Chapter 150
Because of the previous fight, the business was still affected, but not too much. It used to be sold out in less than an hour, but now it was sold out after setting up a stall in the middle of the night. Some people don’t mind if they were bored to death for a long time, but Qin Huai and the others didn’t want to cause trouble, so they took them home and fed them to the chickens.
Luckily, I didn’t lose money on this order, and I made a little profit. I’ll check the situation this week, and I’ll discuss whether to continue harvesting bamboo worms or choose another business when I go to Cai’s house next week.
After working hard for most of the night, Mu Nan just returned home before taking a shower, and Mu Nan received a photo from Yang Jing. Men’s sleeveless vests, women’s camisoles, and a few short sleeves are all ready. Although the cloth is dim It’s gray, but it looks a bit Harajuku’s fresh air for no reason. Yang Jing specially adjusted the lighting, and even asked her two roommates to wear it for a photo. It still looks good.
Mu Nan showed Qin Huai with his mobile phone: “If it weren’t for the fact that the material is a bit prickly and not as comfortable as pure cotton, I would like to buy two. They look pretty good.” On the body, there is an inexplicable feeling that the years are so quiet and distant, and it makes people feel comfortable just looking at it.
Qin Huai glanced sideways: “If you like it, you can take two back. I’ll wear it first, and I’ll give it to you when it’s soft.”
It was like this when I was a child, Mu Nan would wear his small clothes, not to save some money, at that time Uncle Mu was still there, and the family environment was not bad, but one is that the child’s skin is tender, and it is more comfortable to wear old clothes. Even though he has been in good health since he was a child, the older generation is somewhat superstitious, thinking that children who use what he has used, are contaminated with his breath or luck, will be as healthy as him.
Even if he went to school later, it was impossible to go out in his old clothes, but as long as he was at home, his old clothes became Mu Nan’s pajamas.
Mu Nan shook his head: “Forget it, let’s keep it for the money. Why wear earthen cloth if you have comfortable cotton, but in the future, you can give Yang Jing some flax material and ask her to make two pieces for us. The clothes are also comfortable to wear and cooler than pure cotton.”
Yang Jing has a custom-made clothing account. From the gauze net protective clothing before to someone placing an order for her to make clothes, this account has slowly become a business, so the newly made clothes are simply hung on Yang Jing’s clothing account It is sold online, and the price is not expensive, seven yuan for men and women.
The principal of a piece of cloth is seven yuan when converted into new currency. Yang Jing saves on the fabric, and one piece of cloth can make three summer clothes, including labor costs, and part of the oil money. Finally, Mu Nan and Yang Jing negotiated. Mu Nan contributed the principal, and Yang Jing contributed the manpower. It can be said that Mu Nan can lie flat and collect money without worrying about anything, which is much more comfortable than setting up a stall with bamboo worms.
More importantly, he can almost ignore the investment of the principal.
This is the relief food issued by the previous government. Even if the relief food is used up, he can still use the cheap rice bought by Qinhuai before to weigh it and vacuum pack it at home. Even the cheap rice in the past is better than the current one. Rice is much better, at least white rice.
But when I bought it in the past, I bought it at a bulk purchase price of sixty to seventy cents a catty, so the investment of the principal was nothing at all, and Mu Nan was completely earning money.
In order to help them publicize, Jian Chu also specially sent the photos taken by Yang Jing to the group of bamboo insect stalls established before, with a link to Yang Jing’s small shop, so that they can see it by themselves. This has also developed several customers. Yuan, soon the clothes really sold out.
Mu Nan asked Yang Jing to make an account book by himself, and settle the account once a month. He then looked at Yang Jing’s selling price to adjust the amount of cloth to go to Qinghe. When Qin Huai didn’t go to Qinghe with them later, he would Let Yu Zibai or Wu Zheng help take it, and he will pay a gas fee, anyway, it will not lose money.
When Yang Jing’s clothing store was getting better and better, and Mu Nan was also laying down to make money, the peace of the second district was finally broken by the industrial noise of digging wells everywhere.
Because taking the lead also involves digging wells, so apart from publishing some information at the beginning in order to incite more people to dig wells, the registration information has not been made public later on, and he is also afraid that someone who wants to see it will calculate something , although the action of drilling a well cannot be hidden from anyone, it is clear at a glance who is starting the construction.
There are also neighbors who got along well before and after, and they also pushed down the courtyard wall to expand the enclosure area, and several families shared a well.
Qin Huai and the others don’t have to worry about this yard. The girls also saved some money during this period, so after discussing, they decided to participate in a share. It would be much more convenient if there was a well in the yard.
The well-drilling workers were found by Qin Huai outside, otherwise, as he had expected, waiting for them to collectively start the work, and when it was his turn, it might take a few months.
Mu Nan stood on the balcony on the third floor and looked down. The yard was bustling with people drilling wells, and there were workers building awnings, which extended all the way to the gates of their houses. If you need water during the day, you can come here with some protection from the sun. If it weren’t for the awning, which is not cheap, they even want to cover the entire yard, but they just paid so much money to dig a well, and they are really struggling.
Seeing that his brother was also working hard to supervise the work below, Mu Nan went back to the house, poured a large cup of iced mung bean soup and served it in the thermos, and also brought a jug of ice water to quench the thirst of the workers. There are five well-drilling workers, which can be regarded as the construction team of the government project. They specialize in digging wells to make water stations. Now the entire residential area, except for the outer city, has no water stations. Several other districts are under construction. Although the government The pay is good, but if you have the conditions to make money, you have to earn money if you work hard, so these people take private jobs outside when they are on vacation or after work.
This yard is not the first private job they have taken on, but it seems that they get along the most harmoniously so far.
The foreman who was drinking water chatted during the intermission: “As for the location of the wellhead, the last project I took over, the two families almost had a quarrel, and the quarrel was unpleasant before the well started. In the future, because of the water problem, I’m afraid there will be no less trouble, and I’m afraid I’ll suffer if I encounter someone who cares about every detail, and I’m afraid there will be endless troubles in the days to come.”
Qin Huai took the water bottle that Mu Nan handed over, but didn’t drink it, and asked along the topic: “There should be quite a few people digging wells by themselves now.”
The foreman said: “It’s not too small, but it’s not too many. Those who have the conditions are only in the first few districts. The ones who live in the kind of big row buildings in the further back, how can they have the conditions to circle the well.”
Qin Huai nodded: “That’s true. Fortunately, this machine can still be used, otherwise such a deep well may not be able to move at all.”
The foreman who knew a little bit of the inside story said: “Even if there is no machine, the higher-ups will make great efforts to build the machine, otherwise the water supply of our entire city will be a problem.”
Mu Nan asked curiously from the side: “Is there such a shortage of water? You can get water by digging fifty meters deep, so why not just pump this kind of groundwater for water supply, and build some kind of water station.”
The foreman obviously did this before, but he is not an expert in this field. He just said based on experience: “We have never been short of water in the south. The water towns in the south of the Yangtze River and the South-to-North Water Diversion, the most important thing is water. In the past, there was no shortage of water. In some nearby villages, ten meters is enough to dig a well, and the water bubbles upwards. Now, it takes 30 meters to dig wells before it becomes wet. So many lives down there are still counting on you to eat, drink and survive. Are you afraid? Don’t plan ahead.”
Qin Huai rubbed Mu Nan’s head, and handed him the half-drunk pot: “Okay, go back to the room, it’s hot outside.”
Mu Nan obediently went upstairs after yelling, but she also analyzed a lot of information from the foreman’s words just now.
Now there is a water shortage, but it is not as serious as imagined. However, when the water is cut off, a water station has been set up. You can receive it for free every day, but you will be charged for more use. This saves a lot to a large extent. Unnecessary consumption of water sources, at least in the past when people could use unlimited water at home, people’s awareness of water conservation was not too strong.
Now even if one person saves a sip of water every day, the water consumption of the entire residential area can be maintained for one more day. This is the plan for the rainy day above, or the above has begun to store a large amount of water, and this method is used to drive the public to reduce water consumption. The prevention is the future. Predictably bad situation.
So the question is, why is there such an action at the top? Did the state apparatus monitor something, or is it somewhere they don’t know, what kind of water crisis they are suffering at the moment, and the network communication is cut off. The news is too blocked.
After today’s construction was over and Qin Huai, the supervisor, came back, Mu Nan told Qin Huai what he had analyzed: “Do you think what I think is right? Is there anything you want to add?”
Qin Huai touched his head and sighed, “This little head is worthless.”
Mu Nan glared at him immediately: “What do you mean, I’m always worth money, okay! Are you calling me stupid?”
Qin Huai smiled without saying a word, Mu Nan was furious, the two quarreled and went to the bathroom, after a long, long time, Mu Nan with red eyes was carried out, exhausted from exercise, sleeping very sweetly.
It was rare to be approved by Qin Huai to sleep late, but was awakened by the news from the mobile phone. After receiving several messages in a row, Mu Nan thought that someone was looking for him for something urgent, so he struggled to open his eyes and touch the phone.
Qin Huai stretched out his hand to pull him into his arms, and gently caressed Mu Nan’s lower abdomen with his warm palm: “Does it still hurt?”
Mu Nan tilted his head and bit him on the shoulder, turned over and rolled out of Qin Huai’s embrace: “It hurts, it hurts to death, I want a whale for a week, I want to have a good rest!”
Back then, he had drawn a lot of small cartoons with one step to the stomach, but such exaggerated plots were obviously fabricated. Just looking at the physiological structure, it is impossible to know that this is impossible. Who would have thought that the processing of art really comes from the reality of life.
Qin Huai pulled him back into his arms in a fawning manner, and kissed the angry red corners of his eyes: “It’s all my fault, be good, don’t be angry.”
Mu Nan tilted her head: “The man’s mouth, you bastard, I said it hurts so much that I’m about to vomit, but you don’t stop.”
Thinking of the bathroom last night, Qin Huai’s eyes gradually darkened. When Mu Nan whispered in his ear begging for mercy, crying that his brother was in so much pain that he was going to be thrown up, he asked who could bear it, Whoever can stop is just a secular person, and cannot expect supernatural restraint.
It wasn’t until Mu Nan supported the sink with one hand and put one hand on his hips that his lower abdomen hurt, Qin Huai returned rationally.
Seeing that Mu Nan really planned to ignore him for a week, Qin Huai felt distressed and funny, and pulled him back, gently rubbing his belly with one hand, while diverting his attention, saying: “Who is looking for you? There are several messages.”
Mu Nan suddenly forgot to push away this coaxing ghost, took out his phone and looked at it, the bottom one was Jian Chu asking him if he was awake and if he was still asleep, after scrolling up the message, Mu Nan said : “Jane came to me and asked how many eggs we have in our house.”
Qin Huai took advantage of the situation and asked, “What’s the matter, is he going to sell eggs?”
Mu Nan pulled Qin Huai’s hand on his stomach, turned over and lay on his back, and said, “He seems to be trying to sell chicken cakes. Didn’t we search the cake shop at the beginning and took it back?” There are a lot of moulds, and he asked me if those things are still there, selling chicken cakes is better than selling eggs directly, there should be more people buying eggs.”
Qin Huai: “Maybe there is a market, and compared to selling eggs directly, if this processed egg product can really be sold, it will definitely be more profitable than selling eggs directly.”
The things I searched in the cake shop before are still in Mu Nan’s space. Now I have taken stock, and there are indeed a lot of molds, and there are quite a few of those cake cups. They are not disposable. He used it repeatedly, so he said: “Then we have to tell him how many eggs there are? We have four hens in our family, and we have accumulated about 20 eggs. I don’t know if 20 eggs are enough for him. Should we say more?” point?”
Qin Huai said: “No, let’s say there are twenty. This is the first time he tries, he probably won’t use too much. He has to try the market, otherwise if he makes too much and can’t sell it, he will lose money. Be careful, he won’t do such a risky thing.”
After hearing this, Mu Nan started to reply to Jian Chu’s message, and then Jian Chu asked Mu Nan to take all the eggs from their family, and we will discuss the specific situation when we meet.
Mu Nan lay on the bed and rested for a while, and got up when he was really hungry, Qin Huai took one side of the clothes and put it on him, and rubbed his messy sleeping hair: “Sit for a while before getting up, don’t get up too violently. ”
Mu Nan agreed, and after brushing his teeth and washing his face, Qin Huai’s breakfast was ready, the macaroni he made today, the vegetables made with tomato beef brisket, the stewed beef brisket was rotten, and Qin Huai specially tore it into pieces The small minced meat, mixed with the soup, is very tasty.
After eating and drinking enough, I wandered upstairs and downstairs, looking at the rabbit that seemed to be pregnant again, and the chicken that kept eating and pooping. Seeing that Qin Huai had started to do housework, he carried a basket of eggs Dropping by from the top floor to Jian Chu’s house.
Yu Zibai had already gone to work and left early. Jian Chu was preparing for a photo shoot. He took Mu Nan’s eggs and put them on the table with a beautiful curtain: “How many eggs do you have?”
Mu Nan: “Twenty, is that enough?”
Jian Chu said: “I don’t need so many, just to serve as a background board, but my family doesn’t have enough eggs, so I might need some of yours. Are you going to sell them to me one by one, or buy a share?”
Mu Nan didn’t care about the eggs, there were plenty of eggs in his space, so he asked, “How do you invest?”
Jian Chu said: “I need about a dozen eggs to make chicken cakes. If you buy shares, each person will pay half of the eggs. I will make them. After the completion, you will earn fifty to five cents when you sell them.”
Mu Nan said: “You own the flour and sugar, and you need to spend your energy to make it. Sanqi, I’ll give you three, I don’t care about anything, just make an egg. If it sells well this time, next time I’ll sell it.” Some sugar and flour, too.”
It’s okay for Jian Chu to think about it, he’s not losing money to Mu Nan, and this is just right, so he asked Mu Nan to help him hold the phone: “I’m going to start a live broadcast, and people must believe that there are really eggs in this chicken cake.” , we don’t do that kind of black-hearted business.”
Mu Nan also nodded: “Okay, where are you going to start the live broadcast?”
Jianchu has already done it a long time ago, and opened a special account in the food section, which can be broadcast live or video, and then he will put the time and address of the stall below, this kind of thing is not suitable for online shopping, food It’s better to deal face to face.
Mu Nan said: “You can ask Song Jia to edit the video for you when the time comes. Isn’t he just engaged in this before, he is better than us two laymen.”
Jian Chu smiled and said, “That’s fine, treat him with a small cake as a reward.”
Song Jia was fine at home, after tidying up his one-acre vegetable garden, when Mu Nan called him, he simply brought Niu Niu over.
Jianchu and the others lived on the second floor. They used to grow vegetables in the living room on the second floor. Later, when the roof was built, they put all the vegetables on the roof. Now there is a chicken in the guest bedroom. Although there is only one chicken at the moment, it will soon grow. There will be more, and later the flood scrapped a lot of furniture. At this moment, the living room on the second floor of Jian Chu’s house is empty, there is not even a small bench, only a tea table is left, so they just sit on the ground, and Song Jia takes over when she comes. During filming, Mu Nan sat on the ground and played with Niu Niu.
There are a lot of people visiting the gourmet section now, but the current gourmet section is not the kind of food that used to be, but many people exchange experiences on it, how to use the least raw materials to make the most delicious food, and some strange things Strange things, even diced worms are luxury goods, and the most common topic on the forum is how to make bran into delicious food.
What is bran? If Tu Juan were to answer this question, then Tu Juan would definitely tell them that it was the main ingredient for cooking pig food every day when her family raised pigs. It was ground rice husks. In the past, this thing could be bought for a catty for one or two cents, but now, it is actually what many people eat the most besides some coarse grains and brown rice.
Some families are lucky. They dug up a lot of home appliances in the collapsed business district before, such as wall-breakers. The bran bought from the government was beaten several times with the wall-breaker, and the powder would be finer. Mix it with flour to make cakes or steamed buns. Although the taste may be a bit poor, it can satisfy the longest hunger with the least amount of flour.
But bran is really not very tasty, so many people have made various attempts to see how to make this former feed into a staple food that can be eaten now, but many people have made various dark dishes. The most popular is still the most acceptable way to make pancakes with flour.
In this gourmet section where all kinds of dark dishes or poor ingredients gather, the white flour and tempting eggs bake the simplest chicken cake before the end of the world, and instantly become the most attractive existence.
Just like many people used to like to watch food broadcasts, those expensive foods that they could not afford, or the exquisite food production that they have only heard of the name, just watching it is very satisfying, so Jian Chu’s live video is almost like a rocket. Potential rushed to the highest level with traffic.
Jian Chu glanced at the barrage on the screen, yelling all kinds of words such as running water mouth, wanting to eat, begging for a bite for the child, and took an egg from the basket next to it, gently put it on the side of the bowl. One, light yellow egg liquid, golden egg yolk, those watching the live broadcast through the screen seem to have smelled the aroma of eggs.
Jian Chu beat several eggs in a row, and put the eggshells in a specially prepared bowl. The eggshells should not be thrown away, but they can be fed to the chickens after they are smashed. Chattering chattering, what I made today is chicken cakes, it will be sold at seven o’clock, twelve o’clock in the evening next to the water station in the small square of the second district, the price is seven cents for one, two yuan for three, if you live nearby Yes, you can come and buy it, the real material will never be falsified.”
As for why it is a dessert shop, when they were discussing the name just now, they felt that it was a bit shameful to open a shop with their own name, but you can’t just call it a dessert shop. It just so happened that Jian Chu’s nickname was Dao Dao. Yu Zibai called him that, anyway, this is the shop opened by Jian Chu, so it’s better to use a nickname, so it became a dessert shop.
There are always some sayings on the bullet screen that it is too expensive, what not to buy, can’t afford it, etc., but many people also know that the selling price of this stuff with eggs is not bad, how many people have bought it for many years now? I have never seen an egg shell, let alone eaten it, and it is pure white flour and pure white sugar. For many people who eat bran every day, they can buy a luxury item for 70 cents. It’s really not expensive to eat food before the end of the world.
Jian Chu didn’t watch the barrage anymore, but started making chicken cakes seriously. He used to work in a cake shop when he was in high school. In that kind of private cake shop, the daily desserts are made by the pastry chef himself, so Even after so many years, he can still remember what to do when he sees these things.
Put it in a cup, put it in the oven to bake, set the time, and use eggs and flour to make an egg pancake in the shape of a semi-circular button. When a plate of egg pancakes is squeezed on the baking tray with a piping bag, The chicken cake in the oven was just ready, and with the sound of ding, let alone the audience on the other end of the video, even Song Jia couldn’t help swallowing, he hadn’t eaten such a sweet little cake for a long time up.
Jian Chu took out a tray of chicken cakes, soft and golden, and even because the phone was too close, a gust of hot air fogged the camera, making the mouth water even more enticing.
Jian Chu unmoulded the chicken cake, then handed one to Mu Nan, and Mu Nan handed it to Song Jia, Song Jia bit it down, it was so delicious that she cried, how long had it been since she had eaten this kind of cake before the apocalypse? You can buy something in a small shop: “Oh, it’s so delicious, I have a feeling that I’m back to the past, I never felt that such a bad street food, one day, I can eat intense happiness feel!”
Jian Chu smiled and said, “Does the taste suit you? Is it too sweet or not sweet enough?”
Song Jia quickly shook her head: “It’s just right, this taste is just right!”
Jian Chu handed another one to Mu Nan, but Mu Nan didn’t have a strong sense of happiness. Song Jia and the others hadn’t eaten this kind of food for almost three years. He ate half of the cake the day before yesterday, but he should praise Want to praise, so I repeatedly thumbed up: “It’s super delicious!”
The bullet screen couldn’t see their people, even Jian Chu could only see half of them, and didn’t capture their faces, but the sound of their conversation was recorded. Netizens who watched the live broadcast were angry. What do you eat for selling money? ! Save it for sale at night!
