Chapter 17 Parents Go to the Provincial Capital

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the weekend. Feng Yiping returned to his heart like an arrow. It only took Feng Wen more than 20 minutes to travel from school and run home in one breath, so it was good to be young, he clearly remembered it. , Later, I walked through these mountain roads several times, resting and stopping, and it took about an hour to complete the walk, and I was still half-dead from exhaustion.

Today's dishes are particularly good. There are fish and meat. The meat is fried with chili peppers. It is very fragrant and fragrant. The grass carp that my nephew gave them, they were not willing to eat it yesterday. They kept it in a pot and killed it this morning. Half of it was left to marinate in oil. A pot of soup, now the soup has become milky white, sprinkled with a handful of shallots, delicious and delicious.

Before Feng Zhenchang came back, Mei Qiuping gave her son a big bowl and watched him eat. "What did Dad do?"

"I went to pick sand, I already picked a load yesterday."

"Oh," Feng Yiping was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Have you already made up your mind?"

"Think about it, Uncle Xi called back yesterday and I asked if this can be done. In the past two days, we picked up the early-ripening chestnuts on the tree, made a basket first, and started to try to fry them. I will come back. If we fry the chestnuts with the same taste, then we can prepare to go out after collecting the chestnuts. So while the weather is good in the past two days, we will pick up a few load of sand and come back, lest we pick it back if the weather changes in two days. Still in the sun."

"Hehe, that's good." Feng Yiping was very happy. To make money, they don't have many choices now. Sugar-fried chestnuts should be quick-acting, low-risk, and relatively sure. If all goes well, then the few hundred dollars a month will make a big difference to the situation at home.

More importantly, if this happens, at least some of Feng Yiping's ideas in the future will be respected by his parents, and they will be considered carefully. If something happens, he will also think about discussing it with him. This is what Feng Yiping mainly wants to achieve. a purpose.

Feng Yiping was surprised that his parents were so resolute that they did what they said. He also thought about the issue of money. It seemed that the manuscript fee, which had high hopes, could not help at present. "What about the money, what should I do? Knowing that we will receive chestnuts this month, it turns out that those people we owe money will come to ask for it. If we don't have money, we have to borrow it. It is not easy to pay."

"Oh, we have negotiated this. After the chestnuts are collected, we will sell the pigs to the dealers in the town. Your dad also said that it will be easy to sell them in two days. I want to raise them for a few more days."

This is a way. Feng Yiping also understood what his mother meant. It was not that he was reluctant to sell, but that the pigs would grow a little longer if they were raised for one more day. In a few days, even if they grew a kilo or two, they would be able to sell for a few more dollars.

It was not until Feng Yiping finished the two bowls of soup that Feng Zhenchang returned with two big bags of river sand. He was also very happy to see his son.

Feng Yiping noticed that this joy was different from knowing that he had won the first place in the exam and was rated as a three-good student. This kind of happiness is the kind of happiness that sees his son being able to help the family at a young age, as if he has grown up. From this day on, Feng Yiping also felt that his parents had already regarded him as an adult.

A few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, those who planted early-maturing varieties of chestnuts began to harvest chestnuts one after another. When Feng Yiping came back on the weekend again, their family's chestnuts could also be harvested, and the uncle also came back, and his parents also brought them out. After they tried a few times, they asked them to taste it.

My uncle is almost 30 years old, because he is always practicing according to "Wulin", and he seems to have no time. He is in good shape, his hair is naturally curly, he is wearing a leather jacket, and his lower body is a pair of jeans, he looks very energetic.

When he saw Feng Yiping, he rubbed his head, "Yes, Yiping, not only has good grades, but he can also give advice to his family. He has grown up!"

Feng Yiping laughed, "Uncle, you are very tasteful and handsome!"

Mei Yiliang also laughed, "Yes, I have good eyesight!"

Feng Yiping trotted a few steps, looked at the finished product made by his parents on the table, and then said, "You can go to your mother-in-law's house!"

"Haha," Feng Zhenchang and Mei Qiuping couldn't stop laughing, Mei Yiliang chased after him and tapped his forehead with his fingers, "It's incredible, you dare to joke about me now."

Feng Yiping hurriedly begged for mercy, "Uncle, business matters are important, what do you think of this chestnut?"

In the dustpan on the table, there are chestnuts that my parents have just fried, about two kilograms, exuding a sweet smell. Feng Yiping carefully flipped out the inside to see that it was not bad, all of them were fired up and laughed.

Pick up one, the shell is easy to peel, and the film inside is also separated from the chestnut flesh, and it will be torn off with a few taps. This time, I used the tea oil and caramel that my uncle brought back to fry, and the taste is also very positive, but because it is fresh chestnuts that have just been harvested, it has more water.

Mei Yiliang tasted a few and nodded, "It tastes good, but I don't fry it at a time at home, so it will be a little more difficult to replace it with a large pot."

Mei Qiuping said, "It's not that I made a full-fledged banquet for the emperor, and I have cooked rice for so many years. I still have this level. Isn't it because I can't control the heat of the big pot? That's not a problem, I will fry it in a big pot. Yes, it won't get any worse than this."

Well, this Feng Yiping believes it, but he still has to pick on the thorns. "The color of these now looks okay, but the size is different. I still need to pick this one. The shape is even and the appearance is better."

Mei Qiuping was in a hurry, so she couldn't get more than 400 catties of chestnuts together, "As long as it's delicious, it doesn't matter!"

"Mom, no matter what other people do, we must do well, so that we can sell better than others. Besides, those leftover chestnuts are not collected by others, and they can still be sold for money."

Feng Zhenchang decided, "Then I'd better choose and buy it instead. I'm not happy when I see the big and small ones I bought, and I may not buy them again in the future." It seems that he has already considered the problem of repeat customers.

"In addition, after the chestnuts are peeled and picked, we still have to dry them for two or three days, so that the taste will be more authentic. It is also easy to store in the provincial capital, otherwise it will still be moldy and bad."

Mei Qiuping was a little bit resistant. After sunning for two or three days, the sun was lighter by a few kilograms, that is, dozens or hundreds of dollars were gone, but her son was right. If you don't dry it for a while, the chestnuts will become moldy and rotten after a long time. pity.

The overall situation has been decided. During dinner, Feng Yiping asked his uncle, "Uncle, you are familiar with the provincial capital. Is there a place where schools are concentrated? Whether it is primary school, middle school or university, a place with more girls is better. Are you familiar with such a place? "

Mei Yiliang pondered, "Of course, primary and secondary schools are not concentrated, but universities are concentrated. What do you mean, if you don't go to places like farmers' markets, you can find schools, especially places with many girls?"

"Yes," Feng Yiping said, "First, the farmer's market is a good location, but there are many disputes and troubles; secondly, most of the people who buy vegetables are housewives and retired old ladies and gentlemen. It is cost-effective to cook or fry chestnuts by yourself. Look for a school near the school because, for example, in elementary school, parents take children home, and children see our stall and clamor for food. If parents don’t buy them, they will cry and make trouble. A catty is only two or three yuan, and usually parents will rely on their children. As for girls, of course, it is because girls like to eat these things more than boys."

The three adults were all a little surprised. The parents were the ones who were a little proud of themselves, and the uncle gave a thumbs up, "I can't see it, you still have a set, then I'll go back to the provincial capital and go around, like this. There must be a place, and I'll rent a house around there."

"Also," Feng Yiping said, "college students have more free time. Elementary schools and middle schools can only wait until after school in the afternoon. Then we sell the rest of the time near the university. At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, when the primary school is over, we will go to the primary school. ."

"This is no problem. I know that many universities now have affiliated primary schools and middle schools, which are not too far away." Mei Yiliang said.

My uncle stayed at home for four days, helping to get all the chestnuts home. Then Feng Zhenchang and Mei Qiuping got up early in the dark, and it took three full days to peel all the chestnuts out.

It wasn't an easy job either. After three days, both of them had backaches and couldn't sit up straight. Fortunately, the sky is beautiful, the weather is good these days, the autumn is cool and the sun is shining, and the chestnuts of even size are picked out, less than 300 pounds, and Mei Qiuping takes care of them to dry. As for Feng Zhenchang, he went to Zhiming's house to help peel the chestnuts. Now they are confident, they have discussed selling them at least four or five hundred catties. Of course, if they are even in size, they will pay at the end of the year.

The husband and wife were busy while waiting for a call from Mei Yiliang. Feng Yiping was in a better mood at school. He went to class every day to find Teacher Zhu at the head teacher's house, and took time to write something. At the same time, he was also full of hope and anxiously waiting for the magazine's response.

Finally, just after the National Day, Mei Yiliang called to inform her sister and her husband that the place was found, the house was rented, the gasoline barrel stove and other things that should be used, he also prepared almost, the sister and brother-in-law can prepare to go to the province city.

Feng Zhenchang quickly bought the pig, Mei Qiuping arranged everything at home, and handed the key to Feng Weidong's house next door, and asked them to take care of them. The rice was divided into three burdens, and they asked Dongming for help. The three first picked it to the side of the road, then stopped a tractor and transported it to the town. Then, full of hope, they took the bus to the provincial capital.

Three days later, the couple called Mei Jianzhong. They had settled down and sold 13 pounds on the first day.

A week later, on the 16th of October, on the day of Chongyang, the postman went to Mei Jianzhong's house, said he was looking for some water to drink, and handed him a parcel. Jianzhong transferred Feng Yiping to receive it, and quietly gave him a remittance slip for 2,300 yuan.
