Chapter 27: Initial Results

The Dong family has suffered retribution, it really has suffered retribution!

Jiang Mingyue couldn’t wait to go and see the Dong family’s fate right away.

However, she also knew that there must be many people watching the fun outside the Dong family.

She would be pestered by those people watching the fun now, so she should go another day.

Anyway, the town is not far from the village. If she comes to sell food in the town, she can inquire about it at any time.

Jiang Mingyue returned to the village with a basket on her back.

The riverside path she took did not pass through the streets in the center of the village.

When I got home, I put down the basket, took out the meat and put it in a bucket, hung it in the well, and sorted out the rest of the things.

Her grandfather came back just at this time. Jiang Mingyue took out the iron plate, compared it with her grandfather, and asked him to help her make a bamboo shelf that was about the same width as the iron plate, and could be folded and opened.

At that time, I will blow up the things and put them in basins on the shelves so that people can pick them easily.”

Jiang Mingyue explained.

The old man understood the meaning and started to do it immediately.

Soon he was done.

Jiang Mingyue also put things away, scooped out a bowl of noodles, added yeast and baking powder according to the proportion, and kneaded it evenly.

Take out some of the freshly minced meat, add salt and a little soy sauce, and make a fried pork box.

Pork boxes are the snacks she plans to sell now.

This is what she heard from Dong Meiyu who came back from a date in the city when she died and was trapped in the Dong family.

She had described this kind of food as fragrant and delicious. Jiang Mingyue was so skillful that even if she had never eaten it, she could still find the method of making pork boxes from the descriptions she heard.

No, she tried a bowl of noodles and fried eight of them. It was already the same, and the taste was unanimously praised by her family.

It was successful the first time, and Jiang Mingyue was full of confidence for tomorrow.

The next day, before dawn, Jiang Mingyue got up. She had to go to town to do business as early as possible, before people in the factory went to work.

It’s half an hour’s walk from home to town. It’s now five o’clock. I’ve washed up and set off to town at five-thirty.

As soon as Jiang Mingyue left the room, she saw that the lights in her grandma’s room were also on.

Grandma packed up and came out and wanted to go to town with her.

It is very dangerous for a young girl to travel in the dark. It is safer to go alone.

Despite this, Mr. Jiang still worriedly told them not to worry about anything if they were in danger. The most important thing was to protect themselves.

Jiang Mingyue nodded with a smile and patted the knife under the basket on her back. “Don’t worry, sir. I have a knife with me. It’s sharpened. If there are really bad guys, I’ll cut them one by one.”

You girl, you’re just like Xinyue.”  I was obviously the gentlest before,” the old lady joked with a smile.

Jiang Mingyue chuckled.

This gentleness can’t be used as food, let alone protect my family. I can only become a shrew.”

The grandfather and grandson each carried a backpack and walked towards the town. Fortunately, they were both used to farm work, so they could walk without delay.

By the time they reached the town, they could barely see their footsteps.

Jiang Mingyue took her grandma and walked straight to the Sanyi Cotton Mill and the Red Star Soap Factory.

There are several factories in Tonglin Town. Except for the lumber factory and the brick factory, the remaining three factories are all here.

Not far from the intersection, there is a workers’ compound.

This can be said to be the most populous place in Tonglin.

When Jiang Mingyue arrived, there was no one on the street. She found a spot at the intersection, put down her backpack, put out the sign she had written last night, and started to light the stove and heat the pot.

Grandma sat on the small stool next to her to rest and catch her breath.

Not long after, the aroma of meat pie was wafting in the wind at the intersection.

The sky was completely bright, and there were more pedestrians on the road, including many people setting up stalls like Jiang Mingyue.

But they sell all kinds of things, and no one sells pork boxes.

The overbearing aroma of the pork box goes straight into one’s stomach.

“How do you sell this pancake?”

After frying five pork boxes and two leek boxes, Jiang Mingyue welcomed her first customer.

A well-dressed young lady.

Jiang Mingyue smiled and said, “Three cents each for pork, and ten cents each for leeks.”

“Bring me two pork ones.”

“Okay, comrade, wait a moment.”

She quickly filled the cakes with oil paper, The old lady was collecting money.

Fang Xiaoli got the steaming pancake, blew on it twice and took a bite.

“It smells so good,” she said vaguely while inhaling.

For Jiang Mingyue, the recognition of the guests is the greatest encouragement to her.

She put a leek box in an oil paper bag and gave it to Fang Xiaoli.

Today is my first day doing business. Comrade, you are my first customer. I will give you a chive box to try the taste.”

Fang Xiaoli originally wanted to pay for it, but she heard that it was a gift. She happily accepted it.

The cakes you make are so delicious. I will tell my colleagues when I get back and ask them to buy cakes from you.”

“Thank you.”

Jiang Mingyue expressed her sincere thanks.

One after another, people were attracted by the smell of pork boxes.

Seeing the pancakes that were fried to a golden color on both sides and smelled of meat as they steamed, almost everyone who came bought them.

Originally, the old lady only helped collect the money, but as there were more people, Jiang Mingyue was too busy just making pancakes, so the old lady was responsible for packing the pork boxes and collecting the money.

Although the old lady is almost seventy, she is always very clean. Although her clothes are washed white and patched, her cuffs and collar are all clean.

Her white hair was tied well on the back of her head, her nails were cut short, and her hands were washed very clean.

Such an old lady would not be frowned upon by others even if she helped to pack things.

To be honest, some of the vendors selling food on the street do not pay attention to hygiene.

Compared with them, Jiang Mingyue, who is young and beautiful and always has a smile on her face, and the old lady who has a kind and gentle face even though she is old, are really clean and hygienic.

In addition, the things made by Jiang Mingyue have never been seen here before, and they are delicious, which greatly increases their desire to buy.

Each person bought two and three places. Jiang Mingyue had only set up the stall for two hours, and her bucket of grounds and pot of stuffing were all used up.

There are still some leeks left that are useless.

She bought ten kilograms of flour and five kilograms of meat, and made about two hundred pancakes.

The meat pancakes were sold more, but the leeks were relatively less. The exact amount of money she earned had to be calculated after she got home.

“Grandma, you take a rest, we’ll go home after I pack up.”

Jiang Mingyue was very happy.

The old lady is also happy.

To be honest, my granddaughter said she wanted to do business. She was so worried that she couldn’t sleep for half the night last night because she was worried that she wouldn’t be able to sell anything and make her granddaughter sad.

Now it seems that she still thinks too much.

Her granddaughter is a capable person.

After packing their things and putting them in the backpacks, the grandfather and grandson left with the baskets on their backs.

People on the street saw them leaving so quickly, and couldn’t help but laugh at the fact that these two people were doing such a good business, and they didn’t know if they could do it longer?

It really doesn’t make any money.

But then again, the food made by the girl is so popular, can they also learn from it?
