husband and wife

Chapter 56

About a week later, there was not a single tea seed to be seen on the mountain, and everyone picked it up very cleanly. The Song family picked up four big baskets full of them, and weighed them on the scale after half a month. However, the oil extracted was only about [-] catties. Su Wan was surprised, but the Song family was very happy. They felt that this year they picked more tea seeds than in previous years, and got more tea oil.

Of course the Song family was reluctant to keep such precious oil for themselves to eat, but they also kept three or four catties. The remaining twenty catties were sold by the Song brothers in the town, but they only got six pennies back. Qian was also a little disappointed: "Why only Liuguan?"

Song Yougen replied: "The shopkeeper of the grain and oil shop said that he has collected too much camellia oil this year, and he is afraid that he will not be able to sell it, so he can only suppress the price, and he has always refused to accept it."

Mother Song sighed, took the money and went into the house.Su Wan just sat on the sidelines thinking, tea oil is precious, most people would not bear to eat the oil they squeezed by themselves, let alone buy it, so the oil they squeezed would not sell for a catty or two in a day at a stall in the town. If they don't make any money, they can only be sold to grain and oil shops, but the shopkeeper just keeps pushing down the price, so a catty of camellia oil costs less than three cents a catty of peanut oil!
After Su Wan settled the account, she felt her heart was bleeding. If she knew it was only for such a small amount of money, she would have bought it all!This is the real pure natural without additives. Tea oil is not only nutritious, but also a beauty product. You can wash your face, make a mask and moisturize your skin!If you go to the grain and oil store to buy it, maybe some unscrupulous shopkeepers have exchanged other things in it.

Anyway, autumn is here, and the grapes that Su Wan has been thinking about are finally told that they can be picked. However, after eating a few, Su Wan is a little disappointed. Although the grapes are a bit sweet, they are too sour. She loves the sweet and sour taste, but she is most afraid of sourness. She usually cooks with a little more vinegar and feels too sour. After eating a few grapes, she feels that her teeth are not good. However, the three girls and the three babies are still competing. Well, he stuffed the grapes into her mouth vigorously, "It's delicious, Third Aunt will eat it for you!"

Su Wan is a little sad, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, she misses the modern life a little bit.Su Wan looked up at the grape rack, and there were bunches of bright red grapes hanging down, she couldn't help asking: "Can my family finish eating these grapes?"

"Of course I can't finish it. The grapes will rot soon after being picked."

"Then how do you usually deal with it?"

"Many people have grown grapes. No matter how bad the mountain is, there are enough wild grapes to eat. No one will spend money to buy them. If they can't finish them, they can only be dried and stored. They can be served as desserts for Chinese New Year."

"Will sun-dried raisins be delicious?"

"It's hard, not too sweet, I like to eat it!" San Niu replied loudly, and when Su Wan looked over, she opened her mouth and swallowed two large grapes.

It was a reckless waste, Su Wan shook her head frantically in her heart, raisins are not tasty, so why not make them into wine grape vinegar!

Thinking of this, Su Wan suddenly raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Of course no one buys grapes, so it doesn't matter if they are made into something else."

Song Xiaomei's eyes lit up when she heard the words, she knew that her third sister-in-law was very careful about food, and third sister-in-law was already the Song family's authority in terms of food. The sour plum soup that she asked herself to make last time was liked by everyone in the village. Unable to doubt, he hurriedly asked, "What can be done?"

Su Wan didn't answer, but just looked up at the grapes above her head: "When can these grapes be picked at the latest?"

"Pick off the ripe ones in the next few days, otherwise they will rot. You can wait another half a month for the others."

"This is the first time I've done it, and I'm [-] to [-]% sure, but I can't do it all at once. If you believe me, let's pick off what needs to be picked first." Su Wan looked at Song Xiaomei , "But let me show you the bottom line, if it works, at least it will make more money than the tea oil last time."

Song Xiaomei was a little hesitant when she heard the words, Su Wan didn't urge her, she just looked at the grapes in her hand and said nothing, after a while, Song Xiaomei gritted her teeth and said: "Listen to you, anyway, they are grown by themselves, and they can't be exchanged for money. To waste it is just to eat a few catties of grapes less!"

Su Wan was a little surprised, she thought Xiaomei Song would think about it for a long time, but she didn't know that she was so decisive, usually she was just a clever and cheerful little girl, unexpectedly she was a bit decisive, she had underestimated this girl in the past.

Song Xiaomei said again: "But before it's done, don't tell your parents. It's okay for your parents, but I'm afraid that the second sister-in-law will gossip again. It's really annoying."

"It's just that there are so many grapes missing all of a sudden, how could they not find out?"

"Now parents, brothers and sisters-in-law are all working in the town, where they take care of the food. When they come back at night, it will be dark, and they will go out at dawn in the daytime. Naturally, they won't pay attention to this." Song Xiaomei smiled slightly, unexpectedly I can't wait, "Sister-in-law three, what do you say, let's start now!"
