Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Buy Sophora japonica flowers, God of Wealth
Aunt Ding looked at her, thought for a moment and said, "They're mine. You want to eat them, right? Just pick them yourself."
Well, if someone else wanted to eat the locust flowers from her garden, she would have to curse them for three blocks. But this was a newly arrived educated youth, and a generous one who gave her a candy as soon as they met, so she couldn't be stingy.
Zhuo Jia didn't even blink and started to make up a lie: "Auntie Ding, I didn't pick them to eat myself. I wanted to send them back to let them know that the people in our brigade are easy to get along with. I have many relatives and friends, so I can't just take yours for free."
Family members are really useful at this time, but free things are the most expensive, so she doesn't want them.
And if she really wanted to eat it herself, it would be fine, but she was going to sell it for money, so it was better to pay for it first.
Hearing this, Aunt Ding stared at Zhuo Jia for a while, then stood up, pulled her aside and said happily, "Come on, tell me, how much do you want?"
At first, everyone said that the locust tree should be cut down, but she insisted not to let them do so because she liked the locust flowers. But she never expected that one day the locust tree would be so successful.
Zhuo Jia thought for a moment and asked, "How many can you pick for me, Auntie?"
Sophora japonica flowers are not weighed, so you can order more!
Aunt Ding said without hesitation: "I can pick them all for you."
Compared with locust flowers, she likes money more.
"That's too much." Zhuo Jia said with a smile.
It's so sad. With such a big locust tree, you can pick at least 20 kilograms of locust flowers. But because she has no good reason, she can't pick them all!
Aunt Ding advised her: "What's the big deal? It's not much at all. You can put it all in one sack if you squeeze it hard."
Even if it's one cent per pound, she can still earn two dollars from this locust tree!
Zhuo Jia quickly shook her head: "No, you can't press it, it won't look good."
It’s not easy to sell. You have to know that the items she sells are priced by the purchasing group. What if the quality is not good and the purchasing group lowers the price?
It was a rare opportunity to meet an educated youth who was interested in her locust flowers. Aunt Ding continued to persuade him: "Then you can dry them before sending them back. There won't be many of them left after drying them, and you can eat dried locust flowers."
In previous years, she dried many of the locust flowers on her tree, so when they were not eaten, they could still be eaten!
Zhuo Jia said hesitantly, "Then should I get some sun, too?"
She can ask the 'locust flower vendor' if he buys dried locust flowers!
Under Aunt Ding's persuasion, Zhuo Jia generously ordered all the locust flowers from this tree. Before, she picked them by herself, but now Aunt Ding said that they would be sent to her after they were picked, or she could come and get them.
Zhuo Jia pursed her lips and asked, "Auntie Ding, when can you pack it up? I'll come get it."
She took away a few pounds of the locust flowers from the tree, which was not noticeable, and took the rest back to the educated youth site.
"Wait until evening. I'll ask your uncle to come back early so he can pick the fruits well." Aunt Ding said happily.
With such good treatment, what else could Zhuo Jia say? She nodded and said yes. Before leaving, she thought of something and turned around to ask, "By the way, Aunt Ding, what's the price?"
The locust flowers she bought from Aunt Ma in Hecheng were 20 cents per pound, but she thought it shouldn't be that expensive here, after all, locust flowers are more common here.
Aunt Ding looked at her and asked, "What do you think about ten cents per pound? Don't worry, it will be cleaned up very cleanly!"
"Okay." Zhuo Jia nodded.
She sells it at a much higher price in the purchasing agent group, so she generally won’t lower the price as long as you don’t cheat her.
After the negotiation, Zhuo Jia strolled away. As for whether Aunt Ding would suspect that she bought the locust flowers to sell on the black market, she definitely wouldn't, because the price she bought them at was not cheap, so why would she want to sell them on the black market?
I'm not stupid. Wouldn't it be better to use the money to buy food?
She didn't rush back to the educated youth site, but instead walked around the entire village, focusing on observing how many business opportunities there were!
When she was about to return to the educated youth site, some people had already left work and were heading home. When she got back to the educated youth site, Zheng Lijuan and the other two had already started cooking.
Zhao Shuhua came out and said, "Let's make some scrambled eggs tonight to replenish our body."
The others had no objection and, according to the usual standard, each took out an egg. Zhuo Jia and Zhang Yunhuan looked at each other and then went to borrow one from Feng Xiaoyu!
Feng Xiaoyu whispered, "We exchanged our eggs with the villagers. They're cheaper than going to the commune."
When I exchanged with the villagers, they always gave me big ones, and they only cost five cents each.
The two of them nodded seriously, and Zhuo Jia quickly said, "I'll go change after dinner."
Just after dinner, I was going to Aunt Ding's house to get some locust flowers, and I also wanted to see if Aunt Ding had any eggs.
Zhang Yunhuan thought for a moment and asked, "Jia Jia, could you bring me ten eggs?"
She is a little timid and doesn't dare to go out at night, especially to an unfamiliar place, even if someone is accompanying her!
"No problem." Zhuo Jia nodded without hesitation.
She was glad that Yun Huan asked her to take him with her. If he had gone with her, she wouldn't have known how to refuse. After all, she felt that eggs could be used as a business!
After dinner, Zhuo Jia strolled out and met many people along the way. The important thing is that she didn’t know any of them. However, when she walked over, she could clearly hear people talking about her.
When we arrived at Aunt Ding's house, we saw several baskets in the yard filled with locust flowers. It was really clean.
Seeing her coming, Aunt Ding was extremely kind. She grabbed her hand and said, "Zhuo Zhiqing, we've cleaned up everything. Can you see if there's anything dirty?"
Even without weighing it, she knew at a glance that it must be more than 20 kilograms, so is this locust flower?
No, it's money.
Zhuo Jia glanced at it and said nonchalantly, "Auntie Ding, it's okay. I'll send it back anyway, and they'll definitely clean it up before eating."
As for selling it, there is no problem at all. Her previous two sales were not so good.
Aunt Ding couldn't stop smiling. She nodded quickly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll put it in a sack and weigh it for you."
As for the sack, it was also washed clean. Although she wanted to make money, she had no intention of cheating Zhuo Zhiqing!
Zhuo Jia nodded and asked, "Auntie Ding, do you have any extra eggs at home? I want to exchange some."
This is a serious matter and cannot be forgotten.
Aunt Ding's eyes lit up even more, and she pulled Zhuo Jia towards the main hall: "Yes, Zhuo Zhiqing, how many do you want? I promise to pick the biggest ones for you!"
God of Wealth, this is her God of Wealth, no objection accepted.
Zhuo Jia thought for a moment and said, "Let's have fifty, for Yun Huan and I."
At this moment, she deeply wanted a home of her own, otherwise it would be too inconvenient!
Aunt Ding nodded, her smile showing through her teeth. She said with a smile: "Yes, I can pick out a big one for you. If it's not enough, I can go to my sister-in-law's house to pick one for you."
Keep the small ones for your own children and exchange the big ones for others.
Half an hour later, Aunt Ding put fifty eggs in a basket for Zhuo Jia. They were really big eggs, and the locust flowers were also put into a sack and weighed, a total of twenty-eight pounds.
Zhuo Jia gave Aunt Ding a total of 5.3 yuan for 28 kilograms of locust flowers and 50 eggs, which Aunt Ding helped him send back.
After Aunt Ding left, Feng Xiaoyu and the others gathered around Zhuo Jia and asked, "Zhuo Zhiqing, what do you want so many locust flowers for?"
This is too much. How long will it take to finish it?
Zhuo Jia smiled and said, "I didn't eat it myself. I have a friend who likes it. I kept some and sent some away."
Everyone: “…”
If I remember correctly, Zhuo Zhiqing came from Hecheng. Wouldn't it be useful to send these locust flowers to Hecheng?
Seeing everyone's bewildered look, Zhuo Jia smiled and said, "I'll dry it and send it."
The more the locust flowers are exposed to the sun, the less they will grow. If she collects some more during this process, who would be able to tell?
After talking to them for a while and giving Zhang Yunhuan ten eggs, Zhuo Jia began to clean up her pile. At the same time, she sighed in her heart. It was only this time. She would not take such a risk before moving out.
There are too many people here, and it would be bad if someone found out something was wrong.
But if I want to move out...
I still have to find a way to get married!
The next morning, Zhuo Jia poured the locust flowers in the sack into a borrowed large frame, and then placed them in the yard to dry. As for the remaining locust flowers, she directly put them into the warehouse.
It was dark last night and everyone only knew that there was a sack of locust flowers, but no one knew exactly how many there were.
On the way to work, Zhuo Jia sold the locust flowers in the warehouse, a little over 15 kilograms, for a total of 380 yuan. Looking at the balance, she breathed a sigh of relief. She would not take any more risks before moving out!
The next step is to slowly find a partner!
However, she soon changed her mind. She could no longer wait and had to find a partner quickly. She couldn't do this in a day.
On the way home from work, Zhang Yunhuan said with red eyes, "My hand hurts so much."
Woo woo woo, Mom and Dad, she wants to go home.
Zhuo Jia's eyes were also red: "My hand hurts too."
How should I find a partner for myself?
She must find someone who won’t let her work in the fields to earn work points!
Zhao Shuhua, who was standing next to them, comforted them quietly, "We were like this when we first arrived. Once we do it more and develop calluses on our hands, it will be fine."
Alas, it was like this when she first came, but what can she do? She got used to the sweat, tears and blood that flowed over and over again.
Zhuo Jia and Zhang Yunhuan both have the same type of horror, and they both feel they can't get used to it.
Zhang Yunhuan quickly shook his head, his face pale as he said, "I'm going to ask the captain for a job tomorrow."
She wants to do an easy job, so it doesn't matter if she gets fewer work points.
Zhuo Jia curled her lips and said aggrievedly: "I'll try again."
She worked hard for two days to build good relationships with those aunties, and after she found a good mother-in-law and a good partner, she quit!
What's even more unfortunate is that tomorrow it will be Zhuo Jia and Zhang Yunhuan's turn to cook. Reminded by Feng Xiaoyu before going to bed, the two looked at each other and wanted to die!
…
After breakfast the next day, Zhang Yunhuan dragged Zhuo Jia to find the team leader. Well, she didn't dare to do it herself.
"Zhang Zhiqing, the work you are doing now is already the easiest." The team leader said with some headache.
The easier job would be to collect grass for pigs, but that only earns a few work points a day.
However, Zhang Yunhuan was determined to exchange her food, even if it meant she had to use money to buy food. In the end, the team leader had no choice but to let her and her children go to collect grass for pigs.
As for Zhuo Jia, the captain didn't even give her a chance to speak and just turned around and ran away. It was obvious that she was scared by them.
After sending Zhang Yunhuan away, Zhuo Jia did not stay with the other educated youth this time. Instead, relying on her relationship with Aunt Ding, she joined Aunt Ding and her group. She did not say anything, but just listened silently!
