Chapter 50
In the afternoon, Chen Liu's team began to dig the foundation. Ding Shitou looked at the drawings and compared the lime lines on the site. After confirming that there was no problem, he went to work on his own.

That night, the five of them crowded together in the miscellaneous room, and got up before dawn the next day. After a hasty wash, Ding Shitou found space and took some apples and tomatoes for breakfast.

While eating, they picked up baskets and walked to the hillside outside the village. The spring morning was still cold, and sister Xiaofu wore a patched jacket, while Ding Shitou and Dingdian were shirts.

When they picked dewy shepherd's purse and filled a load of baskets, the sky began to brighten.

Ding Shitou and Ding Dian took turns to carry the burden. After returning, the three sisters began to wash the pot and water, and Ding Dian took out the shepherd's purse one by one and tied them into small bundles.

Ding Shitou took a bamboo basket and hurried to Jiang's house at the entrance of the village.The Jiang family has already woken up, and Jiang Huzi is waiting for the eggs by the chicken coop.

"Wait a little longer, it's raining hotly." Jiang Huzi hurried to the side and whispered.

Ding Shitou nodded, and told Jiang Huzi to rush home before dark, no matter how much he sold, he would give priority to paying for the eggs.

"I believe you. I'm worried that it must be very hard for you to enter the city with so many eggs." Jiang Huzi smiled softly.

"I went into town with Ding Dian's cart, and I cooked all the eggs, so I wasn't afraid of cracking the shell."

Ding Shitou calmly talked about today's business. It turned out that March [-]rd was coming soon, but it was a little early for her to sell boiled eggs with shepherd's purse.

"As expected of Brother Ding Shi, you are thoughtful." Jiang Huzi clasped his fists in admiration.

"It's not enough to be thoughtful. It depends on how the business is today. If it can be done well, it can be done for a while." Ding Shitou said with a smile.

But she didn't say that, in fact, the best place for business now is West Lake, which is not only a gathering place for spring tourists, but also a gathering place for small businessmen.

It's just that Nancheng Village is on the other side, and it's not close to the West Lake. They also had a hard time walking there.

Since they are used to walking long distances and are still very tired, I wonder if these peasant children who grew up in the village can persevere?

Not long after, Jiang Huzi's mother, Jiang Yuan, came out and said that today's eggs were all there.

Jiang Huzi hurried in to help pack the baskets, adding the ones he saved two days ago, there were 63 baskets in total.

"You look at the market first today. There is no new order for chickens in the past two days. The last two batches of chickens are about to hatch. Our family is not free. I can give you eggs."

"Okay, thank you." After Ding Shitou thanked, he was about to lift the basket.

"Come on, I've already had breakfast, so I'm going to your house." Jiang Huzi helped carry the basket, looking like a big brother.

When they arrived at Ding's house, everyone quickly washed and dried the eggs, and then put them into the pot to cook. There were already two handfuls of washed shepherd's purse in the pot.

When the pot was covered, Ding Shitou was about to use a small cart to fetch water. Jiang Huzi couldn't help but shook his head with a smile when he saw it, and took a shoulder pole to help them fetch two loads of water, filling the water tank half full.

The eggs were also out of the pot, and Ding Shishi put them in a pot, with the shepherd's purse in the pot underneath, and some hot water was still simmering, and then put the pot into a basket.

The other basket stood upright and was full of shepherd's purse tied into small bundles. Ding Dian said that there were more than 80 bundles tied up, and it was profitable to sell three bundles for two cents.

Although shepherd's purse is a wild vegetable, it is the time to eat it fresh. It is not a fresh food in the countryside, but it is different in the city.

It's just that people in the village don't go to the city every day, and only pick some to sell before the last episode.
