The bean sprouts that Xu Zhiyi piled in the wooden boxes in the kitchen were white and tender, and pleasing to the eye.
The baby in Pei Yan's woodshed was secretly induced by Xu Zhiyi when she went to his house. Both babies are growing well.
The two families were similar, so no one noticed anything wrong.
After Fang Yingzi brought some back and fried them for her to eat last time, Fang Hai really started to like eating bean sprouts.
Well, there are not many vegetables in winter, so it would be great to eat something fresh.
Seeing that Pei Yan's bean sprouts were growing so well, Fang Hai was definitely confident that they could be sold.
It looks good and tastes good, and the most important thing is that they have no competitors, they are the only ones selling it.
After the discussion, Xu Zhiyi also went to sell bean sprouts this time.
I haven't been to the city for a long time, so I decided to take a stroll along the way.
Now we just have to wait until the bean sprouts are picked, bundle them into packages of one pound each, and then sell them directly like this.
One jin is not a lot, and there are many people living in a city family, with as few as three or four people and as many as ten people living together.
This pound of bean sprouts will probably be gone in just one meal.
The scale used for weighing is a beam balance made of wood. It has a standard scale reference line and weight scale line, with a scale pan and weight hanging in front. Put the bean sprouts in the scale pan and move the line with the weight to the one-pound position.
Keep putting bean sprouts into the scale pan until the scale bar is balanced, which is one kilogram.
When Xu Zhiyi asked Fang Hai to weigh the food, he added a little more bean sprouts, making it more than one jin. This way, even if there was some loss on the way, the weight would still not be reduced.
Even though we are selling things secretly, we still need to be trustworthy, as this is not just a one-time transaction.
If it sells well, it can be sold until the Chinese New Year.
Pei Yan went to the village chief to borrow a bicycle, and Fang Hai brought two baskets of bean sprouts.
Pei Yan had two baskets of bean sprouts on the back of his bicycle, so he could only let Xu Zhiyi sit on the front bicycle beam.
Pei Yan was worried that the road would be uneven and it would be uncomfortable to sit in the front, so he sewed a cushion with old clothes on the beam of the car so that it would be softer to sit on.
Xu Zhiyi originally wanted to say that it would be perfectly fine for him to walk there, and his speed might even be comparable to theirs riding bicycles.
But seeing Pei Yan's thoughtful behavior, Xu Zhiyi still didn't say it out loud.
The next morning, when it was still dawn, Pei Yan made some egg pancakes. The three of them ate them before setting off.
Although this is not the first time I have done business secretly, this is the first time I have sold this thing, and I don’t know if people in the city like it.
Fang Hai had some ideas in his mind.
But when he saw Pei Yan and Xu Zhiyi, each calmer than the other, he felt relieved.
When they arrived in the city, the three of them went to their house in the city and put their bicycles away first.
For safety reasons, they all disguised themselves so that even an acquaintance would not recognize them.
Especially Xu Zhiyi, who completely transformed from a beautiful and fair-skinned city girl into a sallow-skinned country girl from the countryside.
And he speaks with a country accent.
"Oh my god, who would recognize Xu Zhiyi if she walked out? She looks like a completely different person."
Fang Hai was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
If I hadn't seen Xu Zhiyi enter the room with my own eyes, I would have thought it was someone else coming out.
Guys, in the previous life before the end of the world, all the little girls were good at putting on makeup.
A simple head transplant couldn't be simpler.
"Brother Yan, if Xu Zhiqing suddenly changed his appearance, would you be able to recognize him?" Fang Hai smiled with some ill intention.
Xu Zhiyi also stared at Pei Yan, seeming very curious about how he would answer.
Pei Yan replied calmly, "I don't need to look at her face, I can feel it's her."
Pei Yan's answer was somewhat unexpected. Fang Hai scratched his head, looking puzzled.
Xu Zhiyi smiled and glanced at him. That look was somewhat meaningful, which made Pei Yan feel relieved.
Fang Kai had no idea what these two were talking about.
Is this the secret code between the two?
Fang Hai said that after he finds a partner, he will set up a secret code so that others cannot figure it out.
The three of them acted separately.
We walked towards the residential building tacitly. Most of the residents in the residential building on the east side were families of factory workers.
For families with one or two workers, given their family conditions, these are the people who are willing to spend money.
Xu Zhiyi saw an aunt coming towards him, carrying a basket covered with a cloth, but she couldn't see clearly what was inside.
But there was a look of sadness on his face, and he looked at the basket from time to time, as if he was regretting something.
"Auntie, I have some fresh vegetables here. Would you like some?" Xu Zhiyi approached her and said in a low voice.
The aunt first looked around vigilantly, and when she didn't see anyone else, she dared to talk.
"What is it?"
Xu Zhiyi lifted the cloth halfway, revealing the bean sprouts so that she could see what they were.
"These are sprouts. I picked them last night. They're so fresh."
Xu Zhiyi changed the name of Douya so that others wouldn't make any assumptions just by hearing the name.
Even by the time someone figures it out, they’ll have sold most of it.
"Is it edible?" The aunt walked forward and picked one out. After all, she had never seen it before, so she was still a little skeptical.
"It's edible, Auntie. Don't worry, my family spent a lot of effort growing it, and everyone in my family loves it."
"Look at these sprouts, they're so crispy and delicious whether stir-fried or boiled. They're also nutritious and easy to digest, so both the elderly and children can eat more."
After Xu Zhiyi said this, the aunt was a little tempted, but she couldn't make a decision.
"How do you sell these?" The sprouts in the aunt's hand were indeed as Xu Zhiyi said, fresh and crisp.
"Auntie, it's 1.5 cents a pound. It's hard to grow them in winter. There aren't many, so take some home and try them. If you like them, I'll bring you more next time."
"This is too expensive. Can you make it cheaper?" The aunt looked conflicted when she heard the price was really high.
"Auntie, I just met you when I arrived, so I'll consider it as you opening a shop for me. If you buy more than three pounds, I'll charge you ten cents per pound."
Xu Zhiyi pretended to be very reluctant and gave her a discount, and the aunt was somewhat tempted.
"I don't know what this is. I've never eaten it before..." The aunt was still worried about whether she could eat it.
"Auntie, I'm not lying. If this makes others sick, it won't be good for me either. If it weren't for my grandmother's poor health, I wouldn't..."
Xu Zhiyi said pitifully.
There are still a lot of enthusiastic people these days, so it is inevitable that this aunt finds it difficult to refuse.
"Girl, how about this? My home is not far from here. Come back with me and tell me how to make this thing. I'll make it and try it first, okay? If it's really good, I'll buy everything in your basket."
The aunt is a kind and good person.
"Okay, Auntie, I'll go with you. But I'm not a very good cook. I'll tell you how to make it, and you can do the cooking, okay?"
After saying this, Xu Zhiyi's sallow face still felt a little embarrassed.
