Zhang Mei is not surnamed Zhang, but after marrying to Zhangjia Village, she followed the man's surname and married to Zhangjia Village for more than ten years.

If there is no one to appear, the life of this family is very miserable, after Zijian appears, uh! I haven't helped their family directly, but there is a good saying, standing at the outlet, a pig can go to the sky.

Zijian has to use a lot of oil, which drives a relatively large industrial chain for a day, picking, peeling, stir-frying, crushing, squeezing oil, so much work, as long as the able-bodied people, regardless of men, women and children, can find a suitable job in it and get the corresponding salary.

At the beginning, Zhang Mei received the job of picking tea seeds and fruits, and asked the three children to help peel the shell, and at the end of the day, she earned 500 yuan, the most important thing is that it solved the problem of eating for the family, and during the period of helping to do things, you can let go of eating, that day, the family ate meat, which has not been done for a long time.

The matter of picking tea seed fruit, because of the addition of outsiders, the money earned is not as much as the first few days, but such a family has earned three taels of silver and three hundred and twelve copper coins because of the tea seed fruit. A copper coin is precious to her, not to mention that she has earned so much silver, and after waiting for the three children to go to see the kind of electric light that will light at night, Zhang Mei secretly wiped her tears.

A woman with three children, all these years of suffering, who knows, finally waited for the day of transfer, except for this way of expression, she has no other way, of course, although crying, but this is from the bottom of my heart, why, simple, make money.

If you earn money, you can go to the chief, buy affordable food, and you can feed your family, and the key is to see the future, a better future.

As long as you are not lazy and work diligently, you can have a good life, in this world, if the poor are lazy, they will starve to death.

Because she often eats fish these days, Zhang Mei found a strange thing, that is, there is no fish head in the fish, a fish can not only be eaten, the fish head is also good, for the poor, to have something to eat, more important than anything else, now follow the chief to do things, there is nothing to eat.

Zhang Mei curiously went to find Zhang Laosi, and said Zhang Laosi, Zhang Mei envied him in her heart, Zhang Laosi's family who lived not far away, everyone's life was tight before, no one should bury anyone, since Zhang Laosi followed the chief master to do things, the gap between the two families immediately opened.

Didn't you see Zhang Laosi's family, all of them changed into new clothes, tidying up every day like a master, everyone is a hard-working person, seeing Zhang Laosi getting rich day by day, it is a lie to say that he is not envious, envy is envy, and he wants to find him if he has questions.

Wearing the new clothes bought from the new shop opened by the chief, this is a dress made of linen, the price is not very expensive, the price is fifty yuan a set, in addition to himself, he also bought new clothes for his three children, and now when he goes out, he is embarrassed to wear the tattered linen clothes he used to have.

And it's not bad for this money, no one, if anyone wears tatters, and is looked at with contempt in Zhangjia Village, they are not willing to deal with that kind of person, even if they are dressed in tatters, but people must wash their hands and feet, and their faces are clean, I don't know when this kind of atmosphere was formed, but when everyone does this, if that person is too filthy, it is an anomaly.

Zhang Mei cut her youngest son's hair, why, everyone is still very taboo about cutting hair, but Zhang Mei heard Zhang Youde say that soon the chief will let all the children go to school, and the boy will cut his hair, otherwise he will not be able to become a reader, thinking that he can also train a scholar to come out, he is worthy of his dead husband, as for cutting his hair, just cut it off, anyway, I see that many volunteers are like this, everyone has cut their hair, there are so many examples in front, it doesn't matter.

And recently, more and more young men who have not become volunteers have begun to cut their hair, which is actually a way to imitate the strong, so don't be surprised to see anyone cut their hair now.

Zhang Laosi was about to go out, his workers had already set off in advance, he recruited fifty people from outside, to help him do things, in Zhangjia Village is also a figure, in addition to the volunteers, he is the fastest developing, at the end of the day, deducting labor, and the latest taxes to be paid, earned five or six taels of silver.

If you let go of your hands and feet to fish, Zhang Laosi can catch 200,000 catties of fish in a day, but now you can't let go to catch fish, why? Because the problem of oil has not been completely solved, if the tea seed oil is used up before, Zhang Laosi will have to stop fishing again, otherwise it will not be able to preserve.

Because of the problem of oil, Zhang Laosi heard that the chief master came up with a new method to make a kind of brine, this brine can not preserve the fish for a long time, it may be half a year, after the fish is fried, put it into a crockpot, and then pour it full of tea seed oil, this method is fine for a year, but it consumes a lot of oil, with the reserve of the volunteers, it will not take many months.

It can only be replaced by a kind of brine, the largest ingredient is salt, after putting the fish in, add the brine, and cover the layer of five centimeters of grease to isolate the air, this method greatly saves fat.

Zhang Mei: "Fourth brother, do you want to go out!" ”

Zhang Laosi: "Alas! It's a big girl! ”

Zhang Laosi is a lot older than Zhang Mei, so it's not surprising to call him the fourth brother.

Zhang Mei: "Fourth brother, didn't I have something to do with you!" ”

Zhang Laosi stopped, "Eh, you say!" ”

Zhang Mei's man is gone, usually if there is anything in her family, Zhang Laosi will help, because everyone is a poor family, needless to say that they are sent food, when their own family is not full, there is extra food for her, at most she catches wild meat, give them a little.

So the relationship between the two families is very good, and last time they pulled a cart of grain back, they gave Zhang Mei dozens of catties of grain.

Zhang Mei: "The kid wants to eat some fish heads, how come the fish you caught don't have fish heads?" ”

Zhang Laosi disappreciatively said, "What kind of fish head to eat, that thing has too many bones, the chief doesn't want it, when he cleans up by the river, he throws it back into the river, the kid wants to eat meat, come to my house, you let him come over and get it later, is it worth anything." ”

Zhang Laosi may not be helpful in other things, but eating fish is nothing, he catches more than 100,000 catties of fish a day, and it is really nothing to give Zhang Mei a few fish, and the wages of the workers who help him do things are not as good as the head of the gang, but there is also an advantage, that is, if you want fish, you can take it casually, and you will not have as many fish as you want to go down in a net.

It's funny to say, his little daughter used to be a picky eater, but now when she sees fish, she would rather eat rice than fish, why, it's very simple, a few days ago, I came back with fish every day, and it was okay to start eating for a few days, but I was tired of eating fish every day!

Zhang Mei heard such a good fish head, and actually lost it, I really don't know what to say, now it is much easier to eat meat than before, but it has not reached the point of throwing it away like this, but Zhang Laosi did it, and I wanted to scold him for wasting.

Zhang Laosi: "Don't look at me like that, I don't want to be such a loser, but the chief said no, what can I do, so many fish heads, what do I do with them, I can't take them home!" ”

As many as 30,000 catties of fish heads are thrown away every day, if they were all transported to the house, Zhang Laosi's grass hut would have been piled up, and the fish heads would not be cleaned up at that time, and if they rotted, it would be a big joke.

Zhang Mei is a quick-witted person, after a man has no future, he often weaves straw mats for a little change, and his mind is a little more than that of ordinary women, after all, there is no man, and he can only make his own decisions.

Zhang Mei: "Fourth brother, see if you can sell me those fish heads!" ”

Zhang Laosi said generously, "You don't need money, if you want it, you can come and get it, and you can have as much as you want." ”

Zhang Mei: "No, no, I will ask for a lot of fish heads every day in the future, and it will not be good to take them for nothing." ”

"What do you want so many fish heads for, you can't eat so much!"

Zhang Laosi helped him a lot, but Zhang Mei didn't hide it from him and said what she thought.

It turned out that Zhang Mei heard that the fish head was lost, so she thought about whether she could pull the fish head back and start a small business by herself, she had three children, and she was not afraid of others laughing at her.

Zhang Mei's idea is that after the fish head is done, sell it to those who do things, and the price does not have to be very high, just sell a few fish heads for a penny, anyway, the fish head is cheap! As for Zhang Laosi said that he could get it for free, this is to owe a lot of favors, there is no problem several times at a time, but if there are too many times, it will be difficult for everyone to meet in the future.

Zhang Laosi listened to Zhang Mei's idea, and already agreed in his heart, "Good idea, since this is the case, in the future, you will collect the fish heads, and give ten fish heads for a penny, how much you want." You don't have to do a lot in front of you, just try to see if you can make money, if not, forget it, and help the chief to do things for a lot of money. ”

Zhang Mei was grateful to Zhang Laosi for his reminder, and then went to buy a wheelbarrow and followed Zhang Laosi to the river to buy fish heads.

No one expected that Zhang Mei would make the fish head business bigger and bigger, and in the future, it would become a well-known signboard.
