Return to the era: starting from the state-owned hotel

Chapter 209 The widow makes trouble
Hearing Su Qingfeng's words, the bearded man immediately smiled.

The master chef of this state-owned hotel is really interesting.

He wasn't really looking for trouble, he was just attracted by the scent of the cicada monkey, and he didn't expect to share a meal with them.

The bearded man was not polite. He picked up a cicada monkey and stuffed it into his mouth. It was crunchy and tasted a bit like salt and pepper prawns.

One bite at a time, the bearded man's mouth was full of oil, and Lin Mingliang's already shaken heart became even more shaken.

In the end, Su Qingfeng and others stopped holding it, and started eating along with Chen Meilan and Hutou.

Lin Mingliang saw that they were enjoying the food, so he just gritted his teeth and stuffed it into his mouth with his eyes closed.

When Su Qingfeng saw his hands trembling, she knew that he was really afraid.

There is no need to embarrass yourself so much...

Just when Su Qingfeng was about to dissuade him, he saw that Lin Mingliang had stuffed the cicada monkey into his mouth. He frowned at first, and then slowly relaxed his brows. When the cicada monkey had not yet When he was full, Su Qingfeng saw that he could not wait to hold out his chopsticks again.

Forget it...no more persuasion is needed.

Su Qingfeng looked at the empty bottles in his hand, thinking about grabbing some more tonight.

Not to mention, I really miss the cicada monkey after not eating it for a long time.

……

when off work.

Su Qingfeng returned to Sujiacun in a hurry.

But when he jumped out of the back seat, Hu Tou's face looked strange. He couldn't be said to be pretty, nor could he be said to be ugly.

He crossed his legs and used a somewhat awkward posture to go to each of his friends' homes and began to call his friends.

Su Qingfeng let him go and took his lunch box to the old house again.

Compared to Su Qingfeng's calmness, Sujiacun was in a state of shock.

In just one dinner, the news about the cicada spread almost throughout Sujia Village.

Last night, a group of children stayed up late at night and went to catch cicada monkeys. A group of adults at most thought they were catching monkeys for fun, or at worst, they were catching monkeys for food.

Who would have thought that these children would do such a big thing in silence!

They took the cicada monkey and sold it for money!

The key point is that this money is almost worth a day's work of a strong laborer.

Compared to a day of hard work, catching cicadas...can that be called work?
It’s obviously just for fun!
But just like this, the money a child can get is comparable to a strong laborer working hard for a day.

If the adults in the family get involved again...

It was hard to imagine.

There isn't much else in Sujia Village, it just has a lot of people, a lot of land, and a lot of trees.

Even if all the cicada monkeys in the village are wiped out, there are still large tracts of woods on the mountains.

In a sense, cicada monkeys can also be regarded as a kind of pests. Catching cicada monkeys in an appropriate amount is also good for trees.

But Su Qingfeng felt... after today's stimulation, it was hard to say whether the cicada would become a protected animal like a sparrow.

After eating at his old house, he did not rush to catch cicadas like Su Yuantie, Su Yuangang and Qian Feng. Instead, he leisurely made tea at home and drank it.

The so-called tea... is actually not Dahongpao or Laojunmei, but just herbal tea with a little mint leaves added.

But Su Qingfeng felt pretty good while drinking it now.

The evening breeze blew slowly, and after a while, Su Qingfeng was waiting for the person he wanted to wait for.

I saw the team leader and the old party secretary hurried over.Su Qingfeng saw that they were both in a hurry, especially the old party secretary, who was still out of breath when he was on the road because of his old age.

Su Qingfeng poured some mint tea into their enamel cups, and then said with a smile:
"Captain, Party Secretary, you are here...to find out about the monkey, right?"

The captain and the old party secretary were a little embarrassed when their purpose of coming was revealed.

After all, Su Qingfeng discovered this rare way to make a fortune first. He could enjoy it all by himself, so no one could compete with him. After one summer, Su Qingfeng might be able to make a lot of money.

But Su Qingfeng didn't do this.

Instead, he took a bunch of children to catch cicadas and made money with everyone.

Now that they knew the news, they came to ask Su Qingfeng whether they could make money through this method. It was indeed a bit greedy to get a piece of the pie.

But unfortunately... they didn't just do it for themselves.

The conditions at the home of the brigade leader and the old party secretary are considered to be better than those in Sujia Village. It will be enough to at least survive this summer and wait until the autumn harvest and distribution of food.

But what about other people?
Especially the other lonely elderly families who are like tiger heads and have no strong labor force or even children?

Su Qingfeng obviously thought about this and gradually fell into deep thought.

He didn't suggest that.

To be honest, if the cicada was caught, even if the entire Su family went out to catch it, it would be worth his monthly salary at most for two months.

In addition, he has to go to work during the day, and must ensure sleep and practice cooking skills at night.

Cooking is what makes him eat, and there is absolutely no reason to abandon the good and the bad just because he caught the cicada.

So it was quite natural for Su Qingfeng to bring up this topic.

"Cicada monkeys can indeed be sold for money. Everyone knows how to catch them. Just be careful when catching them. The town's collection station is limited in what they can collect. And what happened today will definitely spread to other villages. "

"So if you want to sell cicada monkeys, you must act quickly. Otherwise, if it's too late, you may have to take them home and eat them."

It’s not bad for eating though.

But eating... where can I have money?
How many meals can this cicada monkey eat?

But if the money is exchanged for food, it can last for several months.

As soon as they heard Su Qingfeng's correct words, the team leader and the old party secretary immediately got busy.

As long as you can make money and keep people full, that's a big deal.

Before leaving, the old party secretary, who was much older, still held Su Qingfeng's hand, and his wrinkled face gradually relaxed, revealing a sincere smile.

Su Qingfeng looked at their leaving figures with some discomfort.

It's all the fault of poverty.

The team leader and the old party secretary are full of action.

After finishing the meal, each household was still struggling to catch the monkey, and some were even on their way there. The gongs and drums in the village were beating from house to house. After a while, the news of the gathering on the grain field was announced. It spread throughout Sujia Village.

The momentum was so great that even the old man in the bullpen received the news.

When Widow Qiao heard the news, she looked at a piece of mirror fragment, looked at the figure reflected on it, and smiled. Her plump figure had the unique flavor of a married woman.

She had her hair tied in a braid and hung diagonally on her chest, making her neck look as white as mutton-fat white jade.

After doing all this, she walked out of the door, twisted her waist, and headed to the drying field.

It's just that she walked the right way, but deliberately made a big circle, right on the route Su Qingfeng was going.

　I spent a lot of time looking for prices today and am writing slowly. I have to catch the high-speed train tomorrow, so I need to sleep first.Update 6k today, good night
