Chapter 49: Tyrannical Destruction
Grandma asked, "Why are there so many copper coins?"
"This has been saved for more than ten years and has not been sold, the scrap iron was taken away by the iron factory of the commune, these years the bronze and the four old stained edges, the bronze ware is closed, no one wants the scrap copper, so it has been put away. ”
Youyou picked a few rare copper coins, and reluctantly followed her grandmother out. As he walked, he asked, "Concubine, what are you doing with a room full of hair?"
"That's for the sting. ”
"What's the sticky?"
"It is to mix the broken hair in the lime plaster, and make the wall skin strong. ”
Youyou was speechless for a moment, and instantly understood what it meant to destroy the heavens.
"So good hair to wipe the wall?" said Yoyo, with his hands stretched out more than a foot long.
"Long hair is for export, and broken and messy hair is used for hemp and sticky," my aunt explained.
My aunt brought a basin of clean water and asked Grandma and Yoyo to wash their hands. Then, he handed you a quick hot meat bun, and then gave a piece to grandma: "Auntie, you eat a piece while it's hot, and it's a good time to have fried meat and steamed buns in the restaurant today." "It turns out that the third aunt went out just now to buy food for them.
"Well, I really haven't eaten it in a long time, so you can eat it while it's hot. ”
"Aunt, you can eat, I will work here, and it is more convenient than you to eat. ”
The meat bun is similar to the meat box, the difference is that the meat bun is divided into several layers, one layer is sandwiched with a layer of meat filling, and the size is also large, a meat bun is larger than two meat boxes, in order to hold it conveniently, it is generally cut from the middle and then sold.
You take a bite, the skin is crispy and the inside is tender, the oily meat and chives are fragrant, mixed together, the mouth is full of fragrance, the thin dough is strong and smooth, soaked in the freshness of the gravy, and it is a superb local food.
The third aunt bought five meat buns and ten large meat buns, wrapped a large bag with a clean rag, and asked grandma to take them back and divide them among the families.
You pulled your grandma, and grandma accepted it happily, took out a piece of pork belly weighing about two catties from the basket and handed it over.
"I happened to meet the stationmaster today, and I gave me a lot of meat, and you can take it back and eat it. ”
My aunt saw that there was indeed some in my grandmother's basket, so I took it. "Aunt, you always think about us, and last time you brought us socks, and you took care of us when you always made money. ”
"My aunt can make two money, thanks to you and me, if it weren't for your help, your aunt would be able to open a sales agency. Don't talk about this, I still have to go to buy, and our mother and daughter will be free in Laqua in the future. ”
On the way home, Yoyo and his grandmother discussed how to buy the copper coins from the purchase station. Grandma said: "A jar of copper coins costs 500 catties, and a dollar and a pound cost more than 500 yuan, even if we can buy it, we can't afford it." If you really want it, let your grandfather go and pick up some good ones for you. You three concubines can still do it if you work there. ”
When you think of these copper coins being melted away as scrap copper, you feel a pain in your liver, and since she has been bumped, she has to think about it, otherwise she will be sorry for the name of the person who crossed it.
Alas, others are so busy crossing and mixing, why is it so difficult for yourself!
Although things are cheap now, no matter how cheap they are, they have to be bought with money. Besides, there are too many things that Yoyo wants to buy, silver dollars, copper coins, hair, stamps, villain books, portrait seals, posters, Yoyo wants to buy everything he sees, don't look at the consignment point and earn more than 2,000 yuan, even 20,000 yuan is not enough for her Huohuo.
Thinking of the description of the seventies in the novel that money can't be spent, Yoyo himself dislikes himself for being stupid, a dignified business genius, who has no ability to make money and always thinks about spending money.
But it's so hard to make money, and it doesn't have a fair way to do business. Now everything is a planned economy, and there is no word for commodities. Everything is goods, incoming and outgoing. Privately trading is speculative, falls within the scope of the government's crackdown, and is punishable by imprisonment in serious cases.
After 73 years, although there was a slight relaxation and the market was liberalized, it was basically a small purchase and a small sale, which belonged to the category of people's own production and self-sale, and large transactions were still not allowed.
Although the existence of the black market is well known, its existence is also limited, and it must not disturb the social order.
Later, with the fall of the "Gang of Four", the situation improved, and the market gradually opened up. Some bold people bought and sold and took the lead in breaking a path to prosperity, belonging to the group of people who "supported the bold" and became the richest man in China.
Youyou believes that if you want to earn sufficient start-up capital, you still have to go to the black market in the county town and free up a batch of urgently needed materials.
Thinking of the green military uniform that everyone admired in this era, it was sold for a high price of 50 yuan on the black market. Youyou discussed with her grandmother to go to the county seat again, find Luo Xincai to sell fifty sets of military uniforms, and try his character by the way.
When the two got home at eleven o'clock, their mother had already finished school. Grandma divided the meat box to Haohao, Zhiyuan, and Zhigao, and Didi and Grandpa two pieces, leaving four more buns. I took the leftover meat buns, buns and two catties of pork belly and sent them to my uncle's house.
Mom was busy stewing meat, and Yoyo helped to light the fire. Seeing the cleanly washed mushrooms, my mother praised her for her neat work.
"That's a must, and I don't see who gave birth to the girl. "You's poor, and my mother is embarrassed
"I really don't know who you're following this poor mouth. ”
"Of course, it's with Comrade Wu Weihua, didn't grandma say that I follow the roots of the old Wu family. ”
"Wu Weihua, come and see your good girl, I really don't see where you are a nerd. ”
Dad heard the voice and came over: "What's wrong girl, I've messed with your mother again." ”
"How dare I provoke your daughter-in-law, it's your daughter who is being bullied. ”
"Come, girl, dad burns the pot, you can play. "Separate you, pull the fight trick.
Grandma came back and took out the clothes she had bought for her father and mother, saying that the supply and marketing cooperatives had just come in, which made her parents' eyes red.
At noon, the family was satisfied with the big bone meat stewed mushrooms, and Yoyo and Didi held a bone and gnawed it so fragrantly, rubbing their faces full of oil, and each of the three brothers ate two bowls.
Grandma dislikes Youyou: "Born poor, if you don't eat meat, you can gnaw bones." ”
Dad said: "Bones are rich in calcium, which is the best food for children and the elderly to supplement calcium, especially in spring, eating more bones is conducive to bone growth and development." ”
"Look, this is the conclusion of the academic authority, grandma, you can no longer buy fat according to the old concept in the future, and you must also talk about science when eating. "Yoyo pulls the tiger skin and pulls the flag.
"I've just had a good meal for a few days, and you're quite good at finding reasons for your greed. ”
"Grandma, I'm really greedy for what you said, let's eat chicken stewed mushrooms tomorrow." "Children who are not greedy, Yoyo completely regards himself as a five-year-old child, and directly ignores the fact that he is already twenty-seven years old.
"Eat, we still have two roosters at home, I'll kill you when I'm free. Soak the remaining mushrooms in salted water to keep them fresh. "Grandma is now responsive.
