Chapter 1752: Chapter 1609: Auntie’s Life Hacks
The employees were eagerly discussing things, while Master Jiang was strolling around the courtyard, fanning himself. He couldn’t help but shout when he heard everyone talking:
"Are you all leaving tonight?"
The n and won in the dorm poked their heads out:
"I am!"
" too!"
Why was everyone rushing to leave at night?
First, they could get ho earlier, avoiding the hassle of spending most of the dayti traveling.
Second, with such nice waterlons, they couldn’t bear to leave them overnight, so of course, they wanted to hurry and take them ho!
Master Jiang asked about the approximate tis; those traveling far planned to take an overnight bus, while those closer would take two to three hours, but almost all chose to leave after six or seven o’clock.
Given that—
"Let’s make so buns now."
Master Jiang waved his phone: "The boss said since it’s rare to have a festival, tonight both the perforrs and our employees will get to eat buns from their family."
"But I figured you could eat three, and hers probably wouldn’t be enough, so I applied to use this year’s freshly milled flour to make our own. What kind of filling do you want?"
"Once the buns are ready, they can be stead. Those who aren’t leaving can stay and eat slowly; those who are leaving can put three or four in a plastic bag and take them on the ride ho..."
Master Jiang looked at this group of diligent young n and won working hard; although each had their own little thoughts, none of them were causing trouble, and he liked them very much.
Now, naturally, he wanted to be even more considerate.
His arrangents made everyone in the dormitory happy:
"Any filling is fine! As long as it’s the boss’s buns, everything’s good!"
Soone was already eager and rushed downstairs: "Master Jiang, I’ve got a big appetite; is it okay if I take 5 buns with
tonight?"
So who weren’t planning to return ho tonight also hurried to talk to the team leader and then quickly bought their tickets.
In short, besides those on duty and so collecting vegetables, everyone was going ho.
Master Jiang listened to the chaotic buzz and said with slight annoyance: "Eat five buns? I think you want to just stuff them in your pockets to take ho!"
The employees laughed without saying a word.
Master Jiang: ...
He just said, "Well, hurry up then, or else the dough won’t rise later."
There was another cheer from inside the dormitory building!
...
While the mountain was busy, down below, the theater troupe was also fully engaged.
The eldest aunt’s family was determined to watch enough performances tonight. Now, in Song Tan’s ho, enjoying the air conditioning and sipping hot tea, she couldn’t help but boast:
"This month, our family’s grocery bill only cost a few dozen yuan!"
Wu Lan was shocked: A few dozen yuan?!
Even in rural areas, for many vegetables that aren’t hogrown, buying a bit extra would likely exceed that amount!
She frowned and asked, "Eldest Sister, did you go to the supermarket to catch discounts again?"
Indeed!
The eldest aunt was straightforward, sincerely sharing her experience:
"Go to the supermarket around seven or eight in the evening, and first pick out the vegetables and fruits you want to eat in the fresh food section."
At this ti, the place is quite crowded; many young people just got off work, and there are plenty of products in the supermarket!
But there are so skills to catching discounts: "After picking things out, don’t weigh them yet, just continue shopping around the supermarket. Anyway, you’ll turn on the air conditioner at ho, so might as well enjoy the cool air in the supermarket!"
"Wait until the supermarket’s closing announcent, then go to the entrance for weighing. At that ti, everything is priced at a discount. That day, I bought two pounds of grapes for only 1 yuan and 9.8 jiao..."
The eldest aunt proudly recounted: She isn’t soone who ruins her health by being stingy; she manages to save while keeping her family’s nutrition balanced—most people don’t have her level of skill!
Song Tan was greatly impressed: "Eldest Aunt, those scallions in your egg pancakes..."
The eldest aunt let out an "oh," sowhat regretful.
"When making egg pancakes, the scallions must be placed on the top! Custors can see at a glance if they’re fresh or not."
"If I use ones that aren’t fresh, they definitely won’t buy them. That wouldn’t be worth it!"
Of course, sotis they didn’t even spend money on the scallions.
The eldest aunt cleaned up several oil barrels, cut many slits across them, filled them with soil, and planted scallion bulbs in them.
After so ti, scallions would grow everywhere, except at the bottom—so dense on all sides and on top!
There were three or four rows lined up on the living room balcony, and each month, money was saved a few tis on groceries.
The Song Family was montarily speechless.
Song Youde couldn’t resist wanting to grab a cigarette to smoke.
Honestly, he admitted being a bit biased, not as attentive to his daughter as to Da Fang.
But no matter what, they never skimped on food at ho!
How did she develop such a frugal character? The Song Family was never like this!
Only Qiaoqiao and Yang Zhengxi were gaping. Qiaoqiao thought about it and could only sincerely praise: "Eldest Aunt, you’re amazing!"
Yang Zhengxi was more direct: "Wow!"
Then he quickly moved closer: "Eldest Aunt, why didn’t you co earlier? If you had told
about this a few days ago, I would have arranged with Qiaoqiao for us to walk around the supermarket in the evening and do a live stream!"
"And share this thod with our followers—it would definitely go viral!"
Since he was about to leave, there clearly wasn’t enough ti.
But that didn’t stop Yang Zhengxi from continuing to ask: "Eldest Aunt! You’re so good at living. What was the least amount you spent cooking for a family of three?"
The eldest aunt, flattered, was beaming with joy.
Why didn’t any of her relatives know how to praise like Xiaoyang? Each complint hit the mark.
Qiaoqiao was sincere, but obviously had a much smaller vocabulary; his complints were very straightforward.
Unlike now, with just a few words from Xiaoyang, the eldest aunt couldn’t stop smiling!
She not only promised to go grocery shopping with him when he ca back but also earnestly recalled her glorious cooking history—
"I can’t rember from long ago, but in the past few months, the least we spent was, I think, two yuan and so change for four dishes and a soup for the three of us?"
"But that’s the distributed price; buying varied items all at once wouldn’t be possible for that little."
The eldest aunt began counting: "I bought a large bundle of water spinach for one yuan, enough for three als!"
"And a big bundle of amaranth too."
"Plus, I picked pre-cut waterlon slices; they have the cutting ti marked, and if you ask at closing ti, only five mao!"
"Finally, do you know the supermarket now has vegetable cutting and matching services? But so people don’t pay after they’re done—the products get put back and discounted—so we wait and snap them up at the discount at night!"
Talking about this, the eldest aunt was especially proud:
"I didn’t spend much that ti, but I got all the ingredients for a whole stead turbot dish for 8 yuan!"
She was all smiles: "How about that? Am I impressive or what?"
This is beyond impressive; Yang Zhengxi was even more distressed: "Eldest Aunt, if I’d known just one day earlier, I would’ve taken Qiaoqiao to the supermarket with you last night!"
