After being abandoned by the educated youth, I became rich in the 80s

Chapter 140 It's really a good sale

Lan Xin hurried down the mountain. After coming out of the back mountain, she did not go home, but walked towards Lao Lan's house.

Her steps were so cheerful and her whole body exuded a happy aura. I could hear her voice before I even entered the yard.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, are you at home?"

While shouting, Lan Xin walked into the yard and saw Lan Qing with his bare chest chopping wood with an axe in the yard. Lan He was sorting out farm tools and sharpening sickles and other things. Several children were playing and laughing under the thatched shed. Old Man Lan was watching them and weaving baskets with dried bamboo strips.

"Mom!" When Yingying Yueyue saw her mother, she immediately called her with stars in her eyes. Lanxin also responded quickly with a smile and performed the mother-daughter greeting task.

"Hey, I'm here. Mom is busy now. You guys play with your brothers and sisters first."

Hearing Lan Xin's voice, Lan Qing put down the axe, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and asked hurriedly.

"What's wrong, Lan Xin? Is there anything wrong?"

Lan He, who was sharpening his sickle, quickly put down his things and asked nervously, "Is there something wrong with the tea egg business?"

Today was the first day that the daughter-in-law of the Lan family went out to sell tea eggs. Lan Qing and his brothers wanted to follow her, but were stopped by Chen Baoni and the others. They said they were afraid that their tall and strong bodies might scare people away and make them unwilling to buy. They also said that they would affect their performance.

So Lan Qing and the others were busy at home, but they were all thinking about the things on Sanqing Mountain.

Now seeing Lan Xin coming back in a hurry, she must be anxious.

Lan Xin didn't keep the secret, she waved her hand and said loudly, "It's a big problem, there are not enough tea eggs to sell!"

The corners of his mouth are as hard to suppress as an AK, full of smiles.

"what!"

Lan Qing, Lan He, even Lan Ze who walked out of the room after hearing the sound, and Old Man Lan under the eaves were all confused.

Lan Qing looked up at the sun and said, "It's only been a short while. We've only been out for less than two hours. How come there isn't enough to sell?"

You know, yesterday the couple were worried about how long it would take to sell out the fifty tea eggs, so how come they are not enough now?

Starting from the time they went out this morning saying they were going to help Lan Xin, minus the time it took to boil the tea eggs, we don’t even know if they took even half an hour to sell them. Isn’t that enough to sell?

Could it be that Lan Xin is obsessed with business and has gone crazy?

"Okay, I'll explain these issues to you slowly later. Now assign the tasks. Two people come to help me wash the eggs, and one person goes to Lan Yi's house to ask my brother-in-law to quickly deliver a thousand eggs." Lan Xin was arranging the tasks in a hurry. There was no time to explain slowly now.

Seeing Lan Xin's serious expression, Lan Qing and the others could only believe it. They also knew that time is money, so they quickly put down their work and arranged the tasks.

Lan He, who has a rough personality, is responsible for running errands to buy eggs, while Lan Qing and Lan Ze help Lan Xin process the eggs.

After the division of labor was completed, several people put their things away, carried a few large wooden trays with them, and then set off in a hurry.

After returning home, Lan Xin instructed the two to take out the remaining 300 eggs and wash them.

Hearing this, Lan Qing and the others' eyes almost popped out, and Lan Xin quickly stretched out her hand to interrupt: "Wait, I know you want to ask, but don't ask yet, wash the eggs first, there is plenty of time when boiling eggs."

They could only keep their words to themselves and follow Lan Xin's instructions to fill the basin with water and take out the eggs to wash them.

"Hurry up and be gentle. Don't break the egg, okay?" Lan Xin reminded him, and her hands moved quickly.

She was seen holding a boar-bristle brush and brushing the egg shells quickly and lightly, making the round eggs even smoother and cleaner. Lan Qing and Lan Ze imitated Lan Xin's movements to wash the eggs, but they had no experience, and their hands were very stiff, for fear that they would accidentally crush the eggs.

After washing the eggs, Lan Xin put them into a big pot, poured water and boiled them.

There are more than 300 eggs, and this big aluminum pot is not enough to cook them, so the small double-handled aluminum pot comes in handy.

Seeing that the eggs were cooking, Lan Qing and the others breathed a sigh of relief and asked Lan Xin to go fetch some well water to make some cold soda.

Well, running water pipes are good in every way, easy and convenient, but now the water pipes are laid exposed on the ground. When exposed to the sun, the water becomes warm. How can you use this warm water to chill soda?

Lan Xin ran to Lao Lan's house and dragged a few more over. The large basin that was used to bathe the baby was filled with well water, with batches of bright orange soda in it, which looked very summery.

After finishing all these, Lan Qing finally had time to worry.

"Lan Xin, we have so many things at once, can we sell them all?" Lan Qing looked worried.

The soda is fine, you can just put it back, but the cooked eggs are not easy to keep, they can’t be eaten overnight.

"Just be at ease and trust your wives. They are the ones who asked me to come back and continue cooking."

The few of them didn't have much free time, and the eggs were cooked in just a few words. It was difficult to crack a large pot, so they poured the eggs out and each person got a pot to crack the cracks.

The seasonings from the morning can still be cooked. The longer they are cooked, the stronger the flavor becomes. Lan Xin then adds some more seasonings and cooks them together.

It was the first time that Lan Qing and the others saw Lan Xin cook tea eggs, and they couldn't help but be amazed at how complicated it was.

"Why are there so many things in it? Star anise, cinnamon... and some I don't even recognize. It's too mixed."

Lan Xin smiled and asked him: "Do you think this tea egg tastes good?"

"This stuff is delicious even when boiled in a belt." Lan Qing swallowed and said as she smelled the remaining scent of the pot of tea eggs from the morning.

"Hahaha……"

To be honest, people in this era don't have so many seasonings when cooking. Sugar and salt are just enough for flavor, and oil is calculated by the drop. I've never seen so many seasonings.

Seeing Lan Xin praising the seasoning like that, it was no wonder that Lan Qing was surprised.

When the batch of tea eggs was almost cooked, Chen Baoni and her friends came back carrying empty baskets.

"You, why are you back?" This scared Lan Qing.

Chen Baoni drank a large bowl of water, then breathed a sigh of relief, a big smile on her face.

"Needless to say, they are all sold out!"

"Are they really sold out?" Lan Qing thought that Lan Xin was exaggerating. How could those more than a hundred eggs be sold out within two hours? Who would have thought that such a short time had passed and the tea eggs were not even cooked yet, but Chen Baoni and the others had already sold out and returned.

"What are you lying to?"

"Lan Xin, are the new tea eggs ready?" Li Xia's eyes were shining. Even though she was dry-mouthed from talking to the customers, she didn't feel tired at all. She wished she could have a batch of tea eggs immediately so that she could continue to sell them in the mountains.

"It's almost done. Sister-in-law, you guys sit down and have a rest first." Lan Xin was embarrassed. Their enthusiastic looks made her seem too inactive.

"Why should I rest? I am full of energy!"

You know, they earned two dollars and fifty cents just from the tea eggs in less than an hour!

Two dollars and fifty cents! With this money, they don’t even have time to rest. They can’t wait to go back to the mountain and continue selling!

"Lan Xin, these tea eggs are really selling well!"
