Chapter 186: Delicious Mutton

Chapter 186: Delicious Mutton

With the money, Ji Jianyun went to order the other ship and paid the deposit.

As for the 2,200 yuan contract fee he still owed for the reservoir, there was no hurry to pay it back. He said that he would pay it back next year, so he would pay it back next year. Otherwise, everyone would wonder how he earned that money so quickly.

The boat was not going to be ready that quickly, but Ji Jianyun was already a little idle.

Because everything was basically done, and he could wait to do more after the New Year.

Yet, Ji Jianyun still had a lot of debts, so he couldnt stay idle.

One day, when he didnt have much to do, he took Mother Ji to make a batch of salted eggs.

While making salted eggs, Mother Ji chatted with him, When its time to kill the pigs, let Butcher Li come to kill them, okay?

Okay. Ji Jianyun nodded.

He knew that his mother wanted to develop the relationship between the two families, and he also wanted them to have a good impression of them for his sister, Yunyun.

It was related to her matchmaking after all, and the brothers in the family could help with that.

Even if his mother didnt mention it, he would probably find Butcher Li anyway. He was a well-known butcher in this area, and it was reasonable to find him.

When that happens Li Zhi will also come. Please help me take a look at him, Mother Ji said with a grin.

Li Zhi was Butcher Lis second son. She was preparing to examine her future son-in-law.

Mother, if you think hes good, then its fine. Ji Jianyun chuckled at the way his mother was acting.

This was for his mothers daughter, so what wont be good about him?

I have taken a look before, but if you are her older brother, please help me, Mother Ji persuaded.

Of course. Ji Jianyun nodded. I know Li Zhi though. He is an honest and respectable person. Being a teacher is really suitable for him, and he is able to make a living.

However, he is just a little worried about his sister. She was becoming more and more rebellious. She was a very good person before. How could she grow more and more crooked?

But seeing his mothers high spirits, he couldnt pour cold water on it.

The first batch of salted eggs was almost ready. When they reached half a month, Ji Jianyun was going to let his second brother transport it.

He did not make a lot because he did not understand the market yet. There were three baskets worth of salted eggs available, but he just tried to sell one basket.

If the salted eggs were easy to sell, then there was nothing else to say. He would continue to salt eggs. Anyway, he had a lot. Both chicken farms were laying eggs. He was not worried about a lack of eggs.

Ji Jianyun obviously underestimated his brand.

As soon as the customers heard that the salted eggs were made by him, a basket of salted eggs was not enough for everyone to buy.

Ji Jianye took the remaining two baskets with him the next day, but they sold quickly.

The salted eggs were stored for a long time. The weather was cold now, so it was fine to store them until New Years. Once the New Years celebrations occur, all the children and grandchildren who work outside of their village would go home, so they must stock up on eggs to sell to them.

So Uncle Gao asked Sister He and Sun Dashan to have more salted eggs made, or else they would not have enough for themselves, let alone for the New Year.

So Ji Jianyun took Mother Ji with him to salt a lot. This batch could be kept for themselves to eat during the New Year.

In addition to salted eggs, the dried persimmons were ready to be sold. Theyve developed a thick layer of sugar.

He left some for his family to eat, and the rest went to the college town. As expected, this batch of high-quality dried persimmons sold very well.

When Ji Jianye came back that day, he laughed and said, Everyone is talking about how the store is selling more things, and your business is getting bigger.

At the beginning, there were only a limited number of items in the shop, but now there was much more. A while ago, there were fish for sale, and then there were salted eggs. Although dried persimmons were common, they were sold only once a year. They could be kept for a long time until New Years.

And Ji Jianyun didnt disappoint anyone. When they reached December, Ji Jianyun announced, The sheep can be killed.

He didnt raise many sheep. He keeps the young and pregnant ones, and kills the others.

Lao Qin and Su Jindang each asked for five batches, and sold all of them in a day. Ji Jianyun sent the rest to the college town. Truthfully, he made more money by sending it to the college town. However, he didnt worry about that. Lao Qin and Su Jindang went to get the meat from him.

This batch of mutton was pretty much snatched up in the college town.

The customers had tried mutton a long time ago. If the uncles and aunts drank a bowl of soup with mutton before they went to bed at night, their hands and feet would stay warm. It was especially good for replenishing qi and blood.

In addition, because the weather was cold, they were not afraid of the mutton spoiling if they bought too much. Thus, there was a rush to buy it.

Fortunately, Ji Jianyun had already told Ji Jianye to pass on a message that there was a limit. Customers could only buy three kilograms at most. If they want more, then they could come again the next day. Otherwise, other people would not be able to buy it, and wont know what his mutton tastes like.

However, the restrictions couldnt stop the customers enthusiasm for mutton.

This batch of mutton only lasted a few days, and received a lot of praise.

Ji Jianyun also made a fortune.

However, making money was just making money. He did not forget to feed his family.

And he left behind them a fat sheep.

It was December, it was really cold. Although it did not snow yet, frost could be seen on the ground in the morning. It was easy for the meat to keep, they could just hang it under the roofs.

Ji Jianyun gave his mother-in-law a quarter of the mutton, one quarter to his parents, and the rest was for his family.

Apart from this, no one else had a piece.

How many times could a sheep even be divided? When they kill the pigs, he would share some with the other family members. But now, unless it was his family, his parents, or his in-law, no one else got any.

The mutton was really delicious, especially the mutton stewed by Su Danhong. It made him salivate a lot.

Is it delicious? Su Danhong drank a bowl of soup. At Ji Jianyuns strong request, she ate two more pieces of meat, and then she stopped.

Delicious!  Ji Jianyun smiled.

What do you think, Renren? Su Danhong looked at her oldest son with a smile.

Its delicious. Even Renrens eyes were shining as he took a bite.

Eee, Eee. Qiqi had a piece of fatty mutton in his hand. He could not eat it yet, but it could be smashed to a pulp for him, and it was very delicious.

Ji Jianyun smiled. He owed a lot of debt this year. He kept one sheep for his family, and made a lot with the ones he sold. What if he kept one again and sold the rest for his debt?

Su Danhong knew what he was thinking about, and said, Just leave one enough for us to eat. If you try doing too much, you will tire yourself out.

Okay. Ji Jianyun agreed, and said nothing else. *:. ?????? ???? ?? ?????????.??? .:*

When Uncle Ji went home that day, he had to listen to Aunt Lis nagging.

What a great nephew! Thanks to him, you work for him in the orchard all day long. He killed so many sheep and didnt even give you a single piece of wool. Your nephew is so great! Aunt Li cried indignantly.
