    ?

    Two people eating 20 catties of sweet potatoes would not last for a few days.

    This year's new food hasn't arrived yet, and when Xia Dajun comes back, he will definitely find Liu Fen to go back, but will the Xia family forgive Xiaolan?  Liu Fen was thinking about going back to her natal family tomorrow to find a way. Liu's family was also poor, but Uncle Xia Xiaolan was poor and generous, so she would never let her niece starve to death.

    Just as she was planning, Xia Xiaolan came back with a pile of dry branches, her eyes were bright, and she said she wanted to eat roasted sweet potatoes.  Seeing that she is in good spirits, Liu Fen is willing no matter how hard it is:

    "Okay, Mom will bake sweet potatoes for you."

    But Xia Xiaolan pushed the firewood aside, revealing the wild duck eggs.

    Liu Fen was also very happy. The wild duck egg was about the same size as an egg, and it looked like it was picked up in the reed marsh.  With this duck egg, Xia Xiaolan can replenish her body. Now that she is thin, the wind can blow her down, and Liu Fen feels distressed.

    "I'll cook another duck egg for you."

    There are no pots in the old dilapidated house, and the country people are not particular about it. It is absolutely fine to cook an egg in an enamel jar.  Xia Xiaolan stopped her mother: "Duck eggs can't be eaten now, and our good days have fallen on these wild duck eggs. Now the villagers are thinking about the grain in the field, and they don't have time to cut reeds. I want to find more wild duck eggs.  Sell ??them in the city Tonight we will go to the reed marsh, it would be nice to catch two wild ducks."

    Liu Fen has never done such a thing.

    The Xia family didn't have a separate family, and her mother-in-law and sister-in-law sold all the eggs they saved up in the city.  It takes two hours from Dahe Village to the county seat, and everyone will not go to the city if there is nothing to do.  But Xia Xiaolan was eloquent and eloquent, but Liu Fen couldn't speak to her daughter, and she was used to obedience, so she couldn't find anything to refute.

    The mother and daughter each ate a sweet potato. Liu Fen thought that if she wanted to sell duck eggs in the city, she must have at least two baskets.  She went outside to get some reed poles and came back, Liu Fen weaved two small baskets:

    "There are no tools, and I haven't soaked in water. It will definitely break after a month."

    Liu Fen pressed the reed basket with stones and put it in the river to soak. She still disliked her own craftsmanship. Xia Xiaolan already thought it was a weaving handicraft. Anyway, neither Xia Xiaolan knew this stuff!

    The mother and daughter were going to be "egg thieves" at night, and went to bed as soon as they finished weaving the baskets.  The door was unlocked and used wood to support it, and there was no bed in the room. Xia Xiaolan spread the floor with clean reed poles.  Fortunately, it is now August, otherwise this old dilapidated house with air leaks everywhere would freeze people out of order.

    ?There was no alarm clock, I had something on my mind, and I didn't sleep for long. Xia Xiaolan was awakened by the rustling sound. It turned out that Liu Fen had already fished the reed basket out of the river.

    "You sleep a little longer, Mom will go find it first."

    The reed leaves are hot when cut on a person's body. If the wild duck eggs were placed there, why would no one pick them up?  This is hard work, and Liu Fen doesn't want her daughter to suffer. 'Xia Xiaolan' was originally delicate and didn't do much farm work.

    Xia Xiaolan shook her head, "Two people go together."

    The two found it quickly and safely. They didn't even have a flashlight, so they could only use the moonlight.  Fortunately, the moonlight is strong tonight, and tomorrow will definitely be sunny again.

    Xia Xiaolan's mother and daughter carried small baskets and tried to find them in remote places.  The wild ducks were scared away when they touched the reeds, and they finally touched the wild duck's nest, which was empty.

    When the first clutch of eggs was found, the dogs in the cowshed were startled.

    The widowed old man who was looking at the cowshed was very alert: "Who is there!"

    The flashlight flickered twice, Liu Fen blocked Xia Xiaolan behind her, very shameless: " Uncle, it's me, pick up a few duck eggs to feed the child."

    "From the Dajun family?"

    Old Wang looked up and saw that the mother and daughter had grass clippings all over their heads.

    Dahe Village knew about Xia Xiaolan being kicked out of the house, and the old Wangtou didn't like Xia Xiaolan very much. Even if there was no problem with her style, this girl had no elders in her eyes, and she didn't even yell at anyone on weekdays.  But Liu Fen is very pitiful. Xia Xiaolan's forehead is covered with blood-oozing gauze. The old Wang thought for a while and handed the flashlight to Liu Fen:

    "Pay it back to me tomorrow."

    Liu Fen's grateful eyes turned red.

    Xia Xiaolan thought, Dahe Village is not all bastards, she is also very sincere:

    "Thank you, Grandpa Wang."

    Old Wangtou was a little surprised, he took a look at Xia Xiaolan, took the dog back to the cowshed, and no longer cared about the mother and daughter.

    With the help of a flashlight, the wild duck nests in this area will suffer.  Xia Xiaolan's mother and daughter walked for several hours, picked up seventy or eighty wild duck eggs, and put them in two reed baskets. Liu Fen was still a little dazed.

    In addition to duck eggs, they also found a brood of ducklings that had hatched.

    "It can be fed."

    All the fluff on her body has grown, and Liu Fen is very happy.

    Xia Xiaolan thought of that anti-gentlemanUnable to guard against the villain's dilapidated house, he shook his head: "It's hard to say which one is cheaper when you grow up. Let's sell it together."

    Liu Fen was a little bit reluctant.

    However, both she and Xia Xiaolan had problems eating by themselves, and raising a few wild ducks was indeed too conspicuous.

    The two went home and checked the eggs one by one. Adding the 12 that Xia Xiaolan picked up earlier, there were a total of 82 unhatched eggs.  Can't wait for dawn, Xia Xiaolan and Liu Fen set off into the city together, and took out two sweet potatoes from the ashes, which were the rations for the couple.

    Xia Xiaolan's first meal of roasted sweet potatoes was fresh and wild.

    Let's eat two meals in a row, she will not be happy in her heart.  Fortunately, she suffered a lot when she was a child, and she can still persevere in this situation. If she was dressed in another Bai Fumei, she would definitely be driven crazy on the first day.

    Only by surviving in this era can we expect a better life!

    Holding this belief, Xia Xiaolan hurried on her way, and when she arrived at the county seat, it was already light.  Dahe Village is poor, but Qing'an County has a bit of economic foundation. There is a large meat joint factory and agricultural machinery factory in the county, which support many workers.  The cattle raised in the cattle shed in Dahe Village are to be sold to the meat factory.

    Even the workers of the meat joint factory can usually get some meat, but eggs are not easy to buy.  In the townships below Anqing County, there are many pigs and cattle, but few poultry.

    "Where to sell?"

    There are two large factories in Anqing County, where the workers are rich, and the black market revolves around these two factories.  The benefit of the meat joint factory is good, and the workers have money in their pockets. According to Liu Fen, it is better to sell it next to the meat joint factory.

    Xia Xiaolan did the opposite:

    "Let's go outside the agricultural machinery factory."

    There are many workers in the agricultural machinery factory, and Xia Xiaolan is more familiar with this kind of factory.

    When we walked to the agricultural machinery factory, it was already dawn.  The workers in the factory were riding bicycles, and Xia Xiaolan saw a few people on the side of the road holding things in their hands, they seemed to be walking together That's great, some people were carrying chickens, and some were carrying freshly dug sweet potatoes, and there were no eggs for sale today  competitors.

    As soon as I found a place, an aunt with a vegetable bag came up:

    "Eggs for sale?"

    Xia Xiaolan didn't play tricks, "It's wild duck eggs, all fresh. If you like them, I'll sell them to you cheaper than eggs."

    If wild duck eggs are the same size as eggs and cheaper than eggs, it must be a good deal.  Whether the taste is delicate or not, it doesn't matter so much!

    Eggs at the market price cost 1.2 yuan per catty, and food stamps are also used. The eggs sold by farmers themselves are 1.5 yuan without food stamps.  Xia Xiaolan had inquired about it just now, she opened her mouth under her nose, and greeted people politely, with a sweeter mouth, and no one hid the selling price as a secret.

    Seeing that the aunt stood still and did not leave, she was obviously tempted, Xia Xiaolan knew it well:

    "If you buy less than 10, you will be charged 10 cents each, 10 or more will be 10 cents, and 20 or more will be 10 cents!"

    Her tiered promotional price made the aunt a little confused.

    ?It¡¯s a bastard not to take advantage of the cheap. I wanted to buy a few, but the aunt paid for 21 The aunt¡¯s life wisdom should not be underestimated.

    Xia Xiaolan took two and three yuan, and even wiped away the change of a penny.

    She handed the money to Liu Fen, but Liu Fen didn't recover.  A few sellers around were also looking at Xia Xiaolan. This girl looks alluring and enchanting. I didn't expect her to speak and do things with ease!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
