Li Meihua suddenly realized, "Do you need a scale to sell things? We don't have one at home, and I don't think I've ever heard of anyone having one. We don't usually sell anything, so nobody would buy from us."
Qiao Xiaoni said, "You don't need to worry about the scale. I'll borrow one from someone. If they sell them at the market, I'll buy one."
Li Meihua smiled, "Since you've thought it all out, I won't worry about it. Just ride your bike slowly on the road. I'll make scrambled eggs for lunch and wait for you to come back."
Qiao Xiaoshan leaned over and said, "Mom, you're so stingy! You're just having scrambled eggs for lunch!"
Li Meihua pushed her son's chest, "You're lucky we have scrambled eggs to eat. What else do we have at home?"
Qiao Xiaoni said, "Just make something simple to eat. I'll go to the market today and see if they have any fish. I'll buy one and cook it for dinner."
Buying fish would cost money again, and Li Meihua felt a pang of pain in her heart, thinking about how hard her children worked every day.
"Then don't buy anything too expensive, just one is enough. Don't think about spending money recklessly after you earn it. If you live frugally, you can make a living in the long run."
Qiao Xiaoni nodded in agreement. She didn't intend to buy any expensive fish, and besides, buying fish depended on luck.
The good news is that the small truck was completed thanks to their efforts, and Qiao Xiaoshan rode it around the yard.
"It's alright, but the bike is a bit heavy. I guess it will be tiring going uphill."
Qiao Xiaoni said, "When going uphill, you can get off and push the bike. This will save time and make it less likely to tip over."
Qiao Xiaoshan stopped the car. "Your idea is good. I can just push it uphill."
Su Chenhao put the basket on the ground into the truck bed, gestured for a moment, worried that the basket would be thrown out if he went too fast, then found two ropes and secured the basket to the truck.
With everything ready, Qiao Xiaoshan rode off on his bike.
Su Chenhao got on his bicycle, and Qiao Xiaoni followed closely behind, sitting on the back, and they began their busy day.
Qiao Haisheng escorted them all the way to the village entrance. Seeing that his son was riding his bike smoothly, he felt relieved and hummed a little tune all the way home.
Qiao Xiaoshan rode very slowly at first, but gradually increased his speed after getting used to it.
Qiao Xiaoni kept looking behind him, worried that something might happen to him. Fortunately, the journey to the town went very smoothly.
Today they were selling meat, so Qiao Xiaoni had Su Chenhao park at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative and go inside to buy some plastic bags to pack the meat later.
It's still in the same spot. There's a large space reserved next to the old lady, just enough to park a truck. You can park your bicycle there first, so it doesn't take up much space.
Grandma Sun was so surprised to see that the brother and sister had actually gotten a modified little car that she stood up from the stool.
"Girl, what are you planning to sell this time?"
Qiao Xiaoni took the rope tied to the basket, opened the lid, and a meaty aroma wafted out.
I reheated it this morning, and it's still a little warm. People around me were immediately drawn to it, and some even stared wide-eyed as they gathered around.
The town market has everything, except cooked meat. The main reason is that meat is too expensive, and the cost is too high, so they're afraid no one will buy it.
Aunt Sun said, "You've cooked pig's head meat and bones to sell? It smells so good! The color looks delicious too. How did you make it?"
Qiao Xiaoni glanced at the people who had gathered around her and said, "This is my family's secret recipe for braised pig's head and pork ribs. The price is cheap today because it's our opening day."
Pig's head meat is two yuan per jin (500g), and the bones are cheaper at one yuan per jin. Delicious, inexpensive, and economical!
