Chapter 27: Lucky Star
"Clam meat...still frying?"
The clam meat looks big and tender. Just by looking at it, you can tell it will be delicious when cooked.
You have to taste the clams you catch, otherwise you will feel like you're being pawed by a cat and feel extremely uncomfortable.
At this time, he was still concerned about the fried clam meat? Jiang Mixia didn't know whether to say that the son-in-law was heartless or indifferent to money.
But one thing is certain, he is a real foodie!
"Fry, fry, why not fry?" Liu nodded hurriedly.
This river clam was fished out by Song Jingyun, and pearls were found inside the clam, which means that these pearls were all thanks to Song Jingyun.
At present, Song Jingyun is a great contributor to the family. Since he wants to eat clam meat, there is naturally no reason for him to be dissatisfied.
Put the pearls away first, take the wooden basin and clams out, and then clean the clam meat.
In the evening, in addition to stir-fried river clams with green onions, Liu also fried a large plate of eggs and made stir-fried meat with beans.
Even the steamed bread made of two kinds of flour that we usually eat has been replaced with steamed buns made of pure white flour, and the cornmeal porridge has been replaced with soft, glutinous and sweet white rice porridge.
Since Song Jingyun likes to eat, it's only right to make these things as a reward for her.
The clam meat is tender, elastic and smooth, and extremely delicious. Once you take a bite, you can’t stop eating it.
Song Jingyun ate too much for dinner again.
At night, Jiang Youcheng and Liu did not sleep for a long time.
One reason was that the family was happy because they had found a pearl.
The second reason was that he was worried because a pearl was found at home.
I am worried about where to safely put such a valuable item, and how to carry it with me when I go to the county town tomorrow so that it won’t be lost.
The couple discussed for a long time and finally decided to find a piece of cloth, sew it into a small cloth bag with needle and thread, put the pearls in it, and then sew the small cloth bag inside Jiang Youcheng's clothes.
In order to prevent the pearls from accidentally falling out, Liu sewed the stitches extremely densely and even pulled hard several times to make sure that they could not be pulled out. Only then did she tie a knot with confidence and put away the needle and thread.
"It all depends on whether I can sell it for a good price tomorrow." Jiang Youcheng didn't dare to take off his clothes before going to bed at night. Now he was lying on the bed with only his clothes on, covering himself with his hands, and only then did he feel at ease.
"I think, tomorrow you go with Xiaoxia and Jingyun, and I'll stay at home tending the vegetable garden so that no one else can see anything."
Don't show off your wealth.
Especially this kind of unexpected wealth is most likely to cause trouble.
"Okay." Jiang Youcheng nodded, "Let's do as you say."
Then he added, "After we sell it tomorrow, we will have enough money on hand, so we can quickly renovate our house."
Summer is coming soon.
It rains frequently in the summer, and the house is wet for a long time. If it rains heavily, there will be some leaks. If we are unlucky, the bed might get wet.
Now that you have money, you have to make your home more comfortable.
"Okay." Mrs. Liu agreed very much. "Let's buy some more land. Even if we can't farm it, we can rent it out. If we can earn some rent, it will be a long-term thing after all."
"I'll discuss this matter with Xiaoxia and Jingyun later. Most of the money in the family recently was earned by Xiaoxia's ideas, and this pearl was fished up by Jingyun..."
Jiang Youcheng paused while talking, then jumped up.
"What's going on?" Liu was startled and sat up as well.
"It's okay, I just think about these things."
Jiang Youcheng looked at Liu, his tone became very serious, "Do you feel that since Jing Yun came to our family, our luck has been pretty good?"
Liu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "It seems so..."
First, Jiang Mixia’s dementia was cured.
Then he forked fish and sold them for money, and the bamboo basket business at home also made money. He could catch rabbits when he went to cut bamboo, and now he even caught pearls.
"So Jingyun is our family's lucky star."
"Of course not." Jiang Youcheng said seriously, "I think our family has to treat Jing Yun better in the future, so that we can gather blessings."
"That's the case." Liu nodded repeatedly, "Ask Jingyun's opinion on everything. Since he is blessed, then anything he thinks he can do will surely go smoothly."
"Um."
"It's getting late. Go to bed quickly. You have to get up early to go to the county. It will take more than two hours for one trip."
"Go to sleep."
The couple then lay down. ——The next day, the cock crowed twice.
Liu got up early and called Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun, then went into the kitchen to get busy.
Each person's bowl had noodles made from white flour, and there were two poached eggs and two cold cucumbers.
Early in the morning, I feel sleepy and hungry. The clear soup noodles are fragrant and the cucumbers are crisp. I eat a big bowl of them in a daze. My stomach is full and I feel awake.
After eating, Jiang Youcheng took Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun out.
Before leaving, she also picked up many needlework baskets that she had recently made.
Since I'm going to the county town, I might as well take the things with me to sell. The price in the county town is much higher than in the town, so I can make more money.
And it would seem more natural to take this thing to the county town.
He still rode Jiang San’s ox cart.
There is a market in town today, so it's convenient for us.
However, Jiang San's ox cart only went to the town, and after arriving in the town he had to find a car to go to the county town.
Upon learning that Jiang Youcheng's family was going to the county town, Jiang San smacked his lips and said, "You guys are really hardworking. It takes so much effort to sell these things. You must be exhausted from running errands. You won't make much money from them."
It’s a long way to the county town, and even with a ox cart the journey is bumpy. If you’re unlucky and can’t catch the cart, you’ll have to walk.
"Go and give it a try." Jiang Youcheng didn't say much, just smiled innocently.
Seeing this, Jiang San didn't ask any more questions. When collecting the fare, he just wanted three.
He got up early and worked late just to make a few more cents in the county town, but he was embarrassed to charge more.
Jiang Youcheng insisted on giving more money, and in the end he simply threw the money on the board of the ox cart, took Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun and left without looking back.
Jiang San then put it away and drove the ox cart back.
After all, it was too early and those who were going to the market had not yet left. If he ran back this time, he could pull more goods.
As soon as the whip was raised, someone came to stop him, "You can't go, go to Dayangshu Village."
"Walk."
Dayangshu Village is not far from Jiangjia Village, and it is also on the way, so I can earn some extra money by going there.
"I have a lot of stuff, so I want to hire a car. I'll give you ten cents and I won't say anything more. You can deliver it to my doorstep." As the man spoke, he loaded the stuff onto the car.
"Okay." Jiang San agreed readily, with a smile on his face.
Ten cents is not a small amount, and this person is quite generous.
If he could have such good business every day, it would be much easier for him to make money.
But then again, his business during this period was indeed pretty good, and he almost never had an empty truck running back and forth.
My financial luck has been pretty good recently.
Jiang San grinned, raised the whip, and drove the carriage slowly.
Thanks to "坑深似海" for the monthly vote, and thanks to the cute little one for his support~ (End of this chapter)
