Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 5: Everything is ready (Please read the new book!)
After lunch, while taking a break, Li Shankui asked while smoking his dry pipe: "Xiao Yi, dad wants to ask you, what do you plan to do in the future?"

"What do you mean?"

"You're going to have a family soon. You can't just sit around at home all the time. You have to find something to do!"

Before Li Yi could speak, Li Na on the side said with disdain: "What can he do with his thin skin and tender flesh? He can't bend down to do farm work, and he has no way to go to the factory!"

Tang Xue subconsciously looked at Li Yi and found that he was indeed as Li Na said. His skin was delicate and fair, with white powder, and with a square face and wide eyebrows, he was quite good-looking.

If the clothes on his body weren't a little tattered, he wouldn't be inferior to the young guys in the city at all.

But the more this happens, the sadder Tang Xue feels!

What's the point of being good-looking, but it can't be eaten!

This is a rural area. Whose children are not the strong labor force of the family, whose hands are not soft from farm work, whose skin is not exposed to the wind and sun until it looks like a baked potato, whose hands are not covered with calluses?

Except for Li Yi, it would be difficult for the entire Nianzishan brigade to find such delicate skin.

Tang Xue couldn't help but want to cry when she thought that she would have to live with such a person who couldn't hold it with her hands or carry it on her shoulders for the rest of her life!
If she didn't want to go back to the city for some special reasons, she would really want to leave.
"Dad, what do you think about me selling cold skin in the county?" Li Yi suddenly said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shankui's expression changed and his voice suddenly increased: "You are crazy. This is speculation. If you are caught, you will go to jail!"

Hearing the word "go to jail", Zhang Yuehong became anxious and said hurriedly: "Son, you can't be a fool. If we really can't do it, we can just farm at home. With your father and I helping you, I won't let you and Xiaoxue do it." Hungry!"

Li Yi immediately said: "It's just setting up a small stall to sell some cold skin. What kind of speculation is this?"

Then Li Yi said again: "Dad, I read the newspaper a few days ago. Since a large number of educated youth have returned to the city to find jobs, in order to solve the livelihood of these people, the country has allowed these educated youth to "practice stalls" on the streets."

"Moreover, as mentioned above, cases of opportunism are mainly reviewed and handled by the industrial and commercial administration departments. Only cases with serious circumstances and major speculative cases that require investigation will be handed over to the public security organs for handling. Even if our cold skin selling is deemed to be opportunistic, it will definitely be more Even if your illegal income is confiscated by the industrial and commercial administration department, you will definitely not go to jail!"

Li Shankui hesitated for a moment, but still said firmly: "That won't work either. Look at who in the city dares to do this. Once caught, that's a typical example!"

"Dad, as my third sister said, I can't stand the hardships of farm work, and no one wants to join the factory. Can you support me for a while, or for a lifetime?"

Then Li Yi said again: "Liangpi is definitely a new thing in our Qingshan County. It's delicious and not expensive, and the cost is not high. To say the least, even if the city really doesn't allow stalls to be set up, there won't be much loss. , so I want to try it!”

Hearing Li Yi's words, Li Shankui's expression relaxed. After a long silence, he finally said: "Isn't this really speculation?"

"That's not true!" Li Yi said with certainty.

"Then give it a try. If they really don't let you sell it, then don't sell it!" Li Shankui said.

"Okay, I listen to you!"

At this time, Li Na frowned and said, "You really plan to sell this thing. Can you make money from it?"

“I don’t know if I can make money, but I won’t lose money!”

Although he said this, Li Yi knew very well that he could make money by setting up a stall at this time.

The reason is also very simple. On the one hand, due to policy reasons, no one dares to set up street stalls blatantly, so there are no competitors.

On the other hand, with the development of the economy, the income of ordinary people has increased significantly.

And with money, consumption will naturally increase, which means there is a market.

There is a market but no competitors. If you still can't make money, then it's really unreasonable.

However, Li Yi cannot tell his family clearly, otherwise they will think that he is bragging. It is better to wait until he makes money and speak with the facts!

"As long as you can't lose anything, do you need help?" Li Na asked again.Although she didn't believe that this useless brother could really make money by selling Liangpi, this was the first time that Li Yi proposed to make a living, and she still wanted to help him, just in case it happened!

Li Yi immediately shook his head and said, "No need, I can handle this!"

"That!"

At this time, Tang Xue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Uncle, aunt, I want to go back to the educated youth spot later!"

Li Shankui opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he could only form the word "um"!

He was a little worried that the child would be wronged when he went back. Although it had only been half a day, the whole brigade was talking about it. Li Shankui and the others heard a lot of gossip when they came back from the fields.

If possible, he really didn't want Tang Xue to go back to the educated youth center, so he could just stay at his house.

But this is even worse. If you get into bed with someone before you get married, and then live directly in the man's house, it will be difficult to raise your head in the village in the future.

Li Yi obviously thought of this, so he did not try to persuade him to stay, but said to his third sister Li Na: "Sister, you go back with Xiaoxue in the afternoon, and you don't have to work in the fields these days. If anyone dares to gossip, don't You're welcome, just fight back!"

Li Na was also a little worried about Tang Xue's condition, so she immediately nodded and said, "Okay!"

When Tang Xue heard this, she felt a little touched in her heart.

Although this guy is a little confused, he is not without merit. At least he is responsible, can cook, and cares about her.

If I had a serious business, my life would not be impossible!
For a moment, she couldn't help but be crazy!
After eating, Li Shankui and his wife only rested for less than half an hour before going to work in the fields under the scorching sun, but they left the mule cart behind because Li Yi wanted to use it.

At 02:30 in the afternoon, Li Yi drove Tang Xue and Li Na back to the educated youth point in the village committee compound with a mule cart.

Then, he drove the mule cart to the back mountain.

Since you are going to set up a stall to sell cold skin, you have to prepare some things.

Ingredients and other ingredients are available at home, but what is lacking now are bowls and chopsticks.

In later generations, cold skins were sold in plastic bags, but now there is no place for him to pack them.

At first, Li Yi was going to use a bowl, but looking at the big bowls at home with holes everywhere, Li Yi could only shake his head helplessly.

He wanted to buy a few bowls, but now his pocket is cleaner than his face, and the price of new bowls is not cheap, and Li Yi needs more, so this idea flashed through his mind.

After much thought, Li Yi finally thought of using a bamboo tube instead of a bowl!

Bamboo tubes are indeed a good container, and they are everywhere. As long as they are polished well, they can be used as bowls.

After two hours of tinkering in the bamboo forest, Li Yi returned home with half a cart of thick bamboos.

The next step is the process of making bamboo tubes. Use a saw to cut the bamboo into 12 cm high bamboo tubes, and then polish them with a file until the inside and outside become smooth and delicate.

This was not over yet. Then Li Yi found a carving knife and carved simple patterns on the bamboo tube.

Li Yi spent the entire afternoon making relevant preparations.

By the time the sun went down, he had already made 50 bamboo tubes and more than 60 pairs of bamboo chopsticks. In addition, he filtered out more than ten kilograms of flour and fried half a pot of spicy peppers.

After some preparations, Li Yi’s business of setting up a stall to sell cold skin is ready, all he needs is the east wind!
