Huazhi didn't know the exact number of them, but she estimated there were about a hundred or two hundred!

If all these pearls were sold, she would be rich, right?

But you can't sell it now. In two years, you can start a self-employed business. Then if someone opens an antique shop or jewelry store, you can go there and give it a try.

Huazhi thought that when the time was right, she would give each of her brothers and sisters ten pearls, and she would keep the rest for herself.

Huazhi found cotton cloth, wiped all the pearls one by one, and hid them in the cabinet where she kept her things. This cabinet belonged to Xiao Nan, and now it became a place where she kept her things, including her clothes, books, money, etc.

Today’s pearls are all inside.

After the new house is repaired, she will live in a room by herself and must not let anyone easily access her cabinet. It is not that she is worried about her family, but she is afraid that they will not know what it is, take it out for her, and then leak it.

Already.

It took a long time for Huazhi to clean and process all the clam meat. The clean clam meat filled two wooden basins, which weighed at least twenty kilograms. It couldn't be cooked in one pot.

so much.

Huazhi first boiled water and blanched the clam shell meat, and then started to cook it. She didn't cook so much at one time because she was afraid that the pot wouldn't be able to bear it, so she cooked it in batches, a few kilograms at a time.

Clam shell meat is fishier than snail meat. There is no way to wait until noon tomorrow to make it. We can only start making it now so that everyone can eat it for breakfast.

When Xiao Nan came back from selling the fish, Huazhi had already started cooking the second pot. When Xiao Nan saw some movement in the kitchen, he came over, a little worried and a little distressed, "Huazhi, why are you still working so late? You

Aren't you tired?"

"What can I do if I'm tired? If I don't make this clam meat quickly, wouldn't it be a waste if it smells bad at noon tomorrow? It won't be a problem to keep it for a few hours after it's done." Huazhi stretched out his hand to wipe the hair on his forehead.

Khan said to Xiao Nan, "Xiao Nan, go and clean yourself up quickly. Later, help me send a pot of clam shell meat to my uncle and second uncle's house."

Previously, Hua Zhi divided the money she got from Grandma Hua among everyone. The family shared more than 90 yuan, and then the eldest uncle and the second uncle's natal family directly bought the house that Xiao Nan lent them to live in. Later, they arrived

They buy things they need at home from the scrap recycling station, and now neither of them has much left.

Now I only eat food borrowed from the village, and I don’t dare to eat more.

Huazhi knew that both of their families were having a hard time, so she would naturally keep them in mind when good things happened. Didn't she remind her cousins ​​and cousins ​​to dry the snails before and prepare for the future?

He also told them how to eat crayfish. Eating crayfish once in a while can also relieve the food pressure at home.

When the second pot of clam meat was ready, Xiao Nan also came from outside with water vapor all over his body. The place where he lived now was occupied by Huazhi's family, and the kitchen was also occupied by Huazhi. The bathing place was also occupied by Huazhi.

No, he took a shower directly in the yard.

Huazhi asked Xiao Nan to give away all the clam meat cooked in the first two pots. Because the eldest uncle and the second uncle's family were both a family of four, and there was simply not enough food to eat, so he gave away two pots directly, and

She went on to make the third pot, the fourth pot...

When it was almost dawn, Huazhi climbed onto the bed to rest, and fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

The next morning, when everyone got up for breakfast, Xiao Nan explained, "Hua Zhi had been making clam meat for everyone last night. She didn't go back to the room to rest until the rooster crowed. She asked me to tell everyone that everyone should do it.

Just do what you have to do, there is no need to ask her to get up to eat."

Xiao Nan said, then looked at Hua Yu, "And Hua Yu, Hua Zhi asked you to call Hua Shuang and Hua Xue in the evening after everyone got off work, and go to your grandma's house together. She asked you to pick up big river mussels and peel them

Bring the meat back, don't touch anything else, bring it back and let her handle it."

Huayu nodded, "I understand."

We had agreed to go there in a few days, but why did we change it when we woke up? I don’t know why Huazhi changed like this, but when Huayu tasted the deliciousness of braised river mussels, she understood that it was so delicious.

Of course I have to buy more stuff and come back.

So the originally unwilling heart became more willing.

The mussel meat made by Huazhi was full of color and flavor. Even if it was reheated in the morning, it still tasted very good. Everyone ate the mussel meat made by Huazhi completely, and no one even thought of leaving some for Huazhi.

However, when Huazhi was processing river mussels last night, she had already eaten half a bowl, so she wasn't so greedy.

After that, Huayu and Huafeng took turns taking their cousins ​​to their grandmother's house every night. They brought back a lot of water celery and clam meat every day. The taste of water celery was a bit overpowering, and not everyone liked it.

eat.

There are only four people in the uncle's and second uncle's families, so they don't consume much water celery. A basket of water celery can last for several days. However, when Hua Yu and Hua Feng asked them to come with them, they would still pick them and then eat them.

I handed the pinched water celery to Huazhi.

Water celery cannot be dried and stored, so Huazhi had to ask Xiao Nan to sell water celery when he was selling fish in the evening. The water celery was all sorted and tied into bundles with straw. Each bundle cost a penny, and there were almost half of the bundle.

It weighs a pound.

Xiao Nan doesn't go to the hospital to sell fish every day. When he sold fish before, he said it was to pay for his grandparents' medical treatment and buy medicine. He goes to the hospital every day. The staff inside can guess how much money he makes, and he will definitely do it.

I wonder if he has earned so much, isn’t it enough to cover his medical expenses?

Just because he didn't want to be suspected, Huazhi asked Xiao Nan to go to major factories and schools, because in these places, there would be people guarding the gates at night, and the gate guards knew many people, and in addition, they were usually the family members of the leaders, and there were many people at home.

If you don’t lack money, you will definitely buy something rare if you encounter it.

Facts have proved that Huazhi's idea was right. Not only did they pay for it, but sometimes they would even buy everything in Xiao Nan's hands by themselves, probably to give it away or to make friends.

In this way, Xiao Nan not only made money, but also saved a lot of time.

Now Xiao Nan goes out to sell three things every night, fish, cooked taro and water celery. In the past, he and Huazhi could get three or four yuan a day, but after selling more things, they could get five or six yuan a day.

.

It is already considered very good.

And now with the support of taro and water celery, there is no need to worry about not being able to make money after catching fish.

Of course, water celery is mainly picked by cousins, so Huazhi gives them 10 cents of hard-earned money every day. However, she does not give them this money immediately. She plans to wait until her salary is paid.

give them.
