Chapter 950: The selfish and vain female supporting role (46)

 “Dad, Cheche!”

 Zhang Jinzi lay warmly in Zhang Li's arms and pointed at the small truck that was driving steadily from far to near.

 Zhang Li glanced at it and responded casually: "Yeah, eh, Cheche."

Unexpectedly, the car drove slower and slower, and finally stopped beside him.

　　　…”

He held his youngest son warily and took a step back. The next second, he heard the gentle voice of his eldest sister: "Ali, why are you still holding the gold and waiting in such a cold weather?"

"sister?"

 “Brother-in-law?”

"Yo! Why is Yin Yin driving the car? Did you... rent a car specially?"

 Three questions in a row made Xu Yin's family laugh.

"Yinyin bought this car. It's convenient for delivery. By the way, give the gold to Yinyin and help me carry the things up."

 As soon as the carriage door opened, Zhang Li was stunned.

 So many things?

　　This time when she returned to her parents’ home, Xu’s mother did bring a lot of things, but most of them were prepared by her daughter—

There are beef and mutton gift bags from her friends, fruit wine she brewed, dried fruits, and candied fruits, as well as gifts she bought when she went to Anshi, such as clothes, shoes and socks, and health care products for her elder brother. Cigarettes and skin care products for my brother and his wife, and puzzles and Lego blocks for my nephew were all bought at Anshi Shopping Center.

In addition, before going out, I also found some roasted chickens and ducks, a large box of biscuits, bread, and a change of clothes for a family of three, which completely filled the carriage.

 “What are you doing standing around? Move your things quickly!”

 Zhang Li came back to his senses: "Sister, are you going to deliver goods elsewhere?"

"Haha! No, no, these are all for you. Some are grown and raised at home, some were bought by Yinyin in Anshi, and some were given by her friends... Hurry! It's cold outside, don't let your children catch a cold. .”

 “This is too much!”

“If you think it’s too much, get some more tea seed oil later. Yinyin has a friend who likes to use this oil for cooking. She is the one who gave her these beef and mutton meats. I’ll give her a few more bottles of tea seed oil.”

 When Zhang Li heard this, it was not easy to handle?

 There is nothing else in Shanlizhai, but the camellia seed oil tube is enough!

His family has a small population, and they squeeze dozens of kilograms every year.

 Families with a lot of labor have planted a mountain of camellia trees. The tea seeds collected after the frost have a high oil yield and can squeeze hundreds of kilograms.

"How much does Yinyin cost? Twenty or thirty kilograms of what I squeezed by myself is enough. Any more will have to be bought from other people. Fortunately, there was a snowfall two years ago, and many people probably haven't squeezed out the new oil after the frost." Go out and sell.”

  Xu Yin immediately said: “I want as much as I want.”

Camellia seed oil pressed in the ancient way is something even those in the small world with money cannot buy.

  She had stocked up on some before, but after living in several small worlds, her inventory was running low, so she would certainly take this opportunity to stock up on more.

“Uncle, why don’t I go with you?”

 Let’s see if there are any other wild goods.

They all say "delicacies from the mountains and the sea." Wen County is far from the sea and there is no fresh seafood. It would be a good idea to stock up on delicacies from the mountains.

This reminded her of the small world in the 1980s, when she also had an uncle who lived in the mountains. At that time, she stocked up on all kinds of wild mushrooms, the rarest and most precious of which were red mushrooms.

 Zhang Li saw that she was interested, so he took her with him.

Shanli Village is located in the scenic area, with well-proportioned houses built along the stream.

The houses in Shanli Village are basically wooden buildings. The walls, stairs, and roofs are all wooden structures. Only the foundations are made of stones, which are hand-hewn and very smooth and flat. At a glance, you can tell which ones are your own residence and which ones are B&Bs built later.

“Uncle, are you interested in opening a B&B?”

 She thought that if Zhang Li wanted to open a B&B, she could invest in it.

In the last quarter of last year, several restaurants run by Chen Jiao were doing booming business. As a recipe provider, she received a bonus of more than 200,000 yuan. In the first quarter of the new year, business will not be bad at all.

Zhang Li listened to her question and shook his head: "Running a B&B also requires brains. My brain... Hey, your aunt always thinks I'm stupid. I don't expect to get rich anymore. I just hope that the food stall business will be better."

 As he was talking, a big tea seed oil company arrived.

Xu Yin stopped talking and concentrated on ordering tea seed oil.

One family was not enough, so other families also went to see it.

I also looked at the dry goods sold in various stores, but they were all ordinary shiitake mushrooms, fungus, and tea tree mushrooms. There were not many other kinds, such as red mushrooms, which were very rare. Xu Yin was a little disappointed.

On second thought, I thought it was normal. After all, the mountains now are very different from those in the 1970s and 1980s. Now they are contracted by village collectives and individuals. Most of them are planted with camellia trees, and a few are planted with tea trees, nut trees, and citrus trees.

 Hills are basically being used, and there are very few inaccessible mountains.

As a result, there will be fewer rare and precious wild mushrooms.

It’s rare to find some. People in the mountains don’t have enough to eat themselves or give them away, so they don’t even think of selling them.

Even if the products sold outside are advertised as wild, they are actually all artificially cultivated, which is nothing more than the quality of the cultivation environment.

Although there were no red mushrooms, the shiitake mushrooms and fungus looked like they were picked from the wild, and Xu Yin wanted them no matter how much they were.

In addition, there are chestnuts and large walnuts, which are all new products harvested years ago.

It’s not the time when new tea leaves are on the market. The freshest ones we buy now are those roasted last spring. Once spring comes, these are considered old teas. Zhang Li told his niece not to rush to buy them.

"New tea will be coming soon. If you want it, I'll keep an eye on it for you."

　　“Okay, please trouble uncle.”

 “What’s the trouble? It’s just a matter of words.”

 Zhang Li took her around the village.

When they came back, the two of them had baskets and bags in their hands. They made an appointment with several large camellia oil companies to order the number of kilograms of camellia oil, and they would help deliver it to the foot of the mountain on the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

Xu Yin's family had discussed it before they came: it was rare to accompany Xu's mother back to her parents' home, and since there was nothing else to do during the first month of the year, they could stay a few more days and go back on the sixth day of the lunar month.

Grandpa Xu is also very supportive of this: "It's rare to go back to your parents' home. Boss, please stay with your wife for a few more days. I'm at home, so why don't you worry?"

His legs and feet are much stronger now and he can move around normally, such as feeding chickens. What's more, Uncle Xu's family would go over to accompany him in the third grade of junior high school.

So the family of three decided to stay for four or five days. They had plenty of time and could teach Uncle Zhang how to roast beef and mutton.

 In this way, Grandma Zhang is the happiest person.

　　In previous years, my daughter would go back to her parents' home on the second day of junior high school, and she would go back after less than two days. She would come and go in a hurry, and her granddaughter would still come and go. She was busy with schoolwork when she was studying, and busy with work after graduation.

This time my granddaughter also came and said she would stay until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Grandma Zhang showed off her unique cooking skills and cooked all the special snacks and dishes of Shanlizhai for her granddaughter.

 Xu's father taught his brother-in-law how to roast beef and mutton dishes, Xu's mother and her sister-in-law chatted about household chores, and Xu Yin was fed by Grandma Zhang from time to time.

 Rice steamed buns, glutinous rice cakes with bean paste, bamboo tube chestnut rice, mint-filled sand cakes...are all Grandma Zhang's specialty snacks.
