Chapter 11, Add Something
The sweat vegetable is blood red when it is cooked, and it tastes a bit slippery and has a particularly good taste. Most people like to eat this kind of vegetable, and it has no peculiar smell.
The green leaves are tender and have red patterns on them, which is very pleasing to the eye.
People like Mr. Zhu who have been doing business for a long time definitely don’t grow vegetables at home.
As soon as Mei Xue's dishes were put out, they were noticed by the surrounding vendors.
Especially corn. After the pig boss lady bought some, the owner of the chicken and duck shop opposite her also came over.
"Little girl, how much do you sell these vegetables for?" He hasn't eaten such delicious vegetables for a long time since he started his business.
My mother used to farm a little, but now that she is old, she moved to the town with them. There is no place for her to farm anymore, and we have to buy vegetables from outside.
When they finish their business and then go to buy vegetables, those vegetables are what others have left over, how can they be fresh?
"Boss, what do you like? I picked these vegetables this morning. Look, they are still very fresh and tender." Mei Xue immediately started praising her own vegetables.
"As for corn, it's 30 cents per pound, according to my eldest sister's price. This is early corn, and each kernel is full and full of pulp. It's sweet and perfect for both the elderly and children."
"The peppers we choose are all freshly ripe. Not only are they tender, but they also don't have a green taste. They're also not expensive, 8 cents."
"For eggplant, let's count it as one cent."
"Hancai is cheaper. Give it five cents. It's cheaper than chili peppers."
Mei Xue's quotes were all calculated by Grandma He herself, based on a price she set when she casually asked the last time she came to town to go shopping.
At that time, Mei Xue couldn't understand why her grandmother only asked but didn't buy. Now it seems that her grandmother might have made up her mind a long time ago.
When the chicken shop owner heard this, he thought that the price was indeed not expensive and was about the same price as what his wife paid for the leftovers.
"Okay, give me some of each. There are many people in my family, so don't sell the corn, give it all to me. We eat all the peppers at home, so give me three pounds. Eggplants are tender, so give me four or five."
The chicken boss broke an eggplant in half, took a light bite, and tried the taste. It was indeed good.
It is sweat vegetable. This thing is good and can replenish blood. It is perfect for the elderly and children.
"Give me more sweat vegetables. The weather is good and they can be kept for a day or two. Give me half."
The chicken boss is a big customer, and Mei Xue is very good at hands-on work. When the chicken boss spoke, she started to help him move the dishes aside.
Now is a good time to weigh him.
"The corn weighs 17.3 jin. Count it as 17 jin for the boss." After saying that, Mei Xue put the corn into the empty basket, then picked up the eggplants, first taking four, then looked at the scale and took another one.
"The eggplant weighs three pounds and thirty-two ounces, so three pounds is counted as yours, boss." Mei Xue also imitated the pig boss and lifted the scale.
"Five pounds of chili peppers and three pounds of sweat vegetables." After weighing all the vegetables and showing them to the chicken owner, Mei Xue began to calculate the money.
Seeing the chicken shop owner nod, Mei Xue smiled and said the price of the dishes, "A total of five dollars and ninety-five cents." So many things for only five dollars, Mei Xue's heart was bleeding.
According to her, these are priceless treasures.
The chicken owner also frowned, but didn't say much, "Okay, I'll go back and get the money for you."
Mei Xue was also a smart person. After hearing what the chicken owner said, she also picked up a basket and said, "Then I'll send it back to you, boss."
Even if the distance is not far, the service must be adequate.
Sure enough, the chicken boss smiled and said, "Okay."
Arriving at his stall, he called out to the people inside, "Yuelan, come out and pay for the vegetables."
A woman who was plucking a chicken soon came out of the house. There was some blood on her body. It seemed that she was killing a chicken or trimming a chicken or duck.
"What's wrong? Where did you go to buy vegetables at this time?" the woman asked as she came out.
The chicken owner also patiently explained to his wife.
When the lady boss heard this, she said, "That's a good feeling. Let me take a look."
When she saw the juicy vegetables in the basket, she was delighted and said, "We have corn at this time. Not bad. I'll give you some money."
After saying that, he took out money from his pocket.
He handed the five-dollar bills to Mei Xue one by one, "Thank you, little girl."
Business people are probably used to smiling at people. Mei Xue took out five cents from her pocket and gave it to the chicken shop owner. "You're welcome, auntie. Where do you want to put it? I'll take it in for you."
"No, no, just leave it here and I'll take it in later." Aunt Ji stopped him politely.
However, Mei Xue didn't really intend to go in. After all, that was someone else's home, so how could she really go in?
"Okay, then I'll leave it here for you, Auntie."
In just a short period of time, half and two-thirds of Mei Xue's vegetables were sold. It was really a happy thing.
There are many stalls around. Mei Xue plans to wait for a while. If no one comes to buy, she will go to those stalls and sell the vegetables.
It was so hard to get out and about by herself, so she had to go take a look around.
Many people come here to buy meat and other non-vegetarian dishes.
When everyone saw Mei Xue's small vegetable stall, they thought the vegetables were very delicious. This one weighed one kilogram, that one weighed two kilograms, and soon the last bit of vegetables were sold out.
Mei Xue estimated the time and found that it was only more than an hour, which made her happy.
After selling all the items, Mei Xue counted the money and found that she had made about seven or eight yuan in total.
This made her think of her big bucket of eels that cost thirty yuan. Wow, life is not easy these days.
"Thank you, boss. I have sold all my vegetables." Mei Xue was packing up her stall and thanking the pig boss and chicken boss who had bought her vegetables at the beginning.
The pig boss smiled and nodded as a response. There were other people in front of his stall.
As there were few people at the chicken boss's place, he shouted to Banxue, "Big sister, next time you come to sell vegetables, please send some vegetables to my house. We are too busy every day to go out and buy them."
"That's great. I'll come here to sell at the next big market." Mei Xue responded with a smile.
Carrying two empty baskets, Mei Xue walked towards Aunt Meilian.
I don’t know how Aunt Meilian’s sales are doing.
Mei Xueke didn't expect that her vegetables would be sold out soon after the rain stopped. It must be said that the people in the town are really rich. It's nothing like in the village where every household eats what they grow.
Walking all the way to the vegetable market, Mei Xue stopped when she saw the supply and marketing cooperative.
When I thought about going out early today, there was only a straw raincoat at home, not even an umbrella. They were all straw hats made by the elderly in the village, each of which could be used for many years.
There are many bamboos on the mountain. You can bring a few back and make a bamboo hat in a few days.
Things like the stools in our home and the bamboo beds we use to sleep outside in the summer were all made by our family.
I have to say that everyone in the village is an expert.
