Chapter 230 Where do you get the money?
Jiang Xinbai rolled her eyes at her eldest son, snatched the melon seeds from his hand and threw them into the dustpan, "Don't eat them secretly, these are for your mother to sell for money."
Yang Jiabao got excited when he heard this. He immediately figured out what his mother was going to do. He smiled and said, "Mom, are you going to sell it at the entrance of the cinema? I'll help you!"
"I don't need you. Just study hard for me."
"Mom, I really can do it. Let me help you!" Yang Jiabao still didn't give up. He just followed Jiang Xinbai around.
"Go away, eat quickly, take a shower after eating, and study hard is your task."
Jiang Xinbai would not give in. His eldest son was already lazy in studying, and if these things aroused his thoughts, then there was really no point in him reading the book.
Yang Jiabao saw his mother's cold face, then curled his lips and thought to himself, "Humph, if he is not allowed to help, then he will do it himself."
After dinner, Jiang Xinbai saw that the melon seeds were dried, so he couldn't wait to start frying them.
"Jinsheng, turn up the fire, but not too big, keep it on low." Jiang Xinbai said as he poured another half pound of salt into the pot.
"Mom, why are you pouring salt?" Yang Jiabao leaned over and asked curiously.
"Yang Jiabao, have you finished your homework?" Jiang Xinbai gave her eldest son a blank look. He was quite cute when he was a child, why did he become so annoying now that he grew up?
Under his mother's glare, Yang Jiabao reluctantly returned to the west room, muttering as he walked, "Humph, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me."
Inside the house, Yang Jiadong saw his brother being chased in by his mother and said jokingly, "Brother, I told you that mom would definitely scold you, but you still didn't believe it."
Seeing that his brother was still laughing at him, Yang Jiabao pressed down on him and said, "Well, you still dare to laugh at me, your brother. Let me show you how I'm going to deal with you."
"Haha, brother, don't tickle me, haha, it's so itchy, brother..." Yang Jiadong was tickled so hard that he kept dodging and laughing until tears came out.
"See if you still dare to laugh at me?"
"I dare not, I dare not,"
"Yang Jiabao and Yang Jiadong, if you make trouble again, get out and don't come back." At this time, Jiang Xinbai's angry voice came from the backyard, and the two brothers immediately fell silent and quiet fell in an instant.
Jiang Xinbai sighed when he saw that the noise from the west room had stopped. He said, "You are already in your teens, but why are you still like a 7 or 8-year-old, making a fuss at every turn? Xiaobao is the same. I have to coax him to read. I don't know if the book is for him or for me."
Yang Jinsheng was open-minded, because he himself was not fond of studying, so he thought that his eldest son's personality was inherited from him.
So he started to defend his eldest son, "Xiaobai, everyone is good at different things. Xiaobao is not talented in studying, but who knows, he might be able to excel in other areas. You should give Xiaobao some time and stop criticizing him all the time. Boys need to save face when they grow up."
Jiang Xinbai glanced at her husband coldly and snorted, "You are a good person now. All right, Xiaobao will be under your care from now on. It is your responsibility whether he becomes successful or not."
When Yang Jinsheng heard his wife's words, he knew something bad was going to happen. He quickly apologized with a smile, "Hey, I was just talking nonsense. You are in charge. I don't understand. Let's not talk about Xiaobao anymore. Let's fry some melon seeds."
"Humph, I don't want to bother with you. Don't delay my plan to make a fortune."
“Yes, yes.”
"Turn down the heat a little, or my melon seeds are going to burn." Jiang Xinbai shouted to her husband while frying. Although adding salt would reduce the probability of the melon seeds burning to a certain extent, using too high a heat would also affect the taste of the melon seeds.
After frying for about ten minutes, Jiang Xinbai felt that it was almost done, so he pinched a melon seed from the pot and tasted it. "Hmm, not bad, not bad, it's done, turn off the heat, it's done, if you fry it any further it will be overcooked."
Yang Jinsheng stood up from the stove, not afraid of the heat, and grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the pot and started cracking them. He said as he cracked them, "Hmm, the flavor is in. It's spiced, even more fragrant than the ones from the supply and marketing cooperative. It's really good. Xiaobai, how about buying some more raw melon seeds? Even if we can't sell them, we can keep them for ourselves!"
"Bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about? Why can't it be sold?" Jiang Xin rolled her eyes at her husband. It hasn't even started yet, why is he so anxious to say such discouraging words? He doesn't even want to start well.
"Hey, I was wrong. There shouldn't be enough to sell." Yang Jinsheng said as he grabbed two handfuls from the pot and put them in his pocket.
Jiang Xinbai turned to look at his two sons hiding by the door and said unhappily, "Why are you hiding there? If you want to eat, come and get it yourself."
The two brothers of the Yang family rushed in immediately. Both of them were thick-skinned and grabbed a handful of melon seeds directly from the pot. For a while, the only sound in the whole kitchen was the sound of cracking melon seeds.
"Mom, I didn't expect you to have this skill! The fried melon seeds you make are better than the ones sold in the market. Why didn't you fry them before? You even went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy them, and sometimes the ones you bought were not good and they even had a rancid smell." Yang Jiabao shuddered when he mentioned the rancid smell. His mom's fried melon seeds were still the most delicious.
"Just eat it, why are you talking so much? Go away, I'll scoop up the melon seeds and let them cool down." Jiang Xinbai said as he scooped the melon seeds from the pot into the winnowing basket and shook it to dissipate the heat.
"Mom, we can finish them right away without even waiting for the heat to dissipate." Yang Jiabao curled his lips as he looked at the melon seeds in the winnowing basket. There were only a few of them, not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.
Jiang Xinbai couldn't help but roll his eyes at his eldest son after hearing what he said, "What? Are you eating the landlord's food? You can't make it through the night, right? Eat less, send some to your grandmother and second aunt, half a pound each."
As for my eldest sister, second brother and third brother, their homes are a bit far away, but the main thing is that there are not enough melon seeds to share.
"I'll do it, I'll deliver it to grandma." Yang Jiabao was very enthusiastic.
"Okay, take it to the table and share it!"
Before the melon seeds were taken away, Yang Jinsheng grabbed a handful and put them in his pocket. When he met his wife's rolling eyes, he laughed happily.
"Xiao Bai, listen to me. We really need to get some more raw melon seeds. Even if we can't sell so many at the entrance of the cinema, we can sell them somewhere else. Anyway, I think it's pretty good."
"Then get another ten kilograms?" Together with the remaining eight kilograms at home, it would be eighteen kilograms, which is already a lot.
"Mom, be brave and get another hundred kilograms. We want to become bigger and stronger." Yang Jiabao suddenly poked his head out and said.
"Yang Jiabao, it's easy for you to say that, but you pay for it?" One hundred kilograms of raw melon seeds would cost twenty yuan. What if she got a lot of them? Wouldn't she be able to buy meat with twenty yuan?
"My brother and I will contribute a part, but you have to share the proceeds with us after the sale, don't you think so, Jiadong?" Yang Jiabao looked at Jiang Xinbai seriously.
"Where did you get the money?" Jiang Xinbai looked at them suspiciously.
