Since learning that her daughter had that kind of space, she no longer needed to prepare anything.
When I got home, a basket of sweet potatoes appeared out of nowhere in the kitchen.
She glanced back at her smiling daughter and shook her head helplessly.
The plot of land allocated to their small family by the Song family was tiny, just a small patch of land. She planted some common vegetables, but didn't plant sweet potatoes.
The villagers who grow sweet potatoes have been digging them up recently.
He picked up the plump sweet potatoes and put them in the water vat, then covered it.
When she turned around, the basket was gone.
If someone had a heart condition, they would have been terrified, but thankfully she has a strong mentality.
The pigs and chickens at home have also had an endless supply of sweet potato vines lately.
The next morning, before dawn, Fang Jie got up to make breakfast for the family. She picked a basin of sweet potatoes, washed them, and steamed them, adding 10 eggs on top to steam together.
When Song Yaohui and Song Yaohua saw the sweet potatoes and eggs on the table, they couldn't hide their smiles.
Fang Min and Ye Fangxuan each held a large sweet potato and ate it heartily.
Ye Fangxuan likes to eat eggs. She peels the shell off in a few quick steps and eats it in two big bites.
Song Yaohua ate an egg, found it delicious, and then ate another one. When he was eating his third egg, Fang Jie slapped his hand.
"That's enough, stop eating. You'll get indigestion if you eat too much."
Song Yaohua finally gave up and picked up a large sweet potato to eat.
Fang Jie wanted to find a smaller size for her daughter, as a larger size would be too much for her to eat, and besides, it wouldn't be easy for her to digest a large amount.
As it turned out, these sweet potatoes were all too big, so she picked up a large one, broke it in half, and handed one half to Song Fanxing, saying, "Xingxing, eat this."
Song Fanxing took it and happily began to eat.
After finishing the meal, I ate another egg, and then I stopped eating because I was full.
These sweet potatoes are not only large, but also soft, sweet, and very sugary; they're sticky to the touch.
The family had never eaten such delicious sweet potatoes before. Except for Song Fanxing, everyone ate quite a lot. Even Ye Fangxuan ate one and three eggs.
As she ate her third egg, Fang Jie reminded her, "Fangxuan, eating too many eggs is hard to digest."
Ye Fangxuan ignored her and ate with great relish.
Fang Min: "Sis, let her eat if she likes it. Are you worried she'll eat your family out of house and home?"
Fang Jie was speechless. This person couldn't tell right from wrong. If she were really afraid they would eat her family out of house and home, she wouldn't have let them stay for so long.
After breakfast, Fang Jie picked up three sweet potatoes, wrapped them in a cloth, and prepared to take them to the county town so she and her daughter could eat something simple when they got hungry.
The rest was saved for my two sons to eat after school.
After Song Yaohui and Song Yaohua went to school, Fang Jie also took Song Fanxing out.
Ye Fangxuan looked at the mother and daughter with envy. She had overheard them saying they were going to the county town, and she longed to go too.
But her cousin was too scary, so she didn't dare to go near her.
With a sigh, she climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and lay down with Fang Min.
I get sleepy after eating too much, and lately I feel like even walking is difficult, so I'd rather not walk and just lie down.
Fang Jie and Song Fanxing took an oxcart from the village to the town, and then took a bus from the town to the county seat.
This time, they went directly to the black market because Song Fanxing already knew the price of eggs. Last time when they sold their mountain produce, there was an egg vendor right next to them, selling eggs for 4 cents each.
She hadn't asked about the supply and marketing cooperative, but it was probably about the same, and they would also need a ration coupon.
She plans to sell them for 5 cents each.
Fang Jie knew she was going to sell them for 5 cents. Although she thought it was a bit expensive, she knew that the eggs in her daughter's space were of good quality and large, worth 5 cents each.
Finding a deserted alley, Song Fanxing took out two baskets of eggs.
Fang Jie exclaimed excitedly, "How much would this cost?"
Song Fanxing roughly estimated that he could earn 20 to 30 yuan if he sold both baskets of eggs.
Fang Jie picked up two baskets of eggs and found a spot to squat down.
Eggs are the most sought-after item on the black market.
As soon as they set off, a large group of people surrounded them.
A woman asked, "How much are the eggs?"
Fang Jie replied firmly, "5 cents each."
The woman frowned. "Everyone else scores 4 points, why are you selling it for 5?"
When questioned by the woman, Fang Jie was momentarily speechless.
Song Fanxing: "Auntie, my eggs are big! It's definitely more cost-effective to buy them by weight. Just pick one up and weigh it yourself. Besides, my eggs are especially delicious, suitable for all kinds of cooking, nutritious, and good for your skin. I guarantee you'll want to come back for more after you try them."
Women found Song Fanxing's eloquence and charming personality extremely endearing.
"You're quite the businesswoman, young lady."
She picked up an egg and instantly knew that the girl wasn't lying; her eggs were indeed large and heavy, and selling them for 5 cents was reasonable.
"Okay, pick 20 for me and put them in my basket."
Fang Jie immediately snapped out of her daze and quickly filled the woman's bowl with eggs.
Then someone else shouted, "Give me 20 too!"
"I want 10."
"I want 30."
...
"I want 50."
Fang Jie was too busy to pick them all up, so Song Fanxing helped her.
Some customers were worried that she wouldn't be able to count and would pick the wrong item, so they kept a close eye on her the whole time. As a result, they found that the little girl counted correctly every time.
Several groups of people passed by, and a whole basket of eggs was gone.
A man selling eggs walked over from a distance and scanned their faces.
"Did your own chickens lay these eggs?"
Fang Jie: "Mmm."
"How come your chickens lay such big eggs?"
Not only are they large, but they are also uniformly sized, unlike their eggs, some of which are huge, while others are only the size of quail eggs. The smaller ones don't fetch a good price and can only be kept for their own consumption.
Fang Jie casually remarked, "My chickens roam all over the mountain, eat well, grow up healthy, have never been sick, and can lay eggs."
