Chapter 283 Gratitude
A dreamless night.
In the next few days, Xie Jiaojiao didn't go anywhere. She was either at home or in the fields. She also often visited the soy sauce factory.
Tian Hu did a very good soy sauce business in the city. Basically, every few days, he would arrange for people to come to his house to take away a large batch of soy sauce. Gao Shen also came to take away a batch these few days, saying that since the He family's transportation business has been expanded and the price is cheaper than that of the Jiang family, he would take more food back to do business.
He also asked Xie Jiaojiao to prepare some more fermented tofu for him!
Upon hearing what he said, Xie Jiaojiao quickly went to Zhang Tofu in the town and ordered a lot of tofu, which made Zhang Tofu very happy.
Because Xie Jiaojiao has always supported their business, they used to only serve individual customers, but now they have opened a tofu shop in the town!
But it’s the only one! So the business is good!
Seeing that Xie Jiaojiao ordered so much again, he even gave her a discount!
Li Yan'er watched Xie Jiaojiao busying herself with this and that all day long, and seeing that she did everything by herself, she couldn't help but admire her.
Privately asked Han Lu: "Are these the foods she came up with on her own?"
Hanlu nodded: "That's right, and I heard that the young lady made her fortune by selling fermented tofu and brown sugar."
Li Yan'er nodded slightly, and also saw the gap between herself and Xie Jiaojiao. Suddenly, she understood why Jiang Weinan chose Xie Jiaojiao instead of her.
After this batch of fermented tofu is made.
Xie Jiaojiao rested for two days and then she remembered that Niu Er’s preserved eggs might be ready to eat!
I hurried to Niu Er's house. Niu Er and his family of three were still making preserved eggs in the yard!
As soon as he saw Xie Jiaojiao coming, he quickly took off his gloves and greeted them.
After Xie Jiaojiao explained the purpose, Niu Er hurriedly took out the first batch of duck eggs.
Everyone was looking at Xie Jiaojiao. She knocked off the outer layer of the egg and was about to knock off the shell. Niu Er hurried to get the bowl, but the egg in the shell seemed to be cooked, but the color was different from that of a cooked egg. Xie Jiaojiao knew it was done as soon as she saw it.
Xie Jiaojiao's face lit up with joy and she asked Niu Er to count the number of eggs in the first batch so that she could pay him right away!
Niu Er was very surprised. He looked at the egg that Xie Jiaojiao had peeled. "Aunt Xie, why does this egg look the same as usual? This color, is it bad?"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and shook her head: "You don't understand, this is a preserved egg, it's this color, it doesn't look good, but it tastes delicious!"
He ate it right in front of them and nodded slightly: "This is the taste!"
Jiang Weinan didn't believe it, so he made one himself and frowned slightly: "What's this smell?"
When he finished eating, his eyes lit up again, as if it was quite delicious!
Niu Er and the others were stunned. Xie Jiaojiao asked them to try it themselves, but Niu Er waved his hand and did not try it. After all, to them, this was all money!
They were reluctant to spend even a single egg, let alone a duck egg at just two cents.
Xie Jiaojiao brought some back that day and made chopped pepper preserved eggs and cold-mixed preserved eggs for Sun Ruhua and the others in the evening. The whole family was so greedy that they ate so much that they still didn’t feel full!
On the second day, Xie Jiaojiao asked Lai Fu to drive two baskets of preserved eggs to Jiangbo City and told him how to make them.
Two days after the preserved eggs were delivered, Manager Wang came in person and said that the preserved eggs were in short supply like watermelons. He asked Xie Jiaojiao how many she had at home. Manager Gu from Jiangyang Mansion also wanted some!
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "I have as much as you want, so what's the silver worth?"
Steward Wang understood immediately: "Young Madam is really smart!"
Once the preserved eggs became popular, Niu Er's family became eye-catching in the village. After all, everyone was watching them!
Xie Jiaojiao and her family basically have to carry two baskets of things away from their house every day!
Everyone asked Mrs. Wang.
"What are these people from Xie Jiaojiao's family taking away from your house all day long?"
Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "What's the big deal? We have ducks at home, don't we? They just took away the duck eggs!"
Villager: ...
No one believed it at first, but when they saw Niu Er and Wang Xiuer picking up so many duck eggs all day long and not seeing them go to the town to sell eggs once, everyone began to believe it. But what they didn't know was that each time the eggs were taken away, they had been processed!
Xie Jiaojiao also reminded them not to let others know the processing method of the duck eggs, otherwise the eggs would be worthless!
Niu Er and his friends would certainly not shoot themselves in the foot, so they cleared the land in the backyard, picked up eggs every day, and went to the backyard to process them.
But the villagers were jealous of this. Two baskets of eggs a day! How much money would that cost every day?
Some people even came to ask Xie Jiaojiao's family if they needed duck eggs so that they could also raise ducks!
Xie Jiaojiao shook her head and said that what Niu Er’s family had was just enough and she didn’t want the extra.
Turning back, Xie Jiaojiao said to Niu Er that if they had the energy and time, they could raise more ducks. She could eat as many duck eggs as possible.
After listening to this, Mrs. Wang became even more grateful to Xie Jiaojiao!
"Jiaojiao, I don't know how to thank you!"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and shook her head: "Aunt Wang, we are mutually beneficial!"
Mrs. Wang couldn't argue with her, so she just said that as an old woman, she would definitely remember her kindness in her heart!
Because of this, Niu Er's family lived better and better. With money in the family, they naturally could not skimp on food anymore. Therefore, Mrs. Wang went to the town every now and then to buy some meat to nourish the two children!
On the other hand, Li Lihua knew that Niu Er was making a lot of money from the ducks he raised and was cooperating with Xie Jiaojiao, so there was a huge quarrel at home!
Pointing at Niu Fusheng, he cursed, "Niu Er and the others did it on purpose! If they had said that it was Xie Jiaojiao who asked him to raise ducks, could you and I have stopped them?"
Niu Fusheng was smoking a pipe nearby and smacked his lips. “What’s the point of you saying this now? This family has been divided!”
But Li Lihua didn't care and shouted at Niu Fusheng to go to Niu Er's house to ask for an explanation.
But Niu Fusheng felt that what explanation could he ask for?
He was the one who agreed to the separation in the first place, and it was because of raising these ducks that the family was separated. If he were to go after them now, wouldn't that be slapping himself in the face?
Li Lihua felt uncomfortable after hearing this: "What do you mean by slapping yourself in the face! We are separating, not breaking off the relationship! We are still family! Could it be that Niu Er and his family are living a good life and are seeing us eating coarse food here?"
"How could we eat bran and vegetables? Could it be that the bacon we ate today went into the dog's stomach?"
When Li Lihua heard this, she immediately started making a fuss. Niu Fusheng was annoyed by her and ran away from home to avoid any free time.
Many people greeted him on the road, and they all mentioned that Niu Er had become rich. Niu Fusheng felt happy but also unhappy when he heard this. He felt uncomfortable and went back. When he went back, he saw Li Lihua packing her things, and he immediately asked her where she was going!
Li Lihua said angrily: "Anyway, you must let Niu Er give me an explanation! Otherwise, I will go back to my parents' home and never come back!"
