Chapter 44 Another order(1/2)
Uncle Qi was a little embarrassed, so he had to bite the bullet and say it.
"It's not just my family in the mountains, there are also relatives from your aunt's family..."
"I still have some. Who is selling it? How much do you want?"
"I calculated it, it's a total of 10,000 kilograms, this..."
Looking at Uncle Qi's worried eyes, Jia Yi thought for a while.
"Uncle, I won't hide it from you. I still have the goods, but the transaction method needs to be changed."
"No problem, just say it."
Then Jia Yi told the old man the same thing again, but this time he was replaced by Uncle Qi.
"Uncle, let me tell you, I will never admit this at any time."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Uncle Qi patted his chest and promised.
"this price…"
"Five cents a pound, it's not easy for everyone, so I'll give you a cost price."
"That's great, Xiao Yi, you really helped me a lot.
I want half of the potatoes and sweet potatoes, when can I trade them?"
"I'll come here the day after tomorrow. You give me the money and I'll give you the address of the grain. Then you can transport it back by yourself. Okay."
"no problem."
Uncle Qi was very happy. A big stone was lifted from his heart and he felt relaxed.
Jia Yi was also very happy. He never expected that the deal would come to his doorstep.
"By the way, Xiao Yi, are you here for anything?"
"I almost forgot, I'm here to buy some seasoning."
"What seasoning."
"Braised pork, cinnamon and fragrant leaves."
"I have some here too. Come on, I'll give these to you."
Jia Yi was surprised. Didn't the uncle sell pork? How could he have these spices?
"I found it in the mountains and someone asked me to sell it for food."
Looking at the spices displayed by the uncle, fungus, mushrooms, dried hawthorn, and dried bamboo shoots.
"Uncle, I want them all, do you still have them?"
"Yes, there are quite a few more. Do you want to..."
"Yes, I want them all."
"I have a total of 1,000 kilograms of mountain products. Can I exchange them for 3,000 kilograms of potatoes?"
Uncle Qi was a little worried. After all, the number was relatively large, and Jia Yi might not necessarily need so much.
"Okay, no problem. Uncle, you can just transport it to the house the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go find you at the house the day after tomorrow."
Without further chatting, seeing that it was getting late, Jia Yi hurriedly got in the car and rushed to the agreed place with the first uncle.
At 6:40, Jia Yi went to the agreed forest and took out 2,400 kilograms of potatoes. After thinking about it, he took out 600 kilograms of sweet potatoes. The neighbors thought they paid four cents a kilogram.
When they got out of the woods, they saw the first man coming with people. Jia Yi hid quickly. When the first man arrived at the edge of the woods, Jia Yi came out from the end of the team.
With five minutes left on the clock, Jia Yi quickly moved forward and found the first uncle.
"Master, I made an agreement with them to pay four cents per catty. They put three thousand catties of potatoes and sweet potatoes here."
When the old man heard this, he couldn't believe that such a good thing could happen.
"Really, that's great."
"Master, please keep your voice down. The time is almost up. You go in and get the goods. I will go back first."
"You should go back first. Thank you, Xiao Yi, and thank them for me too."
"Okay, then I'm leaving."
Jia Yi left after saying that. He was already hungry. He hurriedly went home to eat. If he was later, he might be punished again.
"I'm back, I'm so hungry."
"You know you're hungry, the whole family is waiting for you."
"hey-hey…"
Qin Huairu looked at her son who was pretending to be stupid and felt like he had nowhere to start.
"Dangdang, look, I brought Kung Pao chicken and braised fish."
"That's great, brother."
Xiao Danghuaihua took a food box by herself, opened it and placed it on the table.
"Brother, why is the fish my sister got cold?"
"It's just cold. Don't worry, I cooked it with sesame oil. It's okay to eat it cold. And you can try this."
Jia Yi took a spoon and scooped out some fish jelly and gave it to Xiao Danghuaihua.
“It tastes good.”
"tasty…"
"Okay, let's eat later."
Qin Huairu went out to serve food. She has been keeping a low profile lately, so she didn't cook big fish or meat at home. It was just a plate of peanuts, a plate of pickles, and a piece of Chinese cabbage.
If it weren't for the dishes Jia Yi brought back, we would have been vegetarian at night.
"Uncle He, try this Kung Pao Chicken and help me find the problem so I can improve it."
Jia Yi scooped a spoonful into Uncle He's bowl.
"The knife skills are good, and the frying is even. Add less water in the future. You are afraid that it will not be cooked enough, so you always over-fry it.
This is a common problem among chefs. It always happens when you first start. Just keep trying and be brave."
Jia Yi was thoughtful. It was true. He was always afraid that the vegetables were not cooked enough, so he would cook them for a while unconsciously...
You still have to keep experimenting and remember the mature characteristics of the dishes, and it should be much better.
The family happily finished their dinner. In this situation, eating meat means happiness. No matter whether it is chicken, fish, or pork, as long as there is enough oil, it will be delicious.
Thinking of this, Jia Yi suddenly remembered that there was not much oil at home. A while ago, there was enough fat to cook the oil, but now...
Next time, plant some soybeans to press for oil. It won’t work if there is no oil in the vegetables.
The Taoyuan space is now very quiet, the animals have all rested, and each group has grown a little stronger.
Jia Yi looked at the weeds and flowers all over the mountain and thought it would be a pity not to raise some bees. With bees, Jia Yi would not have to pollinate by himself, and he would also have honey to drink.
We can't find that many fruit trees yet, so it's a pity that this mountain is empty.
Thinking of this, Jia Yi immediately took action and first moved the animals and fruit trees to one side, that is, to the mountain on the other side of the breeding area.
The sleeping animals don't even know that they have changed places. When they wake up tomorrow, they find that they have changed places...
Then collect the weeds, wildflowers, and fallen seeds into the warehouse, which may be useful in the future.
Don’t wait until next time. Jia Yi planted ten acres of mountain land with soybeans. Think about tofu nao, tofu, dried tofu, tofu skin, yuba...
I really want to eat it, but I haven’t eaten it in a long time. Of course, extracting oil is also very important.
No, I also need to plant some mung beans. I almost forgot about bean sprouts.
Compared to soybean sprouts, Jia Yi prefers the delicate taste of mung bean sprouts. Soybean sprouts will leave soybeans behind, and Jia Yi is not used to eating the prepared bean sprouts.
Thinking of this, Jia Yi took back the seeds on two acres of land and resowed mung beans.
Jia Yi bought these mung beans when he was wandering around Pigeon Market. He put them in the cave and forgot about them.
If I hadn't wanted to eat bean sprouts today, I wouldn't have thought of it.
…………
"Xiao Yizi, are you okay today?"
Looking at He Hui standing in front of him, Jia Yi was speechless.
"Xiao Huizi, it's nothing, I just go back and put a school bag."
"Then go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
How afraid are you that I won't go? Jia Yi finally decided to compromise.
To be continued...
