Eating melons

Chapter 266 Profiteers

They didn't dare knock on the ice at all, for fear of breaking the pot. However, ice was easy to deal with, as they could just melt it with fire.

Jiang Qi was making a fire at home, so Wei Wei went to find Wu Mei.

"Wu Mei, do you want this soup base? If you do, come and get some. If anyone else wants some, come and get it yourself. It will be gone once people show up."

Hearing this, Li Zhibin immediately went back to get a basin. Yes, a basin. He brought a basin over.

Wu Mei originally took a bowl, but seeing that Li Zhibin had also changed to a basin.

But when they saw the big pot of ice in the house, they were dumbfounded, but they thought it was normal given the temperature.

After all, there has been no fire in the house since the fire yesterday morning, and there was no fire in the house yesterday at noon.

Looking at Wu Mei and Li Zhibin holding the basin, Wei Wei said awkwardly, "This should be ready soon!"

Wu Mei quickly said, "It's okay, we have nothing to do, just wait a moment."

Although it was impossible for all the ice to melt at once, it melted very quickly, and a lot of it melted in a short time.

Seeing that there was enough soup for two basins, Wei Wei hurriedly scooped a basin for Li Zhibin and Wu Mei respectively and asked them to take it away quickly.

Before the ice in the pot had melted completely, many aunts came to visit, including Liu Aiying and Zhao Xing.

You saw Wei Wei, Jiang Qi, and Liu Aiying and greeted them, "Wei girl, Jiang girl is busy!"

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi hurriedly said, "Hello, aunties."

It's one thing not to want to deal with this group of people, but being polite is another.

Although they don't care about reputation, they still care about it, but only partially. They still care about things like being talked about behind their backs for not having good manners.

"Aunties, what's going on?"

When Liu Ai heard this, she immediately said, "I heard that you guys were making a braised meat recipe, and I'm craving it, so I came here with the audacity to ask you for some of the braising soup."

After saying that, he handed over a big bowl with a bowl of buns in it, which looked like two boxes of buns.

Hearing this, Wei Wei immediately looked at Jiang Qi and asked Jiang Qi to deal with it.

Although Jiang Qi doesn't like or is not very good at this kind of interpersonal relationships, she is at least better than Wei Wei.

Wei Wei really had never dealt with it before, and Jiang Qi was not surprised to see Wei Wei like this.

Jiang Qi immediately said, "Auntie, what are you doing? If you want the stew, just come and get it. Why are you bringing something here? It's not worth exchanging something for something."

Hearing this, Liu Aiying felt very pleased, but still smiled.

"This isn't cheap, and you braised so much meat. This is all broth. I don't have the nerve to ask you for it directly."

Liu Aiying was very contemptuous when she learned that a group of shameless old guys came empty-handed to ask for braised soup the day before yesterday.

Hearing Liu Aiying say this, Jiang Qi didn't say anything. After all, so many people came. If they didn't accept Liu Aiying's, it would be difficult to accept everyone else's, and it would be almost like giving away this pot of braised soup for nothing.

Jiang Qi quickly emptied Liu Aiying's bowl, poured her a large bowl of braised soup, and asked, "Auntie, do you want more? Is this enough?"

Liu Aiying quickly said, "Enough, enough."

After all, there are so many people here. If she continues to take, those people will ask Wei Wei and Jiang Qi to give more, and then Wei Wei and Jiang Qi will have nothing left.

Next, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi also helped them prepare the stew quickly.

Everyone brought different things, some expensive, some cheap.

The more expensive ones are like Liu Aiying’s two boxes of steamed buns, Zhao Xing’s two-pack dumplings, etc.

There were also some pickled cabbage and dried vegetables. Liu Cuihua knew that Wei Wei and Jiang Qi liked dried vegetables, so she took a lot of potato chips.

After this group of people left, several more groups came one after another, including the old educated youth, and only a little bit of the soup left in the pot of Wei Wei and Jiang Qi.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi didn't want any of it either, so they put them all in a basin and sent them all to Wu Mei.

They didn't want to braise it anymore, but seeing that Wu Mei seemed to like it very much, they could give it to her to freeze.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi kept the things they wanted from those that were exchanged for the stewed soup, and divided the rest among themselves.

By the way, the seasoning packets were also given to Yu Xi, Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin. The three were very surprised when they received the seasoning packets.

Yu Xi thought that he had forgotten what Wei Wei had promised him and had given up hope, but he didn't expect Wei Wei to send it to him.

Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin knew Wei Wei and Jiang Qi's personalities, and they forgot what they had just agreed to in the blink of an eye.

But she would not go back on her word. She would naturally send it to them when she remembered. Anyway, they already had a lot of braised meat, and they were not in a hurry, so they did not tell Wei Wei about this.

But I didn't expect Wei Wei to give them so many condiment packets.

Xiao Xuemu took the packet of ingredients and opened it as soon as he got home.

I saw that except for the chopped peppers, it seemed that he had everything else inside, so I should be able to replicate it.

As for peppers, he grows them in his space and also makes his own dried peppers. You can just use the amount you like.

After seeing the medicinal herbs, I immediately went into the space to look for them, and found that I really had all of them, so I immediately copied them according to this material package.

Seeing the replicated seasoning package, Xiao Xuemu smiled and knew that he could braise the meat in the space from now on.

Just braise it if you want to eat it. This braised meat will definitely taste better than fresh meat when made into jerky.

However, Xiao Xuemu found a few chili seeds in the medicine bag. Seeing these chili seeds, Xiao Xuemu thought of the spiciness of Wei Wei and Jiang Qi's stew.

Xiao Xuemu picked up these seeds and planned to plant them to see if they could grow.

The next day, Wei Wei found Wu Mei, and they planned to go to the team to buy chickens, ducks and geese, but Wu Mei didn't plan to buy them. She still had a lot of meat, and she didn't have enough money to buy it.

Hearing that Wu Mei was not going to buy it, Wei Wei immediately found Wu Mei and wanted her to help buy it in Wu Mei's name, so that the two of them could buy more.

Knowing that Weiwei and Jiang Qi were not short of money, Wu Mei did not refuse.

After the purchase, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi threw all the things to Wu Mei, of course paying for them.

Not only did Wu Mei not feel annoyed, but she seemed to be struck by a pleasant surprise.

Wu Mei suddenly felt that Wei Wei and Jiang Qi were just as they said, two money-giving boys who could always make her money and bring her wealth.

It was Wei Wei and Jiang Qi who first suggested helping them deal with the chickens, ducks and geese. Only after Wei Wei and Jiang Qi suggested that she deal with it did the others ask her to help. In less than half a month, they gave her money twice.

The money she earned in less than half a month was enough for her to eat well for two months.

Within three days, Liu Wumei had taken care of all the chickens, ducks and geese for them.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi directly sold all the remaining chickens, ducks and geese from the last purchase.

Wei Wei searched for local chickens and ducks out of curiosity and immediately saw the ones she had just sold.

But when she saw the price, Wei Wei really didn't know what to say.

Seeing Wei Wei's surprised expression, Jiang Qi asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"This system is awful! It's selling us the same things we sell, and do you know how much they're charging? It's doubled. Chicken that costs 40 yuan a pound is now being sold for 80 yuan."

Jiang Qi was also stunned when he heard this, but he could understand it.

After all, the system also needs to make money. When products like this are produced, the people behind the system also need to make money.

It’s just that he didn’t expect to earn so much, but when he thought about the value of the system, Jiang Qi could understand it.

Looking at the angry Wei Wei, Jiang Qi comforted her, "It's okay, we won't buy it. Besides, we won't lose anything. If it's converted to the market price, a pound of free-range chicken will sell for 40 yuan. If it's the wholesale price, it's also a high price."

Upon hearing this, Wei Wei felt a little better and did not give up selling local chickens and ducks like she did with ginseng.
