Jiang Xinyu changed places to wait for Comrade Chen Xiuyun. She still knew which direction she went at that time.
I found a secluded place to poke my head around. I pinched a piece of thirty-five cents in my hand and felt a little itchy. I wanted to go to the scrapyard in the county town.
Although the county seat is a county seat, it only has a few more vertical and horizontal streets than the town. One street in the town can be seen all the way to the end. The county seat has only a few more streets than the town, but the roads on the streets are not cement roads. , it still looks shabby.
Jiang Xinyu waited for another ten minutes before Chen Xiuyun appeared in her sight carrying a basket.
Jiang Xinyu hurriedly showed up to greet her, then turned around and left with her mother.
"All the nine yuan in my basket were bought by one person..."
Jiang Xinyu told Chen Xiuyun what had just happened, and as expected, she was scolded by Chen Xiuyun. Chen Xiuyun became nervous thinking about what might happen, and felt that this girl was so bold and infuriating.
Jiang Xinyu shrank her neck when she was told that, but she didn't forget to poke her head in and said, "Mom, let's go to the scrap station and have a look."
Chen Xiuyun knocked on her and said, "If you don't go back quickly, why are you waiting!" What if someone comes to find the red sleeve band and arrest her! Although there is a possibility, Chen Xiuyun knows that the possibility is very small. After all, some time has passed. But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens!
Jiang Xinyu was scolded and retracted her head like a doormat. She started to jog and followed Chen Xiuyun's fast and tight pace. She was panting from exhaustion.
When they arrived in town, Chen Xiuyun took her to the supply and marketing cooperative. When they arrived, the queue was crowded, and they had to wait in line for a long time to get in.
After entering the supply and marketing cooperative, Chen Xiuyun bought four kilograms of white flour. She had some receipts from her parents' family, which was enough for the time being. If she didn't have enough in the future, she would have to buy white flour on the black market.
This is the first time Jiang Xinyu has entered a supply and marketing cooperative since arriving here. There are also supply and marketing cooperative outlets in the brigade, but the variety is not as wide as here.
The doors and windows of the supply and marketing cooperative are very wide, and the counter is very high. Behind the counter are high shelves with various commodities on them.
The attitude of the salesperson is completely different from that of later generations of service salespersons. It is no exaggeration to say that you can judge people by their nostrils. It is said that the eldest sister of the original owner, Jiang Zhenzhen, is now a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative, but from the commune next door.
One pound of white flour cost 17 cents, and four pounds cost Chen Xiuyun 68 cents. Then she bought another pound of mung beans, weighed one pound of loose sugar and two pounds of white sugar, and then bought several exercise books.
After spending a little over a dollar in total, Chen Xiuyun stopped. Although he had made money in the past two days, he still had to save some money.
There are quite a few people in the brigade of the supply and marketing cooperative, and Ma Meili also came to buy new year's goods today. After Chen Xiuyun talked to people she knew, Ma Meili carried the purchased things and left the supply and marketing cooperative with the two of them.
"Sister-in-law, when did you and Xinyu come? I went to your house to find you, and Yuzhu said you had already left. Why did you come in later than me?"
Chen Xiuyun said calmly: "Xinyu had a stomachache on the way, which delayed her for a while."
Jiang Xinyu: “…”!
Ma Meili said: "The eldest sister took Huzi to her mother-in-law and told her that she wanted to adopt Huzi to the eldest brother and you. The third brother said that I would tell you later, so you can accept it."
Ma Meili sold Jiang Guisheng without hesitation. She heard Qiangen, but she knew that Jiang Guisheng wanted his mother-in-law to make up for the twenty-five yuan for the third family's family. Why? Why should the parents-in-law live with them? It's from her family!
Ma Meili is not worried at all about her parents-in-law secretly subsidizing Chen Xiuyun, mother and daughter, because this is impossible! Even if the sun rises in the west, it is impossible!
Maintaining a friendly relationship with people who have no interest in it is the right attitude for Ma Meimei.
"Sister-in-law, let me tell you, it's okay if you can raise a son. At least you can give your eldest brother a wife, but I don't like the eldest aunt's son..."
Ma Meili thought she was good to Chen Xiuyun, but when Balabala told her, Chen Xiuyun didn't even want to talk to her.
After getting home, Ma Meili said her mouth was dry.
When Jiang Xinyu returned home, Jiang Yuzhu was beating pig pancakes in the house.
"Where did it come from?"
Jiang Yuzhu rubbed her hands: "Chen Yi sent it here. Aunt Wang's pigs were killed. I heard from Xiuhua that her pigs were rated as first-class pigs, and the purchase price is seventy-three cents per pound."
Jiang Yuzhu was tired of pounding, so Jiang Xinyu pushed it up after eating. Looking at 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 the New Year's Day, Jiang Xinyu and Chen Xiuyun went to the county together every day, selling thirty pieces a day. After excluding the expenses, Chen Xiuyun had nearly ten yuan in his hand.
Chen Xiuyun was very satisfied. Workers in factories in the city only earned 20 yuan a month. She made a lot of money from cakes and cakes.
On the New Year's Day, Chen Xiuyun made dumplings stuffed with pork and wild vegetables. When she took a bite, she found that they were full of meat. Jiang Xinyu was lucky enough to eat dumplings for the first time since arriving here, and they were made of white flour!
In addition to dumplings, Chen Xiuyun also mixed a homemade mung bean sprout with it and ate it.
After finishing the meal, I didn't want to throw away the noodle soup. I added some sweet potatoes, wheat bran and cornmeal, and poured two small basins for the pigs and dogs.
Jiang Xinyu thought of pastries that she could make in the past few days, but they used too much sugar and oil. She just mentioned it and was rejected by Chen Xiuyun.
Thinking about the taste of Shaqima, Jiang Xinyu could only smack her mouth in her heart.
Chen Xiuyun felt that the two kinds of pastries were enough to sell, and they could be sold out stably and quickly every day, so there was really no need to bother with anything else.
While Jiang Xinyu was busy studying and making money, the Jiang family next door went quiet for a while.
When Jiang Xinyu came back from the county on the 28th, she heard from Jiang Yuzhu that Chen Yi had become a temporary movie projectionist in the commune.
Jiang Xinyu had heard this news before, but she had no idea that Chen Yi was the most popular person in the team in recent days.
Li Lei from Captain Li's family is the only urban worker in the brigade, and he is already the best son-in-law candidate for the seven aunts and eight aunts in the brigade. Chen Yichang's handsome man is now also eating "imperial food", so he can't let others
Envy?
His yard is spacious and he has an enviable job. Who wouldn’t want her to be his son-in-law?
The business reached 29, and we brought in 47 today, and they were sold very quickly.
Most of the people who come to buy pastries are repeat customers, and there are also new customers attracted by repeat customers.
Chen Xiuyun's cake sales went very smoothly. What impressed her most was a middle-aged man with a slightly bulging belly who was well-dressed. As long as he went there, he would buy jujube cakes by the dozen. When she met him, she could always go home early.
No one has come to check the black market recently, so Chen Xiuyun is still very lucky.
She was in a good mood, and when she came home that day, there was a large piece of pork belly in her basket. This was exchanged by the pork seller for pastries with her. Chen Xiuyun had calculated that her pastries were only at cost.
In exchange for these two pounds of meat, I made a profit.
