Chapter 106 The Chicken Thief
After the party, Xu Ming always wanted to find a temporary worker job for An Fan in his own unit, but he never got it because the power supply station also had a certain number of temporary worker jobs. Quota.
If no temporary workers leave their jobs, there will naturally be no job vacancies.
In the end, Gu Jiu pulled people into his team and took An Fan to nearby villages to buy medicinal herbs every day as long as it didn't rain or snow.
The few trusted medicine diggers Gu Jiu was looking for naturally made a lot of money during this period.
When he revealed that he might let them deliver the herbs to the city after a few days, the villagers all patted their chests and said there would be no problem.
If they deliver the herbs themselves to the place designated by Gu Jiu, sometimes it will be more convenient for them to go out to dig the herbs. They don’t have to transport them back to the village every time, fearing the jealousy of others.
To make a fortune silently, smart people of all ages like to play this trick.
Gu Jiu is naturally much more relaxed now that An Fan has joined him. Even Lin Shu felt a lot more relaxed.
It is autumn, the harvest season.
Similarly, it was the harvesting season for most medicinal herbs, and Lin Shu also wanted to dig up as many medicinal herbs as possible.
Gu Jiu was not at ease because she was going up the mountain alone. He insisted on asking her to rest for a day after going up the mountain.
The pace of climbing up the mountain has slowed down, and people are naturally more relaxed.
“You haven’t left today?”
Lin Shu went up the mountain yesterday and found a lot of Eucommia vine growing in a place. He sold a lot of it to the system, and naturally made a lot of money.
Originally, I wanted to go out for a few hours today, but I didn't want to find that Gu Jiu, who usually left home early, was sitting at the table eating breakfast leisurely as soon as he got up.
Gu Jiu looked back and saw that she was wearing loose pajamas. She hadn’t washed her face or brushed her teeth, so he urged: "I have a day off today. You go and wash up quickly. I bought the fried dough sticks and soy milk dumplings that you like to eat. "
Lin Shu looked at the dishes and chopsticks on the table, rubbed his eyes and turned to the bathroom.
After washing up, as soon as she sat down, Gu Jiu pushed the soy milk prepared for her in front of her, "Try it, the soy milk is at the right temperature, and the fried dough sticks are freshly fried in the morning, and they taste good."
Lin Shu held the soy milk in both hands and took a sip. The strong aroma of the beans comforted her stomach after being hungry all night, "It tastes good. Did you give yourself a day off today?"
"After so many days of work, I must take a rest, otherwise I will be exhausted."
Gu Jiu took a bite of a small steamed bun, and the soup filled his entire mouth, and he was instantly craving for food. Satisfied.
In fact, even if he was resting at home, An Fan would still be helping out. During this time, taking him out early and back late would be rewarding.
"I'll go to the vegetable market later and buy some good vegetables to supplement your diet."
Gu Jiu felt pleased after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Thank you, we Let’s make up for each other together.”
Saying that he had a rest today, Gu Jiu rode to his old house after breakfast.
After more than half a month of renovation, the old house can be completed today. He will go over to inspect and accept it, and then settle the wages for the masters.
After Gu Jiu left, Lin Shu collected all the herbs returned yesterday afternoon into the system, and then rode his bicycle to the farmer's market.
As autumn enters, the vegetables in summer are already old, and the vegetables just planted in autumn have not yet grown up, so vegetables in this season are the most scarce.
If it were a later generation, with convenient transportation, we would not have to worry about running out of vegetables all year round.
But this season is the harvest season, so naturally there are other seasonal foods to replace it.
For example, small fish and shrimps picked from the countryside on the street, fresh lotus roots, sweet potatoes, etc. just dug out. Lin Shu pushed the bicycle to a basket filled with fresh lotus roots. There was also half a bag of stone snails in a snakeskin bag next to it.
“Comrade, how do you sell this lotus root?”
As soon as the old farmer put the load on the street, he heard someone asking the price, and he quickly replied: " You can choose new or old lotus roots at will, and they all cost five cents a pound.”
Lin Shu bent down and took a lotus root and looked at it. This lotus root was really fresh. "Your skin has not changed color. Did you just dig it out of the pond?"
The old farmer smiled naively and said: "But No, I went down to the pond to dig at four or five o'clock. The family worked for two hours to dig out this load. Don't worry, the lotus roots are absolutely fresh."
Lin Shu nodded, naturally believing what he said. There is no technology and hard work nowadays. If you want to keep the lotus roots fresh, you can't. You have to dig it out and sell it now. When you see fresh lotus roots, you don’t have to worry about soaking them in medicine. They are real green organic vegetables and you can eat them with confidence.
"Please help me choose. I want twenty kilograms of old lotus root and young lotus root each."
It's rare to encounter fresh and cheap lotus root, so I bought some more and put them in the system storage compartment. You can take it as you go from now on.
"Oh, and also help me weigh five pounds of this stone snail." Lin Shu gave him a sack, "Weigh it for me and put it into the sack. I will pick it up when I go back later. I will pay you the money first, and you Watch it for me.”
When an old farmer meets a big customer, he naturally agrees to the customer’s request.
Lin Shu then bought half a basket of shrimps in front of a stall, and then went to the market to buy some other vegetables and ingredients.
When you get home, wash the shrimps, stir-fry them in a pot, and spread them outside to dry in the sun. Dried river prawns are easy to preserve. If you want to eat them, you can chop some chopped chilies and stir-fry them with minced ginger and garlic. It goes very well with rice.
Leave a few lotus roots outside, and store the rest in the storage compartment of the system. If you want to eat them later, you can take two out for cooking.
Leave about a pound of the stone snail in water outside and let it vomit sand for a few days. In the past few days, she kept an eye out to see if there was any chicken sellers. If she could find chickens, the snail stewed chicken would taste very good.
“Boom!”
“Sister-in-law!”
Lin Shu was happy when he heard the knock on the door, and hurriedly got up and opened the door, “Dongfa, today You’re here early, come in quickly.”
Outside the door was Lin Dongfa, who was riding all the way carrying herbs.
"Sister-in-law, are you at home alone today again?"
"Yes, your uncle has gone to the old house and will be back after he finishes his work. Come over and sit down and have a glass of water to rest. . ”
Lin Dongfa removed the herbs tied to the back seat of the bicycle, then washed his hands and sat down to drink water.
While peeling the apple, Lin Shu asked: "Did your journey here go well?"
"Good luck, sister-in-law. In a few days, Aunt Mei Zi will get married. Grandma asked me to ask you When will you go back?”
"Go back the day before she gets married." Lin Shu handed him the peeled apple and asked with a smile: "We have dug a lot of herbs at home recently. What is the reaction of other people in the village?"
Yes She didn't care if Lin Mei got married. The reason why she went back was to fulfill the favor and mainly to see her family.
Lin Dongfa: "People in the village don't know about medicinal herbs. Even if they see us digging, they just ask a few questions, and we just find any excuse to excuse them. It's just that Aunt Meizi asked my mother several times, It seems that she has been paying attention to what's going on in our house."
"She can't smell fish." Lin Shu is not too worried about Lin Mei. When she gets married, she will be a member of the two villages. .
After getting married, her husband's family had a lot of things waiting for her to deal with, so she had no time to worry about matters in her natal village.
Lin Dongfa nodded in agreement: "Yeah, my grandma also said she was too much of a thief."
