There's a Space Man in the Village [Rebirth]

Chapter 31

After a successful performance, Zhou Weibai, who returned to the house, was exhausted. This time, he had the courage of his life to fool his mother.

Of course, he couldn't think of these things like today. Huo Chengyi gave him the script of the lines. After he finished, he thought about it, and he felt that he had really re-acquainted with 'Huo Daniu', that guy is really too dark !

But when the other party is talking nonsense and fooling people, it makes you feel very reasonable. Zhou Weibai feels that he has to guard against Huo Daniu in the future, otherwise he will not know if he is sold.

And I don't know if it can be done or not, in short, even if it doesn't work, he won't dare to do it again.

That night, Zhou Weibai fell asleep in the middle of the night with anxiety and a guilty conscience.

When he woke up the next morning and saw his mother go out to Huo's house with a smile on her face to give an answer, he didn't think it was too complicated.

Here, Huo Chengyi was not surprised when he received Zhou Dahua's reply. This was a strategy that he had thought about for several days and tailored specifically for the weakness of this tigress.

If it was another family, it would definitely not be possible for the sake of the reputation of their little brother. The most feared thing in the village is to be stabbed in the spine, and the girl and the little brother are also the most concerned about reputation.

But the Zhou family is different. The Zhou family's reputation is not good. Zhou Weibai can't talk about marriage in the village now. If so, what do you care about? Might as well make more money actually.

Zhou Dahua was not a person who cared so much about secular etiquette. She figured it out, and things were basically done.

After discussing the details of the cooperation with the Zhou family, Huo Chengyi began to prepare to set up a stall at the dock.

The specific required boiler seasonings were already prepared when I went shopping in town last time, and the rest was to prepare fresh food.

There are many vegetables in the village, mainly meat. The prey he hunted in the back mountain is definitely not enough, and he cannot support long-term business.

So Huo Chengyi first ordered some pork and a lot of pig offal and water from butcher Zhao in the village.

Pork is relatively small, and the cost is too high. The townspeople are not short of pork to eat. A little is enough. Mainly, pig offal and water are the real big heads.

Although people here have to eat animal offal, but because many cooking seasonings are not widely used, except for restaurants with 'secret recipes', the food made by ordinary civilians is not very tasty, especially the offal from offal.

The last time he went shopping in the town, he discovered this situation. Chuanchuan hot pot is a dish that has a great taste, so eating these things is the most suitable.

In addition to the skewers, this time Huo Chengyi also added something for sale, which is fried chestnuts with sugar.

Chestnuts are not uncommon. Every year, there are many wild chestnuts on the mountain these days. Many people in the village will hunt them. It is an excellent food for stewing meat and vegetables in winter.

But this is for the villagers. Chestnuts are rare in the town, and there is no such modern snack as fried chestnuts with sugar. Because sugar is relatively expensive, ordinary people are reluctant to eat with sugar.

He is actually on a whim. In the past two days, Duan Xiaopeng has seduced a large group of friends with snacks to help him come back with several big boxes. Anyway, chestnuts are free.

Because the method of frying chestnuts with sugar is very easy to learn, and making money is time-effective, Huo Chengyi kept his mind and prepared to warm it at home before taking it to the pier to sell.

The fields are not busy these days, and Huo Dashan helps him prepare things when he has nothing to do, washing and cutting vegetables, cooking and marinating meat, and stringing things up, all of which are not too technical tasks.

Huo Daya and Duan Xiaopeng were also there to help, while Wang Xiuzhu was inconvenient to do some small work of handing over things, and his champion was also not defeated. The children are amazed.

It was the first time in so many years that the whole family worked together in the Huo family's yard. The atmosphere was harmonious and lively, and everything was prosperous at home.

Huo Chengyi likes this kind of family feeling very much. He used to lack everything in modern times, but every day when he comes home, it is only him and the champion, one dog and two, and his heart is empty and uncomfortable.

In the afternoon, when the candied chestnuts were ready, Huo Chengyi asked Huo Dashan to send some to his uncle's family and Zheng's family. The things were not precious, they were all heartfelt.

The two children in the family also let a large bag go out to eat for the children who play together. His family has a bad reputation, and the two children have few playmates. Being too withdrawn is not good for the children.

Duan Xiaopeng is heartless and does not know his good intentions, but he is still willing to take things to share with his friends.

Needless to say, the two brothers, Dahu, Zhao and Xiaoxi, have three children with crotch pants, and the rest of them play with no one else. They are the little brothers who established a revolutionary friendship with them through Huo Erbao last time.

The three children are precocious, and they are definitely attentive to this group of little brothers who may become their husbands in the future. They are very willing to separate their snacks. If you want to replace them with boys, then get away!

Everything was ready, and it was just dawn the next day. Huo Chengyi took the ox cart borrowed from Uncle Huo and went out with his things.

The Zhou family had already agreed on the time, so Zhou Dahua also took Zhou Weibai to wait for him at the entrance of the village early in the morning. Zhou Dahua dressed up to go out, but she still seemed uneasy, and wanted to follow him on the first day.

Huo Chengyi didn't care. He couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. He smiled and called 'Aunt Zhou'.

From the beginning to the end, apart from saying hello and nodding, I didn't even go to see other people's little brothers.

Zhou Dahua was very satisfied, and seeing that her little brother was still showing a 'reluctant' expression, she leaned over in a low voice to comfort her.

"My dear son, this matter is decided like this. You can help Huo Daniu well. Just bear it for this month. Anyway, don't think about going into the mountains again. Mother will not agree."

"I know . It's over..." Zhou Weibai lowered his head indifferently, with a lifeless look, fully clearing up the suspicion of conspiracy.

Huo Chengyi sat in front to drive the car, with his back facing Zhou Dahua with a bright smile on his face.

...

Huangxi Village is not far from the town, and the speed of the ox cart is even faster. They arrived at the pier just after dawn.

At this time, there were already a lot of people at the wharf, most of them were small stall vendors. Those who had been working for a long time had fixed booths, while the newcomers had to pay the protection fee with the local snake to find an empty spot on their own.

Huo Chengyi handed over the money to the local snake, received a wooden sign similar to a pass, and drove the ox cart to a corner next to the wall.

This location does not seem to be very good, but it is wide enough. There is a wall behind it, so I am not afraid of losing things. The fragrance of the soup base is strong, and I am not afraid of not attracting guests.

It is actually very convenient to sell the skewers. All the work is done in advance. Now, as long as the stove is lit, the soup base is heated, the guests can order what they want, and the vegetables can be washed and cooked, and most of the meat is cooked. Yes, you can eat it hot.

Huo Chengyi lit the stove, and after a while, a strong aroma of chili wafted out.

"Boy Huo, don't say that you smell really good, how do you sell it, how can we call it?"

Zhou Dahua is a woman who can have an accident, and she is not afraid to show her face at all. She originally came to see it today, but she smelled the pot. The fragrance in it, she asked the price with great interest and prepared to help together.

Zhou Weibai listened attentively and didn't speak, but now his mother is staring at him.

"One piece of text for vegetarian, one piece for meat."

Huo Chengyi had already thought about the price.

Chuanchuan sells small profits but quick turnover. It sounds cheap for a penny, but in fact, a string of things is very small. If you really open your appetite, children can eat dozens of strings.

Even if he is reluctant to give up so much, he is still willing to spend a few pennies on the early adopters. Not to mention the merchants who stop and rest, the coolies at the wharf can afford it, and they can make money by accumulating less.

However, Zhou Dahua and Zhou Weibai felt that it was a bit cheap. Although the meat and vegetables on the skewers were small, Huo Chengyi's soup base was full of ingredients. Not to mention the smell, there was a thick layer of oil floating on the pot. , how much money is this?

But the business is not their own, and their mother and son are not very good at talking about it. Originally, they were shy about his salary of 40 yuan. Now both mother and son are thinking that if the sales are not good, they should order less wages, and they should not be too greedy.

"Then how do you sell this sugar-fried chestnut? It's made of sugar, so it can't be sold cheaply."

Forget it, Zhou Dahua doesn't understand the profit, but Huo Chengyi also gave it to her family, it tastes good, and Especially sweet, it means that there is too much sugar, and it is a loss to sell it cheaply.

"That ten cents and half a catty."

Although there is no money for chestnuts, the cost still needs to be calculated. Huo Chengyi's price is much more expensive. Half a catty is ten cents, and a catty is twenty cents, which is better than pork.

But there is no shortage of rich people at the wharf. This is a fresh food. He sells the first one. The price will come down after a while, so he naturally wants to sell it while it's fresh.

"This, ten cents and half a catty... Can someone buy it?"

Just now, Zhou Dahua, who felt that Chuanchuan was cheap, was a little hesitant for a can of chestnuts.

Chestnuts are relatively common in the eyes of villagers in the countryside, and they are collected on the mountain without money. Naturally, the villagers think that this thing is cheap. Even if sugar is added, it is too expensive to sell it at a price similar to that of pork.

"Don't worry, if we can't sell it, we can keep it and keep it for ourselves."

Huo Chengyi is not worried at all. He can sell it if he can. If he can't sell it, he doesn't expect the chestnuts to make a lot of money for him. Chuanchuan is the main source of money for this stall.

"That's all right, your kid has the final say in buying and selling your kid."

Since the boss said so, Zhou Dahua didn't bother anymore, nodded and pulled Zhou Weibai with great interest and started shouting.

She is a woman who has grown up practicing boxing and feet, and her voice and lung capacity are not comparable to hers. As soon as she makes a sound, she suppresses all the hawking noises around her.

She was obviously going to supervise the work today, but she was more excited than anyone else, especially her excited expression as if she hadn't been out in ten or eight years.

Zhou Weibai was also unambiguous. He shouted with his mother, and immediately made their stall the focus of the land.

Huo Chengyi couldn't help laughing when he saw it on his face, put a handful of firewood under the stove, let go of his throat and joined the action.
