Lin Chaobei couldn't beat Lin Chaodong in the task of lighting the stove and starting the fire. He was so anxious that he kept chattering and giving orders, sometimes telling him to "hurry up, the fire is going to go out!" and sometimes telling him to "slow down, don't put out the fire." Lin Chaodong was so angry that he kicked him, but he still wouldn't behave.
Lin Chaodong and his group couldn't buy coal, they only managed to buy charcoal.
As Yue Jiuyue placed the washed sweet potatoes one by one on the iron rack to roast, she could feel the solemnity of the three brothers, as if they were holding some important ceremony, including Liu Shi and Xiao Man'er.
Yue Jiuyue felt that she had been acting too nonchalantly and was out of place with them, so she straightened her posture and became more serious.
"Mom, how long will it take to bake? Can I open it and take a look?"
Lin Chaobei's claws were itching to strike.
"What's the rush? You've roasted sweet potatoes before, haven't you? Don't you know how long it takes for them to cook?"
Yue Jiuyue was too proud to admit that she didn't know.
"Oh, this oven takes so long to roast sweet potatoes? Won't it burn them too?"
They're lucky if half of the sweet potatoes they roast are edible. If the oven is the same, then there's no point in building one. It's just a waste of money.
"Stop talking so much! Just wait and see, you'll find out in a minute."
She had no idea about all that; she had never sold roasted sweet potatoes before, nor had she ever used a roasting oven for sweet potatoes.
The family of six did nothing else that day but stayed by the sweet potato oven, roasting batch after batch of sweet potatoes.
The first batch, because the charcoal had just been added, didn't have a very strong fire, so it took about half an hour to bake. The next two batches each took about 15 minutes, which should be the normal time for baking sweet potatoes.
"How about we take the oven to town tomorrow and try selling some?"
Lin Chaodong asked the others.
"Why don't we try selling them in the county town? We don't have many sweet potatoes left. We've been selling them in town the other day. We should be able to get a good price in the county town, right? There will be even more rich people there."
Lin Chaobei had a different opinion.
“These things should be discussed by the three of you brothers. If it doesn’t work, we can order another stove. Some are in town, some are in the county. Just one thing, you can’t go alone.”
Yue Jiuyue said.
She doesn't interfere in the three brothers' affairs, but she worries that if they encounter trouble on their own outside, they won't have anyone to support them, just like when she went to the county town last time.
At least she has a cheat code; these people don't have her good luck. If they really run into trouble, they might just fall apart.
As soon as she said that, the three brothers, whose eyes had just lit up, immediately wilted again.
I wish I could each buy an oven and go to different places to sell roasted sweet potatoes! I'd definitely make a lot of money!
However, their mother's worries were not unfounded. They themselves did not have the courage to go to an unfamiliar place to sell things, especially food. If they were robbed, they would just be vegetable deliverymen by themselves and would not be able to make any money!
It's good enough if they come back healthy and energetic!
"Mother, we understand."
Yue Jiuyue quickly learned of the three brothers' decision.
The first day we went to the county town, the second day we went to the neighboring town, the third day we went to Huandong Town, the fourth day…
Anyway, I change locations every day and never sell in the same place for two consecutive days, even if that place is really profitable.
