When Qiao's father came back with Cai Ming and Xu Yangyang, Qiao Jiayue had already boiled hot water.

When she saw Cai Ming, she smiled at him, and in the next second, a few toffees were stuffed in her hands.

Qiao Jiayue was stunned for a moment and thanked Cai Ming, and at this time, Qiao's father had already soaked two bowls of thick brown sugar water and sent them to the guests.

This is his own home, Father Qiao relaxed a lot, he looked at Cai Ming suspiciously, "I don't understand your plans." ”

Cai Ming wants to repay the favor, and he has to walk around like a relative of his family, no matter how this is calculated, their family will receive more benefits.

In the future, the things that Qiao Jiayue took out from the system can also be excused and said that Cai Ming sent them from the city.

Cai Ming smiled, "You're older than me, I'll call you Brother Qiao." ”

"Your Alpine Brigade is remote and has been affected less, and I will have little place to ask for your help in the future. ”

Father Qiao frowned slightly, "I'm afraid we can't help much, right?" He heard what Cai Ming meant, and it was estimated that he was going to pour some fine grain from the countryside.

But the famine hasn't passed yet, and the canteen hasn't been disbanded, so how can Cai Ming be sure that he can help?

Unless...... Qiao's father stared at him, and thought of a possibility, Cai Ming's family is in politics and sensitive to politics, and he has already predicted the future form.

Cai Ming looked at Qiao's father and smiled, "How could it not be?" "Not much else.

Father Qiao smiled, "This batch of shiitake mushrooms is in good condition, do you want to go to the mushroom shed to have a look?"

As soon as Qiao's father and the others left, Qiao Jiayue saw Qiao Qiuyue and a few people probing their brains at the door, and further away, there were some boys.

She looked at the two bowls of brown sugar water, there was still half of it left, Cai Ming and Xu Sunshine left it on purpose.

They seemed to know what the gathered children were expecting.

"Yue'er, what are you doing in a daze?" Qiao Hongzhi ran in, he lowered his voice, "You give the eldest brother a little brown sugar to soak in water, and the eldest brother will take you to play next time." ”

As he spoke, his eyes swept to the thick brown sugar water in the two bowls, "There are so many left?" There was no lack of surprise in his tone, did the guests look down on the brown sugar water?

"Yue'er, you don't have to take it, I'll just take a bowl of water, and the rest of the bowl will be divided into those girls outside the door. ”

Qiao Hongzhi said, filled the bowl of water, and went out through the back door.

Qiao Jiayue shook her head, took the bowl with hot water left in her hand to the door, and said to Qiao Qiuyue and the others, "Hurry up and drink." ”

A bowl rotates in the hands of several people, one tablespoon per person, at this time, it is good to have food and drink, where can you take care of eating other people's saliva, hygienic and unhygienic?

Qiao Hongzhi brought a bowl of brown sugar water over there, and Lan Xiangbin also brought a bowl, but he thought about it more and took a spoon as well.

If everyone takes a sip, some people take big gulps and some people take small sips, won't they be confused and contradict each other in the end?

Rather than a big fight over this, it's better to use a spoon and drink as much as everybody, which is absolutely fair.

Qiao Hongzhi patted Lan Xiangbin's shoulder, "Xiaobin, you are still smart." ”

Lan Xiangbin smiled, watched them finish drinking, and put away the spoon and bowl, "Brother Xiaozhi, go back quickly, I will go back too." ”

In addition to brown sugar, fabrics, and other in-demand items in the package that Grandpa Lan received, such as flour and canned food, Lan Xiangbin's mouth was tight and he didn't say anything.

Don't look at the Alpine Brigade looks very good, but there are not no petty thieves, and when the supplies are in short supply, showing off is tantamount to recruiting thieves.

Qiao Hongzhi nodded, he didn't drink a sip of these brown sugar water, it was really Qiao's mother who taught them to pay attention to hygiene since she was a child, and he really couldn't share a spoon with outsiders.

"Grandpa. Lan Xiangbin washed the empty bowl and spoon and put them back in the kitchen, and walked to the old man's side.

Grandpa Lan was sewing a small gown with a needle and thread, "This fabric is not big, I can only make you a small gown to wear in it, and I will wear it as a new dress." ”

"Grandpa, it doesn't matter if I don't have new clothes, you can make one for yourself. Lan Xiangbin shook his head, he moved a stool and sat next to the old man, "This year's subsidy seems to be much less than last year." ”

Grandpa Lan took the needle and thread for a moment, remembering the content of the letter, this child always thought that the package he received was a subsidy.

But in fact, they are not officially retired soldiers, and there is no subsidy at all, and he can't tell Lan Xiangbin about this.

There are also other veterans of the Anti-Japanese War in the brigade, but they are all locals, not official soldiers, I don't know Grandpa Lan's previous situation, there is no way to compare, so I think that he has a high position to get a subsidy.

"In the past two years, there has been famine everywhere, and it is better to have less than to break it. Grandpa Lan said lightly, and continued to seal the gown in his hand, but the stitches were not so even.

Living in the Alpine Brigade, Grandpa Lan is actually very low-key, doing what he can do by himself, and he usually actively participates in production and labor.

Fortunately, the fourth team changed the production captain, otherwise their grandparents would have a really hard time.

Qiao Hongyuan seemed to expect Cai Ming and them to come back, and waited at the door of the mushroom shed with a few people, and without saying much, he led people in to visit.

The shiitake mushrooms that have just been picked have been harvested, and now the rest of the mushroom bag is just emerging small dices, and there are still long ones.

Cai Ming and Xu Sunshine turned around, and they were amazed in their hearts, it turned out that shiitake mushrooms were grown like this!

"Brother Qiao, don't hide it, I work at the train station, and I came on vacation recently, and I will go out of the province with the car tomorrow. ”

"My aunt is in Haishi, and she likes these dry goods the most, so I bought two catties to give it to her. ”

Cai Ming didn't plan to hide his work, since he planned to cooperate with Qiao's father, there was no need to hide it.

He was supposed to be in the office, and for some reason, he had to start running around with the car.

When Qiao's father heard that Cai Ming was working at the train station, his eyes couldn't help flashing, and now it seems that they want to hug Cai Ming's thigh.

"We have already picked one of the dried shiitake mushrooms, you can screen them again, if you don't dislike those bits and pieces, they will be sold at a low price. ”

How low this price can be, it is naturally operable.

Cai Ming and Xu Sunshine were very happy, and they also wanted to buy some New Year's goods for their families.

The first batch of dried shiitake mushrooms brought back by Xu Sunshine was sent to Beijing and Haishi through the supply and marketing cooperative system, except for a small part of the municipal party committee compound for internal digestion.

Now, at the end of the year, the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores in those big cities have been urged to call several times, and the prices have increased a lot.

There are many kinds of mushrooms in the north forest, but in the past two years of famine, everything that can be eaten has been eaten, and where can I dry what can be dried, and the big cities are not scarce.

Dried shiitake mushrooms were kept in plastic bags, not afraid of moisture and smell, Xu Sunshine and Cai Ming teamed up to pick out four catties alone, and re-wrapped the rest.

As for those dried shiitake mushrooms that are not in good condition, Xu Sunshine also wants them all for two yuan a catty.

This goods are divided into three, six, nine and so on, in order to sell at a high price, as long as it is not the specified goods, this is very easy to operate.
