MTL - I am a Good Man-Chapter 518 The husband of an educated youth (11)

The imperial capital in August was a bit cooler in the early morning, the sky just turned white, and the gate of a courtyard in Beierdaojie opened.

"Be careful and lift it slowly." Ye Jiao said as he reached out and stroked the dangling hair, his tone was gentle.

"Daughter-in-law, stand there." Ji Yang held the cart with one hand, and pointed the other hand in the direction next to him.

"Good." Ye Jiao walked over quickly.

Ji Yang lifted vigorously, loaded the iron pot on the cart, and then pushed forward, Ye Jiao following him.

The two have been in the imperial capital for a while, and they have been on the green leather train for nearly five days.

The Siheyuan is rented, with more than 900 yuan saved before, which is their only source of security.

The two went to the city center with their carts. It was a long street with many factories nearby. Now the people in blue overalls rushed to work.

Someone was riding a bicycle, carrying a green bag, and occasionally a car passed by, and the building next to it was much more advanced than their town.

Everything, Ye Jiao opened his eyes.

As soon as Ji Yang stopped, she put away her thoughts, and quickly began to prepare, putting all the things to sell.

He lifted the lid of the iron pan, added another briquettes underneath, then took down the small table and a few wooden benches and set them aside.

"How much is the tea egg?" A man walked over and pointed.

"25 cents a." Ye Jiao stood up and smiled back to him.

"Does it sell for four cents?" The man began to bargain.

"Yes." She nodded, then quickly picked up two, took the money and then found change again, "Go slowly."

"Here is a tea egg."

"Here you are."

"Is there any mung bean soup today?" a bicycle stopped and the girl with braids asked.

"Yes, it's still hot." Ye Jiao nodded.

"Help me put it inside." She said and handed the kettle over.

"It's a bit hot, I'll come." Ji Yang reached out and took it, opened another pot, stirred it twice with a spoon, and a rush of heat rose.

"Mung bean porridge is a cent." Ye Jiao said to the girl, and then took the money from the other party.

At the peak time, the husband and wife were very busy, so they sold tea eggs and mung bean soup.

A bowl of soup with a tea egg, the soup is refreshing, the tea egg white is fragrant, not greasy and nutritious.

The two tables were filled with people, and the business was very good.

Working until ten thirty in the morning, there were one-third of the tea eggs left, and some mung bean porridge, so the two could rest for a while.

Ye Jiao wiped his sweat, Ji Yang took down the tall stool and placed it next to her, "Sit down and rest for a while."

"Will the tea eggs be boiled a bit too much? I cooked five hundred eggs today." Ye Jiao looked at the iron pan with some worry.

In the past, only 300 pieces were cooked, and they sold very quickly, so today I cooked 500 pieces. The cost is a bit high. She is afraid that she will lose money if she sells them.

"If you can't sell it, you can sell it in the afternoon." Ji Yang didn't worry, and smiled a few words, "You can eat more than you can?"

"I can't eat anymore." She sniffed the scent of tea eggs and swallowed the taste.

She ate two of them when she got up today, one for a dime. If it was sold, it was 50 cents. In the past, she didn't earn 50 cents a day at work.

Too extravagant.

"Eat if you want, we don't have anything else in our house, and there are enough tea eggs." Ji Yang said that he had already picked up an egg and looked at it. "This is delicious."

It's peeled in twos and threes, and handed it to her.

"...Then I will eat one more, I can't eat it anymore." Ye Jiao smiled, bending his eyebrows, and taking a bite.

Like a little hamster, he was tasting her food and watching him praise, "You can make any spices that are delicious. We bought tea eggs when we went to the square before, and they were not delicious at all."

When the two came here, they were very confused. Although they had money in their pockets, they would spend it all. Ji Yang proposed to do business, starting with selling tea eggs.

He bought tea and spices and studied them. She tried them. She didn't expect it to taste very good. On the first day, they sold out 100 of them.

Immediately afterwards, the two cooked one hundred and fifty, and then to two hundred, three hundred, and today they cooked five hundred.

Days are also slowly getting on the right track. I have a job in this big city. Although self-employed and small traders are not decent now, they are very satisfied.

"Eat more if it tastes delicious." Ji Yang has always been generous to her. She ate five eggs on the first day. He went home with flatulence at night and let him knead it for a while.

"I want two tea eggs." An old man walked over with a little girl and smiled lovingly. "She made a noise when she ate it last time. She didn't like it when she cooked it at home."

"The kid is so cute." Ye Jiao knelt down and looked at the fleshy little girl, who looked at her with big round eyes.

"Call Auntie." The old man reminded with a smile.

"Sister." The little girl puffed up her lips and said very sweetly, "Sister, can you give me one."

Ye Jiao laughed, this is a little clever ghost.

"I will give you one." Ji Yang has already fished three tea eggs. "Eat more eggs and grow taller."

"Thank you, brother." She bit her lip with her little teeth, smiled wider, and looked at her grandmother proudly.

"This child... the little adult is very much." The old man also had his face full of creases, "Grandma will hold it for you, it's a bit hot."

"Brother and sister bye." She waved her little hand.

"Goodbye." Ye Jiao looked at her with a long confiscated smile. If she married Ji Yang and had children, she would be so big now.

"What do you want? Here." Ji Yang interrupted her thoughts and handed the money over.

"Nothing." She took it, then she sat down and started counting the money, holding the money box.

It is full of money tickets, all in large and small denominations.

Excluding the change put in, so far, it has been credited to more than ninety. If all sold out, it should be credited to more than 130. Excluding the cost, the cost of eggs is one dime, five hundred is fifty yuan, and the cost of mung beans is less than ten. For a dollar, you can make about seventy yuan.

Every time she reckoned with her account, she felt happy in her heart. No matter how hard she worked, it was worth it. This was a huge sum of money, a huge sum of money.

Now the salary of a university professor is only 70 or 80 a month, and their daily income is someone else's monthly salary, and the profit is very large.

"Boil some purple rice porridge tomorrow." Ji Yang asked, "It's still a bit troublesome to make steamed buns. If the porridge is cooked, what do you think?"

"Is the porridge good for sale?" she asked.

"Don't drink porridge in the morning? But the porridge is sticky. If it is expensive, the sales volume will be low. If it is cheaper and cost-effective, try it tomorrow." Ji Yang reached out and touched her head.

"But selling so many things, what do you do after I go to school? I can't be busy alone." This is what she worries most.

Ji Yang only came to the imperial capital for her, and now the two can make some money, but she is going to study, leaving him alone.

Sometimes when I think about it, I don't know if it's useful to read it, but he doesn't allow her to have this kind of thought, and she has to read it.

Seeing that Ji Yang didn't reply, she said again, "It's very cold in winter. Although my home is close, I still need someone to help you. What if it suddenly winds and rains?"

Just thinking about it makes people worry.

"I will solve it. Besides, we can't keep setting up a stall. If we save enough money, we rent the storefront, hire someone, and make less money. As long as I can feed me and can afford you, it's okay." Ji Yang I added a briquettes, casually once, and didn't care at all.

Ye Jiao felt his heart warm as he listened, his apricot eyes slowly bend into crescents again, and he looked at his busy figure with great peace of mind.

As long as she is with him, no matter where she is, no matter what she does, she is not afraid, he will always handle it.

"Two tea eggs."

"I want mung bean soup."

"A tea egg, fill me with mung bean soup."

...

Near twelve o'clock, the small stall was busy again, and Ye Jiao was busy collecting money and collecting tea eggs.

Slowly, the tea eggs also bottomed out, and the last bowl of mung bean soup entered Ji Yang's stomach.

The two put the tables, chairs and benches on the cart, packed their things and went home.

At noon the sun was high in the sky, Ji Yang and Ye Jiao shuttled through the streets of the imperial capital, and they would pass a vegetable market when they returned home.

"Buy a chicken and some vegetables?" Ji Yang turned his head to look at her and asked at the beginning.

"Buy chicken?" Ye Jiao hesitated a little.

A chicken costs a few yuan, and selling vegetables here is so expensive, it actually costs three to four cents a catty, and sometimes it is not fresh.

"Stewed chicken soup? Fried chicken." Ji Yang nodded.

After looking at him, Ye Jiao still ruthlessly went to buy it. He had a rough mouth, and it was best to have meat all at once, otherwise he would be hungry at night and the food would not taste good.

I bought chicken, then greens, and some fruit.

Pushing open the door of the courtyard, pushing the cart aside, and putting down the things on it, Ye Jiao carried the things into the kitchen.

In addition to them, this small courtyard house also lives in a family, and that family is a staff member who works in the hospital.

Going out early and returning home late, with the nobility of scholars, there is not much communication with self-employed people like them who set up small stalls.

The kitchen is communal, but the family eats in the cafeteria, and half of them don’t know how to use the kitchen.

There was a well in the yard, and Ye Jiao took the basin out to fetch water and wash the vegetables. By the way, he took out the knife and put it in another basin.

They put a small stove next to it, which they used to eat tea eggs in the morning, and now Ji Yang put a small pot on it, boiling water.

When the water boils, Ji Yang can grab the chicken by himself, pluck the hair on his neck, and start bleeding after a few strokes. Seeing this scene, Ye Jiao shrinks his neck and walks aside.

She is more afraid of real things.

After he was killed, Ye Jiao scooped out the water, and under the scorching hot water, he could pluck the hair by hand.

Ye Jiao can handle it quickly. Ji Yang has already gone to mash his tea eggs. Now he needs to prepare the spice bag, wash the eggs, and mung beans.

When she was cooking, he went to buy purple rice again, and came back with half a bag.

The couple finished all these tasks and it was sunset.

The two like to walk in the alleys of the imperial capital hand in hand in the evening, and Ji Yang will buy her a bunch of candied haws.

Sweet and sour, she squinted her eyes, but the corners of her mouth were rising.

late at night.

When Ji Yang came out of the bath, Ye Jiao sat on the bed with stacks of money tickets next to her. She was still writing and drawing on the paper.

"What are you doing?" He walked over and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Accounting." She lay down on the bed, saying that she wrote down a few numbers on the notebook, raised her head, resting her chin with both hands, "When I go to school, you can rent a small shop with the money, so that You don’t have to go back and forth every day."

"We are more than 1,500 yuan."

She spoke with some pride.

The money is enough to buy ten sewing machines, and renting a shop may be dozens of yuan a month. They have money and can rent it!

"I can solve this, you don't have to worry about it." Ji Yang sighed, a little helpless, and hurriedly packed up to sleep.

"I'm going to school soon." How could Ye Jiao not worry?

He came here for her away from home.

"I know, after waiting for two days, I will take you to the department store to buy some clothes and dress nicely to go to school." Ji Yang said as he reached out and squeezed her cheek, the next second he squatted, "However, I want to Study hard and don't get too close to other men."

"What are you talking about?" Ye Jiao patted his hand and twisted her Xiao Liu eyebrows.

"It's good to have this kind of consciousness." Ji Yang nodded with satisfaction.

Ye Jiao looked at him with a sluggish look and kicked him with his little feet. Ji Yang gave a tut, and she smiled and kicked him again.

"Hey." Ji Yang leaned over and grabbed her white ankle. Pulling forward, she fell asleep, itchy by him, struggling constantly.

Next, the little song at night did not stop for a long time.

The next day.

Before dawn, the two couples are already busy in the small courtyard. Mung bean soup and purple rice porridge are cooked on the small stove. The purple rice porridge needs to be stirred continuously, otherwise it is likely to stick to the pot and affect the taste.

Ye Jiao didn't dare to relax at all, his hands were sore.

Ji Yang looked at the mung bean soup and tea eggs alone, and changed her when they were almost done. After cooking, the two began to push the car to the downtown streets.

"I have a bowl of purple rice porridge today. Sanmao is a bowl." Ye Jiao had a stack of ceramic bowls and some spoons beside him.

"Purple rice porridge? Let's have a bowl and another tea egg. I'll sit in it."

"OK."

"Purple rice porridge? It looks good, so let me have a bowl."

"San Mao a bowl."

...

Originally, Ye Jiao was worried that the purple rice porridge would not be sold. Ji Yang also cooked a small pot. Now it seems that the sales are very good.

It even sells better than tea eggs.

"Are you selling things here?" A curly-haired woman walked up to the two of them and looked around.

"Yeah, Sister Li, why are you here? Would you like to have something to eat? Finish the porridge? This porridge is delicious." Ye Jiao looked at the visitor and exclaimed with enthusiasm.

Li Qian is the one who rents with them in the courtyard house. Both of them are doctors.

"How many bowls?" She asked, and then looked at Chen Wei next to him. He frowned, as if he didn't like the environment.

"No money." Ye Jiao said, already making a full bowl. "Sit here? The tea eggs we made by ourselves are also delicious. Try it."

She fought a bowl, and then another bowl. Li Qian took Chen Wei and sat down.

"You eat first, not enough to call me." Ye Jiao was very enthusiastic throughout the whole process. Even though Chen Wei was a bit disgusted, Li Qian just smiled politely.

However, their most basic restraint is still there, and they still eat with a spoon.

Chen Wei looked at the spoon carefully before eating. Ji Yang smiled and said, "The spoons and bowls are all high-temperature sterilized, and they have just been cooked this morning."

Hearing that, Chen Wei was slightly surprised. A small vendor still knows this common sense?

"Here are two tea eggs."

"I want a bowl of purple rice porridge."

"A tea egg, a bowl of purple rice porridge."

"It's fifty cents in total, and yours is three cents."

...

Ye Jiao kept collecting money, looking for change from time to time, and he was busy for a while.

Chen Qian peeled the egg and ate two bites, then looked at Chen Wei, "You try it too, it tastes really good."

They are used to eating in state-owned restaurants, and they have never eaten such stalls.

Chen Wei was skeptical and took a bite of the egg. It was tender and smooth, and it felt like a mouthful.

The tea has a light scent and is mixed with a variety of spices.

Quite a hand.

He took another sip of porridge. The porridge was sweet, thick but not sticky, which made people appetite.

After drinking a few sips in a row, he turned his eyes on Ji Yang. This young man is not too old. The two should be a husband and wife. Although they live under the same roof, they have never known them. He only thinks that the young man is very diligent. It seems to be good to his wife.

"Unexpectedly, this business is good." Li Qian also drank the porridge. In less than half an hour, Ye Jiao had already received more than ten yuan.

There are not many self-employed people, let alone such small stalls, everyone yearns for iron rice bowls.

"Somewhat business-minded." Chen Wei continued to observe Ji Yang and said in a low voice, not knowing what he was thinking.

The domestic economy has just begun to develop, and there are a lot of business opportunities. Ji Yang dared to venture into the imperial capital alone and start business.

As long as he seizes the opportunity, this young man is not easy.

"The food is delicious." Li Qian drank the porridge, and changed the two of them a little bit. She asked during their free time, "Your daughter-in-law seems to be young, so she doesn't go to school anymore?"

"My daughter-in-law has gone to college for the God test, and she is studying clinical medicine, and she will go to class at the beginning of school." Ji Yang turned back to her.

"Imperial Capital University?" Li Qian looked at Ye Jiao. The other party was a little embarrassed. She slowly recovered her expression and said with a smile, "Imperial Capital University's medical department is very famous and has very high scores."

She didn't graduate there.

I thought it was two country folks, but I didn't expect to have such a background.

"I want to be a doctor, so I reported it." Ye Jiao replied.

"Then you go to class, your husband..." Li Qian said and looked at Ji Yang.

"Make money for her." Ji Yang replied simply.

Ye Jiao's cheeks flushed.

"It will take five years to study clinical medicine, and the internship will take a long time. I am afraid that it will take several years to go to work." Li Qian kindly reminded.

She is in her 30s and has no children.

"For her for as long as possible." Ji Yang answered without hesitation.

Even if Ye Jiao restrained, the corners of his mouth quietly rose. Li Qian looked at the two young men, but it was the first time that they had a good feeling. At least at this moment, their feelings were enviable.
