Chapter 47: The Best Sister-in-law (47)
"Yin Yin, what are you going to do with these cloths? Your Aunt Fen and grandmother just came over, and when she saw it, she wanted to pull a few feet, do you sell it? ”
There was a high voice from Xu's mother in the hall.
"Sell!" Xu Yin opened the curtain and walked out of the room, "The defective cloth that Tongcheng Cloth Factory has specially treated, but I have looked at it carefully, and the flaws are not very obvious." ”
"If you don't say it, I haven't seen it as a flawed cloth."
Xu Mu lowered her head and took a closer look, only to see that the color was not evenly dyed, or there were a few missed needles, and such flaws were not much different from conventional cloth.
"Your Aunt Fen wants to make two monk clothes for her little great-grandson who is full moon, and she also wants to make a skirt for her youngest granddaughter.
"Aunt Fen wants it, just two pieces."
"So cheap?" Mother Xu was taken aback, "This is Huayang cloth, the cheapest in the cloth shop has to cost three or four yuan, and you can't see it at all when you wear such a flaw." Are you sure you won't lose money selling a piece of two? ”
Xu Yin told her that this was 20 yuan a horse, and each horse was 30 meters.
After such a calculation, Xu's mother regretted that she only gave her daughter fifty yuan at that time.
If you give more, won't you be able to come back with a few more pieces of cloth?
Xu Yin looked at her mother's expression and couldn't help laughing: "Mom, the defective cloth is not so easy to grab, just these few horses, my sister-in-law and I have made several trips to the wholesale market." ”
Mother Xu was no longer annoyed, looked down at the cloth, and decisively picked two good-looking ones and carried them into her room:
"These two horses are kept for you as a dowry, it's a pity to sell such a cheap and good-looking cloth to others!"
Xu Yin: "......"
In the end, she finally persuaded her mother to take out the defective cloth, which should be sold, and should be made into clothes.
What are you keeping for? Even if she marries in the future, will she still lack a few flawed cloths as a dowry? Really!
When Xu Yin's family's rice was put into the barn, the fields were deeply ploughed, and the cloth, wool and cashmere threads wholesale from Tongcheng were almost sold by her.
For the rest, she plans to knit a sweater for her parents before school starts.
Those who bought the defective cloth didn't take it home, and directly asked Xu Yin to make clothes.
This one in and one out, you can earn money from young and old.
Xu Yin made a rough calculation, and by the beginning of school in September, the living expenses for the first school year were stable.
After fertilizing the fields, the family began to plant seedlings, and her task was to go to the farm to get the predetermined fish fry.
Today, she is a regular visitor to the farm.
Several of the doormen knew her:
knew that she was once a student of No. 6 Middle School and was escorted to BGI;
knew that the rice fish that her family had raised for three months was fatter and more tender than the one that had been raised on the farm for one year;
knew that the watermelons grown by her family were rushed to ask for by the Melon Seed Optimization Research Institute, and that was the treatment that the watermelons on the farm could not get;
also knows that she is a tractor plowing expert, which is faster and better than Master Yu and other masters......
Several honors are draped, and it is difficult for people to know her or not.
Xu Yin looked at the road calmly, calmly parked the little electric donkey, carried a sauce duck, and went straight to the field manager's office.
"Comrade Xiao Xu is here?"
When the field manager saw her, he smiled and pointed to the sofa chair next to her, motioning for her to sit.
"Come on, why do you still carry things?"
"My brother sent it from Tongcheng, it is a specialty over there, after steaming, cut into pieces and eat, it will go down to the meal, you can take it back and taste it."
The field manager politely accepted it.
"You came just in time, the balance of your batch of watermelons, the research institute called in the morning, and I also said that Lao Yu would take the time to go to Xujia Village and send it to your family. Since you are here, don't bother Lao Yu, this is the payment slip, just go to the finance to receive it in a while. ”
Xu Yin took the receipt and glanced at it, yo, the balance is five hundred yuan. In other words, her family's two acres of watermelons were sold for 1,000 yuan.
What is this concept?
Her family's two acres of watermelon harvest is 15,000 catties, which is calculated as six cents and six cents per catty, and this year's unified purchase price of watermelons is two cents and a half cents, that is, her watermelons are more than twice as expensive as the market price.
"Isn't this going to be a little too high?"
Rao is confident in her own watermelon, but she is also a little unable to handle it.
"Don't worry, haha." The director said with a smile, "My classmate said that your watermelon is the best variety he has seen all over the country, so this is not only watermelon money, but also seed money, so it is worth the price." ”
Then Xu Yin was relieved.
She went to the finance department to get the money, and went straight to the breeding lake to get the fish fry.
It just so happened that Master Yu's tractor had not been alive recently, so he borrowed it and transported the fry home.
Most of the people in the village were planting rice in the fields, and when they saw her driving the tractor back, they all straightened up and watched the tractor run near and far.
The people who are adjacent to the paddy field of the old Xu family asked Xu's mother across the ridge:
"Jinhua, where did you buy your fish fry? I heard that the fish fry of the Bigfoot family were bought at the Chengnan Reservoir, and the price was not cheap. ”
Mother Xu raised her chin proudly: "It's all my daughter who ran around to find it, and I'm only responsible for paying for it." ”
"Your family is so filial."
"Not only filial piety, but also work."
Xu Yin didn't know that her mother was showing her off again.
After releasing the fry, he drove the tractor to the dry land at the foot of the mountain and ploughed the two acres of land cleared of watermelon vines.
After two days of fertilization, cabbage and radish are planted.
The dried cabbage leaves are just used to fertilize the fields, and continue to grow watermelons after the winter.
Another acre of late-maturing watermelons will be harvested next month, and the carrots and overwintering peppers will be harvested.
She prepared all the seeds for Daddy Xu.
After finishing the work in the field, she returned the tractor, and when she got home in the evening, she hurriedly started to make dinner.
My uncle, aunt and two rice transplanters in the village were invited to help, otherwise I wouldn't be able to plant them all in one day. Of course, you have to leave them to eat before leaving.
Xu Yin was willing to use ingredients for cooking, cut a knife of fresh mutton and stewed potatoes, and took a net duck and chopped it into pieces to stew tea tree mushrooms, and then fried a few seasonal vegetables picked in the field.
Mother Xu came back early to cook, but saw that the table was already full of dishes.
"This ...... Yin Yin, this is what you did? Mother Xu was stunned.
Does her daughter know how to cook? How did she not know?
"Ahem, I learned from my sister-in-law when I was in Tongcheng.
"What? Is your sister-in-law harsh on you? Do you cook three meals a day? ”
Seeing that there was a posture of rushing to Tongcheng to find his daughter-in-law to settle accounts.
Xu Yin couldn't cry or laugh: "Mom, I want to learn it myself." No, I learned that I can still cook it for you and my dad at home. ”
"But ......"
"Oh, what is it! You wash your hands, and I'll call Daddy for them to eat. ”
"Shout, they'll be back after plugging the rest."
Mother Xu glanced at the dishes on the table sourly, and when she saw it, she almost covered her chest and shouted distressed: This ruined girl, one meat dish is not enough, and she actually served three dishes!
"Mom, we received five hundred for the balance of our watermelon." Xu Yin smiled and took out the money.
"Pop ......"
The towel in Xu's mother's hand fell.
