Regarding Li Xuemei's malicious provocation, Shui Yao didn't pay much attention to it, but smiled slightly. took out two packets of potato chips from the basket, handed them to the children, and then patiently explained: "Little brother, although my bag is four cents, but you can taste something before making a conclusion, although this thing is expensive, but it has its expensive reason." I'm sure you'll love it after you taste it! ”

After the children left, looking at Li Xuemei, who was jumping in front of him as if she had taken a stimulant, Shui Yao just slowly spit out a few words.

"Sister Li, let's do our own business, it's too immoral for you to influence me here! However, am I greedy or not, do you say it, maybe the children just like what I make and buy my account? ”

"Real gold is not afraid of fire. Who's better will be known next week. Since the boy had bought both, they must have had a bottom in their hearts after tasting them. However, I hope that during this time, we will each do our own business, and no one will affect anyone, will it be successful? ”

Li Xuemei listened for a long time and found that Shui Yao did not ask her to modify the price of potato chips, so she immediately agreed, and at the same time, she immediately spoke.

"Of course! However, since we have said it, the price of your thing cannot be changed. ”

After Li Xuemei finished speaking, she couldn't help but feel a little weak in her heart: she knew very well that a large part of the reason why her business had been so good in the past two days was that her potato chips were cheaper than Shui Yao's, which was a great advantage for herself.

She believes that with this condition, by the end of next week, she will be the winner in the end. But if Shui Yao is like her, and lowers the price of things, then the final result is not easy to say.

For the little Jiujiu in Li Xuemei's heart, Shui Yao felt the door clearly. The taste of things can't compare to others, so they increase sales by deliberately lowering prices and malicious competition. However, Shui Yao does not intend to expose this, because Li Xuemei will fail sooner or later, after all, the tongue of diners is not so easy to fool. The outcome will be the real thing next week.

At present, for Shui Yao, the most important thing is the issue of entering the city the next day. This time, she went to the county seat, in addition to giving her father Shui Daquan food, she also had to take it to the door of the movie theater to have a look, and try to sell some potato chips. In addition, there is not much lard at home. However, due to the extreme scarcity of material materials in this era, pork is naturally a rare item, and it may not be possible to buy it in the past, so Shui Yao made up his mind to get up early and try his luck in the city.

Early the next morning, before dawn, when the rooster crowed, Shui Yao got up from the bed, and after preparing thirty packets of potato chips, he fried a tomato and egg, made a cold cucumber, patted two corn tortillas, put the things together in the back basket, and set off.

With the experience of the last time, Shui Yao arrived at the entrance of the village this time, quietly along the way, except for the car people who were walking with him, he didn't even see the shadow of the people next to him, and the "squeak" sound made by the wheel of the car was full of a terrible smell. Fortunately, they took advantage of the donkey cart, and there were a few people rushing to the morning market on the cart, and there were many people, and Shui Yao's heart gradually calmed down.

After arriving at the county seat, Shui Qiang went to the butcher shop as soon as possible. In these years, if you can eat pork, the conditions at home must not be much worse. Not only is the price of pork high, but you also need to take a lot of meat tickets to exchange.

Although there are not many wealthy families at present, no one wants to have little soup and water all day long, there is no oil star, not to mention that people do a lot of work every day, and everyone wants to eat a few meals of meat to satisfy their hunger all year round. But now the supply of meat itself is pitiful, it can be said that "a shop has meat and a hundred schools of thought", therefore, the status of the pig killer at this time is much higher than in the future, and the eyes of each child are above the top, even if they blow their beards and stare at the guests, in order to eat meat, many people are willing to swallow this sulk.

When Shui Yao rushed to the pork shop panting, there were already a lot of people lined up in front of the door. Many of them are elderly, but Shui Yao didn't find it strange when he saw this. There is not much difference between today's elderly and decades later, she remembers that in her previous life, she often saw the elderly queuing at the entrance of the pharmacy at four o'clock in the morning, because of the marketing method of "buy medicine and send eggs", the elderly are afraid that they will not be able to receive eggs if they go late, so they also go to line up early. In addition, when people are old, they really don't need to work anymore, so getting up early to queue up has become the norm in the lives of the elderly.

Shui Yao waited for a long time before the butcher shop owner slowly took out a fan of pork. Seeing the pork, many people were excited and happy.

"Boss, bring me two taels"

"I'm going to cut the hind leg meat!"

Lazily glancing at the chaotic crowd, the boss threw the meat cleaver on the board, and his words were full of impatience: "Line up for me, if you want to buy meat, be quick!"

As soon as the boss's voice fell, the people in line didn't dare to make any more noise, and they all got up peacefully. Shui Yao, who had been lined up for a long time, saw such a big fan of pork, and thought that there might be a lot of pork when it was his turn, and maybe he could cut a piece of pork belly and take it back to satisfy his hunger. Unexpectedly, after the people in front of her finished buying, the boss was ready to close the stall and leave.

"Little girl, the meat has been sold, you should come over early next time, maybe it will be available in half a month."

Shui Yao deliberately got up early in the morning in order to buy meat, and then waited here for a long time, where would he be willing to leave now?

"Boss, is there really nothing left?"

After hearing this, the boss waved his hand helplessly and opened the copper with pork next to him: "What are you lying to?" You see, there's only some lard left that no one wants.

Shui Yao took a look and found that in addition to the white flowers' plate oil, there were also a few ribs lying quietly inside. Just as he was about to ask, the boss immediately guessed Shui Yao's thoughts: "Don't fight these ribs, this is going to be sent to the workers' canteen of the printing factory in front, and the unit ordered the goods with me three days ago."

After hearing this, Shui Yao twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly, although he was disappointed, but fortunately, he had just eaten fish not long ago, and this time he was going to buy lard and go back to refining, so he didn't return empty-handed.

"Boss, sell me this lard, go back and stir-fry and eat it."

The meat seller is a cheerful person, and when he heard Shui Yao say this, the movements in his hands were not ambiguous at all: "That's it, girl, the rest is not good, you give me five cents, plus half a catty of meat tickets, I will treat these plate oils as a favor,

It's all for you!"

After Shui Yao simply paid the money, he packed the lard in a cloth bag and threw it into the back basket.

"Oh, oh mom, it's really not light, it's about four or five pounds!".

Shui Yao was carrying things, and after a while, he was tired and sweating. Seeing that it was inconvenient to go to the cinema like this, the smell of lard was really unpleasant; Second, this is back in the cinema, in case someone checks it, carrying such a heavy thing, it is not easy to run. So, Shui Yao took out the lunch box and carried it in his hand, planning to send this food to Shui Daquan while the things were still a little warm.

Ever since he left home, Shui Daquan has been living in the mine's dormitory. When Shui Yao arrived at the ground, he didn't see Shui Daquan, but saw another man, and as soon as the man saw Shui Yao, he immediately smiled heartily: "You are the girl of the Daquan family, right?" I guess I haven't seen you in years. When I saw you last time, you were still small, even taller than mine

Didn't arrive. I stepped forward to tease you, and you still said that I was a bad person, and I was scared and cried! ＂＂

Maybe it's because it's been a long time, and the original owner's impression of this man is very vague, but he vaguely remembers that this man's surname is Chen. So he replied with a smile: "Uncle Chen, look at what you said, I was ignorant when I was a child, don't take it to heart!" I came here today to bring my dad some food for a change of taste, and by the way, I also wanted to come and see him. ”

After a few polite words with Uncle Chen, Shui Yao entered the house. After putting down the basket and setting the meal, Shui Yao made a basin of water, carefully washed the sweat stains on his face, and then quietly waited for Shui Daquan to come back.

Because it was not yet dawn in the morning, he set off, and after waiting in line for a long time, at this time, Shui Yao only felt extremely tired, sat on the chair, and dozed off after a while.

"Squeak!"

"Yaoyao, you're here?"

Shui Daquan's voice pulled Shui Yao out of his sleepiness at once.

"Well, Dad, I'll come to see you, make some food, and give you a change of taste."

After Shui Yao finished speaking, he stepped forward to hang up the work clothes that Shui Daquan had just changed, and then made a basin of washing water for Shui Daquan.

Shui Daquan saw two plates of vegetarian dishes, and several corn tortillas were neatly stacked on the table, and his heart was warm.

"Okay, let's eat together! Don't you know that the vegetables on this mine are made...... Tsk, how can you compare with my daughter? The clear soup is watery, and it doesn't taste at all. Looks like I'm blessed today! ”​

After hearing this, Shui Yao nodded, after all, he was in a hurry to go out in the morning and didn't eat breakfast, and by now, his stomach was already hungry and couldn't stand it. However, when I thought of waiting in line for a long time and not buying any good pork, I couldn't help but feel very sorry.

"Dad, this time I came out, I was going to buy some ribs and go home to make you some good tooth sacrifices, but when I finally bought it, I only had some plate oil left, so I could only use it to refine and stir-fry."

At this time, Shui Daquan had already washed his face, and when he heard Shui Yao say about buying meat, he didn't even care about the towel, and immediately took out a few meat tickets in a hurry: "Girl, tell Dad if you want to eat meat!" Dad, here's a meat ticket! ”

After speaking, he stuffed the ticket into Shui Yao's hand: "Girl, the meat is not easy to get now, and whether you can buy it depends on luck." But if you really want to eat, Dad wants to think about the way, how can I get you a few taels! ”

As soon as Shui Yao heard it, he immediately sensitively captured the word "doorway": Could it be ...... Is this the way to go to the black market?

Thinking of the last time she went to the black market, the touching price of the things over there, Shui Yao felt that her flesh hurt: it was several times higher than the normal price, and it was okay for her to make money, but if she ......bought it in the past, it was okay

Seeing that Shui Yao reluctantly shook his head, Shui Daquan's heart suddenly wrinkled into orange peel, thinking that his daughter was unhappy because he couldn't eat meat.

So, before Shui Yao could speak, he took out all the change on his body and comforted: "Girl, it's okay, it doesn't matter if Dad eats or not, one more meal is not too much, and one less meal is not a lot." It doesn't matter if you can't buy meat, Dad will give you money, and you can take it to the movies! ”

Shui Yao saw that there were a few more yuan in his hand, and he twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly: "Dad, have you forgotten?" You just gave me a lot of money and tickets a few days ago, what if you don't keep a penny for yourself, what will you do when you need it? ”

"If you're given it, you'll take it! Dad hasn't given you anything all these years, and he is busy with the mine every day and rarely has time to care about you, but now he finally has a chance to make up for it, and you let Dad behave well! ”

Although Shui Daquan had already said this, Shui Yao still shook his head firmly, saying that he would not accept it no matter what. In fact, Shui Yao knows very well in his heart that his father has been secretly helping her grandmother behind her back all these years, even because of the death of the original owner's mother, Shui Yao has always resisted the old woman in her heart, and felt that her mother's death was directly caused by her. Xu is mother's funeral was too miserable, which caused a lot of damage to Shui Yao's young heart.

She really couldn't figure out why when her mother was still pregnant with her younger brother, even if it was a difficult birth, she could invite the doctor as long as she immediately went to the production team to issue a certificate. But this old woman not only did not allow it, but she didn't even invite a barefoot doctor, and watched the original owner's mother have a difficult birth, and she died of pain.

Although Shui Yao felt that she had no relationship with the original owner except for sharing a body, in the eyes of an outsider, what the old woman did was simply unworthy of being a person, even if the other party had a deep hatred with her, she couldn't see death without saving her at a critical moment.

Her father Shui Daquan knows everything, but this person is a tendon, and he is a thousand and ten thousand filial piety to his biological mother. Therefore, even if Shui Yao is unwilling, he doesn't recognize that grandmother, but the second uncle's family is all lazy and virtuous, and it is a problem to support himself, let alone bring the old woman as a drag oil bottle. Therefore, even if Shui Daquan has a lot of money every month in the mine, a large part of it is indeed secretly given to his mother.

Before, although Shui Yao had always turned a blind eye to this matter, seeing that his father was tired and out of breath every day, and the remaining little money had to be stuffed to himself, Shui Yao somehow felt a sour feeling in his heart.
