A small breakfast shop in the street market, supporting the family and making money

After the whole family gathered, Lan Niang had no choice but to eat the meat bun in her hand carefully bit by bit. She felt that the taste was really good and it was a kind of happiness she had never tasted before.

Grandma Niu coaxed her granddaughter, fed her some meat buns, and briefly recounted the process of selling crayfish today.

Lan Niang's hands were shaking with excitement. "Are they really all sold out? Do you still want us to deliver goods in the future?"

She asked questions one after another in disbelief, and even Xing Yaer's eyes widened.

"It's true, mom. The crayfish are selling very well at the Leng family. We will have income every day from now on."

Niu Dazhuang gave a positive answer, "When our family earns money, we will be able to eat full meals every day and build a new house.

"So what are we waiting for? Let's go catch some crayfish!"

Xing Yaer stuffed the meat bun that she had been reluctant to eat into her mouth, stood up, called her two brothers, and walked out with the basket.

Seeing this, the whole family followed, all looking forward to the arrival of good days in the future.

The small river in front of the Niu family’s house is not very deep, but the aquatic plants are particularly lush.

When a few people arrived carrying baskets, they first collected the crayfish cages that had been set yesterday.

Because people of this era rarely ate crayfish, almost every cage had a good harvest of crayfish.

After Niu Dazhuang collected all the cages in one breath, he looked at the crayfish in the baskets and felt that the number was still not enough.

After pouring the crayfish in the cage into the basket and wooden barrel and then into the river one by one, Niu Dazhuang, Xingya'er and Niu Erzhuang rolled up their trouser legs and caught crayfish in the bushes on the shore.

Grandma Niu is too old to go into the water, and Lan Niang is weak and must not catch a cold, so the two of them can only help on the shore.

Therefore, after the three brothers and sisters worked busy in the river for nearly an hour, Niu Dazhuang wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt that it was not working well because there were not enough people and the efficiency was too low.

The amount of goods that the Leng family needs to deliver tomorrow will be even greater than today, and it is unlikely that the three siblings alone can handle it.

Niu Dazhuang thought for a while, went ashore first and called out to Grandma Niu.

"Grandma, this won't work. We are too slow to catch them. There are so many crayfish in the river now. It will take us a long time.

If we catch them every day after a while, the crayfish in the river will learn to hide, and it will probably take more effort, and we may not be able to supply the Leng family in time."

Niu Dazhuang expressed his doubts, and Grandma Niu immediately understood the reason and looked worried.

"Yes, that's right. Apart from anything else, if we can't supply the goods, it will delay Lengji's business, which will be bad."

Seeing this, Niu Dazhuang expressed his thoughts.

"Grandma, should we ask Village Chief Niu for help? Let him ask the poor families in our village to help catch crayfish first, and then we can buy them."

"This way we can not only supply goods in time, but also allow villagers to earn some money and improve their lives.

The villagers have always taken good care of our family. Now that we have a way to make money, we should also think about them. "

Niu Dazhuang said, "And I see that there are many people raising chickens and ducks in our village. Leng Ji runs a food store, so he must buy a lot of eggs, chicken, vegetables and the like every day.

And our village happens to have some, so if Lengji needs it, we can cooperate with him."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Niu couldn't help but look at her eldest grandson in surprise.

"That's right. The villagers have been kind to us, and we really need to repay their kindness. You will accompany me to the home of Village Chief Niu to discuss this matter."

"As for the chicken, vegetables and other things..."

Granny Niu thought for a moment and said, "Let's not talk about it for now. I think Lengji has its own cooperative vendors. We just need to focus on supplying Lengji with crayfish..."

The grandfather and grandson discussed some things and then went to the home of Village Chief Niu.

Niujia Village is a small village located in a remote area with only 20 to 30 households in the whole village.

Most of the people in the village have the same surname. Therefore, although every household lives in a tight situation, they are extremely united and enthusiastic, and the customs are simple and honest.

So Grandma Niu and the other person found Village Chief Niu and explained their purpose, and Village Chief Niu was also very excited.

"Does anyone really want to buy the red worms in the river?"

Seeing Granny Niu nod, Village Chief Niu gradually calmed down and said happily:

"Okay, okay. There are plenty of red worms in our village river. Every household can fish for them and get a few pounds. They are all worth a lot of money."

Niujia Village is poor and has no other income except farming.

There is a good opportunity right in front of him, how could Village Chief Niu let it go?

He immediately convened a meeting in the village and told the matter, after which dozens of households in the village formed a team.

Today, these families will go to the river to catch crayfish and supply them to Niu Dazhuang's family. Tomorrow, those families will go to catch crayfish and supply them to Niu Dazhuang's family.

Then the goods are delivered to Niu Dazhuang's house and then to Leng Ji in Hulu Town.

After the distribution is made in this way, the villagers will have some income every few days, and it is fair to every family.

As for the price of purchasing crayfish, Niu Dazhuang's family also discussed it.

Leng Ji charged two cents per pound of crayfish, and as a middleman, Niu Dazhuang's family could not avoid making a profit.

Therefore, Niu Dazhuang's family bought crayfish from the village at the price of three cents per two kilograms, and they only made a copper coin for every two or three kilograms.

But even so, Niu Dazhuang's family feels quite satisfied. Compared with the past, the income now gradually accumulates and is also a considerable amount.

When the villagers of Niujia Village learned about this, they were all very happy.

"Really? These red worms can really be sold for money. They are only three copper coins for two kilograms. The ducks I raise eat only two or three copper coins a day!"

"Yes, yes, yes, look at this basket of mine. It's filled with red worms that I just caught. I was going to take them home to feed the chickens and ducks. Now I can actually sell them for money. Is it that easy to make money?"

"Yes, yes. If you put down a few cages, you can collect more than ten kilograms of red worms a day, and you can sell them for ten or twenty copper coins."

There were many villagers who could not believe it, but they could not help but believe what Village Chief Niu said. Finally, after confirming with Niu Dazhuang's family again and again, they calmed down their excitement and thanked the Niu family again and again for thinking of the villagers when they had such a good livelihood.

"Don't be like that. We are lucky to have met a noble person." Granny Niu waved her hands repeatedly to stop the villagers from coming forward to thank her. She just roughly told them how the Leng family had helped them.

"We should thank the owner of Lengji Food Store. He is a kind person."

Upon hearing this, the people of Niujia Village expressed their gratitude again.

Although each household only has a chance to sell every few days, it is much better than the previous days when it was difficult to make any income.
