Chapter 124: Limited to 1 per person
Other people's shops always have the best business in the first few days of opening.
But Jiang’s snack shop is getting better day by day.
The hottest period has passed.
The sun is setting slightly.
The Jiang family’s ox cart appeared on the country road on the way home.
There are mountains on the left and villages and fields on the right.
Jiang Fubao sat in his grandmother's arms, looking at the dried-up ditch.
Originally there was a stream here.
As she passed by, she saw many small fish swimming in it.
Now that the stream is gone, the little fish are probably dead too.
But it never rained.
The sun scorches the land every day.
Show no mercy.
When the ox cart arrived at the village entrance.
Jiang Fubao saw a group of old women sitting under a big tree.
They were holding palm-leaf fans, chatting and laughing.
The moment the ox cart appeared, everyone's eyes turned to the Jiang family.
"What do you think the Jiang Zhang family is doing in town every day?"
"I don't know, but does this ox cart really belong to her relatives from her mother's side?"
"Where else could it be from if not her mother's family? This bull is very strong, and you can't buy it without fifteen taels of silver. How can the Jiang family be so rich? I don't believe it."
"A few days ago, her family bought a basket of green beans from me. I guess they haven't sold them all yet. They are so idle. They can't make much money running around. And Ma Chunxia, she usually sits under the tree and chats with us. Today, I went to her house and she didn't come even after calling her for a long time. You don't know that her yard is full of bamboos."
"Bamboo? What do you need it for? To make bamboo chopsticks or bamboo tubes? There are only a few people in the family. They don't feel tired from cutting so much. Why do these people have problems in their brains? We should just have less contact with them."
The bullock cart left.
The woman under the tree was chatting louder and louder.
The topics all revolved around Zhang Jinlan and Ma Chunxia.
But the person involved doesn't know it.
"Hey, Sister Jinlan, you're back? As soon as I heard the sound of the oxcart, I knew it was you. My family has made another hundred bamboo tubes. I'll send them to you after you finish dinner."
Ma Chunxia stood at the door of her house.
Said to Zhang Jinlan.
She had dark circles under her eyes, but she looked very excited.
It's really against the law.
Jiang Fubao took a look inside.
Jiang Liwen and Jiang Liwu were seen sitting on the bench grinding bamboo tubes with a look of dejection.
The two of them were like robots, with their eyes half-closed and their hands moving in unison.
"No rush, you can just send it tomorrow morning. I'm going home first, you go ahead."
The ox cart did not stop, and Zhang Jinlan's voice drifted away.
Until it stopped at the doorstep.
"Old man, why are you so sad?"
As soon as he entered the house, Jiang Fubao saw his grandfather sitting in a chair and sighing.
Grandma asked loudly.
"The fields are very dry, and the sun is getting hotter and hotter. I see that the crops are growing too slowly. Even brown rice, no matter how drought-resistant it is, cannot withstand such sun exposure. There has been no rain at all, and the water level in the river has reached calf height. If this continues, I'm afraid that not only will the crops in our village die of thirst, but people will also have no water to drink."
Jiang Shoujia frowned in worry.
"It's no use worrying about this. We can only have children if God wants us to. Let's live one day at a time. If things don't work, we can spend money to dig a well. I remember there are mountain springs and groundwater in the inner circle. We can always find a way to survive."
Since her family opened a shop, Zhang Jinlan has become much more optimistic.
Even if the crops die of thirst, it’s okay. At worst, the family can just take the money and flee to the southernmost part of the country.
Adults’ sorrow comes quickly and goes away quickly.
After dinner.
Jiang Fubao sat in the yard thinking about a problem.
Since the water and electricity in the space can be used normally.
Could she bring the tap water outside?
Just do it.
At night, while everyone in the family was asleep, she went to the water tank outside the kitchen.
Not a drop of water flows out of the pipe that carries the mountain spring water.
The water used at home now is all carried from the river.
Jiang Fubao stretched out a hand.
Aim at the tank.
Then he stared at the kitchen faucet.
next second.
A magical thing happened.
The kitchen faucet turned on by itself, and water flowed into Jiang Fubao's palm.
Soon the water tank was filled.
Sure enough, this trick works.
Jiang Fubao entered the space.
I found that there was not a drop of water in the kitchen sink.
She went back to her room and went to sleep contentedly.
After getting up, I just walked out of the room and saw grandma giving money to Ma Chunxia who lived next door.
The Liwen brothers were carrying two large bamboo baskets.
It was filled with bamboo tubes.
At least twice as much as yesterday.
The copper coins that grandma took out also filled Ma Chunxia's palms.
"Two hundred bamboo tubes, a total of forty coins, count them. I'm not stopping you from making money. Look at Liwen and the other guy, they can fall asleep while standing. That's not the way to make money. I'm not going to run away. You've been working all day and all night, right? Go to bed early and don't overwork yourself. If you get sick, I'll have to find someone else."
Ma Chunxia's eyes were bloodshot.
I stayed up late just by watching it.
Liwen and Liwu also laughed loudly.
Zhang Jinlan kept shaking her head as she watched.
How can you make money that way?
It's like working hard for your life.
"Okay, I'll go back to sleep now. Life at home is tough, and the hens haven't laid many eggs lately. I can't do anything about it. So, from now on, after dinner, I'll bring you bamboo tubes. I can only make 150 a day, not more. It's really tiring. We didn't get much sleep the night before, and we stayed up until late last night."
After saying that, Ma Chunxia yawned again.
I was so sleepy that tears were streaming.
She waved to Zhang Jinlan and took her two sons back.
When leaving, he did not forget to take the bamboo basket he brought the day before.
Zhang Jinlan watched them leave with a smile.
At the end of Chen time.
The moment Jiang’s snack shop opened its door.
Seven or eight people came in.
Everyone wants to buy sausages and potatoes.
Some people even asked for ten.
Aroused public anger.
"You are such a wicked person. We have all been waiting for so long. If you buy ten, what will we buy?"
"That's right. I've been waiting in line for two days. It's so unethical."
"Shopkeeper, don't sell it to him. If everyone does it like him, what will we eat?"
"..."
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
Zhang Jinlan and the Jiang Dahe brothers quickly pulled them apart.
"Don't worry, each person is only allowed to buy one. We won't sell ten. Mr. Xu, I remember you didn't buy one yesterday, so I saved one for you today. Don't be angry, calm down. You came early, and everyone will definitely be able to buy one."
Zhang Jinlan naturally wouldn't sell it.
The most profitable items in the shop now are mung bean soup and meat patties.
Grilled sausages and potatoes are the rare items that attract customers.
That’s the amount I take every day.
To offend regular customers for this is simply to destroy one's own reputation.
Zhang Jinlan couldn't do it.
Hear her words.
The few people who were the most angry immediately calmed down.
In the end, all the customers who lined up early in the morning bought sausages and potatoes.
There is no need to rush if you arrive late. You can buy a cup of mung bean soup or a meat pie and sit in the shop to enjoy it slowly.
