Chapter 206 Liu's Parents
With their deliberate publicity, many aunties and grandmas came with basins and bowls soon.
After all, this is where they grew up and they are related by blood, so everyone trusts the Liu family very much.
Boss Zhou also gave everyone a zero, which made everyone even happier.
When they left, everyone asked them to come back next time.
Liu was so moved that she was sniffing.
Boss Zhou sat aside and laughed, "See, I told you it would come. Hurry up and wipe your nose. Let's go to the next road."
Liu wiped her tears with a smile and wiped the table.
The donkey cart stopped and started, and soon went around Liujiazhuang.
When she finally turned to the road leading to her home, Liu saw her cousins coming over.
After selling all the jelly in their hands, the brothers and sisters had a good time together.
This time, Liu couldn't hold back and tears accidentally flowed down.
The jelly in the bucket is no longer sold, but given to them directly after being mixed.
"Xiao Lian, you haven't been home for a long time. Go home and see your parents. They keep talking about you. Tiezi is still the same as before. He doesn't cause trouble but he doesn't do anything serious either."
Uncle Liu's words were very pertinent. Although he was the eldest of his branch, he should not be too strict with his nephew.
"Got it, uncle. Shouren and I will be there soon."
Leading the donkey, the three of them walked into the alley.
Liu wiped her tears and took off her apron.
"Boss, is my hair messy?"
Boss Zhou smiled and said, "It's not a mess. My wife is watching over me."
Liu pushed open the half-open door and called out to her parents as soon as she entered.
There were two hunched figures in the small kitchen, eating at the table.
Hearing this, he raised his head and saw the person coming, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"My dear, why are you here at this time? Is it time for dinner?" Old Mrs. Liu held her daughter's hand, and after the shock, her heart was filled with joy.
"Dad, Mom, Shouren and I haven't eaten yet. We are going around the village selling things, so we came over to take a look." Liu's eyes were filled with tears. When she came back this time and saw her parents, they seemed a little older.
"Why haven't you eaten yet? Old man, go get some steamed buns. The fire at the bottom of the pot is still on. It's a good time to heat them up."
Grandpa Liu took the basket and turned around to get the steamed buns, while Boss Zhou brought over the mixed jelly and braised pork from the car.
As a son-in-law, he was very tactful. He sat in front of the stove and started adding firewood.
Old Mrs. Liu picked up the basin and took a look. "Is this what you are selling? It smells strange to me. Can you sell it?"
"Mom, sure. Try it and see how it tastes."
Mrs. Liu picked up the chopsticks and asked Old Lady Liu to taste it. She was afraid that the old couple would find it too spicy, so she only put a little bit of chili.
"Hmm, it tastes good. I think your braised meat tastes better than before."
After tasting the food, Old Lady Liu knew that her daughter could do well in this business.
"Yes, I have improved the braised pork recipe. Mom, why don't I see Tiezi's family?"
Liu was puzzled because she hadn't seen her brother and sister-in-law, nor her nephews and nieces since she entered the house.
"She went to her parents' home. It's just good that they are not here. There's no need to be so upset. Just leave quickly after dinner to avoid meeting them." Old Mrs. Liu felt upset whenever she mentioned her son's family, but she couldn't help it.
Seeing this, Liu smiled and said, "Okay, it's just a coincidence that I came here today. Next time when I have time, I will bring the children to see you."
With the cold dishes, Liu and Zhou ate their fill.
Because they had an unpromising son, Mrs. Liu and her family did not live as well as their other neighbors.
Before leaving, Liu discussed with Zhou Lao Da and counted out twenty copper coins for the old couple.
The old couple were so moved that they sent the man to the village entrance before leaving.
There were not many jelly and braised pork left in the donkey cart, only twenty or thirty portions at most. They shouted on the way home, and they were all sold out within two villages.
"Boss, we still have two buckets of jelly at home. Let's go home and continue selling them."
Liu suggested.
They originally wanted to try their luck, but they didn't expect everyone to be so supportive. They brought out two buckets of jelly and a plate of braised meat, which were almost all sold out.
"Haha, okay. I'll go around the remaining villages this afternoon to see if my uncle's lambs have spawned."
The village that Boss Zhou wanted to go to in the afternoon happened to include his uncle's village.
"Yeah, okay. I can't handle it alone. Shao Cuifen can't handle it alone. My shoulders hurt from fatigue."
"I'll give you a massage when we get home."
Because all the things in the car were sold and the weight was much lighter, the journey back home was quick.
When they got home, it was only around two o'clock in the afternoon.
Everyone was curious whether this method of selling things in the countryside would work, but who knew that everything they took out was sold out.
Everyone admires Boss Zhou and Mrs. Liu.
"Those of you who are staying at home, don't stop. Prepare the things you will need for tomorrow. We will sell the remaining things at home later."
Boss Zhou brought some tea and talked about the afternoon plans.
Old Mrs. Zhou interrupted at the right time, "I think it's going to rain again, so let's do less. You don't have to be so tired. You should take a rest after being busy for so many days."
"Mom is right, big brother, you should just rest at home today. I'll drive for you." Zhou Laosan took over the conversation.
He can also go around the village to sell things.
"Well, you better be steady and shout more frequently."
Boss Zhou said this with a smile, feeling that Third Brother Zhou was not cut out for this job.
"Don't worry, I don't know how to do this. Even if you haven't eaten pork, how can you have never seen a pig run?! Besides, I know a lot of people in the villages you mentioned, and I have many good friends."
After Liu rested for a while, her two sisters-in-law and brother-in-law went out.
Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao Er were busy with housework at home.
Because of the rain, they did not go to the slaughterhouse to buy meat, so they did not have to worry about braising the meat today.
All you need to do is make two buckets of jelly to sell.
It's a rare day of leisure, so the whole family is working and chatting in the yard.
"Big brother, second brother, I just saw at the door that many vegetables in our vegetable garden have been washed crooked by the heavy rain. After you are done with your work, go to our garden and take a look. If our corn is crooked, you can shovel some mud to pad it."
"Got it, mom. We'll go there soon."
Zhou Mingzhi and Zhou Mingjie picked up a lot of wood ear mushrooms and some ground ear mushrooms on the mountain.
Old Mrs. Zhou was washing these things with a few children.
It's covered with weeds and mud, making it difficult to clean.
The ground is still very sticky now, so we have to pick up the corn now. If we wait until tomorrow, the corn will be too hard to pick up.
The two brothers picked up the mung beans and went there with a shovel.
