Chapter 40: Uncle Zhou
She quickly explained: "I just thought it should be delicious, so I tried to make it." ”
Grandpa nodded: "Tongtong, I think the business may be more popular in the future when we change the stall into a restaurant." ”
Jian Tong agreed casually, but he didn't take it to heart at all.
The reason why they think her food is delicious is that in addition to her craftsmanship, she is willing to put oil.
Except for oil, she uses all the raw materials well, and she believes that her cooking skills can be made with her hands.
If they open a restaurant around here, they won't be able to recover the cost.
There are poor people in this neighborhood, who is willing to spend so much money to come out to eat?
But if she was asked to go to the city to cook for the rich, she knew that she would definitely not be able to be those chefs, and she would have to end up losing money at that time.
And she knows what she is good at, and she doesn't want to waste her time in the kitchen fumes every day.
The three of them had another pleasant meal, and they all ate a little bit.
At this time, it was still a little early before it was late, and Jian Tong suggested: "Let's go for a walk and see if there is any place to grow some vegetables nearby." ”
A few people wandered around here, and just happened to meet the uncle who came to bring them bowls.
The uncle was also embarrassed to see them, and he also had an intimacy that he had never realized himself.
"You said that a few of you, just those few fish, and gave me so much meat, my old man was so grateful that he didn't know what to say."
"Uncle, look at what you said, your fish was also caught by you after a hard day's work, you just sent it to us, you didn't feel pity, we should be grateful to you."
Jian Tong said as he went to support him, there were a few places on this road that were not easy to walk.
Chu Yanshen also saw it, and immediately came over to support him.
Uncle is even more embarrassed, he has a problem, that is, he has a good face, in fact, the moment he put down the fish basket, he was already remorseful to death.
But he was too embarrassed to get it, and he would have run out of food without these fish today.
In fact, he is really alone, if it is not really helpless, he does not want to go fishing, he now relies on a little harvest in the field every day, plus fishing nearby to feed his stomach, the rest of the time is hungry and full.
Today, he exchanged a basket of fish for a bowl full of meat and a bowl of rice, which scared him at that time.
After so many years, today he has eaten a full meal.
Therefore, looking at these people, he couldn't say how grateful he was, in the uncle's opinion, these people were really the best people.
Jian Tong saw that he was embarrassed, so he changed the topic and said, "Uncle, do you know if there is a place to farm near here?" We want to plant some land. ”
Uncle was a little embarrassed: "Everyone around here has no land, and everything that can be dug has been dug up." ”
Suddenly, as if he thought of something: "You go to see Xiaoshun's previous land, it may still be there, didn't you buy his house?" I'll show you. ”
The uncle took them to the vegetable field of the former Xiaoshun, and found that it was re-fenced, and a fence was made with burr trees, and there was a new owner at a glance.
Jian Tong knew that this should have been taken away, and just as he wanted to ask, he heard a man say, "Old man Zhou, what are you taking them to see?" ”
Only then did Jian Tong and the others know that the old man's surname was Zhou.
Jian Tong asked, "This big brother, wasn't this Xiaoshun's land before?" Xiaoshun is gone, why are there people planting in this land again? ”
The man said angrily: "What kind of Xiaoshun's land, this is originally ownerless land, and I fought with a few people for this land, what?" You're here to grab the land? ”
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared for a fight.
Chu Yanshen stood in front of the two of them, and he was also ready.
Jian Tong pulled him behind him and said to everyone: "We are either here to grab the land, or we are here to go around, we have a lot of land in our house, why do you want this piece of broken land?" ”
She was telling the truth, both Jianjia Village and Chujia Village had land, and she couldn't afford to fight with people for a piece of land.
But she also saw that there was basically no possibility of clearing the wasteland here, and they didn't have to think about it for a piece of land with a big ass.
However, Jian Tong was originally just walking casually, it doesn't matter if he doesn't, he will go back to the village and bring some food in the future.
A few people went to Jane's booth and sat down.
Old man Zhou looked at a few people with some interest: "You really know how to read fortune telling?" ”
"Yes, the craftsmanship passed down from our ancestors."
Jian Tong's words made Old Man Zhou interested.
"Can you do the math for me? See how long I can live? When will I find my son? ”
"Your son?"
Everyone was surprised, they all thought that Old Man Zhou had no children.
"I got lost in my early years, and then I can't find it again."
Hearing him say this, everyone couldn't help but sigh, and Grandpa Jian said: "Then you come tomorrow, I didn't bring any guy I wanted, and I can't see it today." ”
Old man Zhou nodded, and a few people went home after walking around again.
The factory building at night was even more desolate, and Jian Tong felt that there were still a few windows leaking, and it seemed that he had not checked carefully during the day.
The factory building was dark, Jian Tong found the switch of the electric light, and there were still a few light bulbs that were not broken.
Everyone divided the work, with Chu Yanshen and Grandpa Jian doing alcohol in the back, and Jian Tong sentry in the front.
Jian Tong slept in the outermost room wrapped in a quilt at night, while Grandpa and Chu Yanshen were busy all night.
However, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and finally made a lot of finished products.
After doing this, Jian Tong forced the two of them to sleep first, and the matter of alcohol will be talked about later, and there will be some follow-up work.
Now all she has to do is talk about business.
Chu Yanshen said that she wouldn't let her go by herself, and Jian Tong couldn't help him, so he had to wait for him to rest.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jian Tong went to the town to buy some glass bottles, disinfected them and poured them with home-made alcohol.
Old man Zhou came around and heard that a few people drank too much last night and were sleeping and left without asking.
Looking at the alcohol in the tank, judging from Jian Tong's experience, the quality of these alcohols is quite good, the key is that the quantity is still large, and it should be able to sell at a good price.
So another day passed like this, Chu Yanshen rode a bicycle and took Jian Tong to the county hospital.
This is the first time Jian Tong has not taken an ox cart, that thing is too bumpy, the bike is obviously a lot more comfortable, although it is still bumpy, but at least it can be accepted.
After arriving in the county, Jian Tong took the cigarettes she bought at the supply and marketing cooperatives last time to the doorman, she handed the uncle a cigarette, and asked with a smile: "Uncle, I am from a pharmaceutical factory, I want to come to you to buy and chat, you recommend a person." ”
After saying that, he secretly stuffed a whole pack of cigarettes under his hand, and the doorkeeper was frightened by this hand.
In recent years, it has been popular to send cigarettes one by one, he is a doorman, and there are not many cigarettes, but this person not only gives him cigarettes, but also gives him a whole pack.
