Chapter 60: It’s good to have soup



Before dawn in the morning, Ye Jin went out in the dark.

As soon as she reached the back mountain, the sun broke through the thick clouds and illuminated the darkness.

Ye Jin walked down the mountain in the morning glow. The sunlight shone on her face, illuminating her youthful and bright face.

Ye Jin went straight to the house in the town. It was still early and the little yellow-haired boy had not brought his brothers here yet.

The carrots and broccoli that she had just taken out of the space still had water droplets on them, and she placed them neatly in the corner.

It’s not a good idea to always use burlap bags to pack things. Hard objects like radishes and peanuts are okay, but broccoli is more precious and cannot be pressed at all.

If you press it even slightly, it will look ugly and you won’t be able to sell it at a good price.

Fortunately, Ye Jin had already asked Xiao Huangmao to get a few carts yesterday, which came in handy today.

Ye Jin had just wiped the chair in the living room and was lying lazily on it with her eyes closed when she heard the chattering sound of the little yellow-haired boy outside.

"Sister, we are here, are you here?"

The little yellow-haired boy spoke in a cheerful voice, and even from a long distance away one could hear the smile in his voice. It seemed that he was quite satisfied with the meal yesterday.

"The door is open, aren't you talking nonsense? Our sister must be here!"

Lao Liu had the loudest voice than anyone else, and his subtle flattery made Ye Jin feel happy.

The two of them took the lead and pushed the door open, and sure enough, they saw Ye Jin hiding in the darkness.

She had a small body and was lazily curled up in the chair. She looked so weak and easy to bully, but I didn't expect that she was actually quite powerful.

"Shh, my sister is asleep, please be quiet."

The little yellow-haired boy took the lead and lowered his tone. He tiptoed back, apparently not intending to disturb Ye Jin's sleep.

"You guys come back here, I'm awake."

Ye Jin suddenly opened his eyes, and the little yellow-haired boy was startled.

"Sister, I didn't wake you up, did I?"

The little yellow-haired boy was a little frightened. Ye Jin felt that he was a little strange now. After all, the man who used to be fearless had become cautious in front of her now. This was quite unacceptable.

"No, come and pack your things."

Ye Jin pointed to the corner, and everyone saw a pile of fresh vegetables there.

"This radish is growing well. Can it be eaten raw?"

Lao Liu walked up carelessly, picked up a radish from the ground, wiped it on his trouser leg, and stuffed it into his mouth.

It’s true, this radish is crispy, sweet and delicious! It doesn’t have the earthy smell of ordinary radishes at all.

"What kind of radish is this? Why is it so delicious!"

Lao Liu was stunned, and the little yellow-haired boy rolled his eyes at him.

"What's the big deal about a radish? Are you so poor that you can't afford radishes?"

"This isn't just any radish. This is a fruit radish that costs two yuan a pound!"

As soon as Ye Jin mentioned the price of the radish, Lao Liu, who had just taken a bite of the radish and was about to swallow it, now found it difficult to swallow.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, these radishes are two yuan a pound? Then if I eat one radish, doesn't that mean I only get one yuan?"

The radishes grown by Ye Jin are big and good, with bright and beautiful colors. Each radish weighs more than half a pound.

"The amount of radishes and broccoli I have here is limited. You ate them in front of me, so that's fine. But if you say you ate them secretly or used my things for other purposes, I know everything."

"But if you work hard under me, you will receive a fixed salary every day, and you will not be short of the rewards you deserve. Sometimes, a person's choice of being a human or a ghost is all in a matter of a thought."

Ye Jin was young, but her words were very mature. Everyone nodded in agreement, and no one looked down on her because of her young age.

This girl is not an ordinary person. It is foolish to judge her by her appearance.

"Well, then, will I be charged for this carrot?"

Lao Liu still remembers this incident. The radish was indeed crispy and sweet when he took his first bite, but it was no longer attractive after he heard the price.

"If you want to deduct it, then deduct it from me!"

Ye Jin didn't want to make things too serious, and Lao Liu almost jumped up with joy.

"I don't want to, I don't want to, I definitely don't want to! Only a fool would be willing to do that!"

As Lao Liu was talking, he took another big bite of the radish. It was really strange. Every vegetable and fruit brought by this young lady was so delicious. No wonder they could be sold at a high price.

"Sister, where do you get these vegetables from? Can we get some to sell as well?"

Lao Liu said this casually while chewing a carrot, and the little yellow-haired boy rolled his eyes at him.

"You're craving meat so soon? It's good enough that you can have some soup with Sister Jin. You can't be too greedy."

After being reminded by the little yellow-haired boy, Lao Liu realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Who would be willing to tell others about such a lucrative business? It was indeed inappropriate for me to speak rashly.

Ye Jin was about to say it was okay, but Lao Liu slapped him hard.

"Look at me, I'm just not satisfied. I deserve a beating!"

"Alright, alright, go away and talk less. No one will think you're dumb if you don't speak."

The little yellow-haired boy pushed Lao Liu aside. When Ye Jin looked up, she saw that half of Lao Liu's face was swollen. It seemed that the slap was indeed very hard.

While a group of people were still talking, the second hip-hop general came rushing over with a few brothers.

"Sister, we're late!"

Not only do both of them have loud voices, they also speak with a bit of a Northeastern accent, and there's always a hint of accent in their voices, which is quite amusing to listen to.

"It's not too late yet. You guys load the broccoli onto the cart. Be gentle. If the broccoli gets damaged, you won't be able to sell it for a good price."

"Don't worry, sister. We will be very careful, even more attentive than we would be to our own children."

"Go away, go away, how old are you? You don't even have a partner, how can you have a child?"

Lao Liu said jokingly, and a group of people loaded the things into the car with laughter.

"Sister, we're going to do business. You can rest in the house for a while and wait for us to come back!"

Having successfully completed two business deals, the little yellow-haired boy is now as energetic as if he had been injected with chicken blood. His eyebrows are raised when he speaks, and he walks with the wind. He directs his brothers to pull the cart out.

There are only a few factories in the town. The work there is stable and the wages are high, so the workers are more willing to spend money.

Otherwise, vegetables that cost two yuan per pound will be looked down upon by poor people no matter how good they are.

Ye Jin closed the door and lay back in the chair.

The hard old-fashioned wooden chair was not very comfortable to sit on, but Ye Jin, who had woken up early, still fell asleep with his head tilted.

I didn't know how long I slept until I heard rapid knocks on the door.

"Sister, sister, it's terrible, something happened to Lao Liu!"

Ye Jin suddenly opened her eyes, she was awakened from her sleepiness, and stood up from the stool.

"What's going on?"

Ye Jin opened the door, his face expressionless, but his heart was tense.
