Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 7

On the way home, Zhao Wenguang counted the money in his hand over and over again.

A total of 12 yuan 7.

Contains 5 pieces of 8 received in advance.

"Second brother, plus 1 yuan 8 for cigarettes, 1 yuan for a four-jin egg, 1 yuan 2 for cotton cloth, and 3 cents for candy, the total is 11 yuan 2."

"The 50 catties of wild vegetables in the state-run restaurant paid me 5 yuan yesterday, and all of them add up to 16 yuan!"

"16 block 2!"

Zhao Wenguang exclaimed, the monthly income of farmers is not so much!
This is just the wild vegetables that the whole family dug for an hour yesterday!
"Little brother, does this mean that two days' income is higher than the wages of sugar factory workers?!"

These days, the job in a sugar factory is a rare commodity in everyone's eyes.

"Of course! Second brother, believe it or not, you will earn more in the future!"

Of course Zhao Wenguang believed it, after all they had to deliver food again tonight.

Zhao Wenguang's mind was active, and he immediately thought of a bigger prospect.

"Little brother, can we go to more places to sell! Go to the glass factory, cigarette factory, and Guangyang Street!"

"Second brother, don't worry about this. Let's take it step by step. It's still a bit risky to sell things personally now."

Zhao Wenguang also calmed down after hearing the words. Indeed, the individual economy has not been widely recognized at the moment.

However, his face was blue and red, obviously thinking about something intensely.

Sure enough, in the whole family, the second brother is the fastest to embrace change.It doesn't matter if there are policy risks. I have previous life experience, so I just need to check it out.

When they got home, after listening to Zhao Wenguang's narration, they no longer had any doubts.

Sure enough, everything must be endorsed by someone with good credit.

In the same way, when Zhao Wenmu said it, everyone would doubt it; when Zhao Wenguang said it, everyone would believe it.

Wild vegetables can really make money!
And you can make a lot of money!

Right now, peach blossom pollination and sweet potato seedling cultivation have also been completed. There is no important farm work, and everyone packed up their things and went up the mountain immediately.

Even the two little guys, Zimeng and Ziting, followed.

Zimeng didn't start elementary school until autumn, and there were no kindergartens or nurseries in the countryside at the moment.

Children can help pick wild vegetables, and rural children of this age have to help the family with some farm work such as fertilizing, sowing seeds, and thinning seedlings.

If the little girl can even help the family cook.

As usual at noon, we went to Zhao Wenmu's house for dinner, and it was Zhao Wenmu's chef.

You have to seize every opportunity to prove that you have become reliable, right?

Zhao Jing wanted to help, but he smiled and pressed her back on the stool.

This time he cooked shepherd's purse stuffed with meat and scallion putty.

Huo Shao is a very popular delicacy for people in Qi. Later Weixian Meat Huo Shao became famous and sold very well.

And the fire is easy to make and easy to carry.

Wrap the stuffing in the dough, then gently roll it into a round cake shape, and bake it on the "cookie" used to spread the pancakes.

A griddle is a flat cauldron under which firewood can be placed to make a fire.

The rural areas of Qilu have always had the traditional custom of "every family supports pancakes and every household bakes pancakes".

The griddle is very large, and several fires can be fired at the same time.

The scallion oil was ordered by Zhao Jing before going out in the morning.

Different from the scallion oil in the south, this kind of scallion oil is made by chopping scallions and putting them in a small bowl, adding some soybean oil, salt, and water, and then steaming them in a pot over high heat.

It is actually a mixture of steamed shallots, oil, water, and salt.

The original fragrance of scallions is preserved to the greatest extent.

After blanching, the Hui Hui Cai can be mixed with scallion oil, and there is no need to add other seasonings.

The fragrance of scallions and the deliciousness of Huihui vegetables are just right.

Zhao Wenmu's skillful rolling of pies, searing on fire, and processing of ash vegetables interspersed in between, this calmness and proficiency left everyone dumbfounded.

Generally, one person is responsible for lighting the fire and turning over the fire, while the other person is responsible for rolling the dough and making the fire.

Otherwise, it is easy to burn accidentally and get burnt.

Only my sister-in-law Liu Xiumei can handle the whole process skillfully by herself.

Even Song Yun and Zhao Jing couldn't do it.

"Okay, little brother, when did you become so powerful?"

Song Yun asked with a smile.

The sister-in-law kept nodding.

"Second sister-in-law, how many times did I burn fire for our mother when I was young, I've already seen it."

This statement is not false, Zhao Wenmu was not messing around when he was young, when Liu Sufang spread pancakes and baked fire, he always liked to help light the fire.

Children like to play with fire.

But the reason why he is so proficient is that after he left Pingyang County in his previous life, the first job he did was to set up a food stall and sell fire.

Burning fire does not require everyone to eat together.

After Zhao Wenmu baked the fire, he put it directly on the grate, picked up two small radish heads, held the fire with his left hand and right hand, and shook it back and forth. faster.

After a while, I started to eat.

Zhao Wenmu picked up a fire that was no longer hot, and handed it to Zhao Jing with a smile:

"Sister, try it."

Although they already have a child, they are more of a sibling relationship. Even because of Zhao Wenmu's previous bad behavior, Zhao Jing was a little afraid of him.

Easing the relationship and building trust can only be done step by step. Zhao Wenmu is still the same as before, calling Zhao Jing "sister".

He believes that sooner or later, there will be not only family affection but also love between them.

Zhao Jing could feel Zhao Wenmu's changes, although it was unreal and made her wonder if it was a dream, but she didn't want to wake up.

Trust me one more time.

"Well, it's delicious."

The brothers and sisters-in-law couldn't help but beam with joy when they saw it.

"Little brother, you can't be messed up again in the future!"

"That's right, treat Ah Jing better in the future!"

"Well, uncle, be nice to my aunt!"

Even Little Luobotou came to lecture, Zhao Jing was a little shy, and hurriedly helped Zhao Wenmu speak well.

"Brother, sister-in-law, younger brother is very kind to me."

Zhao Wenmu stood up and patted his chest.

"Okay, don't worry, uncle, I will treat Ah Jing well in the future!"

Everyone laughed, Liu Xiumei patted Zhao Wenmu on the shoulder and said:

"Little brother, Ah Jing is our younger sister. If you bully her again, be careful that the first and second uncles will beat you up!"

"Third uncle, beat you! Beat you!"

Well, I was completely expelled from the family.

In the past, Zhao Jing was the third eldest among the four sisters. Even Zhao Xuehai threatened some time ago that he only had Zhao Jing as his daughter and no son as Zhao Wenmu.

Liu Sumei even wiped her tears and said that she had harmed Zhao Jing.

"Ha ha ha ha."

There was laughter one after another.

Such a good day!

Zhao Wenmu baked a lot of fire and prepared to save it for dinner and breakfast tomorrow morning.

He didn't go to eat until Zhao Jing quickly finished two fires and replaced him.

Everyone continued to dig wild vegetables without a lunch break.

Labor enthusiasm is at an all-time high.

Zhao Jing stayed at home to take care of the little girl, and the two little radish heads also took a nap at home.

In the afternoon, everyone was digging wild vegetables on the mountain, and Zhao Jing took the two little ones to pick and sort vegetables at home.

At four o'clock, Zhao Wenmu went into the city again with the wild vegetables he had picked.

This time he asked his eldest brother Zhao Wenlin to help drive the car.

Also let the eldest brother see the scene of selling vegetables.

Others continued to dig wild vegetables for a while before going home to pick them, and they continued to work until dark.

Evening sales are also very hot. Workers returning home from get off work remember the nagging of the mother-in-law and the elderly, so they buy some wild vegetables on the way back.

The elder sisters who didn't buy wild vegetables in the morning waited here early.

In more than half an hour, all the wild vegetables were sold, and all the 58 catties ordered in the morning were also given out.

Seeing that there were two or three catties left in the end, Zhao Wenmu decided not to sell it, and walked to the old man who was cleaning.

"Master, there are some wild vegetables here, which I dug up the mountain by myself, and I will give it to you to taste."

Although the wild vegetables are leftovers, their appearance is not bad at all. After all, they were just picked today.

Although the old man was dressed plainly, he was also clean and tidy.

Zhao Wenmu didn't think much about it, there was only a little wild vegetables left, so there was no need to wait any longer, it would be nice to close the stall and go home.

Rather than selling it cheaply or throwing it on the road, it is better to give it to the elderly.

The old man didn't refuse, just thanked him with a smile and accepted it.

People nowadays are not so defensive, nor are they so hypocritical.

Zhao Wenlin was no better than his second child, Zhao Wenguang. Although he had heard about the popularity of wild vegetables in the morning, he still couldn't react to seeing it with his own eyes.

What about half a carload of wild vegetables, why are you robbing them like you don't want money?
1 dime a catty is as much as flour!

When I got home at night, the hilly wild vegetables were no longer wild vegetables in Zhao Wenlin's eyes, they were all white flour.

I can't wait to go up the mountain in the dark to dig wild vegetables!

When the two returned home, everyone had just finished picking wild vegetables and was planning to go back to their respective homes.

Zhao Wenmu called everyone to stop and counted the money. It was 10 yuan and 4 cents in total.

In other words, in addition to the 58 catties booked at noon, 104 catties were sold at night.

He planned to share a part of the money with the eldest brother and second brother's family, but was stopped by his sister-in-law Liu Xiumei.

"Little brother, you can keep all the money, and wait until you earn more."

"That's right, but little brother, you give the money to Ah Jing for safekeeping."

Second sister-in-law Song Yun also answered.

Zhao Wenmu was very moved in his heart. Real relatives are always like this, giving without expecting anything in return. He hasn't experienced this feeling for too long.

In the last life, I was alone, so what if I was rich and invincible?No one shares the joy of success, no one cares about the bitterness behind you, everything is just done numbly, without any sense of accomplishment.

"Well, good! Then wait until you make more money in the future!"

He believes that in this life he can lead everyone to live a better life together.

The eldest brother patted Zhao Wenmu on the shoulder, and then led everyone home.

Zhao Wenmu counted all the money, and it was 23 yuan in total. He took out 1 yuan and handed it to Zhao Jing.

"Sister, I will take care of all the money from now on."

Zhao Jing has been deceived, stolen, and plundered by Zhao Wenmu so many times, but this is the first time she has seen money back.

The big almond eyes soon filled with mist, she lowered her head and wiped her eyes.

After a while, the money came.

He counted out another two yuan and put it in Zhao Wenmu's hand.

Then he entered the room with red eyes.
