Tudan refused directly, "Sister-in-law, this won't do. This melon seed candy is full of sugar, oil, sesame seeds and melon seeds. How much is an egg? If it weren't for the fact that Da Niu is our neighbor, how could I be willing to exchange it so cheaply!"
When Da Niu's mother came to Zhao's house, the fragrance became stronger. How could this little girl Jiaojiao be so good at cooking?
No wonder they can come up with so many foods.
"Besides, this melon seed candy is not sold in the supply and marketing cooperative in our town. It is only available in the county. My sister bought it for me, but it cost several yuan per pound. My sister bought it for me because we had never eaten it before. An egg is only five cents. I bought three eggs for only 15 cents, and I got two melon seed candies in return."
Zhao Jiaojiao looked at Tudan who was talking so eloquently and really felt that it would be a waste of his brain and eloquence if he didn't go into business in the future.
"Second brother, I'll change, I'll change." Da Niu said hurriedly, fearing that Tu Dan would not give him the change.
He knew that the food he exchanged from Tudan would always taste good.
Suddenly, Big Cow's eyes lit up. "Tudan, the New Year is coming soon. Can you exchange a few more pieces?"
The Zhao family raised three chickens, but the Daniu family raised five, which was based on the number of people in the family.
"Three eggs and two yuan, sister-in-law, please exchange it according to this, but only this time."
Melon seeds are not that easy to peel.
Da Niu's mother thought that there were several children at home, and the children of several sisters-in-law also wanted to try it, so she bit the bullet and brought six eggs, and exchanged them for four pieces of melon seed candy. Da Niu enjoyed one piece of melon seed candy alone, and the other three pieces were shared by everyone in Da Niu's family the day before. After eating them, they found that they were really delicious, but also a bit expensive.
Tudan and Zhao Lingling each gave the pastries to the Ling family and Ji Zhiqing and others, letting them try them.
"Sister, several educated youths from the educated youth center have returned home this year." Zhao Lingling knew a lot about the Zhaojia Village Brigade. Although she was small, she was well-informed about gossip.
"Not surprising."
"Wang Zhiqing also went back, but Li Zhiqing and the others did not." Zhao Lingling still had a deep impression on Li Feng.
"Not surprising."
Several of them boldly went to the county factory to sell their products. They did not receive any salary, but they all received commissions. The duck factory also simply reimbursed their travel expenses to the county town.
Some old educated youth didn’t even have the money to travel to the county town.
Some of them have been working in the countryside for four or five years, and their families no longer care about them. After a few years in the countryside, some of them have accepted their fate, while others have not.
As soon as Wang Meili and Accountant Zhao came back, they also tasted the melon seed candy. Zhao Jiaojiao even made winter melon candy, which made Zhao Lingling admire Zhao Jiaojiao even more. She wanted to ask her sister what else she couldn't make. The winter melon candy was so delicious that you couldn't tell it was winter melon at all. It just lacked some sugar.
"Jiaojiao, wait a minute, pack some winter melon candies and send them to your grandparents. Don't say you made them, just say you bought them." Wang Meili knew that her parents-in-law were probably still thinking about their daughter's money.
Zhao Jiaojiao immediately understood what her mother meant.
"Sister, I'll go with you."
Zhao Lingling also wanted to go.
In the end, Tudan followed Zhao Jiaojiao.
"Grandma, Grandpa, is it time for dinner?"
It was really time for dinner at Grandpa Zhao's place. As a whole family, Aunt Zhao's sons had not yet separated.
"Jiaojiao, have you eaten the earthen eggs?" Uncle Zhao thought highly of his niece. Not only was she the first one among their younger generation to get a salary, but she was also very capable now.
