After Chen Daming returned to the village, he hid the 10 taels of silver on hand.
This money was his private money.
Thinking of this, Chen Daming was still a little happy.
He kept thinking that when their family split up in the future, he could take this money and spend it seriously.
After hiding the money, he told his mother everything that happened in Gu Decong's family.
After hearing this, the old lady Liu sighed helplessly, "You can't be blamed for this."
"Daming, when you go to your third sister's house later, you can't tell the truth directly, you still have to hide it. It's better to say more nonsense. By then, their family's things will take a turn for the better, and their family will definitely come out with a large sum of money again..."
Chen Daming knew his mother very well. When he heard this, he immediately understood her intention. After nodding lightly, he carried 50 kilograms of food and ran to his third sister's house.
At this time, Chen Xuanxuan was harvesting vegetables in the house.
It was already May.
The vegetables she planted in the vegetable garden at the beginning of spring were basically ripe.
Cucumber, pumpkin, eggplant..., almost 12 kinds of vegetables, all ripened one after another.
Since these vegetables grew and matured, Chen Xuanxuan has fully improved the family's diet. Especially the cucumber, which can be used as a fruit, a vegetable, and can also satisfy hunger.
Chen Xuanxuan has made smashed cucumbers, pickled cucumbers, and soaked cucumbers.
There are also cucumber shreds and carrot shreds, which Chen Xuanxuan eats every day with her family.
Since her eldest son found black fungus in the mountains a few days ago, Chen Xuanxuan has cooked a big pot of noodles made of mixed grains every morning.
The noodles are mixed with cucumber shreds, carrot shreds, chopped black fungus, and other miscellaneous vegetables. They are especially delicious and healthy.
Chen Daming came over this afternoon.
As soon as Chen Xuanxuan saw him, he immediately went to greet him.
"Brother, you are finally back..."
Chen Daming smiled and nodded. After giving her all the food he brought, he told her something.
"Third sister, it's been several days. Your husband and your father-in-law should have finished eating all the things I gave them."
"After I finish explaining things here, I have to send them something quickly, otherwise, their bodies won't be able to bear it."
Chen Xuanxuan saw that her eldest brother was so concerned about her family. She thought about it and called him into the house.
"Brother, I have developed a new food at home recently. Can you help me try it? And can you help me see if it can be sold? If it can be sold, you can help me sell it, okay? We will split the money 50-50..." When
Chen Daming heard his third sister say that she had developed a new food, he immediately felt very curious.
"What food?"
Under Chen Daming's expectant gaze, Chen Xuanxuan brought out all the things she had prepared before.
This was a big jar of pickled vegetables. This was
the pickled cucumber that she had been eating every day recently.
The cucumber water used to soak the cucumber was sour. Cucumbers are particularly appetizing.
Sometimes, as long as she smelled the sour taste of cucumber, her mouth would automatically secrete saliva.
As soon as Chen Xuanxuan opened the lid, Chen Daming immediately smelled the sour fragrance.
This pickled cucumber is sour and fragrant.
After Chen Daming swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he asked directly, "What is this?"
Chen Xuanxuan replied with a smile, "Brother, I made the pickled cucumber myself."
"This thing is particularly durable, and it is also particularly delicious and appetizing. How about you try it?"
As she said, Chen Xuanxuan picked up half a pickled cucumber for Chen Daming.
Smelling the sour taste, Chen Daming thought about it and opened his mouth wide and took a small bite.
With just a small bite, he could feel the sour taste of the pickled cucumber, which made him shiver all of a sudden.
This thing is really appetizing.
After taking a bite, he wanted to eat another bite.
Seeing him eat the cucumber bite by bite, Chen Xuanxuan couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what do you think of this cucumber? Is it delicious? Can it be sold?"
Chen Daming nodded, "It's okay, I think it's okay. It's not bad to eat with porridge. But I've never eaten it before, nor have I seen it. By the way, where did you get this cucumber? It seems that no one has ever grown this here..."
Hearing this, Chen Xuanxuan suddenly realized that no one has ever grown cucumbers in this place. So, Chen Xuanxuan laughed foolishly and said, "Where else could this come from?"
"It's a wild fruit I picked on the mountain. I thought it tasted good, so I transplanted it into my house. Look, it's only been a few months since I planted it in the spring, and they've grown into this shape..."
Knowing that this was grown by Chen Xuanxuan, Chen Daming thought about it and didn't ask her for seeds.
Because he was thinking that since she made this thing into pickled cucumbers, it was her family's unique sound so far.
If he took the cucumber seeds to his own house and planted them, next year or the year after, his third sister would no longer be able to do the pickled cucumber business.
Thinking of this, Chen Daming said very readily, "Third sister, this business is worth doing."
"And if you want to do it, we have to do it quickly. The cucumbers are big, so we cut them into dices. Sell them in bowls. A bowl of cucumber dices costs two cents. There will definitely be many people in the county who will buy them!"
Hearing Chen Daming say this, Chen Xuanxuan was very happy.
Because she planted a lot of cucumbers in the spring. She sowed 100 cucumber seeds alone. There are cucumber vines everywhere behind her house. The cucumber vines are full of cucumbers.
Thinking of her family, they eat cucumbers every day. Before they finished eating, Chen Xuanxuan washed three cucumbers for Chen Daming and asked him to eat.
Chen Daming ate the fragrant and refreshing cucumber while chatting with his third sister.
After telling her about Gu Decong's family affairs, Chen Daming couldn't help but remind her, "Captain Huang said that his family's affairs are a mess. If they come to your house again in the future, don't agree to it. If you can delay it, delay it. If you can't delay it, just push it all to me. But don't let our mother know..."
