"Hurry up and take the wheelbarrow over. Let your sister-in-law go inside and rest first. Mother will go and cook the noodles right away."
Mother Gu said excitedly.
Gu Yunchi let go of Jiang Yiyi, took the wheelbarrow, pushed it to a cool place, poured water for Jiang Yiyi to wash her face and hands, then quickly went into the house and poured her a glass of cold white wine. After Jiang Yiyi finished drinking, he pushed her into the house to rest. He went to the kitchen and saw that Gu's mother had already boiled the water. He took the noodles that had been rolled out earlier and put them into the pot. After they were cooked, he took them out and rinsed them in cold water. He added eggs, tomatoes, diced eggplant, shredded cucumber, and minced garlic, and brought them to Jiang Yiyi.
Jiang Yiyi was indeed hungry. She took a big bite and put it into her mouth, then took out the money from her pocket and put it on the bed.
Most of them were small change, with only one dollar bill.
Gu Yunchi excitedly spread out the money one by one and counted it carefully, as if he was afraid that he would count the money wrong if he was not careful.
Jiang Yiyi wanted to laugh when she saw it. "It was sold out in half an hour today. We can make more tomorrow."
Gu Yunchi nodded frantically, his eyes never leaving the money in his hand. A total of seventeen dollars and forty cents. He sold so much for one dollar!
"Sister-in-law, can I take it over so that mother can count it?"
"Take it."
Gu Yunchi ran to Gu's mother's room like a gust of wind, and waited until Jiang Yiyi finished her bowl of noodles before bringing it back. His eyes were red, obviously because he had been crying.
Knowing that she was excited, Jiang Yiyi pretended not to notice so as not to embarrass her. "I see there aren't many cucumbers left in the garden. I have to go to other farmers to buy some."
"I'll go buy it."
Gu Yunchi put the money on the kang and felt full of strength. She had just calculated with her mother that she had earned fifteen yuan today, which would be four or five yuan a month. She could earn several yuan a day, and in two days her family could become a ten thousand yuan household.
"If anyone asks, just tell the truth."
If you have a vegetable garden at home and still want to buy cucumbers, the villagers will definitely ask about it. Sooner or later they will know about it. It is not good to hide it.
Now Jiang Yiyi is the god in Gu Yunchi's heart. Gu Yunchi listens to whatever she says. He went to the village to buy cucumbers without sleeping.
Jiang Yiyi slept for half an hour. This was a habit she developed before she transmigrated into a book. Regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter, she would take a half-hour nap.
When I woke up, I saw two little girls playing under the shade of a tree in the yard, so I got up and went out.
The two little kids were no longer afraid of her, and they called out in childish voices, "Aunt." "Aunt."
Jiang Yiyi patted their heads and said, "Aunt will take you to buy ice cream."
The two little girls' identical eyes lit up instantly.
Jiang Yiyi held one of the girls' hands each and took them to the village store, where she bought them popsicles and snacks.
This was the first time Jiang Yiyi came to the store to buy something after getting married. The proprietress looked at her a few more times. In her impression, Jiang Yiyi was very quiet and didn't like to deal with the villagers. The villagers were talking about her behind her back because she was a high school student and married to Gu Yunze, and she didn't have to work and could get a few dozen yuan in allowance every month, and she looked down on the villagers.
Noticing the boss lady's measuring gaze, Jiang Yiyi looked back. The boss lady was so scared that she quickly avoided him. She had heard about the incident when Jiang Yiyi went to the Qin family, and she didn't dare to provoke him when she heard that he had a bad temper.
Jiang Yiyi brought her two children back home. Gu Yunchi also came back and bought a basket of cucumbers with flowers on top, which were tender and juicy.
"It's one cent, and I bought ten."
Every villager has a vegetable garden, and all of them grow cucumbers. When they heard that they could make money from selling them, they wanted to sell them all to her. Some people also heard what she bought the cucumbers for. Gu Yunchi said according to what Jiang Yiyi had taught her. The villagers didn't know what cold noodles were, but they knew from the literal meaning that they should be something cool. They asked about the price and were shocked to hear that it was 10 cents per serving.
…
Gu Yunyang ran back from school with Gu Yuncan. Both of them were soaked. After entering the gate, he saw the wheelbarrow in the yard, and saw Jiang Yiyi and Gu Yunchi busy in the kitchen. He ran to Gu's mother's room, closed the door with his backhand, and lowered his voice, "Mom, how much did you sell today?"
Mother Gu's eyebrows relaxed and she smiled, "Seventeen dollars and four cents."
Gu Yunyang quickly calculated in his mind, 0.5 cents per portion, 60 portions would be 18 yuan, and 17.4 yuan would be... He counted on his fingers for a long time before his eyes lit up. He sold 58 portions, which meant that the sister-in-law took all the money back and did not give it to the man.
After feeling uneasy for a while, he finally let go. He slumped in the chair and gasped for breath.
Gu Yuncan ran slower and was out of breath. She went into the house and lay down on the kang. After school, her second brother pulled her back home in one breath, and she was exhausted.
Mother Gu wiped the sweat off the two children and said, "There's nothing going on at home, so don't rush back in the future."
…
After the first trial sale, Jiang Yiyi asked someone to make a portion for the second day. She went to the aluminum factory to sell it, and still prepared one portion for people to try first. The aluminum factory had fewer workers and only had one second-hand worker, but next to it was the iron factory, which also had two second-hand workers, and they would pass by the aluminum factory on their way to and from get off work.
“Liangpi, delicious Liangpi, don’t miss it if you pass by!”
Most of the workers in the aluminum and iron factories were men. When they heard her clear voice, they all looked over. Seeing that it was a pretty girl, they gathered in groups of five or five and were attracted by the cold noodles when they got closer.
Jiang Yiyi handed the prepared chopsticks to the one in the front, "Free tasting, no money required!"
There was such a good thing. The worker at the front didn't care about Jiang Yiyi anymore. He took the chopsticks and tasted it. He tasted it several times. He reluctantly put down the chopsticks after hearing the urging of the worker next to him. He chewed the cold skin in his mouth and swallowed it slowly. "How much is one serving?"
"10 cents."
“It’s too expensive!”
As he spoke, he smacked his lips. It tasted so delicious that if he wasn't thick-skinned, he would have wanted to taste everything in the enamel jar.
"One cent a portion is about right."
Those who had tasted it later also wanted to buy it, and followed suit.
"My family got up at one in the morning and worked until ten o'clock to make these. Add to that the ingredients, and every penny we earned is hard-earned money, so we can't do without it."
"Forget it, we won't buy it."
After saying this, the man seemed to be leaving.
Jiang Yiyi didn't call her. She knew how delicious it was to eat a bowl of cold noodles on a hot day. No one would not want to buy it once they had tasted it. She was the only one who wanted it, so the price would definitely not be reduced.
The man also wanted to bargain, and seeing that Jiang Yiyi didn't call him, he felt embarrassed, but he really wanted to eat, so he took a step back and said, "Two cents, I'll buy two."
Jiang Yiyi smiled and shook her head.
"You're such a jerk in selling things here, do you still want to sell here? Let me tell you, I work in the factory..."
"Big Fatty, what are you doing?"
Hearing the voice, Dapang turned around and replied with a smile, "Brother Liu, I just want to buy two servings of cold noodles, this girl..."
"Brother Liu."
Jiang Yiyi shouted.
