good old days

Chapter 38 Make Money
Jiang Xinyu waited for Comrade Chen Xiuyun in another place, and she still knew which direction she was going at that time.

I found a hidden place to poke my head, holding the one and thirty cents in my hand a little itchy, and wanted to go to the scrap yard in the county town.

Although the county seat is a county seat, it has a few more vertical and horizontal streets than the town. You can see the end of a street in the town at a glance. The county seat is not much more than the town, but the roads on the streets are not concrete roads. , still looks broken.

Jiang Xinyu waited for another ten minutes, and Chen Xiuyun with a basket appeared in her sight.

Jiang Xinyu hurriedly appeared to meet her, and took her mother away with a turn of her footsteps.

"The nine yuan in my basket was bought by one person..."

Jiang Xinyu told Chen Xiuyun what happened just now, and as expected, she was scolded by Chen Xiuyun.Chen Xiuyun felt nervous at the thought of what happened, and felt that this girl was really daring and irritating.

Jiang Xinyu shrunk her neck when she was told, she still didn't forget to poke her head out and say, "Mom, let's go to the scrap yard to have a look."

Chen Xiuyun knocked on her, "What are you waiting for if you don't go back quickly!" What if someone finds the red sleeve band to catch her!Although there is such a possibility, Chen Xiuyun knows that the possibility is very small. After all, some time has passed, but I am not afraid of ten thousand, just in case!
Jiang Xinyu was trained to retract her head like a doormat, and started to trot to follow Chen Xiuyun's fast and tight pace. She was so tired that she was out of breath.

When they arrived in the town, Chen Xiuyun took her to the supply and marketing cooperative. When they arrived, the line was crowded with people, and it took a long time to enter.

After entering the supply and marketing cooperative, Chen Xiuyun bought four catties of white flour. She had some receipts from her mother's family, which was enough for the time being. If it was not enough in the future, she could only buy white flour from the black market.

It was the first time for Jiang Xinyu to enter a supply and marketing cooperative after arriving here. There are also supply and marketing cooperatives in the brigade, but there are not as many types as here.

The doors and windows of the supply and marketing cooperative are very wide, the counter is high, and behind the counter are tall shelves with various commodities on them.

The attitude of the salesperson is completely different from that of the service salesperson of later generations. It is not an exaggeration to say that people are judged by their nostrils.It is said that Jiang Zhenzhen, the eldest sister of the original owner, is now a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative, but she belongs to the commune next door.

White flour cost seven cents a catty, and four catties cost Chen Xiuyun sixty-eight cents. Then she bought a catty of mung beans, a catty of loose sugar and two catties of white sugar, and then bought a few homework books.

After spending a total of one yuan, Chen Xiuyun stopped.Although I have made money these two days, I still need to save some money.

There are quite a few people in the brigade of the supply and marketing cooperative, and Ma Meili also came up today to buy new year's goods.After Chen Xiuyun talked with the acquaintance, Ma Meili left the supply and marketing cooperative with the two of them carrying the purchased things.

"Sister-in-law, when did you and Xinyu come? I went to your house to look for you, and Yuzhu said that you had already left. Why did you come in later than me?"

Chen Xiuyun said calmly: "Xinyu's stomach hurts halfway, so she was delayed for a while."

Jiang Xinyu: "..."!
Ma Meili said: "Eldest sister brought Hu Zi to mother-in-law and told her that she would adopt Hu Zi to elder brother and you, but third brother said to you later, you can accept it."

Ma Meili sold Jiang Guisheng without hesitation. After hearing what she heard, she knew that Jiang Guisheng wanted his mother-in-law to make up the 25 yuan for the third child's family. Why?The parents-in-law live with them, what good is it? It should belong to her family!
Ma Meili is not worried at all about her parents-in-law subsidizing Chen Xiuyun's mother and daughter in private, because this is impossible!It's impossible for the sun to come out from the west!

It is the correct posture for Ma Meili to maintain a friendly relationship with people who have no interests.

"Sister-in-law, let me say that you can adopt a son as long as you want, at least to leave a son for the eldest brother, but I don't like the tiger of the eldest sister..."

Ma Meili thought she was nice to Chen Xiuyun, but when Balabala told her, Chen Xiuyun didn't want to talk to her.

But after getting home, Ma Meili also said that her mouth was dry.

When Jiang Xinyu came home, Jiang Yuzhu was beating pig pancreas in the house.

"Where did it come from?"

Jiang Yuzhu rubbed her hands: "Chen Yi sent them over. Aunt Wang's pigs were slaughtered. I heard from Xiuhua that her pigs were rated as first-class pigs, and the purchase price is seven cents per catty."

Jiang Yuzhu was tired from pounding, so Jiang Xinyu pushed up after eating. Judging by the amount in the stone basin, it was at least three pig pancreas.

After finishing drying it, Jiang Xinyu started reading again.

For several days, until the morning of Xiaonian, Jiang Xinyu and Chen Xiuyun went to the county together every day, and sold [-] pieces a day. Excluding the expenses, Chen Xiuyun had saved nearly ten yuan.

Chen Xiuyun is very satisfied. The workers in the factory in the city only earn 20 yuan a month, and she earns a lot by relying on cakes and hair cakes.

On Xiaonian's day, Chen Xiuyun made dumplings stuffed with pork and wild vegetables, biting down, it was full of meat.Jiang Xinyu was lucky enough to eat the first dumpling after coming here, and it was made of white flour!
In addition to dumplings, Chen Xiuyun also mixed a homemade mung bean sprouts and ate them.

After eating, he didn't want to throw away the noodle soup, so he added some sweet potatoes, wheat bran and cornmeal, and poured two small pots for the baby pig and the dog.

In the past few days, Jiang Xinyu thought of pastries that she could make, but she used too much sugar and oil, so she was rejected by Chen Xiuyun just by mentioning it.

Jiang Xinyu thought about the taste of Shaqima, so she could only slap her mouth in her heart.

Chen Xiuyun felt that the two kinds of pastries were enough to sell, and they could be sold out steadily and quickly every day, so there was really no need to bother about anything else.

While Jiang Xinyu was busy studying and earning money, the Jiang family next door stopped for a while.

28 When Jiang Xinyu came back from the county that day, Jiang Xinyu heard from Jiang Yuzhu that Chen Yi had become a temporary film projectionist in the commune.

Jiang Xinyu had heard the news, but she didn't know that Chen Yi was the most popular person in the brigade in the past few days.

Li Lei of Captain Li's family is the only urban worker in the brigade, and he is already the candidate for the best son-in-law of the seven aunts and eight big wives in the brigade. Are you envious?
His yard is spacious and he has a coveted job. Who wouldn't want her to be his son-in-law?
The business was done at 29, and 47 were taken today, and they sold very quickly.

Most of the people who come to buy pastries are repeat customers, and there are also new customers who are pulled over by repeat customers.

Chen Xiuyun sold cakes very smoothly. What impressed her most was a middle-aged man with a slightly puffed stomach and well-dressed clothes. As long as he went, ten or eight would buy jujube cakes. When she met him, she would always go home earlier.

Recently, no one came to investigate the black market, so Chen Xiuyun was lucky.

When she was in a good mood, when she came home that day, there was a large piece of pork belly in her basket.This is what the pork seller got in exchange for meat and pastries.Chen Xiuyun has done the math, her cakes are only counted at cost price, so it is a profit in exchange for these two catties of meat.
