Chapter 91, Leaving
After Grandma He finished chatting with Grandma Jinghua, Meixue helped Grandma Jinghua catch the chicks and take them back later.
Mei Xue didn't know how they made the transaction, but Grandma Jinghua asked them to take the chicks away.
On the way back, Mei Xue asked curiously, "Grandma, did you give money to Grandma Jinghua?" With so many chickens, I can't owe them a favor.
"Haha, I gave it to you. Five cents for each egg. But the dead eggs are also ours." I didn't expect that so many of them could survive.
"Then can Grandma Jinghua hatch more chicks?" Mei Xue was happy. "Anyway, the chicken coop has been repaired. It's so big that we can raise more chickens."
Seeing Xiaomei like this, Grandma He was very happy. "Of course you can. I told her a long time ago. But you have to wait. She has two hens sitting on brood. She has to keep one brood for herself and one for me. Together with the ones from your Aunt Lanhua's brood, there are dozens of them now."
She had never fed so many chickens before.
Rural people attach great importance to poultry. If they raise too many, they are afraid that they will die. If they raise too few, there will not be enough to sell or eat. Therefore, they always bring them home first, and if others want them, they have to place an order first.
Most of the annual income depends on this.
Mei Xue was very happy when she heard that her grandmother had placed another order. "It's not much. If possible, we can raise more. We have a lot of vegetable plots today, and some of them are rotten vegetables to feed chickens."
"Yes, Xiaoxue, you are really hardworking." Grandma He was becoming more and more satisfied with Xiaoxue. "But it would be very tiring to raise too many. Didn't you say you wanted to catch two more piglets?"
"Yes, the pigpen is empty, and it would be a waste if we don't catch the piglets and raise them." We can eat the meat and sell it for money, killing two birds with one stone.
"Grandma is worried that you will get tired. Grandma is old and I am afraid that I can't help you."
"It's okay. I can do this work by myself. Grandma, you just need to have more rest. Didn't you say you wanted to enjoy my blessing? I will definitely let you enjoy it." Mei Xue said seriously.
"Yes, yes, yes, grandma is enjoying herself." She really is enjoying herself. After Xiaoxue came home, she was the one doing most of the work in the fields.
She is just enjoying herself.
This is something that others can't envy.
After returning home, Mei Xue put the chicks in the room next to the pigpen. After the chicken coop was repaired, Mei Xue drove the older chicks out.
Now they are active in the yard.
The chicks were a little uncomfortable with the unfamiliar environment, but it didn’t matter, because Mei Xue had prepared a big meal for them, which was the spiritual spring water.
The rice was soaked in spiritual spring water, and some water was dripped into the water they drank. It could be said to be a very luxurious meal.
The animal instinct was that the spiritual spring water was too tempting for them, so they quickly abandoned the discomfort.
They gathered around the rice that Mei Xue had placed on the ground and ate it, grabbing it happily.
"Grandma, look! They love our home so much." When Mei Xue saw them eating, she immediately called her grandma happily.
Grandma He was standing right next to them, how could she not see it? “Well, as long as they like it, that’s good enough.” If the chicks couldn’t adapt to such an environment, they would surely die. Now it’s okay, there’s nothing to worry about.
"Grandma, do you think they can eat the leaves?" There are quite a few old leaves on the water spinach, and if they are edible, she will pick them.
Unexpectedly, Grandma He shook her head and said, "Not yet. We have to wait until they are a little bigger. Otherwise, they will get diarrhea easily and die by then."
After hearing that they couldn’t be eaten, Mei Xue didn’t say anything more and just waited until they grew bigger.
This home is one step closer to Mei Xue’s dream home and the life she wants. She is just waiting for the day when her dream comes true.
And now, she still has a lot of things to do, but there is no rush, just take it slow.
If nothing unexpected happens next year, Mei Xue plans to renovate her yard. At the very least, she wants to turn the fence into a wall. A fence made of bamboo is somewhat inconvenient.
Everything in the house was seen by others.
There is also a slippery path outside the fence that needs to be repaired. Anyway, I'll give myself a satisfactory home first.
She liked the wooden house very much and had no intention of changing it, but the outer walls had to be made stronger.
Otherwise she would not feel safe at all.
The chicks returned home. Mei Xue calculated the time. She had to pick the celery at home, otherwise it would get old. "Grandma, do you think Boss Zhao and the others will come?" There were not many vegetables this time.
"An Ze knows what's going on. Wait two days. If they don't come, we can just take the goods to sell during the big market." Grandma He was also a little unsure.
Unfortunately, they all underestimated the vegetables that Mei Xue grew using the spiritual spring water.
The taste may not be very appealing to others, they just think it tastes a little better.
But for old diners like Boss Zhao, they know how rare such dishes are after just one taste, so they will come for it even if there is very little.
As for the Zhao family, because of Boss Zhao, the family had already discussed everything and had great confidence in Mei Xue's dishes.
The one who is most promising among them is Qian Zeyang. Business is becoming increasingly difficult nowadays, and customers are becoming more and more picky.
He was able to keep the store open and really got a bargain on the renovation.
However, as more and more businesses are being done, everyone has consciously begun to pay attention to the environment.
Maybe the town hasn’t changed much, but the city is different.
Just recently, a new restaurant opened not far from Qian Zeyang's home, and its decoration was no worse than his.
Obviously it took away a lot of his business.
Fortunately, his father sent him some plum wine at this time, which won back some customers. However, this wine was not supplied for a long time, and he was afraid that once the wine was sold out, the business would drop again.
So, they have been counting the days and waiting for Aunt He’s vegetables to be cooked.
They would be willing to do it even if the price is a little higher.
As soon as He Anze arrived in the county town, the first thing he did was to do things for his wife.
After finding Boss Zhao's restaurant, he directly stated his purpose.
Fortunately, the store is not big and Boss Zhao is the only one guarding it, otherwise he might not be able to run into He Anze.
"Are you looking for me? May I ask who you are?" These days, he and his son were counting the money for the family's wine. It had been a month, and he didn't know if Aunt He's food was ready yet.
When He Anze saw that Boss Zhao's eyes were clear, he felt relieved.
"Hello, Boss Zhao. I am Mei Xue's man and Grandma He's grandson." He Anze did not hide anything and revealed his identity first.
When Boss Zhao heard this, he laughed, "Haha, it's you. I heard Aunt He talk about you, but aren't you still out of town?" After that, Boss Zhao took He Anze to a table nearby and sat down.
"I'm back. I'm rushing back to celebrate the festival."
"That's great. I've been busy here during the Mid-Autumn Festival and haven't had time to pay my respects to Aunt He. You have to bring the gift back for me when you go back later, otherwise Aunt He will scold me."
To put it this way, Boss Zhao is just trying to build relationships.
