Chapter 25: Going to the market to sell brown sugar...
In the afternoon, Xie Jiaojiao poured two more pots of sugarcane juice into the pot and boiled them in the same way.
Seeing that there was only one box, he found a few pieces of wood and put them together to make a box to hold the boiled brown sugar.
I cooked two more boxes in the afternoon.
The sugarcane in the backyard was also reduced by half.
Xie Jiaojiao packed up all the sugarcane residue. Sun Ruhua asked her why she packed it up. Xie Jiaojiao said that she would use it to smoke bacon during the Chinese New Year, which would be very delicious.
Sun Ruhua just smiled and said, "We are farmers, how can we make bacon?"
Bacon is something only rich people eat, but if her Jiaojiao wants to eat it, she can buy one or two pieces after she gets the money from selling the brown sugar.
After doing it for two days in a row, the hands of the three were very sore, especially Xie Jiaojiao. When she was eating, her hands were shaking. She was afraid that she would not be able to hold the bowl and break it.
Another day passed, and Xie Jiaojiao saw that the brown sugar in the box had completely dried up. She used a knife to cut the brown sugar into several pieces in the box, cut some, poured hot water on it and gave it to Sun Ruhua and Xie Zhiyi to taste: "Try and see if it's sweet."
Sun Ruhua took a sip and nodded immediately: "It's really sweet, and it smells refreshing."
Xie Jiaojiao then nodded with satisfaction.
Thinking of taking the products to town to sell during the next big market, Xie Jiaojiao and the others couldn't stop.
After working for a few days, I finally boiled all the sugarcane into brown sugar.
Looking at so much brown sugar at home, Sun Ruhua felt that there was finally hope for the future.
Xie Jiaojiao was so tired that she didn't even want to move her fingers.
However, Sun Ruhua collected all the sugarcane tips that had been cut in the backyard, intending to plant them all in the field before digging sweet potatoes.
Xie Jiaojiao said there was no rush and that they could just plant them slowly later.
The day of the big market finally arrived, and the family of three got up early.
Xie Jiaojiao prepared a kettle and also brought bowls for the three people in the family to eat.
Sun Ruhua asked, "Why do you bring these? Be careful not to break them on the way." These were the only bowls and chopsticks for the three people in the family to eat with. It was just an extra bowl, and Chen Hongju kept an eye on them and didn't let them take it away.
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "It will be useful when we get to town!"
Sun Ruhua was worried that the brown sugar wouldn't be sold out in one day, but Xie Jiaojiao wasn't afraid: "Mom, carry them all on your back. If they sell well, we'll have to wait for several days until the next market."
Sun Ruhua thought so too. At worst, if she couldn’t sell all of them, she could just carry them back.
Fearing that Xie Jiaojiao would have too much to carry alone, Sun Ruhua borrowed a backpack from Wang Po the day before.
The mother and daughter each carried some of the burden, and Xie Zhiyi just carried the water bottle.
"Are you afraid of getting thirsty in town? Why do you bring a water bottle?"
Xie Jiaojiao didn't say anything.
The three of them got up early and it took them an hour to get there. When they arrived in town, it was just dawn.
Sun Ruhua took out a steamed bun from her arms and everyone ate one.
Just after the meal, more people came to the market.
Xie Jiaojiao immediately set up her stall. When she came, she deliberately brought a piece of wooden board of medium size so that she could put the brown sugar on it for display.
After doing all this, he asked Sun Ruhua for a penny and found a breakfast shop to buy a pot of hot water.
Back at the stall, Sun Ruhua said unhappily, "Does this water cost money?"
Xie Jiaojiao said: "Mom, we need firewood to burn, right? Don't worry, the money will be returned soon!"
As soon as Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, she stood up immediately: "Come and have a look if you are passing by. This is authentic sugarcane brown sugar, suitable for all ages, warm and nourishing to the stomach. Drinking it can improve blood circulation for women, and replenish essence for men..."
Sun Ruhua hurriedly grabbed Xie Jiaojiao and said, "What are you talking about!"
Xie Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then said: "Mom, if we don't shout, there will be no business."
"But you can't say that. You haven't even gotten married yet!"
Xie Jiaojiao felt speechless.
Just at this moment a woman came up and asked: "Is this brown sugar?"
Xie Jiaojiao quickly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes. Madam, would you like some? This is genuine sugarcane brown sugar. Drinking it can replenish your blood, nourish your spirit, and beautify your complexion."
As Xie Jiaojiao spoke, she quickly poured a bowl for the woman: "Madam, why don't you try it? The taste is authentic and has the fragrance of sugarcane."
As soon as Xie Jiaojiao bought the water, she cut a small piece of brown sugar into it, and now it has completely dissolved.
The woman was lost in the sound of her calling "Madam" left and right. She took the bowl and was about to try it, but when she looked at it, she saw a crack on the bowl. She immediately put the bowl down in disgust and left.
Sun Ruhua looked at it and was puzzled: "Why did this good business disappear?"
Xie Jiaojiao sighed: "People dislike the cracks on our bowl, otherwise mother..."
Sun Ruhua immediately turned her head away: "I don't have any money."
Xie Jiaojiao helplessly poured the brown sugar water in the bowl back into the pot.
After thinking about it, he cut a small piece of brown sugar, took it to the breakfast shop, and asked the owner to borrow a few bowls.
Sun Ruhua took one look and said: "Brown sugar is such a precious thing, you...you..."
Xie Jiaojiao was somewhat helpless: "Mom, didn't you say you had no money?"
Sun Ruhua was so angry that she didn't want to talk to Xie Jiaojiao. She felt that her daughter was such a spendthrift!
Then Xie Jiaojiao shouted a few more times, attracting more people. They all looked at the brown sugar and asked, "Why is your color different from the ones in this shop?"
Xie Jiaojiao explained with a smile: "This is authentic sugarcane brown sugar. Nothing is added. It is purely handmade. It is much sweeter than ordinary brown sugar!"
The visitor didn't believe it, so Xie Jiaojiao immediately poured out two bowls of water from the kettle and handed them to the people in front of her: "Then try it, this is what I just brewed with this brown sugar."
Two of the women in front of them took the bowls and their eyes widened: "This is so sweet."
Another person agreed: "It smells nice."
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "It's right that there is a fresh fragrance. This fresh fragrance is the smell of sugarcane."
After saying that, he poured a few more bowls and let others try it.
Everyone nodded slightly after tasting it.
One of them couldn't help but ask: "How much is this brown sugar?"
