Chapter 59 59. Buying and Selling
59. Buying and selling
Zhao Xiaoling looked around and found that some things had been added to the house, a set of tables, chairs and benches for eating, and a cupboard.

Grandma explained: "It's impossible for our family to not have a table for eating and a stool for sitting on, right? These are all necessary possessions, things that are used every day."

"Yes, these things can be used for many years at a time, and they are necessities."

The three sat down to eat their first meal in their new home, everyone was excited that this was the beginning of their new life.

Grandma said: "I stayed in this house all day, like a dream. I used to dream and couldn't believe it. One day I will live in such a house, with running water directly to the house, and This lamp is clean and bright, how comfortable it is to live in such a house! More than 300 yuan, it is worth the money.”

Zhao Xiaoling took a sip of the soup and said with a smile: "Grandma, this house is nothing. In the future, we will buy a more beautiful and comfortable house to live in. There is not only running water in the house, but also hot water. This hot water is always available. We can use it at any time." You can take a shower, wash your hands, and wash the dishes, you can open it and use it without burning it.”

Both aunt and grandma couldn't believe it.

My aunt asked: "You don't need to burn it, you can turn on the tap and there will be hot water. How did the hot water come from?"

Grandma also nodded and said, "Yes! How is this possible?"

"There is something called a solar water heater, which is not available now and will only be available in a few years. It uses the heat of sunlight to heat water for use."

Zhao Xiaoling explained for a long time, but grandma and aunt seemed to understand.

Grandma said with relief: "Your grandfather insisted that you continue to go to school, because he said that people who read a lot are smarter, and they are better at seeing problems and dealing with things than those who don't read. It is true, you know more than we know .”

Zhao Xiaoling lowered her head and ate the cake, feeling panicked in her heart. In her previous life, she couldn't do anything except drag down her aunt's family. Now she can do this because she lived an extra life.

"Grandma, without you, grandpa, and aunt, I'm afraid there would be no Zhao Xiaoling in this world. I will work hard to make money to repay you."

The grandma said: "Xiaoling, don't say these things again in the future, you know that it seems strange to say these things? In the hearts of your grandpa and I, we treat you as our own granddaughter, and our own granddaughter should do everything. Yes, there is no need to repay or not to repay.”

The aunt also said: "Yes! We are all a family, a dear family, I really love you, you really love me, there is no distinction."

"Yes, aunt, what you said is very good, my dear family, you really love me, I really love you. You have loved me for 16 years, now that I have grown up, I will learn to love you, aunt, Don't worry, everything will be fine, these days you still go to collect firewood every day, I rest on Sunday, let's start business together."

"What business do you do? Have you thought about it yet?"

"I've made up my mind. Let's sell some food and boiled pig blood. It's the busy farming season. There may not be many people on the market day, but there won't be too few people, so make less. I've inquired about it and went to the food company to pick it up." One pig’s blood only costs [-] cents, so we’ll take three pigs and sell them, and we can eat the rest, even if we lose, we can still afford to lose [-] cents.”

The aunt said in surprise: "This is a good idea. Pig blood tastes delicious. If you take three pigs' blood plasma for nine cents, you can cook a lot!"

"Yeah! This pig's blood is easy to cook. You don't need too much skill. The most important thing is to add the right amount of water when receiving the pig's blood. If there is too little water, the boiled pig's blood will be too hard. If you add too much water , the boiled pig's blood is too tender, has no bones and muscles, and has no taste."

"Yes! This is very important, and we have no experience, how much water should be mixed with a pig."

"There is a colleague in our factory. Her brother kills pigs in the canteen company. He knows how much water is needed for a big pig. When the time comes, let him help to make the pig's blood mixed with water as appropriate as possible."

"That's great." Aunt said reassuringly.

In the next few days, my aunt and grandma went to the mountain to collect firewood every day. On Saturday, the firewood they collected was piled up in the yard to form a hill.

After dinner on Saturday, Zhao Xiaoling took her aunt to her colleague Zhang Qin's house with a foreign tin bucket to ask her brother Zhang Kuan to help collect the pig blood. She specially brought some walnuts from her hometown for them.

Early that Sunday morning, Zhao Xiaoling and her aunt went to the food company to get pig blood.

When Zhang Kuan butchered pigs, he received pig blood by the way. This was only within the scope of his duties. Generally, those who bought pig blood directly handed over the money to him. It is also very random when mixing water, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less, a little more and a little less is not a big problem.

At that time, supplies were scarce, and everyone who had a bite to eat didn't always save it. There were very few people who were as generous as Zhao Xiaoling.

Zhang Kuan said: "Don't worry, I have killed pigs for five years, and I have experience in mixing pig blood with water. I will definitely satisfy you."

At around five o'clock the next morning, Zhao Xiaoling and her aunt went to the food company to get pig blood before Zhang Kuan and the others got off work at six o'clock.

After returning home, they planned to cook three bowls to taste for themselves, add water to boil, put pig blood in, add oil, salt, oil and chili, and sprinkle a little chopped green onion when cooking.

Grandma, aunt, and Zhao Xiaoling each ate a bowl. The pig's blood was smooth and tender. At that time, pigs were raised on bran and grain. Not only was the meat fragrant, but the pig's blood was also delicious.

The three of them ate with eloquence and sweat profusely.

Grandma said: "Xiaoling, how could you make such delicious pig's blood?"

Zhao Xiaoling did it in her previous life, and she said perfunctorily: "I bought it and ate it, and when I saw it, I put some peppers fried in sesame oil in it, and the boiled pig's blood was very fragrant, and the water mixed with the pig's blood was very suitable. "

The experiment was successful, and no one would buy such delicious pig's blood, so they started to cook all the pig's blood.

Zhao Xiaoling said: "Our pig's blood sells for ten cents a bowl, grandma, if it were you, go to the street and spend ten cents to buy a bowl of this kind of pig blood, would you be willing?"

Grandma said: "It's worth buying a bowl of pig's blood for ten cents. It's still such delicious pig's blood. It's more cost-effective than buying a steamed bun. And it's not much more than ten cents. Everyone can afford it."

"Grandma, I'm relieved that a frugal person like you can accept a bowl of pig's blood for a dime."

My aunt was calculating on the side: "Sell six bowls and you can get back your money. How can we not lose money in this business?"

"Of course it won't be a loss. Even if it can't be sold out, we can still eat it ourselves!"
