Chapter 224 This dish is really good
Lan Xin didn't know that Aunt Pang and several aunts in the village, as well as several other elderly farmers, stayed up early in the morning to help him patrol the vegetable pickers.
Lan Xin did not sleep in today, and she got up quietly before dawn. Seeing Li Jia sleeping soundly beside her, she carefully covered the mosquito net, closed the door of the room and the yard, and went to the vegetable garden.
After all, it was her idea to sell vegetables in a group. How could she not go and check on the situation on the first day of picking vegetables?
Xie Shaowu and Xie Yaozu, both uncle and nephew, are not from Lanjia Village and cannot make it here so early in the morning. Who else could go to check on the vegetables except Lan Xin?
However, to Lan Xin's surprise, she saw many villagers in the fields where it was their turn to pick vegetables.
It’s clearly not the time for them to pick vegetables yet, so why are they all awake and coming here to watch the fun?
When they saw Lan Xin, they greeted her with a smile, "Lan Xin is up."
"I'm watching here, just go back to sleep."
"Even if I were here, I would definitely not let him pick even a rotten leaf, lest the city folks dislike it."
Now Lan Xin understood why there were so many people. He couldn't help but say with a smile,
"Aunts, uncles, thank you so much for your help." Lan Xin was really grateful!
He just wanted to organize a group purchase of vegetables to divert the villagers' gossip, but he didn't expect them to take it so seriously.
Thinking about the hard-working Lanjia Village, Lan Xinxin wondered if there was any good business that could make money and benefit the village.
Because it was the first day, the city folks who were buying vegetables in groups didn’t quite believe in this new thing, so they bought few vegetables and the portions were not large.
Several villagers quickly packed up the food, weighed the vegetables one by one with a scale, tied them up with straw ropes, and even put in two extra vegetables to make sure they didn't get any less than the required amount.
Next is the killer eggplant. The eggplants grown in Jiacun are not the long purple eggplants sold in the later market, but small, slightly curved eggplants, which come in white, purple and green colors.
There are just three big eggplants and four small ones, each weighing about one pound. It is very convenient. After weighing and bundling more than two hundred pounds of eggplants, we can start with other vegetables.
When they were halfway through, Xie Shaowu and his nephew came over in a tractor. Seeing that everything was almost ready, Xie Shaowu said happily.
"Ouch, I'm late. You guys have to do all the work."
"We've arrived at the right time, not too late." The villagers who helped with the weighing waved and said.
In fact, the group-purchased vegetables are delivered the next day and do not need to be prepared and delivered to the buyers early in the morning. It’s just that the villagers of Lanjia Village are used to getting up early in the summer, and the quantity is not large, so they finished the work in a short while.
"Since it's ready so early, let's go deliver the food early." Xie Shaowu said as he looked around.
Today is Sunday. At this time, many factories in the city do not have a double day off. They only have one day off on Saturday or Sunday.
Now they deliver the vegetables early, so that the female workers can receive them before they go to work. Maybe it can even become a topic of conversation for them during work.
As they chat, they will surely be able to attract more workers to come to their Jiajiatuan to buy vegetables.
I have to say that Xie Shaowu's idea is really good. When the villagers heard him say this, they all nodded in agreement and moved faster.
"Lan Xin, are your tea eggs ready?" Xie Shaowu asked Lan Xin who was helping.
He knew that Lan Xin also wholesaled the tea eggs to the two group buying leaders to sell. If he took the tea eggs over earlier, when there were more workers at the time, maybe someone would buy them.
"I have to go back and take a look at this." Lan Xin stopped what she was doing, stood up, patted the water in her hands and said.
Because Li Jia was still asleep and Ma Cuihua had to cook tea eggs later, Lan Xin did not take the dishes home to prepare them, but prepared them directly at the edge of the field.
Just now, when Xie Shaowu and his companions drove the tractor to Lan Xin's house, they were stunned, wondering why it was so quiet. Could it be that the villagers of Lanjia Village had not yet gotten up to pick vegetables?
It was Ma Cuihua who showed him the way and asked them to drive all the way to the field.
The villagers began to move the vegetables they had prepared onto the tractor, while Lan Xin quickly walked back home to see if Ma Cuihua had cooked the tea eggs.
As usual, it’s time for the first round of tea eggs to be served.
Just as Lan Xin rushed home, she smelled the rich aroma of tea eggs wafting through the yard. Lan Qing and a few others were packing the tea eggs, preparing to go up the mountain to start today's business.
In addition to Lan Qing and the others, Li Jia was also squatting and helping while sucking his saliva.
Oh my god, how come she doesn’t know that the tea eggs cooked at Sister Lan Xin’s house smell so good?
Although she slept in a strange place and shared a bed with Lan Xin, Li Jia slept soundly. Lan Xin got up but she didn't wake her up, and Ma Cuihua went into the yard to wash and boil eggs but she didn't wake her up either.
It was not until the tea eggs were cooked that the rich aroma woke her up. As soon as she opened her eyes, Li Jia touched her chin, which was wet.
But Li Jia didn't notice it. She squinted her eyes and followed the smell to open the door. When she met the sight of Ma Cuihua and Lan Qing, she realized it belatedly and ran away in panic, causing laughter from everyone in the yard.
"Lanxin, you're back. How's things going in the vegetable garden?" Ma Cuihua asked when she saw Lanxin coming back.
Before the tea eggs were cooked, Lan Qing and his brothers went to the vegetable garden to help Lan Xin and knew that they were done now.
Ma Cuihua came over early in the morning to cook tea eggs and had no idea about the situation in the vegetable garden.
Lan Xin nodded, "It's all ready. How about the 50 tea eggs I need?"
"Everything is ready. You'll get priority." Ma Cuihua pointed to two enamel pots with lids decorated with big red flowers and brought them to her.
This was bought by Lan Xin some time ago. Now she just happened to carry this whole pot to sell on the table in Jiang Hongxia’s store.
Lan Xin opened the lid and took a look. The rich aroma came to her nose as the lid was opened. Looking at the dry tea eggs, Lan Xin thought for a moment, took a spoon, put a few spoonfuls of juice in it, and added a little boiling water.
A pot of tea eggs soaked in rich black tea sauce looks so delicious.
Lan Xin looked at Li Jia next to her and asked with a smile, "Are you sleeping well?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jia blushed. She was sleeping so soundly that her mouth was drooling. She could only nod shyly and didn't dare to say anything.
"You rest at home for a while. I'll go deliver the food and come back later to accompany you to Sanqing Mountain." Lan Xin did not forget to remind Li Jia.
"If you're hungry, just eat tea eggs. Don't worry, we have plenty of tea eggs."
Upon hearing this, Li Jia's saliva became even more abundant.
