Chapter 124: Limited to one per person

Other people's shops always have the best business in the first few days after opening.

But Jiang’s snack shop is getting better day by day.

The hottest period has passed.

The sun was setting slightly.

The Jiang family’s ox cart appeared on the country road on the way home.

There are mountains on the left and villages and fields on the right.

Jiang Fubao sat in his grandmother's arms, looking at the dried-up ditch.

Originally there was a stream here.

As she passed by, she saw many small fish swimming in it.

Now that the stream has disappeared, the little fish are probably dead too.

But it never rained.

The sun shines brightly on the earth every day.

Merciless.

When the ox cart arrived at the village entrance.

Jiang Fubao saw a group of old women sitting under a big tree.

They were holding palm-leaf fans, chatting and laughing.

The moment the ox cart appeared, everyone's eyes turned to the Jiang family.

"What do you think the Jiang Zhang family is doing going to the town every day?"

"I don't know, but does this ox cart really belong to her relatives on her mother's side?"

"If it's not her mother's family, where else could it be from? This bull is very strong, and you can't buy it without fifteen taels of silver. How can the Jiang family be so rich? I don't believe it."

"A few days ago, her family bought a basket of green beans from me. I guess they haven't sold all of them yet. They are so idle. They can't earn much money running around. And Ma Chunxia, ​​she usually sits under the tree and chats with us. Today, I went to her house and she didn't come even after calling her for a long time. You don't know that her yard is full of bamboos."

"Bamboo? What do you need it for? To make bamboo chopsticks or bamboo tubes. There are only a few people in the family. They don't feel tired from cutting so much bamboo. Why do these people have problems in their brains? We should just stay away from them."

The bullock cart left.

The woman under the tree was chatting louder and louder.

The topic all revolved around Zhang Jinlan and Ma Chunxia.

But the person involved doesn't know it.

"Hey, Sister Jinlan, you're back? As soon as I heard the sound of the oxcart, I knew it was you. My family has made another hundred bamboo tubes. I'll send them to you after you finish dinner."

Ma Chunxia stood at the door of her house.

Said to Zhang Jinlan.

She had dark circles under her eyes, but she looked very excited.

It is really against the rules.

Jiang Fubao took a look inside.

Jiang Liwen and Jiang Liwu were seen sitting on a bench grinding bamboo tubes with a look of boredom.

The two of them were like robots, with their eyes half-closed and their hands moving in unison.

"No rush, you can just send it tomorrow morning. I'm going home first, you go ahead."

The ox cart did not stop, and Zhang Jinlan's voice drifted away from near.

Until it stops at the doorstep.

"Old man, why are you so sad?"

As soon as he entered the house, Jiang Fubao saw his grandfather sitting on a chair and sighing.

Grandma asked loudly.

"The fields are very dry, and the sun is getting hotter and hotter. I see that the crops are growing too slowly. Even brown rice can't stand the sun, and there's no rain at all. The water level in the river is up to my calf. If this continues, I'm afraid that not only will the crops in our village die of thirst, but people will also have no water to drink."

Jiang Shoujia's brows were furrowed with worry.

"It's no use worrying about this. We can only have children if God wants us to. Let's live one day at a time. If things don't work, we can spend money to dig a well. I remember there are mountain springs and groundwater in the surrounding area. We can always find a way to survive."

Since opening the shop at home, Zhang Jinlan has become much more optimistic.

Even if the crops die of thirst, it’s okay. At worst, I can just take Yinzi and his family and flee to the southernmost part of the country.

Adults' sorrow comes quickly and goes away quickly.

After dinner.

Jiang Fubao sat in the yard thinking about a problem.

Since the water and electricity in the space can be used normally.

Could she bring the tap water outside?

Just do it.

At night, she took advantage of the sleep of the family and went to the water tank outside the kitchen.

Not a drop of water is flowing out of the pipe that carries the mountain spring water.

The water used at home now is all carried from the river.

Jiang Fubao stretched out a hand.

Align it with the cylinder.

Then he stared at the kitchen faucet.

Next second.

A magical thing happened.

The kitchen faucet turned on by itself, and water flowed into Jiang Fubao's palm.

Soon the water tank was filled.

Sure enough, this trick works.

Jiang Fubao entered the space.

I found that there was not a drop of water in the kitchen sink.

She went back to her room and went to sleep contentedly.

After getting up, I just walked out of the room and saw grandma giving money to Ma Chunxia who lived next door.

The Liwen brothers carried two large bamboo baskets.

It was filled with bamboo tubes.

At least twice as much as yesterday.

The copper coins that grandma took out also filled Ma Chunxia's palm.

"Two hundred bamboo tubes, a total of forty coins, count them. I'm not making money on your behalf. Look at Liwen and the other guy, they can fall asleep while standing. That's not the way to make money. I can't run away. You've been working all day and all night, right? Go to bed early and don't overwork yourself. If you get sick, I'll have to find someone else to help you."

Ma Chunxia's eyes were bloodshot.

I stayed up late just by watching it.

Liwen and Liwu also laughed loudly.

Zhang Jinlan shook her head as she watched.

How can you make money this way?

It's simply a life-threatening job.

"Okay, I'll go back to sleep now. Life is tough at home. The hens haven't laid many eggs recently. I can't do anything about it. So, I'll bring you bamboo tubes after dinner every day. I can only make 150 a day, not more. It's really tiring. We didn't sleep much the night before last, and we stayed up until late last night."

After saying that, Ma Chunxia yawned again.

I was so sleepy that tears were streaming.

She waved to Zhang Jinlan and took her two sons back.

When leaving, he did not forget to take the bamboo basket he brought the day before.

Zhang Jinlan watched them leave with a smile.

The end of the Chen hour.

The moment Jiang’s Snack Shop opened its door.

Seven or eight people rushed in.

Everyone wants to buy grilled sausages and potatoes.

Some people even ask for ten.

Provoked public anger.

"You are such a wicked person. We have all waited for so long. If you buy ten, what will we buy?"

"That's right. I've been waiting in line for two days. It's so unethical."

"Shopkeeper, don't sell to him. If everyone does this, what will we eat?"

"......"

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

Zhang Jinlan and Jiang Dahe brothers quickly pulled them apart.

"Don't worry, each person is only allowed to buy one. We won't sell ten. Mr. Xu, I remember you didn't buy one yesterday, so I saved one for you today. Don't be angry, calm down. You came early, so everyone will definitely be able to buy one."

Zhang Jinlan naturally wouldn't sell it.

The most profitable items in the shop are mung bean soup and meat cakes.

Grilled sausages and potatoes are the rare items that attract customers.

Just take this amount every day.

To offend regular customers for the sake of it is simply to destroy one's own reputation.

Zhang Jinlan couldn't have done that.

Hear her words.

The few people who were the most angry suddenly calmed down.

In the end, all the customers who lined up early in the morning were able to buy grilled sausages and potatoes.

There is no need to rush if you arrive late. You can buy a cup of mung bean soup or a meat pie and sit in the shop to enjoy it slowly.
