In the Alpine brigade, every household began to prepare for the New Year's goods.

In this era of scarcity of materials, the New Year often has to be prepared little by little like ants moving for more than a month.

The corn of the four teams was finally picked, and the fresh corn was immediately sent to the supply and marketing cooperative, and the remaining corn stalks became a sweet spot in the eyes of all the children.

Fresh corn stalks have a sweet taste, are a substitute for sugar cane, and are a rare snack for kids.

The family was given a corn stalk, Qiao Jiayue didn't like to eat it, it was the same as sugarcane, as long as she ate it, her tongue would hurt for several days, but it was uncomfortable.

Qiao Hongzhi likes to eat sweets, and this whole root is not enough for him to gnaw, so Qiao Jiayue gave him her share.

Qiao's father went to the commune to sell corn and came back, and said happily that the commune was going to open a market from December 12 to December 16.

Last year, the other brigades sold so many things, which made the Gaoshan brigade envious, and the four production teams pondered and pondered, planning to sell dried straw mushrooms, dried fish, and dried rabbit meat.

Moreover, everyone has heard from the radio that the central authorities are encouraging the common people to expand production and open bazaars, and as long as they do not sell grain and do not arbitrarily raise prices, there will certainly be no problem.

This year's market was announced early, so when the market opened, in addition to the members of Taoxi Commune, many people from other communes and county towns also came to catch the market.

Qiao Jiayue doesn't like crowds, but she still came to the market this time, hoping to find something good.

Turning around, Qiao Jiayue bought two baret seedlings and a large basket of pineapples.

The goods in the bazaar are still very rich.

There are more than a dozen brigades in Taoxi Commune, chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and fish are not uncommon, and then all kinds of winter fruits, vegetables, dried vegetables, plus all kinds of homemade food, although not as good as later generations, but it has been much more abundant than in previous years.

In fact, Qiao Jiayue still wanted to buy some oranges, I heard that they were sent by car from the commune next door, and they were almost sold out.

However, Qiao's mother's budget was limited, and Qiao Jiayue couldn't buy and buy to her heart's content.

After walking around, Qiao Jiayue suddenly found that there was no one selling spices in the market.

Now it's very happy to have meat to eat, it's good to stir-fry a dish with a little salt, who would think about putting seasoning?

But the famine has passed, and the days are getting better and better, and Qiao Jiayue firmly believes that there will be a market for spices.

She told Qiao's father about the idea, and waited for him to agree.

Many members of other brigades are selling things, but they are only in the name of the production team, and in fact, the income from selling is their own and is not counted in the public account.

There are still a few days left in the bazaar, and Qiao Jiayue doesn't believe that no one in the Alpine Brigade has an idea.

Father Qiao had noticed this situation a long time ago, he thought about it and agreed, "Okay, buy whatever raw materials you need, and I'll give you the money." ”

He still couldn't bear to refuse his daughter, and when she told her idea with bright eyes, she was even more ruthless.

Qiao Jiayue already had an idea in her heart, many herbs could be bought from Granny Lan, and if they couldn't be bought in other markets, they would go to the pharmacy.

In her previous life, although she was muddy, she also had a bit of a brain, and occasionally went to the vegetable market to set up a stall to sell seasonings, which was her main source of income in addition to picking up garbage.

In the afternoon, there were members in the team who wanted to go home, so Qiao Jiayue followed back with the things she bought.

She also had to call her three brothers to help.

"Yue'er, can you really succeed?" Qiao Hongzhi looked at the blades of grass or grass roots in front of him, and some of them still exuded a strange smell, all of which made him doubt his sister's decision.

Qiao Jiayue raised her chin, "It's okay, big brother, help quickly." ”

At this time, a small dryer comes in handy, some spices are compounded, and after cooking together, as long as one of them is cooked, it is dried and then ground into powder.

Qiao Hongyuan was rude, and was finally driven by Qiao Jiayue to burn the fire, only Qiao Hongyuan and Qiao Hongliang helped, after all, the ratio of seasonings is relatively fine, and the taste is very bad.

One day and two nights, with the help of her three elder brothers, Qiao Jiayue made three baskets of seasonings.

Qiao Hongyuan was actually very skeptical that this kind of seasoning could be sold, he was afraid that Qiao Jiayue would be hit and wanted to sell it for her.

But Qiao Jiayue refused, "Big brother, this is my own idea, whether anyone buys it or not, I have to bear the consequences." ”

"I will pay for the raw materials and the wages for your help. Qiao Jiayue said vigorously.

Listening to these words, Qiao Hongyuan's eyes widened slightly, and his heart was a little lost, but there was a little relief in between.

My sister has grown up!

On the third day of the market, the flow of people did not decrease, but increased, and many people from the city rushed to buy cheap and affordable things.

Qiao's father arranged a small vacant seat for Qiao Jiayue, right next to Li Hongge.

Li Hongge's main task is to sell eggs and chickens, and the business is very good, and there are many people coming and going.

Shan Qiao Jiayue's seasoning is not cared for.

She looked left and right, gritted her teeth, and decided to greet the guests herself.

When someone passed by, she smiled and said: "Grandparents, uncles, aunts and sisters, look at the seasoning, whether it is pickled fish, boiled soup, braised meat is very suitable, the taste is mellow and delicious, people want to eat it." ”

For the first time, Qiao Jiayue knew that it was so difficult to do business.

Everyone's idea is also very simple, with this money, why not buy eggs?

When she was extremely depressed, a middle-aged woman pushing a bicycle stopped, "Spice seller?"

"Yes, yes, auntie, take a look, there are all cooking, soup, and braised meat, and you are satisfied. ”

"What's the spice for cooking?"

Qiao Jiayue's eyes fell on this woman's feet, wearing small leather shoes, a rich man.

With a bright smile, she quickly flipped out the seasoning packet, carefully opened it and handed it over, "Powdery, you see, after adding this seasoning, the taste of stir-fried vegetables and stewed vegetables will be more delicious." ”

The woman sniffed it, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, it smelled so fresh, it seemed that she could still smell a little meat, interesting.

"Then bring me a pack of everything. ”

Qiao Jiayue quickly flipped out three packets of them, "A total of five cents." This pack of circles is stir-fried, and you can use it for about three months if you add a little bit each time. ”

"This bag of triangles is mainly for boiling soup, and each time you add a little bit, the soup will be clearer and more delicious. The last package is a marinated packet, and a pot of marinated soup can be marinated ten times, but if you want to continue to use it after ten times, you have to add a new package. ”

The woman seemed a little surprised by the price, but she didn't say anything, put the paper bag in the bag and left.

This little girl is so interesting!

The women soon reached the exit of the bazaar and joined the others, who had bought a lot of things, such as the back seat of the bicycle and the handlebars, which were tied or hung on.

"Xiuyu, have you encountered anything good? Seeing you smile so happily?" asked one of the companions.

"I met an interesting little girl. Lin Xiuyu said with a smile, and did not mention the matter of the seasoning package.

"This time I was lucky, I came across the commune market on vacation, and the New Year's goods were much richer. Another woman said with a smile that when there was no market two years ago, she went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to grab it during the Chinese New Year, and she couldn't buy anything at all.
