Chapter 522 Buying Eggs

Chapter 522 522. Buy eggs

"What money?"

Wulan fiddled with her cell phone and said: "In the early years, when Tantan was a child, someone would come to collect them for 8 cents a pound. Her father took a big tea scissor and did it on the mountain with a bang. a few days.”

There were no electric or diesel ones at that time, so you had to hold big iron scissors by hand. After a few days of doing this, people will be useless.

Now……

Zhang Yanping thought about it for a while: "It should take a lot to cut tea leaves, right? It costs 8 cents per catty, which is a good income at least. The price must have increased now."

Pruning is divided into light pruning and heavy pruning.

Light pruning means only cutting off the green, tender and uneven part on the top. Heavy pruning means cutting off more than half of the old branches. The lower the tea branches, the heavier they are.

8 cents per pound is really a good income.

But Ulan shook his head: "What a beautiful thought... It costs eight cents a pound, and people don't want the old branches."

"And people who are doing business now are not fools. Seeing that there are not many people working in the village, and they have to raise the price to collect tea branches, they simply don't negotiate the price - if your family is willing to sell, they will be responsible for bringing the tea branches with you. The machine cuts directly up the mountain.”

"After cutting and then transporting away, we farmers can save labor. Although there is no income, we can save labor and the tea leaves will not grow poorly next spring."

"In previous years, Tantan's father went out to work, and this was how tea was sold at home."

Zhang Yanping was amazed.

"It's like saying... these tea leaves are exchanged for two cases of beer?"

"Otherwise, look, there are only a few households in the village now, and even if he pays 80 cents per catty, there will be no one! Asking someone to cut tea leaves, if the machine is equipped with oil, you can't do it without 400 yuan a day, no matter what You have to calculate the meal separately - how many tea leaves will you need to cut?"

What's more, I can't give you 8 cents.

Ulan said and waved his hand:

"Since our tea is going to be used this year, I won't register it. I'm not short of the two boxes of beer - I'm going to buy eggs."

On this side, Zhang Yanping retracted his neck silently, turned to his seventh cousin and said, "Look, I'm better off than Shen Wansan."

Who is doing business without having a plan in mind?

Seventh Cousin:......

He looked at the handful of broken tea branches and leaves that Qiao Qiao had cut in the basin, and simply waved his hand:

"Boil the water, and I'll prepare boiled eggs later! I can't believe it. This tea is so fragrant, but the old branches don't have any flavor at all."

"But..." Qiao Qiao looked at the thick and thin branches in the pot and couldn't help but wonder: "But other people use tea leaves to make tea eggs. Can we use tea tree sticks? Will it be astringent when cooked? of?"

As he spoke, he picked up a branch and chewed it in his mouth.

The seventh cousin also fell silent.

Then he looked at Qiaoqiao: "Are you astringent?"

Qiaoqiao nodded: "It's a little astringent and a little bitter."

Come on!

The tea egg dream was shattered.

But it doesn't matter, Qiao Qiao has already quickly picked out the broken leaves inside: "We can bring the tea branches back, then peel off the leaves and fry them to use to boil eggs."

Huh?

The seventh cousin thought about it: it’s not impossible.

As for the branches…

"Then use the leaves to boil eggs, and the branches to smoke meat and roast duck!"

Good guys, one old and one young are thinking about it, they obviously know how to live their lives.

Zhang Yanping:......

He thought for a while: "Then let's try it first. If it tastes good, Tantan, you and your seventh cousin will prepare some more and sell them in Taotaobao shop?"

This kind of tea egg marinade package is a little cheaper, so it should be OK.

The seventh cousin looked over instantly, and the meaning in his eyes was too straightforward - Zhang Yanping, you said you don't know how to do business!

Song Tan listened silently, and finally couldn't help but say: "It's really not that difficult at home now..."

It was hard at the beginning just to catch up with the weather.

Later, I worked hard to make my family feel safe and to have more food on the table.

Later... To be precise, since the move, except for Wu Lan and Song Sancheng who couldn't take any time off, there was basically no particularly stressful work at home, and they all hired people to do it.

The busiest days have been picking peaches.

If you prepare this stewed stuffed bun, wouldn't it mean that you finally have some free time in mid-summer and have a new job?

The seventh cousin looked at her disapprovingly:

"Money will only be spent when it is spent! We are rich now. When the barren hills start to be built, your little money will not be enough to open up wasteland... I don't want your share. I will write down the ingredients later and you can find someone to pack them yourself." Bar."

If you are old, you have a house and savings, you eat and drink well every day, and you sleep soundly, why do you want a share of this?

The reason for fishing was because of his efforts, and the seventh cousin would not give up what he deserved.

But this recipe for tea eggs...you can find hundreds of versions of the ingredients online, so why does he have the nerve to ask for money!

Thinking of this, the Seventh Cousin felt more and more reasonable: "Besides, this has nothing to do with money - you are willing to burn such a good thing as firewood? Isn't this a waste?"

Song Tan: ...Okay. No waste.

Next, let’s continue hiring people to do the work!

Anyway, with this arrangement, everyone in the village probably won’t have much time to rest before winter.

…

And here, Wu Lan also found the family that raised chickens with familiarity——

"Sister-in-law Wang, do you have any eggs at home? I'll buy some."

The woman called Wang Sao had gone up the mountain to pick peaches before. When she heard the shouting, she hurried out of the house: "Don't you have chickens at home? Why haven't they laid eggs in the past few months?"

There are no secrets in the village. Everyone knows what Song Tan's family raises better than anyone else during their casual chats.

It's just that the chickens and pigs are raised in the back mountain. If you want to go there, you have to go around Song Tan's house. Most people don't go there to see them.

Ulan also knows the importance of keeping a low profile:

"Well, there are only a few chickens raised in the mountains, and they lay so many eggs. This time his uncle said he wanted to make tea eggs. I thought that if a family eats dozens of eggs, it would take a long time to save them! It's better to buy some."

Wang Sao didn't doubt it: "Yes, your family is large..."

A family, thirteen or fourteen people for a meal, a table can't fit them. If it's dumplings, it would take a bag of noodles for a meal...

I can't bear it.

Thinking of this, Wang Sao felt exhausted.

"If I had known that there were so many people in your family, I shouldn't have bought all local chickens. You should have had some breed chickens. They grow fast and lay eggs fast... Our local local chickens have been like that for a few years."

Ulan also looked helpless: "I didn't expect there would be so much work at home... If you ask me, I don't want to raise chickens. It's not a big deal every day, and I have to worry about finding food for them... Isn't it the children who insist on raising chickens? She's selling goods online now, so just let her do it."

"That's right..."

While the two chatted, Wang's wife quickly picked up 40 eggs: "These are all laid in the past few days. The fresh ones haven't been sold yet - are they enough?"

"Enough, enough."

Ulan quickly agreed.

It's daytime! I ate crayfish and cucumber eggs after writing last night. I really like crayfish that are half-grown and tender...
