After lunch, taking advantage of the time to rest, Li Shankui asked while smoking a dry tobacco pouch: "Xiaoyi, my father asked you, what do you plan to do in the future?" ”

"What to do?"

"You're about to get married, you can't be idle at home all the time, you have to find something to do!"

Without waiting for Li Yi to speak, Li Na on the side said with disgust: "He has fine skin and tender skin/meat, he can't bend down when he goes to the field to do farm work, and there is no way to go to the factory!" ”

Tang Xue subconsciously looked at Li Yi and found that he was indeed as Li Na said, with delicate and fair skin, white in powder, and broad eyebrows on his face, which was quite good-looking.

If it weren't for the tattered clothes on his body, he wouldn't lose to the young guys in the city at all.

But the more this is the case, the more sad Tang Xue feels in her heart!

What is the use of being good-looking, and you can't eat it as a meal!

This is a rural area, which family's children are not strong laborers in the family, who is not soft in farm work, whose skin is not like a baked potato in the wind and sun, and whose hands are not covered with calluses?

Except for Li Yi, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the entire Nianzishan Brigade to find such delicate skin.

Thinking that she would live with such a person who couldn't hold her shoulder and couldn't pick it up for the rest of her life in the future, Tang Xue couldn't help but want to shed tears!

If it weren't for some special reason she didn't want to go back to the city, she really wanted to leave...

"Dad, what do you think I will do when I go to the county seat to sell cold skin?" Li Yi suddenly spoke.

As soon as the words fell, I heard Li Shankui's face change, and his voice increased sharply: "You are crazy, this is speculation, if you are caught, you will go to prison!" ”

Hearing the word imprisonment, Zhang Yuehong was also anxious, and hurriedly said: "Son, you can't make a mistake, let's just farm at home, with me and your father to help you, you and Xiaoxue will never go hungry!" ”

Li Yi immediately said: "It's just a small stall to sell some cold skin, what kind of speculation is it?" ”

Then Li Yi said again: "Dad, I read the newspaper a few days ago, because a large number of educated youths have returned to the city to be unemployed, in order to solve the livelihood of these people, the state has allowed these educated youths to go to the streets to "practice stalls". ”

Moreover, as mentioned above, cases of reversal are mainly due to the examination and handling of cases by the administrative departments for industry and commerce, and only cases where the circumstances are serious and major speculative cases need to be investigated will be handed over to the public security organs for handling. Even if we sell cold skin and are identified as speculation, we will definitely be confiscated by the administrative department for industry and commerce and will never go to jail! ”

Li Shankui hesitated for a moment, but still said firmly: "That's not good, look at who in the city dares to do this, once you are caught, it is typical!" ”

"Dad, just like my third sister said, I can't stand the hardships of farm work, no one wants to enter the factory, can you support me for a while, can you support me for a lifetime?"

Then Li Yi said again: "Liangpi is definitely a new thing in our Qingshan County, it is delicious and not expensive, and the cost is not high, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the city really doesn't allow stalls, there is not much loss, so I want to try it!" ”

Hearing Li Yi's words, Li Shankui's expression relaxed, and he was silent for a long time and finally spoke: "Is it really speculation?" ”

"Not really!" Li Yi said affirmatively.

"That's... Then you can try it, if people really won't let you sell it, you don't sell it! Li Shankui said.

"Okay, I'll listen to you!"

At this time, Li Na on the side frowned and said, "You kid really plan to sell this thing, can you make money here?" ”

"I don't know if I can make money, but I won't lose money!"

Although he said this, Li Yi knew very well in his heart that at this time, he could make money by setting up a stall and lying down.

The reason is also very simple, on the one hand, because of policy reasons, no one dares to blatantly set up a stall, so there are no competitors.

On the other hand, with the development of the economy, the income of the common people has increased significantly.

And with money, consumption will naturally come up, which means that there is a market.

There is a market and no competitors, and if you can't make money, then it's really unreasonable.

However, Li Yi can't tell his family clearly, otherwise they will think he is bragging, so let's wait for the money to be made and speak with the facts!

"It's okay if you can't lose, do you need help?" Li Na asked again.

Although she didn't believe that this unsuccessful brother could really make money by selling cold skins, this was the first time Li Yi proposed to make a good living, and she still wanted to help him, in case it really happened!

Li Yi immediately shook his head and said, "No need, I can handle this!" ”

"That's fine!"

At this time, Tang Xue, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Uncle, aunt, wait a minute, I want to go back to Zhiqingdian!" ”

Li Shankui opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, it could only become a "hmm" word!

He was a little worried that the kid would be wronged when he went back, although it had just been half a day, the whole team was talking about it, and Li Shankui heard a lot of gossip when they came back from the field.

If it was possible, he really didn't want Tang Xue to return to Zhiqing, so he could live in his house.

But this is even worse, before getting married, I went to the kang with someone, and lived directly in the man's house, and it will be difficult to raise my head in the village in the future.

Li Yi obviously thought of this, so he didn't keep it, but said to the third sister Li Na: "Sister, you accompany Xiaoxue back in the afternoon, you don't have to work in the field these days, if you dare to chew the root of your tongue, don't be polite, just go back!" ”

Li Na was also a little worried about Tang Xue's state, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

When Tang Xue heard this, her heart was slightly touched.

Although this guy is a little muddy, he is not useless, at least he is responsible, he can cook, and he cares about her.

If there is a serious livelihood, this day is not improvised!

For a while, she couldn't help but be crazy!

.......

After eating, Li Shankui and his family only rested for less than half an hour, and then went to work under the scorching sun, but they left the mule cart because Li Yi wanted to use it.

At half past two in the afternoon, Li Yi drove the mule cart and sent Tang Xue and Li Na back to the educated youth point in the village committee compound.

Afterwards, he drove the mule cart to the back mountain.

Since you are going to set up a stall to sell cold skin, you have to prepare something.

Ingredients and the like are available at home, but what is lacking now is dishes and chopsticks.

In later generations, cold skins were sold in plastic bags, but now there is no place to make these things for him.

At first, Li Yi was going to use bowls, but looking at the big bowls at home that were full of gaps, Li Yi could only shake his head helplessly.

He had the heart to buy a few bowls, but now his pockets were cleaner than his face, and the price of the new bowls was not cheap, and Li Yi needed more, so this thought flashed through his mind.

After thinking about it, Li Yi finally thought of replacing the bowl with a bamboo tube!

Bamboo tubes are indeed a good container, and they are all over the place, and they can be used as bowls as long as they are polished well.

After two hours of tinkering in the bamboo forest, Li Yi returned home with half a cart of thick bamboo.

The next step is to make the bamboo tube, which is sawed into a 12-centimeter-high bamboo tube and then polished with a file until it is smooth and delicate inside and out.

This is not over, and then Li Yi found a carving knife and carved a simple pattern on the bamboo tube.

For a whole afternoon, Li Yi was making relevant preparations.

By the time the sun set, he had made 50 bamboo tubes and more than 60 pairs of bamboo chopsticks, in addition to filtering out more than a dozen catties of flour and fried half a pot of oil and spicy seeds.

After some preparations, Li Yi's business of setting up a stall to sell cool skins is all ready, and he only owes the east wind!
