon arriving at the Chen family's house, Chen Xian went inside, took out five coins, and handed them over.
"Brother Shui, could you please give us a ride? This is the fare."
Chen Dashui's face fell. "What do you mean by this? Are you still going to see me?"
We're about to leave.
Chen Xian explained with a smile, "Brother Shui helped a lot at the stall, I can't let you help for nothing, can I?"
Chen Dashui waved his hand, "You're being too polite. If my dad finds out, he'll scold me to death."
With a flick of the whip, he drove off.
Helpless, Chen Xian turned and went back into the house.
My uncle's family are all honest and kind people.
I've made up my mind that I'll definitely get along well with my uncle's family from now on.
After all, in the village, everyone prospers together; if you go it alone, you're more likely to suffer losses when something happens.
"Dad, how's business?"
Chen Dazhu has returned, his trousers covered in mud.
Chen Xian took out the rice and flour.
The Chen family members stared wide-eyed.
About seven or eight pounds of flour, which means business is not bad?
Chen Erzhu calmly replied, "Not bad."
That's all?
The Chen family was about to listen when it ended?
Chen Xian smiled and said, "I bought another eight catties. I used the rest to buy buckwheat noodles. Business is not bad. I'll continue tomorrow."
San Niu exclaimed, "Dad, I want to go too! I've never been to town before!"
Si Niu: "Me too."
Cuihua said calmly, "Third Sister, Fourth Sister, your father isn't taking you out to play. You need to stay at the stall and take care of the business."
The little girl nodded vigorously, saying "Mmm-hmm."
Chen Xian: Oh well, my wallet's going to be in trouble tomorrow. When you take the kids out, you can't just not buy them anything to eat.
Chen Erzhu calmly said, "San Niu, Si Niu, let me make this clear from the start: you are not allowed to ask your father for money to buy food at the market. Our family business has just started, and it will be very difficult to earn even a single penny."
"Uh-huh……"
Su Liniang was chopping vegetables in the kitchen, Cuihua was cooking, and Su Shuangshuang was chopping firewood.
Chen Xian: "Li Niang, find the bamboo shoots I picked yesterday. They're really crisp when stir-fried."
Soon after, the buckwheat pancakes were cooked, steam billowing around them. Small green peppers and bamboo shoots were stir-fried together and sprinkled with salt. The aroma was simply irresistible.
The Chen family sat around a table, each with a buckwheat pancake. Looking at the crisp mountain bamboo shoots, everyone couldn't help but swallow.
Chen Xian: "Dinner's ready!"
