I am Xu Lingjun, who is full of love in the courtyard

Chapter 14
After seeing off the two girls, the sweet potato porridge in Xu Lingjun's pot was also cooked.Don't tell me, it's quite delicious to eat once in a while.However, Xu Lingjun also knew that he wanted to eat meat, braised pork in brown sauce, fried pork with chili, and spicy chicken...

It's a pity that there is nothing at home, and no money.There are still several days before the next crossing, how to spend these geniuses is the most difficult.

The only blame is that Xu Lingjun didn't think it through clearly. He brought a lot of good things, but he couldn't cash them out.Now, it is also hoped that these prickly pear jelly candy can sell money.

Don't tell me, the sweet potatoes are quite sweet these years, but the yield is not enough.This sweet potato porridge is quite fragrant, unlike the common varieties of later generations, which can only be eaten with white sugar.

The person was already hungry, and the porridge was a little cold, so he took the chopsticks and ate carefully.After eating, he put the bowl into the casserole and took it to the stream to wash it.

Don't tell me, water is really a big problem.The only bucket in the house is used for fish.If you want to get some water, there is no container.

The life here is too hard, even if Xu Lingjun can bear it, he can't stand it.Fortunately, I came later, so I didn't have to go to work, otherwise I would really collapse.

In the current situation, Xu Lingjun can only survive these few days, and then he will have everything to eat.

After washing the dishes, I put them back in the kitchen and closed the door.Bringing a bamboo basket with him, Xu Lingjun went out.Go down the path and soon come to the entrance of the village.

Hualinzhai Village belongs to the basin structure and is located on the top of a hill.Out of the village, there is a very steep uphill road with a drop of more than 10 meters and several floors high.

According to the memory inherited in my mind, the terrain of this place has not changed much.It was noon now, and it was too late to go to the county seat.By the way, the current Xihong City is also called Xihong County.He was going to try his luck in the town, and if he couldn't sell it, he would hurry back.It's getting dark now, so hurry up by yourself, one hour back and forth is enough.

In 2012, the village-to-village project has reached Hualinzhai Village.At that time, there was already a motorcycle in the town who specially picked up and sent people into the village.In addition, there are more people buying cars, and not many people are willing to walk into the village.

Fortunately, Xu Lingjun was not among them.Unable to make money, he neither bought a car, nor was he willing to enter the village on a motorcycle.Every time I walk into the village.In addition, I usually deliver express delivery, which comes and goes in the wind and rain, and my will has been tempered.Coupled with the strengthening of the body, this distance is not a problem at all.

There are two roads down the mountain, one is the main road and the other is the small road.Xu Lingjun took the main road. After all, the small road was close, but there were too many people.He didn't want to sell some fudge himself, because too many people knew about it.

There is no one on the main road, and when walking in the mountains, there are obviously birds and insects singing all the time.But people feel very quiet, even scared.Especially when passing through the road section with tall trees and dense forests, there are dense fir trees on both sides, which makes people feel very scared.

The weather has been fine these few days, and the ground is extremely dry, which doesn't affect walking at all.

The fear in his heart forced him to speed up and even run.He was usually a little claustrophobic, and the more he ran, the more scared he became.Fortunately, he was in good physical condition and ran out quickly.The field of vision suddenly opened up.

After descending the mountain, they arrived at the outskirts of Genshan Village. Xu Lingjun did not enter the village, but went to the outskirts.It is only 10 minutes away from here to the town, which is still called the commune, very close.

The current road is still very narrow, and only one tractor can pass through it.The direction hasn't changed much.

The commune's farmer's market was diagonally opposite the commune's residence. Xu Lingjun walked in with his things, but there were no people there.

If you want to sell these fudge, you have to find a good place.Opposite the commune's office is the supply and marketing cooperative, and it's okay to sell some vegetables now. Standing so blatantly at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative to sell things, I'm afraid it's not courting death.

I can't go to a good place, Xu Lingjun thought for a while, and simply asked each house with his things.Don't tell me, it works pretty well.Because there is no scale, it cannot be sold by weight.

When they came to the family area of ​​the commune, Xu Lingjun stood at the door of the family and said, "Is anyone home?"

Soon, a middle-aged woman in her 40s came out, looked at Xu Lingjun, and said, "Hello, what do you want?"

"Hello, do you need to buy fudge?"

Looking at the woman's clothes, although they are only gray cloth clothes, they are covered with new clothes, which shows the wealth of the family.This family's house is also the best looking on the street.

Xu Lingjun chose this place as his first target. Sure enough, the woman immediately became interested after hearing Xu Lingjun's words.

She asked curiously, "What fudge, is it sweet?"

These fudges, lacking caster sugar, are actually not very sweet.It should be sweet and sour, and it tastes delicious.But it is also a rare sweet snack at this time.

Xu Lingjun smiled and said, "Sweet and sour, very good fudge. Do you want to buy some?"

The woman smiled and said, "Can I have a taste?"

"Of course." Xu Lingjun uncovered the small cloth bag wrapped in soft candies in the bamboo basket, and held it in front of the woman.Inside the small cloth bag are all the soft candies cut into very small pieces, which he specially brought for everyone to taste.

The woman looked at the fudge in the small cloth bag, frowned, and said, "Are all your fudges cut into such small pieces? Is this so enjoyable to eat?"

"Take it easy, I'm just serving it to customers, so I cut it smaller."

The woman laughed lightly and said, "You are quite shrewd." After that, she took a piece of jellybean and ate it.

After a while, he said, "Your fudge tastes pretty good, and it has a fruity scent. How do you sell it?"

When he came, Xu Lingjun had already thought about it.Now white sugar costs 6 cents a catty, and brown sugar costs 5 cents a catty.My fudge can't compare to sugar, but it's not much worse.After thinking about it, 4 cents a catty is not bad.You should know that most of the prickly pear jelly candy is prickly pear candy, and the sugar content is relatively high.Just because there is a sour taste in it, it tastes less sweet than sugar.But don't have a taste.

"Only 4 cents a catty."

The woman thought about it, and felt that the price was not bad.But he didn't show it on the face, and said with a smile, "The candy is only 5 cents a catty. You don't know how many other things have been added to this fudge. Is it so expensive? Can it be cheaper?"

Xu Lingjun had a premonition that others would negotiate the price, but he did not expect the first customer to negotiate the price.He thought for a while and said, "Sister, you also tasted my fudge, it's very sweet, right? It's almost all white sugar, and fruit pulp is added in it. This makes it sour, making it less sweet. You Tell me, so many things are added in, and you will be charged 4 cents a catty, and you have earned it."
