Qiong Yin lingers

Chapter 21: Innovation in Selling Vegetables
In [-], Cold Dew.

Sanya, the third market.

Huang Donghua looked at the cart of green sweet potato leaves, and couldn't laugh or cry: "Sister Mei, aren't you afraid that the leaves will be rotten on the road?"

Huang Simei approached him mysteriously and said: "I have tried it: I cut them off at home and put them in a frame. After three days, they are still intact. Look, the leaves are green and shiny. With a hint of yellow and withered."

Hearing that Huang Simmei priced a small bundle of sweet potato leaves at 2 yuan, Huang Donghua's eyes turned into copper bells: "Sister, what we sell are green vegetables, not gold, this...we are in the village, this is the vegetable that feeds pigs, a handful Wouldn't two dollars be too much?"

Huang Simei was full of confidence, and patted him on the shoulder: "As the saying goes, things are rare and expensive. This is a new breed that everyone has never seen before. I watched TV, learned a trick, and named it 'Green Pearl' '. Look, fold this bar, be careful not to break the tendons, and then change the direction and fold it... Look, isn't this a string of pearls? Just hang it in front of the booth and tell everyone , this 'Green Pearl' is crisp, tender, refreshing, fresh and delicious. In addition, this big handful weighs two catties, has a lot of weight, and has a good taste-you can sell it!"

Touching his head, Huang Donghua opened his mouth several times in a daze, but couldn't come up with the advertisement words. In the end, someone was a little curious when he saw the strings of hanging sweet potato leaves, and asked, "What kind of food is this? How to fry it?"

Only then did Huang Donghua mutter: "This, this is the ground, sweet potatoes..."

Huang Simi quickly pulled him, stood in front of him and said with a smile: "This is a green pearl unique to our Erxian Village. It is taken from the tip of the latest variety of red heart potato. You can only harvest about ten per acre of land. Jin, is the essence of this red heart flour and potato essence. The method is also very simple, put more oil, add garlic and fry until fragrant, then pour in the washed green pearls, stir fry over high heat, and cook in two to three minutes, the whole family can eat Eat this pure natural healthy green pearl vegetable. If you have sauce at home, just add some shrimp paste and fermented bean curd, it will have a special flavor..."

Originally a curious passer-by, when Huang Simi said it, he immediately felt tongue-tied: "I have a lot of family members, give me two!"

After seeing off the first customer, Huang Simei looked at Huang Donghua with a smile: "They say what is sold at the top of the market, and what is sold at the end of the market. I made a good start for you. I will leave the rest of the car to you!"

Huang Donghua had a bitter face and almost cried.Because in his heart, this is pig feed, and it costs two yuan a piece. He really has a conscience and cannot sell it.

Huang Simei couldn't stand up straight because of his bitter face: "Come on! I won't go back to Erxian Village with the car today, and help you sell the sweet potato leaves first, bah, green pearls - don't miss it when you pass by, healthy Nutritious and pollution-free, eating green pearls from Erxian Village will make you as beautiful as a three-month-old mother..."

Her voice is very clear and sweet, plus she usually sings with abdominal breathing, full of air, and with the habitual long trailing voice when singing, the catchy commercials are as good as singing It sounds good.

Following Huang Simi's yelling, more and more people watched the excitement, and there was an endless stream of people who started to buy green pearls.

As Huang Simei said, after living a good life, the first thing people want to satisfy most is appetite: first, the cost will not be high, and it is the easiest to achieve; second, what people eat is their own, this kind of The feeling of satiety and delicious taste in the throat makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally.

A cart of "Green Pearls" was sold out within three hours.

Huang Donghua was dumbfounded: "Sister Mei, your speed is even more ruthless than my brother's selling seafood back then!"

Although Huang Simi knew it was a new product, she didn't expect it to sell so quickly.

Being praised by Huang Donghua, she felt a little embarrassed. She rubbed her nose and smiled and said, "Earth snails are only two or three yuan a catty. Buying three or five catties is just a taste for the whole family. My five yuan is enough for the whole family." It’s different, of course. By the way, there is a carload of sweet potato leaves every ten days and a half months.

Huang Donghua was so excited that he rubbed his hands together: "If Brother Nian knew, he probably didn't want to go to sea, he just wanted to come back and do business."

The two looked at each other and smiled, Huang Simi hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't help reminding: "The position of the troupe's raw feet is still waiting for you, don't forget the basic skills."

"Sister Mei, don't worry, even if I don't eat or sleep, I dare not stop practicing! Otherwise, if Grandma's stick falls, I won't be able to bear it!"

In the Dongfang Qiong Opera Troupe, Meng Huaxiang got up early every day to practice, and would patrol with a slender bamboo pole. Anyone who did not practice well would be beaten.

Huang Donghua has been beaten a lot since he was a child. He laughed and said that he was the least talented, but now, the talented Li Dongming and Lin Jiaojiao have long since left, but he is still there.

Therefore, sometimes, blessings and misfortunes depend on them, and misfortunes and blessings contain them.

After selling the sweet potato leaves, Huang Simi bought some snacks and hurried to the bus station.

Nowadays, the traffic in various places is becoming more and more developed, and there are many more buses traveling on the national highway.

Sigeng Village, a neighboring village of Erxian Village, all have business acumen. Their families are in good condition. They took the lead in buying a bus and commute to Sanya twice a day. The business is also booming.

For Huang Simei's return trip, she had to take a bus for more than three hours, get off at Basuo Triangle Park in the urban area, and then take a tractor or minibus, and continue shaking on the potholed concrete floor for two hours before arriving at Dongfang Qiong Opera Troupe .

On the way back to Erxian Village, there were already thousands of lights.

As the seven-color clouds retreated behind the mountain, the moon quietly climbed up, like a layer of translucent tulle covering the world.

On both sides of the road, the bright red kapok looks very lonely in the flickering lights.

There is very little smoke in the distance, but it carries the hustle and bustle of the world, making people's hearts quiet.

It's just that the bumpy loess road was shaken violently from time to time, which made Huang Simei's buttocks bloom and tears flowed, making her instantly return from the ideal of the world to the desolation of reality.

Huang Simei looked at the shadowy forests on both sides of the road, stretching one after another, and felt infinitely sad: No wonder the business of the teahouse in Erxian Village is still up and down as the promotional vehicles have been stepped up recently.

From Dongfang City to Erxian Village, it takes one or two hours of bumps. If you come from ten miles and eight villages, you have to walk several kilometers for the nearest one, which takes an hour.

If you are free, it is a good thing to come here to drink tea, watch plays, and listen to music, but if you are busy, who wants to spend time bumping into the village?

What's more, there are movie theaters in the east now, and singing and dancing performances continue every month. Compared with the teahouses in Erxian Village, such new things are more attractive.

To develop, we have to go out or bring in.

Going out, leaving Erxian Village, Meng Huaxiang must not be happy.

Even in the most difficult time, the ten-mile and eight-country tour did not receive any money, and Meng Huaxiang would rather sell her jewelry than give up the Oriental Theater Troupe or leave Erxian Village.

But if you stay in Erxian Village, the current path you can take is Li Jinxing Village, taking the road of cultural characteristics, making the villagers rich and then building roads;

But right now, without building roads, it is difficult to get rich.

Building roads and getting rich seem to form a strange cycle of paradox.

Nothing can be done!

*
When people are quiet, they always think a lot.

For example, at this moment, Huang Simi thought of the heartlessness of Li Dongming and Lin Jiaojiao, and then thought about the future of the Dongfang Qiong Opera Troupe, the prospect of local goods entering the city, and the desolate scene of Erxian Village...

Looking up at the bright moon hanging above her head, Huang Simi felt a sense of sadness in her heart, she couldn't help thinking, and hummed a little song softly.

"The heart trembled when I returned home after delivering the goods. I looked up at the bright moon and burst into tears. Recalling the past, the past is hard to look back, and there are bursts of pain and sorrow. Erxian Village contains the tenderness of the countryside, and many dreams are left in it.

Hey Mingyue, since the day when the wasteland was opened up, longing has always been in my heart: I vow to save Qiongju from poverty, and I will go through all kinds of hardships.I once thought about setting up a stall and going to the sea to do business, but unfortunately, the old mother at home was poor.

To be a helper, who would have thought that a shrewd young man would change his mind, miss me, and be full of joys and sorrows: a happy young man, he will soar out of the sea of ​​bitterness, and live happily in Kyushu; Plan ahead.

Why do butterflies want to pick flowers and keep themselves?Why, Qiong Yao agrees with Papaya to stay?Why do couples get together less and leave more?Why, body desires away from heart sorrow?Hey wild chrysanthemum, which one will you bloom in late autumn, why don't you harvest the spring scenery?In Russia, my heart has already flown, whether I am resentful, sad, sad, or hated, the more the mess becomes more chaotic.

Lin Jiaojiao, tears rolling down in sorrow, I can only swallow the tears; She said yes, thank you for helping the villagers, and I am also, with all my heart to help the poor.

Although friendship is considered priceless, gathering and dispersing fails to satisfy people's hearts.

I am a playwright who wants to change when I am poor, and it is difficult for the enemy to devour me.

Let it go, let's control this with passion, and hope that she and him will go straight to the blue sky from now on. "

This emotional "Looking at the Moon and Tears" is originally from "The Prince's Love Returns to the Beggar Girl". Huang Simei has played the "beggar girl" in the play countless times. Good luck tricks people.Now on the way back, suddenly thinking about how Li Dongming and Lin Jiaojiao wantonly smeared himself and the Qiong Opera Troupe in the village for several months, he couldn't help feeling sad, and adapted his injustice into an aria and sang it out.

Several elders from Erxian Village were sitting in the car. After hearing Huang Simei's singing, they couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Ah Mei, but what difficulties did the Qiong Opera Troupe encounter?"

These old people like to go to the teahouse to drink tea when they have nothing to do on weekdays, and they have a good impression of the Qiong Opera Troupe.

It's a pity that they are old now, and the farming at home has been handed over to their children and grandchildren. They don't know the recent "turmoil" in Erxian Village.

Huang Simei quickly wiped away her tears, nodded lightly and said, "I'm sorry, but it's too embarrassing. I remembered the story in the play, and I was so moved that I cried. All I sang were the stories in the play..."

She clearly explained that there is no silver 300 taels here, but the old people happily praised her for singing with sincerity: "Girl, your adapted aria is more exciting than any teahouse excerpts in the past! How about it, the fifteenth day of this month's teahouse performance, you sing this part!"

This is Huang Simi's self-pitying libretto. Naturally, she expresses her true feelings, but how dare she go on stage to sing?
Before, she only made complaints at the dinner table, saying that Li Dongming and Lin Jiaojiao were nothing, but Meng Huaxiang scolded her: In the eyes of the old man, Li Dongming and Lin Jiaojiao were just a momentary distraction ,go astray.

Meng Huaxiang often educates Huang Simei and Zhang Shennian, saying that as the heads of the troupe, they should be tolerant.

Even if the younger generation really did something wrong, the theater troupe should be happy for them, and repay their grievances with virtue, without any resentment or injustice.

At that time, Huang Simei murmured, "How can I repay my grievances with kindness", but I still didn't dare to contradict Meng Huaxiang too much.

Nowadays, because Li Dongming and Lin Jiaojiao don't talk about martial arts, Huang Simimei focuses on making innovative products and Li Jin goes to sea, which is indeed a blessing in disguise. Now this cart of sweet potato leaves has the harvest of the previous cart of local goods.

In the future, the harvest of vermicelli and cassava will also bring good income.

Thinking of this, Huang Simei made up her mind: Comrade Xiaoping said, "It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat." In the tide of the market economy, only those who are brave enough to be trendy can enjoy the first wave of dividends.

Now that she wants to be trendy, she has to go through all kinds of wind and rain. After Zhang Shennian's real estate investment failed, she still went to Yangpu to seek a way out, which can be described as persevering.

She just encountered a little difficulty in purchasing local goods, which is insignificant compared to Zhang Shennian's deep and shallow feet when the whole village received goods!

Thinking of this, Huang Simei thought about it, and first mobilized Li Jinzhiniang's ten families, "let some people get rich first." In the future, if the Qiong Opera Troupe breaks out of its cocoon and becomes a butterfly, she will help her mother-in-law fulfill her wish and build a flat road for Erxian Village. Dalu, let more people come to Erxian Village, watch Qiongju performances, and drink tea.

On the road to your dreams, twists and turns are always inevitable.

This little episode between Li Dongming and Lin Jiaojiao once made Huang Simei doubt her life, but Meng Huaxiang was more open-minded than her, and kept telling her that it would be better to look forward.

Although Huang Simi was aggrieved and dissatisfied many times, but now bumping on this loess road, she seems to have opened up the two veins of Ren and Du, and began to understand her mother-in-law: Maybe, because the moon is too bright tonight, it makes people's hearts open; maybe, It is Huang Donghua's perseverance and sincerity that made her no longer doubt the darkness of human nature; perhaps, it is because the sweet potato leaves are selling so well today that she sees hope for the future.

All in all, listen to the old man, eat enough, sleep well, and look forward!

As soon as Huang Simei arrived home, Zhang Wenxuan and Zhang Wenqian threw themselves into her arms and acted like a baby. She took out snacks and stuffed them for the children, and then called out a room full of weavers: "I bought a small cake, come and taste it!"

Zhong Lihua angrily complained that she was wasting money buying snacks, and she was reluctant to eat small cakes.

Huang Simei opened the small cloth bag and took out a handful of banknotes: "Guess everyone, how much did our carload of sweet potato leaves sell for?..."

Everyone stretched their necks, staring curiously at the small cloth bag in her hand.

Although the "innovation" in Huang Simimei's mouth sounds very novel, but everyone is still upset about the transformation of "pig feed" into "vegetables".

It's just that they were all afraid of hurting Huang Simi, so they didn't dare to speak out.

In addition to this day of waiting, until the sunset and the west mountain, Huang Simei hadn't come back yet, and the weavers sighed even more, thinking that this "pig feed" would not be in the elegant hall, and it seemed that this innovation was going to fail.
