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

Chapter 210 Qiao He’s hookup

Su Qingfeng was walking on the road, and while walking, he seemed to smell the aroma of camphor wood.

The aroma of camphor wood is a bit like the smell of his mother's hair.

Su Qingfeng still remembered how the aroma of camphor wood came from.

Back then, Su Siwei, in order to please his wife, asked for some wood shavings from a carpenter, soaked them in green oil, soaked them for ten days and a half, and then used them to comb his hair. Not only could his hair be combed smooth and smooth, It's bright and has a faint scent of camphor wood.

Because of Su Siwei's thoughts, everyone in the village, whether they were unmarried girls or married aunts, couldn't help but envy Bai Jing.

Su Siwei was indeed a bastard sometimes, but there was one good thing about him. He didn't have as much fuss as ordinary second-rate men, and he never beat his wife. In the past, when Su Qingfeng was still a stupid son, I never heard him dislike her in the slightest.

This alone is better than most of the men in the village.

But then again, this camphor wood fragrance is a little different from Bai Jing's.

Bai Jing's body was also mixed with the faint fragrance of ink, which smelled very comfortable.

But the smell that I smell now is too strong, and there is another aroma. The strong fragrance is coming from all over the place, making Su Qingfeng's head feel buzzing and painful.

He stood still, a gust of wind passed by, but there was no movement.

He was not in a hurry and just stood there.

Maybe the other party felt that if the stalemate continued like this, it would be a waste of time.

So Qiao He gradually walked out of the woods nearby.

As she walked, her waist twisted and twisted. With Su Qingfeng's eyesight, she could clearly see that this seemingly ordinary dress was actually slightly tightened at the waist and the buttons on the collar were slightly open.

The floral shirt seemed to have been worn for a long time. It was still new and not old. There was some light on the chest, revealing the unique vest of this era.

Just because of the large size, Qiao He can wear it with a different feeling even if it is a small vest.

Seeing Su Qingfeng's eyes on her, Qiao He's lips curled up slightly, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

After all, he is a young boy who has never seen the world.

No matter how good a cook you are, no matter how high your salary is, if you meet a more charming woman like her, don't you still have to stop cooking?
Su Qingfeng didn't know what Qiao He was thinking.

He just glanced at Qiao He, and then quickly looked away, feeling in his heart the hardships faced by women in this era.

A corset like this, which is so bulky and has no future generations, is drooping like this...

Of course, he didn't dare to say this.

If you say it, you will become a hooligan.

When Qiao He saw Su Qingfeng turning away his eyes, he thought he was shy. He felt confident and felt a little shy. His eyes were watery and affectionate, and he said softly, "Qingfeng, are you going to dry the grain?"

Su Qingfeng looked around and saw no one. He felt wary and took three steps back slightly before saying, "Yes."

Seeing him like this, Qiao He felt a little worried, but when he thought about Su Qingfeng's age, he understood.

As a young boy, it is normal to be timid and shy.

Especially when meeting a... veteran like her who has been on the battlefield for many years.

Thinking of this, Qiao He didn't know whether he should be happy or laugh at himself.

But soon, she cheered up again.

"Qingfeng, is it true that cicada monkeys can be sold for money?"

Su Qingfeng glanced at Qiao He indifferently, "Auntie, you will know this obvious thing when you go to the grain drying farm. Why are you asking me? Is it a waste of our time?"

When Qiao He heard this, his face turned green.

At the same time, she couldn't believe it.

This is completely different from the answer and attitude I imagined!

She looked at Su Qingfeng, feeling suddenly uneasy.

Qiao He treated Su Qingfeng in the same way he usually treated those men. While being charming, he also looked at him a little shyly:
"This cicada monkey looks scary, I don't dare to catch it...Qingfeng, can you help my sister?"

Su Qingfeng chuckled.

The old cucumber is painted green.

In front of him, a veteran gangster pretended to be a girl, which was not a shame.

Although Qiao He didn't name him, Su Qingfeng could still tell.

What she meant was that she obviously wanted Su Qingfeng to work for her in vain, help her catch monkeys, and finally go to the town to sell them for her, and hand over the money and tickets to Qiao He.

Su Qingfeng didn't even know where she got such a big face?
Su Qingfeng immediately took a detour and left.

At the end, he left one sentence:

"If you can't bear this hardship, don't enjoy this blessing. Auntie, do I look like someone who has been taken advantage of?"

With the words "Auntie," Qiao He's complexion turned from red to white, and then to blue again.

Why was Su Qingfeng willing to help, but couldn't help her as a widow? !
Su Qingfeng left, and Qiao He didn't bother to pretend to be a girl.

At this moment, she couldn't help but think of Su Qingfeng's eyes before leaving. She didn't think anything of it at the time, but looking back now, the meaning in his eyes was clearly ridicule.

Qiao He only felt as if he had been slapped, and his face was burning with pain.

But even so, listening to the sound of gongs and drums that could be heard almost everywhere in Sujia Village, Qiao He pursed his lips and waited until the embarrassment on his face faded slightly before walking towards the grain drying field.

……

Drying field.

At this time, almost everyone in Sujia Village was mobilized.

From old ladies and gentlemen at home, to children as young as five or six years old, almost all those who could walk out of the house.

It was almost July now, and some men who were intolerant of the heat were holding cattail fans in their hands and fanning them.

But the wind was also sultry, blowing every now and then. Instead of cooling me down, it actually made me feel anxious.

Someone was the first to be impatient and couldn't help but ask, "Is this thing about catching monkeys true or false? Just because of this, the whole village was called up, what if... it's just those few What are you kidding me about? Isn’t that just a joke?”

The man next to him glanced at the speaker and said, "Are you stupid? Everything else can be fake, but the money your kid got back is finally real, right?"

"Besides, if you don't trust your child, do you think you still don't trust the captain and the old party secretary?"

Hearing this, the rest of the people nodded in agreement.

In fact, there is one thing they haven't said yet. If they take a step back and say it, even if they don't believe the captain, they won't distrust the old party secretary.

The old branch secretary took them all the way from the famine years.

However, if this is true...

The aunt with thick eyebrows and big eyes next to her listened to the whole story, and her eyes lit up slightly.

"My Tietou gave me [-] cents today. Doesn't this mean that as long as all five members of the family go out, we can earn [-] cents a day! Let me do the math... If it is [-] cents a day, that's how much it is in a month... ..." The aunt started counting with her fingers, but by the time she reached the end, she couldn't figure out clearly.

I can’t make enough money at all!

If I could keep catching cicadas, I wouldn’t be able to make enough money!
When she said this, the surrounding villagers gradually became excited and looked forward to the appearance of the captain and the old party secretary.

Let me tell you whether this is possible or not!
Now I can't move up or down, and it's uncomfortably tight.

A group of people were talking among themselves when they saw Widow Qiao.

I have to say that although Su Qingfeng complained that Qiao He was an old cucumber with green paint, her appearance was indeed pretty good.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many second-rate men and old widowers wandering around her like flies.

Seeing Qiao He walking towards her gracefully, many men's eyes stopped on her.

Even the women in the village looked at her with a somewhat unkind look.

Qiao He glanced at the girls and saw that their complexions were dark and yellow, their lips were peeling off, and he couldn't help but hum in his heart.

The self-confidence that was hurt before in front of Su Qingfeng rose again.

But this kind of "stars overtaking the moon" gaze didn't stay on her for long before she felt that these gazes receded like the tide, and instead focused on a figure - Su Qingfeng.

It's Su Qingfeng again!
Qiao He turned his head, deliberately pretending not to see.

But just because she thinks she can't see it doesn't mean that others can't see it.

Speaking of which, Su Qingfeng is now the most promising young man in Sujia Village. There are many people who want to please him, including Qiao He.

Although Qiao He was standing there, Su Qingfeng was already surrounded by people.

A bunch of people were chattering away, and in fact they were just talking about the problems between the East family and the West family. After asking a few more nonsense, Su Qingfeng didn't show any impatience and replied with a smile. .

The people in the village were interested in making friends, and seeing his pleasant attitude, they became more and more fond of Su Qingfeng.

It's about time.

The captain held a big loudspeaker and shouted at the top of his lungs.

The sun drying field suddenly became quiet.

The captain's words were not so vain.

The general idea is very simple, even the old lady can hear it clearly.

That is, if you catch cicada monkeys, you can indeed sell them for money.

At the shopping center in the town, a pound of cicada monkey costs three cents.

If you want to make money, you have to be fast, because the market for cicada monkeys is limited. So many were sold in Sujia Village today, and there are still many women in the village who have to take care of their parents' families.

Therefore, it is almost obvious that the news that monkeys can make money spreads to other villages.

Therefore, if you want to make more money, you can only seize the opportunity and eat a large piece of cake before others.

When the captain said this, the whole village became excited.

Although they were confident before, it was not until this moment that the stone in their hearts fell to the ground.

Immediately, a sense of urgency came over them.

There was almost no need for urging from the team leader or the village party secretary. In every household, strong laborers, women, old people in their fifties and sixties, and children as young as five or six years old, almost all took tools and ran under the trees to catch the monkeys. went.

The captain and the village party secretary looked at the huge crowd and were a little dazed.

Especially the old party secretary couldn't help but smile and sigh, "If they are so active in working, then I won't worry."

I didn't see the famous lazy people in the village. After hearing that cicada monkeys could be sold for money, they became very active. They looked completely different from the lazy people they usually look like when working.

The captain also held these guys, there was nothing he could do.

After thinking that this summer, the people in the village might be able to make more money and their lives would be much better, the word "Sichuan" hidden in his brows suddenly disappeared between his brows.

Su Qingfeng couldn't stand it after catching the cicada monkey.

Too many people.

There were so many cicadas that my ears were buzzing.

Thinking of this, Su Qingfeng simply went back home and brought a pot by himself, a small satchel around his waist, and a small bottle of rapeseed oil in the satchel.

Although Su Qingfeng was about to get married, he was still a little irritated when faced with the prying and fawning of some second-rate people in the village, so he simply found an excuse and mingled with the children.

Seeing Su Qingfeng leave, some of the second-rate men looked unhappy.

One of them had a quarrel with Su Siwei in the past, but now that he saw Su Qingfeng and even the Su family getting angry, he did not dare to talk about the past grudges anymore, so he could only say sourly:
"The Su family is really different now. We people are no longer looked upon..."

The few people next to him were also well-known second-rate men in the village, but when they heard this, they didn't even bat an eyelid.

Even after hearing this, someone said something back, "When people talk to you, you think they are showing off their power; when they ignore you, you say you don't care about them. No matter what, Su Qingfeng is a typo." . If it were me, I wouldn’t be happy to deal with you. Annoying!”

That man was also quite outspoken.

After saying that, he left directly.

The second-rate guy who had just made a small talk was left behind. He was so angry that he threw the bottle and couldn't help but cursed, "Damn it, one or two of them will just follow the wind and make the rudder!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the cicada monkeys in his bottle, which were originally full, were scattered in all directions and spread in a dense pile on the ground, which looked simply numb.

But at this moment, the second-rate man was more heartbroken.

It's all money!

……

the other side.

Su Qingfeng, however, picked up a large spoon and stood in front of a simple stove made of adobe bricks. Sweat was flowing on his forehead, but his face was relaxed and happy.

On the earthen stove, in an iron pot, cicada monkeys were fried repeatedly on rapeseed oil, like pancakes, and then sprinkled with a little salt. When it was served hot, Su Qingfeng took a bite One, I think this is perfect for making snacks.

However, as cicada monkey is a high-protein food, people who are allergic to protein should also pay attention to whether some people with protein allergies may have abnormal reactions to it.

The golden and crispy cicada monkey becomes more acceptable after pinching off the head and tail.

A group of children watched Su Qingfeng chewing eagerly, quite excited.

Su Qingfeng looked at them and said with a smile, "Want to eat? I can make it for you. You just need to give me a little cicada."

Everyone only takes a few of them, so it doesn't hurt at all. Even for the children, the cicada monkeys they take away are not as expensive as the oil and salt needed for cooking.

But for Su Qingfeng, this intermediary-like approach saves time and energy.

After picking out a whole plate of cicada monkeys, Su Qingfeng saw that no one was paying attention and went into a forest with few people.
