In the morning, just as she and Old Lady Guan entered the kitchen to cook, Qin Xianglian came.
"Xu Zhiqing, have your bean sprouts grown yet? They've already sprouted. I specially heated up our room a little more. I think we'll be able to eat bean sprouts in three or four days."
After Xu Nuannuan woke up, before she had time to check the growth of the bean sprouts in the jar, Qin Xianglian's beans had sprouted, and hers should have sprouted too.
But it is not absolute, there may be unexpected events.
She told Mrs. Guan: "Grandma, light the fire first. Auntie and I will go into the house to take a look."
"Come on, come on."
Xu Nuannuan brought Qin Xianglian into the house, opened the wooden lid of the jar, and found that the white cloth inside had risen a lot. When they lifted the white cloth again, they could see the white bean sprouts and green bean skins.
Xu Nuannuan and Qin Xianglian both widened their eyes in surprise.
Xu Nuannuan didn't expect that the bean sprouts she grew would grow so fast. After just one night of frying, the beans not only sprouted, but the sprouts were two centimeters long.
Qin Xianglian was even more surprised: "Xu Zhiqing, your bean sprouts are growing so fast, and they are growing so well. Look at them, they are fat and strong. Xu Zhiqing, how did you do it? Don't you have any tricks?"
Xu Nuannuan wanted to say that she didn't add anything special to it, but she was afraid that Qin Xianglian would not believe it.
So, she took out a bottle of spiritual spring water and said, "This is the nutrient solution I specially prepared. I poured a little into it. Maybe it's because of this that the bean sprouts are growing so fast."
Qin Xianglian immediately became greedy and reached out to grab it, but Xu Nuannuan stepped back.
"Auntie, this nutrient solution is difficult to prepare. I only have this one bottle."
"Could you give me some? I'll go back and try."
"Your bean sprouts grow slowly. Your family doesn't sell bean sprouts, so why do you let them grow so fast? If they grow up all at once, you won't be able to eat them all."
Having said that, Xu Nuannuan still poured her some. If Qin Xianglian wanted this "nutrient solution" in the future, she would have to buy it from her.
Xu Nuannuan's bean sprouts had grown by the evening. She gave some to Mei Xiangcao and ate some for herself and Old Lady Guan.
Because the bean sprouts grew so fast, the two of them and the Jiang family couldn't finish them all. Her parents were in the hospital and hadn't come back yet, so she wanted to sell some of the bean sprouts to avoid wasting them when they grew old.
After breakfast, Xu Nuannuan put the leftover bean sprouts into a basket. Old Lady Guan carried the basket, and she rode her bicycle with Old Lady Guan to the county town. She found Qin Yuhong there and told Qian Yunhong that she couldn't finish the bean sprouts she had distributed, so she asked if the supply and marketing cooperative would accept them.
Qin Yuhong took a look at the bean sprouts in her basket and her eyes immediately lit up.
Each bean sprout looked plump and white, and very clean, without any rotten or black roots.
"That's all the bean sprouts you have."
"I just eat it myself, I don't give out too much."
"These bean sprouts are quite good, much better than what we sell in store. Besides, they often run out of stock. It would be great if you could have more."
"More?"
This time it was Xu Nuannuan's eyes that lit up.
Isn't this a good opportunity to create wealth for their brigade? If the brigade collectively set up a factory to grow bean sprouts, it would not only supply the supply and marketing cooperative, but also allow the brigade members to earn money. What a great thing!
"How many do you need? We grow bean sprouts very quickly, and we can basically deliver in two days."
"Can you supply three jin first?"
Xu Nuannuan calculated that normally one pound of mung beans can produce eight to ten pounds of bean sprouts. Her one pound of mung beans can produce at least thirteen pounds of bean sprouts, and three pound of bean sprouts only require more than twenty pounds of mung beans.
You only need five or six jars to grow bean sprouts together.
Jiang Ye's family has at least a dozen jars, which is more than enough. We can just ask the team to buy them all.
As for why she didn’t just grow bean sprouts and sell them with the Jiang family?
First, if they continue to do this kind of business in the future, the source of mung beans will be a problem. They cannot buy so many mung beans individually, and they cannot take them directly from the space. The most reasonable method is to purchase them collectively.
Secondly, growing bean sprouts is not a job that requires any special skills. Basically, anyone can learn it once they start. If only she and the Jiang family grow bean sprouts and sell them, it will inevitably arouse the jealousy of other people in the village. Those who originally helped her prevent Qin Wushuang may no longer help her, and may even sabotage them. It is better to tell the whole group about this.
"Three jin is no problem. I'll tell our team leader when I get back, and we'll do it together."
"Okay, that depends on your delivery in two days."
In order to make it more formal, a written contract-like document was specially prepared, which marked the responsibilities of both parties and the issue of compensation for breach of contract.
Xu Nuannuan was not afraid of the compensation. At worst, if the captain didn't do it, she would just do it this time.
When the grandparents and grandchildren returned to the brigade, Xu Nuannuan went to see the brigade leader and told him that the commune wanted them to buy bean sprouts. She suggested that he open a bean sprout room with the brigade members and grow bean sprouts collectively.
