Life was miserable, but living under someone else's roof was unbearable.

Chapter 518 The Husband of an Educated Youth (11)

The early morning in the capital in August was a little chilly. The sky was just beginning to turn pale, and the gate of a courtyard house at the intersection of Beierdao Street opened.

"Be careful, lift it slowly." Ye Jiao said, reaching out to lift her hair, her tone gentle.

"Wife, stand over there." Ji Yang held the cart with one hand and pointed in the direction of the side with the other hand.

"Okay." Ye Jiao walked over quickly.

Ji Yang lifted the iron pot onto the cart with force, and then pushed it forward, with Ye Jiao following behind him.

The two had been in the capital for a while, sitting on the green train for nearly five days, with no relatives, and relying on each other here.

The courtyard house was rented, and the only source of their sense of security was the more than 900 yuan they had saved before.

The two pushed the cart to the city center, which was a long street with many factories next to it. Now people in blue work clothes were rushing to work.

Someone was riding a bicycle with a green bag on his back, and occasionally a car passed by. The building next to them was much more advanced than the one in their town.

Everything opened Ye Jiao's eyes.

As soon as Ji Yang stopped, she put away her thoughts and quickly started to prepare, putting out all the things to sell.

He lifted the lid of the iron pot, added another coal ball underneath, and then took down the small table and a few wooden benches and placed them next to it.

"How much is the tea egg?" A man came over and pointed.

"Two cents and a half each." Ye Jiao stood up and smiled back at him.

"Four cents and a half for two?" The man began to bargain.

"Sure." She nodded, then quickly picked up two, took the money and gave change, "Slow down."

"One tea egg."

"Here you go."

"Is there mung bean soup today?" A bicycle stopped, and the girl with braids asked.

"Yes, it's still hot." Ye Jiao nodded.

"Please help me put it in." She handed over the kettle.

"It's a little hot, I'll do it." Ji Yang reached out to take it, opened another pot, stirred it twice with a spoon, and a stream of hot air rose.

"Mung bean porridge is 1.5 cents." Ye Jiao said to the girl, and then took the money she handed over.

It was peak season, and the couple was very busy, so they sold tea eggs and mung bean soup.

A bowl of soup with a tea egg, the soup is refreshing, the tea egg is fragrant and tasty, not greasy and nutritious.

The two tables were full of people, and the business was very good.

They worked until 10:30 in the morning, and there was still one-third of the tea eggs left, and there was still some mung bean porridge, so the two could take a break.

Ye Jiao wiped the sweat off her face, and Ji Yang took down the high stool and put it next to her, "Sit down and take a break."

"Are you cooking too many tea eggs? I cooked 500 today." Ye Jiao looked at the iron pot with some worry.

In the past, she only cooked 300 and sold them quickly, so she cooked 500 today. The cost was a bit high, and she was afraid that she would lose money if she couldn't sell them all.

"If you can't sell them all, you can sell them in the afternoon." Ji Yang was not worried, and smiled and said a few words, "Why don't you eat a few more?"

"I can't eat anymore." She smelled the fragrance of the tea eggs and swallowed the taste.

She ate two as soon as she got up today. The purchase price was 10 cents each, and if she sold them, it would be 50 cents. She couldn't earn 50 cents a day at work before.

Too extravagant.

"Eat if you want. We don't have anything else at home, but tea eggs are enough." Ji Yang said as he picked up an egg and looked at it, "This one is tasty."

He peeled it in a few seconds and handed it to her.

"...Then I'll eat another one. I can't eat anymore." Ye Jiao smiled, curved her eyebrows, took it and took a small bite.

Like a little hamster, she was tasting her food and looked at him and praised, "Your random spices are delicious. We also bought tea eggs when we went to the square before, and they were not delicious at all."

At the beginning, the two came here and were very confused. Although they had money in their pockets, they would also spend it all. Ji Yang suggested doing business and starting with selling tea eggs.

He bought tea leaves and spices to study them, and she tried them. Unexpectedly, they tasted very good. On the first day, they sold all 100 eggs.

Then, the two cooked 150 eggs, then 200, 300, and 500 eggs today.

Life is slowly getting back on track. In this big city, they have a job to make a living. Although self-employed people and small vendors are not decent now, they are very satisfied.

"If it tastes good, eat more." Ji Yang has never been stingy with her. On the first day, she ate five eggs. When she went home at night, she had bloating and asked him to rub her for a long time.

"I want two tea eggs." An old man came over with a little girl, smiling lovingly, "She ate it last time and asked to eat it. She didn't like it even when it was cooked for her at home."

"The little girl is so cute." Ye Jiao squatted down and looked at the chubby little girl, looking at her with her big round eyes.

"Call me auntie." The old man reminded with a smile.

"Sister." The little girl pursed her lips and said very sweetly, "If you call me sister, can you give me one?"

Ye Jiao laughed. This is a clever little ghost.

"I'll give you one." Ji Yang had already picked up three tea eggs, "Eat more eggs to grow taller."

"Thank you, brother." She bit her lips with her little teeth, smiled even wider, and looked at her grandmother proudly.

"This child... is very adult." The old woman also had wrinkles on her face, "Grandma will hold it for you, it's a little hot."

"Bye, brother and sister." She waved her little hand.

"Bye." Ye Jiao looked at her, her smile still lingering. If she and Ji Yang had a child right after marriage, the child would probably be this big now.

"What are you thinking about? Here." Ji Yang interrupted her thoughts and handed over the money.

"Nothing." She took it, then held the box for collecting money, sat down and began to count the money.
