Chapter 137 - 128: Half a Beat Slow_2
When only a small half was left, she tried to stop the two of them from eating more, but was too slow. By the time only a few pieces remained, everyone saw Old woman Qian glaring at Yixiu and Yiduo who were still taking sausages. Her hands trembling, she first placed two pieces on her son’s plate, then shakily picked up the dish and poured the rest into Jinwa’s bowl.
Jinwa looked at his pouting sisters and, with a smile, picked a piece for their family.
Yixiu felt quite resentful. It was her effort that had created these treats, after all. Old woman Qian was far too partial.
After the meal, Yixiu spoke of her idea to make sausages for profit at her great-aunt’s place. She mentioned it was the perfect time to do so with many people slaughtering pigs, and they could collect more to make into sausages. Not only were they delicious and easy to cook, but like smoked and preserved meats, they could be kept for a long time and sold far away, even to the provincial capital or Capital City. She also said they could involve Shopkeeper Cui in Capital City’s business, who would surely be eager to make money if the products were good.
She added that sausages were simple to make and could be easily replicated by others after some thought. Therefore, the focus should be on maximizing profits this year.
Qian Sangui and Old woman Qian were very pleased to hear this. Old woman Qian said she would go to the county town tomorrow, as she also wanted to see her daughter and precious grandson and stay for a longer visit.
Old woman Qian, looking at Yixiu with a pleased expression, warmly invited her, saying, "Yixiu, join Great-grandma on a visit to your great-aunt’s place and stay for a while longer. The blue-tiled and red-bricked houses there are much more comfortable than those in the countryside. They even have a copper stove for heating during winter; it won’t be cold at all."
