Chapter 949: The selfish and vain female supporting role (46)
"Dad, Cheche!"
Zhang Jinzi lay warmly in Zhang Li's arms and pointed at the small truck that was driving steadily from far to near.
Zhang Li glanced at it and responded casually: "Yeah, Cheche."
Unexpectedly, the car drove slower and slower, and finally stopped beside him.
"..."
He hugged his youngest son warily and took a step back. The next second, he heard the gentle voice of his eldest sister: "Ali, why are you still holding the gold and waiting in such a cold weather?"
"sister?"
"Brother-in-law?"
"Hey! How come it's Yinyin who drives the car? Did you... rent a car specially to come here?"
The three consecutive questions made Xu Yin's family laugh.
"Yinyin bought this car. It's convenient for delivery. By the way, give the gold to Yinyin and help me carry the things up."
As soon as the carriage door opened, Zhang Li was stunned.
So many things?
This time when she returned to her parents' home, Xu's mother did bring a lot of things, but most of them were prepared by her daughter——
There are beef and mutton gift bags from her friends, fruit wine she brewed, dried fruits, candied fruits, and gifts she bought when she went to Anshi, such as clothes, shoes and socks for her elder brother, and health care products for her younger brother.
My brother and his wife bought cigarettes, skin care products, puzzles for my nephew, and Lego blocks at Anshi Shopping Center.
In addition, before going out, I also roasted a few chickens and ducks, a large box of biscuits, bread, and a change of clothes for a family of three, which completely filled the carriage.
"What are you doing standing still? Move your things quickly!"
Zhang Li came back to his senses: "Sister, don't you want to go to other places to deliver goods?"
"Haha! No, no, these are all for you. Some are grown and raised at home, some were bought by Yinyin in Anshi, and some were given by her friends... Hurry! It's cold outside, don't let your children catch a cold.
Already."
"This is too much!"
"If you think it's too much, get some more tea seed oil later. Yinyin has a friend who likes to use this oil to cook vegetables. She gave these beef and mutton meats. I'll give her a few more bottles of tea seed oil."
When Zhang Li heard this, he thought this was not easy to handle?
There is nothing else in Shanlizhai, but the camellia seed oil tube is enough!
His family has a small population, and they extract dozens of kilograms every year.
People with a lot of labor have planted a mountain of camellia trees. The tea seeds collected after the frost have a high oil yield and can squeeze hundreds of kilograms.
"How much does Yinyin cost? Twenty or thirty kilograms of what I squeezed myself is enough. Any more will have to be bought from other people. Fortunately, there was a snowfall two years ago, and many people have not yet squeezed out the new oil after the frost."
Go out and sell.”
Xu Yin immediately said: "I want any amount."
Camellia seed oil pressed in the ancient way is something even rich people in small worlds cannot buy.
She had stocked up on some before, but after living in several small worlds, her inventory was running low. Of course she would take this opportunity to stock up on more.
"Uncle, why don't I go with you?"
See if there are any other mountain goods.
They say "delicacies from the mountains and the sea". Wen County is far from the sea and there is no fresh seafood. It would be good to stock up on delicacies from the mountains.
This reminded her of the small world in the 1980s, when she also had an uncle who lived in the mountains. At that time, she stocked up on all kinds of wild mushrooms, the rarest and most precious of which were red mushrooms.
Zhang Li saw that she was interested, so he took her with him. Shanli Village is located in the scenic spot, with well-proportioned houses built along the stream.
The houses in Shanli Village are basically wooden buildings. The walls, stairs, and roofs are all wooden structures. Only the foundations are made of stones, which are hand-hewn and very smooth and flat.
At a glance, you can tell which ones are your own residence and which ones are B&Bs built later.
"Uncle, are you interested in opening a B&B?"
She thought that if Zhang Li wanted to open a B&B, she could invest in it.
In the last quarter of last year, business in several restaurants run by Chen Jiao was booming. As a recipe provider, she received a bonus of more than 200,000 yuan. In the first quarter of the new year, business will not be bad at all.
Zhang Li listened to her question and shook his head: "Running a B&B also requires brains. My brain... Hey, your aunt always thinks I'm stupid. I don't expect to get rich anymore. I just hope that the food stall business will be better."
While we were talking, a big tea seed oil company arrived.
Xu Yin stopped talking and concentrated on ordering tea seed oil.
Not enough for one, so I also went to see several others.
I also looked at the dry goods displayed in various stores, but they were all ordinary shiitake mushrooms, fungus, and tea tree mushrooms. There were not many other types, such as red mushrooms, which were very rare. Xu Yin was a little disappointed.
Then I thought it was normal. After all, the mountains now are very different from those in the 1970s and 1980s. Now they are contracted by village collectives and individuals. Most of them are planted with Camellia oleifera trees, and a few are planted with tea trees, nut trees, and citrus trees.
The mountain tops are basically used, and there are very few inaccessible mountains.
As a result, there will be fewer rare and valuable wild mushrooms.
It's rare to find some. The people in the mountains don't have enough to eat themselves or give them away, so they don't think of selling them.ъiqugetvt
Even if the ones sold outside are advertised as wild, they are actually all artificially grown, which is nothing more than the quality of the cultivation environment.
Although there were no red mushrooms, the shiitake mushrooms and fungus looked like they were picked from the wild, and Xu Yin wanted them as much as she wanted.
There are also chestnuts and large walnuts, all of which were harvested years ago.
It's not the time when new tea leaves are on the market. The freshest ones we buy now are those roasted last spring. Once spring comes, these are considered old teas. Zhang Li told his niece not to rush to buy them.
"New tea will be coming soon. If you want it, I'll keep an eye on it for you."
"Okay, please trouble uncle."
"What's the trouble? Just talk."
Zhang Li took her around the village.
When they came back, the two of them had baskets and bags in their hands. They made an appointment with several large camellia oil companies to order the number of kilograms of camellia oil, and waited until the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year to help deliver it to the foot of the mountain.
Xu Yin's family had discussed it before they came: it was rare to accompany Xu Yin's mother back to her parents' home. There was nothing else to do during the first month of the year. They would stay a few more days and go back on the sixth day of the lunar month.
In this regard, Grandpa Xu is also very supportive: "It's rare to go back to your parents' home. Boss, please stay with your wife for a few more days. I'm at home, so what are you worried about?"
His legs and feet are now much sharper and he can move around normally, such as feeding chickens. Besides, Uncle Xu and his family will go over to accompany him in the third grade of junior high school.
So, the family of three decided to stay for four or five days. If they had enough time, they could also teach Uncle Zhang how to roast beef and mutton.
As a result, Grandma Zhang is the happiest person.
In previous years, my daughter would go back to her parents' home on the second day of junior high school, and she would go back after only two days. She would come and go in a hurry, and her granddaughter would still come and go. She was busy with schoolwork when she was studying, and busy with work after graduation.
This time, my granddaughter also came and said she would stay until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Grandma Zhang showed off her unique cooking skills and cooked all the special snacks and dishes of Shanli Village for her granddaughter.
Xu's father taught his brother-in-law how to roast beef and mutton dishes, Xu's mother and sister-in-law chatted about household chores, and Xu Yin was fed by Grandma Zhang from time to time.
Rice steamed buns, glutinous rice cakes with bean paste, bamboo tube chestnut rice, mint sandwich cakes... these are Grandma Zhang's specialty snacks.
